"What does the county gentleman mean is that the law is severe, to prevent profiteers?" Xuan Shijing asked.

The county commander nodded: "This is also the method that the lower officials came up with according to the current situation in Minzhou, and it is also a last resort, but this approach is not without a trace." ”

"This is also true, but if this is the case in Minzhou, the court will ......" Xuan Shijing also wanted to do this in his heart, and posted the law in black and white to prevent profiteers from seeing the opportunity and sitting on the ground to raise the price, but the money in the government could not withstand the toss.

"Lord Hou, with all due respect, today's Minzhou, although there are three years ago, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also diligent and diligent in Minzhou, but today's Minzhou is completely different from the Minzhou three years ago." The county order said: "The lower official has been doing this county order in this Minzhou city and county government, it has been ten years, witnessing the ups and downs of Minzhou City, the most bleak one, Tuyuhun's army has hit the city wall of Minzhou City, the people in the city are forced to hide in the city in front of Tuyuhun's army, and wait until five or six days later, the army of Hezhou arrives in Minzhou, which relieves the siege of Minzhou, Minzhou is located in a remote area, how many mountains and jungles, even if the people are farming, the harvest is not as good as Guanzhong, naturally not rich, the people are not rich, The mountains are high and the roads are far away, how to talk about raising soldiers? 10,000 soldiers is already the limit that Minzhou can supply, and these 10,000 soldiers not only have to guard against the surroundings of Minzhou City, but also more than a dozen towns and cities around it, all of which are under the rule of Minzhou. ”

"Then in the past three years, how did Li Zhi, the king of Jin, deal with Tuguhun's eastward advance?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Hearing this question, the county magistrate sneered: "How? There has been no war in the past three years, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has been in contact with the royal family of Tuyuhun through his advisers, and after the autumn harvest every year, a large amount of grain will be sent to Tuyuhun, but it saves the army of Tuyuhun to rob again, in addition to this, the lower officials found that the strategists around His Royal Highness the King of Jin, that Lord Zhang, seems to have been in contact with Tuyuhun's people too often, and it seems that he wants to plan something this year, but His Majesty's paper order came too quickly, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and his subordinates also left Minzhou in a hurry, Left behind an empty assassin's mansion. ”

According to what this county monarch said, it seems that Li Zhi is already plotting with Tuyuhun for something, and it is His Majesty Li Er's Baiqi Division who has been staring at Minzhou for three years, not the Jinyi Guard under Xuan Shijing's hands, so Xuan Shijing's knowledge is also limited, but Li Zhiping gave the grain to Tuyuhun's people in vain, which is obviously very big.

"Over the years, the people of Minzhou have been spitting Gu Hun for a long time, but the imperial court has always focused on the overall situation, and there are no soldiers to Tugu Hun, and then Tugu Hun has entered the Tang Dynasty eastward, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a small fight, and it is not worth fighting." The prefectural order said.

"I see." Xuan Shijing nodded and said: "Since it is the border, there is no time when it is ten out of ten, there will always be a little friction, and Tuyuhun is obviously too greedy." ”

"So the arrival of Hou Ye is an opportunity for the people of Minzhou, and it is an opportunity to make Tuyuhun honest with one blow, and the lower officials also heard that Hou Ye's training of the 30,000 soldiers in Minzhou in the past ten days, if you add the support of the people of Minzhou, in the autumn and winter of this year, you will definitely be able to give a hard lesson to the Tuyuhun army who came to invade the Tang Dynasty."

"Ben Hou does have this intention." Xuan Shijing said, it's not that he longs for war, it's just that some people, some countries, deceive people too much.

Wang Xuance can destroy a country by himself, why can't he Xuan Shijing rely on 30,000 elite soldiers to fight back against Tuyuhun?

"Therefore, Xia Guan hopes that he can be severely punished in Minzhou to support Hou Ye to fight back against Tuyuhun and boost the majesty of the Tang Dynasty." The county commander stood up and bowed to Xuan Shijing.

"The county monarch doesn't have to be like this, since Your Majesty sent Benhou to this Minzhou, it is hoped that Benhou will clean up the situation in Minzhou, in this case, Benhou will write back to Chang'an, first inform Your Majesty of the matter as it is, and also have an explanation to the court, and by the way, ask Your Majesty to postpone Benhou's marriage." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

He and Jinyang are already engaged, if it is an ordinary time, about November and December, they should be married, but now Xuan Shijing is in Minzhou, and the situation in Minzhou is very not optimistic, and he can only wait until the matter between Minzhou and Tuyuhun is settled, and then return to Chang'an.

Xuan Shijing also wanted to carry a three-foot sword, make immortal achievements, return to Chang'an in a beautiful manner, and marry Jinyang.

Hearing Xuan Shijing say that he wanted to postpone his marriage, the county order was very moved, the matter of the marquis of Dongshan and the princess of Jinyang has been in an uproar in the whole north, and the most widely circulated among the people is the sky-high dowry given by this marquis.

I heard that just the team of dowry gifts meandered two miles.

"In this case, the lower officials will immediately return to the county office and post a notice to cooperate with the Hou Ye." The prefectural order said.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, there is Lao County." ”

"It's all for the people of Minzhou, it should be." The prefectural order said.

First, this county order is indeed for Minzhou, and he wants to fight back against Tuyuhun, and secondly, once Xuan Shijing plays Chang'an, if he doesn't move at all, how can he show his face in front of the Son of Heaven? In this Minzhou, my career has been here for ten years.

The speed of the county order is very fast, and it will not take long to go back, and the notices of the county government have been posted everywhere in the city, which is sharp-tongued, warning the traders in Minzhou and the surrounding areas, and those who sit on the ground and raise the price when the government buys materials are regarded as serious crimes, serious cases, or have life-threatening concerns.

Many people were surrounded by the notice, and some of them read out the contents of the notice.

"The government is going to buy supplies."

"I heard that the army outside our city is practicing every day these days, is it going to war?"

"Isn't it good that Minzhou has been safe and stable in the past three years? Why is it that all of a sudden, there is going to be a war? ”

"Who knows."

The people always like to live a stable life, and for the war to be fought in Minzhou, even if it is just speculation, it is enough to make people feel uneasy.

It's just three years of comfort, the people have forgotten the harm caused to them by Tuyuhun in the past, they have always thought that the government will solve all things peacefully, but they don't know that these three years of peace are just a conspiracy of Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Those who don't know are not guilty, so even if the people have any ideas, Xuan Shijing will not have any resentment against the people.
