After the numbers of manpower, money, and food everywhere are probably gathered, and the various measures to defend the city are also agreed, this is over, and two hours have passed, of course, it is not necessary to start implementing it after all the discussions are completed, and everyone in the inner hall also knows the priorities, many methods will be agreed upon and someone will immediately go over to give orders, and even the Wang Hu and Wang Xiong brothers, who acted as guards, have also run inside and outside several times, and Zhu Da's family has already begun to patrol the city and the city wall at this time.

After everything was decided, everyone in the inner hall breathed a sigh of relief, so they knew what to do next, and they also knew where to use their strength, which was also related to Zhu Da's census method, the officials combined this method with the rules of doing things handed down by their ancestors, and it really meant that there was no leakage, and they did everything carefully and thoroughly, and everyone would not feel that there was anything to miss and feel at ease, although no one was sure, but most of them were calm.

Since the early hours of the morning, they have gathered here to discuss, most of them have not even had time to eat breakfast, and when the tense nerves have relaxed slightly, and the movements in the abdomen have come and gone, Master Hu hurriedly arranged for the back kitchen to make some fast meals and send them over, and when the aroma of food began to permeate, everyone in the inner hall began to yawn for days, and fatigue also followed.

At this time, Zhu Da, who had been silent for a long time, stood up from his seat, glanced at the room and said loudly: "There are almost more than 100 people who can be used in the third class, but these people are not the county government can manage, they are all the private interests of the elders, in addition to the more than 100 people in the yamen, there are dozens of men in the elders' families who can fight, these are private property, the enemy is current, we Huairen County must work hard to make it in one place, these people are unified by me to deploy and command, and I also trouble the elders to say hello, who wants to be confused, be careful and have no brains, It doesn't matter if a bastard dies, it's not good to affect the benefactor behind him, everyone, do I understand? ”

The head of the clerical officer, the big family in order to do things conveniently, are used to stuffing their own private in the third class of errands, in addition to a few dozen cronies, the head of the third class is more just coordination and leadership, this is the Ming Dynasty in various prefectures and counties Yamen, nothing unusual.

After Zhu Da unceremoniously broke it and warned about the threat, Ai Zhixian and Master Hu actually had some happiness on their faces, and the others were a little quieter, and they all agreed dryly.

"At such a critical juncture, I don't talk about any rules, I will take care of the deployment and employment, and the money and food should be taken care of by the father-in-law, the barracks, workshops, torture rooms, strong classes, soap classes and fast classes, ask me for my life, and the others will be arranged by my father-in-law, and the county magistrate will naturally have full powers, and my father and son will just run on their behalf." Zhu Da said again, and finally added a sentence at the end, but everyone knew that this sentence was just to cover up face.

After finishing speaking, the inner hall quieted down, what Zhu Da described was too rebellious, the county government of a county in the Ming Dynasty was so nakedly controlled by a pair of father and son who had no name, and it was not the ordinary kind of luxury in the secret of the big tycoon, it was a direct request for officials to obey it.

“...... This...... This is inevitably unruly...... "Someone still couldn't help but whisper, but the room was too quiet, after he finished speaking, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and the others bowed their heads and didn't mean to answer at all, Qin Juren still sat upright, but his expression was a little unnatural.

Zhu Da looked at the past, but it was the county ceremonial room inheritance, the clerks who have been working in the ceremonial room for a long time are often more like scholars, but this person's temperament is also very limited, seeing Zhu Da looking over and already having a look of fear, Zhu Da sneered, pulled the knife out of the sheath with his backhand, and saw the cold and shining steel knife pulled out, everyone in the inner hall was frightened, and the previous speaker stood up and took a few steps back and stuck on the wall, trembling like sifting chaff, it is said that the head of the third shift in the house can do more or less, but at this time they are all looking down at the ground, just doing nothing.

"What are the rules, the tartars who are coming are the rules! The lives of the people of the city are the rule! This knife in my hand is the rule! In order to save his life, for the safety of this Huairen, he naturally has to do extraordinary things, and when the Tartar is gone, everything will return to the past, if the Tartar does not leave, can you let the Tartar go? Zhu Da asked in a deep voice, and no one could deal with his words.

Qin Chuan, who had been sitting upright, laughed, and said while laughing: "For the safety of the whole city, you don't care about your personal prestige, this is really a righteous move, and after the fact, it will be passed on to Fucheng to Shanxi and even to Beijing, you will be commended, and you can also have a stroke in the history books!" ”

Although it is said that the son sings the father's harmony, Qin Chuan's words set the tone, and everyone is inexplicably relieved, since someone is willing to take the lead and take on this responsibility, and there is such a name afterwards, then everyone is nothing more than to follow along.

"Master Qin and Master Zhu are really righteous, Zhou is also willing to participate in the righteous act, in the next period of crisis, we are willing to have money to contribute, and make a strong contribution, if anyone gets in the way, Zhou is the first to refuse, Zhou also sells an old face, Lao Song is actually worried about causing trouble afterwards, he has always admired Master Qin and Zhu Gongzi, Lao Song, come and accompany him!" The first person to stand up and speak was Zhou Gui, the owner of the house, who not only expressed his support categorically, but also gave a round to the scribe who spoke just now.

The "old Song" came over to apologize, and the others followed Zhou Gui's statement, saying that it was only the horse that was the first to look forward, and even Aizhi County got up and said a few words.

"Father-in-law, the child has gone to patrol the city, and the money and food should be entrusted to the father-in-law!" Zhu Da walked up to Qin Chuan and said solemnly.

"You can do it with confidence, the grain table will be arranged properly for the father's meeting." Qin Chuan said it solemnly, but after saying this, Qin Chuan smiled dumbly, shook his head and said with emotion: "It's a little similar to the experience of the salt stack back then, but it was a brother who dealt with it back then, and now it's you." ”

The people around these words can also hear what is going on in Shengping Salt Stack, and the people in this inner hall are very clear, but now they just don't understand it.

When Zhu Da strode out of the county government gate, the street was not as quiet as when he came, but it was not too noisy, many Huairen people walked out of the courtyard gate in a daze, and when they saw the heavily armed patrol family, they hurriedly retracted, and some people ran towards the city gate regardless of it, and they didn't even know to avoid Zhu Da and their party, and they were directly grabbed by Zhu Da, and slapped them a few times.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going out of town!"

"The Tartars are coming, are you going out of the city to find death?"

"How can you stop the Tartars here, when the Tartars come, they will either die or be caught to the north, I have to hide in the mountains, and it will be safe over there."

"Do you know how long it takes to get into the mountains after leaving the city? Do you have a place to stay in the mountains? You've only brought a few baggage, how long can you last in the mountains? ”

Zhu Da asked the person who was going out of the city dumbfounded, and when Zhu Da let go of his hand and didn't run, he squatted in place and cried with his headache, and his family members hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and after a few words of comfort, he cried out.

"Go home and stay well, you only have one way to freeze to death and starve to death when you go out of the city like this, it is better to be killed by the Tartars." Zhu Da said a few words unceremoniously and led everyone towards the west gate.

Although this road is not very far, but there is more than the one who wants to flee out of the city, Zhu Da is too lazy to care, and the family behind him chased after him and stopped him, and now it is not so easy to get out, and he also met Zhu Da's team of family members along the way, they have young people in the county to lead the way, and there are trained armed men, and the chaos on the street is really not uncontrollable, which is also the reason why it is not too noisy.

Since leaving the county office, Wang Hu and Wang Xiong did not follow behind Zhu Da, and deliberately fell a little farther away, they are different from Jiading, they have a lot of freedom in action, and no one cares about them, the two of them only whisper there.

"Did he come up with this, or did Qin Juren come up with it?"

"It's not like Qin Juren, you can also see this person's temperament when you take the exam in Taiyuan, although he is bold, he knows the rules, this man in front of him is too nonsense, if it weren't for the protection of a lifting man, he couldn't deny it if he was a rebel afterwards."

"If you really want to save the people of the whole city, you won't have any sins afterwards, besides, the war is critical, and his arrangement can't be said to be wrong, if you let these country sticks take care of it, take the opportunity to make a fortune, and turn bad things into disasters is trouble."

"This Zhu Da may have taken advantage of it, how can the Tartars care about this small county town when they go south, but if they dare to do things at a critical juncture, everyone can see it."

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong are both in their early thirties and early forties, and they have a lot of experience and knowledge, in their judgment, the Mongolian horse team will invade towards a more valuable goal, and it is too much to gain and lose to gnaw down such a county town with complete walls, in fact, Zhu Da is similar to their judgment, but Zhu Da does not dare to gamble, and he must prepare for the worst if there are bad signs, he is really afraid of what happens.

When they were about to reach the west gate of the county seat, they saw some residents of the city walking back dejectedly, and when they saw Zhu Da, they either dodged to the side, or hid on another street, and walked in, all of them looked discouraged and desperate, and they had the answer when they arrived at the city gate.

Near the west gate of the county seat has been crowded with people, not to go out of the city, but to just enter the city, every people who enter the city, every family, is full of face desperate survival, are full of happiness, even through the city wall and the city gate, can hear the crying and begging outside, in such a situation, those who think they are smart or are frightened to collapse know whether it is better to be inside the city or safe outside the city.

There is already a team of servants at the west gate, led by Wang Jing, who is assisting the servants to maintain order, but if you look closely, it is better to say that the servants are helping the servants to keep busy.
