Jiang County's name is Jiang Feng, the word is clear, and he is originally from Jingyang County, Chuzhou.

He was promoted at the age of 20, admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 40, and only found a position as a county magistrate at the age of 46.

Jiang Feng has served as the county magistrate of Jiaxian County for two years, and according to the official system of the Xia State, he can still serve for another two years. If the political performance is not enough to be promoted after two years, then Jiang Feng's career will end here.

However, now that the world has changed dramatically, no one can say whether the imperial court will send successor officials to the states, after all, since the last opening of the imperial examination, the imperial court has not held the imperial examination for eight years.

Jiang Feng's family lived in an official residence specially prepared for officials in the city, and was guarded by soap officials inside and outside. Jiang Feng's wife died early, and he had no children under his knees, only two daughters. The eldest daughter, Jiang Luoyue, is about twenty-eight years old. The little girl Jiang Luoshuang, only fourteen. The two daughters are in the back house on weekdays, never showing their heads, how tall they are, and what they look like, outsiders don't know.

…

After Han Won was promoted to centurion, his treatment suddenly improved.

Due to the killing and exile of many wealthy families in Jia County, many deep mansions and compounds in the city were emptied. Jiang Feng specially assigned an uninhabited mansion to the two brothers Han Yuan and Han Xian to live in. Some of the other dwellings were given by him to the soldiers of the new curtain.

In terms of eating, although it is not a big fish and meat every day, the Han brothers at least don't have to eat bran and vegetable leaves anymore.

Han Xian is literate and hyphenated, but he has been weak since he was a child, and he can't endure hardship, so he is not a soldier. Han Yuan asked Jiang Feng for him to take over the position of a Xu official from Jiang Feng, and asked him to take over the position that his father Han Tong had done, handle the documents for the county order, and draft the charter.

…

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the thieves.

After the thieves left Jiaxian, they leveled the other two counties of Gaoyang County one after another.

Speaking of which, these thieves killed from Yizhou to Chuzhou, and they didn't know how many cities they conquered along the way, including many counties.

The county guard of Gaoyang County couldn't help but be worried.

He knew that the county soldiers in the county town were all greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was impossible to rely on them to defend the city. He could only pin his hopes on Wang Bingyun outside the county, hoping that he would recruit troops as soon as possible and return to the county to assist in defense.

Wang Bingyun did intend to train the army, but he was training for himself, and he never thought of making a wedding dress for the county guard.

Wang Bingyun's men already had more than 1,800 men, which was almost the strength of two battalions. He had a great appetite, and if it weren't for the severe shortage of food and armor, he would have continued to expand his army.

Wang Bingyun is clear about the situation in the county town. There are not a lot of materials in the county treasury, but in addition to himself, there are two generals with troops in the city, and if those materials are divided equally, he will not be able to lose much.

After some discussion with Jiang Feng, Wang Bingyun decided to go to the county in person, and he must persuade the county guard to hand over most of the supplies to himself.

Wang Bingyun went to prepare enough generous gifts, some of which were given to the county guards, and more were distributed to the other two capitals, hoping that they would give in.

God knows how much money Jiang Feng has been greedy for in the past two years as a county magistrate, and he secretly hid the accumulated property before the thieves broke the city. This time, Wang Bingyun returned to the county, and the top and bottom points all relied on his generosity.

Before Wang Bingyun returned to the county, he handed over the training to Han won. This seems to tell everyone that the won has become his confidant.

Of course, Han Won knew that this was not the case, and Wang Bingyun was wary of him.

While Wang Bingyun promoted him to be a sentry officer, he also promoted Dahu, Shunzi, and Ma Erhan to sentry officers. The coterie of the won was torn apart.

Before Wang Bingyun returned to the county, he took two sentinels, one was his original county soldier, and the other was Ma Erhan and the recruits he led.

Wang Bingyun's intentions, Han Yuan felt that he was very clear. In doing so, it can win people's hearts and make Ma Erhan grateful. Second, Ma Erhan was brave and fierce, and brought him to the county guard to show his face, and when he asked for supplies, he could go more smoothly.

Han Won felt that he had changed a lot, and he wasn't sure if he had become smart or cunning. But he felt that he could see what a person was thinking through what he did, even his words and expressions.

When Wang Bingyun announced the promotion of Dahu, Ma Erhan, and Shunzi to be centurions, Han Yuan could feel a flattered ecstasy in the eyes of the three of them, and he could feel an unbelievable envy in the expressions of the other recruits.

When Wang Bingyun announced to everyone that he was going to take Ma Erhan to the county seat, he could also understand Ma Erhan's pride at that time.

After Dahu and Junzi became centurions, the teenagers who came out of Daliang Town together gradually stopped being led by Han won. Although everyone still calls Han Yuan Brother Han when they see him on weekdays, when they meet Big Tiger and Shunzi, they will also call him Brother Tiger and Brother Shun.

I don't know why, Han won's heart is not a taste for no reason. For a moment, he felt that he had lost his place in the hearts of everyone.

…

After Wang Bingyun left Jiaxian, Han Yuan trained the sentinels every day in strict accordance with the methods he explained before leaving.

In order to prevent someone from stealing and cheating, Han Yuan specially selected more than 50 people from his subordinates and supervised everyone with thorn sticks. The slightest slackening of the soldiers would result in severe beatings.

The sentries did not dare to complain on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were very resentful of Han won. Even Dahu and Junzi privately pleaded with Han Won for everyone, hoping that he would not be so meticulous and unkind.

Han Won ignored the two former playmates. He even knew exactly what the two men were up to.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news of Dahu and Junko interceding for everyone to spread among the recruits.

Everyone's complaints about the won deepened, and they praised the righteous Tiger and Junzi.

…

At dusk, Han Yuan dragged his exhausted body back to the mansion that Jiang Feng had assigned to him.

This house is really good, and the entrance and exit gates alone are majestic. Lanterns are hung on both sides of the lintel, and two stone lions squatting in front of the door. I don't know what kind of family lived in before.

Han Won held the door knocker and buckled it.

A boy who looked like he was five or six years old opened the door and said happily, "Big brother has come home."

This boy was rescued by Han Yuan and his party along the road after they left the village, because he was too young to be a soldier, so Han Yuan took him in. There is also a mute girl who also lives here with won because she has nowhere to go.

The little boy's surname is Xu Mingsong, he was born in a farming family, and his parents died at the hands of Western thieves. Everyone called him Komatsu.

The mute girl's surname is Lin Mingmiao, and the Han brothers call her Miss Lin.

Coincidentally, Lin Miao's father is a private school teacher in Daliang Town, who used to teach Han Yuan and later taught Han Xian, but he was sick before the thieves killed.

The Han brothers usually have something to do, and Lin Miao is responsible for all kinds of affairs in the family. She cooks for everyone every day, sweeps the floor and carries water, and gradually, Han Yuan and her younger brother regard her as a relative.

…

In the evening, Han Xian also came back from the county office. The four of them sat around a table and enjoyed the dinner cooked by Lin Miao.

Han Won picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a slice of pork and put it in his mouth to taste.

He cherishes his current life.
