Chapter 018: One County, Two Systems

Early the next morning, Yuan Lang followed Zhang Yan and many of his subordinates to the streets of Changshan County, they mainly publicized the "new government" policy of benefiting the people, and also distributed reward funds to the opened stores according to the previous agreement, and also guided the shopkeepers who had doubts and were in the wait-and-see period again, hoping that they could be sensible and open in accordance with the will of the new county guard, and welcome a better tomorrow together.

Not to mention, Yuan Lang's set really worked, most of the shopkeepers heard that the new county keeper had come to the door to promise that their interests were protected, so naturally they were all willing to open.

But during the visit, Yuan Lang also found a problem, that is, there are still many stores that have not opened and have not found the owner, and the shopkeeper in charge of the store has provided Yuan Lang with the surname of the owner, Yuan Lang summed it up, and has the most stores, one is Jiao Sanye, Li Erye and his gang that he had contacted before, and there is another Yuan Lang who has heard for the first time, it is a big family called Huang Can, as for the other owners are one or two stores, Yuan Lang did not take it to heart.

After a day of visiting, there are about 100 families that have not opened, this Jiao Sanye, Li Erye, and Huang Can's two families account for seventy or eighty, which can be described as a big fortune, and can be described as the two major families in Changshan County.

"Your Excellency, you called me?"

As soon as Yuan Lang returned to the county guard's mansion, before he could sit on the heat, he saw Zhou Liang, who had been called, enter his inner hall to resume his life.

"Sit!" Yuan Lang asked Zhou Liang to sit down, and then said to him what he wanted to ask, "Zhou Liang, you are a native of your hometown, I want to ask you about the two families!" ”

When Zhou Liang heard this, he immediately replied respectfully: "What the adults ask, I know everything in the next place!" ”

"Good!" Yuan Lang straightened his sitting posture, and then said, "Let me ask you, do you know the three of Jiao Sanye, Li Erye and Huang Can?" ”

Zhou Liang frowned, although his expression was still difficult to grasp, but the attentive Yuan Lang still read the information from his face, that is, Zhou Liang knew, and these two families had a background.

"This ...... This Huang Dashan can say it, but that's it, this Jiao Sanye and Li Erye, it's better not to mess with them! ”

After Zhou Liang finished speaking, Yuan Lang immediately slapped the table, and he scolded angrily: "What a gut! Zhou Liang, aren't you growing other people's ambition to extinguish the prestige of my county guard, the world is no bigger than the king's land, no matter how small Changshan is, every inch of land is only in the hands of my county guard, why can't you provoke it, you explain it to me clearly! ”

Yuan Lang's anger frightened Zhou Liang to kneel and kowtow, he had never known that this county guard was approachable, when had he seen such a posture.

"Adult, adult is angry, it's not that the little one doesn't say it, it's just that I'm afraid of the adult, I'm afraid of the adult's ......"

"What are you afraid of, afraid that I can't be provoked?"

Zhou Liang was wrong in one sentence, and the next sentence was wrong, I saw that he was sweating profusely, his mouth was stumbling, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Yuan Lang didn't want to embarrass Zhou Liang, after all, it was the time for him to employ people, Zhang Tong's departure took away the personnel of the entire government system and the military defense forces, and the only ones left for him were those who didn't take them away, such as Zhou Liang and others who didn't look at them, or they were too dazzling to dare to take away, such as the treasures in the secret vault.

Yuan Lang felt that Zhou Liang didn't really know everything, so he eased his tone and said: "Zhou Liang, even if you say what you know, I think it's up to me to have the final say in Changshan County!" ”

Yuan Lang didn't have any official pretensions in his words, and he was called "you" and "me" by people, which undoubtedly made Zhou Liang feel very warm.

Facing Yuan Lang's questioning again, Zhou Liang decided to confide everything he knew, only to hear him say slowly: "My lord, you came from afar, I don't know, this Jiao Sanye and his gang, there are thousands of subordinates from Sanshan and Wuyue, they settled in Tongfeng Ridge outside the city, there is a cottage on the ridge called Longhu Village, many years ago, they were the number one mountain bandits in the local area, and their power is all over the county and beyond, and they are really the local tyrants!" ”

"Interesting, haha, interesting! It turned out to be a family! Yuan Lang had something to say, but he asked Zhou Liangdao, "Do you know what our group of people did before?" ”

Zhou Liang shook his head, obviously he only knew that there was a new county guard, but he didn't know the details of the county guard.

"Do you know that 'Huang Tian is local, and the year is in Jiazi'?"

"Who are you?"

"Ben Shuai is the son-in-law of General Tiangong, the current commander of the Yellow Turban Army, the ancestor of the bandits, and my father-in-law and his old family back then...... Ahem, let's not talk about these, let's say, just a dragon and tiger village, I will put it in my eyes? ”

"Ah, this, this...... The villain only heard that the governor had recruited the Yellow Turban Army, but he didn't expect that the nobleman was right in front of him, but the villain didn't know that it was really a sin, a sin, a sin......"

Zhou Liang kowtowed again and again, the former Yellow Turban Army captured the hearts of I don't know how many people, the official army hated the Yellow Turban Army, but the people who were dissatisfied with the court were supportive, and now Zhou Liang bowed so reverently, Yuan Lang can also understand.

"Okay, okay, let's not mention the courage of the year, you can tell me, how did this Dragon and Tiger Village survive to this day, didn't Zhang Tong encircle and suppress them when he was there? Just let them act recklessly, and they also did the business in the county town? ”

What Yuan Lang asked was what he couldn't understand, it stands to reason that the imperial court can't tolerate bandits, Longhu Village can stand tall in Changshan County so far, longer than their Black Mountain Village, it seems that there is a reason for this.

Even their dragon and tiger village did all the business in the county town, could it be that the county shou zhangtong at that time just let them behave recklessly.

Or has Zhang Tong been bought by them?

If Zhang Tong is in the same stream, isn't he afraid that the imperial court or the state pastoral government will hold him accountable for his negligence?

Obviously, the answers to these questions have to be inquired from Zhou Liang, after all, people are from their hometowns, even if they don't know the inside story, they can know about it.

Since Zhou Liang's chatterbox has been opened, then he has nothing to worry about, just listen to him and say: "Actually, Longhu Village has been recruited by the imperial court more than two years ago, so they are also an independent tribe recognized by the imperial court, they do not live in the county town, they still live in Tongfengling, but they have to pay taxes to the county guard every year, so that the county guard government agrees to their existence and retains their arms!" ”

"Oh? One county, two systems! It's new! ”

Yuan Lang heard for the first time that the imperial court would compromise with the bandits like this, when the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Black Mountain Village, there were no such superior conditions, either destroyed or surrendered, but there was no such thing as one county, two systems.

"It's just a dragon and tiger village, why should they negotiate terms with the imperial court? Did Zhang Tong take black money to help them talk? ”

Yuan Lang bluntly said what he thought of in his heart, there are no outsiders here, and Zhang Tong has fled to Bohai, his reputation has long been stinky, and it doesn't matter if you talk about him yourself.

However, Zhou Liang's answer was unexpected by Yuan Lang, and he only heard him answer: "This, it's really not Zhang, Zhang Tong's help." ”

Speaking of the name of the former county guard, Zhou Liang was more or less worried, but he expressed his understanding from a neutral position, and Yuan Lang didn't blame him for turning his arm out.

"Why is that? Could it be that there are many people in Longhu Village, and the imperial court cannot be exterminated? Can't you? ”

Yuan Lang himself vetoed his words, because the ready-made examples were there, and there were 10,000 or 20,000 people in their Black Mountain Village, plus the old Yellow Turban tribes who came to gather, how could it be counted as forty or fifty thousand, even these people could not withstand the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, not to mention the Dragon and Tiger Village, which only had thousands of people.

In the face of Yuan Lang's question, Zhou Liang didn't sell Guanzi, but only listened to him say: "Not for anything else, just because this Dragon and Tiger Village can directly meet the Emperor Shengshang, it is the will of the Shengshang, recognize their status, and let Changshan County open its business and freedom of entry and exit!" ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

The more Yuan Lang listened, the more evil he became, how could this old emperor know that there was such a cottage in such a remote place, could it be that his old man had ever been in love here. (To be continued.) )
