"My lord, Dongchang Mansion is connected to Shandong and Henan, and there is the Yellow River Canal transportation, which is an important strategic location. Tang, Song, and Yuan have all stationed heavy troops here, although my Ming Dynasty is different, but Dongchangwei also has 5,000 people. It's still easy to wipe out a gang of bandits. ”

"That's not great...

"My lord, let me finish, if according to the normal situation, my lord will go to the state capital, and if the prefect orders the thousand households to send troops to suppress the bandits.

With the temperament of those Qiu Ba, sending troops will definitely ask for money and food. How much silver is an adult willing to pay for a county lieutenant who should not exist? At the end of the year, if the senior official asks, how will the adults explain? ”

Mr. Shen said lightly: "Besides, the cross slope extends in all directions, there are mountains to defend, and it is only a hundred miles away from the Yellow River.

Taking a step back, there are many merchants coming and going on the cross slope, and they have never heard of the bandits. The adults suddenly sent troops to suppress the bandits, where did they find the name of the teacher? ”

Han Zhixian was about to be stunned by him, and said irritably: "So you can't fight?" Then let the official spend money to ransom people? ”

"It's not that you can't fight, but you can't be beaten by the government!"

Mr. Shen said: "Your Majesty is seventeen years old, and when he first took charge of the world, he encountered the war situation in Liaodong, and Jiaodong has become an important defensive place. Several guards near the sea were stationed with heavy troops to guard against the invasion of the eastern captives. At this time, you are using troops to suppress bandits, you are adding to the blockage of the governor! Even if the bandits are successful, it will leave a bad impression on Your Majesty, and your official road will be a little bumpy. So if you want to fight, you can only fight! ”

"Fighting?" Han Zhixian was surprised.

"That's right, Rustic Fight! In order to fight for water, it is the fight of tens of thousands of people, two or three times a year. In the name of fighting weapons, the victory is meritorious in suppressing bandits, and the defeat is meritorious in governing the locality. ”

Shopkeeper Feng's eyes were about to pop out, there was still this kind of play.

Han Zhixian pondered for a moment and was happy: "Yes, yes! It's a good idea. ”

Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Besides, if the bandits ask for ransom, how can there be any reason to ask the county government?" Naturally, the blood book must be returned to each family, so that each family can pay money to recruit the people, and our county government is just conforming to the will of the people and upholding justice for the people. Of course, the caravans of the Feng shopkeepers have been taken away with a lot of things, and I'm afraid they will have to do it a little more! ”

"That's that, please rest assured." Shopkeeper Feng smiled busily and nodded in agreement.

Layers of white sweat on his body.

Silently calculated in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sure enough, you shouldn't play your heart to the county office, it's full of human spirits. This little bit of his own Taoism is simply an axe in the class.

Needless to say, in addition to the money for organizing the people, this Mr. Shen also has to send a copy.

This time, it's a loss.

----

The afternoon sun was full of firepower, and the sun made people sweat layer by layer.

The Golden Buddha stood in front of a row of newly built wooden houses, looking at the people working in the sun in the distance, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, I stupidly joined the food party last night, otherwise I am afraid that there will be another fat man who works today.

Stuffing the cherry in his hand into his mouth, the sweet and sour juice filled his taste buds, making him squint.

"There are so many strange things on the mountain behind this, there are cherries growing in the cabbage, and a big bunch of them, it's really a novelty!"

The Golden Buddha looked at the hour, turned back to the wooden house, and pulled out a small cart with two huge pots on it.

At this time, a man in black came over with a huge wooden basin and shouted, "It's time to eat!" It's time to eat! ”

The wooden basin was two meters in diameter, waist-high, and it rumbled on the ground, shaking the gravel.

The Golden Buddha was secretly speechless.

It's not the first time I've seen it, and I still find it unbelievable.

Could it be that the stories of witches and qi refiners told by these people are true? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they were all Hercules.

Seeing that the workers had already run this way, the golden Buddha shook his head, no longer thought about it, lifted the lid of the pot, knocked it three times with a long-handled spoon, and shouted: "Line up, come one by one, don't fight, don't grab!" You know the rules, everyone in line has something to eat, and there is no one to grab! ”

The fifty people in front of him lined up in a column in an orderly manner, waiting for food to eat.

The Golden Buddha rolled his eyes and grunted: "It's a cheap skin, who doesn't fight and is disobedient." ”

Kong Chen smiled bitterly, what is the matter, obviously you can hold the beauty at home and drink a little wine, but you have to listen to the person surnamed Feng to come to the cross slope to make trouble, so that now you are being taught a lesson, and you have to farm every day, you can't live this day.

He was relatively high in the line, and it didn't take long for his turn.

The man in black gave him a wooden bowl of rice, and the golden Buddha gave him a large bowl of soup, and then waved his hand to tell him to get out of here.

Kong Chen didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked away, chose a flat ground, and sat down to eat.

The wooden bowl was huge, bigger than Kong Chen's face.

The food is also very good, the rice with white flowers is pointy, and there is obviously meat in the soup, and the taste is not generally good.

It's all evil, even if he is treated like that by the man in black, every time he eats, he can't help but feel grateful in his heart.

I am so blessed to be able to eat this delicious taste.

If it weren't for his family, he would even want to stay and work every day in exchange for food.

There is only one thing that he can't figure out, these two wooden bowls look like chestnut shells no matter how he looks at them, but the chestnuts have never been so big, which is really incomprehensible.

At this time, Cao Yan came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, have you heard?" ”

"What did you hear?"

"There's a way to leave."

"What, you want to escape?" Kong Chen was taken aback.

Cao Yan hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "What are you going to do, adult?" Can you shout about this? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"My lord, I have been secretly inquiring for a few days, and I heard these news from the mouth of a man in black." Cao Yan looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he put his mind at ease, held the rice bowl, and said while eating.

"These men claimed to be the Gourmet Society, and it was the Leader who spoke to us that night, and the man in black who interrogated us in a mask was the Chief's Guard. Those people were ruthless, and their eyes were cold, and they were simply not human. ”

Kong Chen nodded with palpitations, isn't it.

"But these men in black who don't wear masks are different, they are much easier to talk to. More than 50 of us, if you want to leave safely and soundly, you can swear to join the food party, and after completing a certain number of tasks, you can leave directly! ”

Kong Chen was incredulous, "Will they just let us go?" ”

"Naturally, it's not that simple, it is estimated that some restrictions will be placed to prevent us from talking nonsense!" Cao Yan patted his thigh and said: "But this is okay, I can survive without having to pay money, and I rely on a powerful organization, no matter how you look at it, it's cost-effective!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the county master will send troops to suppress here?"

"Let's talk about them if they can go into the mountains!" Cao Yan's heart palpitated, and he said in a low voice: "I saw it just now, there is a big dog bear lying on the way into the mountain, more than a person tall, and there is a single horn on the top of the head. ”
