The family in the city is also true to its word, and it is also efficient.

On the same day, the silver taels agreed in the gambling contract were sent, and only silver was sent, not any food, and when the silver boxes were carried to the county yamen one by one, the soldiers and yacha in the yamen were still very excited.

"My lord, the money has been delivered!"

It seems that everyone has to tell Xu Xian the good news.

Xu Xian didn't say anything on the spot, and only after he arranged for He Yu and others to go out to arrange the distribution of rewards, he entered the inner hall, and Wei Dong, Shen Hao and others also came in, along with Huang Chong and Du Yong.

Wei Dong frowned and said: "Xu Zhixian, the local gentry family, just sent the silver, although it was sent in full, but there is only silver in the city, it is useless, food and materials are difficult to transport from other places, in the end, we still have to use the silver to buy these materials with the local gentry family, in the end...... I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket, and it's not enough to level the bandits. ”

"Adults should make a decision early!" Shen Hao and the other strategists obviously thought of this layer and reminded Xu Xian.

Du Yong and Huang Chong didn't think about it so much, they were still happy before, but after hearing this, their expressions also began to become nervous, everyone was looking at Xu Xian, waiting for Xu Xian to give the final strategy.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Actually, I have already thought of this stubble, if I ask the local officials for food and materials, they will inevitably drag it and not give it, and only if they ask for silver, they will send it very quickly, and it is estimated that they themselves also think of this layer, and if they want the officials to have silver, they will not be able to allocate food and materials!" ”

Wei Dong asked: "Then does Xu Zhi County have a good countermeasure?" ”

"You can only buy food from other places, if you buy it from these families in the city, then this bit of silver, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy back much supplies, and in the end the silver will have to be returned to these people!" Xu Xian said.

Wei Dong, Shen Hao and the others were all looking at each other, and from their expressions, it could be seen that they were not optimistic about transporting grain from other regions.

"I know the worries in your hearts, now we can only take one step at a time, we have to understand one thing, if you want to get food and supplies from the local gentry, unless the war against the bandits has reached the final stage, it is easy to make these people icing on the cake, if you want them to send charcoal in the snow, at most they will send some silver, and the problem still has to be solved by ourselves!"

Xu Xian also had a lot of confidence between his words, as if everything was under his control, "You may feel that it is a little difficult to transfer food and materials from the side, but this is also an opportunity, you can use these food and materials as bait to attract those restless thieves to come out and attack the official food, then you don't have to fight a tough battle, you can wait for work!" ”

After Xu Xian finished speaking, several people present were thinking about this question.

Shen Hao said: "My lord's plan is also very good, but after all, our number of men and horses is still a little insufficient, how can we ensure that while escorting food, grass and supplies, we can also defeat those thieves who come to attack?" ”

"It depends on the right time, the right place, and the right people!" Xu Xian said, "For the time being, there is no need to think about the problem of grain, grass and materials, after all, a lot of them have been seized from the Black Wind Village this time, and I will use these grains and materials to survive the current period of time, and then I will send people to contact merchants from other places to transfer grain from further away in Guannan......

Everyone saluted, "Yes, my lord!" ”

……

……

Xu Xian returned triumphantly, and the city was a place of joy, and the people's homes were killing chickens and sheep, celebrating the biggest event in the city in recent years.

The soldier took the reward he had just received and went back to reunite with his mother-in-law and children.

Xu Xian stayed in the yamen of Zhixian County first, and he was also worried in his heart: "Since the local family sent silver, then in the next step, the price of food and daily necessities in the city will rise, and these people will inevitably manipulate prices to prevent me from purchasing necessary goods from the market, and the people's livelihood will inevitably be affected, and they can't buy daily necessities with silver, so they can only rely on stored daily necessities to live......

Until the evening, Xu Xian had not returned home.

After Huang Chong patrolled outside, he came in and said, "My lord, it's not too early, why don't you go back?" Is there anything else to arrange? ”

"It's just that there are some things to worry about, but they can all be solved, Huang Chong, you take someone back first, I will go home soon, just a few steps, and I don't need your escort!" Xu Xian said.

Huang Chong seemed very insistent and said: "My lord, now that you have just leveled the Black Wind Village, if there are any remnants of the Black Wind Village, you must think of revenge against you, my lord, how can I not let you be in danger!" ”

Xu Xian smiled and didn't say much, he put down the booklet he had sorted out in his hand, then stood up and said, "Then send me back to the house first!" ”

Xu Xian cleaned up his mood and returned home, and in the courtyard, Bai Suzhen had prepared an incense case to celebrate Xu Xian.

The people in the family are basically there, and the family also looks festive, as if there is some happy event, even Tang Wanrong, who was recuperating because of physical discomfort before, also appeared in the courtyard.

"It's not a big triumph, it's just a rabble of Black Wind Village, let's go back and rest first!" Xu Xian is still very considerate of his family, and the time is not early, he doesn't want his family to blow cold wind outside.

The group arrived in the main hall, and Bai Suzhen asked people to put the prepared family banquet on the table.

There are a lot of dishes, and anyone in the family who has a certain status can also come over to eat together.

Bai Suzhen said with a smile: "I thought the officials would come back soon, but I didn't expect it to be now, but the meals are still hot, and it is rare for the family to get together for a meal, so it is regarded as a celebration for the officials." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xian smiled and said, "Celebration is secondary, it is important for the family to get together, and in a place like Yanshan County, it is also a kind of poor treatment for the family, and I still feel a little guilty in my heart." ”

Bai Suzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "Since the official has taken office in Yanshan County, we will naturally come, official, tell us how to pacify those thieves in Heifeng Village?" ”

Xu Xian saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Don't say it, let's have a family banquet together, rest early, I haven't rested much since last night." ”

"Yes!" Bai Suzhen saw that Xu Xian seemed to be a little worried, maybe after Ping Hei Feng knew it, there were still a lot of follow-up troubles that needed to be solved, she was very knowledgeable and said, "In this case, let's sit down and eat together as a family, let the officials eat, and go back to rest early!" ”
