Before Cai Lanling left, Cai Dao assigned him another extraordinary task.

It is to put those who originally belonged to Taihang Village or those who returned to Taihang Village, as long as they are scattered to other cottages, whether these people are middle and high-level village owners, or the lowest level of minions or craftsmen, but as long as there are children in the family, they must leave their own children in or send them to Taihang Village.

After these children arrived in Taihang Village, all the food and lodging were naturally arranged by Taihang Village, and the place where they were placed was naturally in this small Taoist temple. Moreover, at the request of Cai Dao, some of the craftsmen who were successively brought to or grasped Taihang Village opened a kiln at the foot of the mountain to burn bricks under the guidance of the brick burner, and some began to build foundations around this Taoist temple, preparing to build some simple but very solid huts around the Taoist temple as a place for these children to live.

After all, at this time, seeing that the sky is about to enter winter, Cai Dao must prepare a warmer place to live, or even a home, for these children who will work with him in the next few years.

When Cai Dao asked Cai Lanling to perform this task, he didn't say anything, nor did he ask him to give any explanation to the people below. As for the owners of other cottages, the deputy owners of the village, or the lowest minions under them, they can understand it. They took these children to Taihang Village as hostages, or they voted for their names.

All in all, everyone must follow Cai Dao's instructions.

Otherwise, even the owner of the cottage would have to be dismissed on the spot, and the little minions would be thrown down the mountain directly.

Cai Dao's decision is very important to his future career and plans, some of these children may die in the middle of the road, after all, Cai Dao is not a miracle doctor, let alone a god, he naturally does not have the ability to cure all diseases. However, most of these children were able to thrive under his protection.

In a short period of time, this move is bound to greatly affect Cai Lanling's prestige and influence among these bandits. After all, Cai Dao's own identity is only known to a very small number of high-level bandits. For example, the two squadron leaders of the original Lion Village have now become the owners of the two sub-villages in the northernmost section of Taihang Bacheng in the Liao Kingdom, but the two of them have never known Cai Dao's identity.

This is also why Cai Dao is not too convinced of the two of them, so he will keep hiding from the two of them.

On the contrary, all the surviving masters in Taihang Village now know Cai Dao's identity.

However, it doesn't matter, after the Chinese New Year, when these village owners come to visit their children, they will lose their past resentment and hatred in their hearts, and only gratitude remains.

Cai Dao gathered the children of these bandits around him for three reasons.

First, of course, let these children be his own soldiers, and when Cai Dao is free, train them to tease boring children.

Second, prevaricating the two little ancestors of the Zhe family, Cai Dao didn't want to teach the two of them alone, but since his strategy had been exposed by the old fox of Zhe Kexing, and he accepted the big gift from others, he came up with such an idea. Anyway, if it's teaching, what's the problem with one or two hundred more students?

Third, Cai Dao is preparing for his master and plan when he grows up, and most of these children will become important members of the Cai family's military team in the future.

That's right, Cai Dao just wants to educate these children to become talents, so that they can serve themselves, and these children are his future team.

In the nursery school, the little eunuchs or palace maids taught by Cai Dao, as well as the children of those tenant farmers, when Zhao Xu was in power, how much could they survive in the turmoil during this period. He didn't know, but one thing, he knew very well, even if those people survived by luck, they were the people under the new emperor Zhao Xu, and they might be grateful for Cai Dao's teachings to them.

However, these people will definitely not be wholeheartedly loyal to Cai Dao.

The same is true of the children in the Cai Academy, 8,000 children, half male and half female, and even fewer of them can survive the next turmoil. Although Cai Dao gave them a lot of skills to support their families, they were still too young, and Cai Dao's backhand was too powerful. Therefore, Cai Dao can only say sorry in his heart.

As for the twenty boys adopted by Cai Dao when he was in his hometown, they had already been bought by Song Shenzong before. The percentage of them who survive is quite high. However, I may have long forgotten who Cai Dao is.

The team will be built from the dolls of this group of bandits.

……

At the same time, Zheng Xia, who had not yet taken office and was disgraced by Cai Dao's big drama, finally rushed to Taiyuan Mansion.

After converging his family's carriage, Zheng Xia was still cheeky and officially took office.

Since the two military and political affairs officials of the previous term left office abnormally, when Zheng Xia took office, naturally no one could handle the handover with him. This also led to Zheng Xia in the next month or so, just taking stock of the food and property in the treasury of various prefectures, sorting out all kinds of documents and cases in Taiyuan Mansion, as well as the big and small things on Hedong Road, these things are so complicated that they can't be sorted out in a while.

These things alone have already disturbed Zheng Xia's whole person uneasy.

To say, Zheng Xia still does not lack a little political skill and political vision, but he is also unlucky, if it wasn't for Wang Anshi's promotion, he wouldn't even be a magistrate, and then, he finally fought for his life and brought down Wang Anshi, but was demoted to Lingnan by Lu Huiqing's traitorous minister.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Xia has never been a local official at the level of the county magistrate or above, not only is he seriously inexperienced in governance, but also his own political ability is too low, according to the quantitative standard in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, at most between 60 and 65, so this has led to him repeatedly feeling extremely difficult when dealing with these government affairs.

What's more, because of Cai Dao's robbery, Zheng Xia himself ran to Baiyun Temple inexplicably, and he also experienced it himself, so he didn't know that now he was an official who was much more stinky than Li Xian, who was hated by thousands of people at the beginning. The officials of all sizes in Hedong Road and Taiyuan Mansion, as well as the officials in the various yamen, all stood aside and waited to see the jokes of this chivalrous man.

Zheng Xia fought down Wang Anshi, and therefore climbed into the conservatives, and his backstage was naturally very tough at this time.

Now, there are two bigwigs in the court who are temporarily supporting him, although Cai Dao's incident is very embarrassing, but there is also Li Xian, an unlucky ghost, and the thorn in the eye of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, who has taken the black pot for him, and the turmoil caused by that big drama has also temporarily subsided.

However, as soon as he Zheng Xiafu entered Hedong Road, Cai Dao was looted by the bandits, and Cai Jing's eldest son and several of Cai Bian's concubines were also sure to have fallen into the hands of the bandits, and there is no news of him so far.

No matter who should carry the black cauldron, and no matter whether Cai Jing and Cai Bian's sons are dead or alive, there must be a result in this matter!

Zhang Shangying is very smart, as soon as he saw that his desire to join the conservative camp was unsuccessful, he was still being splashed with dirty water by Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu, so he took the initiative to resign in order not to bear this injustice.

Then this hot yam naturally fell into the hands of Zheng Xia, who made him now take over as the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, the transfer envoy of Hedong Road, read the book .net

Therefore, although all the officials on Hedong Road were respectful to him on the surface, when he first took office, even the Emperor of Fuzhou came to congratulate him, but everyone was speculating about how long this successor unlucky ghost could stay on Hedong Road and Taiyuan Mansion.

If that Taihang Village is really so easy to exterminate, so many big families will not let go of Jingcheng, a shortcut to trade with Liao, and go around to the other three in the south.

Although Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu did not give Zheng Xia a clear deadline for exterminating Taihang Village, everyone knows that he, the chief official, may be able to mix up this year, but next year, if he still has no way to deal with Taihang Village, he will be the end of the official.

Zheng Xia himself is also difficult! If he does something wrong, he will naturally be punished by the conservative government, and his current official position is actually not as big as that of Li Xian's eunuch? Although Li Xian did not become the prefect of Taiyuan Mansion, he was an observer of Hedong Road, not to mention, the previous prefect of Taiyuan Mansion was a despicable villain at all, he was completely a pug under Li Xian's hand, and he was completely obedient to this dead eunuch.

Just when Zheng Xia was full of ambition and wanted to show his ambitions on Hedong Road, the biggest crisis in his life quietly came.
