No matter how unhappy the family is, it can't change this fact, let alone stop the implementation of the new policy.

As soon as the celebration banquet ended that day, the whole Hexi opened the prelude to the implementation of the new policy.

For a time, new policies such as the uniform land system, the three-long system, and the integrated payment of grain by officials and gentry were vigorously implemented in Wuwei, Xijun, Panhe and other counties.

According to preliminary statistics, the population of Hexi is much larger than originally estimated.

Among them, the extra 200,000 people, the vast majority of them were hidden by the major families.

In this way, with the addition of nearly 400,000 people in the Western Regions, the total population under Wei Shuo's rule has reached more than 1.6 million.

While busy with government affairs, Wei Shuo selected 3,000 people from the Xianbei captives, mixed them with 6,000 young people, and organized the three-compartment cavalry.

In this way, the Hexi Army has a total of seven chambers of cavalry and eight compartments of infantry, which temporarily meets the current military needs.

After planning in the general direction, Wei Shuo handed over the specific matters to the Metropolitan Protectorate and the General's Mansion respectively.

He often led his direct officials to go deep into the fields, visit remote villages, and inspect the people's conditions in various places.

……

On this day, Wei Shuo had just finished inspecting the implementation of the surrounding Juntian system and walked on the road back to Guzang.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he encountered robbers blocking the road.

Seeing someone dare to wield a knife and a gun on his own turf really annoyed Wei Shuo.

In fact, it can't be blamed on him, but it is really the beginning of Hexi's decision, and the Zhichong Prefecture has not yet been established, so there will be remnants of the defeated brigade as a disaster.

Unless a complete military system is established in various places, it will definitely not be able to take care of the land west of the river with only tens of thousands of troops.

Just when Wei Shuo thought about going back, when he urged the General's Mansion to speed up the preparation of the government army, there was already a mess there.

Among them, the robbers were obviously a group of routs, and somehow they were in the place, so they occupied the mountains here and became thieves.

On the other hand, the clothes are not ordinary people, and there are dozens of guards with knives and guns in their hands, which shows that the origin is not simple.

In fact, the party that was robbed was the Meng caravan of the family, and the leader of the old man was Meng Ming, the current head of the Meng family.

The Meng family is also a member of the Wuwei family, but it is not as good as the top families such as Zhang, Suo, Ma, and Guo, and is only a second-class family.

Neither financial nor influence can be compared with the top families.

Meng Ming looked at the one hundred and tenth bandits in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he felt very troubled.

He didn't expect that when he was about to arrive in Guzang, he would encounter robbers who would rob his house.

Seeing this scene, Meng Ming couldn't help but think of the experience west of Jiuquan.

Due to the presence of government soldiers stationed there, bandits have long been extinct, and along the way, he almost forgot that he is in troubled times.

It wasn't until after entering Zhangye that Meng Ming gradually returned to reality.

It was this trip to the Western Regions that gave Meng Ming a deeper understanding of Wei Shuo.

At the same time, he also realized that only such a person can hope to end the troubled times and return the world to a prosperous future.

"Father, how about letting my daughter meet these bandits?" Just as Meng Ming was pondering, he saw Meng Yao coming to his side with a horse.

Meng Yao is not simple, she is a famous Meng's tiger girl, she doesn't like women's makeup since she was a child, but she likes to dance with knives and guns.

She has practiced martial arts for many years, and she has cultivated a real skill, and ordinary people are definitely not her opponents.

Originally, Mrs. Meng didn't like her daughter dancing with knives and guns all day long, but Meng Ming thought that when there was chaos today, she had a martial arts body, which was enough to save her life at a critical moment, so she supported her daughter to practice martial arts.

"Yao'er, don't be in a hurry, let your father step forward first to say peace, say peace."

Due to the large number of bandits, Meng Ming was reluctant to fight directly, and if the other party did not rush to kill them all, he would not mind giving up his wealth to open the way.

The daughter is brave, but after all, the sword and gun have no eyes, and the rest of the guards are not as good as the daughter, and there will be casualties in the fight.

"Humph! Want to get in the past? It's not so easy, leave the goods and women, and Lao Tzu will let you go. ”

As soon as the robber's words came out, things couldn't be better, Meng Ming secretly glanced at his daughter and motioned for her to see the opportunity to do it.

Meng Yao nodded slightly, quietly drew his bow and arrows, bent his bow and arrows violently, and shot away at the leading bandits.

With a whoosh, I saw the arrow like a black lightning bolt, passing through the throat of the bandit leader in his incredible eyes.

Yes! The leader of the bandits let out a terrible scream, clutched his throat and fell to the sky.

Meng Yao's hand fiercely shocked the rest of the bandits, as if they were frozen and motionless.

"Kill, kill that woman, avenge the big boss."

After a while, the other leader of the robbers reacted and instigated all the robbers to besiege him.

Seeing this scene, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yao's mouth, he drew his spear, hit his horse to meet him, and the rest of the guards were not to be outdone and hurriedly followed.

Wei Shuo, who was about to step forward to help, couldn't help but light up when he saw this scene, he didn't expect Meng Yao to be so good.

Now he was not in a hurry to go up to help, but watched the battle with taste.

Meng Yao was really brave, surrounded by dozens of bandits, he was not afraid, and danced the spear in his hand, forcing the bandits to get close.

However, it is a pity that this group of bandits came from an unusual background, and they once stayed in the Lu army, so they know a little bit about the way of battle formation.

At that moment, the bandits were divided into two groups, one group surrounded Meng Yao in a group, preventing him from having the energy to support others; The other group went all out to besiege Meng Ming and others.

As a result, Meng Yao's pressure increased sharply, and she was restrained by her father's safety from time to time, and she couldn't devote herself to the fight.

Seeing that the bandits gradually gained the upper hand, Wei Shuo no longer watched the play.

I saw that he waved his hand, and the guards killed him like wolves and tigers.

"Where do bandits dare to make trouble on the territory of the Hexi Army? Don't you want to live? ”

The bandits who were originally fighting suddenly heard the name of the Hexi Army, and they became a mess.

The prestige of the Hexi Army has long been deeply rooted in the souls of everyone, and just hearing the name is enough to scare everyone into weakness, how can they have the courage to come forward to fight.

In a short time, all the 100 bandits were subdued, except for a few who were killed, the rest were all captured, and none of them escaped the net.

"I don't know which general of the Hexi Army came to help? The old man is grateful. "For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, let Meng Ming be grateful to Wei Shuo and his party.

"In Xia Weishuo, he became the lord of Hexi, but let the people under his rule suffer greatly from bandits, and I feel ashamed and cannot thank him."

Hearing this, Meng Ming was stunned, but he didn't expect that the person who reached out to rescue was Wei Shuo himself.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and thanked him repeatedly.

"It turned out to be the protector of the capital, Meng Ming was polite."

"The head of the Meng family, please hurry up, it is said that Shuo is incompetent, so that bandits everywhere will run rampant."

"Eh, most of them are heavy, Hexi is initially decided, and it is not surprising that there are fish that have slipped through the net as a disaster."

"The old man has traveled all the way, and he has seen that Gaochang, Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places are well organized by Daduhu, which shows that Daduhu is well versed in the way of peace and security."

"The head of the Meng family has a reputation, it is all the credit of Yang Thorn History and Song Changshi, Shuo doesn't dare to take credit."

When Wei Shuo and Meng Ming were busy greeting, Meng Yao couldn't stop looking at Wei Shuo.

She didn't expect that the Dadu Protector of the Mighty Hexi was not yet at the age of a weak crown.

"I don't know who this is?" After chatting for a while, Wei Shuo pulled the topic to Meng Yao without a trace.

"This is the little girl Meng Yao, who made most of the guards smile, she didn't love red makeup since she was a child, she only loved dancing knives and guns."

"It turned out to be Meng Xiaoniang, I didn't expect martial arts to be so good, I don't know if you would like to be a marquis on the battlefield?"

"Huh? Most of them laughed. ”

Meng Ming couldn't help but say that he rejected Wei Shuo's proposal, it was one thing for him to let his daughter learn martial arts, and it was another thing to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"That's a pity, originally Shuo intended to recruit Meng Xiaoniang into the guard camp, and it is not impossible to command and make a high position in the future......"

As soon as Wei Shuo said this, Meng Ming, Meng Yao, father and daughter, both changed their faces.

Among them, Meng Ming was frightened, while Meng Yao was completely surprised.

The proposal to let Meng Yao serve as the commander of the guard battalion was not a whim, but a decision made by Wei Shuo after careful consideration.

After a period of investigation, Kang Long was okay as a personal bodyguard or charging into battle, but he was not suitable for managing the guard battalion.

He was desperate to promote capable generals to lead the guard battalion, but he never found a suitable candidate.

It wasn't until today that I met the famous Empress Meng in history and had the previous advice.

"Master Meng, little lady Meng, don't be in a hurry to refuse, think about it when you go back, Shuo will wait for good news."

Looking at Wei Shuo and his entourage, Meng Ming and Meng Yao's father and daughter were in a difficult mood for a long time.

It is no wonder that Wei Shuo dominates one side at a young age, which has a lot to do with his eclectic promotion of talents.
