Chapter 106: Take advantage of the fire to rob

"Two hundred thousand enemy troops?" Li Ming took the silk book and looked at the contents inside, but the description of the number of enemy troops couldn't help frowning, there was only Zhang'an County in front of Li Ran who falsely reported the number of dragons, and now the number of 200,000 enemy troops, is there also water?

"It's 200,000 indeed, which is still the most conservative estimate! Lord Taishou didn't dare to rush the number of enemy troops, even if it was reported by tens of thousands, maybe the friendly troops from the surrounding counties would not dare to come to support......," the envoy said helplessly.

If you directly say that there are only 30,000 or 40,000, so others either say 'solve it yourself', or the number of reinforcements sent is insufficient, and the result is destroyed by others, then Wu Jun Taishou is also to be sad.

It's just that the number of 200,000 enemy troops is indeed too terrifying, and I am afraid that the surrounding counties will go over to support, so I can't help but weigh it.

"I'm curious!" Zhang Mo on the side stepped forward and asked, "We Ji County is located in a remote area, and we don't have many troops ourselves, so we also have to prevent chaos in the local mountains." However, the enemy army has 200,000 troops, and generally speaking, it should not be Danyang County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County, even if it is Yuzhang County......"

"Your Excellency has sent letters to other prefectures asking for support!" The envoy didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said.

"I see, cast a wide net?" Li Ming nodded, no wonder even Huiji County sent people over to ask for help.

"Not really!" The envoy was worried that Li Ming would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained, "Taishou heard that the Lord has unparalleled combat power, and his soldiers are extremely elite, and he has even been able to crusade against the Thousand Dragons before, so he was the first to send his subordinates to ask for help!" ”

These words sounded comfortable, and there was a feeling that Wu Jun Taishou valued them very much.

"We already know the situation in Wu County! However, according to the Han law, without the permission of Lord Assassin Shi, we can't privately transfer troops to fight across the border! Li Ming finally handed over the letter of request for help to the messenger.

"But......" The envoy couldn't help but be embarrassed, although he also sent documents to other counties, but if he didn't bring back reinforcements, he was afraid that he would be blamed by Taishou, so he simply tried to persuade Li Ming no matter what.

"Huiji County is different from other places, there are Shanyue riots here, once our troops leave Huiji County, and as a result, Shanyue takes the opportunity to go down the mountain and cause trouble in the place, what should we do?" Li Ming knew what he was going to say, and didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"Well, well......" The messenger couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to leave.

"Lord, are we really not going to support?" After the envoy left, a group of generals came over, it was rare to be able to fight, they were still a little excited before, who knew that in the blink of an eye Li Ming decided not to go, and he was suddenly a little depressed.

"Not to mention that it is not appropriate to say that it is theoretical, and now it is just Taishou who came to ask for help, and there is no need to go to the rescue so quickly!" Li Ming sneered, someone would come over for help soon after him.

Seeing that Li Ming had already made arrangements, the generals didn't want to say anything more. Li Ming didn't talk nonsense with them, arranged for them to prepare well, and then went home directly.

When I returned to the mansion, I saw four cars outside, and the lanterns were written with the four big characters 'Gu, Lu, Zhang, and Zhu', and I knew at a glance that they were people from the four major families in Jiangdong.

The ancestral homes of the four major families are all in Wu County, Wu County, compared with Huiji, Wu County is their old nest, and they are naturally more important than Taishou. 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves are heading south, and God knows what will happen to their lair?!

Entering the hall, sure enough, the representatives of the four major families, Zhu Zhun, Gu Yan, Zhang Yun and Lu Jun, had been waiting for a long time.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, and you are actually here in person? Could it be that the dividends were paid in advance? Li Ming smiled and arched his hand towards everyone, pretending not to know. As for the end of the month, there will indeed be dividends, and now there are still a few days before the end of the month.

"Don't joke, my lord, the messenger shouted all the way down from Wu County, I just went to the school, don't say I don't know, the four of us came to visit, what is the so-called matter!" Gu Yan and Li Ming had the best relationship, so they stepped forward and laughed.

"Indeed, Wu Jun sent someone to ask for help!" Li Ming didn't deny it, "It's just that I can't say that Wu Jun Taishou asked me to go, I have to go!" Li, as the Taishou of Huiji County, has the obligation to ensure the peace of the party, but this cross-border battle is not legal in itself, so I have to wait for Lord Assassin Shi to speak, and I can only dispatch, right? I'm not the kind of casual person who has no rules! ”

"We will definitely protect in front of Lord Assassin Shi, and we will definitely not let the Lord suffer any trouble!" The four of them came forward one after another, Wu County was their base camp, and there was no room for problems.

"Eh, look at what you said, we have been working together for so long, and we are all old friends!" Li Ming pressed his hand in the void and motioned for them to calm down, "Originally, you all said that, so it's not easy for me to refuse...... Just ......"

"It's all burning eyebrows, can you give it a good time?" Gu Yan hurriedly said.

"Recently, I planned to check the situation of the acres of land in Huiji County, and I sent someone to investigate it earlier, and found that the acres of land under the jurisdiction of the counties of Huiji County are slightly different from the situation registered by the county government......" Li Ming looked at everyone with interest.

These fields are either reclaimed privately or maliciously embezzled, and many of them have not been transferred, or there is no information at all in the county government.

The reason is very simple, most of the heads are in the hands of the four major families in Jiangdong, and the Wei, Liu, and Yu families also have some hidden acres of land. The county order of Huiji County itself has no background, but he doesn't dare to offend these gods.

With Li Ming's prestige, there is no problem with direct investigation, but it is inevitable that he will offend people a little, and there will even be resistance. Maybe at that time, these families will incite everywhere, and even regard the matter of resisting the investigation as a 'good deed', and portray the Diao people who refused to be killed by the government to investigate the acres of land as 'heroes'.

It is rare to have an opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, of course Li Ming wants to maximize his interests.

"Gotta get it, Riyao is really unprofitable not to get up early...... It's just that you know that this is digging meat on our four major families, and even the major families in Huiji County! Gu Yan smiled bitterly.

"Digging meat? It's just that if you pay taxes according to the law is digging meat, then do you have to starve to death, and the government has to die of poverty to be considered good governance? I don't read much, don't fool me! Li Ming spread out his hands, "Besides, the loss can't be lost!" ”

"Good! We will go back and restrain our families and let them cooperate with the government to investigate! It's just that this reinforcement ......" Gu Yan communicated with the other three, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. If Wu County is plagued by thieves, then they have a greater loss.

Whether it is the various estates or the cultivated markets, they may be destroyed by thieves.

"Since everyone is so cooperative, then I want to come to the inventory work can be successfully completed! It will take some time for the troops to assemble, and I will try to solve it within three days! Li Ming said with a smile.

"Let's go back and arrange it!" Gu Yan shook his head, turned around and left, and the other three families also said goodbye and left. For the four families, there are not many fields in Huiji County, and there are naturally fewer things that are concealed, and there is nothing to lose.

Xun Biao also saw this at the time, so he reminded Li Mingqing to investigate.
