Chapter 376: Losing Money to Recruit People

.

The honey strategy formulated by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan played a little role, which was reflected in the aspect of the Yamen recruiting officials, the original Jili Prefecture officials were not much, the main reason was that there was less oil and water, and there were not many monthly cases given, unless there was no way to come to the Yamen to do things.

In addition, the previous assassin was more picky, and he had to give gifts to others when his family was poor, and the result was that he was unwilling to give any benefit to people who did things in the yamen.

Otherwise, the master book will not go home to be busy for spring ploughing, and if you want to eat, you have to work hard yourself.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's honey strategy was to lose money, and they took out money to subsidize the people in the yamen, increasing the monthly rate by five times.

"Come on a few people, come out with me." Today's day is good, cloudless, the breeze blowing is not as cold as when I first arrived here, after a few rains in a row, the sky is gradually warmer, and the temperature here in Dalian is still relatively comfortable.

Zhang Xiaobao decided to go out and have a look, wanting to have more contact with the local people, and greeted twenty guards who followed Zhang Xiaobao out of the yamen.

The drums outside the yamen were re-erected, and the door was repaired, but no one had beaten the drum recently, and after asking the yamen, I learned that there was really something in the local area that didn't look for the yamen, because if you want to file a complaint, you need to take out some money first.

The previous assassin was very good at making money, and there was no decent county in the place, so there was no need for a county order, and the affairs of the entire state were all managed by the yamen, and if you wanted to file a complaint, you must have a lawsuit, that is, a paper, and the people in this place had a few literate people, so they had to find someone who could write in the yamen to write.

To write a copy, you have to take out at least five cents, only cash and not things, if you have to take something, it is worth ten cents.

As a result, the local people developed a habit that if there was really something to do, the village would solve it by themselves, while the people in the city would ask the older people here to help mediate, and they would not come to the yamen to complain at all, and they could not afford to spend money.

Zhang Xiaobao heard a very miraculous thing from the mouth of the yasman, that is, one person killed another person, and it was also solved by the local people not through the yamen, but through the local people, so that this person was responsible for the lives of the two families, and even the other party's daughter-in-law was also responsible.

This is still an advantage, because the official said that the daughter-in-law of the person who was beaten to death was more beautiful than the daughter-in-law who beat the person.

Gently patting the drum twice with his hand, Zhang Xiaobao walked forward with his hands behind his back, and from time to time he could see the woman carrying the child on her back, and she was hurrying with something on her head, and occasionally met a few men, and saw them squatting there playing chess that they came up with, looking very leisurely.

Zhang Xiaobao knows that this is determined by national characteristics, due to the war, the number of adult men has decreased, and all men have become treasures.

If a woman is working with a man in the family to help her, she will feel very happy.

Men rarely work, and men are only needed when there is a war.

It was also because of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's requirements that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were asked to pay a lot of money, so the man came out.

Walking around, Zhang Xiaobao came to the side of a river, only to see that many women here took their children to find a comfortable position by the river and beat things with ***, only to find that they were beaten with hemp, and after decay and beating, finally there was fibrous tissue left.

When the time comes, it can be made into sacks, ropes, fishing nets or clothes.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't have any purpose when he came out, just squatted on the side and watched, the woman who was working just glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and the others, and continued to be busy, while the children kept fighting, perhaps because there were people coming, some of the children became a little more honest, and the other part of the children were more happy.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't make a sound, squatted and watched, watching the other things on the hemp be beaten and let the water wash away, and watching the hard-working woman waving the *** in her hand there again and again.

Waiting for a woman to beat out a ball of hemp and put it aside to dry, Zhang Xiaobao leaned over and pinched it on the hemp with his hand, and the woman's child immediately became vigilant, afraid that the outsiders would snatch the hemp away, and the little fists were clenched, looking ready to fight at any time.

Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly retracted his hand, smiled at the child, took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, opened it and took out a small piece of rock candy, and said to the child: "Give you a piece of candy." ”

The child was still as vigilant as just now, and did not lean forward, his eyes were on Zhang Xiaobao's hand, to be precise, on the piece of candy, motionless.

"Take it, put it in your mouth and it's sweet." Zhang Xiaobao leaned over, took the child's little hand with a lot of bugs, put the candy on it, and asked, "Where is your father?" ”

The child stuck out his tongue ****** lips, after all, he didn't bear the temptation of the sugar, put the rock candy in his mouth, and immediately showed a happy smile, not as vigilant as just now, and replied: "Sleep at home." ”

At this time, the other children also found that it could be beneficial, and they came over one after another, looking at Zhang Xiaobao, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to give them some candy to eat.

Zhang Xiaobao very generously divided all the sugar, then stood up, looked at the hard-working people again, and turned to walk away.

One of the guards protecting Zhang Xiaobao came over at this time and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Little boy, this is the case on their side, men are rarely willing to work, all men who work, as long as they look at the appearance of that family, they must be better than others." ”

"Well, I also know, but it's too difficult to change them, so I can only take other ways, go back, go back to the yamen and post a notice."

Zhang Xiaobao was a little angry, what are you doing, why do you have to let women do it, men still want status, and they want to be lazy, they must be organized, so that they can't be lazy, and when they get used to it, then it will be much better here.

Back at the Yamen, Zhang Xiaobao wrote a few notices with the same content, asked people to post them, and stood next to the notices to explain to the people who came over.

The content is very simple, that is, to recruit workers and farm the land, and the land is the land here, but Zhang Xiaobao bought a lot, all of them are mountains, and they are cheap when they buy them, and Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care that someone impeaches him for using his position to make it convenient for him.

Mountains are bought, and they recruit workers from the local area, first cut down the trees on the mountain, and then make them into terraces, and then plant grain, although the good time for spring ploughing has passed, Zhang Xiaobao is still ready to let people plant rice, it's a big deal to harvest later, not to mention that the climate in Dalian is good, and the rice grows fast.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao sent out some people to go north, brought them weapons and salt, and allowed them to take the initiative to attack when they were threatened, wanting to poke out Mohe first, and then continue to check over there to see if they could pass by the two continents next to each other.

This thing cannot be done immediately, at least it will take half a year, and it may not be possible to reach that strait.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to a remote place, and there seems to be less excitement in the capital, and the people who usually think about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't mention it in the capital, after all, Jili Prefecture is too far away, and it is a remote place, so it will not be taken seriously.

Compared with the fact that many people in Baoxin County now want to arrange their own people to be officials, there is no hope for Jili Prefecture, they don't believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's ability is really big enough to build a place with a lack of population into a prosperous place, not to mention that there are many mountains over there.

Recently, people with smart minds have paid attention to the money bank, Datang money village is now getting bigger and bigger, people come to save money every day, and people also come here every day to withdraw money.

There is a storage fee to save money, which is much less than that of other banks, so there are many people who come to deposit, most of them are merchants, so it is much easier for them to go to other places where there are also rich banks.

Between one in and one out, the money in the bank has increased, and it has gradually stabilized, and it can be lent out, which is what people with active minds are concerned about, and they all want to be able to borrow money from Datang money to do things.

Just when many people's eyes gradually shifted, a saying suddenly became popular in the capital, that is, to be a soldier to defend their country, their relatives, and the emperor.

This is not about recruitment, but conscription, saying that the imperial court will soon recruit conscripts from the Tang Dynasty, a three-year military system, in these three years, you will have to be trained, and if you encounter a war, you will go to the battlefield.

After three years, the selected soldiers will stay and continue to serve as soldiers, but this time it will not be in vain, but there will be money to take, and if the soldiers who can't stay, they will also get a sum of money to go home.

It feels similar to the conscription system, but the connotation in it is different, even if the same money is given, the compulsory soldiers get relatively little money.

If this is the case, no one will want to be a compulsory soldier, and more importantly, the news that anyone who has become a compulsory soldier, once they reach the end of three years, can not only get a sum of money, but also be able to do the arranged work, which is the most attractive part.

It's just that rumors are rumors after all, and the imperial court didn't say that they really wanted to do this, and there was no accurate news, so many people watched from the sidelines.

The rumors were too strong to be true, and finally reached the court, the officials knew, Gao Lishi knew, and Li Longji naturally heard about it from other people's mouths.

On this day, Li Longji called Gao Lishi, Zhang Shuo, and a few people who could speak, and asked where the matter came from.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it doesn't matter where it first came out, the important thing is to clarify it immediately, otherwise the recruitment system will be over, the most attractive thing about this new rumor is to wait for three years to arrange things to do, and if the recruited soldiers have to let the court do this, where will the court arrange a place for them?"

Regarding this matter, Zhang said that he was the most anxious, he proposed to cut the border army, and he proposed to cut it, and he proposed to consolidate the soldiers in the capital, and recruited it with money, he can be said to have the greatest credit, and if he really did it according to another method, his credit would be invisibly smaller.

Therefore, he first raised his objections.

Zhang Jiuling also said beside him at this time: "Your Majesty, it's not just this, maybe the person who released the rumors felt that the effect was not good enough, and added another one, that is, those who stay after three years can become officials and serve in the Ministry of War, which is the most exciting thing."

Being an official requires an exam, or it is only possible to be influenced by the elders, and many ordinary people are waiting for the court to turn the rumors into truth, and the ministers have heard that people from other places have said that such things have begun to circulate in other places.

It is very nice to say, saying that defending Datang is a glorious thing, and the people of Datang must maintain the dignity of Datang, the country and the country, where does the country come from, and also said that one person is a soldier and the whole family is glorious, and there is a song to sing, you are not a soldier, I am not a soldier, who will defend the motherland, who will defend the family, who will defend the mother, who will defend her.

In addition to these, there is also a saying that someone in the family is a soldier and is selected, and this family can get tax-free treatment, and they can also get food or other things sent by the imperial court during the New Year's holidays.

The rumors are so terrible that it is said that many people in many places want to be soldiers, and they don't know who spread it, so they have to find a way, otherwise there will be chaos in various places. ”

Li Longji really didn't know that things had developed to such an extent, and he didn't have the idea of being a conscript, listening to what Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling said, he always felt very familiar.

"Your Majesty, others can't use such a method, the minister estimates that it is best to ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, with the skills of the two of them, they will definitely be able to guess who is behind the news."

As soon as Bi Gou heard Zhang Jiuling's words, he knew who it was, except for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he couldn't find anyone else, the strength was too great, but he couldn't say it without evidence, so he had to go around and remind the emperor.

Li Longji finally remembered, Zhang Xiaobao mentioned it that day, but he just said that other aspects were needed to cooperate, and now it is Zhang Xiaobao who has done it, and the so-called cooperation is naturally a rumor.

Zhang Shuo also figured it out at the same time, helpless and aggrieved in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Xiaobao did was easy to bury my Datang, and he must not be allowed to continue, and he should send a sternly worded will to Jili Prefecture and tell Zhang Xiaobao to stop immediately." ”

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate, since Zhang Xiaobao can come up with a way, he can naturally have a solution, Zhang and Wang have a lot of business, if the rumors are really released by him and Wang Juan, it will definitely be able to solve the problem of the placement of soldiers in three years, it is better to ask him what the two of them plan."

Old man Bi immediately objected to Zhang Shuo, he still believed in the skills of the Zhang and Wang families, especially the propaganda of what was said above, which was much stronger than the current direct recruitment of soldiers with money, and even if he wanted to raise private soldiers, it would not be as easy as now.

Li Longji also thought of this, he was also worried that the power of the Jiedu envoy was too great when recruiting soldiers, and Zhang Xiaobao mentioned that it was easy to control the military power of the Jiedu envoy after it was large, and to put it bluntly, it was a rebellion.

Thinking of this, Li Longji looked at Colliers again, hoping that Colliers would stand up and say something.

Gao Lishi is also the first time to encounter it, and he really can't think of the specific advantages and disadvantages, and when he saw the emperor looking at it, he could only tell the emperor what he had just thought.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the minister could write a letter to his family, ask Xiaobao what he was planning, and let him list the conscription according to the plan he made when he was a magistrate in his family before."

As soon as the words came out, it was determined that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were the driving forces behind the scenes, and only they were bold enough to dare to spread rumors casually, and even Zhang Zhong, who was still in Luoyang, would not dare to talk about the military system wantonly?

Li Longji nodded slightly, "Nalux wrote a letter and told Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan that if you want to do things in the future, say hello first, and then ...... One more time I was angry. ”

Li Longji is also very helpless, the two little guys don't make people worry, they will always make something happen, they all go to Jili Prefecture, they don't want to build well in the local area, and they have the leisure to spread rumors all over Datang, can't the small population of Jili Prefecture make it difficult for two people?

Gao Lishi immediately began to write letters, Zhang said that his face was very ugly, he could see how much the emperor had connived at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and if it was someone else, he would have already sent troops to arrest him and bring him back to the capital.

If the rumors of a place where the Tang Dynasty can rule have begun to gradually be accepted by the people, then the rumors here in the Anton Protectorate are even more powerful.

It not only includes the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but also adds an additional part of the content, that is, anyone who joins the army to defend the Tang Dynasty and defend the emperor, once he dies in battle, his family will be managed by the imperial court, and his children can enter the school without spending a penny.

At the same time, it is propaganda that the Tang Dynasty is the real motherland, the emperor is the only one, and all soldiers must listen to the emperor.

As soon as the rumors came out, the local people who had soldiers in their hands were not happy, because their soldiers' lives were not so good in peacetime, especially the children at home, and they didn't say that because he was a soldier, he could go to the academy, even if he wanted to, there had to be so many schools.

If this is not to shake the morale of the army, the rumor says that anyone who is a soldier does not need to have his own weapons or armor, but can eat three meals a day, have meat for a meal, and drink wine once every ten years, which really makes those who have soldiers in their hands start to hate.

They clearly felt that their soldiers were hesitant, they were not as loyal as before, they had no spirit when they trained, and they could be better if they fought, but they kept their minds hidden.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also have no way, they need population, how can they attract people to come? It is said that it is exempt from rent and tax, but now people don't pay it, saying that they are going here to give good land, who are you cheating, it's all hills, where can you get so much good land? It is said that it is to build a workshop and give more money, then someone needs to get the benefit first.

So the two of them discussed, and when they helped the imperial court build a compulsory army, they began to do it.

At this time, I felt that the time was almost up, five hundred servants were in place, and the gunboats could arrive in half a month, and the two of them began to carry out the next step, conscription.

Looking for Xue Daobi, Zhang Xiaobao said to him: "This time I will give you a very important task, you must find a way to complete it, if you do it well, you will be promoted immediately, and build a good house for your home, and give you more money, at least twice as much as now." ”

As soon as Xue Daobi heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, he immediately came to his senses, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, adults, even if you are small in the sword mountain and the sea of fire, you dare to break through." ”

"It's not so serious, it won't let you break into the sea of swords, you go to other states, and release an important news, that is, Jili Prefecture has begun to recruit soldiers, and anyone who is willing to come over to serve as a soldier will have three meals a day, meat for meals, and alcohol once every ten days, and his family will also come over.

Even if the people in their family don't work, the yamen in Jili Prefecture will also provide support, and if the people in the family are sick, the yamen will give treatment, no money, and the children in the family will go to the school in the state to study, and after three years, if they continue to be soldiers, give money, and those who don't want to be can get 30 yuan of money.

When you are fighting, you are injured and can't work, the yamen is raised, and they die in battle, their relatives are the relatives of the yamen, go, spread the news, I don't worry about changing it to someone else, you also have to be careful, don't let the soldiers catch you, take a few more people with you, if you are caught, send someone back to report the news, this official will do everything to rescue you. ”

Zhang Xiaobao began to assign tasks to Xue Daobi, saying them one by one, and every time he said a Xue Daobi, he was surprised, and when Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, Xue Daobi's saliva had already wet the front of his clothes.

Wiping his mouth with his sleeve and swallowing another mouthful of saliva, Xue Daobi said with difficulty: "My lord, it's easy to release the news, but if they really come, what do you use to let them be soldiers?" Is there really a school? How dare you help them support their families? Really give them meat and drink? If you can't tell me, they'll be able to tear down the yamen. ”

"The official does what he says, just do what the official says, and then the official will send someone to the state border to answer, go." Zhang Xiaobao assured Xue Daobi.

Xue Daobi made a look of openness, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, adults, the small one will be done for you." ”

As he spoke, Xue Daobi got up and left, quite a strong man who would never return.

Looking at Xue Daobi's departing figure, Zhang Xiaobao smiled and muttered: "Who said that I can't get the population, I not only want to get the population, but I also want to provoke a war and completely solve the matter here." ”

Wang Juan walked in from a door next to him at this time, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "It will cost a lot of money now, and I don't know when I will be able to return to my capital." ”

"If you don't spend it, there is no other way, it's easy to say that it's easy to return to the capital, who said that the soldier is only responsible for fighting, and the construction of the military industry also needs soldiers, and I will find a way to recover the capital as soon as possible, rest assured."

Zhang Xiaobao is not worried about this, as long as the population problem is solved, this side will be able to develop, but it will take a few more years to stay in this place, and if it is built, it can be regarded as an additional foundation for the family.

Since it was decided to conscript, Zhang Xiaobao naturally couldn't hide it from Li Longji, why did he need so many soldiers in one state? I had to say hello to Li Longji, and immediately wrote a letter, and before the letter from Gao Lishi came, the pigeon arrived in the capital first.

Gao Lishi received the letter and read the content on it, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only come to Li Longji.

Li Longji was looking at the model at this time, now there are five models in the palace, there are only four in Baoxin County, the fourth is just completed, animals and plants from all over the country are also coming to the capital, the zoo has been opened, and you can go in and visit it for a certain fee.

"Lux, come and take a look at the terrain of Henan Road, I have been here a lot, but I have not seen everything." When Li Longji saw Gao Lishi coming, he hurriedly beckoned to watch together.

Gao Lishi still had that thought, holding the letter in his hand, he came to Li Longji's approach and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao has sent a letter, he wants to recruit troops in Jili Prefecture, so that Juan Juan's record can be used to join the army." ”

"Oh, got it." Li Longji didn't think anything of it, and responded casually, it's good to have soldiers, don't worry about Xiaobao and Juan being threatened over there.

"Your Majesty, Xiaobao wants to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and it was 30,000 in the early stage, and it has already begun." Colliers had no choice but to say it again.

"100,000 is good, there are many soldiers, what? How much is conscription? Lakh? What is he going to do? Want to rebel or not? Li Longji didn't react at first, waiting for his reaction to come back, knowing how much he was startled.

Gao Lishi handed over the letter and said, "Your Majesty, what Xiaobao said in the letter is clear, you can see it. ”

Li Longji really has to take a good look at it, the letter is still relatively thick, and I don't know how much effort it took for the pigeon to fly over, holding the letter in his hand, from the beginning to the end, Li Longji's eyes are no longer focused, and he is stunned in one place.

After a while, he shook his head vigorously, looked at Gao Lishi and asked, "Lux thinks this plan is feasible?" ”

"I can't see it, this plan is too big." Colliers shook his head as well.

He knew what was written in the letter, Zhang Xiaobao proposed to recruit 100,000 soldiers, all to his own Jili Prefecture, this plan is estimated to take three years to complete, the first 30,000 will be carried out immediately, and after the conscription, it is not placed there, but scattered and transported to other places, such as the place where Tibet meets, such as the place where it borders with the Turks.

Let other places receive it, and at the same time, other places will also send 10,000 soldiers to supplement the soldiers in Jili Prefecture, so that there is no fear of rebellion by the officials in the place where the troops are sent, after all, the soldiers still have their families staying in Jili Prefecture.

When 10,000 people arrived in Jili Prefecture, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan commanded to fight and did not worry that the soldiers would not be able to do it because they were facing their relatives, and their families were elsewhere, so it was impossible to rebel.

Then Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wanted to use this part of the army to continue to occupy the places to the north, look for good things there, and turn the people there into Tang people.

This plan is too huge, don't look at the north as belonging to the Tang Dynasty on the map, in fact, it can't be managed at all, there are few people, and the weather is cold, in this case, it is almost a nominal Tang territory, and it is impossible to really let there pay any taxes.

The plan is good, but the question is whether it can be completed, after all, I am not familiar with that side here, and the road is difficult, so it is easy to pass many people and never come back.

Li Longji also thinks so, to say that he does not plan to expand the territory is false, but it is not so easy to expand the territory, and he does not know what exactly is in the north and whether he will encounter a formidable enemy.

After reading the letter again, Li Longji said: "Xiaobao wants me to see the conscripts, he is ready to take the first step, if it is good, he will do it according to their methods, the soldiers are not in charge of the local area, it is indeed safe to use, the only thing that is not at ease is that the soldiers sent over bully the local people."

Don't let anyone else know about this matter first, let Xiaobao do it over there, and you will know when the success or failure comes. ”

Li Longji agreed to this, and Gao Lishi continued to write a letter to send it there.

Half a month passed in a hurry.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's house will finally be built, the main house can be occupied, and the other courtyards still need to continue construction.

In the recent days, all the people of Jili Prefecture have been mobilized, even the older children have helped, cutting trees to look at trees, opening up the land, the school was the first to be built, the workshop is being built, and the charcoal kiln used to burn charcoal has also been completed.

Xue Daobi successfully spread the news, and at the beginning, the people with soldiers in other places had not yet reacted, so that 10,000 people dragged their families to Jili Prefecture, and 10,000 soldiers with their families were not 10,000, but more than 40,000 people.

As soon as these people arrived in Jili Prefecture, they were arranged to find their own way to build houses, and ships from Henan Province to Jili Prefecture came and went, bringing all kinds of things they needed here, transporting back the seafood here, and charcoal from the first kiln.

This kind of back and forth Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have been losing money, charcoal and seafood are not worth much in Henan Province, if you want to sell it at a good price, you need to continue to transport it deeply, and the road fee is not a small number, after all, if the boat of two people does not help transport things, you can earn more money for travel expenses elsewhere.

Zhang Xiaobao did what he said, and really provided all the living materials for the more than 40,000 people who came later, and the 10,000 soldiers also ate three meals a day, and there was meat for each meal.

After inquiring about the 10,000 people who came over as soldiers, they saw that the yamen in Jili Prefecture was indeed talking, and they also started to think, especially when they knew that a school was built for children here, and someone taught literacy, even if people elsewhere didn't think about themselves, they also hoped that the next generation would be promising.

Another 10,000 people who were willing to become soldiers came to Jili State, and only then did the local soldiers react and wanted to stop the population from continuing to move to Jili State.

They thought that Jili Prefecture would not be able to do what they said at all, and they thought that they could take this opportunity to let the people in the past be able to drive away the officials sent by the imperial court at that time.

Even if the first batch of people came over, they were still waiting to see the excitement, thinking that the officials in Jili Prefecture would run out of money if they couldn't hold on for long, and they didn't know that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had a lot of money.

After inquiring clearly, a boatload of food and daily necessities from Henan Province was delivered, and they realized that things were a little wrong.

At this time, the second group of more than 10,000 soldiers also brought their families over, and when they were trying to find a way to stop them, they figured out the identity of the new officials in Jili Prefecture.

The legendary story of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan was also heard by them, and they felt that it was a big trouble for a while, and they thought that the capital was sending people over, but now it seems that it is definitely not like this, and they must feel that many places do not pay rent and taxes, and they want to muddy the water.

Zhang Xiaobao had to recruit 30,000 soldiers in the early stage, and there was a gap of less than 10,000 people, and the news also spread, so that there were more deserters under others, leaving the army and secretly coming to Jili Prefecture with their families and things.

People who felt they still had a chance also started to move.

Those who had soldiers under him were not allowed to do so, so they had to look at their soldiers strictly, and sent people to the state border to stop them.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also sent people to wait here at the state border, as long as someone comes, they can continue to go to the state capital with confidence, and all the people who want to intercept are stopped by them and are not allowed to pass.

The security personnel in the state were 500 officials sent from Sanshui County and Huayuan County, and the guards brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the state border in full armor and were given very much power, if they thought that the other party was a threat to them, they could attack in advance.

But the guards were not allowed to cross the state border to pick up people, so many people were stopped before they reached the state border, and they could see on both sides, but they could not go over for reinforcements.

Since this method does not work, then change the way, take the waterway, Zhang Xiaobao sent out a boat to bypass it, and began to collect people in other states near the sea.

Daxing City is in the east of Jili Prefecture, and it is not under the control of Jili Prefecture here, Zhang Xiaobao sent out more than 100 boats at a time, according to the calculation that each boat can fit 20 people, and once it goes back and forth, it can transport back 2,000 people, and it is enough to go a few more times.

In Daxing City, there is a family surnamed Li, now the popular surname is Li, Silla people, he shoulders a very important task here, one is to maintain Daxing City, the other is to try to keep the people in this area are Silla, he is also the lord of Daxing City, with 1,000 soldiers under his command, in addition to the regular army, there are also a lot of ships, used to maintain Daxing City, who made Daxing City very, very close to the sea.

There are also people in Daxing City who want to go to Jili Prefecture, and when they get there, not only do they not have to spend their own money to buy food, but they can also get the land, and the production in the land is earned by themselves, not to mention that there is a school over there.

After losing some of the people, Li Qingying, the city lord of Daxing City, also sent people to stop them, stopping them outside Jili Prefecture, and as for those who had passed, he wrote to Zhang Xiaobao and asked Zhang Xiaobao to put the people back.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't refuse immediately, and promised to come down, saying that once he found out, he would send the person back, and as for when he could find out, he would have to wait for Jili Prefecture to put the household registration system in order.

But this side agreed, and the boat on the other side passed by sea, Li Qingying put all his energy on land interception, and almost all the 1,500 people in his hands were sent out to pull out a sparse line of defense, so as not to prevent the people from running to Jili Prefecture.

At this moment, the boat came, and as soon as it was greeted outside the city, the people, who had regretted not going out earlier, crowded to the seashore and got on the boat and left happily.

By the time Li Qingying got the exact news, more than 4,000 people had disappeared.

"City lord, you have to defend the sea." Li Qingying's staff found Li Qingying and said.

Li Qingying has been worried recently, mainly because many people are willing to go around a big distance in order to be able to leave Daxing City, and 1,500 people can't prevent it at all.

The problem is that many people in their own villages can't send people to seal off all the villages.

At this time, when I heard the words of the staff, I felt that my head was buzzing, and I put my hand on my temples and asked the staff, "Do you want to send someone to the sea to intercept it again?" ”

"No, you can't stop it at this time, and Zhang Xiaobao from Jili Prefecture won't put the people in the past back, so I can only think of a way to make them dare not accept the people from my Daxing City, otherwise there will be no one in Daxing City, and now the people from the surrounding places are still gathering here, so they want to go to Jili Prefecture."

The staff knew that it was useless to just stop it, and it couldn't stop it for a while, not to mention that it wouldn't take a lifetime, and it wouldn't take too long, and Daxing City would be no different from an empty city.

Li Qingying didn't want to have a good way to get Zhang Xiaobao to send people back obediently, pondered for a while, and said, "Should we send troops?" ”

"Sending troops? You can get out, but you can't use the name of Daxingcheng, you can use the name of the water thieves who robbed at sea, as long as you sink the ship sent by Jili Prefecture next time, and arrest their people, and then use this to blackmail Zhang Xiaobao. ”

The staff was smarter and came up with such an idea.

Li Qingying really couldn't think of anything better, gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and said: "I'm going to let people pretend to be water thieves, do you really think that the officials sent from the capital will be powerful when they come here?" Push me into a hurry, I kill just as much. ”

Li Qingying had a plan, and soon the 1,500 people sent out withdrew to 300, one boat for every five people, without any markings on their bodies, and weapons with them, and went out to sea in 60 small boats, ready to intercept the ships sent by Jili Prefecture, and wanted to catch them all.

As soon as he moved here, the person sent by Zhang Xiaobao, who was staring with a telescope at sea, knew what was going on, and hurriedly avoided the other party's field of vision and sent the news to Jili Prefecture.

"I'm worried that there is no place to test the artillery, so he actually sent me a gift, okay, it's really good, come on, send a letter to Li Qingying, the city lord of Daxing City, and ask him if the sea route is still stable recently, and the official wants to send more ships to transport goods."

After Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he was very happy, and asked people to send a letter to Li Qingying quickly, and the ship here did not move for the time being.

Soon, Li Qingying replied, saying that during this period of time, there were occasional pirates on the sea, and Daxingcheng was trying to find a way to encircle and suppress it, but it didn't have much effect, and I hope Zhang Xiaobao will be more careful here.

Zhang Xiaobao was waiting for this letter, as long as Li Qingying admitted that there were pirates, and when the time came, he would help Daxingcheng eliminate the pirates.

The ships carrying people left the makeshift dock again and headed towards Daxing City, and more than a hundred small boats pulled out a small procession.

Seeing that it was about to reach the boundary of Daxing City, the sixty boats sent by Daxingcheng finally made a move, and without waiting for more than a hundred small boats to get closer, they rushed over as fast as they could, wanting to leave all the more than 100 boats behind, after all, there were only two rowers on each boat, and they were not soldiers, so they should be easy to deal with.

When a hundred small boats saw the boat rushing towards them, they turned and ran back, not continuing at all.

This chase and escape, the people of Daxingcheng struggled, and shouted while chasing, "We are pirates, as long as we have money, don't die, stop quickly, if we don't stop, catch up and kill." ”
