"Ma Zhuangshi, our adults are here."

"Grass people and horses occupy the mountain, meet the adults." A small middle-aged man wearing a dogskin hat stepped forward.

Although this small middle-aged man is short, his body is very strong, although he is wearing a thick cotton jacket at this time, he still moves quickly, and he still calmly deals with it when he sees He Tianci fighting like this, and he doesn't look like a bandit leader at all.

"Ma Zhanshan" He Tianci muttered secretly in his heart, this Ma Zhanshan is indeed a short and concise little man in his impression, but this anti-Japanese hero Ma Zhanshan is also a bandit? Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he is indeed quite temperamental, if this is really Ma Zhanshan, this is a tiger general.

Although he was yearning for this in his heart, he was not ambiguous in his hand, and stepped forward to help Ma Zhanshan up: "Hurry up, please get up." ”

Ma Zhanshan was born into a peasant family in present-day Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province. Poor peasant, born in the army, worked as a mill worker in his early years, and was good at riding and shooting. He grew up herding horses for landlords, but for losing a horse, he was arrested and taken to the government, beaten and imprisoned, and forced to pay compensation. Later, the horse ran back, but the landlord still did not return the money. Ma Zhanshan was angry, went up the mountain and fell into the grass, because he was good at riding and shooting, and was righteous and angry, and was soon pushed to be the leader.

"The grass people heard that the adults love the people like children, and personally led three hundred brothers to Taonan to take refuge in the adults, and I hope that the adults will not dislike the vulgar background of the grass people, please accept them." Ma Zhanshan bowed his head.

"What is there to dislike and not dislike, the Northeast has been chaotic all these years, we know, the brothers are forced to be helpless when they go up the mountain to be beards, don't hide the horse and the strong man, and many of the soldiers under his command are beards and bandits!"

As soon as he heard this, the stupid roe deer hurriedly took over the words, why did Tianci speak: "Ma Zhuangshi, I won't hide it from you." I used to work in the insurance team, and we are still all the way, and we are all forced by life! ”

When He Tianci heard this, he waved his hand slightly, and said, "That's right, so Ma Zhuangshi's brother is also my brother." However, there is one point, that is, since you have joined the new army, there are many rules, and I am afraid that your subordinates will not be able to stand the constraints at that time. ”

"I think Ma Zhuangshi may have heard about Taonan's side too! Even if my brother makes a mistake and harms the people, he will still be punished by military law! He Tianci specially said this.

Ma Zhanshan can stand out among so many beards, and his ability is not ordinary, although He Tianci deliberately emphasized military discipline, but since he agreed to take in his brother. Everything is easy to say, and the hanging heart is relaxed.

Ma Zhanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, my lord, if any dog cub violates military discipline, the grass people will clean him up with their own hands." ”

"Well, that's good." He Tianci bowed slightly: "Ma Zhuangshi is from the Zhelimu League?" ”

"Exactly."

"This Jelimu League is now occupied by Baiyin Dalai and Yashi, can Ma Zhuangshi know something?" He Tianci asked.

Ma Dianshan nodded, his eyes flashed, and said: "I have heard of it, do you want to ask the grass people if they know the whereabouts of Baiyin Dalai and Yashi?" ”

Ma Zhanshan is not simple. He Tianci nodded slightly, motioning for Ma Zhanshan to continue.

Ma Zhanshan groaned. Then he said: "The news of the great defeat of Taoke Taohu in Taonan has already reached the Zhelimu League, and compared to the strength, even the Yashi bandit gang and Baiyin Dajiao together are not as numerous as Taoke Taohu. ”

So after hearing the news, Baiyin Da Lai united with the Yashi bandits, and there were only more than 300 people under the grass people, and some of them were old and young. So I haven't dared to get too close, there are still more than three hundred miles away from the Jerimu League, but if it is an adult's need. The grass people can also let people get the specific nests and action routes of Baiyin Dalai and Tao Ketao. ”

"But it can take a little longer, from a month to half a year." Speaking of this, Ma Zhanshan seemed a little hesitant. After all, he is not completely sure about this matter.

"It's okay, I've been waiting for almost half a year, and it's not bad to wait a few more months. There are more than 300 people under Ma Zhuangshi, I will allow you to form the third battalion of the third standard, and temporarily appoint you with a deputy management belt, and if you can make a contribution, I will correct you. He Tianci promised: "As for the old and young under your command, they can also move to Taonan Mansion City and settle down." I will put people in charge of building houses and distributing fields. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhanshan was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee and said, "Subordinate Lord Xie!" I am willing to die for the adults! ”

After Ma Zhanshan received He Tianci's promise, he led his troops to leave, anxiously preparing to move the old and young women and children over first.

"My lord, there is a sentence that my subordinates don't know whether to say or not." After Ma Zhanshan left, Gan Zhiming came to He Tianci and said.

He Tianci said: "My own people, is there anything that Brother Haotian can't say to me?" ”

"The city of Taonan is in ruins, and it is up to the adults to help these ordinary people rebuild it, and most of the former borderlands are also distributed. It's enough to do this, if I'm not mistaken, the adult has already spent 100,000 taels of silver in Taonan, does the adult want to stay in Taonan? Gan Zhiming looked at He Tianci's face carefully.

"The people of Taonan Mansion have completely changed their opinion of us now, right?" He Tianci raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth.

He Tianci doesn't care about this bit of silver, as for Taonan, he doesn't want to stay permanently, after all, this place is remote, and the direction of his future development must be Fengtian, the central provincial city in the northeast, but at the moment he doesn't even have a piece of land, and he has no chance to develop, so this Taonan is his base.

Gan Zhiming nodded and said: "Yes, but after calming down the Baiyin Dajiao, the adults may be transferred to other places to suppress the bandits, and then they will make wedding dresses for others!" ”

"Do you want to raise bandits......?" Speaking of this, Gan Zhiming suddenly realized that what he said was a little too much, and hurriedly looked at He Tianci's face cautiously.

"Yes, there are no bandits, let's get some out ourselves, bandits like Ma Zhuangshi, there are everywhere on this grassland?" He Tianci smiled slightly, and said to Gan Zhiming: "Brother Haotian, don't worry so much in the future, there are no outsiders here, you can say whatever you want." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, He Tian couldn't help but admire this Gan Zhiming, in fact, this Gan Zhiming was pretending not to know in front of him, this Gan Zhiming was smart, but sometimes he was too smart, thinking about a lot of things in front of him, which made He Tianci feel faceless, this Gan Zhiming had seen through his thoughts!

"My lord is so calculating, it seems that my subordinates are too worried." Gan Zhiming complimented.

Gan Zhiming also understood in his heart that with the relationship between He Tianci and Xu Shichang, this Taonan must be his world, and through getting along these days, he can also see that He Tianci's ambition is not in the small area of Taonan.

The most important thing is that He Tianci also trusts him, and the entire livelihood of Taonan is handled by himself, although it is a little hard, but this is also to meet his career ambitions for many years.

"By the way, my lord, it just so happens that there are no officials in charge of political affairs in Taonan now, and the people below can't afford not to pay taxes, how about we use taxes to make up for the deficit of adults?" As soon as Gan Zhiming joined He Tianci's disciples, He Tianci gave him a heavy responsibility, and he was also bent on proving his ability, so he also helped He Tianci a lot during this time.

"It's okay, you can do it." He Tianci frowned: "But this Taonan has not been at peace in the past few years, and these people don't have much income, so this tax rate should be as low as possible!" ”

"As for this official in charge of government affairs, isn't this ready-made right now? Huchen will report to Governor Xu, how about Brother Haotian being wronged and being the prefect of Taonan? ”

Gan Zhiming hurriedly complimented: "Thank you, for your support!" ”

It feels so good to be a leader, no wonder everyone wants to be an official, just move their mouths, the others are all done by the people below, although this Taonan Mansion is located at the junction of Mongolia and Han, and it is sparsely populated, but after all, it is still in charge of Taonan, Jing'an, and Tongyu counties, and the workload of this Taonan prefect is not small.

As for the training of recruits, it is all handed over to these soldiers who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school and were born, and it is not the first time that Zhang Xiaozhun, Su Houde and others have done it.

With the return of the herdsmen, and He Tianci will be some borderless land, distributed to the Han people who came to the east of the Guandong, Taonan also regained its former vitality, although this Taonan is barren, but it is rich in horses, after occupying Taonan City, the eleventh town also captured more than 5,000 Mongolian war horses, this Mongolian war horse has good endurance, and it is also quite valuable in the market, after this matter was heard by Yu Wendou, but he had to exchange more than 1,000 batches of war horses from He Tianci's side, of course, in return is Yu Wendou's "Fengju Chang" grain store to provide food for the first town, This Taonan has just settled down, and it does need a lot of food, which just complements each other.

Yu Wendou, a businessman, is good at discovering business opportunities, this spring is just a good season for farming, especially this year, He Tianci's wounded soldier farms, and the farmers who have been reclaimed are a lot more than in previous years, so Yu Wendou started the work of "two dealers", buying farming tools in Fengtian and selling them to farmers who reclaim wasteland, so this process is indispensable for transportation, which requires a large number of transportation tools from Taonan to Zhengjiatun and Zhengjiatun to Fengtian, so this Mongolian horse with strong endurance has become the first choice.

Li Enyi, who is also a businessman, also seized business opportunities and started a second-way dealer, but the direction of Yu Wendou is just the opposite, Yu Wendou is selling farm tools to the grassland, and Li Enyi is selling fur wool to Fengtian. (To be continued......)
