The brothers and soldiers of the Qian family did not feel good when they looked at these beggars, many of them were children of poor families, and they also became soldiers because they couldn't eat, and these children more or less had their shadows back then. Qian Da touched Dou'er's head and said: "Don't be afraid, Master Li is a good official, he said to give you food, you won't be hungry, remember to go to the county government in the afternoon." After speaking, he followed Li Yi.

The officers and soldiers behind him took out their dry food and distributed it to the children, and the children all gathered around, chattering and grabbing food, and only then could they see that they were still a group of children.

Li Yi was no longer in the mood to see Mengjin County, and went directly to the gate of the county office, what he didn't expect was that the county government was actually a broken house.

The county government is in the middle of the only street in Mengjin City, it is an independent building, and there is no support on all sides, standing there alone.

One of the stone lions at the door fell to the ground, and it is estimated that after a long time, moss has grown on the side next to the ground. The other was only half of the base left, and the stone ball in the lion's mouth was gone, as if it was opening its mouth to complain about what was happening in front of him.

The wooden door of the county government is complete, but it is not on the door frame, and it is leaning against the wall. The black skin on the walls has fallen off, and there are mottled loess everywhere, just like on a Dalmatian.

The only thing that let Li Yi know that he was not wrong was that the county government plaque on the door was still hanging there, and one side was also crooked and could fall down at any time.

Li Fu came over and said, "Master, how does this county government work, why don't we go back." He didn't expect this to be like this, he thought that Li Yi could be regarded as a self-reliant door, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he had malicious intentions towards Yang Guang, where is this promotion, this is not much different from exile.

Li Yi turned around and said solemnly: "I'm here to take office, I'm here to let the people eat, look at those children just now, how can I go back, even if I starve to death, I have to stay here." After speaking, he strode into the yali. The people behind followed suit.

Li Fu shook his head, he knew Li Yi's temper, he looked gentle and elegant, and he had a kind temperament, but he had the same sense of justice and persistence as Li Xiang in his bones, so he reluctantly followed in.

The situation inside shocked these people even more. The huge county government does not have a complete house, and even half of the roof of the lobby is exposed.

Li Yi has adapted to this place, and at worst, that's it, he called Qian Da and asked him to find out if there are any officials here. Qian Da searched around the county office for a long time, and finally found an old man in a dilapidated house at the back door. Hearing that a new county order had come, the old man followed Qian Da to see Li Yi.

At the first glance of the old man, Li Yi knew that there must be no one else in the county office. The old man looked to be in his seventies, but he walked steadily.

When the old man saw Li Yi, he knelt on the ground and said, "See your lord." ”

"Get up, what's your name?"

"People call me Zhang Laohan, and adults can call me Lao Zhang." Lao Zhang stood up and looked at Li Yi.

"Zhang Laohan, you tell the official why this county government is so dilapidated, and what about the other officials? Why is it only you? ”

"My lord, you better go quickly, you will lose your life if you stay here." Lao opened his mouth and stunned a few people.

"Be clear." Li Yi also paused for a moment, frowned and asked.

"My lord, the original county orders here have been killed by bandits, and you don't see that there are almost no people in the city? They all ran away with the bandits, and if they stay here, they will starve to death, so they might as well be bandits. ”

"Isn't there an official army to suppress the bandits?" Li Yi found that things here were ridiculous. No one has relief for floods and plagues, bandits are rampant and there are no officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, and the people would rather be bandits than farm at home, is this still the world of the Great Sui Dynasty?

"Hey, sir, where are there still officials and soldiers in the city, either they went to a big place, or they followed the bandits up the mountain. The whole city was left with only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”

"What about the other officials in the county office? Ran away with the bandits too? Li Yi is a little anxious, no matter how good the method is, someone has to do it, the people have run away, who will do the work?

"Those who have a way have gone to a better place to become officials, and those who have no way have also joined relatives and friends, and they are all gone, only I have no family and no ability to wait here to die." Zhang Laohan shook his head and said helplessly.

Li Yi was silent, and thought for a long time before saying, "Zhang Laohan, where is the most crowded place in this city?" How do you usually gather together? ”

Zhang Laohan opened his mouth and asked, "What are you going to do?" It's not going to bring the rest of the people together, is it? I'll say that many of the people here and the bandits in the mountains are family, and if they tell the bandits that you're coming, the bandits will probably come and kill you again. ”

Li Yi said loudly with angry eyes: "Can't you see what the entire county has become, and the bandits are also from here, don't they have a little conscience?" Isn't it heartbreaking to watch their homes become desolate day by day, and to watch the children here starve to death day by day? The official brought them together to tell them that I, Li Yi, are here, and I am going to build Mengjin well, and welcome them home when the time comes! Am I doing something wrong? ”

When everyone saw Li Yi like this for the first time, they suddenly felt in their hearts that there might really be a miracle with Li Yi.

Zhang Laohan nodded and said: "The adult is the most backbone county order I have ever seen, so the old man Zhang will accompany the adult, and I will go to gather the people." ”

After Li Yi finished speaking, he felt a lot better, nodded, asked Lao Zhang to go out, and said to everyone: "No matter what happens, you all came here with me, no one thought that it would be like this, let you suffer, it's not what I want, now we can only rely on ourselves, if you want to stay, follow me, if you want to leave, you can go back now, find my son, just say that I asked you to go back, he won't embarrass you." ”

Everyone looked at it, and Qian Da was the first to stand up and say: "The three of us are all soldiers of the volunteers, and Captain Li taught us from the beginning that where righteousness lies, the brave are invincible, there are only dead volunteers, there are no kneeling volunteers, since we are with adults, we will never go back!" ”

The officers and soldiers behind also shouted loudly, and Li Fu came over and said: "Master, I was wrong just now, the master will punish me, but please don't let me go back, I am not afraid of any danger, follow the master, Li Fu has no regrets." ”

Li Yi looked at these people from Longmen, and a lot of pride suddenly rose in his heart, and he said loudly: "Okay, since you have all decided, I, Li Yi, am also here to make things clear." No matter what happens here in the future, I, Li Yi, will advance and retreat together with you, and we will definitely make this place a vibrant new city again. ”

When they were talking, the beggars at the gate of the yamen followed, and after eating the cakes, the children did not leave, and Dou'er led the children to the door, and began to help clean up, pick up wood, sweep the floor, and do whatever they could.

Li Yi and a few people came out to take a look, and their hearts were even warmer, these children knew how to be grateful, and he felt that with such people, Mengjin would definitely be rebuilt. ”

Li Yi arrived in the dilapidated study, sat on the edge of the wooden couch and began to think about what to do next. Although the goal is set, it is indeed difficult to achieve it, and there must be an effective method.

He found a pen and paper and began to write on them. After a stick of incense, put down the pen and look at what was written, and the head began to grow. It's all problems, basically as difficult as Li Yi to rebuild a city on a vacant land, and now there is no one, no food, and the key is the threat of bandits.

Li Yi thought about it for a long time, the top priority was three things, first to find someone to help him work, the county government can't just have a county order for himself, in the current situation, it is estimated that he can only use the people he brought over.

The following is the food problem, as long as this problem is solved, the people will know that Mengjin can still live, and there will be people who will keep coming back.

In the end, the bandit Li Yi was not too afraid, since he stayed with Wuduan for a few days, he felt that the bandits were forced to do those things, and no one had to run away to be a bandit. As long as Meng Jin can keep the people alive, the bandits will also go down the mountain.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yi decided to write a letter to Li Xiang and ask him to help get food first. A long letter was written in one go, and then Qian Da was asked to send someone back to Longmen quickly, and Qian Da asked Qian San to ride a horse to deliver a letter to Li Xiang.

In the afternoon, Li Yi called everyone together again and arranged everyone's work. Li Fu was literate, and he turned out to be a housekeeper, so Li Yi asked him to temporarily take the position of county magistrate, and Qian Da was the county lieutenant, responsible for public security and everything that needed to be defended. Qian Er temporarily acted as the head of the government service, and divided the remaining soldiers into two teams, Qian Da Qian Er and one team.

After arranging things, Li Yi led everyone to the square that Zhang Laohan said.

The streets were still deserted, except for a few little beggars popping up from time to time. Li Yi smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "I really didn't expect to come to be a county magistrate, it is such a big city, but now there is no problem where I want to live, there are many houses." ”

Li Fu also smiled in the back: "Master, if I hadn't followed you, I would never have thought of being an official in my life, this is like a bachelor marrying a daughter-in-law, the first time." ”

Everyone was joking in bitter amusement, and they arrived at the so-called square.

The square is just a market in Mengjin, now there is nothing here, most of the houses are gone, they are poured, burned and burned, only the ruins are left, as soon as Li Yi arrived, Zhang Laohan came over and said: "People are coming soon, adults better be careful, I think there will be bandits here with eyes and ears." ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "I just want to talk to them today!" ”
