"This is the case of the five wealthy families in Dangyang County suing Dangyang Chang, please take a look at the Ming Mansion. "The subordinate presented a copy www.biquge.info of the form to Nanjun Taishou Wu Jianglong, who took it and opened it and browsed it, and asked, "Who sent the form?" ”

"Chu Yuan, the sister-in-law of the Chu family."

Wu Jianglong put the situation aside and said casually: "This official knows." "Wu Jianglong also came up step by step from the county, and he fought with those local clans, and the dispute between the officials and the people in Dangyang County has just begun. The subordinate went out of the house to convey Taishou's words to Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan stuffed a gold cake to the little official to show his gratitude. Chu Yuan has been informed by his father that the higher the official position of these officials, the more slippery they are, especially those who have a few ups and downs like Wu Jianglong are even more shrewd, and he will not send people down if he doesn't sue the officials a few times. Don't expect too much action the first time.

Wang An had just come to the county office, and before his buttocks were hot, Kong Xun came to report: "The five wealthy families led by the Chu family have sued the master. ”

Wang An picked up the file and looked at it: "How many bandits turned themselves in today?" You are now the Fa Cao Peng of the Yang. ”

Kong Xun shook his head: "There are no bandits who have surrendered before. Especially after I heard that the master was sued by the Chu family and others to the Taishou Mansion, there would be no bandits who accepted Zhao'an. ”

"Is that so?" Wang An thought for a while, "It's because I didn't think it through, most of the bandits are in remote places, considering that it will take time for their families to report to them when they get the news and make up their minds to accept Zhao'an, you change the period of Zhao'an from ten days to one month." ”

"Master, don't you go to the book to defend yourself?" Kong Xun was in a hurry.

"Defend yourself for what?" Wang An looked at the file in his hand, "Wu Jiang Taishou is not a cool official, and he will not send someone down to check on me because of these people's complaints, I, the head of the Yang Dynasty, have not made any mistakes in handling things so far, and Taishou has no excuse to make things difficult for me." There is no money in the account books of Dangyang County, and the money I spent is not from the Taishou Mansion of Nanjun County and Dangyang County, but I borrowed it from the Kong family, the Li family and the Yin family. Everyone knows that the relationship between Wu Jiang Taishou and my family is not harmonious, if the Ming Mansion easily sends someone down to check on me, a junior, how can he mix in Shilin? Don't worry, the Ming Mansion will write to reprimand me at most. ”

"What if there is no letter to reprimand the master?"

"Then wait for the Chu family to sue again," Wang An replied indifferently, and then moved on to the next topic, "This official will set up a county school, and your Confucian family has a wide network of connections, can you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”

Hearing Wang An claim to be his own official, Kong Xun knew that he was going to talk about official business, and replied in a businesslike tone: "Isn't Mr. Yang coming to Xinye, why don't you ask Mr. Yang to be the head of the mountain?" ”

"Mr. Young is not good at words and is not fit to resign." Yangxiong stutters, and it's okay to write articles, but if you become a mountain chief, you will be a misguide.

"My wife is from the Feng family, why don't you ask my wife." Kong Xun gave Wang An an idea.

This is a good idea, the Feng family is only affected by the case of the Empress Dowager Feng, but the family is big, and there must be a lot of talents in the Feng family. Although after the death of the Empress Dowager Feng, the people of the Feng family have no intention of pursuing a career, but it should still be possible to consider becoming a county school mountain chief.

Wang An, Shi Duan, and Wei Xuan stood at the gate of the barracks, sending off the first 100 soldiers to be divided into ten teams to go to the countryside for training under the leadership of the team leader, and at the same time spread the news of Wang An's recruitment of bandits. The scene of farewell was very grand, the red flag was displayed, and the gongs and drums were noisy, attracting a large number of villagers to come to watch, and Kong Xun took the opportunity to put the goods of the Kong family out for sale.

A bazaar had begun to form near the barracks, after all, grain could be brought in from other places, but vegetables and meat still had to be procured locally, and although at first the local merchants refused to sell to artisans and soldiers, no one would be unable to get along with the money, and watch the money fall into the hands of others and get nothing. At first, the butcher sold the pork to the barracks, and then the villagers picked chickens, ducks and geese to sell to the barracks, and then the Confucian family brought a lot of goods from other places and sold them to the villagers at a lower price. Those soldiers bought things for cash, which won the favor of the villagers, and no one dared to make trouble near the barracks, so they could do business with peace of mind. There used to be blind rangers who fought here, but dozens of people rushed out of the barracks, caught the troublemakers and handed them over to the county government, and were assigned by the county to serve in the Dangyang River construction site for ten days, and no one came here to make trouble after that.

Shi Duan looked at the distant figure of the soldiers and asked, "County Zun, is it too early to let these soldiers go out to practice now?" ”

Wang An looked at the soldiers and said: "The people who signed up to join the army are all poor people from various families, and the reason why they are allowed to go out to train is to hope that his parents and brothers can feel at ease after seeing it, and their sons or brothers are well fed and warmly clothed in the barracks, and they are not beaten." Besides, I advanced a month's worth of money for them to take home. In the future, when we recruit two more soldiers, we will be able to save a lot of time. ”

Wei Xuan listened to Wang An's answer and asked, "Those robbers who recruit An, doesn't the county lord plan to let them join the army?" ”

"The bandits of Zhao'an, even if they were forced to die in the mountains and wilderness by life before, their hands will not be too clean after falling into the grass, if they are allowed to hold weapons in their hands, the people will not rest assured, you will not rest assured, and I will not rest assured. Therefore, I plan to let them participate in the improvement of the Dangyang River first, win the goodwill of the villagers, and benefit their future lives. I hope that those who have the heart to change their ways can seize this opportunity and perform well, and when the time is ripe, the official will apply for the establishment of a box army. ”

"Xiang Jun? What is Xiang Jun? Stan asked. Because there is no such establishment in the establishment of the Han army.

Wang An thought for a while and replied: "We can hand over the tasks that require a lot of manpower, such as opening roads in the mountains, building bridges when encountering water, digging ditches, and controlling the Yellow River, so that there is no need to levy a large number of farmers, and we will not delay the agricultural time and miss the agricultural work." ”

Shi Duan then asked: "Could it be that the Xiang army does not fight?" ”

Wang An shook his head: "The Xiang army still has to fight, but the main thing is to engage in construction, and the war is still handed over to the border army, such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Liangqiang, and the Xiang army is probably going to deal with bandits from all over the country, after all, the opponents are different, and the strength is also different." Let the Xiang army deal with the Huns, it is purely to send it to death. ”

After Wang An finished speaking, he looked around and said: "It's too early to say this, I'm just a Dangyang chief, with only two hundred soldiers, and I can't deal with the Dangyang bandits." As time passed, Wang An also knew that there were three bandits near Dangyang, with a total of about 1,000 people, and the largest group of bandits numbered six or seven hundred. Wang An's target was the most powerful bandit, and he suspected that this was the bandit that the Chu family had colluded with.
