This time, I still only brought Dashan alone, I think he is a talent that can be created, and he can be cultivated to become a loyal person, and the others are either well-developed and simple-minded, or they have a heart and cannot be reused, and it is urgent to cultivate a force loyal to me, otherwise, there will be no situation where it is difficult to speak alone.

Passing through the southeast side of Nanwang County, I passed by the Lao Communist Party again and asked him again to ask him to buy cattle and food, as long as it was to eat, and to sell it at the lowest price possible. The labor communist agreed, but said not to have much hope, the fishermen are poor, there is not much surplus food, that is, the whole village does not have a single cow, and the ploughing cattle are the best working animals.

He stayed at the house of Lao Gong for one night, and the next day he hurried again, and first arrived at Lao Shengkun's house, where his eldest son, Lao Pi, had returned, with two slaves, both of whom were sturdy warriors, armed with weapons, ready to fight at any time.

There was also news that Lao brought back that there were many refugees in Donghai County near the border of Musu County, all of them yellow and thin, saying that they had suffered a major flood from Wusu County and had fled to ask for food to make a living.

The news came so quickly, I felt that I had moved fast enough, but it was still too late, there must have been a lot of refugees who had brought money, and when the time came to enter Donghai County, the price of food would definitely be raised, and if I started to buy food later, I was afraid that the price of food would have increased dozens of times by that time.

That night, I agreed to ask Lao Shengkun and Lao Pi to go around to buy food, the more the better, and I still asked Lao Liang to lead the way into Hailing County, and when I arrived in Hailing County, I still acted separately from Lao Ling, I went to see the county lieutenant Lao Jun, and Lao Liang and the mountains went around and looked around.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Lao Jun's complexion has changed greatly, the last time he was depressed in his chest, deeply worried, this time, it is obvious that the depression seems to have dissolved, the worry has been reduced I don't know how much, and I can look at people with joy. The reception was also favored, and I had just reached the middle of the courtyard, and Lao Jun had already begun to call his maids to serve me tea and pour tea.

"Fire Spirit Captain, don't come unharmed." Lao Jun seemed to be speaking to himself, and I listened to that tone of voice.

"Don't come unharmed." I am both an answer and a rhetorical question.

Lao Jun was stunned, suddenly realized, and said: "I don't know what the result is, things are not so simple, and it is not yet time to close the coffin, but things are going in my favor." ”

"Oh, there was a reaction so quickly." I asked.

"The day before yesterday, the county Sima personally brought people to Hailing County, and made a big move, first burned the Lao family's compound to the ground, and then went to the Lao family's shop and restaurant to smash it, and the anger was still rising, injuring and killing several civilians who were onlookers, but he didn't trouble me, and the county order didn't look for me more, but just told me not to appear, and I didn't show up until today after the county Sima left." Lao Jun said proudly.

"Congratulations to the county lieutenant Lao for surviving the catastrophe, the county lieutenant Lao is very capable." I complimented, and even those who were cold to him liked to hear compliments.

"Thanks to the captain's box of gold coins, if it weren't for the captain's box of gold coins, given to Mrs. Taishou, I'm afraid that I will be immortal and crippled this time, thank you for your kindness, if the captain has any instructions in the future, I will do my best to do it." Lao Jun thought that it was very likely that Jun Sima would treat him bencily, but after seeing Jun Sima's cruelty and fire the day before yesterday, it was really wise to use my gold coins to eliminate the disaster.

This time Lao Jun's enthusiastic attitude was really unexpected to me, I thought he would treat me coldly, and even avoided it is very likely, however, Lao Jun has changed his personal appearance, and he respects me well, and I am very grateful.

I was a little proud, and I couldn't help but say: "Lord County Lieutenant doesn't need to say such polite words, you and I will be brothers and good friends in the future, what is a few gold coins, compared to the friendship between us, it is not worth mentioning at all." ”

"Yes, you will be my brother in the future, a brother who is also a brother." Lao Jun was a little forgetful, and seemed to be very happy to be able to stay out of the matter this time, which made him feel hearty.

"I don't know how old Brother Lao is this year, I'm twenty-two this year." I said.

"Then I'm a round older than you, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve four years now, and I've been a county lieutenant for four years." Lao Jun said excitedly.

"I'll have to call my brother." I laughed.

"You and I are on an equal footing, and our positions are very different, so I dare not be ashamed to be a brother." Lao Jun said ashamedly.

"You're wrong, older is older, how can you mess up the name." I insisted.

Lao Jun depends on me and no longer holds each other.

"If you see anything wrong recently, you might as well tell the little brother the details, the little brother is in the far east where the news is closed, the poverty is down, and it is really suffocating." I asked.

"Recently, I heard that many refugees from Musu County have fled from the border of Tokai County, and the number is unknown, but it is said that there are several thousand." Lao Jun also said blankly, not very sure.

I don't know how it could have been so fast, the flood should not have been as complete as the drought, it would have dried up all the crops, and if it had been transferred in time, it would have saved a lot of food, but now the consequences are the same, is there any hidden reason?

I couldn't help but wonder, "How could it be so fast." ”

"Yes, it's really strange, Wusu County should start preparing for disaster relief as soon as possible, now so many victims have entered Donghai County, I'm afraid the situation is not as bad as imagined, I once heard that the Taishou of Wusu County is extremely cruel, and the taxes and miscellaneous taxes are levied arbitrarily, but I am afraid that the civilians do not have much food, and they have no time to move to higher places, and they have suffered the most serious floods." Lao Jun also pondered and said.

"If you encounter the cruelty and tyranny of the mediocre lord, it is only the common people who suffer." I sighed.

"Yes, a talented man must meet a wise Lord, otherwise it will be in vain, full of ambition and talent, but there is nowhere to show it." Lao Jun agreed, his eyes were shining and touching.

"Not to mention those things that don't concern us, this time Brother Lao has taken the relationship with Mrs. Taishou, and Brother Lao is afraid that he will have a great future in the future." I want to ask Lao Jun how he got on the line of Mrs. Taishou, seeing that Mrs. Taishou has some weight, otherwise Jun Sima would not have given up.

"This is not the role of your box of gold coins, Brother Huoling, this time to be able to take the line between Mrs. Taishou and the eldest prince, it really makes me happy, on my way back, the eldest prince has promised me that he will promote me to the position of the county order, he said that he has long felt that the current county order is not suitable, and he has long intended to replace it, but there is no suitable person to replace him." Lao Jun said with a smile in his eyes, his stiff face looked much better.

"Where is the eldest prince now, and he actually has the right to mobilize the county order." I said in surprise, I'm not afraid that Donghai County will not fight for power and profit, but I'm afraid that Donghai County will have an iron bucket and have nowhere to start.

"Although the eldest prince has no position now, he is the heir cultivated by Taishou, therefore, the eldest prince has no actual position, but he can make the county and the lieutenant listen to his orders, plus the prince has an excellent reputation in Donghai County, corporal Lixian, humble and hospitable, many people are willing to follow him, if he really wants to promote me to be the county commander, this is not a difficult thing, the only obstacle is that the county commander is the county Sima's person, therefore, when the time comes, the county Sima will definitely oppose it, it depends on how he opposes it." Lao Jun actually saw it so clearly, it seems that he is not only a county lieutenant in charge of a county's arrest and judicial affairs, but a party leader with a long-term vision, am I looking at the wrong person.

"The county Sima is not the military governor in charge of a county, he can also interfere in the dispatch of officials in the local county." I was a little puzzled, I found that I still lacked knowledge of the composition of the world, and many of the relationships were not what I imagined.

"The county Sima is indeed the military governor of a county, but his power should not be underestimated, he is attached to the son of the second concubine of Taishou, that is, the second son, and the second son is still the cousin of the second prince in blood, so the relationship is not ordinary, and a group of people are on their side." Lao Jun didn't seem to understand it very early, and when he told me about it, he didn't have a city government at all, and he was completely sure that he was a wise man and friend who could discuss important matters, not like the wariness and suspicion when he came to visit him.

"Now Donghai County is divided into two factions, one faction supports the eldest prince to inherit the position of Taishou in the future, and the other faction stands on the side of the second prince to form its own circle." Lao Jun said very happily, as if he was a very honorable thing to be able to serve the eldest son.
