When Guangling Township bravely returned to his hometown to visit relatives, the people hiding in the county town also returned to the villages outside the city.

Before the end of the month, in order to deal with the Tartars, Wang Teng came up with a way to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness.

The effect is obvious, the Tartars have no supplies, so they can only attack the city in a hurry, which gives Wang Teng an opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise, if the Jurchen soldiers and horses fight steadily, how can a mere Dinghe Fort achieve the result of beheading nearly a hundred?

However, the court only knew about the victory of Ulzhou and Dinghebao, but they did not know how much the people of Ulzhou paid for it.

Sixty-three wells were blocked, 937 houses were destroyed, and Ulju suffered heavy losses.

These days, the people of Guangling are repairing their houses and dredging wells.

The Tartar invasion affected not only the people on the outskirts of the city, but also the people in the city who ran out of money due to the rising grain crops, and many villagers were looking for a way to support their families, except for a few large families.

At this time, an exciting news came: Wang Teng, the new Guangling defense officer, needed to recruit five hundred soldiers!

As long as you enlist in the army, each person can get nine buckets of rice and one tael of silver for settling-in allowance!

Silver and millet are all things that the villagers are in dire need.

However, one day, the outside of Dinghe Fort was crowded with young men who wanted to join the army.

Fortunately, Wang Teng has already prepared, and the selection equipment has already been prepared, as long as the young and strong meet the conditions, they can run for the election, otherwise they may not know what the anxious people will do.

The vigorous selection of soldiers was in full swing, Wang Teng watched outside for a while and then turned back to the mansion, selected soldiers, Huang Degong alone can do things, rather than wasting time outside, it is better to think about how to earn some silver.

months. Wang Teng handled nearly 10,000 taels of silver, however, all the silver was spent, and now the treasury is empty, and if he doesn't think of some way, the soldiers' money will not be paid.

How?

Or sit on the ground and make money. or cut off the mountain and cut off the road to do business without capital.

Just when Wang Teng was a little hesitant, Yi Ying of Guangling County sent someone to tell Wang Teng that the new magistrate had arrived.

According to his official position, Wang Teng's rank is higher than that of the county magistrate of Qipin, but the Ming Dynasty is noble and lowly, and it is obviously impossible to expect the dignity of a county to come to visit Wang Teng.

If Wang Teng is an informed and interested person, he should go to Guangling to meet the new official at this time, so as not to end up with an arrogant name.

"Go and see this county master. Maybe the matter of the silver two will fall on him! ”

Thinking of this, Wang Teng changed into his official robe and took ten followers to Guangling.

Half an hour later, Guangling City was in sight.

Wang Teng slowed down his horse, and it didn't take long for him to come to the city gate.

The defenders at the gate of the city knew Wang Teng, and they did not dare to slack off, so they quickly got out of the way.

It is still the familiar county office, but the difference is that the door has been replaced with four big arms and round doors. Looking at their fierce and vicious appearances, they should not be Guangling locals.

Wang Teng bowed his hand slightly. "With a sigh of exhaustion, King Guangling asked to see him."

Menzi glanced at Wang Teng angrily, Xu was about to open his mouth to scold because he didn't receive benefits, but after skimming Wang Teng's six-grade official robe, he changed his tone suddenly, "Wait a minute, my lord."

Wang Teng was noncommittal.

It didn't take long. Menzi went and returned, "My lord, please inside."

Wang Teng still didn't say a word, and although the new county magistrate had not met, he left a very bad impression on him.

When Jiannu knocked. This county order can obviously be in office, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he has dragged it out until now.

What kind of ethics can a selfish person with no sense of responsibility have?

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a man dressed in a seven-grade official robe sitting on the top, this person had narrow eyes, thick eyebrows, and prominent cheekbones.

Before Wang Teng could speak, the man above had already greeted him with a smile, "This is the world-famous Wang Qianzong, I am fortunate to be lucky!" ”

Wang Teng smiled slightly, "Guangling Defender Wang Teng has seen an adult."

The county commander stood up, "Mr. Wang Qian, sit down quickly, this official has just arrived, and he will rely on you a lot in the future."

The crowd did not dare to say anything.

The county commander said: "Mr. Wang Qian, this official heard that you have made outstanding achievements in battle, and nearly 100 soldiers have been killed in battle, and with you to guard it, Guangling can sit back and relax."

It's not clear whether it's a friend or an enemy, Wang Teng doesn't dare to brag nonsense, "My lord has won the award, Guangling can have today, it's all the credit of everyone here, if it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts, Jiannu would have already broken Guangling."

Yi Ying and the others were quite happy, everyone carried the sedan chair, Wang Teng was so informed and interesting, no one dared to dismantle his platform, and for a while, the sound of mutual praise was endless.

The new county commander Fei Qing was obviously used to seeing such battles, so he was unmoved, but said calmly: "This official heard that many wells in Guangling were repaired by Lord Wang, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Teng bowed slightly, "This is indeed the case."

"Recently, there has been less rain, and the official wants to accumulate merit for the people and dig a few wells, I wonder what Lord Wang thinks?"

"It is a blessing for the country that adults are dedicated to the people"

Fei Qing narrowed his eyes, "It costs a lot of money to dig a well, but it's a pity that there is not much money in the treasury, I don't know if Lord Wang has a way?" ”

Wang Teng's heart was awe-inspiring, "My lord, forgive me, Wang is a rough person, it's really unimaginable."

Fei Qing seemed to smile, "I heard that Fan Yongdou once donated 1,000 taels of silver for Guangling Water Conservancy, I don't know where this silver is?" ”

Wang Teng's heart jumped, and the other party was waiting here, "The silver donated by the Fan family has been used up, but Master Wei left an account before he left office, and I will have someone send it later."

Fei Qing was noncommittal, and did not mean to refuse at all.

At this time, even Yi Ying heard that the new county magistrate was only afraid that he would not deal with Wang Teng, otherwise how could there be any reason to check the accounts just after taking office?

The silver was left by Wei Yuan when he was in office, and it had nothing to do with Fei Qing, and now he suddenly proposed that he either wanted to get a piece of the pie or wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

This county order is not simple, and everyone glanced at each other secretly.

Fei Qingruo in the hall was unconscious, but painstakingly explained: "It's not that the official is stingy, there is really not much money in the treasury, and the spring is about to begin, if you can't prepare properly, I'm afraid that you will miss the agricultural time."

Fei Qing said this, although there is some truth, but everyone in the hall is an old man in the officialdom, why don't they understand the Tao?

The silver is gone, as long as the county order is spoken, everyone will always find a way together, but Fei Qing has a posture against Wei Yuan, this is a fight between immortals, who dares to make peace with Guangling officials?

Moreover, there is Wang Teng here, only a fool will rush to make a statement.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and the new county commander is so strong as soon as he takes office, is it something to rely on or is it stupid and bold?
