"Lord Wei, it seems that we miscalculated this time, I originally thought that there was a scholar who was powerless, but I didn't expect that it was such a strong person, not to mention those Mongolians, just those men who followed him, all of them looked very strong, and they all had a bad breath on their bodies, and they all looked like they had killed people, seen blood, and didn't know where he found them, it seems that there will be such a person above us in the future, and many of our things will not be easy to do." As soon as he walked into Wei Changqing's house, Pan Wuxing said with some sadness.

Hearing Pan Wuxing's words, Wei Changqing felt a burst of disdain in his heart, "I want to eat mutton but I'm also afraid of causing a commotion", but he still kept a calm face and said, "Hmph, Master Pan doesn't need to worry, although this Lord Shi doesn't look like an ordinary person, but that's just the surface, as the saying goes, 'a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake on the ground', on the one acre and three points of land in this Yulin, without our consent, I don't believe he can do things." ”

"Oh, it seems that Lord Wei already has a plan, tell me, what can you do to deal with him, if there is a need for me, Lord Wei can just open his mouth." Pan Wuxing suddenly said in surprise.

It's no wonder that Pan Wuxing will be anxious to get rid of Shi Lei, unlike other officials, according to the rules of the early Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers of the guard are hereditary systems, and the soldiers are successive generations, and the supply depends on Tuntian, which means that your Lao Tzu is a soldier, then your son is born a soldier, your Lao Tzu is an officer, and your son is also born an officer, of course, if you make a contribution, you can still be promoted, but this is basically impossible in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

However, from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, most of the tuntian land of the guard was swallowed up by the officials of the guard, and over time, more than ninety percent of the soldiers became tenants of the guards officials, that is, free labor.

This is why in the late Ming Dynasty, there will be military attachés to gather the family to fight, and the combat effectiveness of these family members is very amazing, like Wu Sangui with dozens of family members can rush into the Manchu army of hundreds of people to rescue his father, and also killed dozens of Manchu soldiers, you must know that when the Qing army and the Ming army are in the field, the Qing army of hundreds of people can kill and disperse the Ming army of tens of thousands.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing magical, those soldiers say that they are soldiers, in fact, they are no different from farmers, except for farming, there is nothing else at all, and the family is different, they are the generals all day long to eat and drink the supplier, most of the time can be trained, so it highlights the combat effectiveness of the family.

Pan Wuxing is such a general, because his grandfather and his father are both Wei commanders in Yulin Town, so after his father died, he naturally became Wei Commander, if it was during the Chengping period or living in the mainland, Pan Wuxing's Wei commander must have been good.

Although Yulin Town is not a big town, there are still more than 5,000 soldiers in the garrison, and there are a total of more than 100,000 acres of tuntian land, of course, there are certainly no more than 5,000 soldiers in Yulin Town now, at most less than 3,000 soldiers, said to be soldiers, just like farmers.

There are people and land, but unfortunately, Pan Wuxing is not doing well, why, he is short of money.

Yulin is a border place, Pan Wuxing seems to harvest a lot from more than 100,000 acres of land every year, but in such a place, those harvests are not enough at all, why, because he wants to keep his current position and his family, he must ensure that Yulin is not lost, and how to ensure that Yulin is not lost, then there must be a strong force, so, don't look at Pan Wuxing is just a five-grade guard commander, but he has a family of two hundred people.

You must know that the treatment of these families is the best, the best horses, the best weapons, and they eat big fish and meat, so as to ensure that Yulin is not lost, and the expenses of these two hundred families are enough to give Pan Wuxing a headache, plus the more than 2,000 soldiers in the guard, although he doesn't need to feed him, but after all, those are his subordinates, and they also need a sum of silver every year, so down, Pan Wuxing has long been unable to bear it, a few years ago, the world is at least calm on the surface, and he can barely support it, But now that Li Chuang's army has entered Shaanxi, I don't know when it will arrive in Yulin, if he is not ready, no one knows what awaits him.

But at this critical moment, Shi Lei came, as soon as Shi Lei came, it would be impossible for him and Wei Changqing to be so unscrupulous in their smuggling business, and without the income from this business, what would he use to raise soldiers, so Pan Wuxing really wanted to solve Shi Lei's ** annoyance as soon as possible.

Hearing the eagerness in Pan Wuxing's words, Wei Changqing sneered and said, "Master Pan, don't be impatient, this time we don't need to make a move at all, we just need to sit on the high platform and watch the show well, just see what tricks we, the county lord, can toss, didn't he say, those homeless people outside the city are handed over to him to deal with, then let's see how he handles, if you want to relieve those homeless people, you need food, and what is the situation in the warehouse, Lord Pan should know very clearly, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, When the time comes, we will look at our county lords, if we explain to those displaced people. ”

Wei Changqing's words made Pan Wuxing suddenly sober up, and he patted his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think that the new official took office with three fires, let's see how the first fire of this new county lord burns, even if he burns, I will see how he extinguishes it." ”

"Lao Jia, you will start to register all the homeless people outside the city tomorrow, and when the registration is completed, it will be handed over to me, and for those craftsmen who have craftsmanship, no matter what carpentry, earthwork, or anything else, as long as they have a skill, they must pay attention to it, and they must make a special book.

Brother Fang, when you take time tomorrow, take your brothers who know how to defend the city, and show me the entire city wall of Yulin City, where it needs to be repaired, where it needs to be strengthened, even those intact places, you have to show me if you can make it taller and thicker, remember to take a serious look.

Second Brother Monkey, you go to the county government's grain depot to check, and then bring the money jar for a trip, I have something to tell you. ”

One by one, after Shi Lei and everyone entered the county office, they came out of Shi Lei's mouth, and the people who heard the orders also bowed down to take the order, and for a while, the entire county hall except for a few old brothers who were sent by Fang Junchi to protect Shi Lei closely, there was only one red map left.

Since Chitu was captured in Yanmen Pass, he was sent to Shi Lei's side by Gru, who was bent on excluding dissidents, at the beginning, he was still very disdainful, thinking that if he hadn't fallen for Gru and Shi Lei, he wouldn't have become a prisoner at all, but his pride finally disappeared completely after being taught by Fang Junchi and others in turn.

Although the Mongols are brutal and rude, they worship heroes very much, respect the strong, and when they see those who defeat him easily, they actually respect Shi Lei very much, and Chitu is not disrespectful to Shi Lei.

"Chitu, do you think that if a person is well fed and clothed, will he still desperately want to rebel?" Looking at Chitu standing beside him, Shi Lei asked.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, Chitu was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before he said, "Probably not, you must know that if people can really eat every day, it is estimated that no one will think about rebellion, after all, rebellion is to kill, if it is not necessary, they will not want to die." ”

"Yes, it's such a simple truth, even you as a Mongolian know it, but those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court don't know, no, or they know this, but under the influence of selfish desires and luck, they don't want to believe this, which has caused today's situation, it's really ironic and sad!" Shi Lei said with a sigh.

Not long after Shi Lei's sigh, two figures walked in briskly from the outside, it was the thin Monkey Er and the brother-in-law of Yanmen Guan Feng Laohu's money jar.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hall of the county office, Monkey Er put a bag of things on the desk a little angrily, and said, "Those people are really bastards, my lord, I went to the grain depot just now to take a look, it was really shocking, the entire grain depot did not even have a grain of grain, and even the rats were dying of hunger." ”

Hearing Monkey Er's words, although Shi Lei already knew in his heart that it would be like this, he didn't expect Wei Changqing and those people to do it so simply, you know, now that the autumn grain has just been harvested, it stands to reason that the grain depot should be full of grain, but now there is not a grain of grain in the grain depot of the county government, and things are done so absolutely, thinking of this, Shi Lei's heart is even more angry with Wei Changqing and others.

"So, did the people who guard the warehouse say where all this grain went, and it can't just disappear for no reason!" Shi Lei asked.

"My lord, according to those who guard the warehouse, because most of Yulin has suffered a disaster today, the grain in many places has not been harvested, but the county government still needs to open a warehouse to release grain, and the grain collected is not enough to be handed over to the imperial court, how can there be grain in the warehouse, in order to prove this, they also brought me the account books." Monkey Er replied simply.

With a sneer, Shi Lei looked at the account books, but after reading for a long time, Shi Lei couldn't understand what was written on them, and finally he could only put him aside helplessly, and turned his head to look at the money jar standing on the side.

Collect, collect, collect
