Chapter 72: Poverty

October 16th of the eighth year of Xiaozhen! ”

In Jingbian Fort, the military function is the first, and after the bandits were eliminated before, several team leaders were also promoted in each team, just to fill the gap after Gao Shiyin and others left. However, Xie Yike has not participated in any battles, although he is his brother-in-law, but Wang Dou will not promote him because of this, breaking the rules of Jingbian Fort.

Han Chao nodded, and he looked at Xie Yike with admiration. said: "I've tried him, his fists and feet are good, his ability to be a team leader is still there, I think others are also smart, he is a good material to do not collect at night, why don't you transfer him to my team." ”

Wang Dou nodded slowly and said, "Okay, let you discipline him well!" ”

At the moment, he is short of people, Xie Yike has the ability, it is a pity to let him run errands by his side all day, and it is better to let him be put on the Korean team. Han Chao is quiet, and he can rest assured that he is in charge of Xie Yike and Wang Dou.

Everyone has two horses and two horses, and the feet are fast. Not long after walking on the road, Shunxiang Fort appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Shunxiang Fort is at the foot of Busan, the west of Gumei Yuguan Avenue, according to legend, the city first originated from the Yellow Emperor era, there are the ruins of Hanpan County in the west, and Shunxiang Fort in the east is this time. At present, the circumference of the fort is more than 1,200 meters, the wall is 11 meters high, not counting the height of the female wall tower, the outer wall is covered with blue bricks, as the security guard left the thousand households to govern, this city is very strong.

When Wang Dou and the others arrived in front of the south gate of Shunxiang Fort, the avenue was already full of officials from the fort who came to greet them.

Thousands of households in the fort, several officers, officials of all sizes, etc., all stood in the cold wind to greet them at this time. At the front of the crowd, there was the golden talisman of Shunxiang Fort, looking a little dejected, and standing beside him was Zhenfu Chi Dacheng.

As for why Lin Daofu is still in Shunxiang Fort, this is an accident, originally Lin Daofu has been the third child in Shunxiang Fort for many years. After being hopeless as a defensive officer, suddenly good news came, and he was expected to be transferred to the state city to serve, and the thousand-year-old iron tree bloomed, and Lin Daofu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of happiness, bad news came, and his position in the state city seemed to have been passed through the back door by others, and there was no hope for him to be transferred into the state city.

With Lin Daofu as the one, everyone stepped forward to greet them.

Lin Daofu stepped forward and saluted: "My lord has worked hard from afar, and the officials are waiting."

He bowed to Wang Dou twice, and Wang Dou bowed slightly.

Looking at Wang Dou, Lin Daofu's heart was very unpleasant, once upon a time, Wang Dou had to pay him an official salute, but he didn't expect that not long after, he would have to salute Wang Dou, this is really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Looking at Wang Dou's young and high-spirited face, Lin Daofu felt even more uncomfortable, once upon a time, the position of this defensive officer was originally his own, and he was about to get it when he saw it, but he lost it again. Think about it, I am forty-six years old this year, and I am about to be fifty years old, and I have been working as a deputy for so many years, so I have no chance of becoming a regular?

Looking at the nearly half hundred officers in front of him this year, wearing the official uniform of the deputy thousand households, saluting him, Wang Dou also had some sympathy, perhaps because he had suffered a double blow. Lin Daofu's original tall and burly figure had already bent a little, the smell of wind and frost on his face was stronger, his sideburns were even whiter, and his originally sharp eyes had dimmed a lot.

However, sympathy is sympathy, of course Wang Dou will not send his official to him, so he has to sympathize mentally.

After Lin Daofu stepped forward to salute, then calmed down Chi Dacheng stepped forward to meet Wang Dou and bowed to Wang Dou three times. There was no expression on his face, but the etiquette was impossible to fault in the slightest.

Then Lin Daofu introduced everyone in the fort to Wang Dou, several officials and officials.

The six officers of the management team are all with the rank of 100 households, among which Xu Lu is of course an old acquaintance, he just stepped forward to meet with a smile on his face, Wang Dou said a few words to him cordially, Xu Lu felt that Wang Dou attached great importance to himself, and he was overjoyed. There is light before the great touch.

There is another one, the team officer named Sun Sanjie, who also left a deep impression on Wang Dou. However, there is one thing that Jingbian Fort does not have in Shunxiang Fort, that is, it is neat and lively.

Although the military households in Jingbian Fort are also generally poor, everyone is full of vitality, and there is an aura of hope for the future life in their eyes, everyone has their own life goals, and all parts of the fort are clean and tidy, and living in it is enough to make people feel happy.

On the other hand, the streets of Shunxiang Fort are dilapidated and dirty, the houses are low and dilapidated, there is garbage everywhere, and children in unclothed clothes run around. The adults, both men and women, were ragged and numb, as if they had been completely crushed by poverty and had lost all faith in life.

Looking at these military households, Wang Dou felt heavy, he used to come to Shunxiang Fort, but he just hurried by as a passerby, and he didn't take many things to heart. Now that he has become the defender of Shunxiang Fort, these people have become soldiers and civilians under his rule, can he change their lives and gather their hearts into use?

The people rode their horses, but they went inward.

The thousand-household official hall is located on the east side of the East Street, and several main streets are paved with bluestone slabs, but they are in disrepair and full of potholes.

Along the way, some alleys appeared on both sides of the street from time to time, and when they saw Wang Dou's ironclad army coming, many soldiers and civilians stood next to them in surprise and fear, just looking at Wang Dou and others. Some merchants also pushed the door out one after another, looking at this different army on the street.

Seeing their awe-inspiring eyes, Han Zhong, Xie Yike and the others were all triumphant, and they would be the masters of the castle in the future. A sergeant of Jingbian Fort is also proud, from Jingbian Fort to Shunxiang Fort, it is a big place, everyone on the horse waist bones straight, iron hooves just rumbling past, leaving behind a piece of amazement.

Lin Dao Fu rode beside Wang Dou, pointing out the buildings in the fort for Wang Dou from time to time, and Wang Dou couldn't help nodding.

Soon, everyone came to the front of the Qianhu official hall on East Street.
