Shi Qing followed behind Zhao Jun's convoy, his face was iron-blue, and he was determined to pay attention, no matter what Zhao Jun said, he would not agree.

Li Xun still had a bitter face, he was a little puzzled now, it is said that Zhao Jun wanted to subdue Shi Qing, even if he had a high status, he didn't have to humiliate Shi Qing so much, isn't this the stiffer and harder?

Faintly, Li Xun felt a little bad and seemed to have fallen into a trap.

Soon, the convoy approached the east gate of Jimo City.

It's just that the following scene made Shi Qing and Li Xun's eyes widen at the same time.

I saw that on both sides of the avenue outside the city gate, it was already crowded with nearly 1,000 people, led by more than a dozen officials such as the county official Xu Qi and Gong Cao Lu Xu, and the celebrities in the city on both sides of the road, namely the Mo Wang family and the Han County Zhen family, almost the entire famous and wealthy gentry family of Dongjiao County arrived.

Of course, the mainstream is still the big people on both sides of the avenue, as well as the mayors and pavilion chiefs who are highly respected, including a lot of businessmen.

It can be said that these people include almost all strata of the entire Dongjiao County.

"What's going on? Did they know that I was angry and came to vent for me? Shi Qing said to Li Xun beside him very shamelessly.

Li Xun glanced at the thousands of people across Zhao Jun's carriage, and was also shocked in his heart, intuitively, he felt that this matter was by no means simple, and it was not what Shi Qing thought, although Shi Qing was not a faint official, but the popularity of people in Dongjiao County was definitely not so high.

"I don't know." Li Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Shi Qing smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and it was obvious that he understood the meaning of Li Xun's words.

However, before he could continue to speculate, nearly a thousand people suddenly burst into cheers.

"Welcome to the Marquis of Shenwu!"

"Welcome to the Marquis of Shenwu!"

The shouts of joy reverberated inside and outside the city gates, and amid the enthusiastic shouts of nearly a thousand people, the iron guards lagged behind, and the carriage drove to the front.

Subsequently, wearing a fluffy cloak, the tall and majestic Zhao Jun lifted the curtain out of the carriage, stood on the wheel, and faced the enthusiastic people, Zhao Jun said loudly with a smile: "How can the army let everyone go out of the city to greet him, I am terrified, here, the army will give everyone a salute and show a little heart." ”

After speaking, Zhao Jun bowed and bowed with a sincere attitude.

Nearly 1,000 people were shocked and moved, and they returned the salute one after another, and at the same time loudly said no.

"Hou Ye has always attached importance to agricultural and commercial affairs since he came to Linzi, and he has made great compensation for Dongjiao, although we are in Dongjiao, but who has not received your favor, and he should go out of the city to greet him."

In recent years, Zhao Jun has attached great importance to the development of agriculture, commerce and people's livelihood, and even the surrounding counties have also received a lot of benefits, which has led to the development of people's livelihood.

The business managed by Mrs. Qing under her subordinates, as well as the baggage camp managed by Lu Pheasant and others, have done a lot of charity to the surrounding counties, and they have done a lot to repair bridges and roads, and revitalize the famine, and Zhao Jun's reputation is not only in Linzi, but almost all over the entire Qi land.

"That's it, Master Hou, you are our great benefactor, there have been wars since last year, if it weren't for you, our home would have been destroyed."

"Yes, Master Hou, you have a high status, we really can't accept this gift."

The Gong Cao and the county officials led by him all took the lead in returning the courtesy.

Zhao Jun smiled secretly satisfied at this situation, with Le Rui leading the Mo family to agitate, and with the promotion of Mrs. Qing's business, coupled with Mu Ning's plan to listen to the wind, it is expected that this effect can be achieved.

In the end, Zhao Jun smiled again: "Hehe, as a magistrate, I should take care of the place and give the people a safe and healthy life, these are all things that are within my responsibility, and I should not be praised by everyone."

I am here today to deal with the rebellion in various places, and I think everyone knows the situation in the world, and it can be said that our counties are completely surrounded by bandits, and the situation is worrying.

Although Linzi has a high combat power, it has been lost one after another, and we now only have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

As soon as they heard Zhao Jun's words, nearly a thousand people's faces changed, they had always belonged to the rear before, because there was Zhao Jun's big shield in front of them, they could live with confidence, but once Linzi was uncertain, they were bound to be devastated by war.

Over the years, under the care of Zhao Jun, the people of Dongjiao have gradually lived a better life, although it is far from being compared with the prosperous era, but it is also too peaceful and healthy, and no one wants to be involved in the war.

Without waiting for everyone to speak out in horror, Zhao Jun continued: "Everyone, please rest assured, Ben Hou will not care about everyone's life and death, even if he dies, Ben Hou will definitely die in front of everyone." ”

"Okay, what Master Hou said is good!"

Some people among the people shouted movingly, and more people high-fived themselves with their fists, very excited, "Master Hou said, if there is anything we can help, we will never give up." Zhao Jun pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and then said: "Ben Hou came this time to discuss countermeasures with everyone, to carry the bandits, everyone must work together to defeat them."

The manpower and material resources of Linzi County alone are not enough to resist the bandits, so I want our Dongjiao, Linzi and Langya to unite and gather everyone's strength, hoard materials, expand soldiers and horses, and jointly defend our homeland.

When our power is great, we will be able to defeat all those bandits, and only by beating them away, subduing, and killing them can we live a good life and defend our homeland, you say, isn't that reasonable? ”

"Yes, what Master Hou said is right, we all listen to you."

"That's it, Master Hou, what you say, we'll do it."

"There are still three strong men in my family, and I will ask him to join the army tomorrow, and I will definitely help Hou Ye defeat the people who destroyed our homeland."

"I don't have a man in my family except me, but I have money and food, which I can donate to Master Hou."

The people were excited when they heard this, they were very active when it came to donating money to the army, and the benefits of joining the army were high, even if they donated money and food to a certain extent, they could also record meritorious service, which was a preferential treatment that the Qin army did not have in the imperial court, and besides, this was still to defend themselves.

"Thank you for your support, now that the Langya County Shou has joined forces with Linzi, I just want to talk to the County Shoushi in person and ask his opinion."

After that, Zhao Jun signaled Hu Hai to push Shi Qing, who was already in the front, and the eyes of the people were fixed on Shi Qing.

"Ahem, what Hou Ye said is very right, don't worry, I will fully support Hou Ye."

Shi Qing is stupid, and he will not raise the bar with Zhao Jun at this time, the nearly 1,000 people in front of him are here on behalf of the people of Dongjiao County, that is, the public opinion, if he really refuses, I am afraid that without Zhao Jun's action, the people in front of him will tear him apart on the spot, and Zhao Jun will not have to bear any responsibility at all.

The most important thing is that Shi Qing saw many officials in the county guards, as well as several deputy generals in the guards, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.

For a while, Shi Qing's heart was cold, he didn't expect this to happen, he was completely isolated.

"Hehe, Master Shi understands the righteousness and admires it very much, since this is the case, let's discuss some military and political cooperation." Zhao Jun looked at Shi Qing with a smile on his face.

"Eh" Shi Qing was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhao Jun to chase after him, and finally when he shook his head, he suddenly found that Li Xun next to him made a gesture to him.

When Shi Qing saw it, he immediately understood the meaning, and said to Zhao Jun with a reluctant smile: "Master Hou, it's windy outside, and it's not early, let the officials arrange the accommodation of the Hou Ye, and pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Hou Ye at night, and then talk about specific matters?" ”

Zhao Jun stared at Shi Qing with a smile after hearing this, and only when Shi Qing was furious in his heart did he say, "Okay, it's really not in a hurry." ”

At that moment, Zhao Jun waved goodbye to the people and asked them to wait for the good news, and then under Shi Qing's guidance, he made a carriage to the city.

The accommodation arranged by Shi Qing for Zhao Jun was in an empty courtyard next to the county guard's mansion, and all the items were very complete, and even the subordinates were quickly in place.

After that, Shi Qing returned to the county guard's mansion, and Zhao Jun rested at the collapse place.

In the room, Zhao Jun said to Kui Che: "Sir, with today's situation, you can confidently persuade Shi Qing. ”

Kui Che's expression was solemn, and he said: "Don't hide it from Hou Ye, according to Shi Qing's performance today, his resistance to Hou Ye was beyond my expectations, and this person seems to be strong and ignores the overall situation, only remembering personal grudges, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome, I'll try my best at the banquet later." ”

"Yes." Zhao Jun nodded, what Kui Che said was right, as the saying goes, the hard ones are afraid of the leng, Shi Qing belongs to the kind of bastard who is stunned, completely ignoring the overall situation, only knowing the hard top, and not giving people a chance to speak at all.
