Yuan's is the county governance, the county and township are rich and strong, looking far away, there are many granges in the wilderness.

These granges have big shoes and small ones cover an area of more than 10 acres, the big ones cover an area of several hundred acres, and the high walls are built outside the village, there are watchtowers on the wall, from the road to the distance, you can see the houses and pavilions in the village, the guests are attached to the village in and out of the gate in and out of several larger granges, respectively, there are dozens or more than 100 people each holding weapons, bows and shields stand on the flat ground, and practice tactics under the leadership and command of the team leader

For the residents in the grange, this may be a good thing, the more soldiers and soldiers of each wealthy family, the safer the people in the village, but for Wen Chou, this is not necessarily a good thing, he is the lieutenant of Changshan country, "in charge of martial arts", the duty is to defend Changshan country, if there are too many local hao clan armies, it will inevitably form a situation of "separation", the hao clan is indigenous, and there are soldiers under him, it is likely that he will not take his lieutenant too seriously Once this is the case, it will damage his authority in the country

Wen Chou slowed down his horse, called Tian Chou closer, and asked, "Have you made a list of what I asked you to list?" ”

When Wen Chou re-entered Changshan Kingdom, he noticed the problem of the powerful landlords having too many private armies, so he ordered Tian Chou to send people to each county to secretly investigate the specific situation of the powerful forces in each county, and asked Tian Chou to make a list for him after finding out

Tian Chou, as Wen Chou's right and left hand, was very attentive to this task, and replied: "The three counties of Yuanshi, Shiyi, and Luancheng have been listed, and the people who went to Zhending and Jiumen have not yet returned" Although Wen Chou controls Changshan Country, but the control of the right surname of the wealthy family in the country is still very weak, and now the enemy of the Black Mountain Thief is no longer a concern, so Wen Chou has to rectify the problem of the surname of the county Hao.

Yuanshi is in the middle of Changshan country, Shiyi and other counties are in the north of Yuan, of which Shiyi is the closest to Yuan, thirty or forty miles, followed by Luancheng. Zhending Jiumen two counties are the farthest away from Yuanshi, and Zhending is the farthest in the northeast of Changshan country, bordering Julu County, Changshan country is located in the northwest of the state in the whole Jizhou, south is Zhao country, east is Julu, Zhongshan, north is Youzhou. To the west is the Department of Thorn History, which is connected with the two counties of Taiyuan Shangdang in Bingzhou

Wen Chou bowed his head and said, "When they come back, you hurry up and list the list and show it to me."

"No"

Speaking of secretly investigating the powerful landlord armaments in Zhuxian County, Wen Chou couldn't help but think of another thing, turned to Yuan Hao, and asked: "Yuan Hao, can you find out the situation of the thieves of the remaining Yellow Turbans hiding in the mountains and rivers in the west of the county?" ”

"The mountains in the west of the county are full of forests. According to the thieves, a few days ago, I asked the Yuan clan to be brave, and selected those who are brave and agile and can climb mountains and forests and are familiar with the situation in the west of the county, a total of fourteen people have been sent to the west of the county, and four or five people have returned one after another in the past few days."

"How's it going?"

"I haven't found out thoroughly, but I have only figured out one that is probably known now: there are at least five or six bandits in the mountains west of the county. There are the remnants of the yellow scarf, and there are also robbers. The largest group has about more than 10,000 people, and the rest are either more than three or four people, or one or two thousand, or hundreds."

Wen Chouxin said: "I remember that the Montenegrin army was known as one million when it started, although this is an imaginary number, it must be exaggerated. But there should always be two or three hundred thousand people, and the remaining Yellow Turban thieves who are now hiding in the territory of Changshan Country are only thirty or forty thousand together? "This is because of Wen Chou's series of developments in Changshan, which has greatly squeezed the development space of the Black Mountain thieves, plus he has exterminated several bandits, so there are so few Black Mountain thieves in Changshan now.

The scope of activities of the Montenegrin Army was mainly in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Zhongshan, Zhaoguo, Hanoi and other places along the Taihang Mountains. Changshan country is one of the more important places.

He walked slowly, when he looked at the wild grange, when he looked at the west of the county and said that he was out of the city to play today, on the surface, he was calm and relaxed, but in fact he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but how could he really relax? The Yuan clan is in front of him, and the short half-day leisure is coming to an end, and he will soon continue to devote himself to the many military affairs

It has only been more than ten days since he took office, and there are several military affairs that need to be dealt with urgently: the private armed remnants of the powerful landlords in the western mountains of the county, the remnants of the Black Mountain, and the control of the soldiers of the Kou thief county

But then again, although he wants to establish a higher prestige as soon as possible, but knowing himself and knowing the enemy, can not be defeated, he has just arrived, not very familiar with the terrain, and has not yet figured out the details of the bandits in the western black mountain, but also knows that this is not the time to send troops, otherwise it will be defeated in a hurry, so although he is anxious, he has to force himself to press and wait for the opportunity

When they arrived outside the Yuan city, twilight was approaching, and the city gate was when there were many people, and their group were wearing swords, riding horses, Yan Liang Zhao Yun and others were wearing armor, Tian Feng and carrying a seal ribbon, and the county people knew at first sight that this must be a noble travel, and they made way for them

There were a few chariots that entered the city before and after them, and the people in the carts were either the children of the Yuan clan or the officials of the kingdom, and when they heard the chaotic sound of the people giving way, they lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw Wen Chou and others, some of them had seen Wen Chou and knew him at the banquet where the Minister of State Feng Gong or other officials of the kingdom welcomed Wen Chou, and knew him, and some had not seen him, and did not know him and knew him, so they could not help but stop the chariot or urge the coachman to speed up and catch up, say hello to him, and say a few words

After the chaos, it was not only the ordinary people who lost peace, but also the nobles and the powerful

Wen Chou, heroic and daring to fight, many masters, even Dong Zhuo was defeated by him, with him, on the premise of not harming personal interests, the officials and people in the county are very welcome to him, Wen Chou can be self-denying and treat others, humble and polite to others.

Now after the war, the county is no longer the previous grand occasion, there are many fewer pedestrians, cars and horses, but the Yuan family is the county rule, there are many nobles and strong, there are many officials, there are still a lot of people and cars on the street leading horses and horses in the flow of people, whenever someone greets him, he stops for a while, smiles and talks a few words Xun Yu Tianfeng walked behind him, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Liu Qing, Wen Ba, and so on and then the lieutenant's mansion is in the west of the city, they came in from the east gate of the city, and walked west along the east and west streets

The layout of Yuanshi City is very neat, from the east city gate to the west city gate, from the south city gate to the north city gate, there is a wide street, forming a cross, intersecting in the center of the city, these two streets are the main roads in the city, outside the two main roads, on both sides of the north and south streets, there are several branch roads respectively, the whole county is divided into more than a dozen areas of equal scale, some of these areas are official offices, such as the palace of the prime minister's mansion, the lieutenant's mansion, the county temple, etc., some are cities, some are handicraft areas, most of them are the county residents live

On both sides of the main road and side road, tall trees are planted, and there are some liquor shops and other shops (to be continued). )
