The snow was falling heavily, and in a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Perhaps Peng Hu saw that after Jia Nian entered Yuzhang County, he quickly controlled the entire group of twenty counties except for Yuhan County, so he was afraid so he didn't dare to act rashly.

During this time, Yuzhang counties and county soldiers attacked everywhere, making the originally chaotic Yuzhang County present a scene of political communication and harmony, which is obviously not easy in this troubled era.

A man in Fei Fuzhong put the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk and gradually fell into deep thought.

"Childe, why did the head of the family hand over the private soldiers in the mansion so easily a month ago?"

"Because I had to pay it"

The man said to the family standing beside him.

The family fell into deep thought, and then scratched his head.

"But why do I feel that what I do is too guardful to unload the mill and kill the donkey is a little unauthentic?"

"What if it's not authentic? My Yuzhang County has suffered from bandits and Shanyue disasters over the years, and the people's livelihood in the county has withered, so I have no choice but to spend a lot of money to recruit private soldiers. Now that Taishou wants it, it is not impossible to take it, and you must know that it is not acceptable to raise private soldiers."

"That's right, the wealth of supporting private soldiers can buy a lot of good land, but it's still a little unwilling to give it up in vain."

Jia Ding said with a frown.

Then he seemed to think of something, and sighed at the man.

"Speaking of which, our strength is not as strong as those families in Wu County, otherwise we would not dare to act so nonsense."

"Caution"

The voice sounded in his ears, and Jia Ding couldn't help but shudder.

Hurriedly closed his mouth honestly and didn't make a sound.

"Today's world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, since the Taishou is appointed by the imperial court, and he has a heavy army, I should obey it."

"And since this month, Taishou has ordered the soldiers and horses stationed in various counties to sweep away the bandits everywhere, so that the chaos of decades has been cleared, isn't it enough to prove Taishou's eloquence?"

The man tapped his fingers lightly on the bamboo slips on the desk.

Yuzhang County is completely different from other counties in the south of the Yangtze River, it suffers from Shanyue and bandits, and the strength of the Hao clan is very weak.

Whether it is the common people or the wealthy family, they are obviously happy to see a strong Taishou.

Bang bang bang

There was a knock on the door ahead.

The servant glanced at the man, then turned and walked towards the gate.

The door opened, and a soldier in armor appeared in front of him.

"Which one is the son of Fei Fu, Fei Heng"

"In the next exactly"

"On the order of the Lu military division, recruit Fei Gongzi as Yuzhang Gong Cao Shuzuo, and ask Fei Gongzi to go to Gong Cao Mansion tomorrow to report"

"No"

Fei Heng replied to the soldier.

The soldier bowed, turned and walked in one direction.

Looking at the distant back, it was obvious that the direction he was going was where the other three mansions were located.

"Gong Cao Shuzuo?"

Jia Ding pouted, very dissatisfied with this position.

The little Shuzuo wants to conquer the son, and it seems that this Jia Taishou is not an ordinary stinger.

Gong Cao's personnel power in charge of a county seems to be prominent, but Gongzi went to Gong Cao's Mansion to just be a small scholar, which is really a humiliation.

"If the son is an official in the Gongcao Mansion, it is almost the same, and the position on the left side of this book sounds good, but it is just an errand," Jia Ding complained to Fei Heng.

Fei Heng frowned, and thought quickly: "Not really, maybe it is too guarded to have a deep meaning."

"Meaning?" The family couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

seriously thought about the changes in Yuzhang County during this time.

Since Taishou collected the private soldiers in the house, he has been non-stop to recruit the four family heads for prominent positions such as Duyou and Gongcao.

The four wealthy families also took this opportunity to go to the Taishou Mansion to serve one after another.

"As the commander of Yuzhang County, Lu Junshi is in charge of the affairs of the county, and now he is granted the right to conquer the subordinates of the government by Taishou. My four people surnamed Hao have served one after another, and I don't know what this military advisor means? ”

"Isn't it kindness? or compensation for the confiscation of private soldiers in the prefecture"

"Not really"

"Why?"

"If it is really goodwill, why is it that the twenty-one counties of the whole county, except for Yu Khan, who is occupied by Shanyue, are all the henchmen of Taishou?"

Hearing this, Jiading's lips moved, and he didn't reply.

Gongzi is right, those positions seem to be prominent, but the counties and county orders below are all descendants of the Taishou, and there are county Chenglu military divisions above, what substantive rights do you have to be an official in this Taishou Mansion? .

It's just a caged bird, and it's just good-looking.

"In that case, why did Childe agree to conquer?"

"After the private soldiers in the house were collected, Taishou quickly reorganized the whole county, and he could only obey orders in order to protect himself. And it is not without benefit to go to the Taishou Mansion to serve, at least follow the Taishou to settle down in this troubled world."

"But ......"

"Don't say much, I'll go to Gongcao Mansion tomorrow to report"

Fei Heng said in a firm tone.

Since Peng Hu was expelled and Taishou collected all the private soldiers of the Hao clan outside the city, the general trend in Yuzhang County has been doomed.

In addition, the troops were stationed in the twenty counties in the county, and the henchmen of the people who followed the Taishou to the south were selected and appointed as county commanders, county commanders, and county lieutenants.

The foundation is solid.

This is also the reason why Peng Hu and Zhang Jie, who were stationed in Yu Khan, did not send troops to attack for a long time.

As for the private soldiers.

Thinking of this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Fei Heng's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Taishou carried the momentum of great victory, and forcibly persecuted under the city with 7,000 soldiers and horses, coupled with the righteousness in his hand. As a last resort, I can only give in temporarily, and do what is the expedient measure.

However, he still underestimated the methods of this Taishou.

Immediately dispersed the private soldiers, and stationed 20 counties with 3,000 first-order soldiers and horses under his command.

He also ordered the extermination of bandits in various counties, which greatly increased the morale of the people.

Now Yu Zhang thinks that even if the Hao clan gathers private soldiers stationed in various places, it will be useless.

In his heart, he silently calculated the strength of the Taishou, and he could only leave those who were unwilling to completely leave behind, and if he wanted to live and live a good life, he could only obey.

There are 4,000 soldiers in the 1st rank county, stationed in 20 counties.

The 2nd Rank Reserve Army of 3,000 was stationed on the wasteland of the main roads of the counties.

There are 3,000 regular troops of the 3rd order, stationed outside the county capital, and they look at the Shanyue soldiers and horses in the remaining sweat.

The large number of troops is enough to deter many people with bad intentions.

A doubt gradually spreads, is it really too much to maintain a large army? .

Especially the military expenditure of the 3rd Tier Regular Army, that is even more astronomical.

Even if the Jia family in Lujiang Wan County was the richest family in Yangzhou in the past, the Jia family suffered great changes after all, and the financial resources of a family could not support more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

As for Chaohu Lake and Anhui County, the foundation of Taishou, it is even more dilapidated.

Perhaps letting the children of the Hao family serve in the Taishou Mansion is also out of financial considerations.

Fei Heng was startled, and a cold sweat appeared behind him.

The acres of land in the world are fixed, and the output is also fixed.

If Taishou wants to make money, then there is only one way to go.

Ominous emotions permeated the surroundings, and Fei Heng couldn't help but sweat profusely.
