As the current prefect of Wanlin County, Jiang County Ling met with the Mei County Commander who came to Meixian County.

The guests and hosts sat down, and Jiang Xianling smiled awkwardly: "The county is poor, and there is only a cup of clear water to entertain Lord Wu." ”

Meixian County's surname is Wu, his name is Wu Luqi, and Jiang County's order feels that Wuxian's father is definitely a wonderful person.

After listening to Jiang County's words, Wu Luqi pouted, who doesn't know that you, Wanlin County, are now a big hit, and the grassroots in other places are about to be dug up, you still accept the victims here, give porridge for disaster relief, and cry poor with us who are dying of hunger?

Thinking about his purpose, he didn't have much to say now.

Wu Luqi solemnly took the glass of water with both hands, but took a sip like tasting rare wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sound in his mouth: "It seems that I haven't drunk such clear water for almost half a month." Lao Zhang, don't pretend, come out quickly. ”

Jiang County Ling saw that there was actually a familiar face among the people who were bowing their heads to drink water - Zhang Zuotang, the magistrate of Lindeng County, now it's okay, the three poorest county orders in Dachu have gathered.

Zhang Zuotang got straight to the point: "Old Jiang, I watched you sweep away the gloom of the past, and I knew that you would soar from now on, and your future would be limitless." But you can't be too selfish, and I hope to invite the master out, and Lao Wu and I are sincerely here to take refuge. ”

Yes!

Can you still play like this?

Jiang Xianling guessed that they might have heard about the matter on their side and came to persuade them to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and even quietly, they might go to the whistleblower to report. Unexpectedly, these two were going to join the same stream.

It turned out that Jiang Xianling came here later, and Wu Zhang and the others had been completely trapped in this poor place for many years.

Almost every year, the taxes are not collected, and at the most serious time, both of them have been hit by the board because of this.

Although Jiang County's order is also deeply mired in mud, he has been infiltrated into the six departments of the three provinces and has been a Beijing official for many years, and he has to take some silver money every year and has not been reprimanded and punished.

In these three counties, it can be said that those who have a little ability have already moved away, and the rest are barely surviving.

People are poor, and Wu and Zhang have become close friends as soon as they come and go.

Zhang Zuotang is an astronomy enthusiast, and he watches the sky at night when he has nothing to do.

Although he can't catch up with Yu Shui's talent, he is also rough, and he really shows him some ways to come and go.

Lin Xi listened to Zhang Zuotang in the back hall and talked about what he said, "The purple micro star is declining and the Tianfu star is shining, but the star tail is falling here", and what "the year star is retrograde, east and west, it indicates that the country will perish".

In a word, the Great Chu will be destroyed, and the new lord is here!

Looking at the current year, if this year's tax payment cannot be relied on grabbing, it can only be relied on thinking. In previous years, I was beaten for a little less, but this year there is no harvest, and I must not be beaten to death?

Therefore, Zhang Zuotang and Wu Luqi are combined, and the left and right are also like this, it is better to simply vote for the Ming Lord, anyway, the court only knows about them and extortions, this is the case when Nanling was the case, and Yao Wenzhan was like this when he was the emperor. After Yao Guang ascended the throne, he only made a show in the first two years and exempted some taxes, and then under the banner of suppressing bandits, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes emerged in an endless stream, but he also coincidentally set up a name to protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment!

"Being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to sell sweet potatoes on the street. The two of us came to ask for the people's lives, so as not to make the people miserable when the new lord raised an army, and secondly, it was also the same ...... Hey...... This ......"

Lin Xi also understood what the two of them meant, and she could take two county towns without spending a single soldier, so she naturally couldn't ask for it.

hurriedly walked out with Yu Deshui and Jiang Fei.

Although Jiang County Ling said that he had decided to support the Jiang family's ascendancy, no matter what, this is also called rebellion and rebellion. Now there are two little friends, and they are overjoyed.

The three county towns are in a triangular shape, and Wanlin County is in the rear, so the garrison fortifications will naturally be extended to the other two counties.

Given that Lin Xi has only built a dozen or so fish ponds in Wanlin County, there is enough food and drinking water, but it is not easy to transport water to the other two counties to irrigate the farmland.

So everyone decided to take Wanlin County as a base, integrate the people of the three counties, the young and middle-aged directly into the Jiang family army to start recruit training, the rest of the men were sent to Lindeng, Meixian two garrisons fortifications, the rest of the women are old and weak to do what they can, farming and breeding are correct, to ensure the supply of military funds in the future war.

It should be said that the vast majority of the people were overjoyed to learn the news, and they had been hungry for many years, but now they were suddenly told that as long as they obeyed the arrangement, they would not only be able to eat enough from now on, but also fight for a future if they performed bravely, and all the families were full of energy.

There are also a handful of people who are born with a backbone or simply think that Lin Xi is just fooling around, trying in vain to spread the news to the emperor in order to change a better future.

The result is naturally very tragic, either they were pulled out and killed by the masses or directly destroyed by the shadow troops led by Lin Xi, and if they dared to beat the Jiang family's small report, they must be killed to show the public, so that those who have two hearts will completely lose their minds.

Don't think that the toiling masses are kind and know how to repay gratitude, so sometimes it is still necessary to give grace and power.

The construction of the three counties is in good order and in full swing.

The first task is to take advantage of the drought to clean up the river and reinforce the embankment with the soil and rock that has been cleared. The water in the river has dried up, so could it be that the river is cleaned up for exercise? Only a few core forces such as Lin Xi would know that it would not be long before there was another catastrophe.

Fortunately, Lin Xi managed the nest very well, and was not affected too much by the drought, a large number of green leafy vegetables were ripe, and the potatoes that passed through the mother were also ripe.

Jiang Wulang, who is in charge of vegetable planting, said that to ensure that the people of the three counties have food and clothing, there is a problem with wood!

The cotton brought back by my mother was also planted in large quantities, and the growth was gratifying, and the flowers were about to become a sea of cotton flowers, and Lin Xi was dizzy for a while.

In September, my mother, who had been running to Africa with Jiang Ziming, finally came back, bringing back a large amount of dry food and herbs for emergencies.

The old couple was very tanned, and the charcoal was almost there, and Lin Xi had a sense of seeing Ah Li's family.

Mother Jiang praised Lin Xi when she came up, saying that she had walked through so many places, all of them were starving and yellow, but I had a big flower and fruit mountain, with green grass and trees, and full of vitality.

With Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, there are also many talented people on the rivers and lakes, to say that Jiang Ziming's appeal is definitely not covered.

Lin Xi saw that they were actually studying how to make an extra-large siege crossbow similar to the Zhuge Repeater, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, my mother was so courageous!

Mother Jiang waved her hand, as long as my daughter wants it, as long as my daughter is willing to say it!

Lin Xi instantly felt that five words were floating in the sky - that was not a problem!

When everyone in Huaguo Mountain was actively preparing for the war, they actually received a holy decree from Yao Wenzhan from the palace!
