There is not enough manpower

Governor Shen was unmoved, and was determined to beat the white-faced man, "Be sharp!" Just teach him a hard lesson in this court, and let him sober up what country he is! ”

"You dare! Ouch! The white-faced man was hit by the first blow, grinning in pain and his face was distorted, and he turned his head to look at the onlookers at the entrance of the lobby, "What are you still doing in a daze, your brother was beaten, and you didn't come in to help!" ”

"I still have the strength to speak, give me a hard beating!" Governor Shen was angry, "How can this be reasonable, you dare to despise the imperial court!" ”

The border city is too close to the frontier, and the Shen Governor's Mansion can be regarded as suffering from the war, knowing that the border city can still be kept safe now because of the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is the court of the Great Xia Kingdom that supports the army.

For some people's thoughts, he was heartbroken but unable to do anything, and when he saw someone at the door, he immediately sent additional people, "Let them come in for me, this official wants to see who dares to come in!" ”

"You listen to me, don't think that you have to pay taxes to the court now and complain a lot, let me tell you, if it weren't for the army of the Great Xia Kingdom to protect the safety of this side, now you are the slaves of the Xiliang Kingdom, not to mention that you can't eat enough, even your life may not be guaranteed!

Have you ever heard of the slave owners of Xiliang Kingdom eating people? You think it's a legend, let me tell you, some slave owners in Xiliang are really good at digging their hearts and eating people!

Looking at the world, how many countries have people who have enough to eat? Most of you have enough food and clothing, and you will starve for a month or two at most, but have you ever been to Xiliang Country? Do you know how many children in Xiliang Kingdom starve to death every year? How many ordinary people? ”

Governor Shen's Mansion is really chilling, some of the Diao people only care about the benefits of the Xingluo Sect in front of them, but they don't know how much the imperial court spends every year in order to protect the tranquility of the border, and this group of Diao people holds a grudge against paying taxes!

Shen Zhifu just said these words with the mentality of giving it a try, and did not expect them to have much consciousness, after all, human nature is inherently selfish.

But some people listened.

"Lord Shen is right, I went to Xiliang Country a few years ago, and it was really miserable, it was obviously the harvest season on our side, and because of the bad weather on their side, the harvest was only half of ours, and many people couldn't eat and were hungry like monkeys. Not only did slaves not have enough to eat, but they had to work like livestock. ”

"Yes, yes, I have also been to Xiliang Country, it was winter when I went, I wanted to sell medicinal materials to make a profit, who knew that I was robbed and there was no place to tell, at that time, I could see the corpses of starvation and disease everywhere on the side of Xiliang Road, that was a miserable!"

There are very few people who have been to Xiliang, and more people choose to be silent, but there are also some troublemakers, especially those from the Xingluo faction, "You won't be the nursery sent by the Shen Governor's Mansion, have you been to Xiliang Country?" Hehe, is Xiliang so easy to go to? If you don't have an official document from the government, what will you do to get through? ”

"It's not, it's still selling medicinal herbs, and it's a lie at first glance! If you want to speak for the surname Shen, you have also troubled your brain, okay, don't talk nonsense. ”

The two businessmen were not convinced, and immediately quarreled with those who questioned them, "You people from the Star Luo Sect, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are!" Don't tell me that the people you Xingluo sent went to Xiliang Kingdom to report to the government? Which time didn't you sneak around? Which one has changed

The official document? Which time was it not the mountain road behind Chenjia Village?

Don't ask me why I know? I tell you, I'm the little businessman you want to collect protection money, but you can't! It's really funny, robbing the rich and helping the poor? Who do we hurt by eating by our own efforts? What qualifications do you have to rob me of something! ”

"No, I'm also in a small business, I can't make much money, and I don't have any money for you! Because the shop at home is close to the yamen, you can't receive protection money, so you have taken advantage of my family's outings to hurt me several times! You are holding a grudge against us and hating the government! ”

The members of the Star Luo Sect who questioned the two of them were said to be ugly, and they became angry on the spot, "You are talking nonsense, you are clearly rich and unkind!" ”

"But no, why is everyone working hard, and you are the only ones who have a good life?"

"We are also for your own good, so that you don't feel guilty!"

Shen Zhifu sat on the high hall, and smiled angrily when he heard the words, before the Holy Decree of Emperor Xia came down, the Star Luo Sect was quite low-key, but for some reason, after the Holy Decree was issued, the Star Luo Sect tore off its disguise and became more and more arrogant.

He didn't know why, but Lin Changsheng, who was mixed in the crowd, understood: Emperor Xia's ultimatum had forced the Star Luo Sect into a desperate situation!

Whether it is Nanluo or Xiliang, no country is as rich in resources as the Great Xia Kingdom, and they are better able to make money and develop better in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Now that they are driven out of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is equivalent to cutting off their financial routes, and they have to go to more difficult places to live, and they are used to living a superior life, how can they be willing to endure hardships?

Naturally, the original form is revealed.

Lin Changsheng was very satisfied with Governor Shen's tough performance, and continued to mix in the crowd, waiting to see how things changed.

The two businessmen were also amused by the shamelessness of the Star Luo faction, and said angrily, "What is guilt? Aren't you bodhisattva-minded? You have the ability to give your possessions to the poor! ”

"That's right! You are reluctant to take out your own things, but you rob us, what kind of rotten good intentions are you, you are clearly the devil! ”

They are not very good at talking, but every sentence has won the heart of Shen Zhifu.

The people of the Star Luo Sect did not panic at all, "That's because you are insatiable, and all you earn is the people's money, we are different, our money is earned by ourselves!" ”

"But no, you are good at doing business and making money, we are all farming and farming, we don't have as much money as you, your money comes easily, what's wrong with a little bit?"

Businessman: "Funny, whose money is blown by the wind?" Whose money isn't earned? It's you guys, it's easy to collect protection money! ”

A group of people were arguing at the gate of the yamen, and the white-faced man inside had already been beaten with forty boards, and he was half dead.

Governor Shen waved his hand, "Okay, you can go back, remember to pay back the plaintiff!" ”

Then let the catcher quickly throw him out, "Since it is from your Star Luo Sect, you can take it away." ”

Although the people of the Star Luo Sect looked disgusted, they still took the white-faced man away.

There was no case to try in the yamen for the time being, Shen Zhifu returned to the backyard, Xingluo's people left, and the crowd gradually dispersed without quarrels.

Lin Changsheng walked into the backyard of the yamen at this time.

Lin Changsheng had been here to fight a few times before, and the gatekeeper knew him and invited him in.

Governor Shen was very surprised, and hurriedly greeted him, "General Lin? How did you get here? Did the emperor send you to deal with those scoundrels? ”

The corners of Lin Changsheng's mouth twitched, Emperor Xia is considered an old man?

Well, it seems a bit old.

Bummer? The people of the Star Luo Sect are indeed scoundrels, too appropriate.

"Well, I saw what happened today, you did a good job!"

"Thank you General Lin for the compliment, which made you smile."

Lin Changsheng looked serious, "I said it very seriously, if you do the right thing today, you can't get used to them, blatantly recruiting troops, the emperor really raised a group of white-eyed wolves." ”

The people of the Star Luo Sect make money but don't pay taxes, but they can enjoy the peace of the Great Xia Kingdom, isn't it what is raising?

Governor Shen agreed with Lin Changsheng's words, "Let's go in and say." ”

The two entered a room in the backyard and sat down at a round table, before they sat down, Governor Shen gushed and talked about the recent actions of the Star Luo Sect, and was at a loss, "General Lin, you must stop this matter as soon as possible!" ”

"I'm here, it's fine."

"General Lin, I'm just afraid of long nights and dreams, you don't know, they used my family to threaten me before, and I didn't agree to their request to be complicit in the same stream under great pressure. If you don't come again, I can't hold it anymore! ”

"Oh? Isn't General Fan there? Consult and send troops out to surround them. ”

As soon as he said this, Governor Shen was even more excited, "General Lin, you don't know, after you warned the people of Xiliang last time, they didn't dare to come again, but the talents of the Xingluo faction here are chaotic, so they sent troops to confront us at the border, and General Fan didn't dare to move troops easily!" ”

Lin Changsheng frowned, Shen Zhifu said these situations in the recital, but General Fan should have a lot of manpower, why can't he draw people?

The inquiring gaze looked at Governor Shen, who sighed, "Last time cholera was rampant in the army, the number of troops was sharply reduced by half, and the army today is no longer the mighty army you were in the past!" ”

Lin Changsheng hadn't heard of these things, so it was no wonder that the army couldn't transfer people to deal with the people of the Star Luo Sect.

In an instant, Lin Changsheng understood a lot of things, on the surface, Xia Zhongmo was forced to be exposed at this time, but even if they didn't find out his whereabouts, it was almost time for him to be ripe.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Lin Changsheng took out the secret decree given to him by Emperor Xia Fang, "Look at it yourself, burn it after reading it!" ”

Lin Changsheng roughly knew what was written on the secret decree, that is, to ask Governor Shen to fully cooperate with him and strive to exterminate all the members of the Star Luo Sect.

Governor Shen was extremely embarrassed, "We are really understaffed, and General Fan has a good case." ”

"There's not enough people everywhere right now."

Lin Changsheng didn't say that not only was there not enough manpower, but the treasury was empty.

After so many years of war, the cost is huge, and money needs to be spent everywhere.

So Lin Changsheng somewhat understands that the crown prince and Emperor Xia are crying poor, and they really have no money!

But he won't take out all his family property, just kidding, he is not a saint, he just wants to take care of his wife and children, free clinics, sell medicines to the army at cost price, and pay out of his own pocket for business trips, and he still has to support his family for the rest.

Shen Zhifu was worried, "What can I do about this?" The Star Luo Sect is rich, they have first-class means to buy people's hearts, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid..."

"Just be yourself, General Fan and I will figure it out." Lin Changsheng swore that this was the most patient he had ever been with outsiders!
