Huangsha County, where Gu Xuan is going to take up his post on this trip, is located in the gap between the two states of Yan and Yan, and the terrain is prominent, although it is an outpost for the imperial court to march in the direction of Shahai, it can be seen from the map that it is almost disconnected from the two states next to it.

Huangsha County was originally a few decades ago, the Liangguo Imperial Court in order to open up the desert in the alien territory and sent an advance team to establish a place of trade, should be a prosperous bazaar, the imperial court did invest a lot of manpower and material resources back then, but later I don't know why, suddenly and the desert of the alien tribes, and at that time it was the time when the two monarchs of the Liang country alternated powers, this remote place is thankless, it is difficult to make political achievements, so no one cares at all, so when this place was attacked and plundered by the aliens and a large number of horse bandits who swarmed out of the sand sea, the two states next to Yu and Yan did not waste military defenseAs a result, the three subordinate towns next to Huangsha County were attacked one by one without resistance, and the villagers who originally moved here were also slaughtered, and now these three towns are still one of the bases of the Inhuman tribe and horse bandits.

The relatively backward Huangsha County relied on the desperate defense of the original defenders, coupled with the sudden withdrawal of the other party, and finally survived, but it also became a lonely city, surviving.

Over the years, the original subordinate feudal towns of Huangsha County have become outcasts of the imperial court, and no one has ever thought of it, or talked about the reconquest, Huangsha County is still subordinate to the jurisdiction of the border army of the Youzhou army, relying on the help of the Youzhou army, and there are no long-sighted aliens and horse bandits who dare to openly move the county seat of the Liangguo, and it has been peaceful for 20 years, but now it has suddenly become the fief of the newly sealed king of Hedong County of the imperial court, and the Youzhou army naturally withdrew.

If the prince of other places sees the army belonging to the imperial court withdraw from his fiefdom, he is afraid that it will be too late to be happy, after all, this has become his own territory in the real sense, without the constraints of the imperial court, the supervision of the official army, what do you want to do, but for Huangsha County, which is barely supported, this is equivalent to stripping off the last profane pants of others at once, and putting a big girl with white flowers in front of the enemy, how can there be any reason not to loot?

The current magistrate of Huangsha County has been in this panic and anxiety for the past few days, feeling that he will be killed by the gangsters who rushed in at any time.

Because of this, the city gate has been closed, and it has not dared to open for several days, which also leads to the ordinary people who want to leave early because they witnessed the sudden withdrawal of the garrison can't run away, and the city is even more complaining, but where does the county care about that, these days he is staying at home, and has been waiting anxiously for the people who come to hand over, so he can quickly throw this mess out.

Xu Sanjin, the current magistrate of Huangsha County, is a middle-aged man with two delicate mustaches, his cheeks are sunken, his whole body is as thin as a monkey, and his two small eyeballs with very few whites are dripping and turning, giving people a feeling of being a thief.

Xu Sanjin is now standing in the center of the hall of the county government, holding his hands, walking back and forth, his expression is very distressed, and standing next to him is Fa Xiao's classmate who grew up with him, and he is also the chief bookkeeper of the county office, Chen Anmin.

Although the area of Huangsha County is not large, it is a little larger than the average town, but as the outpost of the Liang Kingdom to march into the Shahai, it was completely built according to military purposes, and the city wall was built to be a lot higher than the establishment of the normal county seat, and it was much thicker, looking at it gave people a sense of security.

The place where the county government is located is built on the south city gate, that is, the boundary of Youzhou, along a road in the middle to the north, and the entire county is planned as four areas: southeast, northwest and northwest.

The eastern part of it is a bazaar, although the Liang country was at odds with the Inhuman tribe in the sand sea twenty years ago, which led to the outbreak of the previous war, but now there are still merchants of the Inhuman race who come here to sell goods and exchange resources, and there are not a lot of them, the people of the Liang country in the city have to earn money to support their families, and the imperial court can also collect taxes, so they let it go, anyway, this should be a market shared by the two clans.

The north side of the county is the place where the garrison is, which is convenient for defense, although the garrison of the Youzhou army in the city has been withdrawn, but the locally recruited militia team is still stationed in it, and it has not been dismissed, after all, if this is dismissed, it is a thorn in the cactus, so that the enemy can eat casually.

The western part of the county is where the local people live, Huangsha County has been next to the desert from the map, the land is barren, and there is a lack of water, most of the fields can not be planted, coupled with the flooding of strangers and horse bandits nearby, the ordinary people around have basically run away, and the people in the city have also relied on animal husbandry or doing some bilateral small business to live these years, but for various reasons, they have not left, of course, now they can't run if they want to.

And the last Beicheng District was supposed to be where the officials of the county government lived, but in recent years, except for Xu Sanjin, an unlucky guy who was transferred in from outside for an unlucky reason, there are actually no officials in the entire county government.

Xu Sanjin, the old mansion belonging to the county, was too lazy to live, since he took office, he basically lived directly in the county office, knowing that he came to Huangsha County, a ruined place with no oil and water and danger, he left his wife and children in his hometown in Hexi County, Youzhou, early, and then brought a coachman and Chen Anmin to work here.

The magistrate of the county, the county and the warden are also directly covered by one person, eating three salaries, as for the county jail, it has been abandoned for many days, and the six rooms that should have been under his command are even more useless, not even a living person, and most of the militia team has been dismissed, but the quota is still reported as usual, as for the salary and silver sent by the imperial court, it is all into his pocket, and the original fast arresting officials in the county government have made him a personal bodyguard, waiting outside his door all day long.

Originally, I wanted to make money to become an official, but I didn't expect to be unlucky to be transferred to this kind of place where birds don't, Xu Sanjin didn't give up on himself, but gave full play to his ability to dig three feet into the ground and scavenge the land.

A few days ago, the Youzhou army suddenly withdrew, but he was frightened, so that people didn't bother to pay attention to him, the cousin of the so-called general, after watching the garrison leave, he really lived in a panic these days, if he didn't care about the handover, he really wanted to go with him, who cares about this broken place.

"Damn, why haven't you come yet!" Xu Sanjin dangled around the room, shaking so much that Chen Anmin, the chief bookkeeper on the side, was about to dazzle, and the latter hurriedly stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, my lord, it should be these days." ”

"Hey, it's another unlucky ghost, don't pull me up if you're unlucky, my lord, I can finally leave this hellish place, but don't end up with something wrong. ”

Xu Sanjin was a little happy at the thought of leaving this ghost place, he just wanted to leave quickly, the farther he went, the better, anyway, it would be best if he never had to come back to this place.

Chen Anmin, who was next to him, also nodded yes, and said with a wistful face: "Hey, I can finally go, my lord, when I go elsewhere, I have to rely on the support of adults." ”

Saying that, he actually bowed down on the spot, Xu Sanjin hurriedly stepped forward to help the other party, and pretended to say: "Hey, they are all their own brothers, don't be like this, when you get to Dahe County, I have a share to eat, and I won't starve you!"

The reason why Hedong County is called Hedong County is because there is a big river that runs through most of Youzhou, and a large place in the east of the river is Hedong County, and Dahe County in Hedong County relies on this big river, which is naturally very rich, and this place is a first-class land with plenty of oil and water, that is, the population is not comparable here, and the two of them will rush to Hedong County to take office after handing over the affairs here, thinking of these two people can't help laughing.

"Blessed are that. ”

Xu Sanjin twisted the mustache on the side of his mouth and suddenly laughed.

Chen Anmin, as his confidant, naturally knew who the other party was talking about, it was a local woman, nearly forty years old but the charm still exists, in this poor country is also a beauty, his own master because the original wife is in his hometown, there is nowhere to put out the fire for a long time, and accidentally went out on the street to see the village woman, so he robbed it to be the second wife, but the woman began to be reluctant to live or die, struggling hard, and said that her husband was a soldier of the border army in Youzhou, which scared the two of them at that time.

Don't mess with anyone who is a soldier!

Especially in a place like Youzhou, the power of the border army is much higher than the civilian officials in a place like them, if you really rob the daughter-in-law of the border army of Youzhou, and then meet some bigwigs in the army who love to take care of things, maybe you will be tied up and fed to the dog, and then it will be said that the horse bandits are coming, and unfortunately died, who will dare to avenge you?

Later, after many inquiries, I learned that the woman's husband was indeed a soldier of the Youzhou border army, but that was once, as early as twenty years ago, he had died in the Acropolis Battle of Huangsha County, and the person's colleagues back then were basically dead, and no one would definitely come to trouble afterwards。

Now they are about to move to Dahe County, in Xu Sanjin's opinion, isn't it because this woman has gone through great luck and climbed herself to get out of this sea of suffering?

At the moment, it is even more proud.

"Master, I am also a loving and righteous person, when I arrive in Dahe County, I eat and drink spicy food every day, wear gold and silver, this girl will have to figure it out when the time comes, and then give birth to a big fat boy, my life will be complete. ”

This is a heart disease that Xu Sanjin has always had, the original partner of his hometown is a hen who can't lay eggs, she is pregnant with several children, and she has all daughters, not a son.

Chen Anmin, who was next to him, naturally knew these situations, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted his ass and said: "How can this be complete? The master will definitely be prosperous in the future, and the children and grandchildren will be full, I said that the master, you are too easy to be satisfied, where is this!"

"Hahahahaha, listen to this!An Min, if I become a big official in the future, you will still be my chief bookkeeper!" Xu Sanjin was obviously very useful for this kind of *sycophancy, and immediately laughed heartily.

And at this moment, a servant suddenly broke in from outside, and saluted: "Master, there is a group of people from outside the city, under the banner of the Youzhou Army, saying that they are escorting the new county master!"
