Captain Lu nodded and understood what Chen Letian meant, and then asked when he would send troops to suppress the bandits.

Chen Letian said, wait a little longer, wait for those local officials to respond to the lawsuit, it will be soon, and you will be able to send troops in less than seven days. I know that Brother Lu has already planned it, so I'm waiting to take my brothers out to practice for a while. Don't worry, we've got it.

Captain Huang said, I hope that these bandits will not surrender without blood, but the brothers are screaming to fight, they... You know that. If they hold it any longer, they will be suffocated.

Chen Letian laughed, he knew best these forward battalion soldiers, even when they were in the camp of the Northern Army, they would be uncomfortable if they didn't go out for three days, and if they didn't fight for more than seven days, they would have to fight exercises in the team: "When the time comes, they don't have to be tired, according to Brother Lu, according to your arrangement, will the schedule be too tight, too urgent, too tired?"

Captain Lu said that this is not enough for two-thirds of our usual training, and we are tired of anything.

Chen Letian said, after all, our usual training is just a simple practice march, not fighting.

Captain Lu said, so I left one-third of my physical strength enough for them.

"It's not easy brothers. Chen Letian couldn't help but sigh, tired to think about.

Three days later, people began to arrive in Chengdu one after another.

As soon as the officials from all over the country entered the city gate of Chengdu, they were arranged by Chen Letian to report to the city gate statisticians, come one, and Chen Letian put one on the list.

Among the more than 1,000 people, there are five county commanders, several directors of the criminal department below, and the rest are all large and small officials, all of whom were arranged by Chen Letian to enter the largest restaurant opened by the Shu Wangfu in Chengdu.

The largest restaurant with a large house of dozens of feet is enough to accommodate more than 1,000 people, and only here can live, and other restaurants are not big enough.

Of course, none of them would live in such a big house.

Even if it is at the level of a county magistrate, he only lives in an ordinary room.

Fortunately, the prince has such a big family business for free for the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen, otherwise Chen Letian would really not be able to arrange these people. You can't put these people in jail, after all, they haven't been convicted before the case is tried, and they can't do that.

More than 1,000 people are under house arrest in this huge inn.

Everyone lived in an ordinary room, but even the most ordinary room in the inn was the size of five feet in length.

All meals are sent to the house, it is strictly forbidden to go out, and it is forbidden to visit the door, and if necessary, tell the guards equipped outside each room. 56

You can write a letter to the Imperial History Yamen to Chen Yushi, or you can write a letter to the Imperial Court to Your Majesty. Just give it to the guards who are guarding it.

Three days later, all the people came. There are a lot of them, and all of them are here.

Chen Letian convened a meeting of the imperial history.

At the meeting, Chen Letian praised the documents written by these imperial historians, and said that if it weren't for the good documents written by you, these people would not have come in large numbers. I was going to have to have a dozen people running away and didn't dare to come, but I didn't expect all of them to come.

Zhang Yushi said where and where, it's not that our writing is good, but that they think that the crime they committed is not big, it's not a big deal, and they just need to distinguish a few sentences, at most they just lose their positions, so they all came. Perhaps they feel that the stability and harmony with their families must be acceptable. Fortunately, these people have families, and it is not easy for them to run around the place with wives and children, otherwise I am afraid they would have run away a long time ago. Let our paperwork fall into the sky, and they should run or run.

"Adults don't need to be modest, and I don't lie to me, you have a great credit for this. "Chen Letian waved his hand and said don't be modest, I'm too lazy to argue with you. In fact, the reason is very simple, the officials earned silver, no matter how poor they were before, with the silver they had everything, there was no daughter-in-law now, there were no concubines now, and there were children, which took root in the local area, and it was not easy to run once they took root. Lonely people can leave if they want to, but it is different when they have wives and children.

The Masters of the Imperial Historian have questions about the next step. Get all these people here, and what to do next is a top priority.

brought them to give them food and drink, but they were all supported by the Shu King's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion. These days, just the food and drink of the three hundred soldiers of the Northern Army cost a lot of silver, and now they have brought so many officials, so they also want to solve it as soon as possible and reduce the burden on the Shu Wangfu and the Governor's Mansion. Although the King of Shu and the Governor's Mansion have said many times that there is no need to worry about the food, you don't have to worry about it, this is a sacred gift from the Holy God to us, and it is our honor. "Isn't it right that the people's fat and people's ointment are taken from the people and the people?" the King of Shu asked Chen Letian so solemnly.

It is the real money of the prince, and I am afraid that it will cost thousands of taels a day, and now with the more than 1,000 Shu officials who eat and drink for nothing, Chen Letian estimates that the cost will be at least 1,500 taels.

But since the prince said it so frankly, and the prince himself said that I can spend so much money to contribute a small amount of my own strength to the governance and stability of our Great Song Dynasty, isn't it worth it?

Then Chen Letian has nothing to say, he can only bow deeply to the prince and praise, the prince is noble, the lower officials have nothing to say, and the lower officials will explain to His Majesty the prince's heart to serve the country.

The prince waved his hand again and frowned and said: This king is just doing his duty, there is no need to tell His Majesty about this matter, and besides, this king is not doing this for His Majesty to see. Shu Di is not well governed now, and this king has an unshirkable responsibility. Now this king can do something, even if he wants this king to take out all his property, it is also right! Lord Chen doesn't need to say much, listen to this king, we just know about this matter, don't publicize it, let alone tell Your Majesty.

Chen Letian clenched the prince's hand with admiration and emotion, choked speechlessly, and didn't know how to express his admiration to the prince for a while, but the prince just waved his hand uprightly, turned back to the palace to play with his concubines.

Although there is no need to worry about the cost of so many people, it is their duty to solve the matter properly as soon as possible.

The Imperial Historians asked what to do next.

Chen Letian looked at the imperial historians and asked, what do you think?

Of course, the wise imperial historians will not say that we have any ideas, don't say that they really don't have any ideas, even if they do, they will weigh and weigh the past few days, when did the Chen imperial history in front of them come up with a bad idea? When did they not think about it thoughtfully?
