The other merchants in the fortress received the news of the restaurant owner, and also felt that the Marshal's Mansion had treated them badly, and agreed that the Marshal's Mansion had forgotten the importance of merchants to them, so they were willing to support the restaurant owner and knock the Marshal's Mansion for a beat.

So the merchants went on strike, all kinds of stores were suspended, the dates were not collected, the grain was not sold, and there was nothing left anyway.

The fortress was in a mess all of a sudden, and the backlog of sand dates in the hands of the common people could not be exchanged for food, and they panicked, and the long-term and short-term workers who did odd jobs could not buy tools, but they were not in a hurry, but the master panicked.

There must be a reason why the merchants did not do business, and the common people found all kinds of ways to try and inquire, and finally came to a conclusion - it turned out that the Marshal's Mansion had offended the merchants!

Some people can't help it: If the Marshal's Mansion offends the merchants, why does it affect our people? How can we ordinary people offend your Marshal's Mansion? One moment we arbitrarily judge cases and kill people, and the next time we have no food, is this to force us to rebel?

Of course, the common people do not dare to rebel, and now there is still surplus food at home, and no one can starve to death for ten days and half a month, and the main thing that stimulates them is a sense of distress.

Merchants are accustomed to using psychological warfare to achieve their own goals, and they have seized on the uneasiness of the people of the fortress and exploited them fiercely.

After listening to Zhang Kaiyu's description, Li Rong couldn't help frowning.

In the two cases, he thought that Zhang Kaiyu's judgment was not wrong, but the problem was that the fortress rules of the battlefield were different from reality, the status of the merchant was too special, strong and arrogant, it was normal not to put the Marshal's Mansion in his eyes, but to threaten by means of strikes, which was a bit too much to say.

And the problem on the side of the common people is not small, these people originally trusted the Marshal's Mansion unconditionally, but this trust is sometimes a burden, because any little disagreement will cause unpredictable consequences, and now the disagreement has appeared, so that their tense nerves are suddenly broken, and all the accumulated fear and anxiety have found an outlet, and they have smashed it in one go.

Li Rong returned to the fortress, and the two cases were handed over to him, and after thinking about it for a while, there was no proper solution.

To tell the truth, Li Rong was the king of conquest in his previous life and had his own territorial fief, but in fact he had no experience in management, at that time he entrusted Wenxiang's students to manage on his behalf, and he was well organized in all aspects, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

But now it doesn't work, there is no reliable person on hand, everything has to be done by yourself, this hands-on, I immediately found that many things are complicated, I think it is correct, it may not be the right way to deal with it, just like Zhang Kaiyu's handling method, Li Rong is recognized, but the people and businessmen don't buy it.

Is this wrong? Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's right.

Justice is in the hearts of the people, right and wrong look at the position, there is no absolute.

Zhang Kaiyu and Li Rong both judged from the perspective of bystanders, justice is justice, but it does not mean that businessmen and ordinary people will accept it.

There is no point in talking about the case now, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, the top priority is to calm things down as soon as possible, otherwise the second wave of beast tide is coming, and these two things will always be a hidden danger if they are not resolved.

"I'll find a way to solve these two things, and I still have a few things to do with you, which are very important, don't have any problems this time. Li Rong said.

Zhang Kai's face turned white, and said, "Brother, don't, you find someone else, I really can't do it." ”

"Don't be cowardly, it's not difficult, I've already planned it, you just need to follow the plan and watch it for me." Li Rong said.

"This ......" Zhang Kaiyu thought about it, and felt that he didn't manage the fortress well, and it was a bit unreasonable not to help this little favor, so he agreed: "Okay, but if you say it, I'll be responsible for helping you watch it, and I don't care about the rest." ”

Li Rong nodded and said, "You wait first, I'll write down the things to be done, and someone will send them to you tomorrow, these things can't be completed quickly, you pick a few important ones to complete some first, and the rest can be done after the beast tide." ”

After sending Zhang Kaiyu away, Li Rong thought quietly alone for a while, and then he called the guards, instructed them something, and got up and went to the barracks.

The barracks were empty, only eight hundred militiamen were practicing, Li Rong looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that his eighty-nine guards seemed to have room for improvement, should they find a time to explore a new battle formation to teach them?

Before Li Rong could continue to delve deeper into this issue, a militiaman suddenly came to the barracks to report that a large number of troops had appeared a hundred miles outside the city gate and asked Li Rong for instructions.

Li Rong frowned, thinking to himself that he was about to face a beast tide at this time, who would drive the troops here? Could it be that it was a straggler who got lost in the Gobi again?

Li Rong followed the militia to the city, he must pay attention to this matter, there are no soldiers in the city at the moment, if he encounters a bad guest, then the problem will be great.

Zhang Kaiyu, who got the news, also came, and he stood beside Li Rong, looking into the distance.

"Is it friend or foe?" Zhang Kaiyu looked at the large army in the distance, and his face turned a little pale.

Li Rong shook his head: "It's too far away to see the identity of the other party." ”

"Then what should we do now? Do you want to be ready to meet the enemy?" Zhang Kaiyu asked.

"Let people get ready for battle, but don't show your head easily, maybe it's passing by, maybe it's just a matter of waiting and seeing. Li Rong said.

Obviously, it turned out that the other side was not passing by, they were coming in the direction of the fortress, sword and shield men, spearmen, crossbowmen, cavalry, chariot soldiers...... The various classes are almost all together, and this combination is enough to fight a tough battle.

However, Li Rong found that there was one person missing from this team, a very important person.

"What to do? They came towards us. Zhang Kaiyu was a little nervous, he knew the situation of the troops in the fortress, it could be said that it was an empty city, in this case, if the other party attacked the city, his side would not be able to stop it at all.

Li Rong said, "Did you notice that there was one person missing from the team?"

"Is there a difference between 100,000 people and 99,999 people?" Zhang Kaiyu said hurriedly.

Li Rong shook his head: "No, you didn't understand what I said that this person is very important, and he is unique in the entire army, huh...... At least in the Array Battlefield. ”

"Unique?" Zhang Kaiyu chewed on these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Yes, there are no candidates in this team!

At this time, the army was already approaching the fortress, Li Rong saw the armor on the other party's body clearly, and suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go down and meet the allies." ”

"Allies?" Zhang Kaiyu wanted to ask what the situation was, but when he saw that Li Rong had already gone down the city wall, he hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
