Chapter 45 Chen Cang Bandits
"The situation of the mountains on three sides is steep, and the terrain is complex, so there will be banditry."
"Those thieves have been entrenched here for a long time, and some have even existed since the Qin Dynasty."
"When Xia Guan first served as the commander of Chencang County, he was appointed to suppress bandits."
"Not only did it fail to achieve, but it angered the thief, and every year in the harvest season, they all came to the Chen warehouse to grab grain."
Speaking of this, Bai Fu looked ashamed, thinking that this was an extremely humiliating thing.
The county soldiers live in a peaceful area all year round, and it is normal for experienced thieves to fall if they can't defeat them.
Ke Fusu had something unclear about, and said: "Every year in the county, officials come down to inspect. ”
"The court also sent more eunuchs to inspect the imperial history, so no one dealt with it?"
Chen Cang is the main road, and it is inevitable that thieves have been entrenched for so many years.
Bai Fu shook his head helplessly.
"The lower officials have reported many times, and the county has also sent people to encircle and suppress it several times."
"But the thief has been stationed for decades, and he is extremely familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and he is cunning."
"Often, as soon as the armor enters, it disappears."
"There's nothing the county can do."
Bai Fu choked.
"But if the grain in the treasury is robbed by thieves every year, even the father will not stand idly by."
"It's not good in the county, and there is still the court, how can they be rampant for many years!"
Fusu was puzzled and even more angry.
In the territory of Daqin, Chencang is a big county, but it has been handled by just thieves.
How not to make people angry.
"It's the incompetence of the lower officials, and the son is not angry."
Seeing that Fusu's mood was already unstable, Bai Fu was afraid of offending this nobleman, so he persuaded again and again.
Seeing that people are in their last years, they have long been gone, and only survived.
Fusu finally understood why everyone had not been promoted for more than 20 years.
Mingzhe protects himself, is timid and afraid, and will not dare to resist the thief.
It has been rampant for countless years.
It's just that people are getting old, and they are not embarrassed after all.
During the banquet, everyone did not talk about this anymore, but only drank and chatted, and they were all drunk.
After the banquet was dispersed, Fusu knew.
The thief was also clever, lest he go too far and lead the court army to surround him.
Only half of the grain is taken each time, and half is left for the county government to hand over the grain and provide relief.
Therefore, even if some officials reported the matter to Xianyang, they did not pay attention to it.
Let it be put on hold.
Han Min walked into the house, lit the lamp for Fusu, and asked her to look through the account books of the county government in recent years.
This is what he asked Han Min to ask Bai Fu to come.
At the beginning, this old old man still refused, saying that it was unreasonable.
Han Min moved out of Fusu and had the right to wither local officials, so Bai Fu had no choice but to agree.
It is true that the grain is handed over every year, but there is never any surplus grain in the warehouse.
Fu Su sneered, "This thief knows how to manipulate the minds of these people. ”
"For them, they don't seek merit but no fault, as long as they can keep their official position, they can get by and get by."
"What Gongzi means is that the Chencang County Order is not as he said, and he really wants to eradicate this theft."
Han Min came over with an oil lamp and placed it in the corner of the table.
In front of Fusu, the words on the bamboo slips were much clearer in an instant.
"Not really, he probably really wanted to eradicate it at first, but then he found that he couldn't do it, so he just did."
After reading a volume, Fusu casually threw it in the corner of the table, and Han Min carefully sorted it out beside him.
Fusu suddenly thought of something, looked up and said to Han Min:
"In the autumn of the previous year, there was a severe drought in the Chencang area, and Yongxian County together reliably stored grain to survive."
"Only this Chen Cang, there is no storage in the warehouse, and the grain was transferred from Ji County."
"What Gongzi means is that the thieves are becoming more and more rampant because of the reluctance of the Chencang County Order."
"So to speak." Fusu nodded.
"You go to find out with Gan Ji, why are we here, we can't let Chen Cang always be an empty grain depot."
After Han Min left, Fusu was alone with a dim oil lamp, and there was already a small pile of bamboo slips that he was flipping through.
He expected these problems of local officials, but he was also helpless.
It is no wonder that as soon as the first emperor died, the seemingly majestic Great Qin fell like a mountain.
This prosperous area is on the surface, and the inside has long since decayed from the roots.
If you want to save yourself, you must also protect Daqin.
These seemingly too small problems may well become the last straw for the building.
In history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and they didn't care about it at first.
In the end, it became the beginning of the fall of Great Qin.
The night is getting darker, and the lights are full of shadows.
Fusu's resolute face condensed the resolute shadow on the curtain in this dim mist.
Plan for the future and think hard for the present.
It wasn't until the ugly hour that the lights in the room went out.
Early the next morning, Fusu summoned the county commander and others.
He sat upright in the hall, and the magistrate sat on his side.
Fusu glanced at the county officials and said his plan directly.
"How many soldiers are there in the county now?"
The officials of Chencang County looked at each other, and Bai Fucai replied tremblingly:
"Chencang is not a border county, there is no soldier, only more than 500 servants."
Most of the servants were ordinary people who had not undergone systematic training.
Naturally, they are no match for those bandits.
In the silent urging of the county order and the county lieutenant, the county had to grit his teeth and speak,
"Why did Childe suddenly ask about this?"
"Oh, I'm going to lead the thieves to destroy them."
"Bang!"
The wine bottle in Bai Fu's hand didn't hold it steady for a while, and it fell to the ground.
He stood up and knelt on the ground with his old body propped up, and hurriedly persuaded while pleading guilty for the faux pas:
"Childe must not, the bandits are fierce, how can Childe be in danger."
Fusu didn't look up, playing with the copper bottle in his hand. Don't hurry up:
"The bandits are fierce, so they let the Chencang Granary be like a fictitious one?"
"It's the incompetence of the lower officials, and the lower officials are willing to apologize with death, but the son must not do this."
Bai Fu kowtowed again and again with his gray hair, and Fu Su couldn't bear it.
had to let Han Min forcibly pick him up.
The county lieutenant and the county magistrate had already followed the ground to plead guilty and persuade him.
In any case, I did not agree with the suppression of thieves by Fusu.
Bai Fu only knew how to humbly dissuade, but the county lieutenant did not think so.
He was young and vigorous when he was Fusu, and he was eager to prove himself by making meritorious contributions.
Therefore, I don't know what the situation is, so I claim to go to suppress the bandits.
In addition to being stubble, there is also a little more contempt.
It seems that the so-called Fusu Gongzi is just a waste of fame.
I'm no different from other people who sell their reputations.
Therefore, there are many inconsistencies between words.
"Childe is young, thinking that he can deal with the bandits in the mountains with soldiers in his hands."
"I don't know that bandits are like cunning rabbits, and they have terrain to rely on, and they are extremely ferocious."
"Where is it that a person as noble as Gongzi can deserve it."
Fusu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the contempt in the eyes of the county lieutenant.
The tone was still flat, "Then according to the county lieutenant, who made it." ”
"You, who are in charge of the security of Chencang, still have to transfer the army of the border county to eradicate the bandits who eat the people's ointment?"
"This ......," the county lieutenant choked for a moment.
"The subordinate officials are incompetent and know that they are guilty."
"But you can't watch Childe put his life at risk."
