Chapter 17: Quicksand Village

At present, Jiang Changan does not have a building with a bonus similar to the academy in his hands, but the Gu family obviously doesn't care about this.

The next morning, with the help of Zhang Juzheng, he recruited his first batch of students, a total of ten people, all of whom were about ten years old.

A group of people sat casually on the edge of the square, and Gu began to teach and recite the Sanzi Sutra, and the sound of reading aloud covered the entire village.

Jiang Changan went straight to the barracks after getting up today, there were not many men in Chang'an Village, and all the queues were registered in one afternoon.

In the barracks, Chang Yuchun was training recruits, and the young general Chen Ran was guarding the door.

"How did you recruit yesterday?"

Chen Ran saw Jiang Changan coming, and replied with a salute.

"Back to my lord, a total of more than 80 people were recruited yesterday, and they are training in the field."

Jiang Changan nodded and motioned for him to continue, looking at the situation today, about twenty people can be recruited, with one hundred recruits plus Chen Ran's team and the beginning of the village brave, the strength has already exceeded one hundred and fifty people.

Jiang Chang'an checked the rankings last night, and with the increase in soldiers and the progress of infrastructure construction, it suddenly jumped from more than 200 to more than 30.

If you can successfully upgrade the intermediate village, I believe that this ranking will directly rank in the top ten or even the top five all at once.

Habitually wandered around the village, and was about to go to the warehouse to see the remaining supplies.

The barracks suddenly rushed to a villager to deliver a message.

"My lord! The three teams of scouts you sent are back! ”

When Jiang Changan heard this, the drowsiness of Hui Langjue was gone, and he immediately woke up when his eyes widened.

"After four days of waiting, it's finally here!"

"Let them come to my house, and by the way, invite Mr. Zhang over, hurry!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Changan emptied the table in the room, and the three scouts had arrived.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Hurry up, please get up, you don't have to be formal in the village, come and sit!"

The three of them were a little trembling at first, but they still sat down under Jiang Changan's repeated orders.

Not long after, Zhang Juzheng also came to the house, and Jiang Changan immediately asked.

"This is Mr. Zhang in the village, and he is managing all matters!"

"Tell me about your results for the past few days!"

The men glanced at each other, and the scout sitting in the middle spoke.

"Then the last general, Li Jiu, will come first!"

After Li Jiu finished speaking, he took out a carefully rolled album from his arms and spread it out on the table.

"The last general is going to the south, please see, lord!"

"Six or seven miles to the south is a big river, and there is a stone bridge on the big river to go on."

"After crossing the bridge, and then go to the southwest direction for about ten miles, there is a mountain, this mountain is called Liusha Mountain, and under the mountain is the official road of Yongliang."

"There is a natural village at the foot of the mountain called Liusha Village, and I found out in the village that there is a Liukou cottage named Liusha Village on the quicksand mountain!"

"The scale of this quicksand village is very large, and there are many rogues, and the people in the village say that the official money is often robbed by the rogues, and the people under the mountain have suffered for a long time."

"This mountain is under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, but it is useless for the villagers of Liusha Village to go to Wuwei County to report to the officials many times."

"The food, money, women and even children in the village are often taken by the people of the quicksand village and never come back."

"The others are that there are six or seven Inhuman villages in the south, and the scale is not as good as Chang'an Village!"

After listening to Li Jiu's narration, Jiang Changan was angry and slapped it on the table.

"How can it be!"

"This Wuwei County and Liusha Village are at odds, and it only takes two or three hours from Wuwei County to Liusha Village to arrive, but they ignore it and make Liusha Village sit so big!"

"Is this Wuwei County full of in its head!"

Jiang Changan opened his mouth and scolded, when he came to this world, every ordinary person was flesh and blood for Jiang Changan.

Thinking that if there was a cottage behind Chang'an Village, and the people would be slaughtered as fish and meat, Jiang Chang'an's heart was like oil rolling over.

Zhang Juzheng's face was also extremely gloomy, the most fundamental point of his governance was to put the people first, and he was also full of anger when he heard Li Jiu's description.

"Don't worry, the collusion of officials and thieves is not a new thing, let's listen first, and then think about how to deal with it."

Zhang Juzheng was calm and thoughtful, and Jiang Changan sat down slowly after listening.

The scouts to the west quickened their reporting, and found a valley overgrown with weeds and snakes to the west, about five or six miles away.

The side of the valley is the back of the Tianshan Mountains, and through the valley, more than ten miles further, he found one of the tribes of the Qiang tribe!

The scouts did not dare to stay too long, the Qiang people were extremely precautionary, and the cavalry patrols were very dangerous.

Jiang Changan nodded and motioned for the scouts in the east to continue reporting.

The scouts from the east went all the way to the direction of Wuwei County, and found nothing abnormal, but he ran all over the twenty-kilometer radius of Wuwei County.

Fortunately, this horse was the black horse that was snatched from the Qiang tribe, and the feet were fast, and the scout could report with the other two.

In the east, ten Inhuman villages were discovered, the largest of which was Beiliang Village, a village at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the east!

According to the scouts, the population of the village is approaching 200 people, and it is beginning to take shape.

After the three of them finished reporting, they put the topographic map they drew on the table and returned to the barracks to report, leaving only Jiang Changan and Zhang Juzheng in the room.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Changan spoke first.

"What do you think, sir?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned, squinted and stroked his goatee for a while and said.

"The danger of the quicksand village must be lifted, and the quicksand village must be saved, and the villagers' reverence for the lord will reach a new height."

"Therefore, the benefit of attacking the quicksand village is the largest, and the quicksand village has not noticed us yet, and the effect of the surprise attack is still there."

"But we only know one name now, and we don't know how many people and weapons there are in the quicksand village, and there are many variables for rash attacks."

Zhang Juzheng sighed and continued.

"But if we attack the Inhuman Village, the two directions of the bandits and the county will definitely put pressure on us."

"The county order will not allow the surrounding villages to be large enough to compete with him, and the quicksand village will also be vigilant, which is very unfavorable to our army's follow-up attack on the quicksand village."

"It's not my forte to fight, so I can only ask the lord to think twice about this decision!"

Jiang Chang'an was also weighing in his heart when Zhang Juzheng was talking, whether it was attacking the Inhuman Village or the quicksand village, the benefits would be very high.

But as Zhang Juzheng said. If you attack the quicksand village, it will be too dangerous without knowing it, and if you are not careful, this bit of family foundation in Chang'an Village will be gone.

However, if you attack the Inhuman Village, it will inevitably alarm the surrounding forces, including other surrounding Inhuman villages.

If this decision continues, it is equivalent to deciding a trend in Liangzhou in the future, and Jiang Changan has to seriously think about every step clearly.

The two of them sat in a daze in the room, deducing the results of different choices in their minds.

After another moment, Jiang Changan seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a gleam in his eyes and said.

"Has the gentleman already had a plan?"

Zhang Juzheng also looked at Jiang Changan and nodded cautiously.

Jiang Changan took the kettle from the side, poured some water on the table, raised his eyes and said slowly.

"I believe in myself, and I believe in Mr."

"Attacking the village or attacking the village, Mr. and I wrote it on the table together, if it is the same, this is the future offensive strategy of my Chang'an Village!"

Zhang Juzheng knew what this choice meant for Chang'an Village, and nodded silently.

The two dipped their fingers in water and tacitly began to write on the table!
