Chapter 67: A business trip

Ma Shuifeng ran away, and ran away without a trace, even his family didn't know where he went, Han Mu could only issue an arrest document, post one on the announcement wall in front of the county government gate and the city gate, and then send a few to the Assassin's Mansion and several nearby counties, asking them to cooperate with the arrest.

However, County Lieutenant Xue asked Han Mu not to have too much hope.

"Because of the floods, there are now many displaced people outside, and many counties are not strict about identity checks, so Ma Shuifeng can get through the customs with a little cover-up."

Han Mu: "Then check the neighbors and friends of Mr. Chen and Ma Shuifeng, you have to know what conflicts Ma Shuifeng and Mr. Chen have, and they have to harm people's lives?" ”

Lieutenant Xue should be lowered.

Han Mu handed over the matter to him, and when he saw Master Zhao at a glance, he immediately summoned someone over, "Master Zhao, you also have to be concerned about county affairs, why hasn't this inscription been carved for a few days?" ”

Master Zhao: "...... My lord, this is meticulous work, and the craftsman has been instructed to hurry up, and it has only been a few days, not so fast. ”

"Then organize people to go out and plow the ground and plant," Han Mu said: "Hurry up and sow the seeds that have been divided, you don't want to sway here and there all day long, you see that the whole county is so busy, are you embarrassed to be idle?" ”

There is no one more idle than Han Mu.

Master Zhao felt that he was asking him for trouble to make Gu Junruo angry, just because they had been a little unhappy with each other in the past two days.

So Master Zhao proposed: "My lord, it is the responsibility of the county order to persuade the agricultural order, and you need to go to such a major event as changing the agricultural order." ”

Han Mu frowned.

Gu Junruo on the side nodded when he heard this, "Yes, it is indeed your responsibility to persuade the nongsang, we have been in office for a long time, and it is time to go to the villages to see the situation." ”

Han Mu couldn't help but leaned into her ear and whispered, "We don't have any money." ”

Gu Junruo: "What does this have to do with money?" ”

"Why not, they are afflicted, and we go to see them, and we are not allowed to give anything?"

"You've already given out the alms."

"That'...... It's not much," Han Mu squirmed, "I still have to buy some things." ”

Gu Junruo thought for a while and said, "Bring some farm tools?" ”

She said: "Some families are poor and have no farming tools, but they have grain and farming tools, so farming is much more convenient and efficient." ”

Han Mu was stunned: "The farmers who farm the land don't even have farm tools?" Isn't this as as a soldier who goes to war without a sword? ”

Gu Junruo: "But it's true. ”

Han Mu covered his chest, "My people are so poor. ”

Gu Junruo and He Ziyou looked at him together, waiting for him to decide.

Han Mu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Just go, just boost morale at that time." ”

Gu Junruo smiled and nodded.

"But we have to make money," Han Mu and the two of them said: "We can't sit back and eat empty, my people are so poor, and the county government is so poor......"

Just thinking about it turns black right in front of your eyes.

Gu Junruo: "Ask for money from the Assassin Mansion." ”

He Ziyou: "Otherwise, it's better to write back to the capital and ask for another sum of money." ”

"You're right, the Assassin Mansion always has to make money, and our Yixian County is also a part of Jiangling Mansion," Han Mu said: "I also have to ask my father for another sum of money, and the right should be the capital to make money." ”

"Money?" He Ziyou asked, "Do you want to do business?" ”

"In addition to doing business, what else can you do to get money quickly?"

He Ziyou touched his chin and said, "Robbing the house? ”

Han Mu's eyes lit up, and he was happy: "Suppress bandits!" ”

Gu Junruo poured a basin of cold water on them, "The bandits in Yixian County are all people who can't survive and go up the mountain and fall into the grass, what can you pull out of it?" And do you have soldiers? ”

Han Mu didn't think about it and said, "Isn't the checkpoint thirty miles away from Yixian County garrisoning the Chuzhou garrison?" ”

Gu Junruo: "The general of the garrison is called Jiang Xin. ”

Han Mu: "...... This name is so familiar that it's disgusting, this Jiang Xin shouldn't be the Jiang Xin we thought it was, right? ”

He Ziyou shook his head again and again, indicating that he didn't know.

Gu Junruo broke their illusions, "It is the second master of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Jiang Huai's second uncle Jiang Xin." ”

He Ziyou looked at Han Mu with a sympathetic expression, "No wonder the Jiang family will insist that you come to Yi County, it turns out that Jiang Xin is a general here." ”

"Chuzhou is under the jurisdiction of Jiangling Mansion, he has been an official here for many years, he has military power, and his friendship with Xu Tingshi is not shallow, no wonder you have failed to apply for funding several times." He Ziyou sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Otherwise, you should let Shibo find a way to transfer you back, you will have no way to survive like this." ”

Han Mu gritted his teeth and said, "I won't leave!" ”

Gu Junruo nodded, "This is exactly what I want to tell you today, many of the bandits in the mountains and forests of Yixian County and several nearby counties are people of Yixian County, we don't suppress bandits, it doesn't mean that Jiang Xin doesn't suppress them." ”

Han Mu: "So? ”

"Can't be cheaper," Gu Junruo said: "Send an announcement, let the officials and the local government take the gong to ring at the foot of the mountain, and tell them that the county government is not to blame for the past, let them go down the mountain and go home, and they can receive relief food and grain seeds from the An family." ”

"The deadline is one month, and after one month, all those who remain in the mountains will be dealt with as bandits, and we will definitely send troops to suppress the bandits at that time."

He Ziyou: "We don't have soldiers." ”

Han Mu and Gu Junruo looked at him with disdain, "This is a scare word. ”

Gu Junruo: "For a county, the most important thing is not money, but people, as long as there are people, there will be vitality and money." ”

"We can't give Jiang Xin and us a chance to rob people." Because Han Mu would definitely not be able to rob them.

Han Mu responded, "Okay, I'll let people do it immediately, isn't Master Zhao having nothing to do, and often go to Zeng's house?" Let him do it. ”

Hmph, let's go out together.

Gu Junruo has no opinion.

He Ziyou is even more gone.

As a result, the county government suddenly lost the county order, the county order's wife and the chief bookkeeper, and only one Xue county lieutenant was left to investigate the case, and he had to take charge of county affairs part-time as the county commander and the chief bookkeeper.

Xue County's head is about to go bald.

The road is not easy to walk, so Gu Junruo also rides a horse and is reluctant to take a car.

Riding on the horse, you can see the fields on both sides of the road, and you can see that the fields are still full of water, and the scattered farmers are releasing water along the ridges, putting the water into the ditches, or flowing down the fields piece by piece, and finally to the road and then to the ditches.

Gu Junruo frowned when he saw it, "There was only one rain the day before yesterday, and it wasn't heavy, why is there still so much water?" ”

"Didn't you just pass the flood?"

"No, the flood was a month ago, and it stands to reason that the water should have gone down, and the speed at which the land absorbs water is amazing," Gu Junruo looked up along the ditch, "I have forgotten to ask about the situation of the river." ”

"It's simple," Han Mu turned around and shouted to the back, "Duan Jishi, Liu Kuan!" ”

Duan Ji and Liu Kuan immediately waded into the water and trotted up, and saluted, "My lord." ”

Han Mu pointed to those fields and asked, "Why is there still so much water in the fields?" ”

Duan Ji only glanced at it and said: "It must be that Chen Guo upstream has released water again, I heard that Chen Guo upstream has been raining heavily for two days in a row, and the river water has overflowed again." ”
