Zheng Lun is pessimistic.

As a magistrate, he can physically feel the breath of mountain rain before the war is coming.

also knew that Qin Tao was not lying.

A small county, but there are only a dozen officials below.

To deal with the locust-like people is simply a fantasy.

Zheng Lun suddenly felt at this moment that it was better to teach private school at home as this little magistrate.

That only fell into silence.

Alas!

If you have connections, why not!

"Brother Zheng, you're too worried."

Qin Tao was at ease.

Don't look at him at home every day, but he knows the current situation in front of him better than Zheng Lun.

"It's not that I'm too worried, it's a fact, it's right in front of me, and I can't let me believe it." Zheng Lun sighed.

Qin Tao looked out the door.

The afternoon sun fell on the bricks in the yard with white flowers.

In the corners of the yard, a few bushes of begonia flowers are planted.

Begonias are blooming brightly.

It's gratifying.

"You said that the mountain bandits and road thieves in our county, why do they stop being banned repeatedly?" Qin Tao seemed to be talking to himself.

However, his problem, if a hammer falls on Zheng Lun's heart.

Zheng Lun thought about it, but he didn't understand why Qin Tao asked like this.

He replied: "It's because the mountains and rivers in our county are poor, and some people don't have enough to eat. ”

Yes!

This is exactly the answer Qin Tao wants.

"Those mountain bandits are actually just farmers who don't have enough to eat, and they don't hesitate to take risks in order to solve their stomach problems."

"You know, once you enter the mountain, the bandit will never turn over, for a bowl of rice, is it cost-effective to carry your head to trade?"

Qin Tao asked rhetorically again.

Zheng Lun was speechless.

Even when he was at his most depressed, he was not so embarrassed.

There is no personal experience.

It is difficult to give a clear answer.

"There are about sixteen big landowners in our county, and I am one of them."

"It is we, the landlords, who have seized too much land, so that more people are starving."

"Death of starvation is also death, it is better to go into the mountains and be a bandit and have a chance of survival."

"So Zhu Dahai's cottage actually has its own reason for existence."

Zheng Lun has been listening carefully.

He seemed to understand the meaning of Qin Tao's words.

"Brother, do you want to say that I will be defeated by banditry?" That's how Zheng Lun understands it.

He has a Zhongjin sergeant, which means that he has a brain.

It can be seen that it is really not ordinary.

Qin Tao also means this.

"There are many mountain bandits, only Zhu Dahai's cottage is the largest, so I want to discuss with Brother Zheng and let Zhu Dahai unify the power of the mountain bandits."

Zheng Lun was taken aback.

The power of the mountain bandits has always been the biggest headache for the government.

It's too late to exterminate.

Not to mention what helped them unify.

It simply won't work.

In Zheng Lun's cognition, officials and bandits are in the same boat, and it is impossible to be in cahoots.

"No, never." Zheng Lun refused simply.

Qin Tao smiled.

Laughing meaningfully.

Seeing Qin Tao's smile, Zheng Lun suddenly realized that Qin Tao's words were not finished.

"Brother, do you still have something to say, don't sell it anymore, just tell me directly."

Zheng Lun wanted to hear Qin Tao's high opinions.

As long as it is advantageous for his official career, he will accept it.

"Lord Zheng, my Brother Zheng!"

When Qin Tao said the last key factor, he was a little bit close.

"Didn't you always want to destroy the mountain bandits in this county and make a meritorious service?"

"There's a great opportunity right in front of us."

Belch!?

The more Zheng Lun listened, the more confused he became.

Qin Tao clearly said just now that he wanted to help Zhu Dahai unify the power of the mountain bandits, why did he say that he wanted to exterminate them now.

Isn't that contradictory?

"Brother, brother, I'm old and slow to react, you can just say it directly, don't hang my appetite brother." Zheng Lun just wanted to understand what was going on.

Qin Tao said mysteriously: "Resist the bandits, unify the bandits, and destroy the bandits...... That's a thing! ”

"I still don't understand." Zheng Lun really felt that he was too stupid, and it was fundamentally Qin Tao's thinking.

He was anxious.

I want to know Qin Tao's high opinion.

See if it works.

"The Yiren may be approaching our county seat in the near future, and the top priority is to unify the bandits, which is not wrong." Qin Tao was not in a hurry, he spoke like eating, and he wanted to take one bite at a time.

"Seems right." Zheng Lun is not so sure.

Qin Tao said again: "Unified bandits, as the head of a county, there is no need for you to come forward. ”

"Yes!" Zheng Lun nodded heavily, he must not come forward.

If someone denounces him, his whole clan will have to move.

"Although Brother Zheng, you have an official position, and it is inconvenient for you to come forward, but you have to give Zhu Dahai a clear message." Qin Tao gradually attacked, small fire and slow attack.

Zheng Lun didn't know that he was going to get on Qin Tao's thief ship again.

"What message do you give them?" Zheng Lun was puzzled.

Qin Tao laughed heartily and said, "You just need to let out the wind and say that as long as you take refuge in Zhu Dahai, you will no longer ask for guilt in the future, and you can guarantee that they can get their own land." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy to do!" Zheng Lun still doesn't have that kind of courage.

Qin Tao's words were like a fire, and he himself was being roasted on the fire by Qin Tao.

"There's nothing to be difficult to do, as long as the landlord's land in our county is divided equally among everyone, the problem will be solved."

No longer giving Zheng Lun a chance to speak, Qin Tao was full of energy.

"Without the landlord, everyone will have a field, and every family will have a few acres of fertile land, at least they will no longer starve."

"Which of the mountain bandits doesn't want their wives and children to be hot on the kang!"

"With enough food, warm clothes, and a family of young and old, will they still be bandits?"

Qin Tao's analysis was like a lightning bolt in the dark night rain, which illuminated Zheng Lun's heart clearly in an instant.

"High!"

Zheng Lun gave a thumbs up.

"Resist the raiders, unify the bandits, divide the fields, and destroy the bandits...... Brother, you kill four birds with one stone! ”

"It's really high."

Zheng Lun was very happy.

That's it.

Tomorrow, I will send someone to secretly enter the mountain and release the news among the mountain bandits, as long as they take refuge in Zhu Dahai, they will no longer ask them for their crimes.

"After the disaster, everyone can go down the mountain safely, and with Zhu Dahai's certificate, they can get ten acres of fertile land." Zheng Lun immediately figured out what to do.

Qin Tao got up suddenly.

With his hands behind his back, Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "Brother Zheng, if you want to do this matter beautifully, then you will be promoted immediately." ”

Great work!

"Brother Zheng, I'm leaving, I have to buy some iron powder, and the manufacture of muskets must be accelerated, otherwise it will not be possible to rely on Brother Dahai to lead a group of bandits to swim bravely."

Zheng Lun took the lead and blocked in front of Qin Tao.

"Brother, you must stay and drink two glasses with me, I want to talk to you more, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of sage books."

"Hu Sheng, you come in."

"You send someone to help Qin Tao buy some iron powder, and personally send it to Qin Tao, the two of us will drink until we get drunk!"
