The first batch of grain worth 200,000 taels was prepared in just one day, and as a sign of sincerity, they also paid 100,000 taels of silver.

I thought that everything would be fine when I returned to Xiami County.

But as soon as they and some of the people transporting grain entered the territory of Xiami County, they were stopped by a group of bandits.

At first, Li You said that he could pass by sending some money, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, what are you bandits doing with so much food? Can't finish eating, waiting for it to spoil? It's better to give some money, it's been like this in the past.

There are rules.

But the bandits were not determined to do so, and not only let them keep the money, but also let them go back to the county.

Li You keenly noticed that something was wrong and wanted to send someone back to report the news, but was discovered by the bandits.

They started directly, and the unsuspecting grain transport team was killed and wounded, if it weren't for Ma Yan knowing a small way, the two of them would probably have to explain where they were.

As for the grain that naturally fell into the hands of the bandits.

And the county town estimates that it has received the news, as for how the county town will choose... They don't know yet.

Food worth 200,000 taels of silver, Jiang Yang's heart is dripping blood, which is enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for half a year.

After hearing this, Jiang Yang was very angry.

And Li You whispered at this time: "My lord, that group of people.... There are people in the back. ”

"If you tell the county about this, can you send troops to exterminate them?" Jiang Yang asked stupidly in a moment of anger.

Sure enough, Li You looked at Li You as if he was looking at an idiot and said, "My lord, let's not talk about whether the officers and soldiers can encircle and suppress them when they come, just how can you let them take action?" How much does that cost...."

Hearing this, Jiang Yang's breath stagnated, yes, the current Datang is already full of moths, maintaining the glory on the surface.

If the commander of the army does not touch some oil and water, how can he promise you?

According to the procedure, it should be reported, and then troops should be sent to exterminate it, but what? There are many reasons why you don't want to send troops!

Besides, what about sending troops? This group of bandits plunged into the mountains, but they couldn't find it, and when the officers and soldiers withdrew, what would happen if they continued to come out?

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is currently a conscription system.

Most of the Tang Dynasty's heyday armies were stationed on the border.

In addition to the general government offices, there are only some county soldiers who stayed behind and the Praetorian Guards who guarded the Beijing Division.

The huge Xiami County has no troops.

Jiang Yang frowned and said, "I know." ”

"Don't be impulsive, sir." Li You grabbed Jiang Yang's arm and said: "Those people are deep-rooted, but they are not good enemies, I still think it is better to focus on talking, the adults promise benefits, they don't stop the adults from showing their ambitions, this matter is fine." ”

Jiang Yang nodded, but how did Li You know what the grand plan in Jiang Yang's heart was.

The Tang Dynasty was originally a government military system, but the magnates and scholars embezzled the land, resulting in an increase in the number of displaced people and deserters, but it was transformed into a conscription system with the efforts of Tang Xuanzong and Li Linfu.

And Jiang Yang's heart is to confiscate all the land and plan and divide it in a unified way, which is the lifeblood of those people.

So conflict is inevitable and irreconcilable.

Talk? No way! If you want to talk, you are merciful, and when they have given everything, you put a knife on their necks and talk about it.

After being a vampire for so many years, even if your ancestors had kindness, you should have been invited for several generations to ride on the heads of the people, right?

Just when Jiangyang was at a loss, he received a systematic urging to improve the county government as soon as possible and complete the task of "strengthening the army and the horse".

The so-called strong soldiers and horses are to expand the county government, don't think that a few people can support a county government, otherwise there will not be so many "bureaus" in the future.

In addition to the "armed forces" in their own hands and "catching fast", there must also be county officials, county lieutenants, and master books.

They all share the responsibility of the prefectural ordinance, and each person is responsible for a part, except for these formal establishments.

There are also officials, the so-called let you be clean like water, but you can't resist the officials as smooth as oil.

It's these people who are talking about, what do you say the county magistrate wants to implement a new policy? After thinking about it, explain it to the county, will the county be a dignified adult and run by himself?

To put it in layman's terms, those who run errands for them but are not prepared are called officials.

In Datang, this official is a sought-after profession, the father dies and the son inherits, except that it is not a formal job, it is a well-known golden job.

Jiang Yang had a general idea in his heart, this county is naturally the best for Li Youlai to be in charge, and this guy still has a little ink in his stomach.

The county lieutenant is in charge of Wen Guan, Jiang Yang is also interested in cultivating, and Ma Yan is in charge of the main book first, and as for the classic history, it must be Chen Zhiyong.

The other brothers also thought of some idle positions to arrange.

But there are still a lot of vacancies, not to mention anything else, you have to have this person who is responsible for sacrificing religion, and you have to have it if you are responsible for family planning and advocating everyone to get married and have children.

Don't look at the county government, it's really complete.

And Jiangyang also plans to recruit Xiang Yong.

The so-called Xiangyong is to train soldiers.

In the time of the government military system, the common people farmed when they were busy with farming, trained uniformly when they were slack, and even had to go to the border according to the time arrangement.

What should I do if I can't use it in many places? Your county government is responsible for its own training, and these people have no formal establishment, so they are called Xiangyong.

Although the Tang Dynasty switched to the conscription system, the Xiangyong system was not eradicated.

This is not a violation of Tang Law at all, and it will be found out and made irresponsible remarks.

The most important thing is that you have the ability to protect yourself.

Jiang Yang announced this matter to a group of brothers that afternoon, and it didn't mean anything to them for their appointment.

After all, if you don't understand anything, you naturally obey the arrangement of the eldest brother.

They just have to take care of their own business.

And the problem of food, Jiangyang has also decided, the current grain can last for half a month, and the wine has an income of 10,000 taels a day, and the hard support can still last until the end of the month.

There is no way to continue to eat at a high price, but you have to find another way to make money.

However, the matter of Xiangyong should be arranged well, Jiang Yang preliminarily decided to recruit a thousand Xiangyong, and Xiangyong also has money to get!

Two taels of silver a month!

Eat and live!

As for the camp, Jiang Yang planned to arrange them next to the river embankment, first, to let them blend in, and secondly, to let them have feelings for Xiami County.

After arranging everything, it was already dark, and Tang Yingcai came to report the situation on time.

Today's effect is really good, and more than 170 jars of 200 jars of wine have been sold.

This is also expected by Jiang Yang, after all, how many rich people can there be in Xiami County? How many people can afford it?

However, Tang Yingcai also said that he had notified the inns in other places, as well as wine merchants and wine dealers, and it was estimated that there would be good news in the next two days.

Today's income of more than 17,000 taels is also good news.

...........

Early the next morning, after Jiang Yang continued to arrange for the brothers to perform their duties, he took Wang Tong to the blacksmith shop in Xiami County.
