"Mr. Ning, there's a letter from the general."

Ning Changrong took the letter in the soldier's hand and walked over to a place where no one was there and opened it.

It begins with the words, "The fish has taken the bait." ”

The recent situation is written in detail.

After reading it, Ning Changrong sat back in his seat and replied.

"Do what you planned."

This is the strategy that Ning Changrong discussed with Chang Yuan before leaving, the gunpowder has appeared, and it must soon spread to all parties, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to sit still, and will find ways to investigate, the way they want to investigate is very simple, if they send someone directly, the target is too big, and the two spies who have been sent over will definitely be reactivated.

As he expected, not long after he left, the two traitors were reconnected by the imperial court, and they were given a task to find out what gunpowder was, and it was best to get the formula.

But the court didn't know that the two traitors had taken refuge in them, Liu Yongguang and Yan Guang had settled in Brother Zhang's village, where they were working in the same team, and after the people of the court found them, the two pretended to agree according to Ning Changrong's previous instructions, and then secretly found Chang Yuan while they were working, and explained the matter.

When Chang Yuan learned about it, he immediately sent a letter to Ning Changrong, the formula of gunpowder must not be given, and two ordinary spies can get the formula of gunpowder casually, no matter how stupid the court is, they can't believe it!

According to Ning Changrong's original plan, Liu Yongguang and Yan Guang were asked to delay for ten days and half a month and gave them some half-truths and half-truths, such as gunpowder was very scarce, for example, the gunpowder storage place was tightly guarded, and outsiders couldn't get close at all, and the two of them couldn't get the formula.

In the end, the address of a suspected gunpowder storage point was also given, which was Taoyuan Village.

The former is fake, while the latter is indeed true.

Taoyuan Village is so tightly defended, as long as someone has a heart to carefully scrutinize it, you can know where it is, but even if you tell them the location, they have no way, there has long been a dense defense, unless a large number of troops are sent to attack, it is possible to attack, otherwise only a few people don't want to go up? It's hard to climb.

In order to prevent those people and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, they made up a message that gunpowder is relatively scarce and difficult to make.

After the court learned of the scarcity of gunpowder, although it was not possible to get the formula for the time being, it was not so anxious, but the attention to Liu Yongguang and the two of them increased a lot, after all, the two also gave a detailed address of the gunpowder production place, and the difficulty of making information about the scarcity of gunpowder, in general, it is still somewhat useful.

Even Liu Yongguang's superiors took the initiative to give them ten taels of silver, you must know that they only gave one or two taels of silver before. The rest of the expenses are all earned by the two of them.

And before coming, he promised the two of them that he would give the family a settling-in fee, Yan Guang didn't have a family here, and he didn't give it, but Liu Yongguang has a family, and his sister is still over there, but after his sister was taken over, Liu Yongguang personally went to ask his sister, and the other party didn't know what the settling-in fee was.

After hearing this, Liu Yongguang was even more glad that they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

After Liu Yongguang's sister was sent to pick her up, she immediately settled in the village next to Liu Yongguang's residence.

It's not that he can't be arranged with him, it's just to prevent someone from the court from finding out that something is wrong when someone in the court comes to Liu Yongguang.

After all, on the side of the imperial court, Liu Yongguang's sister's family is dead, although they haven't seen Liu Yongguang's sister's family either, but just in case, it's better to separate.

And externally, he also called this family his godsister.

Liu Yongguang doesn't feel aggrieved, in this era of war, it's good that the family can live peacefully.

……

After Ning Changrong came to Jinzhou, he and Bai Yunliang began to govern without sleep.

The people of Jinzhou have a lot of hatred for them, or it took Ning Changrong a long time to get these people to let go of their hatred, and the reason why these people hate them is nothing more than the wars and disasters they brought to them.

Ning Changrong knew that these people didn't believe them, and from the mouths of those displaced people who had fled to Taixi County before, he knew that in the propaganda of the Hundred Imperial Court, Chang Yuan had already become a demon who did all kinds of evil.

There are even rumors that Chang Yuan eats three dolls at a time, and only eats the kind that has just been full moon.

When Ning Changrong and Bai Yunliang arrived, they discussed it and formulated specific policies, they didn't rush to clarify what they were like, as long as these people had eyes, they would see it themselves.

Ning Changrong organized the soldiers into several groups and patrolled the city day and night to maintain law and order.

When encountering ruffians who fish in troubled waters and rob houses, they are directly dragged to prison.

Other than that, there was no harassment of the people of these cities.

Even soldiers were sent to put on a show.

Let a soldier pretend to be drinking, drunk and drunk and want to eat white food in the wine shop, and then happened to be bumped into by Ning Changrong who was patrolling, and directly dealt with him on the spot. Since then, the people in the city have spread the word about this incident, and everyone's trust in them has gradually increased.

At the very least, the imperial court will not dispose of a soldier who eats white food, and will even take the soldier to eat and drink with him, and take it in his pocket.

No matter what the people think, at least those merchants have a better and better impression of Chang Yuan's group.

Although they still have to pay commercial taxes, which are even higher than before, they don't have to pay some miscellaneous taxes in addition to commercial taxes.

And if they encounter any trouble, they can directly call the soldiers on patrol to help them solve the problem, as long as they can stand on their feet, those soldiers will definitely support them.

There are no land scoundrels who dare to extort again, although the commercial tax is high, but the overall money to be paid is still less, or even safer.

The merchants in the city have a great affection for this group of people in just one month.

……

"Sure enough, your method is more effective." Bai Yunliang and Ning Changrong walked on the street to inspect, and all the stalls were opened one after another, and everyone saw that these thieves in the city really didn't seem to do anything to them, and they had the pressure of livelihood, so they had to open the door tentatively.

Bai Yunliang originally wanted to catch a few evils to behead them, just like Chang Yuan killed Hu Dadao and his gang before, and made the decisions for the people, and stood with the people.

But in fact, at that time, the rich and powerful people in the city had already run away, where was there any evil for them to arrest? And even if those small fish and shrimp are killed, it will not have much effect, after all, these people are still willing to stay, but they are not unable to live by Huohuo, so the hatred for those people will not be too much.

That's why Ning Changrong came up with the play.

Of course, he rehearsed not only that play, but also more scenes, but they were all similar, and not all of them were the scenes where he found the violating soldiers, but also the scenes where the soldiers' superiors found out and the soldiers' colleagues reported.

The goal is to show these people that they are a disciplined team.

And those soldiers who play bad guys also have a subsidy, although they have been beaten a few boards in public, but they are not actually killed, and they still have something on their buttocks. After being beaten, there was still money to take, and everyone was happy to do it.
