Zhang Yi bowed and saluted, and spoke.

"Wang Zhou Mu loves the people like a son, cares about the people, and asks the state pastor to decide"

"I am going to build a new market in the east of Jinyang City, I must have already known, since they have made a mistake, go over there to help build the market, register them one by one, do two months of hard labor, stay until the end of the year, and then put them back for the New Year, as a punishment, I don't know what to do with Mrs. Zhang's will."

After Wang Gang finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yi.

"This method is feasible, it not only punishes them, but also contributes to the construction of Jinyang"

Even Zhang Yi thinks this method is good, it is much better than directly beating or locking him up.

Wang Gang turned to the people kneeling on the ground again and said sternly.

"In broad daylight, you wantonly looted food, resulting in the death of dozens of people, and they should be beheaded according to the law. Thinking that you are also forced by life, this official will be lightly punished. But there will be a next time, and I will not be spared. Let you go and build a stone quarry now, and work as coolies for two months, and if you dare to run away without permission, the punishment will be doubled, and you will have complaints."

The people kneeling on the ground kowtowed and expressed their willingness to work as coolies for two months. After all, this can save a small life, and although it is a little tiring to be a coolie, there is something to eat.

"Get up," Wang Gang waved his hand, motioning for the soldiers next to him to put down their bows and crossbows, and let them get up.

Wang Gang looked at Lin Shu again, and Lin Shu's heart suddenly tightened. Knowing that his business is still gone.

"Since Lin Zhi came to intercede for them, then these people will be handed over to Lin Zhi for management, and Lin Zhi will be tired of Lin Zhi in the past two months, there are not enough people in the market, especially the scholars, Lin Zhi is in charge of the academic administration of a state, and there should be a lot of scholars under him, you might as well take some people to the market to help, do some things like keeping accounts, and then I will set aside a vacant land next to the market for the construction of Jinyang Academy"

Originally, Wang Gang said that he should bring some people to help build the market and some rejection, but when he heard Wang Gang's last sentence, a little resistance in his heart also disappeared. He was just an idler in the officialdom of Bingzhou, except for discussing knowledge with some scholars, that is, drinking and having fun. This kind of life is not what Lin Shu wants, he also has his own ambitions.

"The subordinates will not live up to the trust of the state pastor," Lin Shu gave a deep salute and left. Zhang Yi also saluted and left.

Han Hao looked at Wang Gang and had no intention of leaving, and muttered in his heart, could it be that there is something wrong with my county order, Wang Gang's method of handling things just now, he also saw it clearly, and he had to admire Wang Gang, who was so young and had such political skills. Especially that Lin Shu, who was sold by Wang Gang and helped count the money.

Seeing Wang Gang looking at him, Han Hao couldn't help but shudder.

"Han County Commander knows that there are many refugees in the city and the price of food is rising, which is easy to arouse public anger, why doesn't he patrol?"

Wang Gang took the lead and directly put the responsibility for the matter on Han Hao.

Even though Han Hao was calming down, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered at the moment. I don't know if Wang Gang really bothered him with this matter, or scared him.

"City ...... There are not enough people in the city, only the thief Cao has four hundred soldiers," Han Hao said stubbornly.

"Who is the county lieutenant of Jinyang County, why didn't you see him come with troops?"

"The county lieutenant took two hundred cavalry and escorted Ding Tingshi to Luoyang, and he has not returned."

This was what Wang Gang didn't expect, it turned out that Ding Yuan went to Luoyang not only to take away the other drivers of Bingzhou, but also to the county lieutenant of Jinyang. Wang Gang pondered for a while and said.

"Since the county lieutenant has gone to Luoyang, then the Han county order can be reappointed and dismissed, who can discuss with Zhang Taishou, if there is no annexation, I can transfer two hundred elite soldiers to you to stabilize the county seat of Jinyang"

"The lower officials obeyed. After this matter, I will go to Zhang Taishou to discuss," Han Hao hurriedly said.

Although the county lieutenant of Jinyang is a small official of two hundred stones, it is very important, and the balance of forces must be considered, after all, it is related to the safety of Jinyang, and he can lead four hundred county soldiers. And Wang Gang did not recommend his own candidates, but only put in two hundred soldiers, which can be regarded as a statement that he does not directly interfere in the personnel appointment and dismissal of Jinyang City, but for his safety, it is understandable to let some soldiers in.

Wang Gang glanced at the dozen or so bodies on the ground in the distance, and said with a sigh.

"Inform their families and bring these corpses back, although they are at fault, but the person is dead, there is no need to pursue it further, if the family is really in difficulty, give some money and food as appropriate"

As soon as Wang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Looking at Wang Gang's distant back, Han Hao couldn't see through this state pastor for a while, and at the same time, there were some new changes in his views on the state pastor.

What happened in the Deng family firm quickly spread throughout Jinyang. By the second day, it had spread all over the streets. The people were talking about the benevolence of the new state pastor, but the businessmen saw something different, such as: The governor did not blame the Deng family, but lost money to the Deng family, which was a disguised agreement to the rise in grain prices, and also revealed a signal, that is, doing business in Jinyang, if something happened, the government would be responsible, which was the biggest attraction to businessmen.

And today, the price of grain has not risen, whether it is the conscience of the businessman, or the matter of the Deng family yesterday, they are afraid that it will fall on their heads, and after the grain has risen to 500 yuan per rice, it has not risen again.

Today, however, two major events have occurred, which have once again become the focus of discussion in Jinyang City.

The first thing was that someone saw a large number of troops at the North City Gate, a few 10,000 people, and also carried a lot of grain, as well as cattle and sheep. The second thing is that there are a lot of refugees gathered in the eastern city of Luoyang, and they lined up in a neat queue outside the city, heading to the east, there are 30,000 people, and it takes two hours to leave the city gate.

At this time, Wang Gang was standing under the north city gate, and two war horses galloped towards him in the distance.

The people who came were Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and the two came to Wang Gang and knelt down on one knee.

"Big brother, general"

Wang Gang smiled and stepped forward to help the two up.

"You don't have to be polite to your own people. Thank you for your hard work" Wang Gang stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, turned his head to look at Gao Shun and said.

"It's been a year since Gao Duwei said goodbye. The last time I went to Yanmen Pass, I never saw it, I really missed it"

The last time Wang Gang went to Yanmen Pass, Gao Shun was still assisting in the defense of Qiangyin County.

"It's the last general who is incompetent, he failed to keep Dingxiang County, and he asked General Zhenbei to punish him" Thinking of Wang Gang handing over Dingxiang County to himself, but he failed to hold it, Gao Shun felt that he had no face to see Wang Gang, but now Wang Gang is already a general in Zhenbei and has become Gao Shun's boss, so he can only come to see Wang Gang hard.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, you have 700 soldiers trapped in the camp, resisting thousands of slaughter attacks for a month, which is already very good, but it is a pity that those warriors who are trapped in the camp, they are all good"

"Thank you for your understanding" Gao Shun was also very moved when he saw that Wang Gang did not blame him.

"Let Wen Yuan bring you over this time, it's mainly a matter of trapping the camp, you can re-select seven hundred soldiers from the Yanmen County soldiers and form a trapping camp, it's just weapons and armor, and it will take a while"

Wang Gang also knew that the trapped camp was all heavily armored and heavily shielded with steel guns. It is a little unrealistic to let him take it out now, Gao Shun has only trained 600 soldiers in Dingxiang County in the two years he has accumulated.

"Thank you, General" Gao Shun knelt down on one knee again and saluted Wang Gang, Wang Gang's trust in him made him unable to repay him.
