Chapter 1578: Negotiation Failed
Hong Haishan came in, there must have been something to report, and Luo Chong drove Wei Ran away.
"Lord Liu's secret messenger is here again. β
Hong Haishan said: "But this time, he made a request to have an interview with you, saying that the wind in Guangling is very tight, and you can't communicate by letter anymore, so as not to fall into the trap." β
"Okay, bring him in. Luo Chong nodded in agreement.
Soon, Liu Mingtang's henchman messenger came in, about thirty years old, with an ordinary face, but a pair of eyes that were shrewd.
This time, on behalf of Liu Mingtang, he confirmed to Luo Chong whether he was fully sure that he would be able to quell the chaos, after all, if Liu Mingtang sat in the position of commander in such an extraordinary period, the pressure he would be under was also very great, which could be said to be like gambling.
Luo Chong's answer was only five words: dare to make a military order!
Dare to stand, you don't need to really stand, just tell him, you are completely sure, there will be no mistakes, you can do whatever you should do in Guangling, you don't have to have any worries.
The messenger thanked him and departed.
It seems that Liu Mingtang has been promoted to commander, which is a matter of the last few days. The original commander could not control the situation, and the momentum of the rebellion became more and more powerful, and the court was so disappointed in his ability that it would inevitably replace him.
In dealing with this kind of thing, the efficiency of the imperial court is still very fast, and the temporary appointment letter can be delivered in two days at the latest.
As soon as the messenger left, Uncle Feng came, and Luo's mother, sister-in-law and Luo Xiu'er of course had to come out to accompany him.
"Move, do you really dare to come to the thief?"
Okay, Uncle Feng asked the same thing.
Don't talk about him, Luo's mother and sister-in-law will also ask, but they haven't found an opportunity yet, for fear of disturbing Luo Chong's office.
To them, Luo Chong will not say those big truths, naturally it is another explanation: "My cavalry was released twice, only counting the heads of more than 500 people, not counting the guerrilla cavalry shooting, how many casualties caused by coming and going, they suffered heavy casualties, and naturally knew that our Guangling Town was a difficult bone to gnaw." Besides, they weren't really strong enough to crush Cheng DΓΉ, so they naturally chose to avoid it. β
"Okay, move. β
Uncle Feng gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Brother Luo really gave birth to a tiger, and he will definitely become a generation of famous generals in the future." β
Luo Chong hurriedly expressed his modesty, Luo's mother and sister-in-law were so beautiful on the side, and if they wanted to be subtle, they couldn't hold back their smiles.
No matter how bold the rebels are, the emperor is not afraid, but he is afraid of this little tiger of my family!
However, Uncle Feng then said worried: "Open the city gate so early, what if there are spies who sneak in and fight thieves, don't be deceived by them, you still have to be careful." β
"Yes, Uncle Feng, there is indeed some vigilance in this regard. β
Luo Chong saw that he liked to meddle so much, so he said: "Uncle Feng is so good, just come out and do things, I am planning to set up a security office, Uncle Feng will be the sheriff, and there are dozens of people under him, specializing in cracking down on the evil deeds of evil people in the town, and whoever has two in-laws can take care of the quarrel." β
Uncle Feng understands that this sheriff has more power than the chief arrester in the county, and he must be very powerful in the eyes of the people.
Seriously, he is really a little tempted, but he feels that he is getting older, and he is afraid that he will miss Luo Dong's things.
"That's a good idea. β
Luo's mother agrees, she still has some understanding of her father-in-law, she is quite enthusiastic, affectionate and righteous, and she is also quite upright, which is indeed very suitable for the position of sheriff.
The sister-in-law also said: "Dad, you just agree, the little brother trusts you so much, don't let him down." Besides, when you are the sheriff, we feel at ease when we go out, don't we?"
Hearing this, Uncle Feng was even more moved, the father's desire to protect his daughter will never be eliminated, no matter when.
In the end, he nodded happily and agreed: "Okay, while I'm not old and confused, then do something for our town." β
Luo Chong is sure that he has no problem doing this, he can get a copy of the public security regulations by himself, and he can lead some people to implement them, and this position must be serious and fair, and he has both of them.
Once this matter is decided, the happiest person is none other than my sister-in-law, my father can still be an official when he is old, and he has value for a lifetime, and after a hundred years, he will not have any regrets.
The next day, the security office was established, and Luo Chong temporarily seconded ten people from the new barracks to Uncle Feng, so that he would not be the commander of the bachelor as soon as he came up, as for the other subordinates, it was up to Uncle Feng to find out by himself.
The office is located in Qianhu Yamen, anyway, Luo Chong doesn't go to that place often, and there will definitely be no shortage of funds, so it depends on him what he can do.
At noon that day, Ma Hanzi led the team back, fifty people when he left, and fifty-two people when he returned, so naturally he brought back the two who were injured last time, after all, the rebel army avoided the east, and there was no pressure on the territory of Guangling Town.
This time, only more than 230 heads were brought back, nearly 100 fewer than last time. The reason is not only that the thieves left, but also because they also know how to learn and evolve, and they also have some means to deal with cavalry harassment, and it is much more difficult for them to cut off people's heads.
"My lord, do you want to continue?"
Ma Hanzi volunteered: "The subordinates are not tired, and they can fight again." β
"No need. β
Luo Chong shook his head: "Rest for a few days, sort out the combat experience of these two times, and then teach it to each pro-soldier, and you will be the chief instructor." β
"Whoa!"
Ma Hanzi was not disappointed, and felt that being the chief instructor was also quite majestic and enjoyable.
Luo Chong's next sentence made him feel even more enjoyable, because Luo Chong turned his head to his first deputy, Hong Haishan, and said lightly: "You also have to go to the class!"
"Whoa!"
Hong Haishan was stunned, and then took the order.
"Hong Tou'er ......"
Ma Hanzi squeezed his eyes at him, meaning: This time, you have to listen to my control! Come, call the chief instructor to listen first......
The gates were opened, the barracks and horse farms were allowed to continue to be used, and the training of recruits was restored to normal. In addition, the brick kilns and sand fields outside the town have been restored, and the lumberjacks have also gone out, and the speed of housing construction in the town will inevitably increase several times.
There were too many things, and the stewards under Mayor Han couldn't be busy at all, so Luo Chong took out Xie Zhiyuan, who was almost in good health, and asked him to work beside Mayor Han.
Needless to say, how accurate Luo Chong's vision is for people, this Xie Zhiyuan has a flexible brain, hone it well, he will definitely be a good government minister in the future, and a basic post like Guangling Town is just the beginning.
Everyone was very busy, and Luo Chong was embarrassed to be lazy, so he worked in the yamen until the evening, and then returned home.
As soon as she entered the house, Luo Xiu'er came over and said, "That female assassin said she wanted to see you." β
Luo Chong snorted and sat lazily in the chair, without moving half of his buttocks.
"You're not going?"
Luo Xiuer asked in a low voice.
Luo Chong glared: "You can see if you want, she is a prisoner, and I am a prisoner?"
Luo Xiu'er nodded, turned around and walked away, but she was secretly happy in her heart: You are not rare her, I am even happier.
It wasn't until before going to bed at night that Luo Chong went to the next room and appeared in front of the female assassin.
"How long are you going to lock me up?"
The female assassin sat on the ground, there was not even a cushion under her buttocks, she was arrested for several days, and ordinary people would have been sick with a cold, but after all, she had a high level of internal force to protect her body, even if she could not call it, but she still supported her body functions at all times.
"What's the matter with you?"
Luo Chong looked at her condescendingly and asked coldly.
"You're locked up with me, why isn't it my business?"
The female assassin was still a little unconvinced.
"How long will it be for you, this is my question, what is your business?" Luo Chong patiently explained this logical relationship.
The female assassin turned her face sideways in anger, but in less than two seconds she turned back and was imprisoned for a few days, and her face did not change much, but added a morbid beauty.
"I want to make a deal with you. β
She spoke again, with a solemn expression, as if she was about to tell some secret: "If you let me go, I can tell you a secret." β
And so it was!
"Don't want to know. β
Luo Chong's expression did not move: "I'm not interested." β
The female assassin frowned, feeling that she couldn't grasp the slightest initiative at all, so she could only reveal slightly: "Have you heard of the legend about the hating treasure of King Weiwu before his death in the previous dynasty?"
"That's it?"
Luo Chong raised his eyebrows: "A treasure news that catches the wind and shadows, just want me to let you go, this is a strict contempt for my IQ, from tomorrow, the food will be halved, starve you to skin and bones, let others see what a pink skeleton is, hungry without that layer of meat, in fact, they are all the same." β
"You ......"
The female assassin patiently continued: "You should be a person with great ambitions, and in these troubled times, if you have enough financial resources, it is not impossible to win the world, and the force I represent can also fully support it. β
"The food is halved again. β
Luo Chong snorted: "If you want to talk to me, you have to show sincerity honestly, and you still want to play those little cleverness, I'm sorry, you chose the wrong object." β
When the words fell, he turned around and left.
"Wait!"
The female assassin hurriedly shouted, "What the hell do you want me to do?"
"There are so many things that I haven't thought about it. β
Luo Chong replied, "When you are fishing, do you consider the feeling of the bait?"
And then it went out.
"Bait?"
The female assassin laughed miserably: "I never realized that the bait was so pathetic, so pitiful. β
In the courtyard, Luo Chong saw Luo Xiu'er standing in front of the bathhouse, still waiting for him, and the large wooden basin inside was already full of hot water.
"Negotiations failed. β
Luo Chong walked into the bathhouse and removed his robe.
"Is she hard?"
Luo Xiuer obviously misunderstood.
"It's her who failed!"
Luo Chong turned around and knocked on her head: "It must be that Mr. is incompetent and has taught you to be more and more stupid." β
Luo Xiuer hid outside the door with a little grievance, turned her back to him, waited for him to take off his clothes and soak in the bathtub, and whispered to argue: "Mr. taught very well, but I was too stupid." β
Oh, it turned out to be a defense for the teaching gentleman, afraid that Luo Chong would dismiss people unreasonably.
"It doesn't matter if you're stupid, you can learn to be bad, ruthless, selfish, don't always think about others, then it's possible to succeed in calculating someone smarter than you, as long as he is kinder than you. β
Luo Chong taught her the principles of being a human being, but are these human principles......
