Chapter 491: The Silence of the Crowd

Many people miss their families like Liu Zhang, and they thought that there would not be much war in winter.

This crazy invasion of the Xiongnu caused more than 10,000 casualties of the Han army.

The Huns are even more miserable, how many people will die, maybe this time they can give the Huns a heavy blow.

"Mingfujun, it's a little cold outside, you might as well go inside and rest."

A flint chief advised Liu Zhang to enter the house and rest, he had worked too hard these days.

Liu Zhang felt that his body was recovering quickly, and now he did not feel the slightest tiredness.

"Well, if there's an emergency, let me know in time."

Liu Zhang didn't insist anymore, he could better chat with his family when he entered the house.

Presumably, there will be no enemy attack tonight, so leave the rest to those Han troops.

Early the next morning, Liu Zhang led the Han army back to the city of Failure.

The city was built smoothly and much faster than before.

The sinners and prisoners were highly motivated, and their treatment improved considerably during this time.

The officials and Han soldiers who were in charge of those people did not urge, and they also felt a lot more relieved.

Everyone gets some points, and they eat enough for three meals a day.

You can also dress messily, and you can redeem all kinds of clothes and food on the points redemption list.

Especially the food, which looks really delicious.

Some people are reluctant to exchange their points, and they plan to exchange their points for money.

There were several kinds of wine on the points list, and those Hun captives liked to drink.

As long as they don't delay their work, a few of them exchange their points for some wine and snacks.

"It seems that they are highly motivated to work, how is the exchange of points for items recently?"

Liu Zhang asked Cui Yuan about some basic information, and he didn't know if anyone was making trouble here during this time.

"They are very active these days, and they occasionally exchange their points for some wine and food. Most people exchange points for money, and there are no accidents here these days. ”

Cui Yuan said this, and Liu Zhang was much more relieved.

"During this time, you should send some more people to watch, so that other Huns will not get involved. In the past few days of fighting against the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have lost tens of thousands, and Yi Zhixian may be so angry that he will be thunderous. ”

You must know that the equipment of these Huns is not bad, and Yi Zhixian is equivalent to a desperate bet.

Give these Xiongnu the good things of other tribes and let them take the land west of the river.

It's a pity that the plan of the Xiongnu did not succeed and led to the annihilation of the entire army.

What's the use of Yi Zhixian being angry, he can't personally bring people over to attack.

"A shoe must have returned to the royal court, and he won't come in person."

There were a few generals among the Huns who could fight, and a few of those Hun kings were defeated in the hands of Liu Zhang.

"Although the Huns will not attack on a large scale, it is still necessary to be vigilant."

In the past few days, everyone has been fighting against the Huns, and everyone has been working hard.

Due to the high level of security before, the territory was not lost.

Although there were many casualties, it played the military prestige of the Han Dynasty.

The Xiongnu probably didn't care about losses, and anyway, they didn't harm the interests of those Xiongnu nobles.

The casualties were ordinary Huns, and when the weather warmed up, they would also loot the Han border.

"Wuwei County needs to increase the number of defenders, and I will write a note to the imperial court and report the situation here to the imperial court."

Then troops were mobilized from the surrounding counties, and now there are only more than 15,000 Han troops in Wuwei County with combat effectiveness.

There are also thousands of Han soldiers recuperating from their wounds, and they cannot participate in the battle while they are healing.

The Xiongnu may also invade again, and Liu Zhang and they have to guard against it.

"You think very carefully, the Xiongnu may invade again, and they will not give up until they achieve their goal."

These Huns were stubborn, and a little loss would not make them back down.

"Let's go see the people who built the city."

Liu Zhang came here today to see those who are working and ask them what else they need?

He considered having a number of sinners and conscripts form temporary patrols before the troops of the surrounding counties were mobilized.

In order to supplement the problem of insufficient manpower of the Han army, as for those prisoners, they will not be considered for the time being.

If they were used, they might join the rest of the Huns.

This will cause greater losses to Wuwei County, and Liu Zhang will not only have to be responsible for himself.

He is also responsible for the officials of the Wuwei Army and the Han Army, and today he will write a note to report the matter to the imperial court.

"Hades-kun has come to see us."

The crowd cheered excitedly, since Liu Zhang took office.

Their treatment has improved a lot, and they are extremely grateful to Liu Zhang.

They heard that there had been a war around Wuwei County recently, and they hadn't seen Liu Zhang in the past few days.

I'm really worried that something will happen to him, so that their treatment will return to the original state.

"You've worked hard, it looks like you've been looking pretty good lately."

Liu Zhang saw that their spirits were not as weak as before, and they seemed to be fatter.

Building a city is a very tiring and dangerous thing, Liu Zhang looked at everyone.

Make sure they are not being bullied, and if there are any officials in his jurisdiction who are corrupt and bribery.

He would never tolerate this kind of thing happening, and even if there were, those people would not dare to report it in front of Liu Zhang.

They were very afraid of the retaliation of those officials, and Liu Zhang's keen eyes observed the changes in the expressions of those people.

They get one point a day, and those officials and Han soldiers can't directly get the points in the hands of those people.

As long as those people exchanged money and goods, those officials could get it.

Liu Zhang gave Cui Yuan some money and asked him to keep it, also so that those people could exchange points for money.

"If you have any needs, just tell me, as long as the requirements are reasonable, I will meet you."

Liu Zhang felt that some officials might be secretly corrupt and take bribes, and the conditions in this place were too difficult.

They want to get more benefits, but they can only squeeze them from those who are sinners, captives, and conscripts.

If he finds out, he will punish these officials severely.

"Has anyone recently asked you for money, if you feel wronged? Say it in front of all people, and I will do justice to you. ”

He's a county guard, and he has a lot of power.

Naturally, he was able to punish his subordinates, and everyone present was silent.

They don't dare to speak out, they are afraid of reprisals.

Some of the officials demanded money from them, and they had some savings in their hands.

If the names of the officials are spoken, they are punished.

Whistleblowers may face more serious retaliation, and they stay in this place.

Not only are freedoms restricted, but some dignity is also trampled upon.

Liu Zhang guessed that they had a hard time, if they didn't report it.

Some things are really difficult to handle, so we can only send people to investigate some suspicious officials.

"I hope that the colleagues present will fulfill their duties, the treatment given to you by the imperial court is not bad, and I hope you will not mislead your future."

Liu Zhang's words are to remind them that some things will be accepted when they see a good thing.

If things get bigger, no one will help them then.

"I know my colleagues don't want to come to this place, it's hard and dangerous. We are the officials of the Han Dynasty, and we must defend every inch of the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Zhang considered that they lived a hard life here, so he deliberately set up a point system.

They can earn two points a day, which they can exchange for money or other items from him.

It's just that I'm not sure if Cui Yuan has embezzled or taken bribes, and they think that the hope of promotion is very slim.

Some officials have no chance of promotion, and they do not belong to the state establishment.

The income of the officials was mainly distributed by the officials at all levels, and some collected money from the hands of merchants and ordinary people.

"I want you to do your job. Don't complain too much. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is still a chance to rise. ”

This is not that Liu Zhang deliberately painted a big pie for them, he will record everyone's performance.

"I will also write down the performance of my colleagues. If you perform well, I will recommend you to the Imperial Court. ”

Liu Zhang has this right, and he has to base it on his own talent and conduct.

They will be recommended as appropriate, and the imperial court will also send someone to evaluate them.

The people present were still silent, they didn't believe Liu Zhang's words.

The recommendation is just a name, whether it can be promoted, it is still necessary to deal with those big officials and dignitaries in Chang'an.

They understand such a simple truth, but their meager income.

I can't save much all year round, let alone take care of those dignitaries in Chang'an.

"If no one reports it, then I won't pursue it. I will also give you the opportunity to mend your ways, and I hope you will cherish it. ”

It seems that no one has reported those corrupt and bribed officials, and this is the time for Wuwei County to employ people.

They'll stop it today, as long as they do their part.

In the future, everyone will still cooperate happily, and Liu Zhang will recommend a few talented people to Chang'an.

He can also understand that these people have accumulated a lot of money in order to deal with the magnates in Chang'an.

This is human relations, and he is different from these people.

Naturally, I don't understand their difficulties, and I can't say that what they did was completely wrong.

I just hope they don't do it again, or it will make things worse and worse.
