Chapter 454: After a long absence, defeat the new, suppress the bandits and raise soldiers

The snow, at last, began to fall, not too big, as light as catkins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the snow, a line of tracks stretched out into the distance.

Lu Qingyuan exhaled a breath of hot air, rubbed his face with his hands, and said, "Go back." ”

Le turned the horse's head and led everyone back to Wuping County.

In the crowd, Hong Arda turned his head step by step, looking quite reluctant. He and most of the villagers chose to stay in Wuping County, because the county seat was close to the Tongtian River and gave them a sense of belonging, and most of the villagers were weak and unfit to continue the long journey, so it was better to stay.

Stay in the county, and the treatment is not bad. They have a solid house to live in, something to eat – and of course, they will be able to do what they are good at.

It was Hong Tiezhu who followed Chen Sanlang to Fucheng, and there were ten young men.

These young men are all from hunting backgrounds, with witty brains and flexible bodies, can shoot bows and arrows, can play knives and sticks, and are involved in the army, and should do something.

When the snow rises, people return!

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was very smooth to arrive outside Laoshan Mansion.

Your Excellency is back!

The news quickly spread to the palace, and Zhou Fencao and the others hurriedly came out to greet them. To be honest, they are not at ease these days, for fear that Chen Sanlang will have something wrong outside, especially after receiving Lu Qingyuan's report that there are barbarian troops who have invaded the territory, they are almost restless.

Thankfully, Childe is safe and sound.

Chen Sanlang asked Jiang Caoqi to lead Hong Tiezhu and others to the barracks, and he went back to the mansion.

When he came back, his mother Chen Wang was full of joy, and Xu Jun was also happy. When she was a woman at the beginning, her demeanor and dress have changed, she has faded a little bit of greenness, and she has become more and more bright.

Not to mention the sumptuous dinner, after eating, Chen Sanlang returned to the room, took off his clothes, and lay down in a large bucket of hot water prepared earlier, so comfortable that the pores of his body were about to open. It soaked for half an hour, and he added water three times before he came out of the bucket.

After finishing some trivial matters, Xu Jun began to grind the ink, such a scene, as usual, the red sleeves added fragrance, and the pen and ink were waved.

Chen Sanlang only wrote one word tonight and gave up, and went to bed early.

The charcoal is burning in the room, warm as spring, people's hearts are spring, as the so-called "long absence is better than newlywed", the snow is small outside, the room is soft and soft, do not live up to the infinite tenderness.

Turn your clothes upside down, and it's a good fight!

The next day, Chen Sanlang woke up on time. After breakfast, I came to the government office.

He went to the Tongtian River, himself to find the secrets, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of seeking food. However, when he returned, he was empty-handed, which was disappointing. There are a lot of fish in the Tongtian River, but it is not easy to catch by manpower, and it is difficult to succeed without crabs and their cooperation.

Besides, a section of the river, no matter how many fish there are, is far from being able to meet the food consumption needs of Laoshan Mansion, which can only be regarded as a gimmick or a solution to an urgent need.

In the public house, Zhou Fen, Cao Guo and Chu were all there, and they never mentioned how Chen Sanlang went out to harvest, but reported the situation in the house at a glance. It is mentioned that a few days ago, the government government issued a notice calling on the people under its jurisdiction to actively sell grain, and the results were quite good, and many people were willing to sell the surplus grain after knowing the predicament of the government government.

Of course, these grains were also grown by them after the division of the fields, and most of them were potatoes. The accumulation of small amounts can temporarily alleviate the crisis.

This is open source.

In terms of throttling, it is also possible to do a good job, and now there are obviously fewer displaced people who have entered Laoshan Prefecture, and those who do not come, or will not come, or who cannot come anymore, according to the number reported by the county seats, there are about 80,000 people, which is really a huge number.

The number of people has been implemented, and there are as many as 10,000 young people who are willing to join the army and meet the requirements.

That's a pretty high percentage!

However, it is not surprising that it is difficult to escape the famine, it is difficult for women and children to survive in the old and weak, and those who can survive are basically young and strong.

From a certain point of view, this is the cruelty of survival of the fittest.

Nowadays, the bulk of food consumption is actually the military camp. Soldiers need a large amount of food to train their troops, so that they can be strong and strong.

Zhou Fencao said: "Son, Mo Xuanyi trained troops in Xinyi County, and he sent troops three times, all of which were out of the country to suppress bandits, and he was quite successful, and he was almost self-sufficient, which greatly reduced the burden. Well, you approved and agreed to this matter, Childe. ”

Chen Sanlang nodded, there is indeed such a thing.

At the beginning, it was Mo Xuanyi who wrote to ask for instructions, saying that this would kill two birds with one stone, not only to train the troops, so that the recruits could get the opportunity to fight, but also to collect a lot of materials and get supplies......

I have to say that Mo Xuanyi is indeed a rare general.

Suppressing bandits and raising soldiers is actually not new, and there are examples in all dynasties. Since the war in Yongzhou, the people have struggled to make a living, and bandits have emerged in an endless stream. Occupy the mountains as the king, gather the mountains and forests, countless. The territory of Laoshan Mansion is relatively stable, and it is rare to see a large number of thieves, but this is not the case elsewhere.

The so-called bandits, perhaps they were all ordinary people, and they had no choice but to do it. But in any case, once you kill the beginning, there is no turning back. After embarking on this road, burning, killing and looting were commonplace - Chen Sanlang entered Yongzhou and encountered several batches along the way.

Therefore, for Mo Xuanyi to send troops, of course Chen Sanlang would not stop him, and immediately allowed it, letting Mo Xuanyi act cheaply.

This is a kind of decentralization, but also trust.

Since Chen Sanlang promised to train Mo Xuanyi's troops, he was not afraid that he would support the army and have other plans. So far, Mo Xuanyi has done a very good job, knocking out several thieves in the neighboring prefectures and cities, and confiscating a large number of supplies. Although the recruits under his command have suffered a lot of injuries, after these hard fights, they have grown at an astonishing rate and their combat power has skyrocketed.

After listening to Zhou Fencao's statement, Chen Sanlang knew that in the near future, there would not be much problem with the operation of Fucheng, as long as he survived this cold winter, after the beginning of spring, the fields broke the ground, and everything would be prosperous.

This is also the result of the government team's perfect establishment and orderly operation. Even if Chen Sanlang is not there, he can do things normally and solve problems.

Chen Sanlang has been pursuing such a strategy all along, and as long as the time is ripe, a system can be formed.

After all, the power of one person is limited, and under the system, everyone can implement it in order to become the general trend.

After handling some affairs, at noon, Chen Sanlang did not go back to the back house to eat, but walked out of the mansion and headed towards the Taoist temple.

Entering the courtyard of the Taoist temple, Tong Zi Mingyue greeted him with a happy expression and said with a smile: "My lord is here, please come in." ”

Chen Sanlang asked, "Is your home view master?"

"He came down from the mountain yesterday and was watching, so I'll report it. ”

Hearing the boy's answer, Chen Sanlang nodded. It's good that the Taoist priest is here, and you don't have to go to Laoshan once, which can save a lot of time.

Not long after, a free rich man in a Taoist robe shook out, his face was shiny, and his life was moist.
