Back Off, Let Me Come

The chief bookkeeper was curious.

What kind of medicine does the new governor sell in his gourd?

He wrote a letter and handed it to the courier.

"Remember, you must deliver the letter to Governor Shen personally, write down the other person's expression, and see what the other person's reaction is after reading the letter." This messenger is the person who is used by the chief clerk, and can barely be regarded as his confidant.

The messenger put the dried letter into his arms.

"only!"

The chief bookkeeper walked out of the camp.

The oncoming cold wind hurt his face slightly. He stood on the city wall, looked in the direction of the government office, and chuckled, without any warmth in his eyes. He has not forgotten the knife Zheng Qiao stabbed in this matter...

Could the lackey he sent be a good one?

Even if it is good, it is only the eyes and ears of that person.

"...The cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy..."

The chief secretary, wearing a sword, patrolled a circle of watchtowers.

After knowing that there was no problem, I safely walked down the tower and returned to the rear camp. Before I could get close to the main camp, I heard a chirping sound coming from the direction of the main tent. He calmly opened the heavy curtain, and a few familiar faces were still tugging at it.

"What's the fuss about?" the chief clerk asked.

Someone in the tent said: "Everything is tight in the army. This guy got some jars of wine from nowhere to bribe us! Don't you know that alcohol is prohibited in the army? There are no rules at all!"

Another person asked: "Where did this meat come from?"

It's not like similar things haven't happened in the past. There are always people in charge of logistics who are interested in this, trying to use this to build connections, forming cliques in the army to find shelter, or in order to escape guilt, they use cherished drinks to bribe their superiors.

A few of them are having a meeting to discuss.

The soldier delivering the meals accidentally bumped into him.

Main bookkeeper: "..."

Seeing a few rough guys who were fighting fiercely on weekdays and running faster than the last to catch them to deal with military affairs, the chief clerk's mouth twitched slightly and mocked: "You guys are thoughtful..." The chief clerk's words fell on the ears of several people. Isn't it just a compliment?

He immediately smiled and said humbly: "This is what we should do! Chief Secretary, we must strictly investigate these boys!"

Main bookkeeper: "..."

Feeling a little tired for no reason_(:з)∠)_

He waved his hand to the pawn, who was so frightened that he had forgotten what to say, to sit down in his seat and sit upright.

Then he said: "They didn't bring this stuff. If they had the ability, would they still be hanging around here?"

"That is?"

"Sent from the new governor of Longwu County."

The general sitting at the top frowned tightly, with undisguised disgust on his face: "The new county governor?"

When the soldiers below heard this, they became angry: "You gave these things as soon as you came. Do you think you can bribe us with them?"

Another official said angrily: "Who cares!"

"They are generous and give us food for free, why don't we eat it?" Everyone present had similar thoughts.

They speculated that Shen Tang had bad intentions, whether it was to build relationships or bribes, they did not appreciate it.

It's okay to be angry with people, but there's no need to be angry with military rations.

They can fight without food, but these brothers who are guarding the gate can fight with hunger?

Everyone knows this truth, but they feel uncomfortable, especially the general sitting at the top. This man was saved by the former Longwu County Sheriff. It can be said that without the previous Sheriff, this general would have died long ago.

The former county governor did not despise his background and experience, but also entrusted him with important tasks. In the general's heart, Longwu County had only one county governor. He said: "We don't recognize this new county governor."

The chief clerk was not surprised by his general's reaction.

"I just wrote a letter to test the purpose of Governor Shen's visit. No matter what, as long as we don't interfere in the affairs of the military camp and can provide military supplies and food, it's not impossible to coexist."

The general still looked unhappy when he saw him.

The chief secretary politely advised: "Just think of it for the sake of the brothers."

These words made the general completely lost his opinion.

only--

The general said: "...Before, in order to please Shiwu, Zheng Qiao made things difficult for Longwu County several times. The people under him took advantage of the situation and deliberately delayed the military supplies. Instead, he replaced him with a yellow-mouthed boy with little reputation. Guaranteed adequate supply?”

The general was not optimistic about this.

Why hasn't the chief clerk thought about this?

"It depends on whether the new county magistrate is a good person or not."

The military power of Longwu County is in their hands.

Even if the new county governor had his own armed force, he wouldn't be too strong at first thought. He had governance power but no military power, so he wouldn't be able to make much waves. At least, the new county guard will never want to interfere with the defense and layout of Yonggu Pass...

A few people didn't stay on this topic for long.

Then he started talking about other things.

It was too late, so we just had a meal together.

Several jars of wine were divided.

Although alcohol is prohibited in the military, it depends on the situation. Yongguguan is extremely cold in winter. When the military situation is not serious, you can drink some wine to warm up. However, since food and grass are sometimes not available when the military needs them, this little benefit is equivalent to nothing.

Open the wine seal and the strong aroma of wine fills the air.

Only after the poison test is correct did he start drinking.

"The grain is all new, and the wine is still good... This new county governor is a generous man..." Several people murmured in their hearts.

The matter related to Yonggu has not reached Shen Tang's ears for the time being. Although she knew that she was not popular, and she did not expect that two thousand stones of food and grass would make them bow to her, but to be so unpopular and to be treated with suspicion and suspicion was probably unexpected.

A few days later——

Under the renovation of a group of skilled infrastructure enthusiasts, Ruyao, the administrative center, undergoes major changes every day. Especially since Shen Tang is not short of money or food right now, he is recruiting the surrounding refugees to join the construction without stopping, and his team is growing day by day.

The reward of two pancakes for half a day is a high salary that no one can resist right now! The young laborers were assigned to work, while the women or the frail elderly stayed behind to do other things, such as sewing winter clothes, for example -

Velvet flower!

_(:з)∠)_

This is a long-term business.

Compared with other profit-making industries, the profit is not much, but the advantage is that the stream of water is long and the revenue is stable.

Under the capable management of Xu ATM machine solution, the velvet flower market is not limited to Tianhai and Tianhai. It has been exported to various places with the Xu family's business caravan. When selling, use a sign like "New Fashion of the Family" so you don't have to worry about sales.

Compared with expensive flower decorations that require a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate, velvet flowers are very cost-effective.

Shen Tang recommended Xu Jie as the governor of Heyin County, and Xu Jie recommended his cousin Xu Quan to Shen Tang. The relationship between the two families was extremely close. Therefore, it was natural that she would continue to provide velvet flowers and Xu Jie would help with the shipment.

When Ruyao stabilizes, other business projects will be put on the agenda to make this place prosperous again.

Because of the experience from He Yin's period and the fact that Qi Shan and others are experts in internal affairs, there are not many things that actually require Shen Tang to do it himself. Compared with before, she is much more free now and can still find time to inspect the progress of various places.

If any of the refugees say that there are horse bandits somewhere, they will take a few people with them and kill them. Xu Quan will naturally not leave as a bodyguard. However, five or six times out of ten, they will miss - it's not that they are slow in taking action, but that the information is transmitted too slowly. Horse bandits are guys who come and go without a trace. It depends on luck to catch them - how many are left? This time I returned home with a full load.

Whenever there is a harvest, the most excited people are not the rescued people, but the people squatting at the city gate.

why?

Don't forget, Mr. Shen personally promised that if you pull out a hundred hairs of a horse bandit, you can get one or two grains.

No one believed this decree at first, until a child whose relative died at the hands of a horse bandit angrily ripped off a handful of the horse bandit's scalp and was rewarded with two kilograms of corn. After hearing the news, the common people put aside their fear and rushed to snatch the horse bandit's hair.

As their scalps were torn off or cut off with knives, the screams of these horse bandits were also extremely shrill.

Their hands and feet were tied, their chests were buried in pits covered with gold juice, and they were left to freeze and starve for two or three days.

The skin on my hands and feet had long been ulcerated, covered with maggots, and extremely itchy. If I suffered such a blow at this time, I would naturally not live long.

Those who live longer can survive four or five days.

The short-lived ones are only one or two days at most.

If one dies, another one will fall in again.

The corpses would be thrown into one place and burned, and the unburned bones would be used to build a temple in Beijing, where any commoner could come and spit. This resulted in the people at the city gate cheering for a long time every time Shen Tang brought back a new group of horse bandits.

The horse bandit's hair...ah, no, fresh corn must be snatched by hand. Watching the soldiers planting horse bandits into the pit, and then swarming them, the men in charge looked so menacing that their heads were numb...

However, no one thinks it is cruel! Because to sympathize with these horse bandits is to betray the relatives who are lying in a pool of blood!

And Shen Tang has been rebuilding Ruyao, sheltering refugees, and doing various good deeds these days, but nothing like this has made the people even more grateful. Everyone who heard about this was applauded. They only hate that their legs and feet are slow, otherwise they will be scalped!

While relieving hatred, you can also get food...

Then I would be even more grateful!

"It's really a knife to pull the ass, it opened my eyes..."

When Xu Quan wrote a letter home to his cousin, he truthfully wrote down what he saw, heard and felt.

Xu Jie: "..."

Such vulgar and bold witticisms... Apart from Shen Jun, there was no other person to choose from, and it only made his eyes irritate.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻This kid has been with Shen Jun for so long, can’t he learn something?

It's as vulgar as it is vulgar, but it can indeed express inner emotions accurately. Not only Xu Quan was shocked, but Xu Jie was also frightened by the changes in Shen Jun in Longwu County. After a second thought, I realized that it was normal. A gentleman's kindness does not mean that he is a coward and can be bullied.

How can a place like Longwu County gain a foothold without ruthless measures? Especially after Xu Jie sent people to investigate the intelligence of Longwu County, this feeling became even deeper. Because the most troublesome thing here is not just the rampant horse bandits and the coveting of the Ten Crows...

Be more careful about the one who is permanently locked up.

A confidant of the former Sheriff.

————————

Shen Tang rode on the back of his motorcycle, waved to the cheering people, and swaggered all the way back to the government office - after these days of repairs and tidying up, he barely had a house to stay in.

As soon as the front foot landed, a messenger came over the back foot.

"messenger?"

Chu Yao said: "It's a reply from Yonggu Pass."

Shen Tang summoned the messenger.

Uncover the fire paint and follow the ten lines.

The messenger stood below and carefully observed Shen Tang's facial reaction with his peripheral vision, but found that the other party did not even frown. After a while, he said: "I already know the request made by your chief secretary. Although the current world is difficult, the soldiers guard the border, and no matter how difficult it is, they cannot suffer. I have sent people to prepare the remaining military supplies... …”

The messenger didn't know the content of the letter, but he also knew the master's temperament, so he definitely didn't write anything good.

So, the new county governor is not angry?

There was a drum in his heart.

Answer according to the situation and you can't make a mistake.

Shen Tang asked someone to take him down to rest.

He left with his front foot, and Shen Tang sneered from the back.

"We are really being taken advantage of!"

Shen Tang handed the letter to Chu Yao to read. There was nothing offensive in the letter, nor did it reject or disapprove of her as the county governor, but the meaning behind the words was the same -

Cry poor!

They cried out that the soldiers had few supplies to keep out the cold, and how many brothers froze to death; expendable items such as spears and arrows were reused, and the blades in the hands of many soldiers were curled up and scrapped. The army once ran out of food, and the soldiers guarded Yonggu Pass with hungry stomachs. In short, those who heard it were sad and those who heard it shed tears. The chief secretary is still speculating on when the royal court will reissue this batch of military pay...

She searched all over and couldn't find any friendly words like sending someone to communicate and cooperate with Shen Tang...

Chu Yao said: "The hostility is obvious."

Shen Tang had a headache: "We can't betray each other."

Taking the initiative to give people supplies is completely different from being kidnapped and given supplies. In the former, she has the initiative, but in the latter, she is not only passive but also coerced. Shen Tang originally thought that even if the other party didn't appreciate it, he would have a better attitude, or at least give him a good look.

Who would have thought that this guy would be hard-pressed to eat soft food.

Chu Yao thought for a moment, holding the letter and wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, he said: "Wu Lang, you might as well let me go over and take a look at the situation. No matter how much hostility there is, there is always a source. If it can be solved, it will be a good thing. "

Shen Tang was startled.

Because Wuhui hasn't called her that for a long time.

Every time he shouted this, it meant that he was determined.

Shen Tang: "Ruyao can't live without Wuhui."

Work like a business trip in the middle of winter should be left to young people like Qi Shan and Kang Shi. Chu Yao, who has old arms and legs, can just stay behind and take charge. The most important thing is that the attitude at Yonggu Pass is very unfriendly. What should Chu Yao do if he was detained in the past?

Shen Tang didn't want to see this scene.

"Goro..."

"...This, this is okay."

What she couldn't resist the most was Qi Shan calling her "Shen Xiaolangjun" and Chu Yao calling her "Five Langjun". Whenever they called her, she would get a headache. Shen Tang said: "Just to be on the safe side, let Wen Shi and Shousheng follow you, and bring a hundred people with you. If they want to take action, don't worry about the relationship between the two parties, just do it!"

Chu Yao: "..."

This, this is not necessary.

The matter is not that serious. He just went to Yonggu Pass to test it out, not to go there and start a fight... But Chu Yao could only accept his lord's kindness.

Without wasting time, Chu Yao packed up and prepared to follow the messenger to Yonggu Pass the next day.

Rarely, Chu Yao put on his sword.

The clothes of scholars are relatively loose, which is quite simple.

He doesn't look like a scribe...

Rather, he is like a Confucian knight wielding a sword to the end of the world.

Or a Confucian hero wearing limited edition gray hair!

He met with Xu Quan and his party outside the city gate.

Xu Quan keenly smelled a smell that was not right, turned his head and whispered to Lu Jue: "Brother Shousheng, are you sure we are just escorting Mr. on his mission to Yonggu Pass... Why do I see Mr.'s posture... It's more like looking for People fight..."

Will it not be enough for them to bring so many hundred people?

Do you want to shake another five or six hundred number?

These few people are not enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth.

Lu Jue: "...???"

He was confused.

Is Mr. Chu different from usual? ? ?
