Chapter 235: Repaying Resentment with Directness and Repaying Virtue with Virtue

Fang Tianlu cursed Xu Jin in his heart, but smiled apologized and said, "What the judge said is very much, but the food is from the soldiers of Qianhuyuan, and the subordinate officials cannot make their own decisions. If Qianhuyuan agreed, the subordinate officials will naturally have no objection."

Fang Tianlu cunningly kicked the ball to Qianhu Institution in Qianshan, and at the same time he also had the meaning of shirking responsibility and diverting hatred. The subtext is: If you listen to the Qianhu Institution in Yiyang, it is not because the official intentionally makes things difficult for him. The food is from Qianhu Institution in Qianshan, if you want, ask them if you want to go, it doesn’t matter to the official.

Xiong Bai is an honest man, and he could see Fang Tianlu's plan. Although he felt very sympathetic to the soldiers of the Qianhu in Yiyang, if he gave the other party the food, his brothers might be hungry in the future. It is the spring plowing season, and he will definitely not be able to plant fields in battle. Maybe he will still have no harvest this year. What should he do in the next days?

Because of this, Xiong Bai looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Fang Tianlu was secretly proud. Look, it's not that he was mean, Xiong Qianhu also disagreed!

Xu Jin frowned slightly. After these days of getting along, he naturally knew that Xiong Bai was an indecisive person and was usually the deputy Qianhu Luo Hong, so he said directly: "Xiong Qianhu, give part of your food to Yiyang Qianhu. You can also help some of the Yu Qianhu. Then I will find a way to make up for you."

Yu Linsheng said readily: "No problem, my subordinates will ask my brothers to send ten stones of rice to the brothers in the Qianhu Institute of Yiyang later."

Wang Duo said gratefully: "I thanked Master Tong for his brothers!"

After saying that, he hugged Yu Linsheng and said, "Thank you, Xiao Yu!"

Since Xu Jin agreed to make up for it, Xiong Bai naturally didn't want to refuse anymore, and also agreed to give the Yiyang Qianhu's 10 stones of grain. Twenty stones of grain is 2,400 kilograms, which is probably enough for the soldiers of the Yiyang Qianhu's 10 days to eat for six or seven days, so the grain problem was temporarily solved.

If the food problem is solved, the next step is naturally to hold people accountable. Otherwise, the soldiers under their command will use squads to violently express their demands. Wouldn't that be a mess?

As the saying goes: if you reward good but not punish evil, you will be in chaos; if you punish evil but not reward good, you will be in chaos. Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can you be disciplined. Otherwise, if the team is in chaos, you will be unable to lead it.

The matter was not complicated at all. Xu Jin just asked the three parties and quickly figured out the matter and made a decision to punish him on the spot.

Xu Jin said calmly: "Lu Baihu, although there are reasons for you to make trouble here, the state has national laws and family rules. If you gather people to make trouble, you beat the county lord Bo. I punish you for twenty military sticks and apologize to the front line of the leader Bo, are you dissatisfied?"

Lu Tong shouted: "I am convinced. As long as my brothers have food, I am convinced even if I take off my subordinates' heads!"

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, all those involved in the fight are punished with ten military sticks, and the same is true for Qianshan Qianhu Institute. Luo Hong, you should hit someone first and have a stick of twenty military sticks, are you dissatisfied?"

Luo Hong dared not say he was dissatisfied and quickly expressed his consent.

At that moment, dozens of big-headed soldiers were all pressed to the ground and sentenced to the spot. The soldiers in charge of the punishment were the soldiers of the Qianhu Station of Shangrao, who were obviously showing mercy. After all, they were comrades, so the group of big-headed soldiers could still stand up after being beaten.

Next, the yamen clerk who was responsible for guarding the warehouse was also fined ten military sticks by Xu Jin in the name of "inaction". Each of them was hit by fifty boards is also a Chinese characteristic. Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, this is the so-called balance.

This little official was also unlucky. Those soldiers would not show mercy to him. The ten army sticks were really hit on the butt, and their skin was instantly broken and they almost fainted from pain.

Xu Jin's eyes finally fell on Fang Tianlu, and the latter's forehead was sweating, fearing that Xu Jin would give him a ten-army stick.

However, Xu Jin was obviously not interested in beating him. If this guy's fat butt was probably not blood, but fat.

Xu Jin said calmly: "Fang Tianlu, as the county lord, you not only don't find a way to calm the dispute, but also add fuel to the fire, which almost caused serious consequences. You are not suitable for the position of the head of the head."

Fang Tianlu was stunned for a moment before he came back. Doesn’t this mean he removed his position?

Fang Tianlu was about to argue a few words, but Xu Jin had already turned around and left with the generals, not even leaving him the chance to speak.

Fang Tianlu's face turned red and white, and he clenched his fists angrily, and the fierce light in his eyes of killing pigs was revealed. Xu Jin's son, he was too bullying! He was too bullying!

Some people say: "What is the way to repay grievances with virtue?"

Confucius said: "How to repay kindness? Repay grievances with righteousness and repay kindness with kindness."

The translation of these two sentences means: Someone said: "How about using good deeds to repay evil deeds?"

Confucius asked back: "What should we use to repay good deeds? We should use appropriate punishment to repay evil deeds, and use good deeds to repay good deeds."

This is the origin of a gentleman who repays his grievances with righteousness.

Xu Jin asked himself that he was not a gentleman. He had a gangster with the Fang family, but Fang Tianlu was just trying to shirk responsibility in front of him, and at the same time he provoked the conflict between the Qianhu Institution of Yiyang and Qianhu Institution of Qianhu Institution of Qianhu Institution of Qianshan.

Xu Jin was naturally not polite. Anyway, this kind of corpse position is useless and the guy with a serious bureaucratic style is useless to keep it. So he simply sued him for his grudges and "fired" Fang Tianlu to avoid being in the way.

As a magistrate who controls the troops of various counties, his status is almost the same as that of the prefect, not to mention that he is currently in war and has the right to act cheaply, so Xu Jin has the power to remove a position from the eighth rank chief.

Xu Jin, no matter how angry Fang Tianlu was, he was hungry at this moment. After dealing with this matter, he hurried home and took a few bites of rice. He immediately rushed to the conference hall and discussed matters with the generals.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, except for Luo Hong and Lu Tong who had just been beaten by military sticks, all the other generals from more than a hundred households arrived.

First, Yu Linsheng, who was the commander, reported the casualties data. He fought with the rebels for seven days, more than 600 people died in the defenders, more than 1,000 injured, and less than 3,000 combat-capable defenders, so the situation was obviously not optimistic.

After listening to Yu Linsheng's casualties statistics report, all the generals present were silent. In addition, they were almost bombarded by the rebel general's cannon today. The magistrate Wu Linguang was also crushed to death, so the morale of the defenders was greatly affected. God knows whether the rebels will get another general cannon tomorrow?

Wang Duo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tongzong, my subordinates think we should no longer shrink and defend. We must take the initiative to attack to solve the current dilemma."

Xiong Bai quickly opposed: "Wang Qianhu, the strategy we decided at the beginning was: avoid its edge, consolidate the city and defend it. Consume the opponent and wait for the opportunity to defeat the enemy."

Wang Duo retorted: "There is no constant force in the army, and the water is no constant form. How can the way of using troops remain unchanged? What's more, after seven days of bloody battle, the rebels suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that less than 5,000 people can still fight. We will definitely get miraculous results when taking the initiative now, which is completely in line with the strategy of standby and breaking the enemy!"

Yu Linsheng looked at Xu Jin, and he actually agreed to take the initiative.

Xu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, "The time to attack has not come, so let's discuss how to defend."

The opportunity Xu Jin was waiting for was Wang Shouren to raise an army. As soon as this news came, Wu Sanba would definitely be distracted. Then he would take the initiative to attack, and he would definitely be sure to win.
