What does Tan Lezheng’s bad deeds have to do with Qi Yuanliang?
Kang Shi's words are not completely deceiving Xun Zhen. If you want to blame him, you can only blame Xun Zhen for seeking revenge on the wrong person_(:з」∠)_
He endured his guilt and tried to skip the topic.
The two finally fell asleep with their thoughts on their minds.
Coincidentally——
They think of one person.
And the person being talked about seemed to feel something.
"Ah owe-"
Qi Shan rubbed the tip of his itchy nose.
Seeing that the light of the oil lamp was a little dim, I used scissors to cut off the burnt candle wick and fiddled with it twice. The candle light turned from dark to bright.
He continued to deal with the pile of mundane tasks.
All the scribes who could be used were drafted away, leaving him alone in the entire administration, and one person was used as several people.
The battle on the front line is about to begin. Looking at the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, it is unlikely that the Yonggu Pass will be infallible. The government office and the counties in Longwu County must also be prepared for war. Fortunately, it is the coldest month of winter, and the farmsteaders have no unharvested grain. Only It is necessary to send people to notify every household, let the common people bring their valuable belongings and move them all to the city, and then send people to strengthen the fortress and city defenses.
Keep the walls clear and wait for the enemy!
The enemy can't find food when they come, and they can't attack the city wall for a while, but they can drag it out for a while even if they grit their teeth.
Of course, this is prepared for the worst.
If possible, Qi Shan wouldn’t want to get to this point!
He rubbed the tip of his inexplicably itchy nose, and at that moment there was a knock on the door. The voice had the weirdness unique to the voice-changing period. He knew who it was as soon as he heard it: "Come in directly."
The person who came was Tu Rong, who had a long and muscular figure. He was wearing half a piece of military armor, with only shoulder armor and skirt armor, and a long knife hanging from his waist. The small and fleshy face he once had was gone. As he got older, it became more and more A bit sharp and angular with a tough temperament.
"Master's book."
Qi Shan raised his hand and called Tu Rong to come over and sit down.
Question: "What are the arrangements for counties and towns other than Ruyao?"
"Everything has been arranged, it's just that-" The warrior's physical growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary people. Ever since Tu Rong's voice began to change, from the original childish milky voice to a harsh drake voice, he rarely spoke. If you talk too much or find others laughing at you, you will sink your face in annoyance, "...some are not willing to cooperate."
Qi Shan raised his eyebrows: "Don't want to cooperate? Which one?"
Tu Rong said: "They are all wealthy households."
Ordinary people only have a small amount of belongings and can clean it up in a day or two and follow the soldiers to the city to take refuge. But the "rich families" in Tu Rong's mouth are different. They are either from families who have been cultivating Longwu County for many years, or they are A big businessman who made his fortune by smuggling on the border and became a local extremely rich man. The people in Longwu County are poor, but these people are not poor, they are extremely rich.
It is not easy to transfer their belongings.
One or two days is too short.
Qishan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then asked with a sneer: "Have you told them what the consequences will be if they don't cooperate?"
Tu Rong said: "Tell them all."
But there’s nothing wrong if people don’t listen to advice.
Qi Shan sneered: "Looking for death!"
"Good words can't persuade the devils who are looking for death. They think this time it is just like those horse bandits who robbed people before." Tu Rong is not old, but brave warriors are not premature, plus they have experienced so many ups and downs in the past two years. Due to the unexpected incident, there was a bit of indifference between his brows, and he even said, "If you don't care about your life, it's better to kill him, lest the wealth of your family will take advantage of the enemy..."
Tu Rong said this for a reason.
You must know that when border relations were not tense, this group of people had benefited from smuggling and selling, openly or covertly, and even had business dealings with some tribes outside the border. If not, how could they be reluctant to leave when Longwu County was in such chaos?
Even the Shiwu tribe who came to rob would deliberately avoid them. Firstly, the interests behind them are complicated and complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that the target is a business partner; secondly, these wealthy households will support private tribes, and they have a lot of money, but it is difficult to chew.
.
On the other hand, it's easier for ordinary people to start.
Every household has the habit of frugally saving food rations to prevent unexpected events. The difference is just more and less. They have no ability to resist. There are also women in Shiwu who need it in the village. Although the profit from one vote is a little less, it wins.
Income is stable.
It’s been like one day for decades.
No matter how turbulent Longwu County is, it will not damage their foundation.
I believe that the horse bandits will not and dare not touch them.
Or, they never thought that the national border barrier would be broken, and they never thought that the Shiwu army could cross the Yonggu Pass and go south. There is no precedent in more than two hundred years! Now is no exception. If they were obedient and tried to fortify the wall and clear the country, they would lose countless property!
Qishan chuckled: "It's impossible to kill them..."
This time the situation is completely different from that in Ha Yoon County.
That time in Heyin County, the lord withdrew the banner of justice, but it was different here in Longwu County. Before the enemy came in, the governor first attacked the rich households and his own people. If word spread, it would damage the lord's reputation.
.Qishan would not do this.
but--
People who displease him always have to pay the price. Qishan said indifferently: "Since they are unwilling to cooperate, then just ignore it."
Even if Yonggu Pass can be defended, it will be a miserable victory.
I don’t know how many dozen remnant soldiers can invade the pass and wreak havoc. They don’t have enough food and grass supplies. Ordinary people can’t find food in their homes, so they will naturally attack these wealthy households. If unfortunately they all die by then, they can justifiably carry out their clan and land sacrifices.
Field. If you don’t look through the government documents, you wouldn’t know that the land in Longwu County that can be cultivated by the common people is less than 20%, and it is still inferior land.
Those fertile fields were acquired by families or wealthy businessmen who had been in business for decades or hundreds of years, using various means. If ordinary people devoted several years of labor to open up wasteland, the fruits of victory would be picked up the moment they matured. They have many means.
The output of the clan's sacrificial fields is used for the life education of the clan, ensuring that the clan is deeply rooted and prosperous - after all, the smuggling business is profitable, but where can the output be stable? As long as the harvest is good, you will not have to worry about food and drink.
Worried about starving to death.
The annexation situation is more serious than that in Hayin County.
What’s even more serious is——
The private soldiers they raised were quite capable of fighting. Perhaps it was the unique style of the border area, each of them was born to be fierce.
If twisted into a rope, it would give the Lord a headache.
Shen Tang has been in charge of Longwu County for a long time and has been busy with repair and reconstruction work. He can't take care of these people for a while. However, just because the problem is ignored does not mean that the problem is solved. It has always been there. Qishan doesn't mind coming.
A borrowed knife to kill someone!
Everyone takes the land without an owner. It’s not that they are killed by themselves, it’s that they seek death by overestimating their own abilities.
Tu Rong clasped his fists: "Wei."
Qishan rubbed his sore eyebrows.
Said: "You go down and rest early."
Tomorrow, Tu Rong would have to intensify his training of the soldiers he had recruited temporarily, which was no easier than his own. Tu Rong responded, bowed and left.
During the process, he added lamp oil several times, until the sky turned white, and Qi Shan lay down and closed his eyes for a while.
At the same time, Yongguguan.
From the guard general down to the soldiers, the expressions on the soldiers' expressions can be seen to be a little more relaxed. Last night, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, they revealed some news to the people below. This time the defense of the city is bound to win!
However, this atmosphere did not last long, and the news from the frontline scouts made everyone tremble.
The Shiwu Army is really here!
However, it is not a sneak attack at night.
They came in broad daylight.

There is only one title left...
My mind is buzzing, how can I write about the fighting generals, the siege of the city, and the breaking of the national border barrier in one "Part 2"???
