Taishi Ci withdrew the spear in his hand and stepped aside.
Sun Lei looked helpless on his face.
Defeated!
He was defeated by Taishi Ci.
Even the competition between the two was not on the same level at all, Taishi Ci was enough to beat him.
Taishi Ci looked around and said loudly: "Taishici is here, who dares to fight?"
At this moment, even Hong Gang, who was eager to try, stopped taking action and chose to remain silent. He finally saw that Taishi Ci's strength was far greater than that of Sun Lei, and he and Taishi Ci were equally powerful.
Under such a premise, defeating Taishi Ci would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It's better not to go up than to humiliate yourself.
There was total silence in the army.
No one dared to challenge him, because if he challenged him now, he would be beaten by Taishi Ci.
Wang Can waited for a while, but when he saw that no one came forward to challenge him, he said loudly: "Since there is no one to challenge, then from now on, Taishi Ci will take over the post of county captain. Taishi Ci will be responsible for all military matters."
"Thank you, sir!"
Taishi Ci cupped his fists and thanked him.
Wang Can stopped staying, turned around and left the military camp, leaving all matters to Tai Shici to arrange.
Wang Can returned to the county government and went to visit Zhuge Gui.
At this time, Zhuge Gui was already suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and his face was almost pale. Despite this, his body felt relieved, as if he had lost dozens of pounds.
Previously, Zhuge Gui was physically ill. Not only did he have no energy, he was also very burdened and his breathing was a little short. But now, although his energy and spirit are poor, he is much more relaxed.
This was caused by Hua Tuo's medicine.
In the evening, Zhuge Gui's vomiting and diarrhea had begun to subside, and he began to eat. However, at this time, Zhuge Gui's diet was light, without meat, and mainly consisted of porridge.
Wang Can saw everything about Zhuge Gui and was very happy in his heart.
Zhuge Gui recovered and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Although Zhuge Gui was still a little weak at this time, his whole complexion had recovered a lot and he was no longer as weak as before.
Wang Can left the government affairs to Zhuge Gui, but he was thinking about the next step in his mind.
He was not satisfied with taking control of Yangdu County.
However, even if Wang Can wants to expand now, he still has certain difficulties because his finances are unsustainable. With Wang Can's strength and Taishi Ci's command of the army, it will not be difficult for him to attack the city and seize the territory around Yangdu County.
County is also extremely easy.
The problem is that once it is captured, it needs to be managed.
This is difficult.
So what Wang Can needs to do now is to lay a solid foundation. He must have enough money and food support to continue to expand.
Wang Can intends to open up money and find ways to make money.
"Report!"
At this time, a government official came in quickly with a panicked look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Many soldiers came to make trouble outside the county government office, saying that they were dismissed by Tai Shici and were no longer soldiers in the army.
These soldiers arrived outside the county government office and asked the county magistrate for an explanation."
After hearing this, Wang Can had a solemn expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, someone would cause trouble.
Wang Can immediately walked out of the hall and headed for the gate. When they arrived at the gate of the county government, they looked around and saw soldiers who were either young, old, or too thin.
This is a group of weak soldiers!
This is Wang Can's first impression.
Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, Wang Can understood Taishi Ci's intention to lay off these soldiers. They were all weak soldiers, and remaining in the army would only drag down the army's combat effectiveness.
This is extremely normal.
But for the soldiers, the soldiers in the army are not willing to do so. They have food and shelter in the army, and they are unwilling to leave. At least they can eat enough and not go hungry.
Back home, life became difficult.
You may not be able to eat.
All these laid-off soldiers gathered at the gate of the county government office to ask Wang Can for an explanation. When these people saw Wang Can come out, they all talked loudly and chattered, asking Wang Can to deal with Taishi.
Mercy, and they were unwilling to leave the military camp.
Wang Can listened to everyone's words, his face was as dark as water.
He didn't speak.
Just standing at the door of the county government office.
Wang Can didn't speak at first, and the laid-off soldiers kept talking. But gradually, because Wang Can didn't speak, some people started to boo, asking everyone to quiet down.
The number of booing soldiers increased, and after a while, everything became quiet.
No soldier spoke again.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Can.
Wang Can said: "Very good, everyone has calmed down now. If you don't want to talk anymore, then just listen to what I have to say."
The soldiers all looked at Wang Can.
They hope that Wang Can can seek justice for them.
Wang Can said sternly: "I already know about your situation. I also understand the reason why you were laid off. Any of you are either young or old. I took a look. I'm afraid the youngest person is
They are less than ten years old. The oldest ones are probably over sixty, with a big beard and hair that is already snow-white."
"I want to go to the battlefield, can you do it?"
"Fighting on the battlefield is no child's play, and at this point, what I want is not a bunch of good and bad rabble, but a group of soldiers who can win the battle and dare to fight and kill."
Wang Can said: "You can't do this. Taishi Ci's dismantling of the army is my order. It was I who gave Taishi Ci permission to do it."
boom!!
The noise was heard immediately.
The soldiers started talking one after another. They all started saying that Wang Can had crossed the river and burned down the bridge. They all started saying that Wang Can had turned his back on others.
Everyone started to blame Wang Can.
Everyone thought Wang Can was unkind.
Wang Can was not moved by the accusations from these soldiers. In particular, Wang Can did not give the order for Taishi Ci to disband the army, but since he put Taishi Ci in charge of the army, he trusted Taishi Ci.
And it is natural to eliminate the old and the weak.
Taishi Ci was a county captain. He had to preside over the army and convince the soldiers in the army. Wang Can could not dismantle Taishi Ci, so he had to stand on Taishi Ci's side and support Taishi Ci in dismissing the soldiers.
However, problems must also be solved.
Wang Can had a solemn expression on his face, but he didn't speak and listened quietly to the noise of the soldiers.
The noise gradually subsided.
All the soldiers who were laid off had helpless expressions on their faces.
They are old and young.
That is extremely difficult.
Even when Wang Can was in charge of the army, after taking over the Su family, he gave awards to the soldiers in the army, but these soldiers did not dare to spend money lavishly and kept everything.
They don't dare to misuse money.
Wang Can waited for a long time, waited for all the soldiers to calm down, and then said loudly: "It is extremely normal for you to be dismissed from the army. I just want to ask one thing, after Taishi Ci dismissed you, did you ever
Give compensation?”
"No!"
Many soldiers answered in unison.
Wang Can said: "You are weak in combat and have been dismissed. It is a matter of course. I support Taishi Ci. However, you, old and young, have been expelled from the military camp, which has indeed cut off the source of your worries.
The fact that this matter has not been resolved is due to Taishi Ci's lack of thorough consideration."
"This officer will arrange this for you."
"First, for all soldiers who leave the army, I will give you two months' salary subsidy."
"Second, if you leave the army for any reason, you will be given a certain amount of land."
"In this way, you can survive now."
Wang Can said loudly: "With land, you can farm. Today's Yangdu County greatly reduces taxes. As long as you farm diligently, you will have enough food and clothing."
When Wang Can finished speaking, the soldiers in the army began to rejoice one by one.
Got money!
There is a field!
When they have money and fields, they have the basis of life in Yangdu County. Even if the soldiers are old or young, for them, fields are their lifeblood, and they can be passed down from generation to generation.
Wang Can flicked his sleeves and said, "You guys go back and come to the county government office early tomorrow morning to collect money and land."
"Here!"
One by one, the soldiers agreed and left quickly.
Wang Can returned to the county government, found Zhuge Gui, and told him about subsidizing the eliminated soldiers and giving them land. After hearing this, Zhuge Gui didn't say anything, because the eliminated soldiers must also be resettled, otherwise trouble would easily occur.
.
Furthermore, the county government has enough official land.
These official lands were actually obtained by raiding the Su family. The Su family had countless fields, and any time spent on them could satisfy these laid-off soldiers.
Besides, the money is enough.
After Wang Can explained the matter, he also talked about raising the salary of soldiers in the army again, and obtained Zhuge Gui's consent.
After all, for soldiers to fight hard, money is essential.
Wang Can also arranged for someone to inform Taishi Ci about this news and asked Taishi Ci to make arrangements.
Wang Can also breathed a sigh of relief when everything was handled properly.
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, soldiers came to the county government office. Zhuge Gui had already made preparations. He took a roster from the army and distributed money and land deeds one by one according to the names on the roster.
This matter has been busy for half a day.
After handling this matter, Wang Can went to the military camp alone.
Today, there are only a thousand soldiers in the military camp.
But at first glance, they are all young and strong. Even though many soldiers are very thin, at least they are almost the same age. There are no old men in their 60s or 70s, and no children in their teens.
Wang Can looked at more than a thousand soldiers, and after a patrol, he found Taishi Ci and asked Taishi Ci to provide him with good food as much as possible so that the soldiers could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and have enough experience.
When Wang Can returned to the county government office, a government official entered and came to Wang Can and reported: "Sir, a man came from outside the county government office and called himself Mi Gang. He claimed to be from the Mi family in Donghai. He has something important to do.
ask to see."
"please"
Wang Can gave an order.
When the yamen officer went to deliver the order, Wang Can looked quite surprised. The Mi family actually sent someone to ask for a meeting alone. I wonder why the Mi family came? (To be continued)
