After hearing what the villagers said, Wang Xiaoli turned to look at Brother Song over there, and suddenly felt much taller.

Yes, when the Jin soldiers came, there were places where the city opened after shooting one or two arrows at the city, and there were also such unyielding people. It was their bloody battle that made the invaders understand that there were unyielding people here and this was a land that was respectable.

When he returned to his seat, Wang Xiaoli felt thoughtful. Last year, the Jin soldiers came south, and I don’t know how many people like Song Erge were. Facing the invaders, they climbed up and shouted, and faced the enemy’s butcher knife to offer their own passion. When the enemy retreated, they were either injured or sick, and died in obscurity.

After eating wontons, Brother Song sat in his seat to rest. Several diners around said, "Second brother, what was the day like that? You twenty or thirty people guarded the ferry, and the villagers fled to the mountains. There were dozens of people left, you were the only one left."

Brother Song clenched his fists and whispered: "Zhi Niang, it's a pity! We, twenty or thirty people, followed Brother Tan, guarded the Ruhe Ferry and prevented the Jin soldiers from coming. Alas, we were originally a commoner, with only a few Pu swords and a few hunting bows in our hands, so we naturally suffered losses on the battlefield. Those Jin people are really not afraid of death! Their ferry came over, and we tried our best to go up and sank. Not long after, they came again. You don't know that the Jin soldiers are all northerners and can't water. Once the ferry sank, they will rush in the water, and I don't know how many drowned! But there are many people, and they will come again!"

A person next to him said, "We are not more Han people!"

Brother Song was stunned for a moment and said, "It's natural that there are more Han people, but there are fewer people on the battlefield."

Some people scolded. As soon as the Jin soldiers arrived, the officials ran away first, and the army dispersed. The only people who blocked the Jin people on the battlefield were the people. How could the people fight against the regular army? Naturally, they could only use their lives. How many people died like this?

Brother Song sighed: "You don't know that the arrows at the ferry at that time were like locusts, rushing to the sky and the earth! We don't have armor and helmets, and it's hard to survive if we get shot. How can we persist? Poor Brother Tan, he was shot like a hedgehog!"

"Brother Tan's good man!" The people around praised them together.

Brother Song sat there, looking at the sky without saying a word for a while. After a while, his face turned flushed and he became a little excited.

"Oh, if we had armor and crossbows, we might have blocked the Jin soldiers! But the city inspectors took their soldiers to rob the city and fled to the mountains in the south. They all collapsed in a few days! If they fought like us, it would be so easy for the Jin army!"

Everyone scolded each other again. The imperial guards in the city, patrols, and oppressed the people, but ran away in the battle. Anything they had three points of blood, would not be like this. Not only did they run away, they also took away all their weapons, leaving the people to the battlefield without any hand.

Brother Song clenched his fists and knocked on the table: "We were twenty-eight people, and we waited for an hour and a half at the ferry. The sun was about to set, so we kept it! But there were no one! In the end, only six of us were left standing. When the Jin soldiers ferry came, we all went up. If there were fewer people, we could not dig the ship! What can we do? Six people were stabbed by the Jin people one by one. The Jin soldiers opposite me took a knife and chopped me up with one hand and one foot, thinking that I was dead. But I didn't expect that, I finally came back alive!"

Speaking of this, Brother Song sighed. Looking into the distance, it seemed as if he could see the war at that time.

The cool autumn breeze blows over the fallen leaves on the ground and rolls on the ground. The people in the market are bustling and noisy. A sun in the sky is covered by clouds and turns pale.

Wang Xiaoli sighed softly. Thinking of several battles between him and the Jin army, it was like a dream. Now that I think about it, I only remember that my blood was rising, and I rushed forward with a gun, and the brothers behind me followed him to kill him. I don’t remember much about other things.

When I won, all I remember was brave and a little reckless. When Brother Song was defeated, all I remember was the dripping blood.

In fact, it is more than one second brother of Song. Most of the people who resisted the Jin Dynasty have died on the battlefield. As they died in battle, the past countryside has become deserted, and the surviving villagers have gone far away. Their bones have turned into mud, and no one remembers their names.

This is war. It is not just heroes who hang on the battlefield, it is not just traitors who make accomplices on tigers, it is not just the people who struggle to survive, but also the people who die silently in resistance.

If the invaders fail and the land is occupied by the invaders, the history of these people will be erased forever. The people they protect, the descendants of these people, will never be able to raise their heads. For example, Mongolia destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and the people in Jiangnan were specifically called southerners and were at the bottom of society. It is not easy for people to form families in this world, and it is even more difficult to form nations. But the destruction of families and the destruction of nations are actually not that difficult. Or they will completely disappear in decades, or even a few years.

When a nation disappears, it makes you shudder when you think of it. But in fact, it is not that difficult. The Chinese people continue from generation to generation, just because of the large population? They will die without death. More importantly, there are these unyielding people. They are not afraid of death, so that they can protect people's lives. Even if the upper class is afraid, even if there is no organization, they are still strong.

After eating wontons, Wang Xiaoli sighed softly. He picked up the knife to resist. In fact, it is not only unyielding, not only revenge, but also for the heroes' blood to not be in vain. Only by following their footsteps, not afraid of sacrifice, or bleeding, can we usher in a better tomorrow.

Organize your own army and firmly resist the Jin Dynasty in order to defend your country. Look at these people and you will know why you do this.

After accompanying Wang Qingxiu around the market, Wang Xiaolie had no intention of staying there again. He took his subordinates back to Ruzhou.

When he arrived at the prefecture office, he handled some documents. Wang Xiaoli called Zhou Na, who was in charge of chores.

After saluting, Wang Xiaoliu said: "I returned to my hometown yesterday and saw a villager in the market. Last year, when the Jin army came south, twenty or thirty people guarded the ferry and let the villagers escape to the mountains. Twenty or thirty people, only one of them alive, but they were not one step at all. Last year, the Jin soldiers attacked Ruzhou, and the officials and generals fled when they heard the news. The Jin army occupied the city without any blood. But in the countryside, except for the officers and soldiers, many people fought with the Jin army, which is really sighing."

Zhou Na said: "When the Jin soldiers come, they burn, kill, and loot, how can the people surrender?"

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, who is willing to do it? If you don't rise up and are killed by the Jin people, they will point the bones with a knife and say, "Look, these are slaves. Those who are not dead are taken north by the Jin soldiers, aren't they still slaves with people? Now that our soldiers are stationed in Ruzhou, we will fight again, and we cannot let the people die. However, these people who once fought with the Jin army cannot ignore them. Send someone to count how many such people are in this state, and how they live now. The state takes some money to make them eat and wear well. Also, there are many positions in the countryside or in the city. The left and right are recruiting people, so let them do the right things."

Zhou Na thought for a while and said, "The magistrate should have many requirements for doing things for the government. For example, you should know how to read and count, know what officials do, and all kinds of things."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Where do you need all positions to be like this! Just like Brother Song, someone needs to take care of the market in Zhaoluo Town, you can entrust him to take some people to watch it. It's nothing more than dealing with disputes and collecting taxes. He has killed the enemy and has his own murderous aura. Let's see who dares to disobey his control!"

Zhou Nabun bowed and said yes.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Many places in prefectures and counties need people. Unlike before, we now pay money to support people."

In the past, public officials in prefectures and counties paid very few salaries, and most of them had no money to get them. What should I do if I don’t pay them? According to the official statement, this is a kind of servant, requiring middle- and upper-class households in prefectures and counties to invest in recharges. The most important of them is the Lizhengyeqian, because they may lose all their money, and even more recharges them among the top-class households, which makes the people suffer in a very difficult situation.

One of the reforms of Wang Anshi was the recruitment law, which was to collect the people's recruitment money, and some public officials in prefectures and counties changed to employment. However, most public officials still had no money to get it.

What should I do if I don’t pay money? It’s really just that my family pays money and works voluntarily for the government? Of course, it won’t be. The public officials in prefectures and counties are used to being corrupt, and it’s not surprising that they are from the government to the people. The money they earn is much more than the money they pay for the government.

Wang Xiaoli's method is to increase the government's income. From officials to public officials, the official will pay salaries. Only when the salary is paid enough can corruption be theoretically eliminated. There is a saying in later generations that high salaries are supported by the integrity. High salaries do not necessarily support integrity. Who said that if you get a high salary, you have to abide by the law? The integrity of officials depends on the strict management of the government and the supervision is in place. However, the salary of officials is too small and they can't even afford to support their families. How can they manage it?

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Ming dynasties, the salaries of officials were very low, but the responsibilities of officials in prefectures and counties were great. In fact, it was impossible to make them honest and honest. Even if the government was strictly in charge, they had to turn a blind eye. The Song dynasty was different, and officials had a high salary, so they didn't keep their extra income open.

There is a saying, "The Qing Dynasty was 100,000 yuan in snowflakes for three years. Of course, someone explained this sentence, and he would like to mention this sentence. There was a sentence in the Song Dynasty. From where to draw this conclusion, I won't say it. What Wang Xiaoli saw was that this sentence had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, and it mainly talked about the Qing Dynasty. Because in the Qing Dynasty, the finances of prefectures and counties were in a mess. As long as you were willing, there were too many places where the prefectures and county officials were working on it. But in the Song Dynasty, the power of prefectures and county officials was not that great.

Whether you can make so much money depends on Wang Xiaoli's efforts. But he hopes to use the power of the government to make up these loopholes. It is not a bad thing for the court to have high income, just look at where the money is spent. What is hidden from the people? How can the court hide from the people without money?

People like Song Erge who fight for the country should try to use the government’s money to support them. As an government official, this is what they should do.
