In any era, warriors are relatively simple, which is what Ling Xin'an likes. With just one sentence, the garrison soldiers can completely change their view of Ling Xin'an and let down their guard.

After drinking and eating, Ling Xin'an naturally invited Hu Bing and Zou Wen to talk in the hall.

The four of them sat down in order, and the maid Shuang'er served tea again. Ling Xin'an said: "Master Hu, I will get straight to the point. It's because I need your help with some things."

Hu Bing: "Master Ling, I am all ears."

At that moment, Ling Xin'an once again talked about his thoughts and what he was about to do.

The two of them didn't understand what they heard, but Zou Wen frowned and was silent in thought.

Ling Xin sat there quietly, waiting for the two to ask questions.

Zou Wen raised his head: "Master Ling, please forgive me for being presumptuous. What Master Ling does is for the people, why do you need to tell me and me?"

Ling Xin'an said: "Because we need your help."

Zou Wen: "Sir Ling, according to the imperial regulations, the military and military are not allowed to intervene in the internal management of each government, and are not allowed to operate business production. Lord Ling said that we two big bosses are needed to help, which seems to be contrary to the law."

Ling Xin'an said: "What Chief Zou said is absolutely true, but I didn't ask you two to intervene in this matter to put them at a disadvantage."

Zou Wendao: "I would like to hear the details!"

At this time, Duan Qing took the initiative and said: "As Lord Ling said before, you two can assist when necessary. The most important thing is to manage public security. We are short of manpower and cannot handle many things."

Hu Bing said: "Is it that simple?"

Ling Xin'an said: "Actually, there is one more thing. I wonder if your Excellency can agree to it?"

Hu Bing: "What's the matter?"

Ling Xin'an: "I heard from Chief Duan that Mr. Hu must run around the military field several times every day when training. I wonder if Mr. Hu can change the place?"

Hu Bing asked curiously: "Master Ling, have we disturbed you?"

Ling Xin'an waved her hand: "No, I hope that Mr. Ling can run around the city every morning in the future and continue to shout slogans. As for how many laps to run, Mr. Ling decides."

Hu Bing thought for a while and said: "There is no need to enter the city, Hu agreed!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hu!" Ling Xin'an said with a cupped hand.

At this point, tonight's banquet is almost over. Ling Xin'an and Hu Bing continue to chat in the hall. The two of them talked happily until it was past midnight.

Leaving the government office, Hu Bing and Zou Wen rode in front, followed by five centurions in the back row. The ticking sound of horse steps fell on the quiet and empty street, making it quiet and cold.

Zou Wen was the first to speak: "Sir, what do you think?"

Hu Bing took a deep breath and said slowly: "This Lord Ling has been unknown to everyone since he took office for more than eight months. He has never dealt with you and me. Why did he do it so eagerly after his own accident? Do you think he is really doing it for the benefit of the people?"

?"

Zou Wendao: "This is also one of the doubts of Beizhi. As far as I know, Master Ling's background is not simple. He works in this small Jiangzhou County. You and I both know that these big shots are just sent down to practice.

Within a few years, he was promoted quickly, but now it seems that he really wants to stay here for a long time?"

Hu Bing said: "He really feels that way to me, and he seems to be in great need of manpower, and he also needs these people and his boat."

Zou Wen was surprised and said: "Sir?"

Hu Bing waved his hand: "Don't panic, I have thought about what he said, and it will be of no harm to us."

Zou Wendao: "I don't understand the humble position."

Hu Bing explained: "If it were you, you would need to make his plan to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood. There are many reforms that need to be mobilized and carried out, which will inevitably offend people from all parties. Although Jiangzhou Prefecture is small, it has

It has all the internal organs, not to mention the local squires and businessmen who have been in business for many years, as well as the local gangsters and other three religions and nine streams, just a county government, how much do you think it can do?"

"Although there are very few police officers in the county, don't forget that Jiangzhou Prefecture or other prefectures can be so peaceful because of our presence, so all the prefectures in our Great Zhou Dynasty can seem much more stable and peaceful.

Don’t forget those years when the Seven Kings rebelled, and many dissident people took advantage of the situation and became a new force."

Hu Bing said slowly that if Ling Xin'an was here, he would be greatly surprised. He really didn't expect that Hu Bing was far more strategic than he imagined.

Zou Wen: "What do you mean, sir?"

Hu Bing said: "What are the responsibilities of our city defense garrison?"

Zou Wen understood immediately.

"So whatever he wants us to do, as long as we don't openly disobey the court, we will do it, and we must do it well. If something goes wrong, he will naturally take care of it."

"Starting from tomorrow, we should run around the city five times, no, ten times!"

…

Late at night, Ling Xin'an was sitting in his room. The table was filled with the plans he had written in the past two days. Now he is constantly revising. Many things have not been finalized. Duan Qing's information has not been completed yet and needs to be changed again.

.

As Hu Bing said, Ling Xin'an wants to develop. He knows very well that the current government office is short of manpower. More importantly, through what he saw and heard today and at the night banquet, if there is any conflict between Guo Song and Dou Kai

If there was no hostility, he would understand that his government office was not as harmonious as it seemed.

There is no doubt that the government office must be rectified, but Ling Xin'an does not want to shoot himself in the foot, so it is necessary to entertain the city defense garrison.

Whether it was the immediate or the future, it would not hurt to lay a good foundation with Hu Bing and the others first. He did not believe that Hu Bing and the others could not see his conspiracy, because for them, these things were really

within their scope of responsibilities.

The county government needs you to maintain law and order and protect the county government. At this time, can you not do what is stipulated in the laws of the day? You must do it.

Duan Qing, Guo Song and others were also unable to sleep. Duan Qing drank a little too much wine. The main room was waiting for him at the moment. He was using cotton cloth dipped in hot water to apply on his forehead. Every breath he exhaled was filled with alcohol.

Angry, Mrs. Duan couldn't help complaining.

Duan Qing didn't mind at all, but said: "Madam, do you think people will suddenly change their nature after experiencing changes?"

Mrs. Duan was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "Sir, it's not uncommon for such things to happen. I've often heard that a rich man's son was idle all day long, which led to his family's decline. In the end, he repented and was admitted to the official career. I've also heard of it.

When he was poor, he fought with his wife who was a loser, but when he became wealthy, he divorced his wife and married another man, and they were completely different."

Duan Qing said softly: "No matter how things change, some things will never change. For example, the expression, voice, temperament, personality, etc. can still be seen to some extent from the past. It is impossible to be completely different."

people."

Mrs. Duan also wondered: "What, sir, have you met him?"

Duan Qing smiled and suddenly reached out to touch his wife: "Sir, I seem to have encountered something strange, interesting, interesting."

Feeling Duan Qing's uneasy big hand, even though they had been married for many years, Mrs. Duan still felt hot and weak all over her body and couldn't help but moan/spit out: "Rogue!"

…

The next day, Ling Xin'an hid in her study and wrote and drew over and over again. However, in the eyes of the servants, the adult finally returned to the state of being in trouble. He just liked to hide in his room and write and draw when nothing happened.

of.

On the third day, Duan Qing finally handed a large bundle of information to Ling Xinan.

Hiding in his study, Ling Xin'an spent almost a whole day collecting and organizing, and then the data appeared in his mind one by one.

After simply drawing a few column charts, Ling Xin'an knew what she should do.

He never imagined that Jiangzhou Prefecture was actually rich in this species.

soybeans

Jiangzhou is built along the river. The terrain is flat, the temperature does not change much, there is occasional snowfall in winter, and the land is fertile, which makes the food crops here relatively abundant.

But seeing soybeans here actually made Ling Xin'an feel hot in her heart.

Thinking of last night's banquet, he couldn't praise the taste of the dishes prepared by the chef. Although he was not very picky about food, he was not allowed to waste food like this.

After drawing a circle, Xu Qingyun continued to look for actionable projects.

One by one, and then seem to think about authentication.

At the same time, Guo Song and others were looking at the angry merchants below with livid faces in the most famous restaurant in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

"Captain Guo, you said that we are not allowed to throw garbage on the main street. We agree with this, but why are we not allowed to ride horses into the city? What does this Lord Ling mean?" A short and fat shopkeeper said angrily.

Another shopkeeper also said angrily: "Could it be that Master Ling wants everyone to walk to my house from the gate five miles away?"

…

Guo Song didn't speak, but sat quietly. He didn't know why Lord Ling did it, but he could feel that it was what he had to do.

It has been more than eight months since he took office. This is the first time that your Excellency has to do something seriously, and he knows that the reason why this Excellency wants to do this is that once he succeeds, he will definitely be promoted soon.

I will definitely follow him, otherwise that old fox Duan Qing has been working harder than anyone else these days, and he has obviously thought of this too.

The major merchants finally finished their anger and saw Mr. Guo not saying a word, but just sitting there with his knife lying across the table next to him. The cup of tea had already gone cold and he didn't take a sip.

At this moment, some shrewd businessmen finally sensed something unusual.

He sat angrily and stared at Mr. Guo.

Although they are merchants and usually do not want to offend these government officials, it does not mean that they will be afraid of them. Although Jiangzhou is small, it is not without power.

Rao, one of the older people, said, "Guo Captou, did Master Ling tell you the reason for doing this?"

Guo Song looked at the person who spoke. This person was Liu Yong, the president of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Guo Song said: "President Liu, Mr. Ling only said that he thinks the health of our Jiangzhou Prefecture is not good. If businessmen from other places come and see such a scene, no one will do business here."

President Liu: "If this is the only reason, I should go to the government office and have a good talk with Lord Ling."

Guo Song nodded: "President Liu is going, no one will stop you. Master Ling also said that non-yamen people can enter the city without dismounting, but they will need to pay a management fee."

Chairman Liu scolded: "Don't we stop collecting them now?"

Guo Song shook his head: "No, Master Ling said that we will not charge it anymore. We will only charge the horse fees and freight charges into the city."
Chapter completed!
