Due to the constraints of the natural environment, the residents of Suide have generally walked since ancient times. Only a very small number of wealthy officials have the conditions to ride horses, sit in sedan chairs or ride in "home". Only when ordinary people get married, welcome and send off their relatives can they ride donkeys or sit in sedan chairs. They travel on weekdays and have no chance to ride horses and sit in sedan chairs.

Zhou Ji and the new county magistrate were unable to sit in a sedan chair, so they could only carry the local specialty donkeys, one by one, and took two old yamen runners and rode the donkeys to the river valley to open the doors of several rich gentry families.

What is the most popular thing in this world? What is the biggest no-price transaction? That is the sale of official positions and titles. The landlords along the river who did not take this county magistrate seriously could use money and grain to confess their official positions. What else would you say? At that time, everyone opened a central hall and treated Suide's old parents with specifications that were absolutely not available in the past. At that time, he really treated him as his biological parents as his biological parents. The attitude was even better.

This made Zhou Ji feel the pleasure of being respected for the first time.

I remember that when Zhou Ji and the new county magistrate rode a thin donkey to a large landlord's house nearest to the county town, they were blocked by a few arrogant slaves outside the huge manor. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, the owner of this manor was carrying on the things of the prince of Xi'an to rectify the king's village. In front of everyone, they were called the head of the royal housekeeper's house. A county magistrate who was not favored by the above is really not very respected.

When the county magistrate asked the village chief to come in and report, he got a sentence: "My master went to Xi'an Prince's Mansion to engage in things." A big rejection.

But the county magistrate said with a smile, "My master is here to send your housekeeper a future." After that, an invitation came from inside. When he entered the extremely luxurious hall, he saw the owner's entrusted white face and a cup of light fish-raising bitter tea.

When the county magistrate slowly said that there was a vacancies in the county, and when he was interested in recommending a virtuous person among the children of local gentry, the white face turned into a red face, and the light tea was replaced with Longjing. When the county magistrate said that it needed some donations to defend the place to resist the pole, the owner of the manor took out a thousand stones of food without hesitation, and quietly threw more than a dozen ingots of silver weighing fifty taels into the bag on their donkey's back like a stone.

So in an atmosphere where everyone can get what they want, the transaction was successfully completed.

In addition to the county magistrate who needed Zhou Ji's recommendation and the top assessment and approval, the remaining books, teaching medicine, Yin-Yang Science, Monks and the Dao Ji Department, etc. are all responsibilities with officials but no salary. They are simply the county magistrate who takes a form and finally report to the top. Therefore, things went quite smoothly. At that time, they paid the money and delivered the goods in one hand, and they were happy on both sides.

At that time, Zhou Ji looked at the piles of money and grain and thought to himself: "If I had known that these people were so generous, why wouldn't I raise the price of those who sued me again? Why did I worry about money and grain every year?"

The recommendation of Si Wen, who was not dry, was afraid that the landlord would quickly turn his head, "I had known that this official body was so convenient to get it, so why did you have to let the boy study hard? Now that I have just crossed the threshold of the people and the officials, I have to send someone quickly. No, I have to go to the city myself to make this matter happen, and then I will make some money and advance. I will not serve you, a dull and unpopular county magistrate, and quickly transfer it from a poor place where the rabbit does not shit. If you have a good life, you may be a prosperous and prosperous family."

As a result, Zhou Ji was surprised to find that Zhou Ji finally had all the leadership teams at all levels in the county. However, within half a year, his new subordinates actually raised and promoted one after another. His dignified county magistrate and master were still a county magistrate and master, with two or three kittens. So, when the autumn collection and tax collection, Zhou Ji had a lot of vacancies and sold them. So, the two old brothers discussed that instead of knocking bones and sucking marrow, the people in this place would pay money, grain and taxes, it would be better to take out their official bodies and recommend a group of people to raise them. So Zhou Ji simply gave up the people and sold them directly. Shangfeng was worried about the Suide official system not being complete, and he could not send one person to perform his duties. It was the best of both worlds. Zhou Ji's recommendation was of course approved, and both sides were happy.

Therefore, under this week and operation, Suide was able to complete the money and grain from the top every year without arousing civil unrest every year, and it even supported the local people in an orderly manner, becoming a legend.

Therefore, in this northern Shaanxi, Suide not only had men who were rich in Suide, but also had the most promising official position. A few years later, the children of the Suide landlords all went out to work as officials, and also recruited foreigners to donate and pay.

Zhou Ji not only comforted the people and cultivated and resurrection, but also earned a lot of money and received the evaluation of a capable official every year.

This trip took only two days, and Zhou Jihe and the county magistrate and his master raised 7,000 stones of grain, 11,000 taels of silver, and the oil and water in the red belly for the county.

Such efficiency made Zhao Qianhu stunned and ecstatic at that time.

After solving the problem of money and food, the rest are not problems. Of course, everything is easy to handle. Zhou Ji signed Ding Ling and offered two meals a day. Two meals were given to him. He was rewarded for his injuries, and there were conditions for burning and burying and burying. At that time, it caused a sensation in the entire Suide. Groups of tough men brought their own swords and guns, and more were swarming with a wooden stick. During this period, Zhao Qianhu looked like the pole of the thief on the border.

However, now is the time to use people. It is better to have these poles and save training and training. So the officials and bandits work together.

Zhou Ji did not make any mistakes in signing the reorganization and allowed Zhao Qianhu to assign commanders. This was definitely rare for a literary era where he had to show that he was well-educated in everything. Zhou Ji was just very concerned about the county magistrate and his master who managed the food logistics and provided everything to his ability.

Suide was busy, and he was fantasizing that once the army was rectified, he would launch a decisive attack on the upcoming southward thieves, making those extraordinary achievements and changing the fate of them.

The tough men are all rebellious in their bones. You can imagine that they can't even think about their organizational discipline. Not to mention the team cooperation required by the brigade's combat. Now on the streets of Suide, the military camps, and the only taverns are crowded and bustling. It is common to shout and scold. From time to time, there are a few more fights to catch them. The officials are busy with their hands and feet. Only when the gongs are ringing, can the streets calm for a while, and the next moment the sequence remains the same.

"It needs to be rectified, it absolutely needs to be rectified. If this continues, my county town will become a nest of bandits who pile up rubble." Zhou Ji frowned and asked Zhao Qianhu.

"Yes, sir, but now is an extraordinary period. We are still counting on these pickled things to work hard in exchange for military merit for us. We cannot be too strict with them and hurt morale. According to my opinion——” Before Zhao Qianhu finished speaking, a shout outside the yamen interrupted his long speech. A yamen runner crawled into the lobby, and before he could greet him, he shouted to Zhou Ji: "Master, it's not good, bad, pole, pole is here-—"

At that time, Zhou Jihu almost sat on the ground. If Zhao Qianhu hadn't had a quick hand, he would have made a big ugly.

After all, literati are literati, so where did they go through such a big battle? Tens of thousands of poles, they come at the right time. What should I do? At that time, I panicked and looked at the Qianhu, a thousand households who knew the soldiers.

Zhao Qianhu was also shocked. Why did the thief come so quickly? He had not had time to rectify the signing of Ding Buwu.

"Let me tell me, where are the thieves? How many people have come?" Zhao Qianhu asked the yamen runner nervously.

When asked, the yamen runner looked confused, and he couldn't tell the reason for a long time.

When Zhou Ji saw him, he ignored Shangguan Weiyi and went up with a big foot, "Why are you screaming when you didn't figure out the situation?"

The yamen runner was kicked awake and quickly reported: "Just just now, Mr. Wang from the river valley sent Zhuang Ding to report that the thief had come, and the person who reported the news was outside the yamen."

"Don't you call me in and ask for details?"

The yamen runs out again, and soon leads a brightly dressed Zhuang Ding in. The Zhuang Ding kneels down to Zhou Ji and others to report: "Qi Bi County respects the old parents. Before dawn today, thieves began to rush to and from outside my fortress. An hour later, a large group of thieves rolls out. My master organized Zhuang Ding to guard the fortress strictly and ordered the young man to come and report to his boss, asking his parents to prepare early."

"How far is your fortress from here? How many thieves pass through in front of your fort?"

"My Zhuangzi is fifty miles away from the county town, and the thieves did not attack. They just blocked the village gate with some thieves who were stabbing guns. There were many thieves, and there were countless torches, with no heads in front and no tail in the back, and countless carts, carriages and animals in between."

Zhou Ji looked at Zhao Qianhu, and Zhou Ji's eyes were filled with horror, but Zhao Qianhu's eyes were filled with excitement.

"General Zhao——"

"God helps me." Before Zhou Ji could speak again, Zhao Qianhu slapped his hand excitedly, jumped his feet and screamed, which scared Zhou Ji.

"Why is Lord Zhao so happy?"

"Sir, please think, what does the thief run away overnight on torches?" Without waiting for Zhou Ji's answer, he said excitedly: "First, it means that the thief is eager to escape and rushing on his way overnight despite his fatigue. This is a taboo in military strategists. Second, such reasons can only show that the border troops have launched an encirclement and may have been launched behind them. Third, the carts and horses have further confirmed that they are old and weak, vulnerable, and there is also fourth. This is how it is more and more that their morale is in chaos and panic all day long."

"Well, the general has made a very thorough analysis."

"Then what are we waiting for? Taking advantage of the exhausted and anxious thieves, we immediately broke out and defeated the bandits in one go, and made such an unparalleled contribution before the border army."

When Zhou Ji heard this, he was also excited. He waved his fists and shouted loudly: "Yes, that's the reason. We will start to consolidate our army and fight to wipe out the bandits, report the emperor's kindness, and make great achievements."
