After seven or eight days, the Xiangjun barracks, which were originally deserted and deserted, have completely changed their appearance, and have really changed their doors. They have entered and exited the military barracks every day, and the number of former officials who want to return to the Xiangjun sequence has reached more than a thousand.

Although Sun Tu's previous series of actions gave everyone confidence, the more important thing is that the content of the notice posted in front of the gate has been known to everyone in and outside the city. Sun Dujian has made a guarantee that as long as he returns to the wing army at this time, he can not only obtain considerable military pay, but also even ask the government for the salary he owed a few years ago. This is too tempting for ordinary people.

You should know that all industries in Qingzhou are not prospering now. Except for a very small number of big businessmen or officials who rely on various means to gain a lot of benefits, ordinary people live a tight life, at most, so that their families will not starve to death.

Among them, the soldiers who had no choice but to leave the military camp to rely on their own are in a worse situation. They have no land and are not as good as others in terms of craftsmanship. The only thing they have is a lot of strength, and the number of people is still quite large. Therefore, in recent years, they have been able to stutter by working in short-term workers. Many people are at a loss.

Now, Sun Tu suddenly released a list article to solve everyone's survival problems. Even though this matter seems a bit unrealistic now, many people still ran back to the military camp with a try-and-see attitude.

As for the statement mentioned in the list of articles about seeking justice for the soldiers, everyone selectively threw it aside at this time. They were all bullied by wealthy families or officials, and under the protection of officials, how could Sun Dujian preside over justice for himself and others? As long as he can truly fulfill his previous promise and let everyone have enough food in the military camp and no longer have to worry about their livelihoods, these people are already satisfied.

So these days, the people in the military camp were very busy. They had to meet many soldiers returning from the army every day, and they had to carefully check and identify their true identities in case anyone pretended to be identifiable when they saw this opportunity. Fortunately, there were Qi Desheng and others who were quite familiar with military affairs to help check, otherwise it would be difficult to identify.

The re-registered books were sent to Sun Tu. Seeing that the more and more people could join him, Sun Tu's face also had a lot of joy, but only Huang Wenbing still frowned. It was not until the people below handed over the things and left that he said with some concern: "The Chief Minister, although he has seen the number of troops in the wing army gradually increase, it only exists on the books. If he cannot take out the money to satisfy them, he may come quickly and go faster."

"I naturally know this, so it's time to implement the next plan." Sun Tu laughed, looking dismissive.

Huang Wenbing's expression became more and more serious: "Dujian, do you really plan to ask for food from the government office? Are Murong Yanchao and others willing to spit out the money they got again?"

"They can't help it. Over the years, they have gained enough benefits from eating empty space and drinking military blood. Now it's time for them to repay everything." Although Sun Tu still smiled, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. This is the strategy he had already decided, so naturally there will be no changes.

"But... I am just worried that if you use force, things will become more and more out of control. It will be difficult to explain when the court is alarmed." Huang Wenbing was really afraid that Sun Tu would be blamed by the court, and eventually ended up in a tragic end.

But Sun Tu sneered: "Then don't let the people in the court know about this. When the rice has become a cook and the wood has become a cook, they can only endure some things. Didn't Murong Yanchao do this before? I'm just Xiao Guicao."

As soon as this was said, Huang Wenbing had long regarded himself as Sun Tu's confidant, and knew that he had great ambitions. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Can this be the same? The Song Dynasty has always been generous to civil officials, and no matter how big the mistakes he made, he would not really take their lives, because Emperor Taizu had the ancestral teaching of not killing scholars and officials in this dynasty.

But his attitude towards military officers is completely opposite. He often gets blamed. Once he really crosses a certain bottom line, his fate will inevitably be miserable. Even a general like Di Qing, who has great achievements in the state, ends up in a depressed ending? Sun Tu really has the courage to touch the red line of the court. Are you really not afraid of endless troubles? Or is his ambition so great that he can completely ignore the court and even want to be in Qingzhou...

Thinking of this, Huang Wenbing looked at Sun Tu with some anxiety, but found that he had read the books again, and he was muttering: "According to the military rules, these more than 1,000 people should get 5,000 jin of money every month, plus more than 500 stones of food. It is time to meet Murong Yanchao and settle the accounts with him."

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

When Sun Tu brought people to the government office again, the people at the government office did not dare to stop them at all, and even looked fearful with a low eyebrows. Obviously, the conflict in the military camp had already made them afraid. This made him easily pass through the courtyard and come to the public housing where Murong Yanchao was. The latter had already received a report at this time and looked at him with a vigilant look: "Sun Tu, what are you doing again?"

"Mr. Murong, don't panic. The subordinates are just here to settle some accounts with you." Sun Tu replied, and as he entered the house casually.

"What account can I have with you? I am busy with official business now, but I don't have time to talk to you." Murong Yanchao was still replying hard, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

Sun Tu sneered: "Magistrate Murong is really busy with his noble affairs, and he has forgotten this matter for a long time. As far as I know, the money and grain supply of our army has always been the responsibility of the prefecture's yamen over the years, and his subordinates said that they have not seen the military stadium and money supply for soldiers for two years. Since the yamen is not mentioned, I can only go there in person."

"What do you mean? Do you want to use this to threaten me? I can tell you the whole story now. Because I have been owed to my Qingzhou for several years, and the government has not collected too many taxes, so I have arrears in military rations. But this is also out of helplessness. I hope you can understand. Moreover, my Qingzhou is located in the Central Plains and is not in the border area. Even if I raise so many military horses, it is useless. So the official's meaning is to leave only one or two hundred people to defend the city, and the others will be dispersed with them." Murong Yanchao said casually: "Of course, if you have any dissatisfaction with this, you can submit the court or ask for help from this transshipment commander to see what their attitude will be."

He really didn't believe that Sun Tu would ask the court about related matters. With the current efficiency of the Song Dynasty and the arrangement of the Grand Tutor Liang, such memorials would only sink into the sea. Such a trick of ruling has always been the only way for their civil servants to deal with military officers. Of course, Murong Yanchao was still full of resentment at this time. If it were put in the past, why would he use such despicable tricks to deal with it? No one dared to ask about food and wages at all.

Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at Murong Yanchao up and down, making the other party feel panicked, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" He sighed and said, "I just didn't expect Murong Yanchao to be able to talk lies with your eyes open so much. I can't believe that you are my Qingzhou magistrate."

Before the other party got angry, he snorted again: "Even if I had only been to Qingzhou for half a month, I had heard about the reality of bandits in our province. Why is this? It is because the government harmed the people and was unable to suppress the enemy. But you are so good that you can still speak all the peaceful nonsense in Qingzhou. Are you really deaf and blind people in the world?"

"you……"

"Since I have taken over the military affairs of Qingzhou, I have the responsibility to protect the territory and the people. The key is to let the official army be trained again, and the food and salary in place is the top priority. Since this matter has always been the responsibility of the government office, I will hold you accountable this time!"

"Hmph, I have already made it clear that there is no excess food for you now, let alone any money..." This was his last reliance, and Murong Yanchao naturally could not be as good as Sun Tu's wish.

"You have no choice but to have money or grain. Now, I have sent someone to check in the government office. Also, I heard that the prefect Murong also has several industries in Qingzhou City, and even two grain and rice shops. I guess there should be a lot of food and money there. If there is really not much money and grain in the warehouse, I can only ask you to put the overall situation first and donate generously." Sun Tu said, looking at Murong Yanchao who had already changed color with a sneer.

"You... dare to rob the government granary. I will submit to the court now..." Murong Yanchao was really angry and anxious, stood up and shouted loudly. This was his last bottom line and he could never be taken away by Sun Tu again.

But Sun Tu didn't see any fear, and just shook his head and said, "I just took back the things that belonged to my wing army, and it's not a mistake at all. Oh, by the way, there is a memorial here that seems to be sent by the prefect Murong, but your messenger suddenly suffered a disaster after leaving the city. It happened that the person of my official found out that he could not bring back the man, so he only brought back this memorial." Sun Tu said, taking out something from his sleeve and put it in front of the other party.

When Murong Yanchao saw the familiar melody, his face turned pale. He pointed at Sun Tu's hand and trembled repeatedly: "You...you dare..." This time he was really scared. The other party actually intercepted the melody he sent to the capital a few days ago. Does that mean that Sun Tu has no worries at all? If he is strong and becomes an enemy of him, will he not dare to think about the next thing?

Sun Tu stood up calmly: "Major Murong, now my people are still guarding the granary of the government office. I will act only after I give a command. If you refuse to hand over the things, it will be hard to say what the consequences will be. Don't say that I didn't expect it!" After leaving this threatening sentence, Sun Tu turned around and left without waiting for Murong Yanchao to respond.
