After pouring a gourd of cold water on my head, I remembered to take a look at the things I drew in the previous lottery.
The result was very disappointing.
There are nineteen items, eighteen are common, and only one is rare.
As for rare items, he obviously has some disdain for them now.
In the blink of an eye, it's the next day.
Lu Fang got up early in the morning and hurried out of the county office to Wanfu Inn without even eating breakfast.
It took a lot of effort to invite this guy Han Feihong over, and made him a little excited. There was no reason not to get close to him.
This guy is currently Youxian's biggest source of support in suppressing bandits.
When we arrived at Wanfu Inn, we were a little bit dumbfounded.
Han Feihong and his soldiers, all wearing cloth armor, were drilling in the street in front of Wanfu Inn.
Haha, the sound is deafening.
The onlookers are also on three levels inside and three levels outside.
Lu Fang heard someone whispering.
"Where did these soldiers come from?"
"Didn't you see the tag hanging on someone's waist, Chaling Army?"
"Why did the Chaling Army come to our You County?"
"Hey, I heard that the newly appointed county magistrate borrowed it from the Chaling Army to suppress bandits."
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Hey!"
The speaker looked a little proud, "Don't you know that my neighbor's second aunt's niece's husband's friend works as a guard in the city guard camp? He was vigil at the city gate last night and saw it with his own eyes."
"..."
Lu Fang squeezed in from outside the crowd.
He shouted to Han Feihong in front of the soldiers, "General Han!"
Han Feihong turned his head and wiped the sweat from his face, "Mr. Lu."
Then he turned back to the soldiers and said, "Continue to practice."
He walked up to Lu Fang and asked, "Why are you here so early?"
Lu Fang dragged him directly to the Wanfu Inn and whispered: "Isn't this because I am thinking about suppressing bandits, so I came here to discuss countermeasures with you!"
Han Feihong was a little dumbfounded and said: "I never promised to give you advice, right?"
"I'm not seeing you outside!"
Lu Fang said: "We don't know each other anymore. Isn't it natural for you to do me this little favor?"
Han Feihong shook his head and laughed.
I've never seen anyone so thick-skinned.
However, Lu Fang's personality also made him feel a little interesting.
This guy, sometimes he's quite serious, sometimes he's quite cunning, and sometimes he's quite shameless, which makes people unable to see through him. But it's also hard to make people feel disgusted.
Go sit down inside the inn.
Except for the shopkeeper and the boy, there was no one else inside.
Probably because they were looking at the soldiers practicing outside, no one had the courage to come in.
Lu Fang asked Han Feihong, "Have you had breakfast?"
Han Feihong nodded, "I already had it before practice."
By now, they had actually been practicing for half an hour. Before that, they had run around Youxian County twice.
"Shopkeeper, please bring a bowl of noodles."
Lu Fang turned his head and shouted at the shopkeeper.
Then he continued to say to Han Feihong: "There are more than 2,000 bandits on more than ten hills in You County. I wonder if General Han has any good strategies?"
"No."
Han Feihong shook his head seriously, "With this little information, how can we come up with any good strategies? Mr. Lu should first find a way to find out the details of the bandits!"
After thinking about it, he added: "But the suppression of bandits is nothing more than conquest and recruitment."
"Recruitment?"
Lu Fang's eyes moved.
If you can recruit someone, that would be a good idea.
Although I don't have much money on hand now, I might still be able to bribe many bandits.
At that time, there will be no need to recruit troops. Just let the surrendered bandits go to conquer the remaining bandits.
But before he could say anything, Han Feihong said again, "But Magistrate Lu is just a county magistrate, not an envoy, and has no power to recruit people. If you want to recruit people, you have to ask for a peace order from Pan Jiedushi."
That's fine. Otherwise, even if those bandits are willing to be recruited, there will be no place to place them."
Lu Fang was stunned, "What if we let them return home?"
Looking for Pan Nanzhang?
Don't even think about it.
"hehe."
Han Feihong chuckled, "Magistrate Lu was ordered to suppress the bandits. This move is tantamount to releasing bandits privately. It will be a serious crime if investigated by the higher authorities."
Lu Fang couldn't help frowning, "Does this mean we have to clean it up?"
Han Feihong nodded, "If there is no recruitment order, this is the only way. Only with the recruitment order can they be pardoned for their crimes. Think about it, if the bandits everywhere choose to give some benefits and let these bandits go home.
, then how majestic is the law of Dayu? When the people of the world are having a hard time, they all have to rush to the mountains to weed, not to mention the harm to the countryside, but in the end they can reap the benefits of the court in vain."
Lu Fang fell silent.
What Han Feihong said is obviously right.
I only thought about putting an end to the banditry in You County, but I ignored that these bandits were all guilty.
Bandits are a small matter, but the dignity of the imperial court is a big deal.
Furthermore, if we don’t kill, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to make the people angry.
After having breakfast at Wanfu Inn, Lu Fang returned to the county office.
The mood is a little solemn.
Recruitment is not possible.
The alienation caused the bandits to kill each other without any clue.
Forced conquest is also insufficient.
Now, the only thing we can really do is figure out the true identity of these bandits and the relationship between them.
When he arrived at the county government office, Lu Fang directly found Lu Liang.
He said to Lu Liang: "Brother, haven't the recruitment orders been posted yet?"
Lu Liang said: "Not yet, what's wrong?"
Lu Fang frowned slightly and said, "I'm wondering if we should issue a reward order at the same time."
"Reward order?"
Lu Liang was stunned.
Lu Fang had only talked about conscription before.
Lu Fangdao: "Look for people who have seen the bandit leaders from various mountains and draw portraits on a first-come, first-served basis. Each portrait will be exchanged for ten taels of silver. Then they will be posted and a reward of one hundred taels of silver will be offered for their heads. Red Lady,
The three typical examples: Brachiosaurus and Lao Qiufeng... each cost five hundred taels of silver."
"hehe."
Lu Liang suddenly laughed out loud, "You are really rich now!"
Lu Fang said: "Things that can be solved with money are the best things. Maybe there are brave men under the heavy reward. If someone takes their heads, how much trouble will it save?"
Lu Liang shook his head, "Don't even think about it. There are hundreds of people on the hilltop, and even a master would be in trouble if he broke in."
Lu Fang disagreed, "It's better to scare them!"
In doing so, he actually wanted to show off his attitude and gain the support of the people. As long as there is support from the people, those bandits will sooner or later become rats crossing the street.
And without the support of the people, let alone two hundred people, let alone two thousand people, it would not be easy to suppress the bandits.
"become."
Lu Liang nodded, "I'll just listen to you!"
Next to him, Yu Mi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kept saying: "No... no..."
Lu Fang glanced at him, "What's wrong?"
This guy is not going to put a bounty on him, why are you afraid of being like this?
Yu Mao said: "Those mountain bandits have a large number of people. Doing this will offend them! What will happen if they come to the county town?"
These words really made Lu Liang and Lu Fang's expressions become a little solemn.
yes!
There are only dozens of soldiers guarding the city of Youxian County. Even if the Chaling Army is included, the number is less than 300.
If those bandits were to attack them without hesitation, they might not be able to stop them.
Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang again.
Lu Fang narrowed his eyes and said: "Then let's issue a conscription order first! As long as there are 500 people, there will be no problem guarding the town of Youxian, right?"
Yu Yi said, "What if the bandits vent their anger on the surrounding villagers?"
Lu Fang frowned.
Although Yu Yi's position is open to question, his words are still worthy of consideration.
This has just begun, and they have shown too harsh methods, which may really provoke the bandits to retaliate.
If there is a massacre of the village, it will also be a trouble for Lu Liang.
Damn, this bandit suppression is much more complicated than imagined!
