When Feng Wanli and others rushed to the government office, they saw such a scene.
The prefect Song Gun was smiling and talking to several businessmen. The businessmen nodded repeatedly while secretly looking at Jiang Wan who was sitting at the table and drinking tea with a straight face. They didn't know what the prefect had said to the businessmen.
What, these businessmen all looked ugly, and a few of them looked as if they were about to cry.
These heavily armed soldiers rushed in, frightening the merchants. If the prefect hadn't comforted them, they would have fled on the spot.
"...The situation is like this. The only army that can be used in Yan'an Mansion now is our Nanhai Guard. The city gate has been closed at this moment. Each of you will lead your own troops to take over the defense of the city gate and the city wall, and seal the city for thousands of miles.
As for the arrangement, as our military strength is tight, we must let everyone use their usefulness!"
"Understood, sir, please stay here and we will take over the city defense immediately!" Feng Wanli said without hesitation.
"If there is any need to pay, the government will cooperate with us. I have only one request. From the moment our Nanhai Guard takes over the city defense, no one from outside the city will be allowed to enter this half of Yan'an Prefecture without my order."
step!"
"Here in our mansion, hundreds of young men have been prepared, waiting for the army to recruit them at any time!" Song Gun added later: "Generals, Yan'an Mansion is leaving it to you!"
Everyone agreed and hurriedly walked outside. I don't know if it was my imagination. When Jiang Wan looked at Xu Caining walking out, she felt that Xu Caining's footsteps were a bit brisk. It seemed that being trapped in an isolated city was not a good idea.
Her expectations are the same.
"The Firearms Battalion is not allowed to open fire unless necessary!" Jiang Wan said loudly from behind. Xu Caining staggered upon hearing this and almost fell over. When she turned around, she looked at Jiang Wan with some resentment.
, the steps finally became normal.
The grain merchants also hurriedly left. They didn't know what Song Gun told them. Anyway, they seemed to agree reluctantly. Next, Song Gun should send people from the government to these places.
The grain merchants went to move grain to their homes, but these things were not of Jiang Wan's concern. At this moment, the city gates were closed, and these grain merchants couldn't even run away. With him being such a villain here, if Song Gun still talked about
If this is not the case, then it is a matter of Song Gun's ability.
He really didn't mind leading his troops to rob these grain merchants directly.
He estimated that Song Gun knew his thoughts, and the food was also very clear in his mind.
"One person from a family will directly work in the government office. If there are children in the family who are studying, this year's Enke will be recommended by the government on the basis of merit."
After Song Gun finished his work, he sat in front of Jiang Wan and said, "It's not easy to get some grain from these people. Even collecting three hundred dan seems to cost their lives. However, the grain stocks of several of them
, at least a thousand dan!"
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to give it, I will directly lead the troops to get it. Is there anyone in Yan'an Prefecture who can stop me?" Jiang Wan shook her head: "You didn't say anything about money!"
"The government issues an IOU based on the current price..." Song Gun smiled bitterly: "However, it is very likely that my successor will not recognize this account. However, let's pass the current hurdle first. The next one will
Let the next one have a headache!"
"Yan'an Prefecture is so empty. Why don't you go directly to the border army for help? Instead, invite me directly from Taiyuan!" Jiang Wan sighed: "I can see that you are different from those boastful civil servants. You are a doer.
It’s true, but aren’t you afraid that the wolf will be rejected through the front door and the tiger will be admitted through the back door?”
"We invited border troops last year. As a result, the civil unrest in our Yan'an Prefecture was somewhat suppressed, but most of the people died!" Song Gun smiled bitterly: "Once the city gate is closed, whether the people outside are soldiers or bandits,
Who knows? Even among the refugees outside, who knows how many of them are innocent people who have been coerced, and how many of them are thieves with ulterior motives?"
"So, your strategy is to foresee that something like this will happen to you in Yan'an Mansion this year, so you invite me, Nanhaiwei, to come over and serve you delicious food and drinks, just for now?"
"Otherwise?" Song Gun stared at him: "My Yan'an Prefecture is not the only one in Shaanxi that suffers disasters every year. Suide and Yulin are not much better than my Yan'an Prefecture. However, coming from Beijing
We have many soldiers and horses, but you only have the Nanhai Guards. I am going to be slow to act. If you go to them, what will I do in Yan'an Mansion?"
"Then what should they do now?" Jiang Wan asked.
"Natural and man-made disasters, we officials should each rely on our own abilities and destiny!" Song Gun said confidently: "I am just a mere prefect. Of course I only care about the affairs of my own prefecture. If I were the governor of the three sides
, then I will naturally consider what the governors of the three sides should consider!"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Wan suddenly laughed. The other party admitted his petty thoughts with confidence, which made him dissipate most of his anger towards him. According to his philosophy, although the other party's petty localism was very serious,
, however, this is not an expression of loyalty to one’s duties.
His approach also feels like it falls within the category of "everyone takes his own responsibility and keeps his duties." As a prefect, he takes his duties and responsibilities very seriously.
"What's so good!" Song Gun sighed: "If this city really can't be defended, I've already made plans to die in office, so what's the point? What this official did is really fucking meaningless...
…”
"I mean, you are very lucky!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Even if you were not very lucky before, your luck will definitely get better from today on. As for whether you can defend the city, you don't have to worry.
They are just a group of refugees, not Houjin Tatars. Although our Nanhai Guards have a small number of people, I think they should be enough!"
"How did I know that as soon as you have a guard, you will be called thousands of times!" Song Gun sighed again, probably talking to Jiang Wan, but he did not hide his feelings, "If you don't ask about Nanhai Guard,
Origin, when I see you like this, I'm really worried that you are just a bunch of dudes from Beijing here to gain seniority! However, it would be great if you could bring more people here!"
"If you want to have food, it won't be difficult for me to mobilize all my troops!" Jiang Wan said: "We really need five or six thousand people here, and the thousand loads of food from those few grain merchants are not enough.
!”
"I don't have it in Yan'an Prefecture, but I have it in Suide, and I have it in Yulin!" Song Gun shouted: "As long as we can really quell the civil unrest and let these refugees return to their own fields, we in Shaanxi will also be able to get rid of it through the cracks of our teeth."
You have to save your military rations..."
Jiang Wan smiled: "Don't talk about this now, let's talk about it after we pass this level!"
