Jiang Wan left the government office, but everyone did not dare to feel relieved. They all turned their attention to Song Gun, who "pleaded" Jiang Wan to help handle the matter before leaving. The entire government office lobby was filled with a strange depression.
atmosphere.
As a result, it took a long time and no one spoke first.
Everyone felt humiliated and embarrassed. Those who usually thought they were pretty decent looked at Chen Jie who was more decent than them. Chen Jie had a gloomy face and looked at the person sitting in the middle without even a glance from time to time.
Song Gun.
Luring the wolf into the house is definitely luring the wolf into the house, and the person who invited Nanhaiwei in the first place was the prefect in front of him.
"I told you, this matter is not easy to handle!"
After being silent for a long time, Song Gun slowly spoke: "You all think that I am trying to push the envelope, and even think that I want to take advantage of you. Now that things are like this, I won't say anything. You agree.
Please take matters into your own hands with Master Jiang!"
"Master Song, this is robbing our land!" Chen Jie's face was filled with uncertainty: "Are the government just sitting back and watching? If they disagree, they threaten to launch an army to kill all the gentry in our city. Jiang Wan and others
How is his behavior different from that of thieves outside the city?"
"The government office is a government office!" Song Gun glanced at Chen Jie expressionlessly: "Does Chen Weng think that the soldiers of the imperial court are not a government office?"
"So, Master Song is going to collude with Nanhai Weihang about this matter?" Chen Jie sneered: "Chen has only been an official for a few years, but he doesn't know how the court does things now. If there is a chance, Chen will collude with his disciples
Let’s have a good chat about our Yan’an Prefecture!”
"Then you have to have a chance to talk about it!" Song Gun still looked weak: "Anyway, Song, the prefect, is not very interesting. At the moment, it is just messing around day by day. If Chen Weng thinks that Song, the prefect, is doing a complete mess
, let alone talking to others about the affairs of our Yan'an Mansion, even if you directly ask your in-laws to impeach the Mansion, Song will be fine!"
"Huh, how unfortunate it is that Yan'an Prefecture has a lazy and inactive prefect like you!"
Chen Jie waved his sleeves and walked out angrily, not wanting to look at Song Gun again: "Chen Weng, go slowly, remember, within three days, we will provide the title deeds of the fields outside the city and the list of Chen family children who want to join the army.
Send it to the government office, Song will not be waiting for you if it is late!"
Chen Jie's figure paused slightly when he heard these words, but he didn't look back and walked straight out.
Song Gun turned his head, sighed, and looked at the people in front of him: "The same applies to you all. Don't make mistakes during the three-day period. I am only assisting Mr. Jiang in handling this matter. After the time limit, you can find this person yourself.
Mr. Jiang, go and tell us!"
"Master Song!" Someone spoke up and said: "Commander Jiang of the Nanhai Guard has a very good temper and is a scholar. Since he stationed in our Yan'an Mansion, he has rarely restrained the soldiers and distributed money and food. He is not harassing.
People, why did he suddenly change his gender today and treat us so viciously?"
"No matter how good-tempered he is, he is still someone who can kill people with a knife!" Song Gun glanced at this man: "He was right just now. If the troops from the border army come to garrison our Yan'an Prefecture and ask for money and food from you,
Do you dare not agree? As for the soldiers and horses occupying the wasteland outside the city, do you dare to go to others to make demands?"
"Don't you dare!" Song Gun smiled bitterly: "I don't dare either. These generals who lead troops are used to being arrogant and domineering. Now is the time to use them. The entire Yan'an Prefecture is not letting them take whatever they want.
, this Nanhaiwei is a Jingwei, not our local troops. If they don’t harm our local area, we will burn incense and worship Buddha. If we go beyond the limit, we will never go as far as we can!"
"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are not much better than those bandits outside the city!" Someone said bitterly after hearing this.
"Well said!" Song Gun gave the man a thumbs up: "It would be a pity that you didn't say this when Commander Jiang was here just now. If I tell him this, what do you think?
What will happen!”
"Sir Song will not do this!" Everyone said one after another: "Sir, you just said that these Nanhai Guards are foreign soldiers and horses. We are all local gentry and local officials. How can we turn our elbows outward!"
"Of course I will not be such a villain!" Song Gun nodded: "Yan'an Mansion still needs the full cooperation of the gentry and the government to maintain the current situation. However, with the combat power of the Nanhai Guards, I, Yan'an Mansion,
It is also indispensable. The bandits in Qingyang Mansion are eyeing us. If they come for the first time, they will not come for the second time. Therefore, even if the Nanhai Guards are a little domineering, we still have to support them!
"
"This man is so arrogant and domineering, couldn't Mr. Song ask the court to replace his troops?" Some people stared wide-eyed, thinking that this problem could be easily solved.
Then, he discovered that not only did Song Gun not answer his words, but even the people around him were looking at him as if they were a fool. He immediately knew that he might have said the wrong thing.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What I just said was very clear. Don't take any chances and think you can default on the things you promised!" Song Gun waved his hand: "This is my bottom line.
As long as the Nanhai Guard can protect my Yan'an Mansion from being invaded by bandits, as long as the Nanhai Guard does not harm the people in my city, even if Commander Jiang spits on Chen Jie's face, I will only be able to
I will just spit on my face, then pretend that nothing has happened, and continue to do whatever I have to do!"
"We don't care about money, food, land, etc., but do we really want to send the children of the clan to join the army? People will die in this war!"
"Yes!" Song Gun's face became serious: "This matter cannot be discounted at all. I know what you are thinking. Either get a few distant relatives from the clan, or even recognize a few cousins, and then send them to the army.
I advise you to give up this idea of joining the army as soon as possible. Why do people want your children to join the army? Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, maybe in your eyes, this is a huge bad thing.
However, if you think about it, maybe this is not a bad thing, or even a good thing!"
He said meaningfully: "Everyone, this is the top guard in the capital, and he will not stay in my Yan'an Mansion for the rest of his life..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and began to think with different expressions. But when they raised their heads again and saw the people around them, there was a hint of cordiality in their eyes.
"If this is the case, the children of each of our families must look after each other in this army!"
They looked at each other and exchanged opinions with each other: "As for which children you will choose, don't make a decision too quickly. In the past two days, let's discuss it more. Anyway, we can't keep the money, grain and land we promised, but
, whether we can keep the rest or even get some more from outside depends on whether the young people we selected have the ability..."
