Song Wen looked at the food, clothing, boots, felt hats, some tents, iron pots, etc. in the car, as well as a few flags and a set of flags and drums... and couldn't help but secretly despise them.
Just five carts of food... how long will it last? Is this Lieutenant Sun really a thief? Why is he so stingy?"
Song Wen asked the soldiers of the Qingshan Battalion to put the cart in, and then briefly said hello to the official... The two merchants next to him cupped their hands and said: "Tou, since the handover is completed, the young men will drive the carts and horses back.
, I don’t dare to waste Dutou’s time…”
Song Wenqi suddenly glanced at them while riding on the horse: "What are you rushing for? Aren't these ten carts of grain and grass equipment all assigned by the county captain to the soldiers of the Qingshan Camp? We have collected the east and west carts and horses, and you can just go back and resume your duties!"
"
"Ah! Ah?" Several merchants who came to deliver grain and grass looked at each other, and the two officials were also a little confused... Does this mean that the carriage and horse will be detained? This is also a bit...
Just when a leader of official missions was about to suppress Song Wen in the name of Sun County Lieutenant, a shout suddenly came from beside him: "Get out of the way! Bandits and criminals must be detained in the military camp first, don't block the road!"
Several guys hurriedly hid aside, and saw a tall and mighty young man with several companions on horseback. They were escorting more than a dozen men in shackles and chains with fierce looks on their sabers to the military camp.
Let’s go. Behind us are more than 100 prisoners of the bandit who are in a state of embarrassment...
Some of the gangsters still had dried blood and hideous wounds on their faces... and a faint smell of blood could be heard.
When had the two officials seen such a battle, and the two merchants were also fighting... Everyone remembered that these country soldiers were not recruited to work for a living. These guys can do it on their own.
How powerful is this place where the bandits are killing so many people?
If you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to offend... a few carriages and horses. I guess Sun County Lieutenant will not care about Song Dutou. He can just go back and tell the truth. Don't offend the other party at the gate of the military camp. Even if he doesn't use the knife, he will get beaten.
You can't do it even if you beat him up!
Looking at Songdutou again, I saw that I had already entered the camp on horseback and disappeared.
Song Wen looked through the shirts and cloth boots, and cursed and was very dissatisfied... There were about half of the second-hand goods, and some of them were faded! The food was quite affordable, and the yellow millet was packed in hemp, and there was unexpectedly something inside.
There are also dozens of kilograms of bacon and ten jars of pickled vegetables.
It seems that this specialty dish in the Song Dynasty army is really well-deserved. When marching out of camp or going out to fight, pickles should be served first. If you have the ability, you can make some money?
A bunch of miserly people stingy...
Master Meng took a cup of tea and blew on the foam and took a sip. As the night fell and became very cold, a boy came in and filled the brazier with hot coals before bowing and retreating.
There are still two years... at least two years before I have the chance to leave this extremely poor and inferior county. There are more than 400 households in the entire county, and there are no more than ten wealthy merchants. Almost all of them have backgrounds.
They have also moved away.
And that Sun County Lieutenant...
Master Meng originally did not want to get involved in these troubles in Taoshan County, but now that the northwest is gradually getting quieter, the Xixia people are becoming more and more impoverished, and it seems that they are unable to conquer the northwest of the Song Dynasty. I heard that Tong Guandu has returned to the court to see His Majesty. So the Privy Council and
The three Yamen and the Ministry of War began to make a fuss about suppressing bandits again.
Without it, many people just need political achievements and military merit.
If the bandits are not suppressed, where will the money for suppressing the bandits come from? If the bandits are not suppressed, where will the military rewards come from?
This time, I exaggerated the number of bandits in Kuquan Mountain three times. Five hundred bandits were defeated and beheaded by the village soldiers in one battle. Twenty-six levels of bandits were reported to the state capital. I will definitely get a commendation, although there is no evaluation method now.
, but it is necessary to rate it as above average at the end of the year.
If you want to move your position, you must have the money to pave the way and dazzling political achievements... Taoshan County is a shabby place that is not worth much money even if the county government is sold, so the only choice is political achievements. Originally, Sun County Lieutenant controlled the rural soldiers
The control was perfect, but the sudden appearance of Song Wen and Qingshan village soldiers gave him the opportunity to be ambitious...
Chief Meng was waiting. The civil servant's arrogance and reserve made it impossible for him to lower his face and try to explain why his subordinate had anything to do with a local powerful man. However, this did not prevent him from privately exploring the foundation of Song Wen.
With a letter in hand, Master Meng became even more curious... A businessman who rose rapidly in the wells of Bianliang City, a well-rounded young man who relied on money and was related to a big shot like Liang Shicheng, and even had high
Such a lucky minister can let him enter the house. What ability does he have?
Even though he was pushed out of Bianliang, several big shots unanimously did not hold him accountable... and some of the close confidants of several big shots revealed that it was a pity to let Song Wen leave Bianliang at this point.
.
The brothel houses that dominated Bianliang brought out a bunch of brothel ladies worth as much as courtesans, and drove the four major brothels that were once prosperous to the point of ecstasy. Who is this person? Is there any hidden backer behind him?
The most important thing is, what can he bring to himself? The hundred or so refugee youths he gathered are nothing, but this force has begun to intimidate the entire Taoshan County...Sun Xianwei...Sun Xianwei...
Doesn’t the person named Sun think that he is closely connected with the activities of those thieves in Daqingshan? He is just a sponsor, and he doesn’t even have a serious academic title. How can he compare with himself? He just wants to stay here.
I'm just trying to make some money out of this place, but I want to get promoted step by step!
If Song Wen is really sensible, it is not impossible to let him deal with the thieves in Daqingshan... What's the harm in helping him when the time comes?
A confidant knocked on the door... "Master, Song Wen and Song Dutou want to see you!"
coming!!!
Chief Meng chuckled. It seemed that Song Wen was not willing to be lonely. He left the colorful world of Bianliang and still wanted to have some troubles in this remote country... No matter how good he was, he was a human being! Isn't it about mutual fulfillment?
Well……
"Let him come in directly and be polite!"
"I understand, little one."
Song Wen felt a little uncomfortable about having ten cars and horses impounded during the day, but if he didn't shock everyone in Taoshan County and show how tyrannical his Qingshan Village was when he first arrived, he was afraid that there would be people who didn't have the foresight to plot against him again.
However, the relationship needed to be improved. Song Wen brought a letter of money directly to the backyard of the county government office of Chief Meng. When he came, he came out quietly from the back door of the military camp. Song Wen also wanted to test the relationship between Chief Meng and Mr. Meng.
Is there any tacit understanding between Sun County Lieutenants? If the two chief officials of Taoshan County are all colluding with the thieves, then I should stop playing.
The butler collected the money politely, and then took Song Wen to Master Meng's study. Master Meng sat on the main seat with a calm expression and waved his hands... "Show me your seat and serve tea to Mr. Song."
Song Wen bowed his hands in salute and sat down. Chief Meng exchanged a few words at first, and then the conversation changed and vaguely mentioned Song Wen's business in Bianliang... Song Wen knew that these things could not be hidden from others, so he agreed.
After a few perfunctory words, some things still cannot be taken too seriously, especially with these evil-minded civil servants.
"The money and food shortage in Taoshan County has made the soldiers and volunteers of Qingshan Village feel wronged... However, Taoist priest Wang once suggested that if Song Dutou does business in the county in the future, Song Dutou will be exempted from the tax for three years.
!”
Song Wen cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Mr. Registrar, for your care. Song is very grateful."
Chief Meng frowned: "Taoshan County is a remote and remote area, but there are many unruly people! A group of fishermen in Beihe Bend are disobedient to the rivers and lakes, and the fish tax and head tax cannot be collected every year... This is one of them, and more
The most troublesome thing is the Daqingshan Mountain that connects the four borders!"
Song Wen's heart moved. Chief Meng was really too lazy to go around in circles! As long as he took the initiative to mention it, it meant that Sun County Lieutenant had colluded with the Daqingshan thieves, and he would have already been dissatisfied...
Originally, Song Wen felt that with Master Meng's pretentious background as a Jinshi, it was impossible for him to take huge risks and collude with Sun Xianwei for a few dollars. If he wanted to occupy a greater status and benefits, especially
If you get a bigger place to live and settle down, you must gain greater military exploits!
In a poor and remote place, what other military exploits can there be besides suppressing bandits? This chapter has been completed!
