Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue rode two horses and walked towards Mountain Wolf Valley.
Today's Sanhe County is no longer like the previous Sanhe County. There are bandits on every hilltop, and you need to be escorted when traveling.
After Zhang Bao and his team's reforms, not only Sanhe County, but the entire Hezhou Province has changed.
For those people who want to live a serious life, as long as they work hard, they can have food on the table.
It is certainly unrealistic to make everyone rich.
But there will never be a situation like before where people can't eat and people starve to death.
Even if you don't have any skills or land, after Zhang Bao encourages trade, you can still sell some things to maintain basic survival.
Although some people's lives are a little poorer, they finally have hope.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Of course, there will also be people who get something for nothing, people who have crooked ideas, and people who are not doing their jobs properly.
Zhang Bao's attitude is quite simple.
You can become a bandit, but as long as you survive, the military camp of each county must conduct bandit suppression training within its jurisdiction every month. Facing the bandits, there is no question of surrendering, and no one will be left behind.
, eradicate the roots!
The county government can't defeat it, so Fan Hanzhong personally leads the troops!
You can also hang out on the street, but in Hezhou, there is always a group of mysterious people who wander around. There are not many people, but they are cruel and ruthless. Wherever there are bullying men and women, wherever there is fish and meat town, wherever there is power to bully others, they will
will appear there.
For many things, the government has many connections, so they have concerns about taking action.
But it's okay.
After something like this happened, needless to say, the troublemaker would be doomed to be unlucky if there was any big force behind it.
Zhang Bao also knew that in order to maintain Qingming, it was impossible to rely entirely on the yamen, and the yamen also had methods suitable for the yamen. It was impossible for the county magistrates in various places to isolate themselves from the aristocratic families, landlords, etc. within their jurisdiction.
This is also unrealistic for them.
These things naturally need to be done by people in the shadow.
After Zhang Bao's arrangements during this period, people everywhere have become more honest. After this kind of cheating thing happens once or twice, those people who are used to bullying others will naturally be counted.
Many times, without the need for those mysterious people to be dispatched, they would take the initiative to pick up the erring family members and whip them or break their hands and feet in public.
If they don't do this themselves, then when the man in black takes action, it won't just be a matter of this man's limbs being cut off.
Needless to say, the security of the entire Hezhou is also in question.
Now that Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue are out alone, they don't have to worry about the situation like being kidnapped happening again.
For Zhang Bao.
Although there are still some areas that cannot be controlled in Hezhou now, Zhang Bao has tried his best to maintain the stability of Hezhou.
Especially when Shaanzhou attacked Hezhou last time, it caused huge losses because it was too late to react.
So Zhang Bao simply scattered many military camps around the state border.
And dispatched soldiers to patrol continuously.
Some people even randomly conducted interrogations on people in Hezhou.
Not only were a lot of spies deployed by various forces in Hezhou cleared out, they also made the entire state border look like a national border.
No one dares to come in easily.
Although many unsuspecting people were accidentally killed in the process.
But from then on, no one dared to wander around the Hezhou border casually...
Zhang Bao took Su Xiaoyue all the way to Shanlang Valley.
"Unknowingly, Ma Junhou has been dead for three years. Time flies so fast..."
Zhang Bao rode on the horse and said with emotion.
The road was now foggy, and he and Su Xiaoyue walked leisurely.
"Yes, three years ago, we just came out of the village. At that time, we didn't even have enough food to eat. Now my husband is already a state shepherd."
"I have experienced too many things in the past few years."
Su Xiaoyue also nodded.
Three years ago.
Both of them still have a hint of childishness, but now even Su Xiaoyue is much calmer in what they say and do.
"Tell me, will Yan'er come this year?"
Zhang Bao smiled and asked Su Xiaoyue.
"Maybe..."
"Sister Ma has been away for such a long time, and I don't know how she is doing. Now that my husband is a state pastor, he is also capable of doing many things. It would be great if Sister Ma comes back."
Su Xiaoyue also sighed.
On the past two death anniversaries, Zhang Bao had to wait alone in front of Ma Yuanming's tomb for a whole day. It was not until the early morning of the next day that he came back full of exhaustion and disappointment.
Su Xiaoyue knew that Zhang Bao had been waiting for Ma Yaner.
But in the past two years, Ma Yan'er has not been seen back, and her departure is as if she has disappeared. Su Xiaoyue is very worried that if something happens to Ma Yan'er, Zhang Bao may not be able to accept it.
.
"Speaking of this, I have made some discoveries recently."
"Do you still remember that when you were sick, Fang Fu and a few of them sent you medicine and doctors from so far away?"
Zhang Bao thought of something and turned to Su Xiaoyue and asked.
"Of course I remember. I didn't expect that they all came. Xiaoyue was so happy at that time. Xiaoyue knew that they were not coming for me, but for my husband!"
"Because my husband is a state shepherd, and he is also a hero in their eyes!"
Su Xiaoyue said very proudly.
"Um……"
"Not entirely."
Zhang Bao smiled.
"In fact, the most important thing is time. They arrived almost at the same time. I asked them and found that many of them met on the road, so they came together."
"But according to the distress message I sent out at that time, let alone Fang Fu from Beihai County, even Xie Yunsong from Yunzhong County may not arrive so soon."
Zhang Bao said to Su Xiaoyue.
"ah?"
"I forgot about this, so why did they get here in the first place?"
