Taihu County is no different from when it left two years ago.

Yang Congyi took Jiang Kai on a two-day trip and rushed to the Yamen of Taihu County in the afternoon of the next day.

There was a servant who looked at Yang Congyi and felt very familiar, but he didn't dare to call out rashly, so he could only ask, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”

The official was also so polite, which made Yang Congyi a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I'm tired to inform Xu Zhixian that the Xuanwei Army has come to Taihu County to recruit troops, and I hope to cooperate with it, so it's convenient." ”

"Wait, both of you." After speaking, the official walked into the door quickly and went inside to report.

Yang Congyi and Jiang Kai tied their horses to the tethered horses, and when they tied their horses and tidied up their clothes, the officials also came out.

"Lord Zhixian is invited, the two of you come in with me."

The official led the way, and Yang Congyi and the others followed.

As soon as he entered the yamen and met a person, Yang Congyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhang Zhutou!" ”

After a short period of reflection, he finally remembered who the person in front of him was, and was surprised: "Yang Zhutou, why did you get here?" ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's a bit of a matter to come back." Zhang Zhutou, weren't you trapped in Tianzhu Mountain two years ago? ”

Zhang Biao smiled bitterly: "We were arrested by bandits, locked up for a few months and then released, it's a long story." It's Yang Zhutou, I heard earlier that you went to Lin'an when you came out of Tianzhu Mountain, how about coming in? ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's okay, I'm going to stay in Taihu Lake for a while, and I'll talk again when I have time." ”

Zhang Biao said: "Okay, you are busy with you first, and I will look for you when I have time." ”

Yang Congyi hugged his fists and said goodbye to Zhang Biao, and Jiang Kai went to see Xu Zhixian with the officials.

In the living room, Yang Congyi and Jiang Kai didn't sit for a long time when they saw a person in a cyan official uniform come out.

The man smiled as he walked: "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, Xu has lost his welcome, atoning for his sins." ”

The two got up, and Yang Congyi smiled and said, "Lord Xu is polite." I waited for the army to come to recruit troops and disturb him, causing trouble to Lord Xu, and Lord Xu forgave his sins. ”

Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "It's all for the imperial court, why bother." You may be seated. ”

The three of them sat down one after the other.

Xu Zhixian said: "Xuanwei Army came to Taihu County to recruit troops this time, and Lord Chen has already informed Xu, but I don't know what the two of them are called, what are their positions?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "My surname is Yang, and I am temporarily the Xuanwei Army Supervisor." This surname is Jiang, and he is temporarily joining the army. ”

Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "It turned out that Yang Jianjun and Jiang joined the army, they are really young and promising, and it is rare." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "I don't know about the recruitment, has Lord Xu sent someone to notify the townships and towns?" ”

Xu Zhixian said: "I received the document from Huaining earlier, and I have already ordered it to go down, I don't know if it has reached the townships and towns." But come to think of it, it should be soon. ”

When Yang Congyi heard this, his heart moved, and he didn't study it carefully, and then asked: "We came to Taihu County to recruit troops, and we are not familiar with the place, so there are many inconveniences, I wonder if Lord Xu can arrange a place to recruit troops and mobilize ten more officials to assist?" ”

Xu Zhixian said: "This is a bit difficult to do. After a little hesitation, he said: "Taihu County is a poor and remote place, either mountains or water, recruiting troops need to find a spacious place, there are many people in the city, there is no half an acre of vacant land, the place for recruiting troops is located in the city, I am afraid that it is not possible, there is a large vacant land in the west of the city, and you can camp in the village as a place to recruit troops." As for the government officials, Taihu County has a large population and complicated affairs, so it is really impossible to transfer manpower. But recruiting the army is a major event in the imperial court, even if there is no one in the yamen, Xu has to support it, ten people can't be transferred, and five people can barely do it. ”

Yang Congyi's face changed slightly, on the land of Taihu County, Xu Zhixian is the emperor of the soil, no matter how unhappy he is, he has to listen to others, he instantly regained his smile and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Xu for your great help, without further ado, please Lord Xu will allocate manpower and go with us to recruit troops." ”

Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "Yang Jianjun is still an anxious man. Originally, I wanted to wash the dust for the two of you, but since the recruitment of the army is urgent, then when you finish recruiting the army, Xu will invite the two of you to a banquet. ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Lord Xu has a heart, there is no need to catch the wind, I have to go back to Huaining after the army is recruited." ”

Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "Okay, then I wish the two of you a smooth recruitment." Then he shouted, "Someone." ”

Immediately a servant came in and was at his command.

"You go to Wang Bantou and ask him to transfer five people to recruit troops with Yang Jianjun."

The official replied and hurried out.

Yang Congyi got up and said goodbye: "Thank you Lord Xu for your help, the military situation is urgent, and it is inconvenient to bother again, so I will leave." ”

Xu Zhixian said with a smile: "The two of you go slowly, Xu is busy with official business, so I will not be far away." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Lord Xu stays." ”

The two of them said goodbye, quickly walked out of the living room, and walked straight to the yamen.

"Lord Yang......"

"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Kai was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Congyi.

When I came to the entrance of the yamen, I saw many officials gathering.

"Yang catches the head!" Seeing Yang Congyi approaching, several officials surrounded him, extremely excited.

Yang Congyi looked at it, although he couldn't name him, they had entered Tianzhu Mountain together, and they were all acquaintances.

"Are you all right?" Yang Congyi asked with a smile.

"What are you doing around the door, nothing to do?" Suddenly, a reprimand came from behind him, and the officials instantly shut up and were speechless, and turned away.

"Don't go, all of you."

After that, a group of leaders appeared in front of Yang Congyi and said with a sneer: "Lord Yang, Lord Xu asked me to allocate some people to assist in recruiting troops, and Lord Yang knows them?" ”

Yang Congyi nodded and was silent.

The team leader smiled: "Since you know them, let them help Lord Yang recruit troops." ”

Seeing Yang Congyi nodding, the team leader immediately said in a loud voice: "The four of you will recruit with Lord Yang, and then find Zhang Biao and let him go too." ”

"Lord Yang, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" The head of the squad laughed.

Yang Congyi nodded, and then smiled at the four officials: "Fortunately, you guys." ”

The four of them laughed dryly, not daring to agree. In the past, the officials who drilled mountains and climbed trees like them are now officials and adults, although they were familiar with each other before, but at this time, they dare to speak casually.

Not long after, Zhang Biao was also called by other officials.

The team leader said loudly: "Zhang Biao, the five of you listen to Lord Yang's orders, go to recruit troops with Lord Yang, do things well, don't be lazy and slippery!" Otherwise, I won't be soft-hearted. ”

Yang Congyi looked at the appearance of the team leader, and felt very uncomfortable, these people were all born and died with him, but now they are called like this.

But in the land of a county, there are county officials in charge, even Lord Chen can't manage Taihu County, as the saying goes, county officials are not as good as the current management, not to mention that Taihu County and Huaining are still hundreds of miles apart, Chen Daren's military recruitment documents, Xu Zhixian dare to discount, push three obstacles and four do not cooperate, how can there be anything in Taihu County that he can't do, how can others interfere?

"Thank you. Brothers, gone. Yang Congyi beckoned to Zhang Biao and the others, and the five of them quickly followed him out of the yamen.

Seeing that Yang Congyi was going to untie the horse, a servant hurriedly stepped forward: "My lord, I'll come." ”

Another official also went to untie the horses for Jiang Kai.

"Zhang Zhutou, let's go to the west of the city first." At this time, Yang Congyi didn't want to say too much.

A group of seven people, leading two horses, was speechless and came to the west of the city.

The western part of the city has not changed much from two years ago, the forest is green, overgrown with weeds, and reeds more than one person deep are everywhere.

It looks wide, but it is difficult to make a camp, the weeds and trees have to be removed, and when a vacant lot is cleared, the time for recruiting troops is gone. This Xu Zhi County will really dismantle the stage.

"Zhang Zhutou, have you heard of the recruitment of the army?" Yang Congyi suddenly asked.

Zhang Biao said: "I heard about it a few days ago, but no one has said what kind of army to recruit. ”

"Then you didn't go to the towns and villages to convey the matter of recruiting troops." Yang Congyi began to sneer in his heart.

Zhang Biao said: "I didn't let me convey it, but the team leader told everyone." ”

Yang Congyi looked at the trees and weeds in front of him, his thoughts were flying, in Lin'an, everything was covered by Lord Huang, but if there were difficulties, he could coordinate, but in this remote place in Huaixi, it was all the Emperor of the Earth who was in charge, Lord Huang didn't work, even Zhao Gou's words were not necessarily useful, so he could only rely on himself.

"Zhang Zhutou, please pass on the order, recruit troops in the west of the city, open up a camp, a consistent amount of money a day, need a hundred people, the number of places is limited, apply for time every day, and do not wait for the obsolete."

"Consistent money?" The officials' eyes widened, they couldn't earn consistently for half a year.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Yes, it's consistent every day, but every day only the first hundred people who come have money." ”

"Why? Isn't opening a camp as many people as possible? A servant asked.

"Adults can do what they tell them to do, and ask so much what to do. Gone, the order goes. Zhang Biao took the four officials, turned around and left.

Watching Zhang Biao and the others leave, Jiang Kai was indignant and said: "Lord Yang, how can this Xu Zhi County be like this, and he dares to shirk the major affairs of the imperial court." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "I guess I got some kind of faith, if you want to do a big thing, you can't rely on others, and you have to rely on yourself in the end." Xu Zhixian pulled his hind legs, then we don't want his legs. Let's go back to the city, go see someone first, and come back early tomorrow morning. ”

After saying that, the two turned over and got on their horses and urged them to walk towards the city.

"Young master, someone is looking for you outside."

"The lady just fell asleep, what are you shouting?" When Guo Qing came out, it was not a reprimand for the servants who shouted and screamed.

"The little one knows it's wrong." The servant bowed his head and confessed his mistake.

"No matter who looks for me, I haven't seen anyone these days." After Guo Qing finished speaking, he went back to the room.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a woman say: "Lang Jun, go and get busy if you have something, I'm fine." ”

Guo Qing walked quickly to the side of the bed, and complained: "The subordinates screamed and woke up the lady again, and how many times I told them, I just can't remember." Are you okay. He sat down on the edge of the bed.

The woman turned her face and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that the little guy is tossing a lot." ”

Guo Qing smiled: "It's so bad, it must be a son." Listen to Lang Zhong's words, rest more, wait for three months, and it will be good to give birth. ”

The woman laughed: "It's too boring to lie down for three months." ”
