In the past few days, many people have asked him this question, and Jiang Yuan is also vague and prevaricating, after all, in his opinion, even if the demon clan does not come this year, it will not come next year, but the matter of county defense, at any time, must not be careless, this is to prevent trouble, otherwise once the demon clan comes, it will inevitably be full of corpses and families.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the county office, and it intensified.

Xia Bozhong walked in from outside, his face was a little ugly: "My lord, those people are making trouble again." ”

The group of people mentioned in Xia Bozhong's mouth are the rich people in the county and their families, since Chu Xian strictly ordered to demolish their property to build the arrow tower, these people have come to make trouble every day, and there is no violence, just sit at the door of the county ya, crying, what family can't open the pot, the county Cheng has cut off their livelihood, and some people say that demon prevention is to work the people and hurt money, waste the county's money, with these silver, it is better to help the difficult households, and even some people say bluntly that Lord Chu Xian is making money, that is, seeking personal gain, and harming the people.

However, this last kind of statement is also said behind the scenes, and I still dare not say it on the surface, and if I dare to talk nonsense like this in front of the officials, it will not be cost-effective for you to be arrested.

But these people have been making a fuss in the past few days, and the entire county has been rumored and spread fiercely.

"My lord, just arrest these troublemakers, if you let them mess around like this, I don't know how many people will be bewitched by them, and those who don't know what they are doing will think that you are really seeking personal gain. Xia Bozhong said at this time, with a murderous aura on his face.

Chu Xian waved his hand.

"These people wish you to arrest them, and besides, they know very well that the law does not blame the people, especially this kind of gossip, and punish them, but it gives them a reason to continue to make trouble, and now that it is cold, they will make a fuss for a while and go back. ”

After a while, sure enough, as Chu Xian said, the people who were making trouble outside saw that no one came out to take care of them, and the cold wind outside the door was shining, it was really cold, the cold wind drilled down the neck and collar, and it was okay to stay for a while, after a long time, I really couldn't stand it.

So, these people made trouble for a while, and when they saw that no one cared about them, they stopped fighting and went back by themselves.

Because it's cold.

In Chu Xian's study, a charcoal fire was lit, so it was hot.

At this moment, Chu Xian put down the document in his hand, and the righteous pen in his hand also turned into a streamer and dissipated.

"Xia Wenwen, what news is there from Zhenxi City Mansion?" Chu Xian asked at this time, and at this time, Xia Bozhong next to him shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, no." ”

"Where's the Assassin's Mansion?"

"Neither!"

"The Changshi Mansion and the Military Mansion Sima ......"

Seeing Xia Bozhong shaking his head, Chu Xian stopped asking.

Obviously, after so many days, the advice of his book has not been taken seriously at all, and he may not even have read it carefully.

This is also helpless, if Chu Xian is not a small county, or his official position is higher, or his official position is more important, he will not be ignored like this. Or, the argument that the night of the blood moon is approaching and that the demon clan will make a comeback is too alarmist, and these officials don't like to hear it when they see it, so they will ignore it.

Anything is possible.

At this time, Xia Bozhong said again: "However, I heard that the city defense army in Zhenxi Mansion has been moving frequently in the past few days, and there are signs of army transfers from the hinterland of Liangzhou to the borders of various places. ”

When Chu Xian heard this, his spirits perked.

Perhaps, his previous efforts were not in vain, even if his remarks were a bit 'alarmist', but for the sake of insurance, at least the high-level officials in Liangzhou, such as the Changshi Mansion and the Military Government, still took some actions to prevent it.

That's enough.

Chu Xian suddenly had a feeling that because of his appearance, in this life, the situation between the demon clan and Liangzhou would be completely different from the previous life.

The carp tail moved, stirring the river.

Ten of the eleven village chiefs under the rule of Dinghai County were summoned by Chu Xian, including the chief of Luojia Village, who was the village chief, also known as the officer.

Luojia Village was previously severely rectified by Chu Xian as a key point, not only beheading the Tianfomen missionary monks in the village in public, but also killing several die-hard villagers.

Without the bewitchment of the Heavenly Buddha Gate, the villagers thought about the absurd things over the years, many of them were repentant, and Chu Xian had already arranged for Xia Bozhong to send the gentlemen to teach in various villages, guided by the righteous path, and taught humane governance and etiquette craftsmanship, although the world is not long, but compared to other villages, Luojia Village is already much better.

However, there are also some people in the village who do not change their dead nature, even if Chu Xian asked someone to bulldoze the incense temple gate of the Heavenly Buddha Gate, but these people still secretly worship at home, and often curse Chu Xian, the parent official, is really ignorant.

And the only lieutenant governor who did not arrive was from Hedi Village, which was much richer than the other villages, and in addition, the governor was also a relative of a wealthy family in the county.

Chu Xian offended several wealthy families in the county because of the matter of land acquisition to build the arrow tower, so even with them, their relatives also regarded Chu Xian as an enemy.

But this kind of deliberate disobedience is the first one.

"What's going on in Hedi Village?" Chu Xian asked after understanding the situation.

Jiang Yuan said on the side: "Zhang Lifu, the head of Hedi Village, said that there were many affairs in the village, and he said that the heavy snow closed the mountain, so he didn't come. ”

"Oh!"

Chu Xian said Oh, the implication is very, at this moment, Chu Xian's official power emerged, and the other ten lieutenants below immediately felt that Mount Tai was overwhelmed, and they bowed their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.

"My lord, why don't I go to Hedi Village and report the relocation of the villagers to take refuge, just see what Zhang Lifu says. At this time, Xia Bozhong took the initiative to ask.

Chu Xian thought for a moment and nodded.

There are more than 40 households and more than 100 people in Hedi Village, which is the smallest of several villages, and all of them are mainly young and middle-aged, as long as there is time, they can be migrated in a few days.

Xia Bozhong is steady, it's okay to let him run, and now the county can't do without Chu Xian, otherwise Chu Xian doesn't mind going there in person.

The remaining ten lieutenant chiefs, Chu Xian was not polite to them, he was a county magistrate, so he directly ordered the ten lieutenants to go back immediately and arrange for the villagers to move and take refuge.

At this time, a lieutenant chief thought for a while and said, "Lord County, how long will this evacuation last?"

Chu Xian said: "Come to the county seat for three months, and after three months, you can return." ”

Another lieutenant chief asked: "There are many villagers, how to solve the problem of food and clothing in the residence?"

Chu Xian said: "Bring your own clothes, food, and the county will take care of it." ”

"That's good, that's good. He said, "Well, it's easy to go back." ”

There is also the chief said: "Lord County, with all due respect, there are already rumors flying below, saying that Lord County Cheng, you are using the night of the blood moon is approaching, and the large-scale invasion of the demon clan is an excuse to collect money, and the heavenly anger and resentment are made, and the missionary monks of the Tianfomen are even more used as an excuse to lash out, and also say that you want to move the villagers in order to occupy their land, saying that you are the reincarnation of the demon and harming the world, although the rumors are not credible, but it is inevitable that some people will believe it, I am afraid that some villagers will not be willing to move to the county seat." ”

As soon as he said this, the room suddenly fell silent, and a pin drop could be heard in an instant.

Whoever doesn't know this, their hearts are the same as Spiegel, they have been crazy outside these days, and in private, they are cursing Chu Xian, the county lord.

Even, I heard that some people have proposed to write a blood book for all people, which should be sent to the city government, to the Changshi Mansion and even the Assassin History Mansion, demanding the removal of Chu Xian, the county prince.

This is no joke.

Once an official is dismissed by the people in blood, it is a stain, and it is almost impossible to be used again, and from now on not only will he bear the infamy, but also the career will be interrupted, which is equivalent to being sentenced to 'be sentenced to be executed' in the officialdom.

In the room, everyone looked at Chu Xian to see how this county lord dealt with this thorny problem.

Chu Xian turned his head at this time and asked Qi Chengxiang and Jiang Yuan: "Chief Qi Dao, Master Jiang, how much has the county army recruited?"

In the past few days, the scope of recruitment has been expanded to the whole county, and the salary has been raised, so even if someone is making trouble in secret, there are still people who come to apply.

After all, when you become a county army, you can support a family with just a salary.

In addition, in order to reassure people, Chu Xian even paid the salary in advance, so that with the first one, there will be a second one, so he has really recruited a lot of people in the past few days, but Chu Xian doesn't know the specific number.

Jiang Yuan knew more about this matter, and said at the moment: "In the past few days, the recruitment of the county army has reached a hundred. ”

Jiang Yuan's words were not explained, but Chu Xian understood.

Jiang Yuan meant that the number of recruits had exceeded 100 people, because the standard quota of the county army was 100 people, and it was not allowed to be more, but Chu Xian instructed that he could recruit as many as he could, and if there were more, he would nominally say that he was the nurse of Jiang Yuan's family, but in fact, whether it was equipment or salary, it was all in accordance with the standards of the county army, including training.

The matter of military training is controlled by Qi Chengxiang with full authority, and he directly teaches the regular army the 'Hundred Battles Knife Method', which has a total of five styles, simple and direct, not fancy, and may not be able to deal with more powerful warriors, but when it comes to fighting, it is extremely lethal.

At this time, Chu Xian said directly: "The relocation of the villagers is a government order, and since it is a government order, it must be obeyed, which village does not follow it, directly send the county army over, that is, arrest it, and also arrest the villagers back to the county seat for me." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Qi Chengxiang immediately said, for Chu Xian's orders, he has always carried out them without reservation, without the slightest discount.

However, when the inner chief below heard it, he was surprised.

"This, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, my lord, if the villagers are unwilling, so forced, even at the expense of arresting people, I am afraid that it will lead to a greater backlash, and there will be more people who hate the county government." A lieutenant chief spoke.

Others, apparently, think the same thing.

After all, they haven't heard of any county magistrate in any place who dares to do this, just because they don't obey the government order? This is to make a big deal happen.
