Three Hundred and Forty-Five: The Storm in Beijing (2)

Chongzhou, Shangyu County and Canglan County are adjacent to the northern border.

The food output in northern Xinjiang is very little. Groups of horse bandits often raid homes and plunder gold, silver, jewelry, rice, grain and livestock. If a more beautiful and younger woman is caught, it will be difficult to escape. Qi Guanrang's mother is this She was so miserable that she had no choice but to get pregnant with him.

However, at that time, Northern Xinjiang was still afraid of Dongqing's national power and pretended to be a grandson with his tail between his legs.

When Qi Guan Rang's mother was returned, she was already three months old. She had lost her virginity before getting married and was pregnant again. The neighbors around her were pointing fingers, and her parents even bluntly denied her. She could only marry Qi Guan Rang with tears in her eyes. His father later settled in Shangyu County.

This was more than 20 years ago, and it was the norm at that time, so there were not a few people like Qi Guan Rang.

The foreign tribes in northern Xinjiang refused to admit their existence, and the people of Dongqing regarded it as a shame, like rats in a bellows, suffering from both sides.

Since the three cities in Shangyu County fell to the hands of Northern Xinjiang, the lives of the people on the border have become even more difficult. Every house is closed, and women are afraid to show up. There are many horse bandits, who come and go like the wind. Once they rob, they will leave immediately and take a shot. If you change the place, you won't be able to catch anyone even if you want to.

Everyone is in danger, and the people are miserable.

However, the situation has improved slightly in recent years.

In the past, no one dared to come to Chongzhou to be a state shepherd, so the officialdom here was like a mess, and officials, big and small, pretended to be deaf and dumb to the complaints of the people.

A few years ago, Liu She, the governor of Hu County, was promoted to Chongzhou Mu, and the people finally had a backbone.

After Liu She took office, he spent a lot of time clearing out the horse bandits.

Originally he wanted to do it step by step, but after asking Jiang Pengji for his opinion, he changed his original intention.

"Those who are bitches will be bitches by others. Northern Xinjiang is shameless, why should we give them face?" Jiang Pengji replied to Liu She's letter with a sneer, "I don't believe that these horse bandits are really horse bandits, ordinary people Can horse bandits get so many high-quality fast horses? Are ordinary horse bandits so capable and clear these terrain routes? Even if there are wild horse bandits, most of them are domesticated. , was caught, it’s better to say that it was done by horse bandits than by saying that it was done by the Northern Xinjiang Army.”

On the contrary, killing the horse bandits is better than killing the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang. The three tribes in Northern Xinjiang have no shame in interceding for some "horse bandits".

After careful consideration, Liu She adopted Jiang Pengji's opinion.

kill!

If you catch one, kill the other.

Catch a pair and kill a pair!

Once a horse bandit is caught, he will be killed regardless of the crime!

Government notices are posted in various counties and counties. Once people find traces of horse bandits, they should report them immediately. If the reports are true, they will be rewarded heavily!

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. When this directive was first promulgated, it had little effect.

The "horse bandits" did not pay attention to these orders, and the people on the border did not dare to trust the government, so the pace of clearing the horse bandits stagnated.

It happened that at that time Qi Guan Rang and his newlywed wife returned to Shangyu County to pay homage to the deceased mother.

As soon as he heard about this, he made his own suggestion.

Qi Guan gave way and said, "Chongzhou has been without a leader for a long time. The people's hearts and minds are scattered, and they are quite suspicious of the government. It will naturally take a lot of effort to gather them again. In the previous dynasty, there were still people who had moved to establish trust. Why don't you follow suit, sir, maybe you can improvement."

Move wood and establish trust?

Liu She suddenly felt enlightened and arranged for people to prepare for this matter.

As long as the people see someone reporting horse bandits and receiving tangible benefits as a result, this is the most powerful propaganda.

After some preparations, progress was gradually made, and the life of the "horse bandits" became even more difficult.

Regarding the "horse bandits", Liu She's execution method was very uniform, killing people and leaving horses.

After catching several waves of horse bandits, Liu She found that except for a few bad horses, the others were all good horses that had been carefully tamed.

As Jiang Pengji said, can an ordinary horse bandit get such a good horse?

As a result, the identities of these "horse bandits" are also coming out.

Liu She saw through things without telling them, and followed the rules step by step.

They were killed when they needed to be killed, and arrested when they needed to be. Their heads were hung for public display. Even though the officials in Northern Xinjiang looked as black as the bottom of a pot, they had the right to pretend that they could not see it.

After more than a year, the atmosphere in the border counties of northern Xinjiang has taken on a new look.

Although it is not stable and wealthy, it is much better than the trembling days before.

Qi Guanrang took his wife to visit his late mother's grave and paid a visit to his mentor. He actually heard from his mentor that the concubine of the Liu family had married into the royal family.

"The concubine of Liu Mansion married into the royal family?"

After hearing the news, Qi Guan paused his feather fan and his expression changed slightly.

Nowadays, he has started to grow a beard, and his face is gloomy, making him look a bit older than his actual age.

Qi Guan asked his mentor to nod and said, "Some people mentioned this happy event a few days ago and expressed their desire to send some local products to the Prefectural Mufu."

In the past, the people were afraid of the government like a wolf, but now they are happy because Liuzhou Mu's daughter is getting married. This shows how Liu She has won the hearts of the people.

Of course, it's not that Liu She did a good job, it's just that he did better than his predecessor.

"At this time?"

Qi Guanrang asked again, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The mentor asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

Qi Guanrang always regarded his mentor as his biological father and told him everything he knew.

"It's very wrong. I'm afraid Liu Langjun will be in trouble." Qi Guan gave way, "Today's Shangjing is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I'm afraid there will be no return."

These days, Qi Guanrang and his mentor talked freely about the general trend of the world, and analyzed the situation in Dongqing the most.

Hearing what Qi Guan Rang said, my mentor was moved in his heart and said in surprise, "You mean..."

"I'm afraid that's the case." Qi Guanrang nodded.

The mentor frowned and said, "I remember you once said that Liu Mansion was kind to you. Is there any way to resolve this matter?"

"Don't be afraid." Qi Guanrang smiled suddenly, "Although it is dangerous to go to Beijing, it can't trap Mr. Liu Lang. However... when the teacher said this, the disciple thought of something. Time is running out, and we have to leave in a few days. I can no longer be filial to my teacher.”

"What's going on?" Qi Guanrang's mentor asked casually.

Qi Guan gave way, "My disciple once responded to a person and helped him when he needed it most. Now the time is coming."

"opportunity?"

"The day you go to Beijing and break the city is when the opportunity comes."

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

With the protection of 5,000 bodyguards, the wedding procession brought the bride into the capital city without incident.

"After several years, this place is still as lively and prosperous... After so many years, there has been no change..."

She seemed to be feeling emotional, but in fact she was talking to the audience in the live broadcast room.

[Smuggling into Africa]: I suddenly remembered my hometown. I went away to study for four years in college. When I returned home after graduation, I almost couldn’t recognize the road. I can only lament that society is developing rapidly, the times are changing with each passing day, and my hometown looks different every day...

[Old driver Lian Meng]: # Hold your cheek, this is normal. In ancient times, it was an agricultural society and productivity was very weak. This is an indisputable fact.

The ancient times were different from the era where the audience in the live broadcast room was, and even more different from Jiang Pengji's world. The development and changes here were almost stagnant. Even after two or three years, let alone two or three years, the building construction would not be much. changes. Fried mushrooms in oil said_(:3　∠)_The fever has finally subsided. In addition to my throat, I still have a sore throat and can't swallow food or drink. I feel like I can be cured by taking two more medicines. But again, the medicine is too bitter!
