Hundreds of people from Jiuqi Mountain, because they were recruited by bandits, even though they were registered in the army, they were still a little uneasy. Lou Jing waved his hand and asked Lin Dahu to take care of this group of people. Seeing the original leader, the bandits felt that Feeling relieved, Lin Dahu was also very grateful for Lou Jing's generosity, and gradually integrated into this military camp, becoming a qualified young general.

Lou Jing's arm was almost healed, so he took the soldiers who had been gearing up for many days and started to sweep away the bandits in the four southern counties. The terrain was complicated, starting from the nearest Jiuchang.

The bandits in Jiangzhou are rampant, largely because they are united. Once the officers and soldiers attack the mountain, they will run away if they can't hold it, and they will come back after the officers and soldiers leave.

Every time Lou Jing went to a cottage, he would seal off all the roads first, so that he could catch the turtle in the urn. For those cottages with too many forks and easy escape, they directly attacked the mountain and demolished the empty villages, only waiting for them to run to other cottages and catch them all.

Usually when officers and soldiers fight wars, they always pay attention to rules and regulations. Otherwise, Lou Jing can use all kinds of harmful tactics, such as poisoning the water, burning mountains, robbing bandits of food and grass, and even paying the counterfeit cooks to pour laxatives into the meals. The bandits were beaten so badly that they shouted loudly.

In less than a month, the cottage in Jiuchang County has been greatly threatened. Several bandit leaders from the top of the mountain gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This Zhennan general is too shady, we are no match for him at all." Several bandit chiefs were frowning, it was the first time they had seen such a general, not to mention that the court was decent, he was shameless and skinless, worse than them Face.

"The day before yesterday he captured the eldest son of Xiaoyin Mountain, tied him to the foot of the mountain and set fire to him. If he doesn't surrender, he will burn his mother." One person said dejectedly, there were various reasons for their fall, but they were not all. Many of them have family members living in Jiangzhou, relying on the protection of bandit relatives to live in peace.

"Head-to-head is not enough," one person said, "Let's go and surrender!" He had surrendered before, but at worst, he would run away after losing the army's food and grass in a few days.

So, on this day, the remaining bandit leaders from the four southern counties came to the camp in mighty force.

There were two rows of officers and soldiers in the middle tent, each holding a big knife, with a cold expression on their faces. Several bandit leaders watched their hearts beating, and honestly knelt down to express their willingness to be recruited.

Lou Jing looked coldly at these bandit leaders of all shapes and colors, some with thick backs and some with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks. Just looking at their faces, they couldn't tell whether they were sincere or not, so they simply stopped looking, "If you are willing to surrender, you will be happy."

The faces of several people showed joy, it seems that this trick was used correctly, this young second-rank general is easy to talk to.

"But..." Lou Jing tapped the table with one finger, and the hearts of the people on the ground hung up again.

At this moment, General Wuwei Huaxi City took a bill and presented it to Lou Jing.

Lou Jing opened the account, stopped on one page, and slowly read out the names of a few people, "Li Ce, Xu Yuan, Lu Ke, where are the three?"

The three people who were named looked at each other in blank dismay, and took a step forward, not knowing why.

"Drag it out and chop it up." Lou Jing closed the account book and leaned on the tiger leather chair.

"What!" The three of them were startled, but before they could react, the soldiers on both sides had surrounded them, grabbed them and tied them tightly.

"These people were the ones who pretended to ask for safety before, but then fell into trouble," Lou Jing curled her lips coldly, "The recruiting is just to save a little trouble for the general, if it causes more trouble instead, don't blame the general for being cruel!"

"Forgive me, General, General, we came here sincerely—" The three of them were dragged out, and their heads were beheaded in front of the entire army.

The few bandit leaders who were still kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

In this way, in just one month, the bandits in Jiuchang County and the six counties under it were basically wiped out by Lou Jing's thunderous means, and nearly 2,000 bandits were recruited into the barracks.

After setting up the bandits who came to surrender, Lou Jing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The army did not have enough food and grass, and it cost twice as much to fight the war than usual. The military salary was directly allocated by the imperial court to the Jiangzhou governor. The old boy has not been able to fight these days, so he opened a warehouse to release food to resettle the refugees, using this as an excuse to deduct the military pay of the four southern counties. In fact, if these people did not come to surrender, he would not go to attack the mountain again in the near future.

The common people couldn't believe it. The bandits who had been harming them for many years were gone. It took half a month before they really dared to walk on the official road. Jiuchang County became lively for a while, and some closed shops reopened. opened.

The Zhao family finally received the last sum of money from selling Yanyin, along with a letter from Zhao Xi.

"There are many nerds in Hanlin, and they are quite boring. Recently, they are editing history books. They admire the victories of Taizu's Southern Conquest and Northern War, and lament that my life is not at the right time. Why don't I resign and go to Jiangzhou to be a military advisor with you. I can also fulfill my long-cherished wish..." Lou Jing put away the letter in his hand amusedly, this Zhao Jiu, who said to be a military adviser, must have thought that the promotion in the Imperial Academy was too slow, and he had some crooked ideas.

"My lord, what kind of candy do you want?" The owner of the candy shop asked with a smile.

Lou Jing looked at the candies in the store, except for the white sugar, the snacks were mainly maltose and scale candy. Jiangzhou produces sugar cane, and there are quite a lot of sugar buyers here. Now that the bandits have been wiped out, the shops in Jiuchang City are also flourishing, and the sugar buyers are thinking about doing more tricks.

"If you want better sugar, my lord, I still have the amber candy I just made today. You can try it, my lord." The shopkeeper opened a wooden drawer, inside was a layer of rice paper, and on the paper were rows of crystal clear sweets. The amber candy looks very nice.

Lou Jing took one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious. It should be made from honey and caramel. "Weigh this for me and put it in a sugar jar."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper smiled happily. Amber candy was expensive, and only rich people in the city would buy it. It sold two catties at once, which was considered a good deal.

"Does the store know how to make milk and honey?" Lou Jing held the sugar jar to Yun Yi, and asked about milk candy again. He went all over the streets and alleys of Jiuchang City, but he didn't see anyone selling this kind of candy. This store is the largest, and there is no one.

"I've heard of this, but I haven't done it," the owner thought for a while, "If the guest officer wants it, I can try it."

"That's great." Lou Jing finally smiled, and readily paid the deposit.

Back at the barracks, someone reported that the county guard, Mr. Yang, had come.

"How about the general come in?" Yang Xing stood up and greeted Lou Jing.

"My lord came just in time, I really need to trouble you." Lou Jing smiled and asked Yang Xing to sit down.

"You don't have to be so polite with the little old man if you have something to do." Yang Xing said with a smile, because the bandits were wiped out, and the people were happy and healthy, and they wanted to present gifts to the general but didn't know how to deliver them, so they sent them to the parents' officer, please. He forwarded it on his behalf.

Lou Jing looked at the gift list, there were eggs, food, cloth, and even steamed buns, steamed buns, and bacon. She couldn't help but chuckled, "Master Yang is really trusted by the people."

Yang Xing smiled helplessly, he has always been gentle to the people, people in Jiuchang City often don't regard him as the governor of the county, as if he is a warm-hearted neighbor, "The little girl has arrived in Beijing, thanks to the eldest son to take care of her."

Mrs. Wei has already returned to the mansion, and she is picky about Mrs. Yang. At first, Mrs. Yang did not dare to disobey Mrs. Wei, and took care of her every day. Although Lou Jianyu was quite new to the concubine, he didn't care too much about women's affairs, and Mrs. Yang was not talkative, so he was wronged for a few days.

It wasn't until the maid of Zhuque Hall took the opportunity to say something to her, "Master Guo is straightforward and doesn't care about the inner house."

Mrs. Yang thought about it carefully for a while, and understood the meaning of it. When it was scheduled the next morning, she deliberately went a little late. Wei Shi really got angry and reprimanded her very much. It happened that Lou Jianyu was resting in the main room, and heard that she said impatiently, "What's the big deal", Yang Shi was relieved. The Wei family is just a stern and soft-hearted person, and An Guogong does not fully support the royal family, which gives her room to breathe, groping for the doorway, and her life is finally much easier.

Lou Jing waved his hand, he didn't intend to say too much on this matter, he knew more about the affairs of Duke Anguo's mansion than Yang Xing, "I have two things for you to do, one is to ask you to help me buy some land in Jiuchang, The second is to help build a Zhennan General's Mansion." Saying so, he pushed a box of bank notes to Yang Xing.

"How dare you refuse to obey the entrustment of the son, but this bank note must not be accepted first. When the officials go back, let the master take care of the field and calculate the materials, and then it will not be too late." Yang Xing quickly declined, this time But now he doesn't dare to ask for more money from the Lou family.

"That's fine," Lou Jing didn't insist, "I'm going to leave for a few days, and the banknotes will be left with the guards. Your lord has an idea, so just discuss it with him." He said, pointing to Yunba.

After explaining all the trivial matters, Lou Jing took two sugar jars and set off for Fujian Province.

Minzhou has a lot of affairs, but it is much more difficult to manage than Lou Jing's four counties. Xiao Chengjun has been very busy this month, and the two of them have only been three days away, but they have never seen each other.

The Fujian Prince's Mansion was built years ago, and it was almost June, and it was finally repaired. Lou Jing took a few Youyun Guards and ran all the way, directly rushing into Prince Min's Mansion, but saw no one.

The mansion was silent, it looked deserted, the servants were dressed in plain clothes, and the tablecloths and curtains were all replaced with plain ones, which gave Lou Jing a bad feeling.

"What's going on here? Where's the prince?" Lou Jing anxiously asked Le Xian who came to change his clothes.

"My lord has gone to the beach." Le Xian looked around and whispered, "Yesterday there was news from the middle of Beijing that the fourth prince died."

"Who?" Lou Jing's heart skipped a beat, the prince is dead...

"It's the fourth prince," Le Xian put away the joy on his usual face, and said in a low voice, "Last month, he fought with the Tartars, fell into a trap, and was shot dead."
