Governing the place
This is the official side!
The problem is, Fu Bao relied entirely on good luck in her previous life, and she was a very salty scumbag. Generally speaking, she can lie down without sitting, sit without standing, and stand without walking.
In the company, although there are many opportunities, she is definitely the kind of person who cannot support the wall with mud.
When he is most powerful, he is followed by two soldiers.
Of course, she can do the work that needs to be done. After all, there are bonuses for working!
"Then let's impose martial law!"
Xu Laoer didn't get any good advice from Fubao, so he decisively followed the idea in his head.
Although people like Huang Jixiang are not a thing, they are very good at winning people's hearts. They gathered the army and people of the seven towns and gathered tens of thousands of troops.
The Jie Yun Dao side thought of attacking their hearts first and did not launch a large-scale attack on them. Therefore, these troops are still quite complete now.
However, since Xu Laoer took over the command, it was impossible to keep so many troops.
Soldiers are more valuable than finesse, not many.
And those who were removed were transferred to local areas to maintain law and order.
As for the civil affairs in the county
Since the beginning of martial law, there has been no civil affairs, and all matters must be handled in accordance with military law.
Military law is simple, and within a short period of time, it is enough to suppress all troubles here.
As for the long term, once he has established a foothold here, he will naturally have no worries about having no one available.
Besides, as far as the situation in Shicheng County is concerned, the top priority is to allow the people to make money and have enough food and clothing.
Therefore, the problem of water bandits must be solved.
And getting rid of water bandits is not a simple matter.
Water bandits are different from those mountain bandits who fell into disgrace.
The bandits at least have a cottage and a place to stay. But these water bandits, before they transformed into water bandits, might have been just ordinary fishermen or farmers digging in the soil for food.
They come and go without a trace.
Unless we catch them when they are doing evil, it will be difficult to cure this water bandit problem.
Xu Laoer couldn't think of any good solution for a moment, so in the end he had to adopt a stupid method. While opening up shipping, he sent soldiers who were proficient in water skills to escort the ship.
If the water bandits can wreak havoc on the river under such circumstances, then Xu Laoer doesn't mind taking action himself.
"Second brother, you can't do this!"
After learning about his second brother's method of dealing with water bandits, Fu Bao felt that his second brother's method was full of loopholes.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Laoer stared at his little sister. This was the best solution he could think of.
Although this method seems a bit stupid, as long as it can solve the problem of water bandits, a stupid method can also be a good method.
Never would he have thought that before he even took action, his little sister would judge him as not good enough.
"Second brother, you also know that water bandits are not usually water bandits. So, how do you know that the sailors on the ship where the soldiers are on are not water bandits' spies?"
"If there is really an insider of the water bandits on that ship, by then, all the soldiers on that ship may have been poisoned."
"This is simple. I will ask the soldiers who come on board to guard the ship to be alert. They will bring their own food and water!"
"Second brother, why don't you understand?"
Fu Bao sighed, well, even if his second brother is a fox, he is also the stupid one among the many foxes in the old Xu family.
"I mean, since we don't know where the water bandits come from, why don't you let the soldiers hide too?"
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. We are inherently at a disadvantage."
"Well, why don't we go from light to dark?"
"Little sister, how are we going to turn this around?"
Xu Laoer has a big head, "Our people all speak with the accent from Xiangyi Prefecture. If you want to pass yourself off as someone from Jiannan Prefecture, the accent alone will give you away!"
"Second brother, what I mean is that our people can be hidden on some ships!"
"For example, if we transport dozens of ships of silk to the south of the Yangtze River, our people can hide on the cargo ship and pretend to be the goods!"
"Yes, this is a great idea!"
When Xu Laoer heard what Fu Bao said, he was instantly happy, "Hey, your second brother and I are really not suitable for using our brains."
The shipment of such a large amount of goods naturally had to be escorted by military ships.
Xu Laoer quickly arranged for more than 40 ships to be shipped to various prefectures. After buying silver, he bought grain directly from Jiangnan.
In order to prevent water bandits from raiding the fleet, Xu Laoer naturally arranged for a large number of warships to escort him.
As a result, a vast fleet of ships set sail from the dock in Shicheng County.
Xu Laoer was previously worried that the people in the city would be sad because of Huang Jixiang's death, and even clamored for revenge for Huang Jixiang. But in fact, after Huang Jixiang's death, the people in the city were just a large number of people. A funeral was held for him.
Then, when the news spread that Xu Laoer had reopened shipping, no one in the city remembered Huang Jixiang anymore.
The people who were supposed to be able to live a good life seemed to suddenly wake up and took out the goods accumulated at home and sent them to the dock.
So, in just two days, Xu Laoer gathered the cargo of more than 40 ships and sailed to the south of the Yangtze River.
Dajiang Hao**, such a fleet is really eye-catching.
The people from the Jie Yun Dao received the news of the fleet's departure and wanted to report back to the Jie Yun Dao master in Bacheng. However, before they even left Shicheng County, they were captured alive by spies arranged by Xu Laoer.
In fact, when he learned that Xu Laoer led his troops through the mountains and entered Jiannan Mansion, Master Jie Yun led his people to Shicheng County, preparing to capture the thief and the king.
But what Master Jie Luck Dao didn't expect was that not long after he left Bacheng, he received the unfortunate news that the imperial court was about to dispatch a large army to conquer the rebellion in Jie Luck Dao.
The helpless Master Jie Luck had no choice but to go home and discuss with Du Qingruo, the heroine of the Tao Kingdom, how to deal with the Tang Dynasty's conquest.
Now, Xu Laoer has entered Jiannan Mansion and passed through a secret passage in the vast mountain. This means that the Jianmen Natural Barrier of Jiannan Mansion has no strategic value for human deterioration.
If Jie Luck Dao is still hiding in Jiannan Mansion, he will probably be caught in a trap when the imperial army arrives.
"We must strike first and get out!"
"Jiannan Mansion is too small and barren, and is not suitable for the development of our luck path!"
An elder of the Jie Yun Dao said with high fighting spirit, "After leaving Jiannan Mansion, we will have room to move, especially Jiangnan, which is the granary of the Tang Dynasty!"
"According to the news I got, winter in the north has arrived!"
"According to the Northern Barbarian High Priest, winter has arrived, and this will be an unprecedented disaster!"
"It won't take long for the Northern Barbarians to move south. Otherwise, they will be exterminated in the cold winter!"
"This is our chance!" (End of chapter)
