Chapter 304
Following Amin's order, Jianlu dispatched again.But this time it was not to kill people, but to post notices along the official roads, posted everywhere, with only one content: If there is any further damage to the official roads, no one will be arrested and the people who build the roads will be killed. Sacrifice the road, and then catch it, if the road is to be destroyed again, kill it again!

After such a ruthless move, the official way finally became quiet.The North Korean volunteers did not dare to organize to destroy the officialdom, and hurriedly brought a notice to the senior officials of the upper country.

But when this announcement was in Lu Xiangsheng's hands, Wei Mulan couldn't help but said a little worriedly: "Why did the slave chief come up with such a trick, it's too cruel!"

"Hehe!" Lu Xiangsheng smiled after listening, looked at Wei Mulan and shook his head and said, "If it's my official, let someone destroy it directly, and restore it to its original state within a time limit, otherwise..."

I stopped talking, Wei Mulan could understand.When she looked at Lu Xiangsheng, she was a little surprised.I didn't expect that the Jinshi master, who has always been kind, would be very ruthless if he became ruthless!

She didn't know that in the original history, Lu Xiangsheng was known as Lu Yanwang among the thieves.The tricks he conjured up on the battlefield, as well as his extraordinary bravery, made his opponents tremble with fear.

Not only him, but another Jinshi, also known as the King of Hades, was Hong Chengchou, who was the governor of Yansui at this time.The difference from Lu Xiangsheng is that Hong Chengchou earned his reputation from killing prisoners.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had the same trouble as Lu Xiangsheng, that is, there was no food.He rectified the army and horses, and he wanted to send troops to suppress the bandits, which required food.The so-called "soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass", without food, there is no way to fight at all!
Hong Chengchou is worried, the Yulin granary has suffered severe drought for several years, and there is no food at all.If it weren't for this, there would be no frontier army rebellion.

After thinking about it for a long time, he sent out an invitation card, inviting the gentry from Yulin and surrounding castles to gather at the Governor's Mansion.

On this day, it was very lively, and the country gentry from the nearby castle came to Yulin City early.Naturally, the local squires would not lag behind, and they all seized the time to prevent themselves from being late, and everyone went to visit the new governor together in groups.

The Governor's Mansion obviously made preparations for this banquet.There are lights and festoons at the door, and there seems to be a lot of joy.Rows of soldiers, led by some civilian officials with empty hands, shouted such words as "the gentry of such and such has arrived" and greeted them into the governor's office.

Those country gentry also entered the governor's yamen with smiles, gifts, and compliments.

Those with lower status and less prestige were sitting in the courtyard outside the lobby, waiting around tables for wine and food, and drinking with the new governor.Those with higher status, higher prestige, and greater influence will be arranged to sit in the lobby to accompany the Governor.

Before the time came, the invited country gentry had almost gathered.There are three tables in the hall and seven tables in the courtyard are full of people.While they waited, they whispered to each other and familiar people.

"Master Zhongcheng is really young and promising, and there is no limit to the official career!"

"No, our Daming can become the governor of one side, Mr. Hong is the youngest!"

"The most important thing is that Mr. Zhongcheng has real skills. He beat those thieves crying for their father and mother in southern Shaanxi before, and fled after hearing the news. With Mr. Zhongcheng in northern Shaanxi, we will definitely be able to live a stable life! "

"No, Mr. Zhongcheng's Hong Bing is the last thing those thieves want to meet!"

"..."

They were discussing in low voices, when suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "Master Zhongcheng is here!"

Upon hearing this, all the country gentry, regardless of whether they were in the hall or in the hall, stood up together and faced the back office, watching a young and promising official in scarlet robes come out.

"I have seen Lord Zhongcheng!"

The voices came and went, until Hong Chengchou took the main seat.He glanced at the people present, and said with a smile: "This is a private banquet, everyone, please sit down!"

After speaking, he sat down first, and then all the squires sat down.But they all looked at him, waiting for him to speak, and the scene was silent.

Hong Chengchou also looked at them, and said with a smile: "I am stationed in Jieyulin, and I am under the emperor's order to keep one side safe, and I have to rely on the help of all the squires!"

As soon as he heard his words, the fat old man in mink fur and brocade clothes sitting next to him immediately replied with a smile, "Master Zhongcheng is serious, it is our duty to share the country's worries!"

The other squires nodded after hearing this, with smiles on their faces, and a few even echoed in a low voice: "Yes, yes!"

When Hong Chengchou heard it, he nodded with a smile, and felt that it was okay, so he stood up, clasped his fists and looked around, and then said loudly: "Everyone..."

When the fat old man saw it, he immediately clapped his hands to signal the others to quiet down and listen to the governor.

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Hong Chengchou still clasped his fists and said loudly: "After I take office in Yansui, I will start to suppress the thieves and make Yansui a peace..."

Hearing this, all the squires including the fat old man's eyes lit up, obviously wanting to hear this very much.

"However, there is almost no military rations in the important town of Yulin. The emperor has promised to pay back the military rations, but it has not yet been received. Therefore, I invite you to give a banquet to all of you, and ask you to give your best help, or donate some rations for the army to suppress the bandits..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere on the scene had cooled down a bit.The smiles on the faces of these squires disappeared without a trace, and they looked at each other, and they all looked at each other in dismay.

Hong Chengchou said this, as long as the food is not money, because he knows that the food in northern Shaanxi, at least the food near Yulin, is actually controlled by these gentry.If you donate money to buy grain, it will eventually fall into the hands of these gentry, and at that time they will raise the price of grain, who knows how much grain they will get in the end, so it is better to ask for grain directly.

But as soon as he said his purpose, he saw the changes in the faces of these squires, and suddenly had a bad feeling.Not only has the words been spoken, he naturally has to finish: "...I hope that you can help out, not only to solve the difficulties of the court, but also for the benefit of you all!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the squires, but found that everyone who was caught by his gaze lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. He knew that this time things might not go as planned.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence at the scene, the fat old man next to him spoke slowly, seeming to choose his words carefully and said: "The country is in trouble, and we should do our best to help. I wonder how much food Mr. Zhongcheng needs?"

"To wipe out the bandits in northern Shaanxi, the army needs at least [-] shi in rations." Hong Chengchou had already calculated, so he immediately replied.

Marching and fighting is no better than staying in a barracks. You have to go on the road with a full stomach and kill the enemy, which consumes a lot of food.

　Thank you Mu Hanfeng for your reward!
