Farmer’s Blessed Girl

How does the village chief know which mountain the bandit is on? I can only say: "It's on the mountain nearby. Every time there is a harvest, and during the New Year's holiday, they will go down the mountain to grab something. A few days ago, they came down the mountain again and said that each of us should produce five bags of wheat. If there is less, they will kill."

"We don't have many fields in the first place. Five sacks of wheat will dry up in half a year. If the court has to pay taxes, we won't have a grain of wheat left."

Bai Shan asked, "How many times have they descended the mountain? I mean, how many times have you met in your village?"

"Three times!" said the village chief, "After the Chongyang Festival last year, not long after we paid our taxes, they ran down at night and robbed the eight families living at the entrance of the village and at the foot of the mountain. Another time was during the New Year's Eve. Time, that time, people came down in the early morning, and they drove all the people out of the village, and then searched a lot of things."

"This is the last time, but they only came down with five people to inform us to prepare the wheat," the village chief said embarrassedly: "The people in the village have eyes and don't know the nobles, I don't know if the county magistrates are here, see you. With a knife, I thought it was a bandit who came down, so..."

Bai Shan reassured him: "This county knows, it's not your fault for this, do you know the number of people who went down the mountain two times before?"

The village chief thought for a while and said, "I didn't know the first time, it was at night, and only the eight families were robbed, but I heard from them that there were about three or four people in the family, all with knives, it was very scary. Later that time, hey, I was too flustered to count, but there were at least a hundred people, right?"

Lieutenant Dong's face was ashen, and he took the lead: "Impossible. If there are more than 100 bandits in the county, I wouldn't know it at all."

The village chief wasn't quite sure, so he changed his mind after hearing what he said, "That's seventy or eighty people?"

Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Have the village chief heard of any other villages being robbed?"

The village chief patted his thigh and said, "It's just not there."

He said: "These mountain bandits also targeted our village for some reason. I asked people in other villages, and they all said that there were no mountain bandits."

"Do you know about this?"

"I know," he said, "I reported it to the chief at Chongyang last year. Later, when I was robbed during the New Year, I reported it again."

He turned his head and said embarrassedly to Dong County Wei: "I went to the city to look for the adults after I was young. At that time, I happened to see the adults with the yamen patrolling the streets, and I wanted to go up to seek justice..."

Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Bai Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why didn't you come forward?"

The village chief hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It was the chief who found me and brought me back, saying that he had already reported that the county magistrate Gao Sheng left, and the adults in the yamen were too busy. Very, even if we have to do things, we have to do it one by one. If we urge them like this, we may not be able to urge people to tell us, and we will offend the adults in the county office, which will definitely be more difficult in the end."

Lieutenant Dong County jumped up and said, "Fuck, what county government dares to despise such a big thing as a mountain bandit? My lord, there is always slandering us there."

Bai Shanchong pressed his hand on him to calm him down.

The village chief was taken aback, and he reacted with hindsight, "I don't know, sir... Didn't the chief of the village report it?"

Bai Shan didn't make a direct conclusion, but asked with a smile, "Have you reported the matter of the bandits going down the mountain and asking you to prepare wheat this time to the chief?"

The village chief nodded stunned, "I reported it, this is a big deal, how can I not report it?"

"Five sacks of wheat for a family, half a year's harvest is gone. If they come down again after the autumn harvest, and we don't even have any rice, how can we live?"

It was precisely because of the great appetite of the bandits this time that the villagers were so excited and ran out with their hoes and kitchen knives.

Bai Shan said he understood, and said to the village chief, "This county will make the decision for you. We will live in the village for two days. Don't worry, it's fine if they don't come. If they come, the county will let them. It comes and goes."

Regardless of whether this is true or not, the village chief and the others feel a lot more at ease.

Bai Shan said: "I see that the wheat in your fields is already ripe, so you should ask someone to harvest the wheat and keep it in the field until it ripens and drops the ears, it will be wasted."

The village chief responded immediately.

In the past, the enthusiasm for harvesting wheat in the village was not high. Because of the rumors from the mountain bandits, no matter how they saw the wheat in the fields, they didn’t look like their own. to harvest.

Now with Bai Shan's promise, when the villagers look at the wheat in their fields, they are full of love and pity, and regardless of the sun at this time, they go home to say hello, and they go to harvest with their sickles.

The village chief also has a lot of land. He asked his sons to cut wheat and his daughters-in-law to free up the room.

Man Bao asked Xibing to help, and then she assigned a place to Wen Tiandong and said, "Go to a free clinic at a stall."

It was under a tree not far from the village chief's house. There was a shadow at the moment, and many children were playing there. The open space was also large, which was really good.

Wen Tiandong went back to the village chief, asked him for a table and a few chairs to put there, and then took the village chief's hand and introduced them to the medical department.

The village chief didn't want to hear it, and he still wanted to go to the county magistrate to ask about the bandit suppression.

There are so many bandits in the mountains, it is definitely not enough to rely on them alone, so is the army outside the mountain? Do you want to call into the village?

Otherwise, would the bandits suddenly come down the mountain and the soldiers would enter the village too late?

At the same time, he also has to count the food in the village. The soldiers and yamen are here to suppress the bandits. They have to provide this food, right?

Don't know how much they eat?

Although the heart is painful, the village chief also knows that if the bandits are suppressed, the expenditure today will only be once. If they are not suppressed, then their village will not have a good life every year.

But Wentiandong pulled him so tightly that the village chief couldn't get away.

Seeing that Wen Tiandong was holding the village chief, Man Bao turned around and walked back quickly to find Bai Shandao: "There are bandits on the mountain, are we going to transfer troops from the county town?"

Bai Shan said, "I'm discussing it with Captain Dong County."

He said: "Ten of the siege, five of the attack, if the mountain bandits are at least one hundred as the village chief said, then we need at least five hundred soldiers to be enough."

Lieutenant Dong County: "...Sir, there are only 40 people in our county wardens, including the guards you brought."

Bai Shan nodded, "There are 200 people in the two inspections, and only 250 people including us."

Wei Dong said, "Would you like to ask for help from Qingzhou City?"

Bai Shandao: "Check it out first, but this matter does have to be reported to Qingzhou City, come and study ink."

Daji went to the luggage to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Bai Shandao: "In addition to this, we have to send someone back to the county office to check whether the mountain bandit incident has really not been reported."

If it hadn't been reported, I'm afraid this matter still has something to do with the rijang here.

see you at ten pm
