Great Wei Nengchen

Sure enough, the soldiers under his command quickly dug out a large amount of black coal, which was buried less than one meter deep in the ground. In some places, the coal could even be seen by removing the floating soil. This is an open-pit mine that is extremely easy to mine!

"Thank God! Be merciful!" Xiao Yi laughed wildly and threw himself on the ground, grabbing those lovely lumps of coal. Black is indeed his lucky color; this winter, no one will freeze to death!

289. Chapter 289

When Xiao Yi returned to the camp with his dark hands, it immediately caused a commotion. People were first surprised by these flammable black stones, then they were happy, and finally they were crazy. The light blue flames warmed everyone's heart ; Whether it is the burning time or the heat emitted, coal is far better than firewood. This is simply a treasure bestowed by the mountain god!

There was no need to mobilize at all, people rushed to the hillside like a swarm, using knives, guns, axes, shovels... all that could be used, and those who had no tools just dug there with bare hands, letting the gravel and coal block their hands. They don't care if they are scratched, even the youngest children know how to pick up the leftover cinders on the side, and groups of mules and horses carry them back and forth, and finally the whole camp turns into a black ocean!

The fire drove away the severe cold, and laughter once again filled the camp. People called this black stone "gift from the God of the Mountain", and it was a fetish for saving suffering. As for Xiao Yi, who brought them coal, he also had a new name. ... the messenger of the mountain god!

It is said that the envoy went to patrol the mountains every day, and sang a ditty he made up, "The mountain god sent me to patrol the mountains, after the southern mountain and the northern mountain, beware of coal thieves..."

"Haha, do you think I'm a little demon patrolling the mountains?" Hearing all kinds of rumors, Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing, it doesn't matter, whether it's a god or a monster, as long as it can save people from the winter cold, Then it is worth offering incense to him!

Immediately, Xiao Yi ordered that a mountain temple be built on the mountain where the coal mine was discovered, and worship in four seasons.

In just a few days, the people repaired a mighty and beautiful mountain temple with great enthusiasm, and the incense was flourishing. The difference is that the mountain gods elsewhere are all white-faced, but the mountain god here is actually It was a small black face, sitting on the altar, holding a mountain whip in one hand, and a black coal in the other hand, with a pleasant smile...

A few years later, this place has become a local tourist attraction. All the mountain gods in the world are white, but the mountain gods in Shanyang County are all black. Countless literati have come here, and they have left calligraphy to praise the "Mountain God" Merit, of course, between the pen and the dragon, people will occasionally mention that little monster who likes to patrol the mountains. It is said that this monster was later included in one of the four famous novels, "Journey to the West", and it is considered a little famous...

The problem of heating was solved, Xiao Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief, the next step was to check and accept the work results of those scribes, after this natural disaster, it was just a matter of time to see how capable they were, how many of them were excellent, how many of them were Is it qualified, or how many people will be bad reviews!

Xiao Yi led a team of soldiers to start patrolling the camp. Everywhere he went, he would carefully check the livelihood of the refugees, whether they had enough coal for heating, whether they had clothes to keep out the cold, and most importantly, whether their food was distributed in full. During the battalion-by-battalion inspection, Xiao Yi didn't say a word, just nodding and frowning from time to time. When he returned to the main tent of the Chinese army, he not only brought back the thirty scribes, but also brought back thirty A pot, a pot for cooking porridge!

Looking at the steaming porridge pot in front of them, the thirty scribes looked at each other, no one knew what it meant, and then looked at the doll prefect on the seat, they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts!

Xiao Yi is wearing a military uniform today, the 'Chi Wenhan Iron Armor' is majestic, and the 'Chi You Ghost Mask' is frightening. You can drink human blood again today!

"Everyone has been in my camp for a while, and you have been entrusted with the important task of people's livelihood. Today is the time to test the results!" Xiao Yi smiled and rubbed his nose. To govern the people, you must first govern the officials, and to govern the officials, you must first govern the heart. It is black and red , Try it out today!

"I don't know how the prefect wants to check it? Can I get the account book and calculate it one by one?" A bachelor boldly took half a step forward and asked tremblingly. Today they discovered that this baby prefect doesn't seem to be so serious. Easy to deal with!

"Hehe! Account books and the like are just a word game. You have a sum in your hand, so you can alter it as you please!" Xiao Yi would not foolishly check any account books. The financial discipline that is so developed in later generations has come out with various calculation methods. ,what's the result?There are still countless loopholes!

Accounts can be faked, but some things cannot be faked!

"Xiao Bin, bring the chopsticks!"

"promise!"

"Dian Wei, get ready!"

"promise!"

An ordinary chopsticks, a row of swordsmen holding ghost-headed swords, two seemingly unrelated things, this is Xiao Yi's magic weapon to check whether officials are clean or not!

"The food in each camp is distributed according to the human head, and there is no shortage. But today I found that some camps have very thick porridge, while others have only a few grains of rice. Why is that?" Xiao Yi pointed Each of the porridge pots in front of me corresponds to a person, "Today I will play a game with you called 'Chopsticks Floating Heads Fall', Xiao Bin, let's do it, try the porridge with chopsticks!"

"No!" Xiao Bin strode forward and thrust his chopsticks into a pot. Yes, the porridge was very thick, and the chopsticks stood up straight after being inserted.

"First place, qualified!"

Followed by the second, "Qualified!"

The third "Qualified!"

When it was inserted into the fourth pot, the chopsticks immediately floated up as soon as it was inserted, and then fell to the side, and looked at the pot again. Sure enough, it was full of light water, and there were not many rice grains at all!

"Fourth, the chopsticks hit the ground!" Xiaobin's voice was exceptionally clear, and there was also Tan Tan's murderous intent in it!

"My lord, forgive me! Forgive me!" The scribe standing behind the pot immediately fell to his knees in fright. He really didn't expect Xiao Yi to use this method of inspection. There are so many refugees, and it is nothing to miss a bite for each person, so he deducted a little when releasing food. In this kind of famine, food is money!

The result is that the greed is getting bigger and bigger, and the porridge is getting thinner and thinner, so thin that it can reveal the shadows of people, and even the hearts of people!

"I told you a long time ago that the people are easy to abuse, but the sky is hard to bully. Today I will do justice for the sky, push it out, and behead it!" What Xiao Yi hates the most is these corrupt officials. They use their pens to kill countless people. Well, if this kind of person is sent out to take charge of the government, needless to say, he must be as tall as the sky!

"My lord, please spare me! I am willing to withdraw the money and food I have been greedy for, and pay a sum of redemption money!" As soon as the beheaded words came out, not only the officials who were kneeling on the ground were frightened, but also the other scribes were all terrified, embezzling a little food, Are you going to beheaded?The laws of the Han Dynasty were not so harsh. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not only could money be used to buy officials, but money could also be used to atone for sins.

"Military law is ruthless, Dian Wei, execute!"

"No!" To Dian Wei, the military order was as big as the sky, and he went forward to grab the paralyzed scribe, and went out with a ghost-headed sword. Soon, there was a short scream; When stepping into the tent of the Chinese army, he was holding a bloody head in one hand!

"Master Taishou, please forgive me, I will be convicted, and I would rather not be an official and let my life go, shall I?"

Seeing that Xiao Yi really killed someone, the remaining 29 scribes fell to their knees in fright, without the arrogance they had before, especially those who were also facing a pot of gruel, were even more frightened and shivered like chaff!

"Xiao Bin, continue!" Xiao Yi remained unmoved, one person's death is better than the death of all the people in the whole place, and today's knife continues, the officials of Shanyang County will not have any problems for at least 30 years.

"........."

"Eighth Battalion, chopsticks overturned!..."

"It's your fate, you don't have too much greed, take fifty lashes, drive you out of the camp, and never use it!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and Dian Wei led another "unlucky ghost" out, and Dian Wei five Ten whips, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!

"…………"

"No.12 Battalion, the chopsticks are on the ground!"

"cut!"

As a result of some inspections, among the thirty scribes, five fell to the ground with their chopsticks and were killed; I went; in the end, there were seventeen qualified ones left. Regardless of their abilities, these people are definitely first-class honest officials!

"Haha! Congratulations, everyone. You are not only knowledgeable, but also clean and honest. In the future, you will be able to benefit the people and become a celebrity!" Xiao Yi laughed and came to the seventeen people. He nodded in satisfaction and clasped his fists together. Congratulations.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect!" The seventeen people all respectfully returned the salute. They had just walked around the gate of hell, and the soles of their feet were cold. As for Xiao Yi, he was the ecstasy in their eyes!

"Where there is punishment, there must be reward! Come, Shangguan seal!" Following Xiao Yi's big hand wave, a row of soldiers came up with seventeen county magistrate seals. This is the reward for those who pass!

"From now on, you will be the magistrates of various places in Sanyang County. Remember to be careful in governing, love the people, and be a good official who is 'clear as water, bright as a mirror'. Rest assured, as long as you govern well, you will have a bright future in the future." of!"

"Promise!" Holding the big seal, and looking at the heads hanging outside the big tent, the seventeen newly-baked magistrates have only one thought, heaven and hell, "Dare to ask the prefect, when will we take office?"

"soon!……"

290. Chapter 290 Slaying the Five Bears

A heavy snowfall also brought a lot of trouble to the "Anti-Xiao Alliance" in Sanyang County. It was originally planned to raise troops in half a month, but it took a whole month of procrastination to get the troops together. A total of 5000 counties, more than [-] horses, under the command of Shuangshui City Lord-Xiong Chu, rushed over in mighty force!

"Xiong Chu? 5000 counties, [-] troops!" In the large tent of the Chinese army, while analyzing the military newspapers from the investigation, Xiao Yi drew various arrows on a simple military map drawn by himself. There are also many strange symbols marked on the side, staring at it for a long time, and finally slamming the pen in an open place, this is it!

"Master Taishou, the enemy army is powerful, and the Shuangshui'four sons of Xiong's family' are notoriously brave and good at fighting. Are we avoiding the edge for now?" Very good, but one thing is that he is too timid. It is estimated that the previous military disaster has left a shadow on his heart. Before the war started, he wanted to hide!

"Temporarily avoid the edge? What's the best opinion of Master Qin?"

"We can send horses into Shanyang City and guard against danger, while ordinary people evacuate to the countryside. The enemy army is large in number and consumes a lot of food and grass. As long as we guard for a month or two, they will retreat!"

"Haha, yes, this is the standard answer when the enemy is outnumbered!" Xiao Yi couldn't help clapping his hands in praise. As far as the tactical layout is concerned, Qin Yu's method is very good, and it can be regarded as a textbook standard answer. Unfortunately, this It was not Xiao Yi's plan, what he wanted was not to retreat the enemy, but to wipe them out!
