"Like your old Tian, I put too little pressure on you, so you have time to run to me every day, and I will add some pressure to you someday."
Tian Qi was weeping, he knew he would not come.
"Then, my lord, we don't care about other counties?" Tian Qi asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, let me think of a way. If there is no way, I can only follow what you said, stop a few construction sites first, and let the people go back to cultivate the land first."
Tian Qi thought for a long time, but still asked the question in his heart: "Why did the prince suddenly stop the funds for the water conservancy project and ask the county governments and banks to borrow money?"
He really couldn't figure it out. Based on his understanding of the prince, although the prince loves money, he will never collect money on the issue of people's livelihood.
"Didn't I say that? I'm putting pressure on them. These old boys are not very capable and have a lot of ghosts.
When I provided funds for the repair of water conservancy projects, they deliberately delayed the construction period and used the money allocated by the king to force the wealthy people to make false performance. "
Tian Qi's eyes widened, he didn't know about this, and at the same time he was also secretly startled by the courage of the county magistrates, who dared to play tricks with the prince, isn't this tired of work?
"My lord, since you know about this, why didn't you punish them?" Tian Qi was puzzled.
"Our southern Xinjiang has been too backward in economy and culture these years, so we haven't produced any useful talents, so let's use them first.
Those careful tricks they did were not for their own profit, and the money ended up in the hands of the people, and they were also afraid of poverty.
The king will let them go first, anyway, they should step down in a few years.
Fortunately, they are all smart people, and they didn't make any trouble for me after that. "
Tian Qi nodded, and at the same time secretly changed his mind. If he was the person involved, would he delay the construction period a little bit for the sake of earning more wages for the common people?
If the common people have money in their hands, they can buy food, and they will not starve to death!
Soon Tian Qi shook his head. Once the water conservancy project is completed, farming can be resumed. The people have land to plant, and won't they starve to death if they get a harvest?
Delaying the construction period to earn more wages is really putting the cart before the horse. These adults have not only become poor and afraid, but also poor and stupid!
They only saw the current benefits and did not think about the long-term development.
I'm so confused.
Fortunately, the prince is generous!
"My lord, I'm going to leave first."
Knowing the reason, Tian Qi bowed and said goodbye.
Li An waved his hand: "Let's go back first, I'll go to the county government to find you after I've figured out a solution."
The next day, Li An took Liu Yiyi and Wang Hu to the Qingshui county government office.
When several county magistrates saw Li An, they all lowered their heads very low, not daring to look into Li An's eyes.
"Keep your heads up." Li An's icy voice came.
Only then did the county magistrates tremblingly raise their heads, as they dodged their gazes at Li An because of guilt.
Chapter 67
"I heard that you are all worried about the lack of people to resume farming?" Li An asked.
The county magistrates nodded wildly.
"Why is there no one who can make me feel at ease, and I have to do everything myself?" Li An looked disgusted.
How much he wished that he had a group of smart and alert people under his command, and he didn't have to do anything, and his subordinates could take care of things after explaining them to him.
I can't work with my team.
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame, including Tian Qi.
After lecturing everyone, Li An looked at Wang Hu: "How is the bandit suppression going?"
"My lord, the banditry in Qingshui County and the eight counties further down has almost been wiped out. There are still some bandits who escaped. The soldiers are vigorously encircling and suppressing them."
"You killed all those bandits?"
"Yes, I killed them all." Wang Hu nodded, "Didn't you say, my lord, that these bandits who endanger public order are cancerous tumors, and they must be exterminated and completely cured. There can only be one bandit in southern Xinjiang, and that is..."
Liu Yiyi hurriedly interrupted Wang Hu, and helplessly supported his forehead: "Vice Commander Wang, you can't say anything!"
Wang Hu came to his senses in an instant, and glanced at several county magistrates in other counties: "I'm sorry Miss Liu, I forgot there was an outsider, hehe~"
Several county magistrates were speechless, aren't we all the prince's subjects?How did you become an outsider?
Can you not treat differently, refuse to treat differently!
Li An also put his foot on Wang Hu's calf. This kid has been dazzled by love recently, and he has no one to tell the truth. Why does he say everything?
After being kicked by Li An, Wang Hu became more honest.
"Why did you kill all the bandits? Are the methods so cruel?" Li An glared at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu was stunned, didn't you let me kill it?
Anyway, he was used to helping the prince take the blame, so Wang Hu simply lowered his head and didn't answer.
Whatever you say is what you say, anyway, you are the leader.
"It's hasty, I shouldn't have killed all the bandits back then." Li An sighed, if he didn't kill all the bandits back then, he would have tied them all back.
Then send them to plow the land, each of them will be assigned a few acres of responsible land, and if they don't die, they will plow to death! "
But the person has already been killed, and it is useless to regret it. Li An showed sinister eyes, and looked at the county magistrates solemnly: "It seems that we can only do what we do!"
"Old business?" The county magistrates were puzzled.
Tian Qi understood instantly, with a little excitement on his face: "My lord, where are we going to snatch people this time?"
"I want my lord to tell you a few times, civilized language, civilized language! We don't call it robbery, we call it immigration!" Li An glared at Tian Qi.
"You rob every day, how ugly? I don't know, but you think I, Li An, are a bandit."
"I know I'm wrong, my lord, where are we going to immigrate this time?"
"Now in southern Xinjiang, where are the most people?"
"Most people from other counties have come to Qingshui County..." Tian Qi's voice was a little soft.
At the mention of this, the county magistrates became even more emo.
"How many times have I said, the pattern is open, don't just stare at small towns and small counties." Li An was a little tired.
Your lord has sent people to Nanling Country to make troubles, why do you only stare at the small county town every day?
Can you be a little ambitious?
Tian Qi thought for a moment, then replied weakly: "My lord, it seems that the only place with a large population in southern Xinjiang is near the county town."
"Juncheng?" Li An squeezed his chin: "It's him, we all go back to copy guys, and leave on time at this point tomorrow."
"My lord, are you planning to attack the county city?" Tian Qi looked terrified, this time it was really a dark road.
Li An looked at Tian Qi speechlessly, "Old Wang, I am too lazy to stand up, kick him for me."
"Okay." Wang Hu walked up to Tian Qi with a smirk, and said, "Master Tian, I've offended you."
With a mournful face, Tian Qi leaned into Wang Hu's ear and whispered: "Old Wang, be gentle, you are all of your own."
Wang Hu gave Tian Qi a thumbs up, and landed on Tian Qi's calf. It didn't take much force, it was just a formality.
They're all acquaintances, you don't see them when you look up.
The other county magistrates took a few steps back subconsciously. This prince is too cruel, and his confidants kick him whenever he says he wants.
Thinking of the time when they played tricks with Li An before, they panicked even more.
Wang Hu walked back after kicking, Li An looked at Tian Qi, and asked, "Who am I?"
"My lord!"
"Full name."
"King of Southern Border."
"The whole southern border is mine. I need to attack the county?"
Tian Qi was stunned for a while, it seemed to be the reason, but he still couldn't help asking curiously: "Then, my lord, why do you want me to go back and bring someone?"
"Move things."
"Move what?"
"You will know when the time comes, and arrive on time tomorrow, or don't blame me for getting rich and not bringing you along."
After finishing speaking, Li An tiredly rubbed his temples: "Let's all step back, I'm tired."
After the county magistrates retired, Li An took a look at the new county government office: "The new county government office in Laotian is quite decent."
"In the future, the prince's palace can also be built like this." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.
"Why do I cultivate like this, I am a prince, the palace I built can't be as grand as him? Can't be a hundred times better than him?"
……
county town.
Song Xing, the sheriff, sat in the mansion and frowned, tapping his fingers on the table.
The dozen or so beautiful concubines around him were frightened by his aura and did not dare to approach him.
"Why hasn't anyone brought gold, silver and beauties to me recently?" Song Xing's tone was full of anger.
"This group of bandits have been living too comfortably recently, so they don't know how to honor this official? Did they forget that this official can protect them and destroy them!"
Hearing this, the butler lowered his head in fear, and said tremblingly: "Master County Governor, the bandits in all counties have been wiped out by the prince's troops!"
"Huh?" Song Xing couldn't believe it: "How is this possible, there are at least a dozen nests of bandits in each county, how could Li An wipe them all out in such a short time?
Are they full of pig shit?Won't the officers and soldiers run away when they come? "
"My lord, it is said that the lord followed the vine to find out where the next bandit is located."
"The prince didn't give the other bandits time to react, and sent people to suppress the bandits day and night.
Their method of suppressing the bandits was too cruel and vicious. They set fire to the mountain directly. The bandits had no escape, so they had to rush down the mountain in a blaze, and they were all shot and killed on the way! "
"Li An actually set fire to the mountain in order to suppress the bandits?" Song Xing also widened his eyes in shock.
But he hasn't heard of any places where wildfires are burning recently?
Li An did set fire to the mountain, but only once, because he felt that the progress of the soldiers to suppress the bandits was too slow.
When the mountain was burned that time, he first sent Liu Qing to sneak into the bandit's den to investigate the situation, to make sure that there were no flesh and blood hostages on the mountain, and then sent someone to cut down the trees at the foot of the mountain to create a fire barrier before burning the mountain.
It was a small hill with many bushes. After the suppression of the bandits was over, Li An immediately sent people to put out the fire.
That time he set fire to the mountain, Li An's reputation spread among the bandits, and when he went to other hills to suppress the bandits, as long as Li An's soldiers took out the torches, all the bandits ran down the mountain in fright.
This group of people really dare to set fire. Although they are all wearing armor, they are more ferocious than their own group of bandits, more like a group of bandits!
Chapter 68 Enemy Attack
"Why did you tell me about such a big matter now?" Song Xing glared at the housekeeper with a gloomy expression.
The steward knelt down in fright: "My lord, it was you who said that the old slave should contact the bandits less, so as not to fall into the trap.
The old slave also sent people out to inquire when the bandits were due to pay the money and waited for no one! "
"I can only blame the prince for being too ruthless and quick, we have no chance to react at all!"
"Well, Li An, you killed Wang Shilin first, seized the power of Yuyiguan, and then sent someone to hand over all the bandits. The method is vicious enough!"
Song Xing was the nephew of Song Qing, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. The reason why he didn't stay in the capital as an official, but went to the southern Xinjiang where the birds don't shit as a county guard.
Isn't it because Yuyiguan is an important place for export trade?
At the beginning, the third prince sent himself here to collect money from Yuyiguan, and provide funds for the third prince to win over important officials in the court.
All the money from Yuyiguan was sent to the third prince, and Song Xing left little money for him, so he secretly cultivated some bandits, and the money the bandits got from robbing houses was his source of income.
So when Wang Shilin, the guard of Yuyi Gate, was killed, he was not as angry as he is now.
Some of the skinny horses tied up by the bandits were sent to his house, and some he sent to the capital.
Money and sex can corrupt people's mind the most, so Li Xu thought of money, and he sent so many beauties to Li Xu.
