The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Xie Jing'an was thinking about the many things he had to do next, but he didn't show it at all. He had a smiling face, and besides, he was handsome, making people feel amiable.

This is how Lin Yan felt when he saw Xie Jingan when he entered the study. No matter how much sorrow he felt in his heart, it seemed to dissipate all of a sudden. With a smile, he bowed his hands and said: "I have seen Your Highness."

Xie Jing'an agreed to dismiss him, and helped him up and pointed to a chair for him to sit in. At this moment, Cui Tong brought his servants in to serve tea and served some soft snacks. The people retreated again, and the door of the study room was closed, Xie Jing'an asked with a smile: "I heard from Cui Tong that today there are bandits patrolling the city guards to surrender. You have been there, and everything is going well?"

Seeing that Xie Jingan was so happy, Lin Yan knew that today's banquet must be in line with his wishes. Just as he was about to congratulate him on today's banquet, he heard these words just as he was about to speak, and immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say , said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Highness, the matter of recruiting the surrender went smoothly. We just need to wait for Wei Changshi to return and hand over the person to him for thorough investigation. It will be difficult.”

Xie Jingan was quite surprised that there was still something that made Lin Yan difficult, and he was a little alert in his heart, and asked him: "What information, let's hear it."

The information that the bandit leader said was not short. Although Lin Yan listened carefully, he never had the ability to remember what he heard. He was afraid that it would be wrong to tell Xie Jingan, so he recalled it in his mind and considered the words. Said in a deep voice: "Returning to Your Highness, the information brought by the bandit leader this time is from Chensha Mountain in Yingzhou. According to the bandit, there are more than 160 bandits on Chensha Mountain in total, and all of them are Many strong men with big shoulders and round waists have martial arts skills. Since the fourth year of Kangping, they have robbed local wealthy households and gone up the hills to become bandits. In the past 20 years, they have committed countless crimes. I don’t know how many people were killed or injured by them, let alone The girls from a good family were kidnapped and bullied by them at will. The surrounding villages were almost empty. The bandits saw that they could not plunder people nearby, and now they went to further villages. The leader of the bandits He said that not long ago they took a group of young men and women captive to the mountain, but now it has been more than half a month, and I don't know if there are still people alive, and they will eventually want to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but none of the patrolling guards have seen blood before. Even if their martial arts skills are not bad, they might not be the opponents of those bandits, and they are condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack, only relying on the patrolling guards with less than [-] men, they will not be sure in the end."

This was the first time that Xie Jingan had heard Lin Yan say so many words since he knew Lin Yan. Normally, Xie Jingan would have talked with him in amazement, but the words he said now shocked people's hearts, and Xie Jingan's eyes turned red when he heard it. He slapped Shu'an hard, and said sharply: "It's unreasonable. Under the king's rule, there are such bandits who ignore the court's laws and kill people like hemp. It's really appalling. How did the local officials do things? Let these bandits It’s been nearly 20 years since I went up the mountain. Didn’t they send people to suppress the bandits? Didn’t they submit a memorial to the imperial case? If the king didn’t issue an order to recruit the bandits this time, he got the news by accident, right? I'll never know for the rest of my life."

The more Xie Jingan talked, the more angry he became, he wished he could send someone to arrest the local officials in front of him, and ask him to ask carefully, is this how he works for the court after being paid by the court all these years?Simply killing is not enough to calm the anger in his heart.

Lin Yan was also very angry when he heard these words, but his temperament was calm and self-sustaining. After so much time, even if he was angry, he could still suppress it. It was only after Xie Jingan had a fit that he calmly persuaded him Said: "The corpses of the local officials will have a vegetarian meal. At the end of the day, those bandits will be wiped out. His Highness will personally inquire about the crimes. His Highness will preside over all matters related to the fiefdom. Don't get angry and burn yourself out."

After Lin Yan persuaded him a few times, Xie Jingan gradually calmed down, but he couldn't get rid of the images associated with those words, and his face was extremely ugly. He took a few deep breaths before letting go of his clenched fists, and said solemnly: "My king's The king knows well, General Lin doesn't need to worry about it, the most important thing now is to suppress the bandits, does General Lin have a charter in mind?"

When it came to suppressing bandits, Lin Yan's eyes flashed sharply. He obviously hated those bandits. After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "The general thought that the bandits must be suppressed, but we still need to think long-term. After all, we only listen to Who knows if the bandit leader's one-sided words are true or not, so at the end of the day, he wants to send a few smart, intelligent, and martial arts patrolling guards to the villages near Shensha Mountain to investigate quietly to see if what the bandit leader said is true. At the same time, urge the soldiers patrolling the city to practice martial arts diligently."

Lin Yan told the truth about his intentions, then stood up and saluted, "Aside from these, there are still a few things that need His Highness's permission."

As long as those gangsters can be wiped out, not to mention a few things, even if Lin Yan wants to overturn the crime of his Lin family, Xie Jingan is willing to agree, so Xie Jingan didn't hesitate after hearing Lin Yan's words, and directly nodded and urged: "What do you say?" .”

Lin Yandao: "One is that there has been no war in the patrolling city guards for more than ten years. Many of the knives among the guards patrolling the city guards observed by the end general are old knives that have been used for many years. The craftsmanship of the knives is not high Very good, although they are scrubbed and polished diligently, they are no longer as bright and sharp as before, and some even have tiny nicks, so the general will ask His Highness to order the Equipment Department to make a batch of new knives for the sergeants patrolling the city."

Sharpening a knife before battle is what it should be. These sergeants can't be bleeding and killing thieves for his fief and still holding old rusty knives full of gaps. Even if Lin Yan doesn't mention it, Xie Jingan will rectify it next step, so After Lin Yan finished speaking, Xie Jingan said: "This matter is approved by the king, what about the others?"

Lin Yan saw that Xie Jingan was quite anxious, so he stopped talking one by one, and said in one breath: "Secondly, the general is short of manpower, and it is difficult to capture Shensha Mountain with less than 200 people. The final general asks His Highness for permission. The city guards will participate in the training, and the general will train together. Thirdly, the patrolling guards guarding the city guards have never seen blood. The general will ask His Royal Highness to go to the death row in several states to extract the death row prisoners, and the city guards will guard the city The guards acted as the executioners. Fourthly, after seeing the blood, the general wanted to lead the soldiers to several nearby townships and counties where banditry was frequent and many people suffered from it. With the bloody evil spirit, I will go all out to kill those murderous bandits, please allow your Highness."

These four matters of Lin Yan were all considered on the way back to the palace. Except for the participation of the guards in the city, he was a bit over the top and might make King Shun think that he was using this to seize power. The rest were all due to this suppression Bandits are essential.

Regarding the participation of the city guards, Lin Yan was worried that King Shun would have a grudge against him because of this, and he has been wary of him ever since. He even thought about recruiting soldiers instead?

It's just that the newly recruited soldiers are not as good as the veterans who have been in the army for many years. Even if he is a genius and has not worked for a year or two, these recruits will not be useful.

So after thinking about it, he still didn't change it, but he was a little worried. Lin Yan was even ready to be rejected by King Shun. As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at King Shun's expression. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely nervous. up.

Xie Jingan's attention was taken away from Lin Yan's opening. He listened and pondered, but he didn't notice the difference between Lin Yan and the past.

He is now full of thoughts on how to expand the methods Lin Yan thought of, so that those soldiers can form a fighting force as soon as possible, so that they can wipe out the gangsters as soon as possible, and then send people to the local area to find out how the parents and officials are eating vegetarian meals. There was no news about such a big event.

If Song Liang hadn’t guarded the border more than ten years ago, it would have been fine when Jai Heo went south to plunder from time to time. At that time, his entire fief was in turmoil, and the people had nothing to do with production. According to the news that Xie Jing'an heard, Yizi Shishi also happened from time to time.

But how old is it now, even if you don't have the ability to suppress bandits after more than ten years, don't you have the ability to suppress the bandits in the last memorial?Xie Jingan also thought about whether it was because the memorial was handed in but failed to be presented before the imperial court, but he suppressed this thought as soon as it came out.

Banditry is no more serious than official corruption or fish and meat. No matter where this kind of banditry is placed, it will only hinder the official's political performance. It is too late for the official to remove these malignant tumors for the future, so how can he cover him?

After much deliberation, Xie Jingan only thought that these officials might have handed over the memorial, but before they could send it far, the bandits stopped and killed the sender. Over the years, the local officials were afraid of being killed. Dare to mention it again, which is why Chang'an has not heard the wind for so many years.

Thinking of this, the anger in Xie Jingan's heart became a little less, but his heart for strict investigation of the local officials was not lessened by a single bit, and he frowned and pondered for a while how to improve the combat effectiveness of those sergeants in a short period of time. He said: "The four things that General Lin mentioned are all accepted by the king. Now the king will have people make new sabers for the guards and guards. It's just that refining weapons can't be done in a day or two. Yes, General Lin still needs to wait for a few more days."

What are you afraid of waiting for a few days, as long as King Shun doesn't alienate him with grudges from now on, Lin Yan was almost overjoyed when he heard the words. It's serious, I thanked Xie Jingan three times before stepping back.

When Lin Yan did this, Xie Jingan's elated mood suddenly disappeared, and Lin Yan was not in the mood to count any money when he left, so he just plunged into Taobao and searched desperately to see if there was a better iron forging knife Technology, or some more advanced weapon with greater lethality.
