The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan was a little surprised when he saw Wang Yue talking so eloquently.

Most of these refugees were farmers with little knowledge. Although what they said were just simple truths, it was rare to find someone with such knowledge.

"Sir, this Wang Yue is one of the two people who can read, and he scored the highest in the test, 70 points. He must have studied and attended a private school."

Zhang Dabiao whispered beside him.

Chen Yan nodded. No wonder he was a little intellectual.

"That's right, we can't harm Sir Chen!"

"But we have such a hard life. Do we have to leave here and flee again?"

"No! I don't want to flee again!"

"Oh my God, why doesn't God even give us a way to live!"

For a moment, the new recruits below were emotional.

"Brothers, don't worry!"

"My master will never let his family suffer!"

"If the Zhao dares to touch a hair of yours, my master will dare to cut him off!"

Zhang Dabiao couldn't bear the worry of everyone and shouted loudly.

Chen Yan was about to open his mouth, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by him. He stared at him with a smile.

This Biaozi took his line!

"Absolutely not!"

"Master Chen, General Zhang, we have received a lot of favors from you two, and we must not let you get involved again!"

"What's more, there are 4,000 troops in the government!"

"If there is a commotion, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg!"

Wang Yue below was anxious and shouted loudly.

Chen Yan nodded secretly.

This Wang Yue is a man who values ​​love and righteousness!

Most people only think about themselves, but Wang Yue is grateful and considers his situation.

Zhang Dabiao grinned and wanted to speak.

How could Chen Yan let Biaozi steal his lines? He raised his hand and suppressed his words.

"Brother Wang, you are right. It is indeed like hitting a rock with an egg."

"It's just that the government army is a fragile egg, and my Qingshan County is the indestructible rock!"

Chen Yan said lightly.

Hearing this, Wang Yue was stunned.

The other recruits also looked at Chen Yan in surprise.

What kind of crazy words are these?

A mere county magistrate, with only a Nafu Camp, with a maximum of four or five hundred people, dares to say that the other 4,000 regular elite soldiers are vulnerable?

"Don't worry about this now. You can train and rest with peace of mind. As for the rest, leave it to this county magistrate."

"Cadre Zhang, take the two spy brothers to my barracks."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door.

The hundreds of recruits left looked at each other, in doubt.

Only Wang Yue's eyes were bright, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Soon, in Chen Yan's luxurious barracks, two hunters came in and knelt on the ground.

"No need to be so polite, thank you for your hard work this time!"

Chen Yan hurried forward and helped the two up personally.

"It's not hard, it's not hard! It's my duty to do things for you!"

The two were flattered and answered hurriedly.

Three days ago, the two were sent by Zhao Changhe as scouts, and followed the refugees into the territory of Qingshan County.

As soon as they entered, there was a sudden bang behind their heads, and they fainted before they could react.

When they woke up, they were already locked up in the prison cell of the Nafu Camp.

The two were scared crazy, thinking that they were robbed by mountain bandits or something, and they began to cry and recall their 60-year-old mother, 30-year-old wife, and 10-year-old children at home.

As a result, a big man came in and threw two small bags in front of them.

"You two brothers have worked hard. My master said that this is a reward for your hard work."

The big man said with a pleasant face.

The two men opened the bag fearfully and were stunned!

There were fifty taels of silver each!

You should know that the salary of the two men in the state army was only six taels of silver a year, plus the monthly rice subsidy, and the upper limit was no more than ten taels.

Fifty taels, enough for them to work for at least five years!

Originally thought they would lose their heads, but they didn't expect to make a lot of money, and the two men's hearts were revived.

Who doesn't come out to make money to survive?

Why make that life-threatening money when there is this easy money!

The two men didn't hesitate, and immediately gave in to each other, and were soon released and sent to Qingshan County to meet Chen Yan.

Along the way, the two men were dumbfounded in the city.

Qingshan County is a famous poor county. It is said that many people have starved to death every year in recent years. In addition, it is located in a remote area of ​​Longzhou, so no one usually comes.

It is even said that some people who escaped from the state capital, after arriving in Qingshan County, there was no news at all, as if they had disappeared.

So there were even rumors in the state capital that they all starved to death in Qingshan County, and that this place was the gate of hell, and there was no return!

Sometimes you can also hear some people who have been to QingshanThe peddlers in the county all looked disdainful and said, "I will never go there again in my life."

Of course, they didn't know at the time that these merchants actually made a lot of money, but they signed a confidentiality agreement with Chen Yan and didn't dare or want to disclose the actual situation in Qingshan County.

At this time, the two spies were shocked to see the changes in Qingshan County, and when they heard the accompanying soldiers of the Nafu Camp talking about the family matters of the two intentionally or unintentionally, they couldn't help but feel shocked and cold.

There is something else behind the words!

These people even found out about their family situation!

That means that if the two of them don't obey, their families will suffer!

Therefore, when the two arrived at the county government, Chen Yan saw them and said a few words, and the two immediately surrendered to him obediently.

Chen Yan also promised them that as long as they were obedient, they would not only make money, but also move to Qingshan County to live out their lives in the future.

Living here, even if you don't have any skills, you can still make money, and you can make more. At the same time, you don't have to worry about the war. You can go home every day and have a wife and children. Isn't it wonderful?

The two of them became Chen Yan's double agents. On the one hand, they passed on what Chen Yan wanted Zhao Changhe to know, and on the other hand, they told Chen Yan all the arrangements of Zhao Changhe in detail.

At this time, Chen Yan asked the two to sit down, arranged wine and food, and asked about the specific details of Zhao Changhe's leading troops this time while eating and drinking.

After asking, Chen Yan already had a bottom line in his mind.

People in this world are divided into those who know what's good for them and those who don't.

This prefect is obviously the latter.

Chen Yan had his handle, but he never thought of harming him, but he didn't want this person to destroy the overall environment of Longzhou.

Therefore, he also clearly emphasized to Zhao Changhe that as long as the latter didn't mess around, he would never do anything unfavorable.

Unfortunately, Zhao Changhe's brain was not smart enough.

In that case, don't blame him for being rude!

After the two of them finished eating and drinking, Chen Yan gave them ten taels of reward each, and after some instructions, the two of them left happily.

"Biaozi!"

Chen Yan shouted, and Zhang Dabiao came in quickly.

"Tell the brothers to get ready, it's time to stretch your muscles!"

"Yes, sir! I'll get ready right away."
