Dajin royal family
Chapter 343
Chapter 343
Because Lulong County is close to the border, the city is not big, and it looks very narrow. The official road leading directly to the Yamen can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
Coupled with the banditry, there are not many pedestrians on the road at this moment, and the momentum looks sluggish.
"Lord Luo, how did it become like this?" Jiang Chengxiao asked Luo Ziwen beside him.
Luo Ziwen smiled wryly, and explained: "Your Highness doesn't know. In the past, Lulong County was also an important foothold for merchants from all over the world to go north for business. Although it is not as good as Chang'an Luoyang, it is still very lively in this northern place."
"It's a pity that since the conquest of Goguryeo, the common people were afraid of being conscripted by the imperial court, so they all went south, and a small part of them went outside the pass. Later, when violent bandits broke out, it became even more depressed, and everyone who could escape fled. Those who couldn’t escape went up the mountain and became bandits.”
"The ones left in the city are all old people, not young people."
In the end, Luo Ziwen felt miserable in his heart.
All the young and strong in a county have fled. Who will plant the land, and where will the county soldiers go to recruit them?
Jiang Chengxiao nodded. It seemed that the situation in the Hebei counties was more serious than expected.
When the group got off their horses at the government office, Luo Ziwen prepared a reception banquet for Jiang Chengxiao, but Jiang Chengxiao saw the state of Lulong County, how could he eat it, so he quickly led his staff to clean up the basic situation of Lulong County.
Basically, half of those with household registration are not in Beiping County, and the other half have gone to the mountains to become violent bandits.
There is not much food in the county, there are only two thousand stones left, and the county soldiers are only more than 1000 people.
It can be said that Lulong County has survived until now, which in itself is something worthy of praise.
"Your Highness, the situation is not very good." Yu Qing held the household registration booklet of Beiping County with a serious expression on his face.
Jiang Chengxiao also knew that the situation was not good. Suppressing the bandits was not as easy as simply killing the bandits.
For example in Lulong County, half of the bandits were former civilians, and most of them were young and middle-aged. These were precious labor forces, and they were all killed. If there were no people in Beiping County, what would be the use of beating them down?
This kind of behavior of exhausting the pond and fishing is unacceptable.
But now the problem came, if he didn't have enough food, how could he help these refugees and let them go back to work in the fields.
In this troubled world, a mouth can't do much.
"How much grain do we have left in Liaodong?"
"Your Highness, no!" Yu Qing's complexion changed, and he quickly stopped him: "Your Highness, the grain in Liaodong's warehouse is no longer enough to support the army. Now the three counties are counting on a good harvest this year, and you must not tamper with it. .”
After saying that, Jiang Chengxiao stopped thinking about using Liaodong's grain.
"Now the food that the imperial court approved to allocate to me has been delayed on the road. I have written three memorials and handed them over. I can only wait for the imperial court's food to arrive before I come to help Beiping County."
Jiang Chengxiao put his hands behind his back and sighed.
Yu Qing said: "The most urgent task now is to persuade those people who have been bandits to return to the fields, and the spring planting must be timely."
Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "I've already thought of this, and asked General Pei and Hu Cao from Lulong County to confirm the identities of those local people."
"Then the subordinates will also go to help, so that it will be faster."
"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Jiang Chengxiao patted Yu Qingze on the shoulder.
At this moment, Luo Ziwen walked in, greeted Yu Qingze and came to Jiang Chengxiao.
"How is it, Your Highness?"
Jiang Chengxiao smiled wryly, "Lord Luo is asking me too much, and I can't do anything about this situation."
Luo Ziwen said: "Your Highness, to be honest, I want to ask His Highness to station in Lulong County. For this spring planting and for the people of Beiping County, I hope His Highness will agree."
What Luo Ziwen meant, Jiang Chengxiao understood, was nothing more than wanting him to protect this place in Beiping County, so that after he left, the bandits would come back and disrupt production.
"Lord Luo, you also know that I am the envoy of Hebei, responsible for suppressing bandits in Hebei." After a pause, Jiang Chengxiao said: "Lord Luo knows best what is going on in Hebei now, if I stay in Beiping County , what about other places?"
Facing Jiang Chengxiao's rhetorical question, Luo Ziwen didn't know how to answer for a while.
Immediately afterwards, the scene that made Jiang Chengxiao at a loss appeared, and Luo Ziwen suddenly fell to the ground, crying and uttering an unfamiliar northern dialect from his mouth.
Jiang Chengxiao suddenly had one head and two big ones, but it was not easy for him to reprimand Luo Ziwen.
First of all, he cried because of what happened in Beiping County, and he was not greedy for life or afraid of death.Secondly, he is doing it for the common people, what can Jiang Chengxiao say.
Facing an old man crying like this, Jiang Chengxiao could only scold angrily with a straight face.
"Lord Luo, be safe and don't be impatient!"
He had never seen an old man act like a rascal.
Luo Ziwen stopped crying, the corners of his mouth drool all over his face.
"Your Highness agrees?" Luo Ziwen looked at Jiang Chengxiao happily.
Jiang Chengxiao shook his head firmly, "Lord Luo, I can't agree to this matter. Hebei is full of bandits. If I stay here, other places will become hell on earth. When the king left Luoyang, His Majesty told you to clean up Hebei. banditry."
"But Lord Luo, don't worry, as long as there are violent bandits in Beiping County, you write a letter to the king, and the king will definitely lead his troops to suppress the bandits."
Well, the emperor was moved out by Jiang Chengxiao, what else could Luo Ziwen say.
"So, thank you Your Highness."
Luo Ziwen is also an interesting person, he knows that Jiang Chengxiao will not let go of what he did, so he really won't stay in Beiping County.
Leaving the room, Luo Ziwen sighed.
"Uncle, what does His Royal Highness King Liang say?" Luo Kaidao walked to Luo Ziwen and asked.
Luo Ziwen shook his head, "No, he has to leave Beiping County."
"Ah!" Luo Kaidao hurriedly said: "If he leaves, what should we do if the bandits come back again?"
Luo Kaidao had seen the sharpness of the army under King Liang, and he took down the violent bandits on Jieshi Mountain in a few days. As long as King Liang is willing to stay in Beiping County, then Beiping County will be able to settle down.
Luo Ziwen shook his head, "He won't stay. Firstly, he is Hebei's recruitment envoy, who was ordered to wipe out the bandits in various counties in Hebei. Secondly, my Beiping County can't support the [-] troops under King Liang. "
"Uncle, why don't we ask all the officials and common people in Beiping County to ask His Royal Highness King Liang to stay?"
"Bastard!" Luo Ziwen slapped Luo Kaidao's face, and then pointed at his nose and cursed; "What are you trying to do? You are forcing the palace!"
Luo Ziwen also realized that his thoughts were a bit outrageous, so he quickly apologized.
"Yes, yes, nephew is a jerk, nephew is a jerk."
"Huh!" Luo Ziwen snorted coldly, "Do you think this King Liang is a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person? In the six years of Hongye, I was ordered to escort food and grass into Goguryeo, and I saw this man murdered [-] Goguryeo soldiers. It's so ruthless."
Hearing this, Luo Kaidao felt cold all over.
"Uncle, why has my nephew never heard of this matter?"
"Nonsense, what is the status of King Liang? His majesty acquiesced in the murder of his soldiers. Who dares to talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, you think, why the untouchables of Goguryeo dare not return to the country is because this person guards Liaodong, and Goguryeo dare not !"
"If you, an idiot, persecute him, maybe he will sacrifice our lives to the flag."
"Yes, my nephew quit."
Luo Ziwen flicked his sleeves and left.
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Chengxiao to stay in Liaodong, not only because of the court, but also because of his strategic issues.
Now that Beiping County has been pacified, the next step is naturally Yuyang County. At present, Yu Chijing led the Qingying Army and has already entered Yanshan. Just wait for his order to be issued, the violent bandits in Yanshan will be wiped out, and Yuyang County will be pacified by then.
However, Jiang Chengxiao was not in a hurry.
He knelt behind the table and wrote the memorial to the imperial court with a pen.
In the memorial, he first told the emperor that the Xi people in the north had been beaten back, Goguryeo had also recovered, and he also wiped out the violent bandits in Beiping County.
Now that the good news is over, it's time to make a request.
First of all, it is natural to tell the emperor that the livelihood of the people in Beiping County is declining, and they urgently need food relief from the imperial court to help the refugees restore order.
The second is the issue of military pay, which Jiang Chengxiao wrote more painfully.
The last thing is to promise the emperor that he will quell the violent bandits in the counties of Hebei within a year.
After finishing writing, Jiang Chengxiao sealed it with wax paint and handed it over to the soldiers.
After the imperial court's memorial was written, Jiang Chengxiao should be ready for the next step. It's not enough to just write the memorial to urge the emperor to allocate food, and he needs to find someone else.
At this time, the benefits of having someone in the court are reflected.
