August Xinsishuo, see you in the daytime.

There are Zhang Wanxian in Shandong, numbering 30; Zhang Di, numbering [-]; Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei, numbering [-];He ordered his servant Liang Fangping to discuss it.

—— "Continued Zizhi Tongjian" Volume 95

……

On the rugged mountain road, Han Zhen rode a war horse, behind him were seven or eight ox carts full of money and goods.

Han Zhang is wearing a bamboo hat, riding a nagous horse, and following in the convoy.

From time to time, he raised his head and glanced at Han Zhen's tall and generous back, his eyes were full of smiles.

Today is the day when Han Zhen moved to the county seat.

He didn't take away all the money in the small treasury, but left [-] copper coins for backup.

Now the lime kilns and brick factories have begun to make profits. Although they can't make much money, they can still be responsible for their own profits and losses, so there is no need to post money to them.

In terms of personnel, Zhu Zhengze was promoted to accountant and took charge of Xiaowang Village's finances.

He has a dull personality, but he is extremely serious in his work, and he is pure and filial, so it is most reassuring to let him manage money.

Xiaochong was appointed as the head of the capital to take over Ma Sangou's previous position, and recruited fifty young and strong village braves to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the village and arresting criminals.

The only problem at present is that the accounts are quite chaotic. After the completion of the salt factory, Han Zhen will bring the scribes to sort out the entire Linzi County, including Xiaowang Village and Songshan Village, from top to bottom.

As for the army, it was independent from the beginning.

All expenses, including rewards, go through the internal accounts of the army, and it will be the same in the future.

The army is the army, and to ensure its purity, there is nothing else to do except fighting.

Once it is mixed with other things, the nature of the army will change.

Nearly an hour later, Han Zhen rode into the east gate of the county seat.

After learning that he was going to live in the county seat, Changzhi County ordered people to clean up the Xu family's house early on.

He also helped to buy maids and domestic servants in the dental shop, and Han Zhen only needs to carry his bags and move in.

The gate of the house opened, and the butler led a group of servants to wait in front of the door early.

Seeing Han Zhen, the butler immediately bowed and called, "Ah Lang!"

Han Zhen rode on the horse and looked down at the crowd without speaking.

Under his gaze, a group of servants bowed their heads one after another, feeling apprehensive.

"Work hard in the future, and I won't treat you badly. If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, don't blame me."

These maid servants are all natives of Linzi County, so they have naturally heard of Han Zhen's reputation.

Not to mention, the previous head of this mansion was beheaded by his own Alang.

Hearing the chill in his words, all the servants nodded hastily.

Although they didn't understand why Han Zhen swaggered back to the county seat after killing officials and rebelling, but since the county magistrate didn't care, it was their turn to worry about it.

As long as they can have something to eat, don't deduct wages, and don't beat and scold at will, they don't care what the identity of the host is.

Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Han Zhang and introduced: "This is Madam, if I'm not here, her words will be mine."

Hearing that Han Zhen introduced herself as his wife in public, Han Zhang was both ashamed and happy, and a blush crept up her cheeks.

"I have seen Mrs."

The butler immediately saluted and called out respectfully.

"Let's go in."

Han Zhen got off his horse and walked into the gate of the house.

The last time I came to Xu's house was in the middle of the night.

At that time, I was only focused on killing people and stealing money, and the sky was dark, so I couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

Looking at it now, I can't help but sigh.

After all, it is a county registrant, which is not comparable to Wang Yuanwai, a country rich man.

The whole house is not particularly big, and it is also a house with three entrances. The overall layout highlights these four characters, fresh and elegant.

The flower beds and rockery in the courtyard are all made by famous artists. Those who don’t know it think they are in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even in the hot summer, you will feel cooler in your heart when you are in it.

After all, Mrs. Han Zhang is a country woman, and Wang Yuanwai's house is considered a mansion to her.

Walking in the mansion at this moment, I feel in a trance, feeling unreal.

Fortunately, Han Zhen was by her side, otherwise she might run away in despair.

Feeling Han Zhang's uneasiness, Han Zhen held her little hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, this will be our home from now on."

"Ok!"

Han Zhang was ashamed and wanted to break free, but she couldn't bear it.

All the way to the back house, Han Zhen pointed to the main room and directed: "Move all the luggage in."

Han Zhang didn't understand Han Zhen's thoughts, his head was almost buried in the fruit.

"Yes."

The butler responded and called the servants to do it.

After the settlement was settled, and after staying with Mrs. Han and Zhang for a while, Han Zhen said: "Run Niang, you stay at home, I will go to the county government."

Mrs. Han Zhang nodded obediently and said, "Erlang, go and do your work. Don't worry about my family."

"Ok!"

Gently pinching her delicate cheeks, Han Zhen walked out of the house all the way.

As soon as he entered the county government office, a government servant immediately greeted him: "County magistrate, the magistrate has something important to discuss."

Hearing this, Han Zhen's face darkened, and he walked into the lobby quickly.

In the lobby, Changzhi County looked solemn, with anxiety flashing in his eyes.

After seeing Han Zhen, he habitually exchanged greetings: "Is the home settled properly?"

"What happened?"

Han Zhen didn't answer, but asked straight to the point.

Changzhi County handed over a residence newspaper: "This is the residence newspaper urgently sent by the state government, just take a look."

Hurry up!
Generally speaking, these two words are not a trivial matter.

After receiving the mansion newspaper, Han Zhen read it carefully.

After looking at it, my heart was shocked.

The North has finally rioted!
Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei Province started an uprising in Taihang Mountain. There were only a few hundred people at the beginning, and 30 people gathered in a short period of time, corrupting five prefectures and twelve counties.

At the same time, there are Zhang Dizhe in Luozhou, with a number of [-].

The most important thing is that there was also a riot at the door of the house.

Shouguang County in Qingzhou was breached, and all officials, big and small, including the county magistrate, were all beheaded.

The insurgent, named Zhang Wanxian, has now engulfed more than [-] people, calling himself the Ganchi Army.

In addition, there is another sentence in the Di Bao, which is also the most important.

[The remaining [-] to [-] people are innumerable. 】

What this sentence means is that apart from the above three named ones, there are countless unknown rebels whose numbers range from [-] to [-].

All of a sudden, wars broke out in the north, shaking Gyeonggi.

This time Song Huizong was completely panicked. In previous years, there had been rebel uprisings, but they were not as dense as they are now.

Liang Fangping was ordered to be the envoy of Xuanfu for the three routes. Yang Weizhong, Wang Yuan, Zhang Jun, Xin Xingzong, Han Shizhong, etc. were all pre-arranged for their service, and [-] western troops were recruited to go to Hebei to fight against the rebels.

Putting down the residence newspaper, Han Zhen frowned.

The riots in the north had been expected as early as he had expected. The two years of northern expedition had drained the blood of the three northern roads, and the people were on the verge of collapse.

Wang Fu's taxation of Ding body money was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

To Han Zhen's surprise, there was no movement in Heishanzhai, a hundred miles away!
He has read Master Xu's account book several times, and has carefully calculated the supplies transported over the years, which is enough to support an army of ten thousand people.

Besides, he didn't think that Heishanzhai colluded with only one official, Mr. Xu.

Therefore, the true strength of Heishanzhai is only strong but not weak.

But in this residence report, the words Heishanzhai and Li Tianwang did not appear at all.

This is intriguing.

At this moment, after seeing him finish reading the mansion newspaper, Chang Zhi County looked worried and said, "That Ten Thousand Immortals gathered hundreds of thousands, and now occupy Shouguang County, what should we do if we call?"

"A group of mobs, why should Chang Zhi County worry about it?" Han Zhen said in a disdainful tone.

Gather [-] people, and the real number can reach [-] to [-].

Of these 7 to [-] people, at most [-] are young and strong, and the rest are all coerced old, weak, sick and disabled to strengthen their momentum.

Although Han Zhen's soldiers were few, compared to these uprising peasants, they were the elite among the elite. Not to mention taking the initiative to attack, it was more than enough to defend a county.

"That's good!"

Hearing the strong confidence in his tone, Chang Zhixian couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Instead, he was lucky to have Han Zhen around.

After reading the Di Bao earlier, he was so scared that he almost rubbed the soles of his feet with oil.

What is the concept of one hundred thousand rebels?
Last time, only a few thousand people had already captured the county seat. If Han Zhen hadn't rushed to help in time, his head would have hung high on the city gate long ago.

Suddenly, the magistrate thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Did you bring the troops here this time?"

"No."

Han Zhen shook his head and explained: "There is no military camp here in the county seat. I plan to build a military camp nearby and then move the troops here."

The military camp in the cottage was too small. Han Zhen's original intention was to find a hilltop near the county seat and directly designate the entire mountain as a military camp.

It can not only ensure the purity of the army, but also facilitate training.

In the future, Xiaowang Village will recruit another [-] soldiers to act as reserves.

He is usually responsible for guarding the cottage, and once a war breaks out, he can be added to the army to replenish the source of troops.

Hearing that it will take some time, Changzhi County immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't delay this matter, the property recovered last time, after rewards and compensation for the loss of the people, there are still more than 1 guan left, how about Just use this money to build the military camp, if it is not enough, the county can add some more."

"It's the slack time for farming right now. There is no shortage of manpower in the county. As long as we pay enough wages, the barracks can be built in less than three days."

Han Zhen looked a little weird, nodded and said: "Well, let's go to Changzhi County."

Changzhi County paid for his military camp out of his own pocket. Why would he refuse such a good job?

"Has the location of the military camp been decided?"

Changzhi County is more concerned than him at the moment.

Han Zhen asked, "Do you have a map?"

"Have!"

After Changzhi County finished speaking, he called people to get a map from Boting's warehouse.

Soon, a scribe came holding a map.

After the map unfolded, Han Zhen couldn't help but be surprised.

He thought that ancient maps should be rough, but he didn't expect them to be so detailed.

The center of the map is Linzi County, and every village, every mountain, and every stream in the surrounding area is clearly drawn and clearly marked.

The key is the color version.

Han Zhen checked the map carefully, and after a while, he pointed to a mountain and said, "Choose here."

This mountain is not far from the county seat, only a short three or five miles away, adjacent to the official road.

The terrain at the foot of the mountain is flat and there is a river.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Changzhi County pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and said: "This place is really good. Once there is a change, we can immediately cut off the official road and cut off the outside passage."

After the confirmation, Changzhi County called craftsmen to conduct on-site surveys and draw construction drawings.

Immediately afterwards, news of the recruitment spread throughout the county.

In the afternoon, construction of the barracks officially started.

Even Han Zhen was surprised by this efficiency.
