Chapter 154 Lack of a Blacksmith

Putting down the water ladle in his hand, Song Qingyou asked, "Why did Master Cui come to me if he didn't go to train the recruits?"

I saw Cui Xizuo carefully avoiding various vegetable seedlings and crossing the field ridge, and said excitedly: "Early this morning, Xiao Qishu told me some of my sister-in-law's thoughts last night! I didn't expect my sister-in-law to have such a strategy."

"Ah...haha, it's too much of a compliment." Song Qingyou was dumbfounded by the praise, "You came here so early in the morning just to say that, right?"

Well... being so straightforward embarrassed Cui Xicao, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric.

"Of course not." Cui Xizuo scratched his head a little naively and said: "The problems raised by Madam-in-law are all urgent problems that we need to solve at present, but now we have to train new soldiers and find ways to obtain supplies, and the manpower problem is really stretched. "

Speaking of supplies, Song Qingyou was actually curious, so he asked: "You soldiers are paid, so where can the people recruited by the states and counties go to get workers... Oh, no, it's monthly money."

"Naturally, the governments of the prefectures and counties are responsible for it."

""Hiss~" Song Qingyou took a breath and was distracted, wondering if it was enough to confiscate the Fang Mansion's property.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law?" Cui Xizuo waved his hand in front of Song Qingyou's eyes. After bringing her back to reality, he continued what he just said: "After getting along with each other these days, I also found that Mrs. Sister-in-law is different from other ladies, and she has a bit of the style of the eldest princess of the country. So I hope my sister-in-law can help."

She was worried that there was no good way to earn points, so this opportunity came to her door. Of course, Song Qingyou had no reason to refuse, "What help do you need from me?"

"We still need to consider the first three points mentioned by Madam-in-law in the long term. As for the blacksmith, I have to trouble Madam-in-law to go to Dechang Mansion in the north. It is rich in iron ore and has an iron smelting industry. There are many blacksmith shops. Please ask for one. …”

"Cui Xizuo!" Xiao Qishu interrupted Cui Xizuo angrily and said with a sullen face: "Dechang Mansion is three hundred miles away from Kushui County! Why don't you let your soldiers go!"

Cui Xizhuo couldn't help shrinking his neck. Since he was a child, he was afraid of Xiao Qishu's low voice, because it would always make him feel that there was something dark behind him, so he had to change his words with a bitter face: "I... oh, okay, let my personal guards Go long."

"My lord! Something has happened!" A soldier ran over in a hurry, "My lord! Suddenly there are many refugees outside the city, and they are about to break through the city gate!"

Song Qingyou and the three immediately rushed to the gate of the county seat, and heard all kinds of dissatisfied shouts and curses from afar.

"Let me in! Why don't you let us in!"

"You dog officials! Why stop me!"

"I beg the magistrate to make the decision for us!"

The refugees were constantly trying to rush into the county seat, and Cui Xizhuo's personal guards, who were still there, formed a human wall with difficulty to block them.

As the county magistrate, Wang Hang arrived with Cui Xizuo, Song Qingyou and others. Seeing the formation, he staggered and was supported by the boy behind him, who touched the sweat on his forehead.

"Everyone!" Wang Hang ordered the boy to bring a stool, climbed up and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I am the new magistrate of Kushui County. If you have any grievances, you can slowly make it clear. I will definitely make the decision for you. .”

The refugees really calm down, look at me and look at you, and finally an old man came out and said tremblingly: "Master County Magistrate, we were originally villagers of Liujia Village, a few days ago suddenly a group of bandits charged Enter the village, loot all the food and property, burn down the houses, and kill the young and middle-aged people who resisted in the village, please let me be the master!"

After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down, followed by others behind him, kowtowing and shouting, "I beg you to be the master."

Wang Hang suddenly had one head and two big ones, and couldn't help looking at Cui Xizhuo for help, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with studying in the Imperial Academy.

There are quite a number of refugees, including men, women and children. Song Qingyou was worried that there would be trouble if he let everyone in hastily, so he said: "It happens that the new camp outside the city has not long been built, and many places are still vacant. Why don't we put these people there now?" , after the registration is clear, we will arrange one by one."

"Good! Good!" Wang Hang went to inform while talking.

When the recruits, who had been trained for a long time, finally heard that they had a mission, they all geared up and settled the refugees one by one according to the instructions, and then registered them with the paperwork.

After such an episode, the manpower shortage became even more apparent. Cui Xizuo once again plucked up the courage to ask Song Qingyou for help, "Madam, the situation is more complicated now. The suppression of bandits is imminent. What happened before..."

Song Qingyou spread her hands and said, "I have no problem."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Qishu's face was very ugly, "You are a daughter, how can you—"

Gee!
What Song Qingyou dislikes most is talking about gender. When she became a surgeon in her previous life, she was often discriminated against because of her gender. When Xiao Qishu said that, she immediately became angry.

"So what about women! Who says women are inferior to men? Isn't the founding princess also a daughter? If there was no princess in the Battle of Boling Pass, how could there be today! Xiao Qishu, why do you engage in gender discrimination!"

Xiao Qishu's expression changed suddenly. He could feel that Song Qingyou was really angry, and he quickly explained: "I'm not... I'm just worried about you, not to mention banditry, wild beasts, miasma, and various accidents in the mountains. If something happens to you, ,I--"

Song Qingyou understood what Xiao Qishu said, and most of his anger disappeared immediately. He cleared his throat and softened his tone, "It's not like I haven't experienced miasma all the way here, and don't you still believe in my medical skills? ?”

"Okay, okay." Cui Xizuo finally understood what his good brother was thinking, and came out to smooth things over at the right time and said: "What Xiao Qishu said is true, why not let Xiao Qishu accompany his wife. "

"Yes." Xiao Qishu cast a grateful look at Cui Xizhuo.

"Okay." Song Qingyou also saw the other party's thoughts, and in that case, both sides took a step back, and at the same time, some secret joy appeared in their hearts.

Dechang Mansion is three hundred miles away, and it would take at least a month to go back and forth with the current mode of transportation. Song Qingyou was worried that the vegetable garden he had finally saved would be completely scrapped, so he copied down some of his recent experiences overnight and handed it to Cheng Yuxi and Qian Qingyou. Ding Wan told her to take good care of the vegetable garden.

Cheng Yuxi originally wanted to go with her, but when she learned that the person traveling with her was Xiao Qishu, a meaningful smile appeared on her face and she joked: "Then I won't make this light bulb to disturb your world."

"Tsk!" Song Qingyou rolled her eyes blankly, "It is said that this road is full of deep mountains and old forests, what kind of world for two people!"

Cheng Yuxi just smiled and said nothing.
