After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

"In this case, I have no choice but to use some means to force Mr. Sun to show up. There are at least one hundred thousand refugees in Jinzhou. Before we arrived in Lan County, we met [-] bandits in the nearby mountains and forests. If Mr. Sun does not show up, , then I have no choice but to send someone to spread the word that there is endless food and porridge in Lan County, and call on all the refugees nearby to rush to Lan County. By then, you will not only face us. Five thousand refugees, but tens of thousands of refugees! With just a few hundred of you, it is impossible to defend Lan County! I will give you a stick of incense to think about, if you don’t call Master Sun Come, then I will ask the people who pack food and deliver letters to leave now! By then, fifteen thousand refugees will crowd the city, and the two parties will start fighting again. I wonder how many days your Lan County can hold out——"

The soldier guarding the city was shocked.

Are there tens of thousands of refugees around here?
If we lure them all here, why don't we directly attack the city, burn, kill, and loot? !

The soldier couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't dare to make any decision. He could only quickly say: "Quick, quick, come to Master Sun!"

Xu Qingying, on the other hand, sat down.

She sat down.

At such a tense moment, she actually sat down on the ground.

I really don’t have enough to eat and I don’t have any energy. I wish I could save some energy.

Everyone behind him was also shocked. One second he was negotiating, and the next second he was sitting down.

Seeing this, Jiang Yongkang burst into laughter.

Several others followed suit and sat down with Xu Qingying.

However, Feng'er and Xu Huiming were so nervous that they felt like they were going to vomit. Their bodies were tense, as if they were on pins and needles, and their facial features were all on guard. Their sharp eyes were constantly observing the top of the city wall, for fear that someone would release a cold arrow, so they told them to stay here.

At such a critical moment, the two of them couldn't help but glance at Xu Qingying.

Xu Qingying was very calm, even meditating calmly, completely ignoring the threats of rows of cold arrows on the city wall.

Jiang Yongkang said: "The two dynasties are negotiating without killing the envoys. They don't have the guts to make secret arrows. There are 5000 to [-] people behind us. No one can win from this fight."

Even though she said this, Feng'er was still nervous.

She is still far behind, look how calm the girl is.

However, Xu Huiming calmed down a lot after Jiang Yongkang said this. Now she is thinking carefully about what Xu Qingying said just now.

He had to admire this sister. As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. No matter whether there are thousands of refugees around him, if his sister says there are, then there are.

What's more, Lan County has been closed for many days, and his ears and eyes are blocked. He must have no idea whether there are any refugees nearby. It doesn't matter whether he is true or false, as long as Magistrate Sun believes it.

Sure enough, not long after, an impatient young man appeared on the city wall.

He is so young that even Xu Huiming would envy him.

Magistrate Sun is only in his 20s, with fair skin, and he looks like he belongs to a wealthy family.To be able to pass the Jinshi examination at such a young age and live in such a wealthy Lan County shows that this person's family background is by no means simple.

Xu Huiming did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

Sun Qingchen did not dare to take advantage of the situation, nor did he dare to look down on Xu Qingying and his party. Although he ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, he always paid attention to the situation of the refugees outside the city gate. He knew that Xu Zhenying's team came later, but he did not expect that he would act like this So many people were admitted quickly?
Sun Qingchen has never encountered such a difficult thing in his life.

He felt that it was not difficult to pass the imperial examination, and it was not difficult to be a county magistrate. What was difficult was dealing with local dignitaries. What was difficult was that he had to close the city gates and starve these people to death outside the city when he was clearly watching the people being displaced. .

Rich families are reluctant to give out porridge, fearing that their good intentions will fail and attract more refugees to covet them.

The refugees at the gate of the city frequently made trouble. Seeing that the siege was imminent, he did not have enough soldiers and horses, and the letters for help he sent came to nothing.

The gates of several city gates are full of refugees. People inside the city are not allowed to enter or exit. They are sitting on nothing and cannot hold on for long.

Sun Qingchen had thought about taking in the refugees, but Lan County was so big, and the population in the city was only ten thousand at most. How could he come up with the extra money, food, and land to house so many mouths.

What's more, once word spreads about Lan County's admission of refugees, it will only attract more refugees to seek refuge, fearing endless troubles.

However, Sun Qingchen knew that these refugees were farmers near Jinzhou and ran out after being hit by a disaster. Therefore, he could not bear to deal harshly with these people. He usually just asked the city defenders to drive them away.

At this moment, he poked his head out from above the city wall and saw five people sitting in the snow below.

The leader is a young man.

There were fine snowflakes floating in the sky, like crystal clear goose feathers, falling on the young man's head and body.

The boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had a plain white face and looked quiet and calm as he sat there.

Sun Qingchen thought in his mind: His subordinates came to report that the other party was a young man. How could he be a young man? He was clearly a young boy.

It's okay, let's try his strength first.

"I am the magistrate of Lan County, who am I?"

After a long time of commotion, the real owner finally appeared.

Xu Qingying stood up, looked up at Sun Qingchen on the city wall, stood with her fists clasped and said, "My name is Xu Zhenying, and he is the leader of this group of refugees. I have a win-win strategy that I want to dedicate to Mr. Sun, please." Mr. Sun is leaving the city for a brief talk."

The master next to Sun Qingchen twitched his beard, "Oh, you have such a big face, you dare to ask us adults to go out of the city to meet you. Since we want to talk, why don't you come up?"

"It's not impossible. Please open the city gate and let me wait for a while before entering the city."

The master froze, but he didn't expect Xu Qingying to attack him with her words.

In just a few words, why did the city gate open?
Sun Qingchen looked at the young man's cheeks that were blue from the cold, and saw his bright and clear eyes. This man could conquer five thousand people so quickly, and his appearance was neither humble nor arrogant. Sun Qingchen naturally liked such outstanding young people, but he also knew Don't underestimate the enemy, so he asked: "Young man, do you really have a win-win plan?"

"County Magistrate Sun doesn't believe it. How about we allow the five of us to unload our weapons and enter the city for a talk? The city is heavily guarded. Is it possible that Lord Sun is still afraid of me, a person who has no strength to restrain a chicken?"

"Okay!" Sun Qingchen was not afraid, but the master beside him was cautious, "Sir, if this person dares to enter alone, I am afraid he has some real abilities."

Sun Qingchen patted his clothes, straightened his jade crown, and said with a fearless face, "What are you afraid of? This young man has the ability and courage. If he can really solve the problem of this homeless man, I can give him the job as the county magistrate!" The master immediately raised his hands in fear, "Sir, please don't joke."

"You know it's a joke, so quickly open the city gate and invite him in."

The people at the city gate were obviously stunned.

Lao Liao touched his chin and said meaningfully: "You made a mistake. This girl is really capable. No wonder she can suppress so many people at such a young age. Heroes are born from young. Girls can do it too."

Liao Chun was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, "Then why did the dog officer open the city gate and let them in? What did that damn girl just say to him?"

When everyone in the Xu family saw Xu Qingying and the others walking directly into the city, they were even more frightened.

Xu Degui watched helplessly as they dropped the weapons in their hands. Although he was worried, he did not forget to take people to retrieve them immediately.

During this escape, a few bowls were treasures, not to mention iron tools.

Miao was much more tenacious this time and no longer wiped away her tears. However, the two children had gone in, so she had to worry, "What should I do? They all said that Magistrate Sun was a good man and would not treat Huiming badly." It’s not good for Ying’er.”

Xu Degui put away all the weapons and just said: "Don't be afraid, our daughter has an idea. Seeing how calm and calm she is, you know she has a plan."

Soon, the city gate was closed again.

Xu Qingying was walking leisurely and was led by a soldier through the city wall. The cold wind blew through the city wall. The city wall was very thick, about five or six meters deep. Even such a thick city wall seemed to have a trace of air in the snowy sky. A chill.

She only saw a figure at the end.

Sun Qingchen was definitely not the only one coming.

The person holding the knife in front for protection should be the county captain. At this moment, he was glaring at Xu Qingying and his group with caution.

The county captain raised his knife and looked the group of people up and down.

The leader was young and smiling. He looked more like he was visiting the city than negotiating.

The big guy following him had a muscular body and strong arms, but his eyes were very honest. He actually smiled when he saw him.

The young man next to him, with his shoulders and waist and sharp eyes, looked like a practitioner at first sight.

These people are definitely not ordinary refugees!

Ordinary refugees have long been so hungry that their eyes are only numb, and they will not be as energetic as they are despite being tired.

I heard that there are many outlaws in Lan County. The fact that these people can get here smoothly should not be underestimated.

The soldiers checked whether they were carrying weapons, and with a distance of about five or six meters, the two parties met each other for the first time.

"Master Sun, you are polite." Xu Qingying took the lead in saluting and saying hello.

It was obvious that Sun Qingchen was a practical person. He was also anxious to get angry and had no intention of being perfunctory. He got straight to the point and said, "You said you have a good plan for taking in the refugees. Let's hear it."

Xu Qingying was also unambiguous, "I don't have any good ideas. I just want to ask the county magistrate to give the refugees a way out. I can also see that Mr. Sun is a good official and does not want the refugees to starve and freeze. I am afraid that the refugees will not be able to enter the city." They are afraid that it will be easy to ask gods but difficult to send them, and they are even more afraid that there is insufficient food in the city to feed such a large population. We might as well buy time to solve these problems. The most important thing right now is that the hungry refugees will definitely cause trouble, so we must first appease the refugees. . I want to send twenty or thirty trustworthy women to the city from tomorrow to make purchases. Most of them are peasant girls with innocent wealth. If they go to the city to make purchases, they will not pose any threat to the people in the city, and they can also bring trouble to the refugees outside. They have a way to survive.”

Sun Qingchen's disappointment was palpable. He thought that this boy was some kind of worldly genius who could really solve the refugee crisis in Lan County, but he didn't expect that he was just a man who wanted to buy food without knowing what was going on.

"This year Jinzhou suffered a major food disaster. Food is more expensive than oil. A bucket of rice costs almost one tael of silver. There are five thousand of you. Even if you just eat gruel, the food for one day will cost you a thousand taels of silver." .”

Sun Qingchen didn't say anything unnecessary.

But the master was rude and said, "You think you are rich! If you were really rich, you wouldn't come to ask for food!"

Xu Qingying was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face, "Unfortunately, I am indeed wealthy and can feed 5000 people. It depends on whether there is food in Lan County."

"If there is food in Lan County, I won't shut out all the people. Boy, you don't know the world in Jinzhou now. You can't buy food even if you have a lot of money! The people all know that the harvest this year is not good. If you are holding on to the little food at home to save your life, how can you be willing to exchange it for money! Now that food is more expensive than your life!"

Xu Qingying smiled faintly, her eyes cold, "You can buy life, let alone food. Your Excellency, you might as well tell the people in the city that I, Xu Zhenying, will send someone to buy it tomorrow. The price is arbitrary. As long as they are willing to sell the food, I, Xu Zhenying, will be willing to sell it." Buy it with money. Everyone, buyer and seller, trades equally, no one feels that they are at a disadvantage, and I am afraid there is no reason to stop it."

What Xu Qingying said was so reasonable that no one could refute it, let alone find any doubt.

The master was also stunned, "Are you really rich? Food in the city is not cheap these days -"

"Whether you can get the food or not is your business, and whether you can afford it is our business. As the saying goes, my talents will be useful. A thousand pieces of gold will come back when they are gone. Silver is dead, but life is alive. I, Xu Zhenying, have other abilities. If you don’t, you can earn two stinky coins. These stinky coins can save the lives of thousands of people, which is a matter of immeasurable merit! What’s more, the world is not ancient and people’s hearts are unpredictable. In such difficult times, it is even more important to help each other.”

This was said quite domineeringly.

The master pursed his lips and said to himself: To make it sound nice, you have to get real money.

"Well said!" Sun Qingchen's eyes were bright, and he took Xu Qingying's hand, but he didn't dislike his unkempt appearance, "What a rich man who has lost all his money and comes back. In this case, it's settled that you will send someone tomorrow Some women went to the city to buy to temporarily alleviate the food crisis. But you should know that there is not much food in Lan County, so many people cannot hold on for a few days, so you should leave quickly."

Xu Qingying gave a sloppy look, "Of course that's the reason. But even if you leave, you still have to buy food, otherwise what will you eat and drink on the way? But I heard that wealthy families generally have their own granaries. Since Lan County is in short supply of food, why, sir?" Don’t let wealthy households open warehouses to help the common people.”

Sun Qingchen didn't hide it from her, but he said it vaguely, "I see that your words and deeds are elegant and calm, so you must be a scholar. Maybe you will understand the stakes after you are released from high school."

Xu Qingying smiled modestly and said, "With your good advice, no matter how good the future is, I have to get over this hurdle first."

When Sun Qingchen saw that Xu Qingying was well-organized and well-organized, he was a rare good talent and truly loved talents. He pulled Xu Qingying to one side and whispered: "If the situation outside is really bad, I can tolerate it here." You go to the city alone. You can study here with peace of mind, and it won't be too late to take the exam after the situation stabilizes."

Xu Qingying was stunned.

I didn't expect Master Sun to be so simple and honest.

How can she seize his city in a few days?
