Back Off, Let Me Come

Although the messenger [Zixu] gave Shen Tang buffer time, it was limited and there were too many things that needed to be dealt with.

This news was not deliberately concealed. In less than two days, it spread throughout Heyin, and the people looked sad.

In the two years since Shen Tang took over Heyin, they have lived a peaceful and prosperous life, and the gloom of the past seems far away.

But this does not mean that they have forgotten, they just hid those unbearable memories in the deepest part, and occasionally they would bring them out to chew on, just to express their feelings that they were lucky, met a good county guard, and finally came to the end of their hardships...

But, these good days are too short!

It’s really too short! Many elderly people even ran to the door of the government office to cry and almost fainted!

The younger ones would inevitably curse the royal court and the messenger who made this decision behind their backs.

But no matter how much you criticize, the fact is a foregone conclusion.

The officials in the government offices were extremely anxious.

It wasn't until the third day that Shen Tang held a meeting.

But the content of the meeting was different from what they thought.

"Everyone must have heard about what happened in the past few days, but as long as I don't step down from the post of Heyin County Sheriff, I will be the Heyin County Sheriff. I hope that during this period, you will all keep your posts and do your best. Do your job and don’t be careless.”

All the officials looked at each other privately.

They have been tossing and turning these days.

Very worried.

What are you worried about?

Worried about whether to go with Shen Tang.

It stands to reason that Lord Shen treated them and Heyin well. If not for Lord Shen's aggressive measures, Heyin would still be a desolate and barren land, a breeding ground for gangsters, and they would not be able to have the prosperity and happiness they have today. day……

It was the right thing for them to follow Shen Jun and leave.

but--

They are all natives of Heyin. Their ancestors have lived here for generations. They have parents, wives and children at home. Even their ancestral property and ancestral graves are here. How can they just leave here?

Even if they can walk, can their relatives endure the long journey?

Even if they could bear it, Longwu County was always in danger of being plundered by Shiwuma bandits. How could they bear to see their relatives who had been stable for only two years in danger? They were torn between loyalty and filial piety, and were tormented in their hearts. They were worried that Jun Shen would ask them if they wanted to follow them, and they were also worried that Jun Shen would leave without a backbone.

The hall was so quiet that you could clearly hear a pin drop, but what Shen Tang said next was completely different from what they thought. The current focus of work is still on the upcoming autumn harvest, packing up belongings, counting people and horses, and arranging for the aftermath.

Shen Tang is serious about dealing with the aftermath.

The first thing is to withdraw various "articles".

When Shen Tang was still in Heyin, she could strictly control the situation. The people's willingness to exchange "tickets" for purchases was also endorsed by the credibility of the government office and Shen Tang. It's not that Shen Tang doesn't distrust Xu Jie, who is about to take over, and she also believes that he is not a random person, but just because Xu Jie is trustworthy does not mean that everyone around Xu Jie can be trustworthy.

In order to avoid any hidden dangers, she would notify the people in advance and let the people who had "tickets" in their hands come to the official office to redeem the corresponding physical items.

As for the "notes" in the hands of merchants who do business outside, they are recorded in the account books, and they can just ask Xu Jie to help cash them back.

The Fugu Department Store can be left to Xu Jie to continue operating. This model is quite useful for He Yin at present.

Common people are also accustomed to this way of shopping.

Shen Tang kept detailed written records of other matters, such as the maintenance of reservoirs and rivers, the arrangements of the government officials, the acres of land in Heyin... every piece of it. Other businesses that can be cashed in, sell them in the shortest possible time to cash in food and grass.

The morning meeting lasted for an hour.

The staff members, who looked a little haggard, spoke one by one.

Finally, the end is near.

One official couldn't sit still.

He said, "Jun Shen——"

His eyes were about to speak but stopped.

Shen Tang guessed what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "I also have regulations here regarding you gentlemen."

All the officials cheered up and raised their ears.

Feeling anxious and nervous, swallowing involuntarily.

But Shen Tang said: "I recommend to the envoy the new governor of Heyin County. This person is quite familiar with you. He is Xu Jie, the head of the Xu family in Tianhai. With his temperament based on his writing, he will be able to work harmoniously with you. Heyin, we will make friends. It’s given to you.”

All the officials were immediately dumbfounded.

Shen, what Shen Jun means...

Are you planning to take none of them away? ? ?

"Jun Shen!"

Shen Tang didn't wait for them to say anything.

He sighed with emotion: "He Yin has been stumbling in the past two years, and every step has been heavy and slow. The pain in it is not known to outsiders. You all have watched it with your own eyes, and it has gradually transformed into the prosperous appearance it is today... In this world, It is not easy for the common people to have a place to settle down. You know Heyin, and I think that as long as you focus on serving the people, you can be stable. I hope that in the future, I can work with Wenzhu to protect it. In the coming year, maybe I will have the opportunity to work with you. All of you, please hold your cup and rejoice together..."

Shen Tang had carefully discussed with Qi Shan and others in the past few days as to whether to take away these officials.

The conclusion is not to take it away.

First, Ha Yin needs them.

Secondly, the situation in Longwu County is unclear, and it will be of little use if they go there. Shen Tang's current manpower is enough.

Thirdly, leaving home voluntarily and being forced to leave home are always two different things, and Shen Tang doesn't bother to force him.

Let's get together and part ways.

There were already officials in the hall bursting into tears.

The situation was so special that Shen Tang didn't bother to hide anything anymore, so he directly recruited troops and horses on the spot. The noise was so loud that it alerted the neighbors next door.

When they heard what happened, they were speechless and choked. Apart from lamenting that Shen Tang was unlucky and Zheng Qiao was too stubborn, he showed no sign of caution and even generously provided a sum of food and grass.

Among them, Tianhai Wu Xian was the most generous.

As soon as they came, Shen Tang had to go to that shabby place in Longwu County. If he didn't bring more soldiers and horses, he would just give them away. They were worried that Shen Tang wouldn't be able to recruit enough soldiers and horses.

Secondly, Shen Tang will no longer be a threat if he leaves He Yin.

It's too ugly to have a small belly and chicken intestines at this time.

The fate of Heyin County has also become their focus.

only--

Wu Xian spat out a mouthful of tea: "Who are you talking about?"

Who did his brother Shen recommend?

"...Yes, Wen Zhu."

"Brother Shen recommended the annotation..." Wu Xian stopped on the spot and didn't react for a long time, "He, Brother Shen..."

At this moment, Wu Xian had only one thought——

Brother Shen loves him so deeply!

Even Wu Xian did not dare to say that if he was transferred to another place, Tianhai County would be handed over to the "Tang Di acquaintance" whom he had met several times. This was the family fortune that he had worked hard for two years.

Two years and seven to eight hundred days and nights of hard work!

He understands the current situation of Heyin very well. It can barely be regarded as a prosperous and peaceful place, so he will give it away... Shen Tang won't recommend his staff to be the governor of Heyin?

I won’t say whether Wang Ting will agree or not, but this move...

Besides "true love", Wu Xian couldn't think of another word.

Close relatives may not be able to achieve this level of generosity and selflessness. They must be secretive about their own children and be suspicious of each other. And what's the difference between Shen Tang recommending Xu Jie under his account and giving He Yin to Wu Xian?

Before, he was more wary than trusting.

At this moment, all doubts collapsed.

"...Where are the annotations?" Wu Xian hurriedly asked Xu Jie's whereabouts. Xu Jie runs away all year round, and it is normal to see no one.

The person who sent the message: "...I have received the news and rushed to Heyin, saying that Mr. Shen has something to explain to him..."

Wu Xian pursed his lips, and all the staff members were quiet.

Even Qin Li, Qishan’s biggest fan, fell silent.

He began to believe——

With his actions, Mr. Shen influenced the "evil plot" and prayed for good.

"Alas...I'm not as good as Brother Shen..."

Wu Xian sighed with red eyes.

Although it somewhat ruined the atmosphere, Qin Li still wanted to ask: "How does the lord plan to arrange General Zhao?"

Wu Xian: "..."

What a conundrum.

Ordinarily, in two years, Zhao Feng fulfilled his original promise without any discounts - helping Shen Tang gain a foothold in Heyin, which can be regarded as repaying others' life-saving grace.

But at this juncture, no matter how thick-skinned Wu Xian was, he couldn't bring himself to recall Zhao Feng. People are willing to give away He Yin, who has worked so hard, but his villain's heart is like a gentleman's belly...

It cannot be explained by the four words "adding insult to injury".

With Zhao Feng's temper, he would not agree to come back.

Wu Xian's head was buzzing and hurting again.

"...Let Dayi decide this matter himself."

He chose to kick the ball back, and at the end he added: "Gongsu took my order and transferred ten thousand stones of food and grass to Heyin. This can be regarded as my brother doing it for Brother Shen. I hope Brother Shen will go to Longwu and really be able to float dragons into the sea." , Yunqi Longxiang..."

"only."

Shen Tang has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years.

The slogan for recruiting troops is just two words.

[Full of control! 】

In a chaotic world, these two words are more deadly than gold. Many young knights from neighboring counties rushed over after hearing the news. In just half a month, they recruited 5,000 people——

This is still the case where thresholds are set.

If there is no threshold, you can have 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

During this period, Shen Tang also did something small.

Secretly order people to hide their identities and go to relatively distant chaotic areas to search for decent girls.

Last year, due to the chaos caused by the refugees and poor harvests in various places, countless people were forced to leave their homes and many died of freezing and starvation along the way.

Human life is as cheap as grass.

Within a month, nearly a thousand people had been recruited.

These people must naturally be handed over to Bai Su. Bai Su had already started preparing to form a women's team before, but there was very little movement. They were all sneaking in. There were only a hundred people in total. If you go to Longwu County, you must also put it on your agenda.

Shen Tang is so busy right now that he is hitting the back of his head.

It wasn't until Xu Jie arrived at He Yin that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The annotation is back."

Shen Tang had not slept well for several days, and there was not much color on Shen Tang's face. Her lips were as pale as her face, and her eyes were slightly green and black. It was rare that Xu Jie didn't complain about her familiarity, and just nodded in response: "Well, came back."

"Has it been a hard journey?"

Xu Jie said: "It's not hard work, everything went smoothly."

"Oh, as long as it goes well..."

Xu Jie took a seat at Shen Tang's signal.

Shen Tang asked: "Should Wen Zhu have received the letter?"

Xu Jie: "I got it."

"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Xu Jie said: "It's too unfair to Mr. Shen."

Shen Tang smiled casually: "I don't think so much about whether it's fair or unfair. Longwu County really needs a reliable person in charge. The king transferred me here, presumably because he recognized my achievements in the past two years. If I can guard Longwu well, Wu County, intimidated Shiwu Xiaoxiao, so that they dare not invade Longwu again, and saved innocent people from being massacred, it is the same wherever I am..."

When Xu Jie heard this, he was greatly shocked. After a while, he choked up and said: "Jun Shen's character... Jie, I'm ashamed!"

"It's about He Yin... I dumped the burden of He Yin on you without asking for your opinion. It's not me... but I can't think of a second person who I can fully trust..." Shen Tang It's like nagging at home.

Xu Jie lowered his head: "Xie, I am afraid that I will betray Lord Shen's trust."

Shen Tang said sincerely: "It's not that I haven't thought about the other people in Brother Zhaode's account, it's just... firstly, I don't have much contact with them, and I don't know their character, so I'm not at ease if they are entrusted rashly; secondly, other people Most of them come from powerful noble families, have high family status, and naturally have complicated relationships. They are born to stand in high places. How can they possess the body to observe the bottom? They may not be able to treat the people of Heyin wholeheartedly. I am also afraid that they will become victims of the struggle for power. On the other hand, Tianhai The Xu family has relatively simple family relations, has been in business for generations, and has a lot of dealings with the common people. Wen Zhu is also traveling all year round, so he must be more sympathetic to the common people's needs..."

Xu Jie didn't say anything for a long time, until the heat of the tea on the table dissipated and turned from hot to lukewarm, he turned slightly red-eyed and said for the first time with emotion: "The Xu family started as a merchant, and has always been criticized. Today, Mr. Shen will not treat Xu as a businessman." I am from a humble background, so I would like to entrust you with my full trust, and I would like to swear with a sincere heart that I will do my best to protect He Yin as long as I live, and I will not let down Lord Shen..."

Shen Tang also said emotionally: "Okay, okay, in this way, I can rest assured in Longwu County in the future!"

After a heart-to-heart talk, the relationship naturally improved a lot.

Shen Tang led Xu Jie to a place.

He Yin organized all the trivial matters in detail, including which officials could be used, which ones could be transferred, and which ones could be replaced. At this moment, Xu Jie truly understood what kind of He Yin Shen Tang had left behind.

A wealthy person...

Every household has two years' surplus of food...

The household registration has tripled or quadrupled in two years...

Heyin County!

If this situation continues, in at least one year, he will become a powerful presence that cannot be ignored among the four families, giving even Tianhai a headache. There is still a shortcoming in terms of military strength, but they have accumulated enough information...

Even if it is inconvenient to attack the other three families, they can still expand outwards... Of course, it is not ruled out that neighbors feel threatened and stabbed in the back. But no matter how you say it, such a good situation was given up like this. How generous and generous this is.

Shen Tang is still talking about this year's autumn harvest.

"Judging from the condition of the fields, this year should be a good harvest. I plan to collect the field tax and take away part of it. The rest will ensure the normal operation of the government office. Wen Zhu doesn't have to worry about this..."

Xu Jie sighed secretly.

"Everything can be decided by Mr. Shen."

Shen Tang smiled lightly: "That won't work. You are the governor of Heyin County in the future, and your permission must be obtained. Otherwise, it will be suspected of overstepping your authority, which will be harmful to your control of Heyin. You can't be so casual in the future... It’s easy to be underestimated.”

Xu Jie remained silent.

There is a long-lost illusion of being cared about by elders.

The Shen Jun in front of him was much smaller than him.

The two talked for a long time, and what they talked more about was He Yin's future development and arrangements. Shen Tang and a group of staff had clearly arranged every step that He Yin would take in the next ten years. Xu Jie only had to copy it. Do your homework and get high grades.

He listened carefully.

It wasn't until the servant came in to hold the lamp that he realized it was getting dark.

With the help of weak candlelight, Xu Jie looked at the free and easy young man who was shrouded in shadow and had just begun to take on the shape of an adult. An undercurrent surged in his heart, and he had all kinds of emotions: "It's a long way to Longwu, and we need to be protected by strong and brave warriors——"

"If Mr. Shen doesn't give up, I would like to recommend someone."
