The night was deep, and the lights were still bright in the Zhai family owner's yard. The Zhai family father and son and several villagers around him represented Bi Lie.

"What Wang Jingluo said during the day, I am not convinced, what is the order of a county or a marquis of a hundred miles? Who is the countryside called a noble man? Naturally, he can be brave and capable. If he can write a ruling order and all the countrysides are surrendered, why should he fight for life in the past few years? What he said is nothing more than a deception and delay, and he is unwilling to help my family claim to be a rich man! In my opinion, it is simply unnecessary to summon someone to the house."

Zhai Hu spoke out angrily and rarely agreed with what Wang Meng said. What he knew from childhood was that those who are brave and powerful are superior, while those who are cowardly are inferior. Therefore, he just sneered at what Wang Meng said, and neither understood nor believed.

As soon as the man finished speaking, there were many echoes in the table. Some said that Wang Meng was procrastinating and procrastinating, the slightest words were not trustworthy, and some said that he defected to Tianzhong Xingtai was a wrong decision. The king's army had not arrived at the moment, so he would temporarily treat them. Once the army invaded Guanzhong, his fierce attitude would be exposed, and even forced the people from the countryside to move.

Most of the people who say these words are young people, but the real elderly do not speak much. They both reveal their distrust of the Taiwan Strait and their unoptimism about the future.

The old men in the table, including Zhai Ci, were still sitting and listening at first, but gradually, several of them had obvious disappointment on their faces.

"What Wang Jingluo said is not the case yet, but he can enter the unpredictable situation of enemies and friends with lonely people, live here with a weak group, and have a good idea of ​​courage. It's ridiculous that my elders in Guanzhong often boast about their heroic martial arts. They are all talented in the barn. They are trapped within the radius of this dock, but they cannot see the warmth of the world and the water rises and the tide is rising."

Zhai Ciju was sitting in the seat and pointed at his son and sighed. He had thought his son was both brave and powerful, but he was so beautiful in the countryside. However, after having contact with Wang Meng, he realized what those real young wise men looked like outside the countryside.

The general Shen in the sky was famous for their hometowns. The two generals and leaders in front of Hongwu Army were both young and strong. Even a mere county magistrate assigned by Xingtai showed a far superior style than the children in their hometowns!

Although Guanzhong has been in turmoil for many years, it is good for these men to be vigilant. However, in the eyes of the elderly such as Zhai Ci, the prudence shown by these young people is too much, and can even be called timid, fearing contact with the outside world, and fearing what changes will happen in the countryside.

The older generation has worked hard to protect the family business. They build docks and guard the country. When the thief is in great danger, they will inevitably be in vain and pretend to be in harmony, or they may be hard to be heroic. However, over the years, they have finally been the place where the whole world is prosperous and prosperous.

Unfortunately, these young people were born in a turbulent world since childhood, wrapped in high walls, not knowing how vast the world is, not knowing how big the world is, not knowing how big the world is, not knowing how strong the world is, but having short-sighted vision, and are no longer enough to plan.

Now it is a fact that the King of Jin Zuo's army is powerful. Originally, the powerful people in Guanzhong were beaten to retreat step by step. The powerful people with many people based on Sanfu were all huddled. They discussed whether the business was credible. What's the point of even a sure outcome?

After entering the country, General Xiao of the Hongwu Army rushed straight to Jingzhao Jiao County and captured several dock walls one after another. Even if they were sure to be ill-intentioned to them, could they resist it even if they foresee in advance? A group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and when the butcher would fall into a knife, and if they were accurate, could they save their lives?

When the Hongwu Army first entered the territory, Zhai Ci planned to surrender and influence the most, the young people opposed the most. They all fought red in their faces and pouted their arms to ensure that if the Jin army really attacked, they would vow to save their hometown even if they died.

Zhai Ci also has this kind of enlightenment, and he also understands more about life and death. It is simple to seek death, but it is not easy to survive. In previous years, when the countryside was in a difficult situation, if he did not adapt to it, these men might not have grown up, and there would be no chance of making such crazy voices.

To be honest, Zhai Ci himself did not believe in the majesty of the king's decree and laws. After all, Wang Meng had no choice but to rely on his power. If Wang Meng did not represent Xingtai, there was another brigade of Kings stationed near him to support him. His life could not be preserved, so why would he talk about anything else?

Zhai Ci could not fully understand the majesty of the king's orders, but he could realize one thing, that is, Wang Jingluo must have hoped to achieve what intentions through him, so he repeatedly made high-profile persuasions. Just as he hoped to instigate the Hongwu army to list the Qiu You family as the target of attack and killing, so that his family could dominate the countryside.

It is not important to be trustworthy or not. It is a huge man with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a vast territory and thousands of miles of land. Their attitude toward Xingtai here is no different from discussing the will of heaven. Not to mention Xingtai, they cannot even influence the Hongwu Army near the border.

What is really worth savoring is Wang Meng's attitude. As he said, these few thousand village songs are not in the eyes of General Shen in the sky. Wang Meng is the one who really values ​​them. No matter what his intention is, as long as he still wants to rely on their village disciples to accomplish things, he will definitely do his best to protect them before achieving the goal and prevent them from being listed as the target of cleaning by the Hongwu Army.

Therefore, since Wang Meng entered the country, whether it was his previous humiliation or his neglect after being put into the dock, it was all a personal test against Wang Meng. Including the mention of attacking the You family during the day, he also hoped to use this to test how much influence the person had on the Hongwu Army. However, he did not expect that Wang Meng made some remarks that made them suspicious.

"No matter whether Wang Jingluo is credible or not, the bravery of the King of the Hongwu Army is beyond doubt. Although King Liu of Dali City has many people, he actually allowed General Xiao to pass through the border safely and did not dare to attack. Once the blade pointed to the countryside, it was far from a rival to our fellow villagers. No matter who is the main person in Guanzhong in the future, it is really not advisable to have a feud at present."

Speaking of this, Zhai Ci suddenly sighed: "As for the restructuring of the county seat, Wang Jingluo said, he will have the power to do it before his evil thoughts are revealed. The great disaster in the countryside is nothing more than the pressure from the army and killing. He is a mere person with little power. Even if he is a person with little harm, he is limited. He has no money and food, and his manpower is barren. How much can he take me? If he is really greedy and cruel, he is just like a thief, and he will not be too late to fight for his life!"

"As for you, no matter how much you think of him, I should not show disgust. Ask questions and ask questions. If you can improve, you will benefit each other. You can really see through his sinister hearts and praise the evil achievements of the police guarding the village!"

In the end, Zhai Ci looked at Zhai Hu and other young people and exclaimed sternly.

Although the young people still feel resentful, they dare not disobey their elders' wishes in person and can only bow to the training.

In short, regardless of the actual intention, Zhai Ci, as the magistrate of the Xiaji County, finally expressed his support for the actual creation of the county seat. Of course, this support is only reflected in verbal statements, and the implementation in reality is minimal.

Wang Meng didn't care about this and still put forward his own ideas step by step.

After years of war, Xiabi County has long disappeared. The first thing to do is naturally to choose a county office. There is no choice about this. Zhai Ci rarely waved his hand generously to define a area outside the dock wall as the county office.

Until now, he still only regards this as a joke. It is not easy to re-establish the order of the countryside for many years.

However, after being ordered, Wang Meng attached great importance to it and simply moved directly to the so-called county office. The so-called county office was just a few misaligned courtyards, and Zhai Ci did not even allocate manpower to repair it.

Without the service power, Wang Meng took action himself and spent a few days to build a fence to ban the county office, and the people in Minggaowu wall should not enter and exit at will. However, on the first day of the announcement of the rules, more than a dozen people broke the ban, and even naughty children directly penetrated the gaps in the fence, running inside and even drowning, and laughing inside and outside.

Wang Meng did not drive away this, but copied all those who violated the ban and submitted them to Zhai Ci to report: "The law was completed and the rules were implemented. Household slaves violated the ban, public punishment or private law, please respectfully ask the Ming Mansion to save himself."

Zhai Cichu didn't care about fashion, but when she saw Wang Meng's serious expression, she felt a little ashamed: "The villagers are vulgar and despicable, and they have been casual for a long time, which makes Jing Lei laugh. I will send someone to scold him later, so that these evil embryos will not be allowed to do this again."

"I have been like this for a long time since the docking period, and I suddenly gave this order. For a moment, how could the villagers follow the order without any contradiction? Besides, the so-called administration is originally my own yard..."

Zhai Hu was a little dissatisfied by the side. Today, the villagers went to make trouble, and his agitation was also deliberately provoking.

"Mr. Shang established wood as trust, and the punishment and reward were built at a small end. The Qin Emperor's hegemony was completed. The Ming Mansion was used for a hundred miles, and the family slaves were still not treated. How could he punish the herdsmen? "

Wang Meng replied seriously.

Zhai Hu was still waiting to speak, but he saw that the grandfather was already looking at him and could only keep silent.

"Although I am respectfully appointed by the county, I have lived in the humble countryside and have little knowledge of the rituals. I have to rely more on the scenery here."

Zhai Ci said with a smile again. Seeing Wang Meng's actions, he felt that it was not meaningless. Although he had the right authority in the dock, he often did not blame the villagers too harshly. If Wang Meng came forward to establish some rules for others to follow, it would be a benefit.

Wang Meng stood up again and bowed and said, "I am accomplice to the Ming Dynasty. I am a servant of the Ming Dynasty and I dare not resign. Although the administration is a prescribed, there is still a shortage of officials. At present, only the Ming Dynasty is a low-level position. There are only the county magistrates, merits, households, and resignations, etc., and other officials..."

Wang Meng compared the local official system in Taiwan to introduce the ration of officials in a county office and his respective duties. After hearing these introductions, Zhai Ci and his son couldn't help but prick up their ears and signaled Wang Meng to explain in detail. The names of these subordinates were clearly divided, which was of great reference significance for their own management of the dock wall.

However, Zhai Ci was also a little more sensitive: "There are many officials in Jingluo, so do they also need to be appointed to the Taiwan office?"

"The only ones who are appointed by the Taiwan Strait are the three orders, the chief and the lieutenant. The rest of the people belong to the Ming Dynasty must choose their own local geniuses to be appointed. In addition to the official salary, there will be a salary for the county officials to farm and eat, and provide them with the officials..."

Zhai Ci didn't care much about his salary and land. There were many deserted fields in the village, and most of the time, there were no people to farm or safety was not guaranteed and he dared not farm. However, he was relieved to hear that these subordinates could be hired by him. He did not want to hold a county magistrate's reputation and let too many outsiders enter his house wall.

"Anyone in the wilderness can be appointed as a subordinate? Can anyone in other docks?"

Zhai Hu was also moved when he heard this. First of all, he thought that if he could summon other township Zhongwu wall owners to the office as officials, wouldn’t it be that they would indirectly enslave other townships and village songs? This idea was really ridiculous, but he had seen this. If his grandfather had not served as a county magistrate, he would not even know that the countryside still needed such a title.

"This is a matter of concern that Mingfu needs to make a self-detective discussion. If the use of it is not a human being, and the residence is not a man, it will only be a waste of affairs."

Wang Meng still explained patiently.

Zhai Ci was very interested at this moment. He didn't care much about the county seat, but if he could use this to sort out the affairs in the dock wall and make the division of labor clear, it would be quite appropriate.

So taking advantage of this excitement, he asked about the names of these officials in detail. He immediately picked up his pen to sign the appointment, and accepted the orders of more than a dozen officials in one go. He stopped and summoned those appointed, and asked Wang Meng to explain their respective responsibilities to them.

Wang Meng did not despise this straw troupe. After detailed introduction, he said seriously: "Since you have obtained the body of an official, you should not be lazy and useless. You can go to the office day and night to listen to it. It is fundamental to each of you who do your own responsibilities. If there are any omissions, there will be punishment!"

Those people were originally managers in the dock wall, and they didn't feel anything about it when they were assigned to another official account. Instead, they were very complacent because of the appointment of the official. However, when they heard that Wang Meng, an outsider, threatened them, they immediately felt a little dissatisfied and responded to them with anger.

"Stop it all! Wang Cheng is a rare young master in heaven. General Shen in heaven is so good at helping the countryside. Even I have to set up a ceremonial ceremony. How dare you wait for the poor man in the countryside? He is the commander of his position and I will govern the county. Wang Cheng is my good assistant. In the future, his orders will be as I said. Since you have already been appointed as an official, you will be punished if you dare to violate the ban!"

Zhai Ci pulled his face at the lieutenant general and said angrily. Seeing this, the others quickly stopped the sound, just like Wang Meng, bowing his hand and calling him Mingfu.

After the appointment of the officials was completed, Wang Meng mentioned the civil affairs again. Now the county officials are roughly prepared, but there is no citizen in the county to manage, which is really ridiculous.

Although Zhai Ci was enthusiastic about appointing officials, his attitude became subtle when he talked about this. To record the household registration in the book is equivalent to clearly exposing his family business to others. How could he be unprepared for this?

"After the county office was established, it was a matter of recruiting and raising food and reclaiming land and land. This is a long-term contribution, so there is no need to be too hasty. In addition, surveying the area and demarcating the soil, all of these matters need to be calmly distributed."

Zhai Ci was unwilling to add his concubine to his family, so Wang Meng did not force him to do so, but proposed another plan.

When Zhai Ci heard this, his eyes lit up. In fact, there are many refugees in the countryside. Although these dock owners cherish their families, they all formed party members and lived in symbiosis for many years. They are actually not willing to accept the refugees who are wandering in the wild. Maybe there are some evildoers hidden inside. If they summon in large quantities, they will cause trouble in their homes.

But now he can recruit these people through the county office and control them, which is like increasing his own strength. Therefore, Zhai Ci is really enthusiastic about this and asked in detail, especially if the county boundaries were identified and the citizens were reorganized, would the Hongwu army come forward to retreat to the enemy?

When he received Wang Meng's affirmative answer, Zhai Ci was even more excited and directly decided to ask his son Zhai Hu to lead the Xiangqu to organize a search team to recruit refugees in the countryside. He originally had an optional attitude towards this so-called county magistrate, but now he really attaches importance to it. He even feels that Wang Meng's previous statement that it is true that it is true that it is true that Wang Meng needs to use it as a wise man.

Although Zhai Ci is still cautious about Wang Meng's intentions, at least so far, he has really not found that these measures have harmed him. On the contrary, if he executes it well, the power he can master can be several times higher.

Not only Zhai Ci began to care about the county office, but even Zhai Hu, who was always dissatisfied with Wang Meng, was there to ask whether he could serve as the county lieutenant?

However, Wang Meng's answer was not available. Zhai Ci had decided to appoint the owner of Zhang's wall near the side of Zhang's house, his relative, Zhang Tao, as the Xiazhi County Magistrate. Although the two families were friendly, they had little master-submission relationship and still operated their own business. If the status of the two can be established through the county office, even if it is just nominal, it will have a lot of significance.

With Zhai Ci's strong support, the construction of the entire Xiaqie County Office was in full swing. The first was the implementation of the ban. Zhai Ci even personally hung up his grandson who led the naughty boy into the county office to urinate and play, and beat dozens of times in it. The bloody bamboo stick was also daunting.

As various affairs unfolded, Wang Meng's iron-fisted methods gradually established his reputation in the wall wall. Because Zhai Ci also had to care about homesickness, many evil people wanted Wang Meng to act as the one, and Wang Meng refused to do his best to do his best. In just a few days, his reputation gradually surpassed Zhai Ci, the owner of the wall wall.

The implementation of such a tough rule was immediate, and the appearance of the entire wall wall was soon greatly improved. In the past, it was entirely due to the affairs of the Zhai father and son, and now the division of labor was clear and the rewards and punishments were severe, which made the entire wall wall orders and all matters greatly increased efficiency.

"The beauty of the composition is so good! Wang Lang is so talented that he can be a good assistant to the king in time. How can I be lucky to be able to control such virtuous people!"

Feeling the benefits of order, Zhai Ci also gave Wang Meng a double courtesy. He always praised him, and what satisfied him even more was that no matter how much praise Wang Meng received, he always abides by etiquette and always put his position in the right place without overstepping. In his opinion, this was even more satisfactory. Looking at his family members who still had difficulty changing their bad habits, they were even more dissatisfied.

The change in the atmosphere in the dock wall is still a trivial matter, and what makes Zhai Ci even more happy is that the materials previously escorted to the Hongwu Army camp by Xiao Yuandong were finally sent to the county. And followed by a battalion of 300 Hongwu Army soldiers and more than 700 soldiers.

At this moment, no matter how cautious Zhai Ci was, he was no longer dissatisfied with Wang Meng. This was simply the kind of help given to him by God! Choosing to surrender to Xingtai became his most correct choice in his life. If he continued to develop according to this trend, he would not even need to seek help from the Hongwu Army. With the power he had, he could eradicate the hatred of his country and dominate the countryside in one fell swoop.

Not to mention Zhai Ci's dream of dominating the countryside, all this is just a starting point for Wang Meng, and his requirements for himself are not just about managing a mere dock wall!
