Zhu Da nodded solemnly to agree to this statement. Qin Chuan sighed and stood up and said, "Follow me to meet the Wang Hu brothers. They will go to the distance. No matter whether they have other intentions or not, we can treat it sincerely and not let them down and the hearts of later generations."

It is indeed necessary to visit and receive Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, but Zhu Da and Qin Chuan both knew that this was a change of topic and got rid of the awkward atmosphere in the house.

Among the people who came into the city from the farm outside the city, some servants and refugees went to various places to resettle. The young soldiers who followed the city were not allowed to go home and were dispersed everywhere. The young soldiers who were on the rotation to return to the city were also called out from home and were dependents with the servants. The young soldiers who were called out were already used to Zhu Da's dispatch. On the contrary, their families were a little dissatisfied and thought that their nephews were working for the yamen. You, Zhu Da, were called out like a slave. What is this? But the dissatisfaction is just dissatisfaction. Everyone also knows who is in charge of the family inside and outside the city.

In addition to the rotating servants who were arranged to live in the Qin family's house, the Wang brothers were the ones. They came to join us, but they had not yet determined their status and treated them as guests. In addition, it was Sun Wu. Everyone felt that Zhu Da had a "different view of Sun Wu".

"We...we are brothers from the country to join us just to find a place to eat and rest. We ask Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhu to make arrangements. Such a treat for guests is really a shame..."

"...... Thanks to the master's high opinion, my brothers are used to riding horses and getting knives. I have been very angry when I work in the mansion over the years. I just want to arrange my subordinates to Master Zhu's side..."

Qin Chuan and Zhu Da went to see Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, who originally wanted to treat him with the manners of guests, but Wang Hu was polite and admitted that his subordinates were unwilling to be equal and equal. He said his words very clearly that he wanted to go to Zhu Da to do things. Although they regarded themselves as subordinates, they had the friendship of escorting back and the intentions of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Qin Chuan and Zhu Da would respect their choices.

"I wonder how good you are in the guise of the two?" Zhu Da asked suddenly.

"Dissatisfied with Mr. Zhu's saying that these military businessmen do not know anything about their subordinates. Although they are not considered a top-notch, they are better than ordinary methods." Wang Hu had a proud look on his face when he answered. Zhu Da asked abruptly, and their answers were not very tactful.

Zhu Da smiled and bowed and said, "Since you have such skills, wouldn't it be a delay to be a slave? If you don't dislike me, how about being a coach on Zhu's side, teach Zhu and everyone's martial arts skills."

Hearing these words, Wang Hu and Wang Xiong looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. The previous interruption made them feel that Zhu Da was still a rude boy, but these words arranged and took care of everything, allowing them to stay with decent and long-term. It was amazing to have such a decent idea at this age.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong agreed simply and everyone was happy. Qin Chuan did not put on any airs and wanted to entertain him. However, the county sent people to invite him, saying that it was to discuss the preparations for the frontier beacon. Such relief and disaster preparation involved the major affairs of the people's strength in the county, and they always needed the participation of gentry to implement it. Qin Chuan did not act as an airs on this. After being polite with the Wang brothers, he went to the county government. Zhu Da also had too many things to arrange, so he called Li He to receive Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, and also took the people to go there.

After finding a room for the Wang brothers and politely said that he had any need to call him at any time, Li He also went to work hard and moved the whole farm into the city. As a role like the main manager or the second manager of the farm, he was so busy that he was not touched.

Before the door of the house was closed, Wang Hu and Wang Xiong packed their luggage in an orderly manner. When the door of the house was closed, they stopped. Wang Hu looked at Wang Xiong. They said they were brothers of different surnames, but they were actually the order of children born in the family. Of course, there was no reason to look like them. Wang Hu was more in line with the definition of "martial husband" by people at that time. They were rough, tall, strong, and powerful, while Wang Xiong was strong and capable. At first glance, it was nothing surprising. Only by looking closely could you find the power contained in the thin body.

"Don't look at me. I've been here for less than a day and I can't tell the difference. Qin Juren seems to be a good person, and Zhu Da seems to be in his thirties or forties. He is not so old and will not think so clearly..." When Wang Xiong said this, he shook his head and sighed, and said to Wang Hu in a muffled voice: "Brothers, don't worry so much. He said that he gave the Wang family more roads, but he was thrown out. It's not bad to have a place to live here for retirement. Although it's the first time I met, Qin Juren and Zhu Da looked like they were cold."

"The elder brother is kind to us brothers."

"That's the boss!"

More and more people rushed to the city to take refuge, and the county and city became more and more chaotic. There were not many people who could join relatives, nor so many dilapidated temples and abandoned houses for people to temporarily live in. In the snow and ice, they could only ask people to take in houses.

Seeing that the situation became increasingly tense, the three-squad-in-law of the Yamen and the white servants were mobilized, and the young and strong in the county were also organized into teams to be ready to deal with the chaotic situation at any time, and at least to protect the safety of residents in the county. Only at this time, the county town can be said to be "one of the government and the people".

During lunch, Chang Kai came to see Zhu Da and brought a message from Juren Qin, saying that if there was really something in the city, Zhu Da should not be stopped.

But the tense situation changed when the sun was west, and the wars in the northern sky that had been closely watched dissipated, which made everyone feel relieved.

Although there has been peace and disaster for more than ten years, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Datong has had a hundred years of experience in observing the beacon smoke. It was lit yesterday and was extinguished today. It seems that a small group of tribes retreated after failing to attack the border without success, or the garrison on the border walls is like a frightened bird, and there is nothing to ignite the beacon fire. Since there is nothing to do, it will be extinguished.

Since it was a false alarm, there was no need for everyone to stay in the city. Although the house was ragged, there were still a lot of bottles and jars. The accumulated savings from winter were not brought to the city at all. Now you have to hurry up and go back. If you go back late, you may be stolen by thieves or neighbors.

I found that the county town where the war was extinguished was in chaos again. But just now everyone was trying to settle down and shelter, but now they wanted to hurry back. Many people cursed, scolded the damn Tartars, and scolded the damn border troops, causing everyone to be false alarms. Some people married their daughters cheaply, and some young men took the initiative to be sons-in-law for others. They thought they would stay in the city for a long time, but who would have thought that changes would happen so quickly, and they would have to rebel and go crazy.

The servants and refugees all followed Zhu Da's order, but the farmers in the farm were not so conscious. Seeing everyone going back in a noisy way, they also wanted to follow.

"Everyone in the village must be in the city and can go back and move the unmoved family into the city." Zhu Da's order is very simple. The merchants are all Zhu Da's tenants in legal terms. In fact, everyone regards them as Zhu Da's private property. There are orders and complaints, and no one dares not to ignore them.

"Even if we misreport, we can't leave the city. Although the Tartars did not come this time, it's so cold now, and snowfalls come one after another. The Tartars will come if they don't come for a while. We can't bet on this lucky thing. We can practice even if we have a place in the city, and winter will not delay farming. There is nothing we can't stay."

Zhu Da's explanation was acceptable to everyone. After the large group of people entered the city, the convoy and the young man went back to transport it several times. The grain, jars and jars in the village were transported into the city, and even firewood, hay and other things were not left behind. Everyone had no worries, but the threat of the Tartars' invasion and looting was real. Staying in the city and under the protection of the city walls was indeed the safest choice.

There are many vacant houses in the county town, and there will be no impact on Zhu Da’s hundreds of people coming in. After the people who took refuge in various places returned to their hometowns, the order in Huairen County quickly returned to normal.

However, on the third day after Zhu Da entered the city, he felt a difference in the county. First, three squads were in the city, and they visited and inquired from house to house. At first, it was a mess. Everyone thought that this group of people ignored the relationship between the villagers and neighbors and wanted to plunder and extort the whole city. When they explained that the yamen had to know how strong each family was, everyone was vigilant and nervous again, thinking whether they would impose a capitation tax or something.

After being treated like this, the officials also pulled away their expressions of gentleness that they had barely pretended to be, and showed their usual domineering behavior. Instead, everyone could not accept the claim.

"You don't know how many people are in your family? Do you want me to tell you?"

"It's useful to play this trick. If you don't say it, Ermazi, who has a grudge against you, can still speak without saying anything..."

The city is different from outside the city. The yamen is in the city, and the three ranks and six ranks of officials and servants are also in the city. They often do not bully the residents in the city too ruthlessly. They are not talking about their neighbors because they are relatives. Even if they have nothing to do, what should I do if I really make enemies and set fire in the middle of the night? So the people in the city are still a little brave enough to contradict them.

After realizing that this investigation was not for plunder, everyone reluctantly cooperated to do it. This time, it was a bit strange to the past. The first few squads of three were followed by the sixth room clerk, holding pens and ink books and recording at any time, which was a big battle.

"Don't think it's a big deal, don't think it's troublesome. The Tartars broke into the middle of the year and our county suffered a great disaster. Any preparations in advance would not be so miserable. The winter was so cold and there were so many snowfalls. The Tartars could not survive on the grassland and would definitely go south to invade the border. There was a great disaster during the Chinese New Year, can we still expect the border troops to defend it? If we don't make any preparations ourselves, it will be too late to cry at that time." Qin Juren talked happily in the county yamen hall.
