I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.
Chapter 26: Incorporating Black Cloud Mountain
His attitude had already been made clear, and now it depended on what Prince Zhao and Ning Fei decided.
Jiang Yuan, sitting in the lobby, sighed slightly.
"Actually, I can't change their decision. I just hope they think I'm not a threat and let me go."
After complaining, Jiang Yuan immediately started thinking about another problem.
Li Hu was unable to handle the public security issues in Taiping County alone, and he had no money to pay salaries so he had to make do.
It’s different now, I have money!
In addition, there will be 10,000 taels of silver every month, which is enough for the county government to spend and become self-sufficient.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yuan finally turned his gaze towards the direction of Black Cloud Mountain.
Putting aside other things, Chen Qing and his group are perfect except for their problematic backgrounds.
They have strong execution capabilities and are uncompromising in their work. They are ruthless and decisive, and generally have good skills.
Such a person is absolutely suitable to be a constable.
"We can't delay it any longer. Let's just do it, even if the price is a little higher."
Jiang Yuan knew very well what Chen Qing was thinking. Since he sent Shi Ming to help, he was already willing to be recruited by him.
The reason why he didn't come directly here may be that he was waiting for a good price.
In that case, Jiang Yuan did as he wished.
Even though the current treatment is better, the people's hearts are still there. If Chen Qing is forced to surrender voluntarily, the people's hearts may not be there either.
"Shi Ming!" Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan no longer hesitated and shouted towards the door.
Shi Ming, carrying a long sword, trotted in and clasped his hands together like Li Hu: "Sir, I am here!"
Jiang Yuan curled his lips and said, "You are not my people at all, you bastard!"
"Prepare the car, we're going to Black Cloud Mountain!"
"Yes, sir!"
An hour later, on Black Cloud Mountain, led by several bandits, Jiang Yuan once again came to the room where Chen Qing had received him.
"I heard that the county magistrate is coming here to recruit us all!"
"What is incorporation?"
"I'm being asked to eat government food, and you don't understand this?"
The excited discussion of the bandits outside the door made Chen Qing and Jiang Yuan in the room laugh.
"Master Chen, Taiping County is still short of a captain of police, and the salary is ten taels of silver per month." Jiang Yuan looked straight at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing took a deep breath, but did not agree immediately. What about the two or three hundred bandits outside?
Jiang Yuan adjusted his official hat and continued, "Everyone will be assigned to constables, jailers, and so on, with a monthly salary of three taels of silver. The elders on the mountain can take on minor duties, with a monthly salary of seven taels of silver."
Chen Qing was stunned. Ten taels of silver, is that a lot? To him, it wasn't much.
But in a small border town like Taiping County, ten taels of silver is not a small amount. Ordinary people can only earn two or three taels of silver after working hard for a month.
The most important thing is that you can take the ten taels of silver with peace of mind, without having to worry about being surrounded on the mountain one day.
"Chen Qing is willing to lead more than 300 people from Black Cloud Mountain to swear allegiance to you until death!" Chen Qing clasped his hands together, and his excited voice revealed his extreme restlessness.
"Okay, you pack up in Heiyun Mountain and you can take up your post in Taiping County tomorrow!" Jiang Yuan stood up and walked to the door, refusing Chen Qing's intention to see him off.
Jiang Yuan is busy. He still has a lot of things to do. Now that he has the tea, he should roast it and sell it.
There is also Li Hu's Liuguang Movie Secrets, I have to find time to learn it as soon as possible.
In general, Jiang Yuan is very busy, very busy.
……
In the deep mountains and old forests, Ning Fei sat in a chair as usual, reading a military book.
Qingzhu was breaking up the tea cake and adding it to the boiling water.
"It's almost a month." Ning Fei looked at Qingzhu with a squint. Why isn't this guy in a hurry?
"Report! General, military advisor, a secret order has come from the imperial capital!" A startled shout interrupted the two people's leisurely time.
Ning Fei immediately became alert. The secret order from the imperial capital was most likely sent by his brother-in-law.
"What did the order say?"
The soldier who delivered the message was stunned, his eyes filled with fear.
This is a secret order. How can a little Karami of my level read it?
If you let me see it, I'll take a look and see that it's the Nine Clans Candy Crush.
Qingzhu glanced at Ning Fei helplessly: "Show it up."
"promise!"
Qingzhu reached out to take the secret order, carefully spread out the paper, and his expression immediately became solemn.
After a moment, Qingzhu put away the paper and sighed: "What trouble!"
"What does it mean? What does it say above?" Ning Fei asked impatiently.
Qingzhu handed the envelope to Ning Fei and motioned for him to read it himself.
A moment later, a solemn expression also appeared on Ning Fei's face.
There were not many words in the letter, just a few sentences.
Southern Liang is taking advantage of the instability of our Great Duan regime and has sent 300,000 troops north. Hurry to the border and lead the three armies to resist foreign enemies!
In addition, the letter also talked about some things about Prince Zhao.
"Military Advisor, when do we set off?" Ning Fei spoke immediately. Capturing the Prince of Zhao was a big deal, but compared to the problem of Southern Liang on the border, this matter was not too big.
Ning Fei certainly knows what is important.
Qingzhu looked hesitant for a moment. What he was thinking was much more complicated than Ning Fei's.
The border is in crisis. If they take their troops away at this time, Prince Zhao will make a call from a high place, and then there will be enemies both inside and outside. I am afraid that the Great Duan Dynasty will be the shortest-lived dynasty in history.
Qingzhu was just hesitating when a loud shout came from not far away. It was Zhao Kai and the other two who had returned.
But at this moment, Zhao Kai was leaning on a piece of wood with one hand, and it was obvious that one of his legs was injured.
"Zhao Kai, what's wrong with you?" Ning Fei frowned slightly.
Although the strength of Zhao Kai and the other two is not very strong, they are also real masters of the third level of the trapped dragon realm.
He is considered quite skilled in the imperial capital, and is considered a super master in a small place like Taiping County. Yet, there are still people who can injure him.
"General, we have encountered Ding Yin, the fourth assassin under Prince Zhao!" Zhao Kai said without blushing or beating his heart.
Wang Jue on the side immediately showed a look of contempt.
So shameless.
Ning Fei's eyes lit up: "Have they caught him? Is there any news about Prince Zhao?"
If we can get rid of Prince Zhao before leaving, then this trip will be considered a complete success.
Zhao Kai shook his head bitterly. "No, we were about to defeat Ding Yin, but a captain named Li Hu ambushed us under the pretext of trampling on houses and violating the law with force."
"But Ding Yin's goal is to assassinate Jiang Yuan."
Zhao Kai didn't want to say anything more after that, and the same went for Wang Jue and the others. After all, being thrown into jail was not a glorious thing.
Ning Fei frowned, not knowing what to do.
The trace of Prince Zhao had just appeared, but he was about to leave again.
Qingzhu waved her feather fan a few times and made a decision immediately: "General Ning, the border issue is more important. We should prioritize the border."
"As for Taiping County, whether Jiang Yuan is kept alive or killed is of no consequence."
"If we leave Jiang Yuan here, Prince Zhao will obviously continue to attack him. We can leave a few people behind to follow the clues."
"After killing Jiang Yuan, we can arrange for our own people to take charge of the affairs in Taiping County and continue the search for Prince Zhao. What should we do? General, please give the order."
Ning Fei lowered his head. The matter of Jiang Yuan was a small matter, but it concerned Prince Zhao, which made it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
