I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"Master, don't look anymore. They've all gone far away."

Wang Gang's honest voice sounded in Jiang Yuan's ears.

Jiang Yuan then revealed an expression of disbelief. He really left? Are you kidding me?

My life was saved and I even got a position as a county magistrate? Why does it feel like a dream?

Could it be that Qingzhu was pleased with my flattery?

Well, that's definitely the case, absolutely.

Jiang Yuan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the three thousand dragon guards completely disappeared from his sight.

Well, my life is saved for now.

After expressing his feelings, Jiang Yuan sighed as he looked at the scene of collapsed houses around him.

The entire Taiping County was basically destroyed due to the fighting between the two armies, and the wood and stones were carried to the top of the city wall by Prince Zhao as weapons.

All that was left of the good house were broken bricks and tiles.

Everything needs to be rebuilt by ourselves, which is too difficult.

"System, are you really not here?" Jiang Yuan asked in a low voice, still unwilling to give up.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan walked into the court with his face covered.

The dream of living a life of ease and prosperity relying on the system has been shattered. The cruel reality is so bleak and tiring!

Rebuilding a county town is a huge undertaking.

The beggar emperor starts with a bowl, but I don’t even have a bowl when I start, and I still have to find a way to feed the people in this county. What’s going on?

Forget it, forget it. A tall building starts from the ground, and you can only rely on yourself to achieve glory.

Entering the court, Jiang Yuan sat in the main seat with dignity, and the three people behind him also found seats and sat down.

Wang Gang, who was rubbing his stomach because he was not full, Li Hu, who had a broken hand, and Ma Zhi, who looked relieved because he had saved his life, but actually had a wretched expression.

The more Jiang Yuan looked at it, the more his ambitions faded.

This starting configuration is too low, totally weak and disabled!

"Li Hu!" Jiang Yuan, who had calmed down, finally spoke with a serious face.

Li Hu immediately stood up and bowed with one hand: "Sir, I am here."

"How many detectives do you have? Gather them quickly." Jiang Yuan's voice was filled with an urgent tone.

The entire Taiping County has a small population to begin with. If everyone runs away after such a battle, he will still be of little use as a county magistrate.

Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan hesitantly and said, "Sir, you forgot that we can't afford the salary. I have no one under my command."

Look, is this human language?

How can a county, as a whole, not be able to pay the salaries of its constables?

Jiang Yuan bared his teeth and looked at Ma Zhi.

This guy is the chief accountant and should know something about finance.

"Sir, don't look at me. I don't have any money on my face. Taxes haven't been collected for several years. Our county is really that poor."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache. As the saying goes, money makes the devil push the mill, but without money, you are the devil pushing the mill.

If you can’t even pay your salaries, who can you expect to do things for you?

The cruel reality completely discouraged Jiang Yuan, who had originally wanted to achieve great things.

After struggling for a long time, Jiang Yuan looked at Ma Zhi again: "Is there any grain left in our county granary?"

When he heard this, Ma Zhi suddenly woke up and slapped his thigh: "It's ruined! We shouldn't have let them go. Now we don't even have dry biscuits to eat."

"Hahaha! Damn, haha."

Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair.

Without money and food, let alone rebuilding Taiping County, I might even starve to death here.

Li Hu suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, I know a place with food and money."

"Speak!" Jiang Yuan immediately sat up straight. If not for others, he had to consider his own stomach.

"Forty miles east of the county seat, there's Black Cloud Mountain. There's a group of bandits on the mountain. They've been wreaking havoc in this area for years, occupying key transportation routes. Several surrounding counties have suffered greatly from their actions."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuan quickly interrupted Li Hu and looked at him with suspicion.

"You mean, we send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Jiang Yuan's words were quite unconfident. He only had a few cats and dogs under his command. Let alone suppressing the bandits, he would be lucky if he was not suppressed by the bandits.

Li Hu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he slowly drew out the big knife from his waist with a serious face.

In an instant, Li Hu seemed like a different person, his long hair moved without wind, and he exuded an aura of being the only one around him.

He seemed to be silently telling Jiang Yuan, what is a master? What is a master? This is it!

Jiang Yuan's heart was inexplicably burning with excitement. Which man doesn't have a martial arts dream?

Kill one person every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles, and leave afterward, hiding your achievements and fame.

Although he didn't do it directly, Li Hu was his subordinate, so if we round it off, wouldn't it be him who did it?

"Li Hu, do you mean that you can beat them all by yourself?" Jiang Yuan slammed the table and shouted.

Li Hu shook his head seriously: "No, sir, I mean."

"I have practiced martial arts for many years. With this big sword in my hand, I can definitely become a small leader in Black Cloud Mountain. Then I can take you up the mountain."

The raging fire in his heart was directly crushed by the mudslide, and the expression on his face gradually froze. Jiang Yuan silently put away his hands that were clapping on the table, thinking it was a waste of energy.

This is really a frog tattoo on a tadpole, you are showing off!

"At least I can fill my stomach after I go in."

Seeing Jiang Yuan silent, Li Hu quickly added.

Wang Gang, who was in the audience, looked at Jiang Yuan and quickly walked over. He took out half a dry biscuit from his arms and grinned, "Master, are you hungry? Come and eat it. I secretly hid it this morning!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang with complicated eyes. Half a pancake could fill Jiang Yuan's stomach, but it could not feed hundreds of people in Taiping County.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yuan stood up from his chair and walked a few steps to the center of the lobby.

"Sir, what do you want to do?" Ma Zhi asked immediately.

Jiang Yuan clasped his hands behind his back and slowly raised his head to look forward: "Let's go, head east!"

Ma Zhi scratched his head and carefully reminded Jiang Yuan: "Sir, your direction is south..."

Jiang Yuan glanced at Ma Zhi indifferently. With these guys who were trying to sabotage each other and were unreliable, it was impossible for him to pretend to be cool.

But the temperament has been displayed, there is no reason to take it back halfway.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were indifferent as he slowly uttered a few words: "This is not important."

"Li Hu."

"The subordinate is here!"

"Wang Gang."

"Master, I'm here."

Jiang Yuan nodded gently, straightened his official hat, and said, "Follow me to Black Cloud Mountain."

"Ma Zhi, you stay here, gather the people in the city and tell them that I will make sure they have rice porridge tomorrow morning!"

After saying this, Jiang Yuan strode out of the courtroom, and Li Hu and Wang Gang hurriedly followed.

Inside the room, Ma Zhi looked at the departing figures with a look of suspicion on his face.

"What's the stimulus? Why are people so stupid?"

An hour later, Jiang Yuan, who was walking on the mountain road, complained bitterly. The original owner's health was too poor!

After walking a few miles, blisters appeared on the soles of my feet.

"Sure enough, is this the terrible price of pretending to be cool?" Jiang Yuan grinned.

"They say when God bestows a great mission upon a person, he must first uninstall PUBG, block Pornographic Site, delete his WeChat, remove his TikTok, and cut off his Wi-Fi."

"The point is, I don't need to talk about this anymore. I don't even have enough food to eat. Where is this big responsibility?"
