Chapter 584 This fire is really strange, isn't it?
Chapter 584
If you want to increase your wealth, you must first have a population and have enough population to produce various commodities. However, there are only more than 30,000 people in the surrounding state, even a clever woman cannot cook without rice.
As for the magistrate Song, although he came three months earlier than Wang Yang, he had just arrived at office and encountered the Western Xia Liang Prime Minister attacking Suide City, which made the courageous magistrate Song Tong was shocked three times a day.
I don’t know if it was scared or timid. I had been sick for more than a month before I recovered from health. However, it was already during the war. So after hearing that Xixia was going to target Huanzhou, the urgent documents written to Mr. Zhang were almost once a day.
It was not until Mr. Zhang was scolded that this guy was calmer. Seeing this thin and somewhat nervous Song Dechang, and Le Yong, who was fat and big-headed and laughed calmly like a rich man in the countryside, gave Wang Yang the feeling that Le Yong seemed to be the owner of this land.
However, when Song Dechang wanted to speak but stopped, Le Yong closed his mouth tactfully, showed a flattering smile, and looked as if he was waiting for the boss to speak.
"Sir, wars are so frequent now that it is already late winter. Many people have been destroyed by the Xixia bandit army because of the war, and they have no food and clothing.
Now, although you have used the prisoners of war to repair and shelter the people from the wind and rain, the rice and grain in the county treasury of Tongyuan County is already insufficient, and the junior official is about to transfer it from the state treasury. I wonder what you think?”
"Of course there is no problem. In addition, there is no problem with the food and accommodation of the people whose homes have been destroyed now?" Wang Yang's eyes fell on the magistrate of Nale County.
The Le County Magistrate nodded heavily. "Don't worry, there is no problem in this regard. The destroyed people outside Huanzhou City are now living in Huanzhou City. Since this county magistrate of Tongyuan County, we should let the people of Tongyuan County spend this cold winter safely..."
"Maybe the lord doesn't know yet, and the magistrate Le even vacated half of his house to live for those homeless and lonely people who have no relatives." Song Dechang also stood up and praised the magistrate Le.
"I didn't expect that the magistrate of Le County is so diligent and loving to the people. This forced Wang to look at him with admiration..." Wang Yang couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly at the magistrate of Le County.
"These are just the responsibilities of the lower officials. The people of Huanzhou are too hard. As long as they can help them, the lower officials will naturally do their best."
Wang Yang nodded with relief. "You two adults don't have to worry too much. Now that Xixia is newly defeated, it has suffered a lot of losses, so it will be safe for several years. And we are surrounded by the state, with a vast land and a sparse population and a hundred industries are withering. We should indeed find some ways to attract some people. Otherwise, the vast territory will be so big that it is only more than 30,000 people."
"Thank you, sir, for your compassion..." Song Dechang, Jianzhou, bowed to Wang Yang with gratitude. "A magistrate, can't just receive the salary from the court without doing anything."
Wang Yang looked at the books on the desk and asked, "Why does this official always feel a strong smell of fireworks in this county government?"
"Sir, this is a strange official. When Huanzhou was garrisoning, Xixia's fine works lurked in Huanzhou City in advance. When the Xixia people attacked very tightly, they wanted to set fire in the city. Fortunately, my soldiers of the Song Dynasty were brave and checked in time. In addition, Lord Song led the village heroes to hunt and kill everywhere in time, and finally did not make the Huanzhou City chaos.
However, the county government still burned several rooms. Fortunately, they found out in time and killed all the three detailed works..."
"Oh..." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows, looked at the two subordinate officials with sincere expressions, and nodded slightly. "Why don't you know if there are casualties in this county yamen?"
"The two officers were injured. They were injured to fight against the three fierce Xixias." Le Yong explained.
"How did those three fierce Xixia masterpieces enter this county yamen?" Wang Yang lost his initial impatientness, but sat leisurely on the main seat, sipped tea, and continued to ask slowly.
"Sir, before the Battle of Huanzhou, the officials sent a service to investigate secretly in Huanzhou City. They learned that these three people were actually made by Xixia and pretended to be vendors, and had been hiding in the county for several months..." The Le County Magistrate explained with a very serious look.
"After that, the county ordered the three of them to be taken away, but these three were extremely stubborn and refused to admit it. Therefore, they were detained until now. Unexpectedly, when Huanzhou City was besieged by the Xixia bandits, they took the opportunity to escape, intending to set fire to the county government to cause chaos in the city..."
Listening to the magistrate of Le County, Wu Qilang and Ling Zong were so angry that they cursed behind Wang Yang.
"By the way, in the battle of Huanzhou City, how many riots occurred in the city, or how many Xixia tricks were causing trouble in the city?" Wang Yang asked curiously while taking the nale County Magistrate to drink water.
"There were thirty-seven incidents, and a total of 123 Xixia masterpieces were in chaos in the city. Some were killed by the soldiers guarding the city, and a considerable number were killed by our Huanzhou Township Warriors and the officers." Song Dechang replied without hesitation.
"It seems that Xixia has quite a lot of fine works, but how did they enter Huanzhou City?" Wang Yang smashed his mouth and said.
"Most of them pretend to be merchants, and some of them pretend to be hunters who come to sell dried fur."
"So that's it." Wang Yang nodded, narrowed his eyes and thoughtful, while Song Dechang and the magistrate of Le County were sitting aside, staring at Wang Yang with a gaze.
"Let's go, take me to your county government and take a look at the place where the fire was burned..." Wang Yang stood up and smiled.
#####
It can be clearly seen that the house, which was pointed out by the Le County Magistrate, had been burned into ruins, but the surrounding buildings did not suffer much loss.
"Sir Le, where is the county prison?" Wang Yang looked at the uncleared ruins and asked Le Yong.
"Sir, it's in that direction." Le Yong quickly pointed in another direction.
Wang Yang looked over there, turned his head again, his eyes fell on the ruins, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly. "Mr. Song, what do you think..."
Song Dechang looked at Wang Yang in a daze. "What are you looking at?"
Wang Yang also turned his face away and looked at Song Dechang with a daze, thinking that this guy is missing the five elements and has a rhythm of lack of IQ.
"I wonder what advice is yours? Do you think there is something wrong?" Instead, the Le County Magistrate spoke first.
Wang Yang's eyes fell on Le Yong's fat face, which seemed to be happy forever. "Mr. Le County Magistrate, since the three Xixia masterpieces escaped, why didn't they directly open the prison and release the accomplices inside. Wouldn't that be too many people and powerful?"
