"Sir, the garrison commander of Bibo Mansion refused to let us stay in the camp and blocked all of us outside."
Qin Xu glanced at Huang Shangshan next to him.
Huang Shangshan gave a bitter smile.
"Commander Qin, this lieutenant general is Ma Cong, the legitimate son of the previous Lord Ma. I notified him a few days ago, but he was also driven out. This...sigh...I will go and persuade him again."
"How about you and your soldiers stay in the city for a while?"
"It's against the rules."
Qin Xu answered coldly. He knew that it was most likely this old silver coin that caused the trouble.
I had wanted to trick Chen Shiyan into submitting a report to impeach the Ninth Prince.
This matter has nothing to do with him, he doesn't believe it at all.
I just don't know what his purpose is. Is it to show my power to me who came from the imperial city?
Or use him to eliminate the Ma family's power?
When something falls into someone else's logic, it is best not to follow his logic.
No matter whether the final result is good or bad, the person who sets up the plan is most likely to benefit.
The problem can only be solved if you jump out of it.
Take the initiative into your own hands.
Besides, who is he?
The commander-in-chief leads an army alone and is a military leader sent from outside.
Can he be controlled by a mere lord like you?
We who lead troops have our own rules.
"Aren't there some young men from the Imperial City who want to gain military merit in the camp? If we let them go, they won't even be able to seize a piece of territory. What's the point of having them? It's better to send them back to the Imperial City in exchange for some military funds."
The guards knew what to do and immediately flew to the camp outside the city.
The main camp had already been beaten, and now Huang Taishan had to do some beating as well.
"Sir Huang, there are pirates on the water under your jurisdiction, and they are on a large scale. Do you know whether you are guilty of this?"
"Ah?" Huang Shangshan didn't know why the anger was turned towards him.
"Sir, this incident happened when Sir Ma was in office..."
Qin Xu interrupted his reply in a domineering manner.
"Then let Ma Fujun come back."
Huang Shangshan sneered.
"I won't pursue the matter of the pirates, but I guess it's not too much trouble for you to pay for the military expenses, right?"
"It's not difficult. It's as it should be. It's as it should be."
"Take 5,000 Spirit Crystals first."
Huang Shangshan felt that these five thousand spirit crystals were acceptable.
In a prefecture, the various taxes and fees of the prefecture city alone amount to 20,000 to 30,000 spirit crystals a year. Add to that the taxes levied in various places, and the total amount is as much as 40,000 spirit crystals a year.
"You are here to suppress the bandits, so it is only natural that we pay for some military expenses."
"That's good."
Qin Xu brought the monks to the camp.
Looking at the garrison soldiers kneeling on the ground.
The most embarrassed one was the lieutenant general, who must have been beaten a lot.
"Hang him up outside the camp and ask for spiritual crystals to redeem him. If you don't redeem him, keep him hanging."
Huang Shangshan felt a little numb when he heard this.
This was said to him, and he had to send someone to inform the Ma family.
Moreover, how come Commander Qin is more skilled in demanding spirit crystals than kidnapping by pirates, and he takes it for granted?
Suddenly I remembered the surprised look on the faces of the guards around Qin Xu when he asked for military funds just now.
These five thousand spirit crystals can’t be just the beginning, right?
Qin Xu didn't pay any attention to Ma Cong and Zhang Cong.
Aristocratic family? It’s not like aristocratic families haven’t copied before.
According to his temper in the imperial city, he would just chop him off directly without giving him any more nonsense.
As for why they didn't just chop him off directly, but instead let those young masters use their status to show off their power.
Of course, things are different now than in the past. He is afraid of the Nascent Soul of the aristocratic families.
Now his battle formation is incomplete, and he is indeed not very capable of fighting against the Nascent Soul.
In addition, the garrison camp is outside the city. What if we encounter some crazy Yuanying from aristocratic family?
This time he is mainly targeting those big clans. The peak of the Golden Core is the limit and they are easy to bully!
He doesn't want to get involved with the aristocratic family.
Of course, if we wait for Shen Yuchang and Nangong Yu to come, and can put together a camp to perform battle formations, it is not impossible to move the aristocratic family.
Qin Xu walked into the camp, and Huang Shangshan and the others were stopped outside.
The military camp is a restricted area and cannot be entered without permission.
Huang Shangshan had an ugly expression. He was not allowed to enter, so he was dragged here?
Just to get him to report the news? Or to give him a warning?
When he looked up, he saw Ma Cong who was hung up, staring at him fiercely.
I cursed in my heart, what bad luck.
He turned around and left with his people.
Qin Xu entered the big tent and called for his personal guards.
"Go to Qianyuan County and invite the county magistrate there to come to me, and then go to Tianhua County to help me investigate the local big families."
"Sir, what are the rules for investigating these great clans?"
"Pick a few fat ones."
"Hehe, I understand. Don't worry, sir."
This is also normal. If officials from the imperial city go down to handle a case and return empty-handed, wouldn't it be considered too rude to the local people?
Those who have the dignity to refuse will accept some of the small gift.
Only those who are impatient can take everything they want back home.
Therefore, overseas assignments are often very popular.
The Government Affairs Hall in the Imperial City is also aware of this tone and will not easily send out missions abroad.
Cheng Qian still remembered the mayor of Tianhua County and how the Guo family had framed his clone.
He has kept it in his little notebook for many years.
Now that Qin Xu has gone to Bibo Mansion, it is just right that he can avenge his clone.
Just make a conclusion for it, complete the cause and effect, let your thoughts flow freely, and stop worrying about it all the time.
After Qin Xu made all the arrangements, he walked around the military camp like a lion king patrolling his territory.
This will be his world from now on.
Strolling and thinking.
Most of these soldiers were guards sent by aristocratic families or independent cultivators who were found to replace their own direct descendants.
The salaries and food supplies were naturally paid by the aristocratic families.
Those young masters who came here for military merit also looked down on this.
Paying them salaries and food? That's looking down on them.
At worst, I can just seek some military merit.
So the soldiers’ food and wages were saved.
A large amount of spirit crystals fell into Qin Xu's hands.
He was not going to share this amount of spirit crystals with sergeants, captains, lieutenants, or generals.
He didn't even intend to pay them a salary.
What these generals and lieutenant commanders lack is the salary?
No, what they lack are more spirit crystals and more opportunities to move forward.
He also had a way to deal with it.
Just have to take it one step at a time.
First, pull these people into your camp.
Then he led them into the abyss step by step.
In the end, they were happy to do things for him and for themselves.
It doesn't matter if you go a little too far at that time.
Who dares to stop the bandit-suppression army who are used to eating delicious food?
Even if he was reported by someone and impeached by officials at all levels, there were great scholars in the imperial court who would argue on his behalf.
It was destined from the moment he came here and from the moment his subordinates were those young masters.
Thinking of this, Qin Xu thought of His Majesty the Holy Emperor again.
Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, a wise ruler, and unparalleled benevolence!
It's really great to arrange these young masters to be his subordinates.
What others see as poison, he sees as honey.
It saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I would have to frequently go around the imperial city to build relationships, and that kind of bond would be too shallow.
For three consecutive days, Qin Xu dealt with various affairs of the camp, while also constantly arranging people to go to various county towns.
He needs to prepare for the next step of dealing with these generals and these young men who are seeking military merit.
The central military tent.
"Sir, the Qianyuan County Magistrate is here to see you."
"Come in."
Dou Zhengyuan walked into the big tent with trepidation in his heart.
When the anti-bandit soldiers from the imperial city came to his door a few days ago, he was a little panicked.
No one could have expected that a mere pirate would be taken so seriously by the imperial city.
He was actually able to directly dispatch the imperial guards to form an army.
I was a little nervous on the way here.
"You guys go down first."
"Yes." The guards left the tent and activated the shielding formation.
"Please sit down."
Dou Zhengyuan sat there obediently.
Qin Xu felt a little emotional. He didn't expect to meet his old friend again after just a few years.
I've become more mature, but my mentality is not very good.
When he saw the various behaviors of the bandits in the case file, plus the name of Qianyuan County.
The first person he thought of was Dou Zhengyuan, and he guessed that this story was told by Dou Zhengyuan to the lower-level monks of the dynasty.
However, considering how much importance the Holy Emperor attached to this matter, sending his sharp blade here should have turned the story into an accident.
Before leaving for the Imperial City, he sincerely admired the Holy Emperor, who was worthy of being the Holy Emperor who had been in power for nearly three hundred years.
You have a very accurate view of the problem.
He was able to immediately discover the differences between these pirates and accurately determine the structural threat to his dynasty.
However, it was precisely because he was sent here that the situation took a turn for the better.
If we send just one individual, these pirates and this spark of war will be extinguished.
What a pity....
Whenever he thought of this, Qin Xu felt that even though the Holy Emperor was so wise and insightful, he was still slightly inferior to him.
Because they saw the threat clearly and took it seriously, they sent their most powerful spearhead in recent years.
And every sip and every bite is wonderful beyond words.
