Chapter 16 This job is not easy
Xu Zhenghui asked Lu Chenyang, "Sir, would you like me to call them back?"
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "Since they have gone to the banquet, let's not disturb their good mood. There is no rush, no rush. I will settle them down first."
Xu Zhenghui looked at the people Lu Chenyang brought with him and said, "This county government office has limited space and can't accommodate so many people."
Tan Feng said: "Don't worry about us, we will find a place ourselves."
After Tan Feng finished speaking, he clasped his fists towards Lu Chenyang, left Lu Ning alone, and took the others away from the county government office.
Wanda and others were on official business, so it was natural for them to live in the county government office.
Lu Chenyang added, "I brought back a lot of people this time. Please register them. I will divide the land with them in a few days."
Xu Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was the first time he saw a county magistrate bringing the people with him when he took office.
He nodded: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Lingnan is a vast area with a sparse population, so the arrival of a few more people is not a big deal.
A group of people went to clean up in the back, uh, mainly Wanda and others. Lu Chenyang asked Xu Zhenghui to move the official documents from the county government over, he wanted to see the documents. As for the room, Zhao Xi said she could do it alone!
"Brother Wanda, please go get me a bucket of water." Zhao Xi ordered.
Wanda responded, "I'll go right away." People were injured along the way, and it was almost always Zhao Xi who bandaged their wounds, boiled medicine and treated their illnesses, so the people Wanda brought respected Zhao Xi more than Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang was reading official documents in the study, and Yan Xing was drinking tea beside him. He looked at him and shook his head the more he read.
"Is the official document given to you fake?" Yan Xing asked.
Lu Chenyang shook his head: "No, this is just throwing all the difficult and complicated problems to me."
Yan Xing understood and looked at him with sympathy: "You are in trouble, so pitiful." His tone was gloating.
Lu Chenyang sighed lightly. In addition to the harsh climate in Lingnan, the environment is even worse. It’s not the geographical environment, but the cultural environment here.
In addition to some fugitives and extremely vicious criminals, there are also many ethnic minorities here.
Because of the large number of ethnic groups, they are collectively called Dongyi people. They each have their own village and live in the mountains for generations.
They were self-sufficient, but there were some things they didn't have, such as silk, salt, farm tools, etc. So they would go down the mountain from time to time and exchange some things with the Han people for some supplies.
There were bound to be some frictions as soon as the two sides came into contact. Yanquan County was the place where Lu Chenyang, the county magistrate, was robbed, cheated, and stolen, let alone the Dongyi people who had lived in the mountains for a long time.
The Dongyi people weren't stupid; they'd learned the lesson after being deceived so many times. They were skilled at using poison. If they couldn't outwit them, they'd resort to poison. If they dared to deceive them, they'd poison you to death, then retreat to the mountains and die in vain.
Therefore, the Han people were very hostile to the Dongyi people. The Dongyi people simply came down the mountain every year to rob supplies, and the conflict between the two sides became increasingly serious.
To resist the Dongyi, the city's residents, under the urging of the wealthy, formed an army to destroy the Yi. This army consisted of two thousand men, who were not required to do farm work on weekdays and became a ragtag army. Oh, and by the way, the largest investor in the army was the Shen family.
The Dongyi people were not to be outdone. They had numerous tribes, and every year they formed an army to raid the mountains. Young men from each tribe formed the Han-annihilating army. After all, they couldn't afford to lose out on a name.
The two sides have been fighting for many years and are incompatible.
When he saw Lu Chenyang, he was a little confused. These were the armed forces of civilian organizations. Logically, the imperial court should also have troops stationed there.
There are garrisons, but they are useless.
First of all, the garrison troops sent to Lingnan were the same as Lu Chenyang. Basically, they came here because they had offended someone. Those who could leave had left over the years, and those who could not leave were basically desperate and did not care about anything at all.
The challenge facing Lu Chenyang now was that with the onset of winter and the heavy snow covering the mountains, the Dongyi people would emerge to rob the food supply. In previous years, the Mieyi Army would step up patrols and guard the area, but now that Lu Chenyang was the new county magistrate, he had to obey his orders.
To put it simply, let's not worry about the Mieyi Army anymore, it all depends on Lu Chenyang's ability.
In previous years, they had always had the upper hand in the battles against the Yi army. In Lu Chenyang's first year, he couldn't fail to protect the people, right? If he couldn't, then his authority would be shattered, and he would never be able to gain a foothold in Lingnan again, and he would only be a puppet county magistrate.
High, really high. Ever since Lu Chenyang entered Lingnan, the schemes against him have been one after another, and they have never stopped.
No wonder Zu Xingwei let the man go so readily in the mountain stronghold and had no intention of harming his life at all. It turned out that there was someone more powerful waiting for him.
Lu Chenyang sighed sadly. She now suspected that her brother had known for a long time that he might have to come to Lingnan and that this job would be difficult, so he ran away early.
