Outside the village of Gufu County.
There is a military stronghold standing.
In the center is a spacious school ground, paved with thick loess, and deep footprints have been stepped on it. On one side of the school grounds, there is a wooden training platform with rows of weapons and ordnance placed on it, where soldiers can practice various equipment.
On the other side of the school grounds are rows of tents. These tents are barracks for soldiers, with simple beds and belongings inside.
On the other side of the military camp, there is a tall wooden tower with a lookout post on the upper floor to monitor the surrounding enemy situation. Under the tower is a huge warehouse, which contains a large amount of grain, fodder, and ordnance.
There is a drinking well next to the warehouse, which is the place where water sources can be obtained in the military camp besides the stream.
At this moment, on the school field in the center of the military stronghold, military general Zhao Yue was naked from the waist up, and his body was illuminated red and shiny by the midday sun.
He held a long stick in his hand, and his muscles were bulging, as hard and powerful as steel. His movements were swift and precise, and every blow seemed to carry an irresistible power. Sweat slid down his collarbone, moisturizing his skin and making it look particularly dazzling.
Behind him, dozens of soldiers were also shirtless, imitating his movements, sweating on the school field, and training seriously.
"General Zhao."
Mi Yang's voice came from a distance.
"Huh?"
Zhao Yue stopped and put the long stick aside. The guard took the wet towel he had prepared and handed it to Zhao Yue.
"Master of the Mi family, why are you here? Didn't you go out of the city to survey the land?"
After wiping the sweat off his forehead and body, Zhao Yue put on a white undershirt and walked towards Mi Yang.
"The opportunity to break the situation has arrived!"
Mi Yang turned sideways and revealed the figures of the old Orion and the young Orion.
"A chance to break the situation?"
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up.
He has been here in Gufu County for some time, but he just practices every day, which is very boring.
Instead, he hoped that the barbarian nobles in the walled city would resist, but they were very smart and stayed in the walled city.
"It's these hunters, they said..."
Mi Yang simply told Zhao Yue about the owner of Gufu City Village hiding his population and concealing the iron mines.
When the latter heard this, the look on his face became visibly energetic.
The fatigue of practicing for an hour disappeared from him without a trace because of Mi Yang's words.
"Then what are you waiting for? Arrest the leader of the Gufucheng Village!"
This time they came to Gufu City with the mission of Young Master Liu Chan to compare the effect and speed.
Now that the situation can be broken, how can Zhao Yue not be impatient?
"Lest there be chaos."
Mi Yang touched the short beard on his chin and said slowly: "The leader of Gufu City Walled City is quite powerful in the city. If we bring a large number of troops into the city, I am afraid that the leader of Gufu City Walled City will not be captured easily. We should lure him out!" "
Lead it out?
Zhao Yue thought for a while and nodded lightly.
"You're right. You lured the leader of the village and threatened his life. With the facts in front of you, he can only surrender!"
Just as he said, Zhao Yue immediately sent envoys into the walled city and invited the owner of the walled city over. The purpose was to register all the people in households and measure the land.
The leader of the Nagufu County village in the military camp had also been here several times, so he was invited by Zhao Yue, so there was no doubt that he was there.
The leader of the village came to the military stronghold with his cronies, but as soon as he entered the military stronghold, he was immediately surrounded by soldiers in ambush.
His expression changed drastically, and his originally rosy face suddenly turned extremely pale.
"General Zhao, what do you mean?"
Zhao Yue, wearing armor, walked over from one side with a smile. He shook the ring-shou knife in his hand, looked at the village leader of Gufu County with a meaningful expression, and said, "I remember I just came to Gufu County." At that time, Your Excellency said that you absolutely support the work of establishing households and measuring land, and you will never do anything to hinder it, but?"
The village leader's palms were sweating, and his eyes began to dodge.
But he still had the courage to say: "The general has been coming to Gufu County for a long time, can I stand in the way?"
"How come there are no obstacles for you? You hide the population and the mines. Although there are no obstacles on the surface, secretly, it makes it difficult for us and others to carry out the work of reorganizing households and measuring the land, but?"
"This...I..."
He still wanted to quibble.
"This is nonsense. Why did the chief officer hurt my feelings by saying this?"
Mi Yang sneered and said, "You are stubborn! Bring the witnesses."
The young Orion Ergouzi walked in front, and behind him, a group of Orions followed closely.
"Who are they, doesn't the county magistrate know?"
When he saw this group of hunters, the magistrate of Gufu County knew that his little trick had been seen through.
"They are hunters in the mountains. I naturally know this, but I don't know what the chief officer is calling them for."
"Did you ask them to hide in the mountains and not enter the city?"
"I?"
The leader of the Gufu County Walled Village shook his head and said, "This is absolutely not the case."
"At this point, you still want to quibble?"
"Sir, please calm down. It's true that I have not cared about the affairs of the county for a long time. The affairs of the county are now managed by my chief clerk. Come to think of it, he is openly opposing the superior and the general."
He quickly sent out a scapegoat.
"Do you know what the charges are for hiding people and obstructing official duties?"
"How could I not know if my family was being confiscated and my entire clan was being destroyed?"
"Well!"
Originally, Mi Yang was planning to kill the county magistrate, but since the county magistrate sent him a scapegoat, he couldn't do it directly.
Besides...
His order was to establish households and people and measure the land. Once this happened, the county magistrate would definitely not dare to disobey it.
"Send the head of the chief register, and I will send soldiers to follow. All his family assets will be confiscated, and I will select half and give it to those who have made merit in reporting."
"yes!"
The head of Gufu County breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the vicious man in front of him would cut him in half with a knife.
"I'm going to take his head right now!"
Zhao Yue led his soldiers to 'protect' the county magistrate of Gufu County, and the group headed towards the Gufu County Walled City in a hurry.
The hunters who stayed in the military camp were extremely excited at this moment.
"Thank you sir!"
Er Gouzi's face was full of excitement.
Although he was not allowed to share the county magistrate's family assets, the bookkeeper was considered a wealthy man in the county. Half of his family assets were already wealth beyond their wildest dreams for these poor people.
They quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Mi Yang three times and cried nine times with gratitude.
"You don't need to be polite. These are the government orders of the young master. Once the young master makes a mistake, it will be hard to follow him, and there will never be any false words!"
"Believe it, I believe it!"
Er Gouzi's face was full of sincerity. He knocked his forehead heavily on the ground and said sincerely: "Young Master is the incarnation of the Barbarian God. He will be my Er Gouzi's great benefactor from now on! I will go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for him, no matter what!" "
Seeing that the young master had gained another heart, Mi Yang also had a smile on his face.
It is the hearts and minds of thousands of little people like this Orion that can make the situation in the four counties of Nanzhong truly in the hands of the young master.
