In early August, the appointment of the county government came down.

Sun Siwen received the letter of appointment from Yamen, talked with his colleagues for a while, and hurried to his home.

“The county government transferred the order, promoted me to the county cheng of Wugang county in Shaoyang prefecture, and took the county order as the county cheng, in charge of the affairs of a county.”

Back home, Sun Siwen found his friend and opened his mouth.

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned: “How did you act as an agent for the county order, didn’t Wugang County arrange the county order?” ”

Sun Siwen smiled bitterly: “There was an arrangement. However, as soon as the promoted county commander heard that he was going to Wugang County to take office, he immediately fell ill and accused the county government that he could not go to office.

I heard that some other officials in Wugang County also found their own reasons and did not go to their posts. ”

Lu Yuan frowned: “Wugang County is very chaotic? ”

Sun Siwen nodded: “I heard that the former county officials and other officials there were all killed by the Miao people who came out of the mountains two months ago. These rioters wreaked havoc in the city for a month before they were repulsed by the army of the county capital.

Now that the army of peace and chaos has left, there is no one to restrain Wugang County.

It is rumored that the county seat has been controlled by local gangs and those Miao mountain people. These guys invaded each other and stirred up the place.

Those officials who were appointed to Wugang County were afraid that they would be killed by these rioters if they went, so they did not dare to go to their posts. ”

When Sun Siwen said this, his tone became very indignant.

He was not only angry that those thieves were making trouble, but also angry that those officials were greedy for life and afraid of death when the imperial court employed people, and did not dare to fulfill their duties.

Looking at his friend’s expression, how could Lu Yuan not know what the other party thought, and asked, “Brother Sun is going to go to the post?” ”

Sun Siwen said without hesitation: “Not bad.” Although my colleagues in the county advised me not to take over, I said that going to Wugang County would be to die. But at this time of great chaos, if I, as an official of the imperial court, do not shoulder this responsibility, who will bear the responsibility?

Count on those rioters?

The people of Wugang County are now suffering from chaos, and as a reader, I naturally save them from fire and water.

This time Wugang, I went to decide. ”

The new county official said categorically.

Lu Yuan sighed: “There are many chaotic people over there, and many of them are people who kill people without blinking.” You are a weak scholar, even if you have the body of an official of the imperial court, but those rioters have died even the county order after this banditry, but they will no longer fear you as a county official.

The protection of the imperial court official body is gone, just rely on you alone, you went to Wugang County, what is the use? ”

Sun Siwen is indeed a friend worth making, frank and sincere, with the righteousness of the world in mind, and the ambition to relieve the people.

But because of this, he was destined to face far more trials and sufferings than ordinary people.

That’s it.

So many officials in the county are like tigers in Wugang County, and they are afraid that they will lose their lives there.

But Sun Siwen is not afraid, knowing that it is a tiger’s den, and he wants to break in.

How many of these great benevolences and courage can do it?

At this time, in the face of his friend’s questioning, Sun Siwen said unhurriedly: “I thought about what you said, of course, the appointment was not all based on blood on the brain, but also after careful consideration, the decision was made.”

This came with the appointment, as well as the help from the county.

The county government promised that if I took office, it would give me a subsidy of 3,000 taels of silver to recruit officers and soldiers in the local area to escort me to my post.

The county government gave a battalion of 500 men, and promised that I could recommend a person to become a county lieutenant and be in charge of these 500 people.

The farewell is all sent, as long as it is signed, you can quickly take over.

Moreover, many large and small official positions that are missing in Wugang County can be directly appointed after being reviewed by the county government after my recommendation, regardless of whether they have meritorious service before. ”

Sun Siwen looked at his friend and said confidently: “I have counted.” According to today’s money price, to recruit an officer and soldier, you need to pay 20 taels of silver to settle down, which is the money to buy life. Another five taels of silver per month.

So three thousand taels of silver is enough for me to recruit one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers.

The rest of the monthly salary, I have been teaching in the county town over the years, there are many protégés, and I also have some reputation in the local area, I can raise donations from the local gentry, I should also be able to get a thousand taels of silver, and I can also pay half a year’s salary.

With one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers escorting in this way, even if Wugang County is in chaos, it is not without a chance to calm down and restore local stability. ”

Under normal circumstances, the number of officers and soldiers in a county, including military service, is about 100.

If Sun Siwen really brought 150 people to his post, under normal circumstances, he could indeed stabilize local order.

But is this normal?

Now it is considered to be semi-chaotic.

In the chaotic times, which of those grass kings in the place is not gathering hundreds of thousands, roaring on one side?

As far as Sun Siwen’s temporarily recruited officers and soldiers can have how much combat power can they have? Have you fought those chaotic soldiers?

Looking at his friend’s confident face, Lu Yuan knew that this was a deliberate performance made by the other party in order not to worry about himself.

Can Sun Siwen not think of things that he can think of?

And the other party thought of it, said so, and did so, which is already showing his intentions.

Lu Yuan stroked his forehead and sighed: “I really convinced you, it’s just that.” Don’t you still have a recommended place for a county lieutenant? It just so happens that I always want to taste the taste of being an official and experience the scenery, so give it to me. ”

“Brother Lu.”

Sun Siwen was moved when he heard this, and couldn’t help but persuade: “This is my business.” You don’t have to go to Nawugang County for me. ”

Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop and said disdainfully: “What is it called for you?” I just want to be an official. And isn’t it just the rioters of a county?

Some local monkeys, I want to see, what kind of storms can he make?

Okay, where the official order is, take it. ”

He didn’t do anything with this, but he really couldn’t look at those rioters in Wugang County.

A small local county, or the poor kind, how many powerful people can there be?

I’m afraid that I have counted the whole county several times, and I don’t even have a second-rate expert in the rivers and lakes, right?

Not only high-end combat power, but even those local chaotic people, whether they can make up thousands of people and horses, is a problem. Even if they make it up, they are still some messy militias, how much organization and combat effectiveness can they have?

In this kind of place, with Lu Yuan’s half-step first-class strength, it is enough to run amok.

Seeing his friend’s insistence, Sun Siwen was more and more moved in his heart, and at the same time, he did not persuade anymore, but directly took out two copies of his confession from his arms: “This is the county captain’s confession, in duplicate.” After Brother Lu signs it, one copy can be kept, and the other copy will be returned to the county office for archiving records. ”

Lu Yuan took the confession, looked at it, filled in his name, place of origin, and origin on it, and then wrote some physical descriptions as the basis for authentication, and then left one copy and returned the other to his friend.

“Okay, take this confession and give it to the county government.”

After speaking, he couldn’t help but smile: “Hey, from today onwards, I will be the county captain of Zhengbapin.” Brother Sun, it took you five years to reach this level. Now I can do it in a day. ”

As the head of a county military attaché, the county lieutenant is the third in command of the county, only under the county commander and the county commander.

And Wugang County has no county order, that is to say, Lu Yuan signed the sue and now suddenly became the second-in-command of a county.

The speed of this promotion is simply terrifying.

Of course, as a price, if you want to hold this position, you have to fight with your life.
