It is a bit hot late autumn on Guangnan West Road.

The sun is not small, the key is that it has not rained for half a month, which makes people feel anxious.

"What kind of the weather is this?" Tang Ren looked up at the mountains opposite and said with a headache: "Shouldn't it be cold? Why is it still so hot?"

As soon as he arrived at Guangnan West Road, he quickly arrived at the local people's gathering area.

After Song Shiyao burned the Jiaozhi people to death with a fire, he was praised by officials on Guangnan West Road and was considered to have made a breakthrough. He stood on the other side and observed the mountain with a telescope.

"The chief minister, the natives here are fierce. They have collected a lot of food this season and will not come down the mountain."

"Is that true?" Tang Ren also looked at, "Let the soldiers accompany him not come over."

"Why?" If it weren't for Tang Ren's experience in the prefecture, Song Shiyao would probably think he was a mediocre official.

"No," Tang Ren ordered: "Get back and set up camp, send scouts to sweep the surrounding area, and do not get close to it."

They brought three thousand troops, but the transferee felt that it was not enough, but Tang Ren refused the suggestion of sending more troops.

There are too many people and the food and grass that needs to be transported along the way will become a burden on the military and civilians of Guangnan West Road.

Tang Ren is here to solve the problem and does not want to create new problems.

The army set up camp, and Tang Ren asked someone to slaughter a sheep, and he cooked it by himself.

Cut the mutton into pieces and put it in the pot to remove the foam and impurities, and change to water and boil.

Firewood was burning in the temporary ground nest and earth stove. Song Shiyao stuffed a dead branch in it, looked up and sniffed, "It tasted good. But why not put the seasoning?"

"That's it." Tang Ren said: "The Marquis of Guixin said that it is best not to add seasonings to the mutton. The more you put it, the worse the taste. It is better to have some mutton smell... If there is no mutton smell, then what else can you eat?"

"It turns out to be like this?" Song Shiyao was hanging out in the inspection department in the early stage, and later transferred to the army. He ate big pot rice, and liked heavy-tasting food the most.

Once you get used to heavy tastes, you will find that the so-called delicacies are light and tasteless, and your taste buds can no longer taste the food itself.

But this mutton is different.

After it is cooked, pick it up and sprinkle a handful of salt.

"start."

Tang Ren bit off with a mouth, and felt that the meat was tender, and the gravy exploded in his mouth, and then the salty salt of the salt was intertwined and slowly melted...

"Good lamb!"

Song Shiyao just ate one piece and instantly felt that his first half of his life was in vain.

"Is there such delicacies?" He said in surprise: "In the past, the food in the army was cooked and the seasonings were added... I didn't know that mutton actually only needed water to boil..."

"Look at whether that sheep is good." Tang Ren explained: "Gui Xinhou likes to eat braised mutton, and barbecue people love it too much. He especially likes to cook dinner and late-night snacks... This is not bound by a corner. Similarly, if we want to appease the natives, we can't wait, otherwise they won't come down until the beginning of next spring."

"Yes! Those natives are so cunning, and they won't go down the mountain without any benefit."

Song Shiyao said with some headache: "And they don't trust us, this is the most difficult thing."

"Trust is a prerequisite for resolving affairs, but it's okay if there is no one." Tang Ren said: "I'll ask for some money, food, pigs and sheep to come later."

"Sir, we have enough food to bring this time."

"We don't eat it."

Tang Ren smiled and said, "When the time comes, wandering around the mountain... Those natives will be hard to endure when winter and spring come, right? Yes, I think there is no food in the mountains at that time, but I can only sit and eat the mountain. In the end, I am so hungry that I will go and grab it."

Song Shiyao said: "That's true."

He felt that Tang Ren was still interesting, at least not that rigid official.

"When the things arrive, let them take a walk down the mountain."

"What does it mean?" Song Shiyao was stunned and then woke up, "Is this seducing the enemy?"

"Your idea is very dangerous." Tang Ren suddenly frowned and said, "Those natives are our brothers and sisters, why are they enemies? What do you think? You can actually think of the word enemy. It can be seen that you have many ideas about those brothers and sisters on weekdays, and look back and reflect on yourself."

This is the civil servant! He is insidious and cunning. He can always find reasons for himself before doing something unethical.

Tang Ren felt that his arrangement would be done, so he retreated into the tent to sleep with confidence.

After waking up, he yawned out and asked, "Are you here?"

"It's still early, it will take at least three days."

It is not difficult to mobilize grain and pigs and sheep, but it is difficult to mobilize a cart.

Prefecture is a military fortress. Everything, including women and children, is born for war, so there is no gathering. Just a word, you will consciously hand over the resources you have.

But this is Guangnan West Road, which is not only remote, but also poor.

On the third day, a team of big cars arrived.

Most of the drivers who drove the car were injured, looking sad and angry, and they looked like they dared not speak out.

No one cares about them, but Tang Ren cares about them.

"What's going on?"

He felt that his arrangements and handling were so wronged, why were these people so wronged?

No one answered.

Tang Ren was angry and said, "If you don't speak, you will be allocated until next year."

This is a way to destroy the family. Tang Ren doesn't know how to use it, but he takes it out and threatens the coachmen at this time.

This is compassion, but it also requires thunderbolt means to assist.

The coachmen trembled for a while, looking at the soldiers escorting beside them, they did not dare to speak.

"roll!"

Tang Ren was angry and pointed at the soldiers and said, "Everyone rushed over."

These soldiers were originally lazy, but at this moment they were yelled at Tang Ren and were panicked.

If Tang Ren went back to submit a memorial and impeached them, what would the consequences be?

Will definitely be dealt with.

So before Song Shiyao sent someone to drive him away, a soldier said, "The chief, they are not willing..."

The cart was requisitioned and said nothing, but Tang Ren had been hanging in the prefecture for so long and knew that something was wrong, so he sneered: "What does it mean to requisition unwillingly? Is it not that unwilling to do so? Do you think someone is a yamen?"

As an official, the yamen has resources and means, so he naturally refuses to sink, so he is often blinded by the officials below.

But Tang Ren is different. He is the representative of grassroots officials. I don’t know what the following situation is?

The soldiers looked at each other, and at this time someone in the convoy shouted: "Master, they said they had to requisition us to pull the soil and stones back, saying that they were building houses for officials."

Someone opened it and it went smoothly afterwards.

"Then Yang Zhizhou wanted to build a house. He was originally asked by the soldiers to do it, but the soldiers wanted to recruit us..."

mmmp!

Tang Ren couldn't help but want to scold people.

The soldiers all lowered their heads, but they did not see any guilt or regret. It was obvious that they were already numb.

Guangnan West Road is far away from Bianliang, and the so-called emperor who is high in the mountains refers to this kind of place.

In the past, the army here was negligent in training and was often used by officials.

But later, Nong Zhigao rebelled, and the officers and soldiers on Guangnan West Road were beaten out, and their true colors were revealed.

Chen An destroyed the elite Jiaozhi in a battle, and later the navy made Li Rizun even more anxious, so Guangnan West Road was safe.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is an annoying word for most officials, so the safe Guangnan West Road began to enjoy peace. Once the army is peaceful, it becomes a free labor force. How many days are borrowed here and how many days are there to serve? As for training... what the hell is that?

"Yang Zhizhou's life seemed good, and he actually wanted to build a house."

Tang Ren's tone was very calm, "Whoever went there would be said that Tang asked Yang Zhizhou to come here to meet."

"Someone go."

Someone was about to go, and Song Shiyao whispered: "This matter is probably not easy to deal with... As far as I know, local sergeants did not have two incidents. If they started to make a big fuss, everyone would be in danger. I am afraid... the law would not blame the public!"

If the law does not punish the masses, those people will attack you, Tang Ren.

Tang Ren said with a normal expression: "It's okay, I just want to invite Yang Quan to drink."

"Drinking and chatting? That would be the best." Poor Song Shiyao, if he had some understanding of Chen An's magnanimity and had learned about Chen An's profound influence on Tang Ren, he would not be so optimistic.

On the third day, Yang Quan, the governor of Shangsizhou, came.

"The Chief of Tang...hahahaha!"

Yang Quanwu has a short figure, but a thick body, giving people a strong feeling.

His face was slightly dark, but he was born with nature.

"Yang Magistrate." When he was in Prefecture, Tang Ren was restraining his place along the way and had a psychological advantage over the magistrate in a remote area.

But that is Fuzhou, and this is Guangnan West Road.

His trip was quite hasty. Zhao Shu gave him the task of finding a solution to the natives as soon as possible, but he did not give him the right to control the local officials. In other words, when something happened, he Tang Ren had to coordinate with local officials to solve the problem himself.
