Chapter 186: Win the hearts and minds of the people and eliminate the mountain bandits

Next, under Wang Kang's arrangement, the people brought by the Earl's Mansion were all stationed in the county government of Xinfeng County, and they could only stay here for the time being.

Fortunately, the county government office is different from Xinfeng County. It was obviously renovated by Xu Yun and has many houses, which are spacious and bright.

The plaque of the Earl of Fuyang's Mansion has been hung up, indicating that the first step of Xinfeng County's important ownership has been completed.

Of course, there are many follow-up matters, such as the return of the people, which is a big problem, and the existence of banditry, which must be dealt with completely.

Only by integrating resources for development and construction...

There’s a long way to go!

Luo Bin has already brought a group of Cai Master students who came with him to clean up the accounts, supplies, etc. After all, this is a county town.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, led his people to take over the city defense and issued a notice that Xinfeng County is now the territory of the Earl of Fuyang.

Everything was proceeding step by step, and Wang Kang found Nie Zhongxing. He was a native of Xinfeng County and had previously served as the head of Xinfeng County. He also knew the situation here best.

Wang Kang was sitting in a room that had been temporarily set up as Wang Kang's office.

Nie Zhongxing sat upright and looked at Wang Kang.

"Haha, Lao Nie, don't be so formal and be more casual. Am I scary?"

Wang Kang smiled and said, in fact, Nie Zhongxing is not very old, he should be less than forty. Wang Kang calls him this to show his affection.

Nie Zhongxing was startled.

Don't dare to underestimate this seemingly harmless young master.

If you're not scary, then who is? What about Xu Yun? In Xinfeng County, everyone is so frightened that they leave in despair.

Of course, he could only say this in his heart.

Nie Zhongxing said respectfully: "Master Kang, if you have anything you want to ask, please tell me. I will definitely tell you everything you know."

"Why choose me?" Wang Kang asked directly.

"Because I see hope in you," Nie Zhongxing said seriously.

"You have a certain quality and courage. I think you can develop Xinfeng County!"

"Xinfeng County is my hometown. My ancestors all lived here. It's really poor here. What you see is just the county town. Outside the city, in those villages, many people don't even have enough food and clothing to eat.

!”

Nie Zhongxing sighed, "The land here doesn't grow crops, let alone crops or even grass."

Seeing Nie Zhongxing acting like this, Wang Kang felt a kind of respect in his heart. He knew that Nie Zhongxing was speaking from his heart.

"Originally, I chose Xu Yun. This person is capable. The previous county magistrates failed to serve due to various reasons. He has secured his seat!"

"But he went astray..."

Wang Kang understood what Nie Zhongxing meant. His previous guess was not wrong. Xu Yun did have collusion with bandits, and it was very deep...

This is why he said that to Xu Yun before, you are an official, not a bandit!

"By the way, Master Kang, how do you plan to develop Xinfeng County?" Nie Zhongxing asked curiously.

"Replacing agriculture with work!" Wang Kang said in four words.

“Replacing agriculture with work?”

Nie Zhongxing's face was full of confusion. This was the first time he heard this term.

Wang Kang didn't explain much and said again: "This is something for another time. The main thing we should do now is to win over the people and eliminate the bandits!"

These two items are Wang Kang’s top priorities right now.

Even development requires a good environment. Now people lack recognition and even reject him. This is not a good phenomenon.

Moreover, externally, banditry is serious, and they dare to rob on the way. If it is not completely eliminated, it will be even more difficult in the future.

After hearing Wang Kang's words, Nie Zhongxing's expression became solemn. After thinking for a while, he said: "In fact, it is relatively simple to win over the people. What the people want is just food and clothing."

"As long as they can live a good life, they will turn to whomever!"

Wang Kang nodded in agreement.

"The most difficult thing is to clear out the bandits. Xinfeng County has a special location and has nurtured bandits. In fact, if we had attacked them earlier, it wouldn't have been the case!"

"But Xinfeng County is a three-nothing zone. Yangzhou doesn't care, Yongzhou doesn't care, and Wanzhou doesn't care. General Zhang has carried out several raids, but no one in the area cooperates, and they are helpless!"

"Under such connivance, bandits became even more arrogant. In the early years, bandits entered the city openly and robbed. But Xinfeng County was very poor and there was no one to rob, so they went to rob caravans. This is the junction area of ​​three states. Caravans

Lots of walking!”

Nie Zhongxing said in a deep voice: "As a result, the bandits are getting more and more profits, which makes some of us in Xinfeng County join in and go astray!"

As expected, everything has its origin, and only Wang Kang understands this.

"And you entered the city forcefully and pulled away a cart full of mountain bandit heads. They are all from Qingyakou, including the third leader of Qingyakou, Shi Feng. I'm afraid of them..."

Nie Zhongxing was about to speak but stopped.

"Are you afraid that they will come to take revenge on me?" Wang Kang sneered.

"Yes!" Nie Zhongxing nodded!

"The Qingyakou gang is one of the three major bandits, and they are also the most cruel and bottomless gang. The boss, Shi Jian, is Shi Feng's brother, so you have to prepare early!"

Wang Kang understood and said to Nie Zhongxing: "Go out first and call Zhou Qing!"

"Yes," Nie Zhongxing retreated.

"What should we do?" After Nie Zhong walked, Li Qingman on the side said: "We are short of manpower now. Three hundred soldiers may seem like a lot, but it is not enough if we spread it out!"

"According to what Nie Zhongxing said, these bandits may come for revenge, so we have no choice but to do so!" Li Qingman also looked sad.

"My Taiyi Sect has always taught alone, and I have always been alone. I don't have many subordinates, otherwise..."

Wang Kang said: "Don't worry about this. I have a plan. The reason why these bandits are so rampant is because their lair is in the mountains and it is difficult to find traces."

"And even if we find it, the mountains are chaotic and difficult to fight. This may be difficult for others, but it's not difficult for me..."

"Meeting me is the beginning of their nightmare!" Wang Kang's eyes flashed coldly.

He has prepared a killing weapon for these bandits!

At this time Zhou Qing walked in, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and arrange for someone to bring Yu Yan and Lin Zhou as quickly as possible,"

Wang Kang said again.

The situation here is complicated. If we want to win over the people, we need the Fuyang tabloid to guide public opinion...

Originally, Wang Kang wanted to wait for the Fuyang Newspaper Office in Yangzhou City to be stable before letting Lin Yuyan come over, but now he can't wait without delay.

While Wang Kang was making arrangements, Xu Yun appeared on a mountain under the leadership of one person.

This is a green mountain. Green mountain does not mean that it is covered with trees, but that the stones here are covered with green moss...
Chapter completed!
