Chapter 168 Luck regulations, heroic spirits form an army

It has been less than half a month since the warship Xuanming landed in Yangyuan County on September [-], but the damage to the original layout of Yangyuan County has been very thorough.

All food crops outside the county have been harvested, and whether they are ripe or not is not considered by Xuanming at all.

Because of the need to gain a firm foothold, those pioneers who claim to spread civilization have dug three feet in various resource areas, and fishing in dry swamps has become their plundering criterion.

After the Xuanming had accumulated some energy outside the city, it directly landed in Yangyuan City and controlled the entire Yangyuan County in one fell swoop.

The most prosperous central city area of ​​the county, including the government office, Wenwu Temple, shops, and the market, were all destroyed. The north gate and a section of the city wall were also directly bombed by the Xuanming cannon.

The several officials in the county government, including most of the officials, except for the county magistrate who went to "ask for help" early, and still lived in the county, the rest of the officials could be said to be under the name of Xuanming.

It's just that the magistrate of Yangyuan County didn't expect that just after leaving the tiger's mouth and entering the wolf's den, he followed the officials of the county and city, and was held hostage by Sun Yucheng.

The suspicion of abandoning the land and fleeing has not had time to find a relationship to clear up, and now he may have become a traitor. The magistrate of Yangyuan County wants to cry but has no tears.

For the time being, there is no government to take over the chaotic Yangyuan County after the war. General Fumo feels sorry for the people of Yangyuan, so he can only appoint the county magistrate "Qi Hua" and the corresponding team to organize Yangyuan City to resume production and maintain social order.

The imperial court has this appointment?Is it legal?Is the general's mansion usurping its power?

However, the people of Yangyuan, who are in urgent need of rescue, don't think about this at all. What happened in the past half a month has already made them completely disappointed in the court.

With the establishment of the Yangyuan County Office of Fumo General's Mansion, many energetic young officials poured into the county office to work, and Yangyuan City gradually regained its vitality.

On October [-]rd, in a very ordinary courtyard in the north of the city, Zhou Bai held a meeting of the new team here.

This move is not for the sake of being close to the people and keeping a low profile, but for an intact ordinary house, which is very rare in Yangyuan City, which is in a state of ruins.

Fortunately, there are not many core officials in the county office, and the area of ​​the main hall of the house is sufficient. Zhou Baiduan sits in the chief seat, and the rest are listed below.

Looking at the county office team that he hastily formed in the hall, Zhou Bai looked calm, and said to Qi Hua, who was the first one below: "Magistrate Qi, let me tell you about Yangyuan's current family background. They all say it's dilapidated. How bad is it?" degree."

"I've met the general, fellow colleagues." Qi Hua neither humble nor overbearing, stood up and went out to salute Zhou Bai and his colleagues, it seemed that he had adapted to his current status.

But don't look at him calmly now, in fact, he is proficient in nourishing qi, but he is full of various feelings in his heart.

Qi Hua never expected that Zhou Bai would directly appoint him as the magistrate of a county. His original intention was to join his friends temporarily and have a place to live.

During this period of time, the status changed too quickly, from the son of the prince of the county to the leader who organizes resistance against the rebels, and then to the frustrated person who lives in Pingcang, and in the last blink of an eye he was fooled by Zhou Bai to Yangyuan, becoming a privately set up by the general's mansion. magistrate.

It was at this time that Qi Hua understood his friend's intentions. General Fumo was obviously not limited to Fumo, Zhou Bai didn't want to be a pure celestial being.

With the invasion of foreign monsters, the imperial court is helpless, and the people are dying. The heavenly court needs a brand new dynasty to unite the great fortune of the world and fight back against foreign enemies.

If you can't pass the same Jinshi exam, do you really think you are inferior to them?Those who can do practical things are the officials that the people really need.

Losing his ancestral property and family property in his own hands, shamed his ancestors, joined the general's mansion, and would soon be able to return to the county.

Believe it or not, the imperial court will not punish what Sun Yucheng has done, and what I am doing now, but will appease them.

The decaying imperial court does not need you to be buried...

The long talk that night, and what he saw with his own eyes in Yangyuan made Qi Hua accept the post of magistrate of Yangyuan.

As for being an official under a friend, it is naturally a little uncomfortable, but before proving yourself, honoring your ancestors, benefiting the people and other temptations, everything can be overcome.

After adjusting his ups and downs, Qi Hua began to report the overall situation: "According to preliminary statistics, the original population of Yangyuan County was 12. Due to various factors such as war, hunger and fatigue, [-] people were reduced, and the current population is more than [-]. Resettlement around the county."

The number of casualties was so large that even Zhou Bai frowned, the population fell below [-], and the system could no longer be called a county.

The humane dynasty has been in place since ancient times, and the population determines the luck of a place. A state can be established with a population of tens of millions, a county can be established with a population of one million, and a county can be established with a population of 10.

This is the same as the Xianhao family, which cannot own more than [-] acres of land, which will be restricted by luck, and those who do not abide by it will often suffer "retribution".

The population is less than [-]. Strictly speaking, Zhou Bai cannot set up a county-level administrative region, otherwise Yangyuan County will be unstable and prone to natural and man-made disasters.

Now it is only through the system of the General's Mansion, and the county-level framework is barely used to manage Yangyuan. The population still needs to be replenished quickly to be safe.

Pingcang County is adjacent to Cangshan Mountain, masters the grassland commercial road, has a prosperous economy, and has a population of more than 30, so it can be called Shang County.

But the entire Bei'an County is a special case in Pingcang. The population of most counties only meets the county standard, with a population of more than 20 and less than [-].

"In terms of food, because the Xuanming's collection is too thorough, the food reserves are more sufficient than before, which can feed 7 people until next year's autumn harvest."

"That's why the county office is currently preparing to recruit refugees and offer land to attract landless people from other counties to migrate. I believe the reputation of the General's Mansion is enough to attract people from outside to settle down."

Hearing this, Zhou Bai made a final decision and said: "The ancient system of setting up a county with [-] people cannot be violated. It is the top priority of your team to attract enough people to settle down. We can use methods such as tax exemption for acres, loans for young crops, and cooperative housing. "

"No." Everyone in the hall responded in unison, and they understood that this was an important performance indicator for the General's Mansion's assessment.

Zhou Bai knew that the root of the Heavenly Court's strength was luck, and all kinds of luck regulations were designed to make the Heavenly Court better gather the world's great fortune.

One hundred thousand one county, one million one county, form a custom, and the luck will not be too much dispersed.

No matter how weird these circulated luck regulations are, he is not going to change them, otherwise he will have to pry into the corner of the heavenly court.

Zhou Bai may "seek death" in the future, but he is definitely not weak now.

Qi Hua understood the spirit, and continued: "According to Pingcang's construction experience, we will carry out large-scale work-for-work relief to provide food for the people who participate in construction, road repairs, and land reclamation."

"Hold righteous god sacrificial activities, appease the people, recruit local talents..."

After a report, it not only clarified the current situation, but also explained the key points and methods of governing for a period of time in the future.

All in all, Zhou Bai was very satisfied. His good friend was not a domineering son, but a standard son of the prefect, with outstanding abilities.

Zhou Bai turned his head to look at Yu Ji, and asked, "Is there anything to add to Master Yu's book?"

Yu Ji went out and bowed his hands in salute, very low-key: "My lord, Yangyuan is waiting to be rejuvenated, and the various actions of Qi County Magistrate have hit the point, and the officials deeply agree."

"If there is a place that needs to be checked and filled, it should be continuously improved and adjusted in normal times."

The standard answer was actually the reason why Zhou Bo chose him as the chief bookkeeper. He is a person who is utilitarian and motivated, but once he is entrusted with important tasks, what he does must be in line with his status.

Zhou Bai doesn't need a chief secretary to fight for power with the county magistrate, he just needs Yu Ji's thoughtfulness to help Qi Hua fill in the omissions.

Then there is the issue of the garrison, because the original system of county soldiers and yamen servants has collapsed, so the Fumo Army will naturally send people to garrison.

Before the County Office fully controls Yangyuan and the order returns to normal, Yangyuan City will remain under military control.

In this way, at least a battalion of 500 people must be left, so that while maintaining the basic security of Yangyuan County, it can assist in the establishment of a conventional force system such as the militia, garrison, and government servants.

There are too few generals available in the pocket, apart from Zhou Yuan, there is no military talent that he can trust.

But without training and training, such talents will never exist.

So Zhou Bai called the six battalions that participated in the First Battle of Yangyuan, and watched each other, but he was unexpectedly surprised.

The natal lives of the six people have more or less changed, among which a Yingzheng named Yan Cheng is the most notable.

The original pure white life, after the battle of Yangyuan, was promoted to the light red life, not red and white, but the real life of the county.

The other five people are a little bit worse, they are all just showing their popularity in vain, and they have a tendency to turn into red lives.

After careful investigation, Zhou Bai finally found that the biggest difference between Yan Cheng and them was that he performed most prominently in the Battle of Yangyuan.

The soldiers in the battalion under his command not only killed the most, but also suffered the least loss. In the final calculation of military merits, they ranked first.

Generals can change their lives on the battlefield, this is something that Zhou Bai knew in his previous life, because they are always facing threats to their lives, and it is easy to stimulate their potential.

However, this probability is very small. Some recruits become veterans, but very few recruits become good generals. Luck and time are indispensable.

Before the Battle of Yangyuan, his battalions had never been short of battles, big or small. Whether it was the suppression of bandits or the bloody battle with the Jinren, the intensity was no worse than this time.

After all, the Voldemort Army has more people and fewer people this time, and the timing, location, and harmony of people have all been taken advantage of, so why do they collectively appear the phenomenon of natal transformation.

The Xuanming, Pioneering Army, and Qingxu Realm's extraordinary sequences are all synonymous with foreign monsters, and they are the great enemies of this realm.

That is to say, if one wins a foreign war, one can get the favor of the will of the world, and changing one's life is not considered going against the sky.

Zhou Bai's own life is already the life of Huangtang County, and one step up is the life of Qing. Even if he fights for the coach, it will be difficult to change his life.

Therefore, his inference can only be verified on the lower level of life. When the Demon Subduing Army practiced, Zhou Bai looked at it.

Of the remaining 750 people, half of them have reached the pure white life and can be officers in the long team waiting for grassroots officers, and another 23 people have become popular in their white lives.

So the inference is established, if a war occurs with an enemy outside the territory, those who make meritorious deeds will be favored by the destiny, and the possibility of improving their destiny will be greatly increased.

This is tantamount to giving Zhou Bai a way to acquire a large number of talents. Even if he really breaks ground to build a country in the future, the Fumo Army must be retained.

A person with talent but no "virtue" should be allowed to practice in the Demon Subduing Army.

After inspecting the six battalion officers again, Zhou Bai still decided to appoint Yan Cheng as the county inspector of Yangyuan County.

All official positions in Yangyuan, including county magistrates, are inspected, and after a certain period of time, they will be assessed by the general's office.

The appointment of the county lieutenant was not only because of Yan Cheng's high destiny and outstanding military achievements, but also because his talent was better than the other five battalion officers.

When asked about the six methods of running and building an army, only Yan Cheng answered all of them well. It can be said that he has a little experience in Jingwu.

The little things in the martial arts hall have been completely understood.

Zhou Bai stayed in Yangyuan until mid-October, when the situation was settled, and the legal net of the general's mansion above the county took shape, connecting with Pingcang, and only then did the team return.

After all, it is the second county under its control, unlike Pingcang County, which is under the direct management of the General's Mansion, so there is always some worry.

……

On October 47th in the 250th year of Xiangxing, General Zhou Bai led [-] people to carry the coffin back to the teacher.

There are a total of 240 coffins, all of which are carried by the officers of the Fumo Army. The coffin carried by Zhou Bai himself is a captain of the third battalion.

This team is from the Zhou family, the son of the No.11 house of the family.

On the outskirts of Pingcang City, the newly built meritorious cemetery welcomes the first batch of occupants.

Zhou Bai led the general's civil and military affairs, and led the people in the city to mourn for the heroes.

This time they are not only guarding the territory, but also expelling foreign enemies. The sacrifice of heroes deserves all the honor.

Amidst the heavy eulogy, incense was lit in the Hall of Martyrs in front of the cemetery, and the 240 four spiritual tablets were gradually lingered by the fragrance.

"The husband heard that staying in the Siyi is the training of the sages. To go to the old and start the new, there was a quarrel at the beginning. The strong man is full of virtue, and he puts himself on the edge. The spirit is strong and the ghost is strong, and the gold and stone are the shock."

"... How loyal is the dream of the soul, and the empathy of those who come. Help the car to return together, and look at the mast to welcome each other. The old place is in the hometown, and the tomb of the same robe. The soul returns, laying down the wine... …Heroic spirits see both happiness and health. Heroic spirits protect them, and their blessings last forever. When the soul returns, Vimo will be hurt forever!"

"Bye, pay homage to heroes!"

Under Zhou Bai's leadership, the people of Hecheng paid high respects to him. Everyone knew that if these heroes hadn't defended against the enemy, it would have been Pingcang's turn to end Yangyuan.

Then, in front of everyone, Zhou Bai used an official document with the seal of General Fumo to announce the legal rationale for the title of hero within the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion.

Including the former heroes of the Heroes' Shrine in Hongni Township, from now on, in addition to offering incense and fire from the people, they also enjoy the support of the system's luck.

As soon as this edict was announced, the law net of luck in the sky above Pingcang was immediately connected to the Hall of Martyrs, and a lot of luck was poured into it.

The several Taoist officials accompanying them, with their Lingyun eyes, clearly saw a large spiritual field gradually appearing, and there seemed to be a military camp in it.

Under the guidance of strong luck, 240 four heroic spirits were brought back from the underworld, and the Xuanjia Ghost Saber was magnificent.

Once entering the Spiritual Realm, most of the institutional luck that had been consumed by the Hall of Martyrs was actually fed back.

"See General!"

"Thank you, General, for the order. We will firmly guard the territory of the Yin world for you, so as not to let wild ghosts harass you and reduce your luck in the Yang world."

Zhou Bai looked at the spirit domain of the Hall of Valor, and the heroic spirits inside actually formed an army of their own, vowing to protect this Yinshi territory.

Respecting heroes is originally a habit of being a Blue Star, but unexpectedly, it fits the yin and yang of heaven and earth.

Those who worship heroes should be guarded by heroic spirits.
