Chapter 395: How difficult is people's livelihood

Zhao Hanzhang gave them the injections without any psychological burden, and then walked out of the hospital account. Fan Ying excitedly came to report, "Girl, they said that there is a cottage sixty miles east along the official road, and the people inside are very powerful, so Many young people in their village went there to become mountain bandits and did not want to stay in the village with them.”

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Isn't it still a bandit?"

   "Good birds choose wood to live, maybe the mountain bandits over there are more powerful and make more money?"

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Then go and find out, they will be the next bandit we want to kill."

  Fan Ying has been with Zhao Hanzhang for a while, and knows that before every battle, scouts must first collect information. In the words of Zhao Hanzhang who taught Zhao Erlang, information is the key to the outcome of a battle.

  The so-called know the enemy and know yourself, only then can you be safe in a hundred battles.

  Fan Ying led the way and plunged into the bandits who had just been subdued.

The distance between the two bandits is not very far, and most of the people who fall for the grass are villagers, so a lot of news is circulated. Seeing Fan Ying is kind, and she is a beautiful little lady, they are also simple, and she just pours beans in a bamboo tube when she asks. He said, "My cousin is a bandit on that mountain. He eats much better than outside. He can eat two meals a day, and he can be full six times a day."

  Fan Ying: "You can't?"

   They shook their heads directly, "We eat one meal a day. Now it's cold, and it's even harder to find food. We can live a day only half full."

  A boy about the same age as Fan Ying blushed and said, "Actually, we are so weak because we don't have enough to eat. We used to be much stronger than we are now."

  Fan Ying glanced at him, "Why, you still want to beat our prefect?"

   "Don't dare, don't dare," the middle-aged man on the side gave the boy a slap, slapped the man's head, and said to Fan Ying to please: "Young people just like to talk, how dare we hit the prefect?"

  Fan Ying snorted, not as polite as before, and asked directly: "Why do you want to be a bandit if you can't even get enough to eat?"

  The middle-aged man sighed and said, "If you don't become a bandit, you won't even have this gruel."

   He said: "We didn't go to the bandits to do it, or we ran out of food at home. The Xiongnu soldiers were very vicious and robbed everything in the village. We had no choice, so we went out."

"My aunt's house is here, our father and son came to flee, but their family members died, so we buried them, lived in their house, and lived with the people in this village," he said: "It's just hunger. , so I couldn't help but go out to grab food."

   Actually, they were worried and didn't know what to do.

   "Before you came here, it was mentioned more than once outside that the newly appointed governor was cruel, and he was not allowed to rule out any gangsters, so he killed everyone he saw."

Fan Ying was annoyed, "Who spread the rumors? We envoys have a good heart, do you see, disarm and not kill, take the initiative to surrender to exonerate you, and give you medical treatment, is there a better inspector in this world than our envoy? ?"

"Yes, yes, I also think this news is unreliable, because I heard people say later that the bandit villages in other places are fine after being suppressed, and they are still farming in the original places," he asked cautiously: "Girl, Can someone like our father and son stay in this village?"

  Fan Ying frowned and looked at him, "Isn't your home from Sanshi Village, it's not far from here, why don't you go back to Yuan Village?"

   The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "The land in Sanshi Village is relatively poor, far less than here, and our village is already empty, we are sent back, and there are only three households."

Fan Ying turned her head down and flipped through the booklet, and found that the registered villagers of Sanshi Village actually had three households here, she closed the booklet expressionlessly, "I will mention this to the envoy, but the second rumor It is quite reliable, our envoy treats every commoner well, and we hope that you can repay the envoy."

  The middle-aged man repeatedly said "yes."

   Fan Ying brought the topic back and said to the young man who had just spoken, "Your cousin can eat so well as a bandit on that mountain, why don't you go?"

The young man was listening carefully to what they were saying, and his mind was still plowing in the same place. Hearing the words, "Ah", he quickly said, "I wanted to go, but they disliked me for being too thin and not strong enough, so they didn't want me. ."

  Fan Ying carefully looked at the other party, and it was indeed thin, but in this era, thinness is the main thing. Whoever is chubby is strange, how rich is that?

But seeing that he was still high enough to apply for this, Fan Ying frowned slightly and asked, "Then do you know where they get so much food? You never thought about learning from them and saving more food. Now that it's cold, will you need more and more food later?"

"Oh, we can't learn, they are directly robbing the fort," he said: "Most of the villages have a difficult life, and the big villages have built the fort. If it is not easy to rob, we can fight some. Biangu, unlike them, can rush directly into the dock to grab food."

   He said: "They robbed several docks, so there is no shortage of food to eat."

   Fan Ying thought, "Are there many of them?"

   "There must be many, at least three or four hundred people."

  The middle-aged man immediately said: "Not more, didn't we go to see when they attacked Chenjiawu Fort? I think there must be at least five or six hundred people."

   After Fan Ying asked around, the number of bandits on the mountain had risen from three or four hundred to three or four thousand.

  Fan Ying:  …

   Zhao Kuan couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and said happily: "This is similar to Erlang's 100,000 soldiers and horses."

   Fan Ying immediately closed the booklet with a "snap" and looked at him with a frown, "Why did the girl call you back, but left Sister Sun in Xiping instead?"

   Suspected that he went through the back door.

   Zhao Kuan: ... think he wants to come?

   Since returning to Zhao Hanzhang, which one has he slept peacefully?

   Zhao Kuan said with a serious face: "As long as you have what you need, let me go anywhere."

   Fan Ying was satisfied when she heard it, and invited him, "Let's go and report to the girl together."

   Zhao Kuan nodded solemnly, and after Fan Ying took a step forward, he showed a helpless expression behind her. Who didn't know that Fan Ying admired Zhao Hanzhang so much, and who dared to speak ill of Zhao Hanzhang in front of her, she would find someone to trouble her afterwards.

   went round and round, from Runan County to Yuzhou Governor's House, Fan Ying was still in charge of Hufang. Zhao Kuan now said that he was a partial general, but in the army, he was doing logistics, and he needed to deal with Hufang the most.

  The two went to Zhao Hanzhang to report together.

   Zhao Hanzhang flipped through Fan Ying's booklet and heard her talk about the various information collected today, he couldn't help sighing, "People's livelihood is difficult, we have a long way to go."

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Kuan, "Do you know why I asked you to be this general?"

   Zhao Kuan was slightly stunned.
