Chapter 29: Forced Incorporation of Bian County

 The dawn breaks in the east, and the morning light is dim.

"drive!"

Tao Ying handed over everything behind him to several temporarily appointed "aftermath captains", and led some of the cavalry and infantry back to Bian County with murderous intent.

Tao Ying rushed towards Bian County, paying attention to the refugees rushing toward the town of Huangxiang, and had already figured out the situation in Bian County.

"This time, the only thing left is to accept Bian County."

Tao Ying ignored the food when he met. He was in a hurry to rush back, fearing that he would be too late to miss the food. The refugees who divided the land rushed towards Bian County.

...

The facts are as Tao Ying thought.

As the Yellow Turban bandits surrendered in the town of Huangxiang, the Yellow Turban bandits who had originally besieged Bian County, most of them chose to put down their weapons except for a small number of them who followed the "leader's brother" to Taishan County.

Tao Ying had promised them that after they re-registered their identity information, they would divide the land, grain and house.

Tao Ying had already explained that he would expand every fort around Bian County into a new village for refugees to live in.

With such good news, the Yellow Turban bandits besieging Bian County instantly collapsed and the county was in danger.

"The governor of Tao County came to Bian County for rescue. Tens of thousands of people in Bian County were grateful for the charity of the governor. Please accept a prayer from Zou and others."

The magistrate Bian, who had been worried for a day and a night, and the large households and the people in the city who were in panic all day long, felt relieved and left the city to welcome Tao Ying.

"Thank you all for your hard work, let's enter the city together, and I will follow the future of Bian County, and I will discuss with you."

Tao Ying did not entrust him, so he dismounted and helped the county magistrate Bian and the wealthy families who came with him.

After entering the city, the people in the city who had survived the disaster cheered in the streets and Tao Ying entered the county government office. After sitting down, he was straight to the point.

"This time, Bian County suffered a disaster, and Lu County was not willing to rescue, and Qiao County was even more out of reach. Instead, Bian County and our Taishan County depended on each other."

"Therefore, the minister decided to merge Bian County, which was covered with water, to the jurisdiction of Taishan County. At the same time, refugees were placed in Bian County and farmed for the people."

The magistrate of Bian County was named Zou. He was born into the Zou family, one of the five major surnames in his country. He was a weak scholar. Tao Ying had never heard of his name, so he spoke a little more strongly.

"Of course, if the magistrate of Bian County has doubts, you can leave Bian County and go to Lu County to report to Lu Prime Minister Chen Yi, or go to Qiao County to report to Yuzhou Governor Huang Wan."

Receiving Bian County was Tao Ying's established strategy, so he would not discuss it with the magistrate of Bian County, so his words were naturally unquestionable.

"This is the order that cannot be decided."

After a little thoughtfulness and not wanting to take risks, the magistrate Bian handed over the black ribbon seal and took a few servants to leave Bian County and return to his hometown in Lu County.

However, most of the Bian County officials stayed and were under the jurisdiction of Taishan County.

Of course, for these local officials, whether Bian County returns to Yuzhou or Yanzhou, they are all for making a living, and there is no difference in essence.

"Lord, this County Magistrate Bian is indispensable!"

Seeing Tao Ying returning to Weixiangcheng with the Bian County seal and the Sword, Sun Guan knew that Bian County had become annexed to Taishan County, so he had to pay attention to someone who managed the current large amount of money and grain.

After all, they are almost all in multiple positions and are weak in their clones.

Moreover, this County Magistrate Bian is not a fat man, but a hot potato.

"I have to find someone who can withstand the pressure and make all parties feel at ease to be appointed as the magistrate of Bian County."

Tao Ying understood Sun Guan’s meaning.

Sun Guan and others were not afraid of trouble and dared to take charge of Bian County, but were worried that they were too sensitive to their background, which would cause trouble for Tao Ying.

"Who are you looking for?"

To pass the current level of strengthening the Bian County, Tao Ying had to choose someone who could not rebound from Lu and fool Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou. Even if the court heard the news, it would not make things too difficult for him.

"Hiss, it's hard to find such a person for a while!"

Time is too hasty, Tao Ying himself has no connections, and it is not easy to find those who meet the conditions.

"Lord, this Lu State is the hometown of Confucius, and there are many talents. It should not be difficult to recruit a county magistrate."

Looking at Tao Ying's helpless look, Sun Kang couldn't help but remind Tao Ying.

"The hometown of Confucius? Great talent?"

After hearing Sun Kang's words, Tao Ying was stunned.

"Sage Confucius, Confucius, Confucius, Confucius..."

Tao Ying, with a blank look, looked at Sun Kang with unfocused eyes and muttered to himself. He felt that he had missed something.

"Yes, Kong Rong!"

Tao Ying slapped his forehead suddenly and finally remembered that he had forgotten Kong Rong, the most famous leader of the Kong family in this era, that is, Kong Wenju, who later became the Prime Minister of Beihai and was killed by Cao Cao.

Moreover, Tao Ying knew that at this time, Kong Rong, who had resigned, happened to be unemployed at home in Lu County.

"Lord, do you want to recruit Kong Wenju as the magistrate of Bian County?"

Seeing Tao Ying mentioning Kong Rong's face, Sun Guan thought Tao Ying wanted Kong Rong to come out of the mountain.

"How is it possible? I have a more suitable candidate than Kong Wenju!"

Kong Rong's worth is there. Even if he wants to be an official, he will not be a small county magistrate. It is not a politeness, but an insult.

"Don't say that the cheap dad can't get over it, even my brother doesn't want to humiliate himself!"

Tao Ying, who had already chosen someone in his heart, did not explain to everyone who stared at him with curiosity, but directly issued an order.

"Zhongtai, temporarily hand over everything from Bian County to Botai. You will immediately bring all the corresponding money and grain, lead your own troops, and go north from Bian County to each of your own territory."

"Botai, you, the Nanwu Yang Order, will be in the remote control and command of the territory in Weixiangcheng for the time being. When the new Bian County Magistrate arrives, you will return to Nanwu Yang again."

"Wenheng, prepare horses and dry food, and return to Nancheng with me."

———

Taishan County. Nancheng County.

After Tao Ying led his troops away, Mi Fang immediately implemented Tao Ying's established policies in Nancheng County and Fei County, and carried out a vigorous land division and farming campaign.

He also took the guards he brought out from his family as the backbone and led his troops to Yangting and Taiting to persuade the Yellow Turban bandits and the Taishan bandits.

"Mi County Magistrate, why did your subordinates not only not distribute the land to my Yang family, but instead wanted to take back the land of my Yang family?"

He looked at Mi Fang's sheep secret with anger and asked Mi Fang loudly.

The Yang family is a famous family in Dongyang City, Nancheng County. Not only did they have officials for several generations, but even now, the head of the family, Yang Xu, is the prefect of Nanyang.

This is also the reason why Mi Fang came to Dongyang City in person, and it is also the reason why she was questioned by Yang Secret and did not use a knife.

"I wonder how many fields in the Yang family have been recycled?"

At first, Mi Fang didn't know that there were famous families like Yang's family under his rule. The government decree issued by Tao Ying to use swords against all the surviving powerful and wealthy families in the jurisdiction, so Yang's family caught up.

"A lot, a total of fifty acres."

Yang Yao, the second son of Yang family, who was standing next to her elder brother Yang Mi, responded.

Fifty acres of land are all the things that Yang family relies on for survival. If they do not have these fields, Yang family will starve to death.

"What? So..."

Mi Fang's word "小" was swallowed by him.

"A family of officials, there are less than 17 or 8 people, and it is really rare to have only a small amount of land!"

While Mi Fang sighed inwardly, her smiling eyes looked back and forth on the faces of the Yang brothers.

"It is a disadvantage for the subordinates of this order to do things, and this order will immediately return them to the Yang family's land."

After the matter was resolved, Mi Fang turned around and left, and he still had a lot to do.

"no!"

Mi Fang didn't take two steps, and a crisp and sweet voice came from behind him.

“That’s not enough!”

Mi Fang stopped and turned around and saw a girl standing tall with her long body, her eyes as autumn water, her face as carved snow, her skin being frosty, and her face was beautiful.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be angry and angry, and her small mouth was slightly pouting, and she was indescribably cute and charming.

"What else can I do to teach a girl?"

Mi Fang swallowed secretly. Although the woman in front of her was not as beautiful as her own girl, she was more agile.

"Mi County Magistrate, are you greedy for other fields of the Yang family?"

The woman was not afraid of Mi Fang and the soldiers who were staring behind her.

"Miss, don't talk nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fang's face suddenly became gloomy. He would never tolerate slandering himself just because the girl in front of him was beautiful.

If this came to Tao Ying's ears, it would not only be sad, but Mi might also be swept out by Tao Ying.

"Wenji, don't talk nonsense."

Another woman, who was a woman with a good appearance and a few years older than the woman, came over and hurriedly pulled the woman, and looked at Mi Fang and his soldiers with beautiful eyes worriedly.

"According to the rule of Tao Prefect, Yang's family has 18 people of all sizes and sizes. If they are divided into 180 mu of land, the original 50 mu of Yang's family should also compensate the 130 mu of land for Yang's family. Why didn't the magistrate Mi just mentioned it?"

The girl ignored the woman's dissuasion and still expressed her doubts.

"Uh, this..."

After hearing the girl's questioning, Mi Fang's face was replaced by a hint of embarrassment.

The reason why he readily agreed to return the Yang brothers to the land and was that he didn't want to spend a hundred acres of land for the Yang family. Unexpectedly, it was discovered.

"Haha, Zifang, you're really losing a little rice this time!"

Tao Ying, who had been listening to her for a while, took Yan Liang in.
