Along the way, Li Baihu said a lot of good things to Cheng Qing in front of Lang Qianhu.

Lang Qianhu is skeptical.

The top scorer who passed the sixth yuan was very good, but Cheng Qing was not old and was a genius in the science exam, so it does not mean that he was familiar with ordinary affairs.

Li Baihu went to Qianhuyuan and might have to rescue Mr. Cheng who was in trouble when he returned.

Lang Qianhu came to Hong County with suspicion of Cheng Qing, and some refugees who had changed their clothes were entering the city.

Everything was in order, and Hong County was not in chaos in Cheng Qing's hands.

On the contrary, the refugees were honest and assigned to Feng Dianshi and the yamen runners, doing whatever they wanted, without any complaints.

Lang Qianhu secretly praised him.

The two of them rode around Hongxian for a while, and they were in a heavy mood.

The city walls of Hong County have been disrepaired for many years and have collapsed several places.

Now not only Cheng Qing wants to scold people, but even Lang Qianhu wants to beat the magistrate of Hong County.

He really has no sense of crisis!

The chaos of the long scarf thieves was not something that happened this month.

Although Hong County does not belong to Huainan area and is closer to Huainan, if the magistrate of Hong County has a sense of crisis, he should call on the civilians to repair the collapsed city wall before the long scarf thief has arrived. If he has spare energy, he will strengthen and raise the city wall. The current city wall in Hong County is only more than two meters high, which is the city gate.

The lowest point is less than two feet.

At such a height, how can we resist the attack of the long scarf thief?

The magistrate of Hong County has neither the ability to accommodate refugees outside the city nor the sense of crisis. He only cares about being a turtle with his head. One day, the long scarf soldiers will come to the city. What kind of enemy is Hong County to defend against the enemy... An official cannot simply evaluate whether he is greedy or not. Cheng Qing said that a clean official who does not understand common affairs does not do anything in his position. That is really a blunt knife to cut his flesh, which is a headache!

"Mr. Cheng, this city wall cannot be kept."

Although Lang Qianhu felt that Cheng Qing was more capable than he thought, Lang Qianhu was quite discouraged after judging the actual situation.

There are only so many troops in Hong County.

All thousand soldiers are in the thousand households.

Cheng Qing brought more than 300 soldiers in Hong County to escort.

There were nearly a thousand people in the yamen runners, inspectors and civilians in Hong County.

Lang Qianhu went to Gaoli to estimate that in addition to the rated soldiers of the guard, he could gather 500 more troops, and the total number was less than 3,000!

With just a few people, how can we face the 50,000 army of the long scarf thief?

Lang Qianhu was determined to retreat.

Cheng Qing pointed to the refugees who were entering the city, "Why can't you defend it? In addition to regular soldiers, there are also these people. We can also recruit additional soldiers in Hong County. The county's wealthy family, who doesn't raise healthy servants, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, it's time for them to work hard!"

Lang Qianhu thought about it and it was right.

The long scarf thief hasn't arrived yet, and Hongxian still has time to prepare.

If there are not enough troops, you will be conquered.

The soldiers conquered must naturally be raised by the rich gentry and households.

The first thing Changwu Thief broke through Hong County was to kill officials and rich families. Everyone was grasshoppers on the same rope, wanting to hide at home and wait for Cheng Qing to work hard to protect him, dreaming!

It is heartbreaking to pay money and grain, but Cheng Qing cannot run away all the rich gentry and households. It is better than to fall into the hands of the long scarf thief.

The more Lang Qianhu thought about it, the happier he became: "Sir, there are many squire and landlords living in the countryside, look--"

Cheng Qing was serious, "It depends on whether all the gentry and men cherish their lives. I am willing to protect them and give them two days to transfer their family wealth and family to the county town."

Going to the city requires money to buy a road.

Cheng Qing asked Feng Dianshi to send yamen runners to various villages in Hong County to inform the news that Changqian thief was coming. She estimated that it would be safer at least two days left. The villagers could hide after getting the news in advance, without having to face the looting of Changqian thief.

Some property will definitely be lost, and it is better to save your life than anything else.

If the villagers have relatives and friends in the county town, Cheng Qing welcomes them to join us. If you have more strong men, Cheng Qing will be happier.

If there are no relatives and friends in the county town to join us, we have to find a way to settle it. The gates of Hong County are open to the villagers, but Cheng Qing cannot afford to buy food and accommodation for so many people!

At the same time, Cheng Qing also sent someone to repair the city walls in Hong County.

She has no worries about manpower, and more than 2,000 civilians from the grain transport team are also idle, and it is just right to send them to repair and reinforce the city walls.

"There is easy to handle. How should adults solve the materials for repairing the city wall?"

Lang Qianhu felt that it was too late to open a kiln and burn bricks now.

Cheng Qing is more optimistic: "It is easy to build bricks on the city wall, and it will be donated by the rich gentry and households."

Which gentry's house would pile up many bricks unless... no, Lord Cheng is not old and is so skillful in doing things?

Cheng Qing answered the questions raised by Lang Qianhu. As long as the Changshaw thief's troops were not more than 10,000, there was still a great hope of defending Hong County.

There is only one possibility that the Changqian thief came to Hongxian County. The Changqian thief was defeated in Huaian City and fled back to his old nest Huainan, and passed through Hongxian to plunder supplies.

Since it is a way, it will not stay for too long. If Hong County can be defended for one or two days, the long scarf thief will naturally give up!

When Cheng Qing then "recommended" Rong Jiu, who had tied the head on the city wall, to Lang Qianhu, Lang Qianhu looked at Cheng Qing with even more admiration.

It's amazing.

Governor Shi’s relatives dared to take hostages. No wonder Lord Cheng controlled the magistrate of Hong County as soon as he arrived in Hong County.

Lord Cheng really dares to think and do...

Lang Qianhu tried hard not to see Young Master Rongjiu's embarrassment.

In order to convince Lang Qianhu, Cheng Qing also focused on how much Mr. Rongjiu's sister was valued in the Governor's Office. If Governor Shi could free up his hands, he would definitely save Rongjiu.

Rong Jiu's eyes looked like he was going to swallow Cheng Qing alive.

Cheng Qing is not afraid of him.

In order to avoid Rongjiu running away, he ordered someone to tie Rongjiu a few more ropes, and there was no need to treat Rongjiu preferentially. Just give some food occasionally to ensure that Rongjiu can't starve to death!

...

Under Cheng Qing's arrangement, the people in Hong County were told that the Changshaw Thief was coming, and the people were naturally panicked, but Cheng Qing was prepared and several riots were suppressed.

A wealthy family was panicked and wanted to escape with their families and important property before the thief arrived in Hong County.

I don’t believe that Cheng Qing can defend Hong County!

Cheng Qing did not advise anyone who did not believe in him.

People who left Hong County may run into the long scarf thief head-on, or they may not encounter the long scarf thief and escape successfully.

This is a personal choice, life and death depend on fate!

Cheng Qing let the rich man go out of the city, turned around and asked someone to tear down the escaped rich man's house, and took all the bricks he had removed to repair the collapsed city wall... Cheng Qing's approach was simple and rough. Everyone ran away, and the house was temporarily empty. Anyway, no one lived there, so he would donate it to defend the city.

If Hong County is broken, the wealthy family can't stand it. After the war, they all gave up their houses and fled. When they came back, they saw that the houses were gone, they should be acceptable, right?

There is nothing I can do if I don’t accept it. Cheng Qing had already left Hong County at that time.

Those who escaped were unwilling to believe Cheng Qing, and such people were unwilling to pay money and grain to defend the city. Cheng Qing demolished the other party's house without any pressure.

This move shocked the rich families in the city. Lord Cheng was gentle and handsome, but his path was so wild, which scared the rich gentry and the rich families who took the initiative to ask Feng Dianshi to pledge them.

In two days, many villagers rushed in from Hong County and also accommodated all the refugees outside the city. They also repaired the originally collapsed city wall. So many mouths were pointed at Cheng Qing for dinner. Cheng Qing's 20,000 stones of disaster relief food not only did not decrease, but also a lot more.

The magistrate of Hong County cried loudly after learning about this.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to repair the city wall, but that he can’t afford the money.
