The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 362 Mr. Shen has always been far-sighted

Hejian County.

Ye Gong is still very busy recently. As the sheriff of a county, there are too many things to deal with. One is to ensure the stability of Hejian County, and the other is to improve the prosperity of Hejian County. .

At the same time, those cities in Hejian County, including the newly reclaimed farmland, have to keep up. Now the food in Xinguo is obviously not enough. Although Linchuan County was rich in food before, the food in Linchuan County needs to be supplied. Pingyuan County, Hejian County, and Linchuandong County are already struggling to support themselves. They must take advantage of this year to reclaim farmland, and wait until the next year to plant the seeds and have food production. Only then can the overall situation of maintaining stability be completed.

For ordinary people, having food to eat is more important than anything else. As long as there is food to eat, no people are willing to rebel, and at the same time, public sentiment can steadily rise.

The soil in Hejian County is more fertile than that in Linchuan County. The plains along the river are very suitable for growing crops.

The second one is the development of the shipbuilding industry. Ye Gong is also paying attention to it all the time. After all, it was His Majesty who spoke in person. As a county guard, can he not care?
The third is the exploration of resource points in Hejian County. This is also quite important. For example, what mines, salt fields, and forest farms exist in Hejian County. These resource points need to be excavated and developed to meet the development needs of Xinguo.

The fourth one is the water thieves running rampant on the river. Now these water thieves have become a little rampant. They dare to attack the cities along the river. The water county has reported this situation before, and these water thieves will also loot Trade cargo ships on the water, and water thieves will also become a problem for the development of Hejian County in the future.

The fifth step is to build dams, dig ditches, and various water control projects. Basically, Ye Gong went to the river bank to inspect, and he found that there was a big problem in Hejian County, and that was River problem.

If the river is calm and the waves are calm during normal times, then naturally there will be no problem with the land along the banks of the river, but if there is a flood one day, the violent flood will instantly turn the surrounding land into a country of rivers and swamps, and it will be reclaimed at that time. All the fertile fields will be destroyed.

Therefore, the water conservancy project in Hejian County is a matter that also needs to be put on the agenda. It can even be said that if this kind of thing is to be prevented from happening in the future, the water control project is a very huge project, which may take more than ten years. It will take tens of thousands of gold to completely solve the flood in Pingyuan County.

However, the immediate priority is to stabilize the situation.

In addition to this, Ye Gong needed to practice his troops, but unfortunately, Hejian County's troops were not much, only [-] soldiers, and the rest of the troops were all transferred away to prepare for a decisive battle with Wan Kingdom.

At this moment, Ye Gong was looking at the county situation sent from various counties, as well as the battle reports sent from the border.

"It's been such a troubled time. I don't know when this war will end."

Ye Gong sighed, and a civil official who followed Ye Gong asked, "Why are you sighing? Now that our new country is so powerful, shouldn't we be happy?"

Ye Gong put aside the battle report: "The water overflows when it is full, and the moon waxes and wanes. I am worried that your majesty will fall into the constant fanaticism for war. You must know that the territory of the new country is completely beyond the strength of our new country. Okay, all the troops put together are not even a hundred thousand troops. These troops are too reluctant to guard the three counties of Hejian, Pingyuan, and Linchuandong. If the war breaks out after Pingyuan County is captured, I am afraid that new wars will begin. The country is in danger, and its collapse can only happen in a blink of an eye."

"So that's the case, sir, will you stop it?"

"It will be written at that time."

Ye Gong smiled: "Maybe I'm too pessimistic."

"No way, Mr. Shen has always been prepared for the rainy day and has a long-term vision."

Ye Gong continued to look at the information from the counties, and through the monthly account books and conditions of each county, he could basically deduce the situation of the county.

"I'm afraid the food sent from Linchuan County will not be able to last through this winter. By then, many people in Hejian County will die. I will write a letter later and continue to ask for food."

While discussing government affairs, suddenly, a soldier hurried in from outside.

"Master Shen, Master Shen, something happened!"

"What's the matter?"

"Ban County and several county towns have rebelled and rebelled!"

"what?!"

On Ye Gong's side, his face immediately sank.

"Why rebel?"

"The reason is unknown for the time being. There are many cities in Hejian County, all of which rebelled directly. Even the county magistrate has been kidnapped, and the humble post is the latest news."

Ye Gong stood up and quickly ordered: "Order to gather all the soldiers, and I will personally lead the troops. Zhengyi, you will take my place temporarily."

"Yes."

The civil servant clasped his fists.

Ye Gong went out directly, changed his clothes, put on his armor, and put on his armor. Soldiers outside had already brought horses. In the barracks outside Yun County, those soldiers gathered immediately after receiving the order.

Ye Gong took up his weapon, and after summoning the soldiers, he went directly to Ban County.

Three thousand cavalry, carrying smoke and dust, ran wildly all the way.

Ye Gong chose Yun County as the city of Hejian County, which was the county seat of Yeguo at the beginning. This county is located in the center of Hejian County, which is the most convenient.

Ban County is located at the southern end of Hejian County. It is a city that has been ravaged by Tian Dan and Lu Zhonglian many times before. It is also a city with low popularity, but it was later pulled up by Ye Gong.

Arriving at Ban County, Ye Gong directly led his troops to fight in, fighting all the way to the county government office. He encountered some rebels on the way. Unfortunately, these rebels did not have much fighting power. Compared with the regular army of the New Kingdom, they were simply scum.

Rushing to the county government office, all the soldiers killed the rebels inside and rescued the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was imprisoned in the prison, and when he saw Ye Gong coming over, he immediately clasped his fists in thanks.

"Meet the prefect."

"Forget it, why did the mutiny happen?"

The county magistrate said directly: "My lord, a lobbyist came to see me the day before yesterday and wanted me to rebel against the new country. I didn't listen, but I don't know what tactics the lobbyist used to incite public opinion and make the people want to overthrow. I became a traitor."

"A lobbyist?"

Ye Gong narrowed his eyes: "Where did it come from?"

"Pin country."

This time, Ye Gong understood clearly, the rebellion in those counties of Hejian County this time was all premeditated by Pin Guo, and some counties in Hejian County were indeed relatively low in popularity and prone to rebellion.

These rebellions are indeed nothing in a short period of time, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but if they are left alone, they will develop and grow stronger after a long time, and they will be equivalent to another Qinglongzhai.

Moreover, Duke Ye was indeed busy instigating so many city rebellions at once.

"Order to thoroughly investigate all lobbyists in Hejian County, and let the border customs strictly investigate. Once you encounter a lobbyist literati, don't worry about whether you are suspected or not, arrest me first!"

"Yes!"
