As time went by, even though the flames of war had not yet reached Xilin County, the atmosphere of being always ready to deal with the enemy became more and more intense.

Ji Xuanhe's worries were not unfounded, and he was not alone in thinking so. Other officials and wealthy households either did this spontaneously or followed him to follow suit.The stronger one's own ability, the greater the chance of saving one's life.Today is no different than before, with wars burning everywhere, how risky is it to run across the battlefield to the safety of the Jin Dynasty?If they had this ability, they would have stopped living in Xilin County a long time ago. There are so many prosperous places, and any one they choose is much better than Xilin County.

Ji Xuanhe had taught the villagers how to make low-quality bows and arrows and simple sticks and other weapons before. The villagers also knew that no matter what, few of them could afford such things as knives and guns. No problem.

Ji Xuanhe said that after he gave the instructions, he decided not to urge them anymore and let the villagers do their best. They couldn't let go completely, and sent their officers to inspect every once in a while.The guards circled around, and the news they sent back was not bad. As for whether it was perfunctory or not, Ji Xuanhe didn't bother to care about it. He didn't pay attention to himself. It's good that he didn't encounter trouble. It was terrible, they asked for it themselves, and he couldn't afford to take responsibility for it.Ji Xuanhe is only the magistrate of the county, and the matter of preventing bandits from coming to the enemy is not within his jurisdiction. He has fulfilled his responsibility by being able to prevent people in advance.

There are many servants of Ji's family, and the only ones who are truly capable of fighting against others are the servants who live in Ji's mansion. Others, such as the servants in the farm shop, Ji Xuanhe has no hard and fast rules, and they usually have to There are a lot of busy work, and there are very few free time to exercise.

Therefore, although most of the guards of Ji's family are servants from Grange Shop, their combined force may not be as powerful as that of Ji's house servants.In addition to excellent equipment, the personal strength improved by training in a short period of time is obviously not as good as that accumulated by long-term training.The two can be distinguished from the spirit, energy and spirit alone, especially those guards who are originally responsible for guarding, they are all too strong. to stress.

The same goes for Ji Xuan and himself. Since he got better, he has never stopped improving his military strength. In the past, there were not many county government affairs, and the school grounds were the places he must go every day. He has always been in the upper class. His physique, his decisive killing from the end of the world, and the occasional indifference to everything in his eyes, if he is accidentally bumped into by someone, it will probably frighten children.Fortunately, Ji Xuanhe has been in Jinchao for more than ten years, and the indifference brought by the apocalypse has been dissipated a lot. If he was replaced by his appearance when he first arrived in Jinchao, not to mention a child, adults would also be frightened Enough.

Ji Xuanhe has restrained his temper now, giving people the illusion of being gentle and easy to get along with.Actually speaking, this is not an illusion. Ji Xuanhe has a good temper. As long as his bottom line is not violated, he will just laugh it off most of the time. Of course, it is impossible for him to treat them without any grudges. Yes, it's just that he doesn't bother to argue with these people.If something really happened, the people who were kind to him and had nothing to do with him would definitely be given priority.Don't think it's a small belly, people, they have some tempers, they are unfriendly to him, and they have to be friendly to them. There is no such good thing in the world. It should be their luck that Ji Xuanhe didn't directly ignore these people .

Ji Xuanhe is an official, and unlike the nursing home, he adheres to the principle that peace is the most important thing. If he always exudes an aura of keeping people away from others, it is like a light bulb with hundreds of watts that constantly emits light and heat. Well, it's not good for him to be too eye-catching. On the contrary, it's easier to do things with a kind skin, and it's easier to confuse others. It's much less difficult to do things.

Of course, this degree must be grasped well, and it is not enough to give people a feeling of harmony, appropriate majesty is a must.The longer the time, the more the officials of the county government will realize that the young magistrate of Ji is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If he wants to do evil under his nose, then he hopes that he will never be caught. Otherwise, what awaits them can only be a miserable end.

Shao Yunchen is a pure Jinchao person. He has encountered a lot of hardships since he was a child, and his temper is a bit cold. He hates those who betray their masters who eat inside and outside. He is more suitable to deal with the issue of servants.After all, Ji Xuanhe used to live in the modern era that emphasizes equality and openness. Even if he has long been accustomed to being served by servants, it would be really difficult for him if he wanted to treat his servants exactly like the people of Jin Dynasty. If so, he would not be Ji Xuan reconciled, and his experience in modern times was completely wiped out.Such a thing, as long as Ji Xuanhe still has modern memories, it is unlikely to happen to him.

The effect of Ji Xuanhe's previous control of grain trading is obvious. It has been half a month since the conscription order was issued, grain prices are properly controlled, and everyone can buy enough grain to survive. In addition, there are guards constantly patrolling the streets. So far, there has been no A food looting incident occurred.The counties near Xilin County don't have such a good environment, and the county officials won't care about it until the situation is serious enough.

The situation in each county is different, and the degree of price hikes by grain merchants is also different.The situation in some counties is more serious, and the grain merchants are very shrewd. The price of grain has risen, but the rate of increase is within the range of the common people, and it has not risen to the point where people and gods are indignant.If that is the case, as long as the magistrate is not stupid, he will come forward to control, the people under the rule will be unstable, the law and order will be chaotic, and it will not be good for the officials. Before the situation can be controlled, no official will foolishly control the place under his jurisdiction Make people miserable.

King An had long wanted to fight for the throne, and he was strict with his fiefdom management. Some moths had already been dismissed by him with various excuses, and those who remained until now, not to mention how capable they were, at least they were not so indistinguishable from right from wrong. , Regardless of the severity of the person.Although there are good and bad emergency response capabilities, the basic truth is that the situation in the counties is still under control.

Ji Xuanhe may not be much better than them. No one who can serve as a parent officer for a long time is a stupid person.One of the reasons for the current situation is that Ji Xuanhe had the foresight, and the main reason is that the officials of the Xilin County government are united. Do your best.With such a powerful county government, how can merchants dare not cooperate?

Besides, Ji Xuanhe was very measured and would not say that he would contribute the money and food of the big households. He only sold grain at a limited price at normal grain shops, which was still within the tolerance of grain merchants.What's more, this kind of thing happened once when the grassland tribes came to attack. The first time was raw and the second time was familiar. Now the grain merchants and guards are very familiar with the operation.

Ji Xuanhe didn't take care of everything, except for food, the people had the final say on the rest, otherwise, if the management was too lenient, it would be annoying.

Ji Xuanhe looked at the booklet in his hand, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward.Interesting, really interesting, he only conveyed the suggestion of self-organized guards and self-equipped weapons within the entire county of Xilin County. Unexpectedly, the people implemented it so thoroughly. There is not enough manpower, and even spares are prepared. Oh, the people in Xilin County are too cute, it really feels like all the people are soldiers.

Don't underestimate these wooden weapons, and the wooden spears with sharpened ends should not be underestimated either. When people are not prepared, they can easily kill people.Ji Xuanhe couldn't figure it out, you said that if you were unprepared and attacked by enemy soldiers, it would be reasonable to be unarmed.He has been fighting outside for a long time, and he is not prepared at all, so he doesn't know what to say.If you can't afford ironware, can't you afford simple wooden spears?

Ji Xuanhe is not a general, and the news from the front line would not have reached him unless he was specifically informed by his superiors. It is conceivable that the information he can get is very little, and he can only guess the general situation based on some clues.The war has lasted for more than half a month. So far, the counties and towns around Xilin County are still safe and sound. Presumably, the battle situation is not as tragic as imagined, at least King An can still handle it.

When soldiers participated in the war, the logistics supply had to rely on magistrates like Ji Xuanhe and even magistrates.Compared with soldiers, the burden of local parents and officials has not been much easier.Not long after the war started, taxes were raised by [-]%, especially food taxes, which cannot be replaced by money. There are also rigid regulations on other commercial taxes, and many taxes must be handed over in kind directly.

During the war, the price of goods inevitably soared. Even if Xilin County had seasonal announcements and adjustments, in the end, food prices still rose at a visible speed.People in the surrounding counties and towns stockpile a large amount of grain, and they can buy as much grain as they can. Grain merchants' grain stocks are constantly decreasing, and the supply cannot keep up. Naturally, grain prices are like a roller coaster. .If the food in Xilin County does not increase accordingly, people from other counties will come to Xilin County to buy food, and a large number of people from other counties will enter the country, and Ji Xuanhe will not be able to drive them away. In this way, Xilin County will have to bear this heavy burden How could Ji Xuanhe make such a serious mistake?

Grain prices were forced to rise accordingly, and Ji Xuanhe didn't hold back. He negotiated with the grain merchants in Xilin County. When the time comes when the people in the city have a food shortage, it's when the grain merchants are effective and don't have to pay much. It can earn a good reputation from the people in the city, and they are happy to see it.

At this time, the life of the farmers is much better than that of the people in the city.Although farmers work hard on weekdays and are constantly busy throughout the year, they earn very little money and their life is not as glamorous as the people in the city, but there is one thing that the people in the city can't compare to, that is, food storage.As long as the family has spare money, the cellar of the granary is full of grain.It was not the case for the people in the city. It would be good if they could have food for a few months.Xilin County is also quite special. Under Ji Xuanhe's proposition, grain merchants set a price limit and sell grain in limited quantities, and the people in the city have money but have no place to spend it.

If you are poor, you will change and you will succeed. The matter of storing grain is similar to this.Ji Xuanhe's arrangement caused many people to go to nearby counties and towns to buy in groups, which invisibly squeezed the living space of people in other counties and towns.When Ji Xuanhe knew about it, he was silent for a while, then left it alone.

Life is like this, even normal business competition, in the final analysis, is the same as this incident, peeling off the glamor on the surface, there is also a cruel reality inside.If your family's business is good, other people's business will be bad. One person's prosperity may require sacrificing many people. It is difficult to realize such an idealized dream of real common prosperity.Human survival is like this, and it is ultimately reflected in the competition between people, which no one can avoid.
