The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Another good news came from the yamen, and the people who escorted the goods destroyed two more bandit dens. When the news came, Xu Bei followed someone to have a look.

The existence of these bandits has always been an annoyance to those in power. It would be overkill to use the army to solve them. Moreover, these bandits hide in the mountains and learn by themselves without a teacher. Get up, wait for the officers and soldiers to retreat, and then continue to come out to rob the passing merchant cavalry.

Especially in the mountains and forests in the north, these bandits have been banned repeatedly, which also forced the bodyguard bureaus everywhere to have a good relationship with these bandit dens, and always be filial, so that their bodyguard teams can successfully complete their tasks. The default unspoken rules in an industry.

So Xu Bei wanted to break this pattern, and it was quite effective.

The local government sent special personnel to collect these bandits, and they were also polite to Xu Bei. Without the bandits, the area where they ruled would be more politically sound and harmonious, which is beneficial to both of them.Not all bandits have a limit, and some not only set their sights on passing merchants, but also rob nearby ordinary people, and even rich households.

Xu Bei greeted the government officials for a while, and was very happy to see the gold and silver property found from the bandits' lair. After making it into an account book, he kept part of it for the local government, and the rest was shipped to the palace. It will naturally be beneficial to the government's yamen at that time, otherwise how can it motivate subordinates to work hard.

The two dens that were destroyed this time were not small, and more than ten thousand taels of gold and silver were seized. Xu Bei personally escorted them to the palace and sent the account books to the Fourth Young Master, as well as some other property.

Seeing Wan Qiu beside the Fourth Young Master again, Xu Bei's expression became a little weird when he thought of Min Qing's words that night.

Don't tell me, I don't know, once someone exposes it, Xu Bei sees the two people's eye contact, which is more indescribable than others. It really is like what Min Qing said, there is a big female relationship between the two .

Xu Bei couldn't help but looked up and glanced again and again, so that the corners of the four young masters twitched. He closed the account book and asked, "How about the casualties this time?"

Xu Bei said sternly: "They are all veterans with rich experience. Those bandits who robbed houses are no match for their skills. No one died. Only two brothers were seriously injured, and 16 others were slightly injured. A doctor has been arranged for treatment, and good wound medicine has been used." The veterans assigned to their yamen are still training every day, and they are commanded by retired generals, so they have the confidence to deal with those rebels.

The fourth young master nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good, you go and get 1000 taels of silver to reward them."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Xu Bei knew this a long time ago, he followed the order, turned around and walked out.

Wan Qiushi looked at the back of Xu Bei's leaving, thinking that he had glanced at himself before leaving, speechlessly twitching the corners of his eyes.

The fourth young master couldn't help laughing out loud, took Wan Qiushi's hand and said, "It seems that Min Qing called him, and I don't know when he will find out what Min Qing is thinking."

Wan Qiushi was still a little unaccustomed to being intimate with him, his cheeks flushed slightly, and when he heard what Xu Minqing was thinking, he looked up curiously and said, "I don't know if you don't tell me, Xu Minqing would actually treat him like that." Big brother has such thoughts, no wonder the relationship between them is so good." He is not a person without an elder brother, but after his elder brother got married, the two spent less time together, and even before that, they did not live together like these two brothers sticky together.

It is also fortunate that the two are not biological brothers and have no blood relationship, otherwise Wan Qiushi would feel weird.

The fourth son smiled, it was that Xu Minqing had never concealed his thoughts about his elder brother in front of him, why he did this, the fourth son also understood very well, I have to say, as the only son of the third son of Jiang, Xu Minqing is indeed very smart Very, very ambitious, but he never concealed his ambition, and his ambition was simple and clear, not for money or profit, just to have enough strength to protect the two brothers.

"Xu Bei, a big fool, can't escape Min Qing's grasp. The more he hides now, the more it shows that he lacks confidence." The fourth son laughed even harder when he said this. Usually, Xu Bei is so active and willing to leave. His precious brother went to the bandit den to check it out for himself.

After dealing with the affairs in the yamen and comforting the injured, Xu Bei returned home. Seeing that Min Qing was getting along with him as usual, he was relieved, put his troubles behind him, and patted him on the shoulder indifferently. Laughing hard, but what is the difference?

The careers of Xu Bei and Xu Minqing are going well, and the Northland is becoming more and more prosperous. The name of Prince Xiao's Mansion spreads as sweet potatoes and other crops spread to the Southland. The forces opposed the imperial court and even discredited the imperial court, which aroused a lot of public indignation.

Obviously there are crops with higher yields in the Northland, why did the imperial court prevent them from introducing crop seeds and planting methods from the Northland?

As early as before, there were riots by disaster victims in several state capitals, some of which were so large that they affected neighboring state capitals and directly threatened the government.The victims of the riot chopped off the heads of corrupt officials and hung them high above the city gate, shouting the banner of "eliminating traitors and supporting justice".

The scourge of bandits along the coast is even more serious. The bandits from overseas do all sorts of crimes of burning, killing and looting. Wherever they pass, almost no one survives. The villages and towns along the coast are deserted. Fleeing to the inland, even if there is suppression by officers and soldiers, this trend cannot be controlled.

Xu Bei is well aware of the harsh situation in the south. He is now working for the palace. He is no longer limited to ordinary people in a village, a town or a county in the past. The second son Xiao was ordered to lead an army to station at the junction of the north and the south. , because there was an urgent report from the front that there were refugees coming to the Northland.

Refugees are not as simple as civilians fleeing. With the warming of the climate, plagues have appeared in many places in the South. It is impossible for the North to let these plagues come in and wreak havoc on the North. The North cannot withstand too many twists and turns. You must know Although the barbarians outside the pass have temporarily settled down and did not invade again, everyone knows that there is no possibility of completely giving up their wolfish ambitions. They are eyeing the prosperity of the pass, and are ready to organize a large number of people to rob the wealth and food in the pass once the border is relaxed. Even occupy this rich place.

Because of the weather, the probability of plague in the north is much smaller than that in the south, and the prevention and control of the plague is not as good as that of the imperial court, so it has to be treated with caution. The fourth son personally went to the mountain and invited Lin Miracle Doctor to come out of the mountain, and Lin Miracle Doctor led the palace. The doctor in the village rushed to the refugee gathering place to ensure that the refugees with no problems and clean identities could enter the Northland.

Xu Bei saw Tieniu again, and he didn't seem to have changed much the few times he saw him, as did the genius doctor Lin, who was exactly the same as the one he saw back then.

For the sake of eating a lot of things Xu Bei sent, Doctor Lin gave the two brothers a second pulse and left some self-defense medicine, so he took a lot of sweets from the shop. Xu Bei couldn't laugh or cry at that righteous attitude, and his temperament was the same as before.

Xu Bei also received the task, as a logistics force to transport the refugees who had no problems to the designated place.The Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and the closer to the border, the less populated it is. However, the land here is fertile. As long as there is enough manpower input, the grain production in the Northland will reach another level.Therefore, although the emergence of this group of refugees has brought about many problems, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"Brother, be careful, ask Dr. Lin for some preventive medicines, and try to minimize contact with those refugees who have not been checked." Xu Minqing reminded, with worries in his eyes, he wanted to go with his elder brother, but not only the fourth son asked him Staying, Xu Bei did not agree with him to go. Since his identity was exposed, the imperial court did not take any action. Fortunately, Yanzhou City was heavily guarded, the palace was well controlled, and Xu's house was guarded by guards, so no one was allowed to go. He succeeded, so how could Xu Bei let Min Qing leave the range of Yanzhou City.

"Understood, don't worry, I'm in a strong body now. Didn't Doctor Lin say before leaving that if this trend continues, even if you can't fight tigers, you can still kill wolves." Xu Bei deliberately teased Xu Minqing with a relaxed smile.

"Don't worry, with me and Jiang Ping around, it's impossible for your elder brother to take risks." Lao Qiu assured, expressing that he would be optimistic about Xu Bei.

Xu Minqing hugged his elder brother and reluctantly let him go.Xu Bei also repeatedly told him to take care of himself and be careful of his own safety.

Xu Bei brought a team of 500 people to Jinyang City, which is the closest city to the Southland. His name has long spread throughout the Northland, and he is more well-known among officials, but he has never seen it before. The magistrate of the place also received him with great enthusiasm, and a leading general beside Young Master Xiao also came with him.

Xu Bei followed them up the city wall, and he could tell at a glance that the city wall was later reinforced with cement, and it had withstood the test of the refugees before the soldiers came to the city.

"Look at those refugees, all of them are yellow and thin, and the people from the imperial court don't care about them, and they deliberately expel them from us." Second Young Master Xiao led Xu Bei to watch the scene outside the city, "Originally, these refugees are They went towards the capital, but the people in the capital found that there was a plague among the refugees, so they not only closed the city gates to prevent the refugees from entering, but also intentionally spread the news of the prosperity of the North among the refugees, encouraging them to come to our side."

Xu Bei was shocked to see that there were so many people in the city, and a rough estimate, there might be more than [-] people.

Hearing that the second son Xiao said that the court led the refugees here because of the plague, Xu Bei felt even more ashamed. Those people were afraid of death, so they wanted to bring disasters to the North. If the plague really ravaged the North, For them, it would kill two birds with one stone, but none of those in power really thought about the people.

Damn these people!Xu Bei also felt angry, and was even more disappointed with the court over there. Seeing such a scene, it was not for himself. He also hoped that someone else would sit on that throne.

"Hmph! Those guys who only know how to fight for power and profit and are greedy for life and fear of death, how can they put the lives of ordinary people in their eyes? Look at this, besides the people who are about to starve to death, there are also many spies from the imperial court. Someone secretly instigated these people to make trouble, trying to break into our Jinyang City." The general leading the army said angrily.

The magistrate of Jinyang City cupped his hands in the direction of Yanzhou City: "It's still our prince who is kind and generous. He not only sent medicine and food, but also invited a doctor to diagnose and treat these refugees, and even the second son was busy for them. These refugees entered The empress of Beidi will definitely remember the merits of the palace and the second son."

Xu Bei glanced at him with a smile, turned his head and continued to look out of the city, thinking that the magistrate is a flatterer, and the Second Young Master would be very happy to hear this.

Sure enough, the second son said: "There is a lot of cooperation from the magistrate here. If the magistrate hadn't found out and notified the father and the king in time, we would not have been able to arrive in time to complete all the tasks. When I go back, I will definitely be the magistrate." Please credit."

The magistrate smiled and narrowed his eyes.

A lot of tents were set up outside the city. Although there were many refugees, after several days of rectification, they were in order. Moreover, because of the propaganda from all over the Northland, as long as their identities were verified and they were not infected with the disease, someone would send them in. The hinterland has become a part of the Northland, but once there are troublemakers, they will be killed on the spot.It was also this latter order that suppressed the refugees. Seeing the officials in the Northland distributing food, porridge and medicine for medical treatment made them look forward to it.

On the city wall of Xu Beidi, refugees could be seen lined up in front of a porridge shed. At least there was no panic on their faces.

"What's the situation with the plague?" Xu Bei asked worriedly. Once a plague broke out in this era, it would be scary to think about it.

The second young master pointed to a place below and said: "If the situation is serious, it will be quarantined, and if there are signs, it will be quarantined. This is the method proposed by Doctor Lin after he came. In addition, the prescription prescribed by Doctor Lin is huge. Boil the medicine in a pot and distribute it to every refugee, and now the incidence of the disease has decreased compared to the beginning."

Xu Bei asked some more about the situation, and found that there was no room for him to be useful. He had also experienced the epidemic in modern times and knew some basic prevention knowledge, but he found that the doctors of the palace and the genius doctor Lin had taken it into consideration. Outdated concept.

"Fortunately, Miracle Doctor Lin arrived, checked the patient's condition and prescribed the right prescription, so that the spread of the epidemic could be curbed in time. Miracle Doctor Lin is also in the isolation area outside the city. I sent a team to protect Miracle Doctor Lin. safety." The second young master said with emotion, Miracle Doctor Lin is still the savior of his fourth brother, and the body of the fourth brother still needs his treatment, so he absolutely does not want Miracle Doctor Lin to have an accident here.

Ten days later, the first batch of refugees who had passed through multiple levels of checkpoints entered the city, and Xu Bei arranged a team of [-] people to send them to the designated place without a moment's pause.A month later, the fifth batch of people was sent away, but the situation outside the city did not slow down, and new refugees joined in. During this time, Xu Bei also witnessed a scene of refugees making trouble. So far, the grass outside the city is still Leaving the blood of the refugees who gathered to make trouble.Also because of this disturbance, the inspection of refugees has become more stringent.

That time, Miracle Doctor Lin and his party were almost in danger, and because of this, the Second Young Master was angered. He gave a ruthless order to kill a group of refugees, so that the wind could be suppressed, and Xu Bei also saw the bloody methods of these border soldiers. , but this is the only way to stop the rioting of the refugees in the shortest possible time.
