As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmon.
Black Wind Mountain Village's thinking was very simple.
Since Heyuan County was a tough place, he would go to other counties to make up for it.
In short, he couldn't make a wasted trip.
This time, the people of Lin County suffered.
Therefore, the middle-class families with the right conditions all went to look for the village chief at the border of Heyuan County.
In short, the border was close, and the household registration and population were done once a year.
He might as well spend some money and go to Heyuan County!
It's better than being taken away by bandits, right?
With this thought in mind, the limelight of fleeing to Heyuan County was forming in Shanghe and Baiyang County.
There was an endless stream of carriages dragging families.
Through the system's notification, Zhao Xing saw that the population of his county had increased by more than a thousand in a day, and it was getting more and more day by day!
Zhao Xing made a decisive decision!
Stay!
This time, the county magistrates of Baiyang County and Shanghe County could not accept it.
It was too much of a slap in the face!
In some places, a whole village had run away overnight.
Therefore…
"Zhao Xing, Fang Zhen from Shanghe County, and Zheng Ming from Baiyang County said that your Heyuan County lured the villagers from Lin County into your Heyuan County and even collected taxes.”
An illusory figure appeared in the main hall of the county government.
Zhao Xing looked at the person in front of him. It was Provincial Governor Ji Liang.
Of course, this was not a real person, but an illusion of a communication token.
Beside him, there were two other shadows. They were the county magistrate of Baiyang County, Zheng Ming, and the county magistrate of Shanghe County, Fang Zhen.
"Milord, this lowly official doesn't know. As for inciting others, that's even more nonsense!”
"The citizens of Shanghe and Baiyang counties insisted on running to Xiaguan. What does it have to do with me? I can't stop them.”
Zhao Xing said innocently.
"..." Ji Liang saw Zhao Xing admit it so directly.
It was also a little painful.
To be honest, Ji Liang had been an official for many years. He did not care about such a small matter.
However, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"As for the word 'enticement,' it's even more nonsense.”Zhao Xing looked at Fang and Zheng and said calmly," The county magistrates of Baiyang and Shanghe counties failed to suppress the bandits and caused the loss of people. Instead of thinking about their own reasons, they blame me…"
"Isn't it because I can't give birth to a son?”
Fang Zhen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhao Xing, you, you've humiliated me too much!”
Zheng Ming also had a complicated expression. It was unknown whether he was angry or ashamed.
"Shut up!" Ji Liang looked at Fang Zhen in frustration." Zhao Xing's words are not without reason!”
"If you could defeat the Blackwind Bandits, why would there be so many problems?”
He hated this kind of subordinate the most.
If he was not capable, he would have a lot of trouble.
" I…" Fang Zhen was speechless. He could treat Zhao Xing badly because they were of the same rank.
However, Ji Liang was the Provincial Governor, and he was in the Spirit Bridge Realm himself. He was Shangguan's Shangguan.
He did not dare to have any objections.
"This matter can be discussed later. The two sirs should go back and appease the people under your rule first.”
" As for you, Zhao Xing..." Ji Liang muttered," Just follow the formal transfer procedures.”
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Xing's eyes lit up.”
Fang Zhen and Zheng Ming looked at each other and immediately understood that this matter would end here.
Didn't you see Ji Liang's attitude?
He addressed them by their official titles, but he addressed Zhao Xing by his full name.
The two of them were both experienced officials, so how could they not know the difference in closeness between them?
With a bitter smile, the two of them could only take their leave.
"Buzz ~" The three phantoms instantly disappeared from the main hall of the county government.
After a short meeting, Zhao Xing was in a good mood.
"I didn't expect Ji Liang to give me such an opening.”
"Although it's a small matter now, in the long run, there will be a huge siphoning effect.”
"In the near future, if there are any changes, it will be much easier for me to control the other two counties.”
The Great Zhou was currently in trouble internally and externally. According to Zhao Xing, it was only a matter of time before it split.
"In the near future, I'm afraid that order will inevitably collapse.”
"As long as the hearts of the people belong to me, I will have a powerful force and it will be easy for me to control the other counties.”
Just as Zhao Xing was thinking.
Outside the hall, Official Liu walked over and reported,""Milord, the personal guard of Sun Pengfei, commander of the Brave Warrior Army, requests to see Milord.”
"Sun Pengfei of the Heroic Army? What reason?" Zhao Xing was puzzled. "It can't be congratulating me for defeating the Blackwind Bandits, right?”
"Daren is wise. That's exactly what he said on his visiting card.”Official Liu smiled.
Zhao Xing was speechless.
He closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
"It's not that simple," Zhao Xing said lightly.”
"Official Liu, invite him in."
