The demon world I designed.

Chapter 168 What College?
"Shen Yuan?"

This name sounds familiar
Yuchi Feihu was recalling, but Wei Gongzhan next to him had already stepped forward to salute: "It turns out that Master Shen is the second place in the new division, why is Master Shen here?"

"It's really General Yuchi!" The scholar stepped forward a little excitedly: "The imperial court finally sensed Chen Qing's wolf ambition, did they send someone here?"

The expressions of Yuchi Feihu and the two Wei family members next to him changed, they looked at each other, and then at the refugee area that was busy queuing up in the distance, and found that no one was paying attention here, so they were slightly relieved, and pulled each other away In the end, Wei Gongyan was the first to speak: "Why did Master Shen say that?"

Wei Gongyan asked seriously, but his heart was full of joy. He was unhappy with Chen Qing. It was said that Wei Gongcheng, a crippled bastard, had come to seek refuge with him. Thinking of the turning point, it seems that the surname Chen may have committed a crime!

"You don't need to call me your lord, general. Ah no, my official seal has been taken away by Chen Qing, how can I have the face to call myself lord?"

"What?" Yuchi Feihu was stunned: "Chen Qing took your official seal?"

Although he is a military officer, he still remembers that His Majesty has to decide such a big event as seizing the official seal, right?
"For what reason?" Wei Gongzhan next to him asked with a frown.

"Oh" Shen Yuan sneered: "Then Chen Qing said that the imperial court accepted our official seal first because we, the county magistrate, did not fulfill our full responsibilities. There are hundreds of thousands, and our county government is not like his Liuzhou, where there are private soldiers hidden, how can we guard against them? With these reasons, we have to accept our official seals on behalf of the imperial court. This son of Chen Qing obviously wants to borrow This is a great opportunity to monopolize the power of Liuzhou!"

"There are other things like this!" Wei Gongyan was the first to respond: "I thought at the beginning that this guy is not a good person, but I didn't expect to be so bold and dare to steal the official seal!"

"Really bold!" Yuchi Feihu also nodded.

On the contrary, Wei Gongzhan felt a little puzzled. Chen Qing's act of seizing the official seal was indeed against the rules, but what was the significance?
Taking such a big risk, just to receive a few official seals?With so many troops, Chen Qing can actually take these county magistrates out of the picture, so why do he have to do this to leave a clue?
Thinking of this, he asked, "Master Shen, where did Chen Qing's private soldiers come from, do you know?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Yuchi Feihu also became interested. He also wanted to know, where did the troops outside Liuzhou, whose quality was comparable to the direct descendants of the Duke's Mansion, come from?

"This." Shen Yuan's face suddenly became a little strange, and he moved closer and lowered his voice: "I just came here not long ago, so I don't know the specific situation, but to be honest, these soldiers in Liuzhou are a bit evil!"

"Evil door?"

Wei Gongzhan's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "How do you say it?"

"The soldiers in Liuzhou, it is said that Chen Qing was the first to draw out all the troops in Liuzhou and needed city defense soldiers to maintain order. So he asked the Jiangnan chief envoy for the right to recruit soldiers and recruited private soldiers from the people. Then because of this activity The dead body incident, because of the urgent need to follow the authority, and to expand the recruitment from the people, only then has the current scale of Liuzhou's army been formed."

"Recruited by the people?" Wei Gongyan couldn't help but said, "What are you joking about?"

Yuchi Feihu also looked like he was teasing me. Regarding the quality of those soldiers, many aristocratic families may not be able to train them like that even if they grow up with a lot of resources. Tell me that the folk recruits can recruit such soldiers , Can you recruit me a few to try?
Seeing a few people looking at him with idiot eyes, Shen Yuan also smiled wryly: "I don't know the specific situation, so I say it's very evil. I have been here in Liuzhou for more than seven or eight days, so I don't care about the situation here. I have some understanding, according to my observation, the main source of soldiers here in Liuzhou is indeed from the civilian population!"

He said and pointed to the direction of South Street in the distance: "Did you see a large group of people around there?"

Yuchi Feihu and the others nodded: "What are you doing there?"

"In selection" Shen Yuan said in a low voice: "Liuzhou has a steady stream of refugees, and Liuzhou's recruitment has never stopped. There are temporary recruiting places everywhere in the direction of South Street. If you have a skill, such as proficiency in archery, equestrianism or good Those who use weapons can be recruited first, and if they are not good at it, as long as they are strong and of the right age, they will have the opportunity to join the army."

"That is to say. The source of soldiers really comes from the people?" Yuchi Feihu hesitated: "Could it be recruited as miscellaneous soldiers?"

"I don't know about this, but now under Chen Qing's instigation, Liuzhou is very popular in joining the army, because the conditions given are very good. As long as ordinary refugees can join the army, no matter what their background is, they can immediately enter Liuzhou. Get a set of real estate allocated by the government in Liuzhou, as long as you are registered in the military, your wife and children are all Liuzhou citizens, and you can go to South Street to get meals every day, and you will have meat every meal."

"Don't the refugees here also have meat?" Yuchi Fei swallowed saliva, and pointed to the place where the queue was in the distance.

"This place is only for newly arrived refugees, and we only distribute meat for three days!" Shen Yuan said angrily: "It is said to make up for the new refugees' bodies. Once the three days are over, they have to go to North Street to get food. The food is not as good as it is now, only thick porridge, occasionally with some meat."

Speaking of this, he obviously has some resentment, because he has been driven to North Street to get food in the past few days. On the morning, when I thought of the smell of meat worms just two days ago, my stomach suddenly felt a little drummed.

"I see that there are quite a few people in Liuzhou." Wei Gongzhan looked at the bustle in the distance: "How can a government of this scale guarantee that everyone has thick porridge to drink, and occasionally there is meat? I'm afraid it's not so difficult even in the capital." treat it."

"That's why I said that Chen Qing is ambitious!" Shen Yuan said angrily, "I must have anticipated this disaster a long time ago, prepared food early, and bought people's hearts!"

Wei Gongzhan looked at some passers-by people outside, their faces were full of energy and red, obviously they had the complexion that they would have had for many days without worrying about food and clothing, and there was a moment of silence. He had noticed just now that the people inside Liuzhou City had a very good complexion. , even the man with the surname Shen in front of him looks good, which is rare even in the capital.

Most of the people have a sallow complexion all the year round, especially in the north. Ninety percent of them have vegetables on their faces. Go, everyone can have a set of commoner clothes that look good.

If there are more officials who buy people's hearts like this, it will be a prosperous age, right?
Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden commotion outside. When they looked around, they found that many people were looking at the sky. The new refugees squatted on the ground in fright, while the refugees who had stayed in Liuzhou for a while showed excitement on their faces. , They all saluted from afar, and shouted: "Master Riyoushen!"

"That is?"

Yuchi Feihu and the others looked at the majestic and imposing general in the sky in amazement.

"This is what my subordinate said, the evil place in Liuzhou!" Shen Yuan also looked at the sky, and said in a low voice: "There are some so-called gods in Liuzhou inexplicably, and according to the rumors released by Chen Qing, it is said that it is a disaster from heaven. , the sleeping gods in Liuzhou wake up and protect the common people, such as the giant wolf at the gate, they are called door gods, saying that they keep demons from outside Liuzhou city, in my opinion, that door god is probably a demon!"

"And today's wandering god is even more outrageous. It is really ridiculous to say that it is the righteous god of the Yin Division who hunts down ghosts, and that everyone who dies in Liuzhou will be included in the Yin Division and enjoy the life of the Yin Division!"

"There is such a thing?" Several people suddenly heard it strangely.

"The key is to spread the word in a decent way!" Shen Yuan sneered and said, "Some people don't know if they have received bribes secretly, but the next day they burst into tears and spread rumors that they met their relatives in a dream yesterday, and they said they were in the underworld. It's really ridiculous how things are going, Chen Qing's use of these crooked methods to deceive people has already made the people here blindly obey him, and even those masters who teach are helping the evildoers!"

"Why do you say that?" Yuchi Feihu took the lead and asked.

"It is said that the underworld is busy and needs the help of highly respected teachers to manage the government affairs of the underworld. Those masters grew up reading sage books, but they pretended to be, and spent time every day going to some underworld to be on duty, haha"

"Forehead"

The three of them looked at each other, and the situation in Liuzhou really sounded quite evil.

"By the way, Major General!" Shen Yuan looked at the other party attentively and said, "The general came here but the imperial court came for reinforcements?"

"Ah, yes, the imperial court has come to reinforce it!" Yuchi Feihu nodded solemnly.

I'm not lying, the imperial court did send them to reinforce Jiangnan, but the result was not perfect
"Then when are the generals going to do it?" Shen Yuan suddenly became excited!

He waited impatiently for this day!
"Eh, this." Yuchi Feihu was immediately stopped by the question, and Wei Gongzhan who was next to him hurriedly said: "It's Mr. Shen, the three of us were sent here to investigate the situation first, and the imperial army has sealed off Jiangnan. I can't run away!"

"That's good, that's good!" Tears welled up in Shen Yuan's eyes, he had been living in a muddle these days, and he thought he would be trapped here forever.

"We have to collect enough information before we can send troops from above." Wei Gongzhan continued: "I remember that before us, the imperial court also sent troops in, led by General Hong and General Wu You. Where are they?"

Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "I've just been here not long ago, and I haven't heard of this."

"Is that so?" Wei Gongzhan's expression immediately became solemn when he heard the words: "It seems that we should not act rashly, we must find out the situation here. Mr. Shen has been here for many days, is there any channel for obtaining information?"

"This..." Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment. These days, he was in a daze, queuing up with refugees to eat and drink, where did he come from?

But these words must not be uttered, so I also made a serious thinking action, so I said: "This Liuzhou is extremely evil. If you want to get more information, you have to go deep into the interior. I haven't registered Liuzhou people yet. I know things are limited.”

"How can I enter Liuzhou people?" Wei Gongzhan asked quickly.

"Three ways!" Shen Yuan hurriedly said: "First, as I said just now, joining the army is the most convenient path for you adults. As long as adults show their skills a little, they should be able to be included in the tiger ranks." The guards or door gods become Liuzhou citizens. The second is to sign up to enclose land in the Daqing Mountain outside the city. It is said that Liuzhou is now reclaiming a large area of ​​land there. Anyone who is willing to contract the land can become a Liuzhou citizen. The third Well"

"How about the third one?" Yuchi Feihu asked curiously.

"Third." Shen Yuan's face became a little weird: "It's the academy recruitment that will start tomorrow. According to the news, anyone who can be enrolled in Liuzhou Yinyang College can become a Liuzhou citizen!"

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and they all said in unison, "What college?"
