After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying ignored the noise made by Sun Qingchen and continued to say to everyone with a solemn face: "So I say that recruiting female soldiers is the general trend. When the first batch of female soldiers are trained, they will have to teach the women in Lan County People learn martial arts, teach them to fight against enemies, and teach them how to protect themselves. Otherwise, they will either become bandits or rebels from the imperial court, and women will always be the first batch of souls killed by the sword."

These words made everyone pale.

Especially those who just held objections.

Both Miao and Lian looked panic-stricken. They did not question what Xu Zhenying said, and unlike Sun Qingchen, they thought Xu Zhenying was deceiving the public.

Xu Zhenying has proven her ability.

She said the world would be in chaos, so it was definitely possible.

If this is the case, the issue of female soldiers is really urgent.

Xu Zhenying saw that everyone was just silent and sighed, "In this case, I will assume that everyone agrees with my method. This matter cannot be delayed. Ming Xiaoshuang and Jiang Yongkang will take care of it tomorrow. By the way, aren't there others in the city? A few wealthy families have recruited all the unmarried members of their families who are over 13 years old. If my bowl of water is empty, no one will say anything."

After everyone dispersed, Xu Zhenying rubbed her temples, and Feng'er brought a cup of tea. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that Qian Zhenniang hadn't left yet, and was looking at her with hesitation.

Feng'er winked at Qian Zhenniang. Qian Zhenniang seemed to muster up the courage and walked forward two steps, "City Lord... you said that you don't like to guess other people's thoughts. You like to ask you directly if there is anything you want..."

Xu Zhenying sat upright, "Zhenniang, what happened?"

Qian Zhenniang shook her head, and then looked at Xu Zhenying dreamingly, mist rising in her eyes, "May I ask the city lord, what did Zhenniang do wrong?"

"What's the meaning of this?"

"I...I..." Qian Zhenniang hesitated, and finally, with the encouragement from Feng'er's eyes, she said hesitantly, "I see that most of the people in our team have arranged things to do, even the city lord under Lao Liao. Accepted, why...why haven't you arranged for me to do anything yet? But if you think there is anything else I need to hone, please tell me directly..."

Xu Zhenying looked into Qian Zhenniang's eager eyes, patted her forehead pretentiously, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm really too busy. I don't have any prejudice against you personally, but I'm familiar with some of them." , I was so busy that I forgot to make adjustments. So..."

Xu Zhenying looked at Feng'er with a smile. Feng'er was a little overwhelmed by her stare, "I think Feng'er has been practicing by my side for a long time and is basically able to stand alone. Is there anything you want to do?"

Feng'er was a little confused, "This... I always do whatever the city lord asks me to do, and Feng'er doesn't even pick a pick."

"Okay. The hardest thing to crack now is the female soldiers. Tomorrow you will be fully in charge of the work of female soldiers."

Feng'er was even more confused now, "Could the city lord let Feng'er become a female general?"

Xu Zhenying smiled, "I see that your physical fitness is very good, and your temperament is more aggressive than ordinary girls. You are a good prospect. You can be a soldier if you want, or you can be a female soldier commander and lead the affairs of female soldiers."

Feng'er's eyes widened. As someone close to Xu Zhenying, Feng'er naturally knew how much Xu Zhenying valued female soldiers.

Although she still couldn't understand why Xu Zhenying had to take this step, she knew that this matter was of great importance and the responsibility was heavy.

What's more, she used to listen to Xu Zhenying's orders, but now she is asked to take charge of this area of ​​work on her own. She is a little undecided, "City Lord, I...can I do it?"

"If you ask me, it's always possible. Even if you can't, you have to do it. Life is interesting only when you have to face difficulties."

Xu Zhenying saw that Feng'er was a little unsure, so she patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Fang Xun's work at the agricultural entrance is just like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Remember, what we do is If you want to set a precedent, you are bound to encounter problems, and how to solve them will show your ability. Don’t be afraid, give it a try first, and I’ll give you the answer.”

Feng'er's eyes were hot, and she wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but due to Xu Zhenying's rules, she could only hold her hand in front of her: "City Lord, Feng'er will never let you down, I will definitely do it!"

Xu Zhenying turned around again and looked at Qian Zhenniang, who was at a loss. "Zhenniang, you will take over the work of Feng'er's secretary from today on. Let Feng'er teach you what to do specifically for a few days. When will Feng'er Go take over the female soldiers' side, and you'll take office at any time."

In fact, Xu Zhenying said that she really couldn't bear to let Feng'er go out like this.

But she really had no choice. All the people under her command were dispersed, and there were still tasks for education, commerce, and construction. The talent gap was so big. Compared with the secretary position, Xu Yinxi was a little busier. , one person should be able to do it.

But since Qian Zhenniang asked, Xu Zhenying was also determined to train Qian Zhenniang.

At least Qian Zhenniang can write and calculate. She has no other shortcomings except that she is a bit soft-tempered.By then, Xu Yinxi will be in charge of political affairs and Qian Zhen will be in charge of internal affairs. It should not be a big problem.

Qian Zhenniang was completely confused now. She had followed the Xu family for so long, so she naturally knew what the position of Xu Zhenying's secretary meant.

Although it seemed like small things like serving tea and water, welcoming people to and from people, and recording documents, the position was so sensitive that it was almost at the core of the core team around Xu Zhenying.

Qian Zhenniang was self-aware and naturally knew that she was not qualified for this position. She also knew that Xu Zhenying was determined to recruit her, and she was filled with surprise and fear.

She originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of Xu Zhenying's style of doing things and the five words she just said, "I'll do it even if I can't do it," she was afraid that if she declined Xu Zhenying, she would never have this kind of opportunity again -

Now or never!

Xu Zhenying has many capable people around him, so this opportunity is so precious!

So Qian Zhenniang stood up and said loudly: "City Lord, I will study hard and never embarrass you!"

Xu Zhenying said to Feng'er: "I'll work hard on you these days. Let's take care of both the female soldier and the secretary for the time being. During the transition period, we can't relax on both sides."

"Alas!" Feng'er responded cheerfully and took Qian Zhenniang out. Qian Zhenniang was frightened and felt a little like she was in a dream, but Feng'er said as she walked away that she had already explained the affairs, "Sister , the city lord may seem easy-going, but in fact he is very strict with what he does. Under her hand, you have to think quickly, keep up with your ideas, have a good memory, and maintain an attitude of learning at all times. To be the city lord’s secretary It’s not easy, but you learn things quickly.”

Qian Zhenniang felt her heart go up and down, and now she had no idea. She couldn't help but tightened her grip on Feng'er, "Feng'er, I didn't even dare to say it in the room just now. Do you think I...can really do this well?" ?"

Feng'er gave her a dose of reassurance, "Don't be afraid. I was very nervous at the beginning, thanks to the city lord's patient teaching. Again, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing. The city lord takes care of everything every day. They won’t care about our small mistakes. You have just taken over my work. If you are afraid of making mistakes, you should read more and listen more, speak less and ask less. If you don’t understand, come back and ask me. Don’t worry, the city lord will not eat people. , you will definitely learn a lot from following the city lord!"

Qian Zhenniang was still uneasy, "Then tell me more about the city lord's personality and taboos. For example, what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat..."

"Stop it." Feng'er cut off Qian Zhenniang's words. She looked at Qian Zhenniang solemnly and said word by word, "Sister, you have to remember one thing. When you come to the city lord, you are not doing odd jobs. Not to mention being a maid. Even if you are sometimes required to serve tea and water, you must not put yourself in a position of housekeeping."

Qian Zhenniang was full of doubts.

Think about it carefully, isn’t Feng’er’s job just to serve tea and water to welcome and drop off?
She didn't understand what he meant and said anxiously: "I hope my sister can teach me more."

"Sister, the city lord has no shortage of maids. If she is in need of maids, she only needs to wave. How many girls in Lan County are willing to follow her? Why does she spend so much energy and time teaching Xu Yinxi and me? City lord. , she does not lack maids, but she lacks people who can do things for her! After you go to the city lord, remember to learn more like Xu Yinxi. Miss Xu can write, do math, and be knowledgeable, so the city lord often asks her to make suggestions. "

Seeing that there was no one around, Feng'er simply said more clearly, "This secretary position is a core position, and it touches government affairs such as internal affairs, food, production, and defense. To put it bluntly, the current magistrate of Lan County is The lord of the city, and the secretary is the chief registrar. Sister, don’t come back again if you don’t miss this opportunity!”

Feng'er spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, but Qian Zhenniang was already horrified.

If you think about it carefully, it's really true.

Isn't Xu Zhenying the magistrate of Lan County now?

Isn't the secretary next to the county magistrate the chief registrar?

Qian Zhenniang was scared and happy in her heart. She was surprised that Xu Zhenying was willing to give her such a big opportunity, but she was scared of the unknown journey ahead.

She seemed to be suddenly pushed forward by a strong force. From now on, she must toughen up, otherwise she would lose Xu Zhenying's face, which would be a thousand times more uncomfortable than losing her own face!
And today is obviously a good day.In the afternoon, Xu Zhenying was discussing with Fang Xun about building a standardized pig house when he heard the boy in the front yard of the county government announcing the good news that his grandmother and the others were back!
This time it's amazing.

Xu Zhenying and the others almost immediately abandoned their affairs and ran to the city gate to greet them. As expected, they only saw a team of about 40 to [-] people in ragged clothes, supporting each other and walking into Lan County.

Huang was disheveled but in good spirits. As soon as he entered the gate of Lan County, he looked around and touched here and there, wanting to take everything home. His tone was trembling: "This...is this Lan County? Liu Yatou is now The city lord? Oh my god, isn’t that the same as the county magistrate?”

Xu Huijia had told everyone about the current situation since she met this group of people in the mountains. At this moment, he was supporting Huang, with a look of pride on his face, but he did not forget to remind everyone, "Grandma, you must remember, We are calling that girl City Lord now, so don’t yell so randomly that everyone will find out your identity. In a few days, the City Lord said that he will give us a new identity. From now on, we will not go to Qianzhou, but just be good citizens here!"

The crowd nodded frequently.

The old people repeatedly told the children to be tight-lipped.

Mrs. Huang praised: "That's right, I knew that kid was really good. Now we finally don't have to worry about having no place to go!"

"Mother!" Someone had already come forward to greet her, and they started crying and screaming.

Everyone in the Fang family was already crying.

Miao, Zhao, Lian and others all came forward to greet her, "Mother!"

"Fuwei!"

"Mei Xiao!"

It had been a long time since everyone had seen each other, and they all burst into tears, unable to stop themselves no matter what.

Xu Zhenying had also walked to the city gate. She took a look at everyone and saw that although everyone was in ragged clothes, they were in good spirits. She probably didn't suffer from hunger along the way.

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but wonder where their food came from, but she also knew that this was not the time to ask about such things, so she asked Huang, "Grandma, are you still healthy?"

It had only been a month since they had seen each other, and everyone had already noticed Xu Zhenying's extraordinary aura. She looked at her with a smile on her brows, but she was powerful without showing it, and there was a sense of coercion between her words and smiles.

He is worthy of being the one who captured this city.

Everyone unconsciously had a flattering and nervous smile on their faces, but Mrs. Huang patted Xu Zhenying and praised: "Well done! My sixth... Zhenying, well done! I didn't suffer much, you guys After leaving, we have been waiting for you to come back in Ye County. Unexpectedly, after waiting for several days and nights, you have not come back. There is no food in Ye County. Later, Mr. Fang said that Li Datou must have disliked us old people. The weak, sick and disabled got in the way and took the opportunity to get rid of us. But there was no other way. There was no food in the county, so we had to go find you..."

Xu Zhenying also said with emotion: "Grandma, you have suffered."

"It's not hard, it's not hard! It was just hard the past few days, but then we got lucky and met an acquaintance!" Mr. Huang laughed, "We are tied up, this is not the place to talk -"

Xu Zhenying immediately understood and told everyone: "It's been a hard journey for everyone. Everyone should go back to reunite with their families first and rest for a few days."

Everyone dispersed, while Miao and the others led Huang and the others back to the house. Huang held Xu Zhenying's hand and refused to let go. Xu Zhenying asked Huang what happened all the way after seeing that they were all members of his family.

Huang answered truthfully: "After you left, we went to look for you within a few days. Fortunately, we didn't meet any bandits. Once we did, we stayed away from them. It's really good luck for us. Well, I met Hu Wei within a few days of walking. Do you still remember that dog-headed military advisor? "

Xu Huijia then said to Xu Zhenying: "Hu Wei has been tied up by Grandma and the others, and I have sent him to the county government."

Huang nodded and continued: "A few of us interrogated Hu Wei, and we found out that Hu Wei had been inciting Li Datou and others to rebel, and also secretly helped them hide food. He suddenly left that day and secretly transferred the food to the cave. We When I asked Hu Wei about your whereabouts, he only said that you went to Zhangjiacun. We detained him and followed us. First, we went to Zhangjiacun. The people in Zhangjiacun then asked us to try our luck in Lan County. Unexpectedly, it really happened. Met you!"

When Mrs. Huang walked into the county government office, she saw someone immediately offering soup and everyone was surrounding Xu Zhenying. Her mind was spinning a thousand times. When she heard Xu Huijia mention that they occupied Lan County, Mrs. Huang didn't believe it. Now she saw it. Know the truth and falsehood.

This Xu Zhenying's aura is even more majestic than that of Xu Deyuan back then.Especially those eyes, half-smiling and half-serious, neither close nor close, inexplicably making people feel scared.

Did her granddaughter really become the county magistrate?
The more Huang looked at Xu Zhenying, the more pleasing she became to her. She took Xu Zhenying's hand to greet her.

With great difficulty, the Xu family finally had their first meal in Lan County.

But at this moment, the Fang family was not at peace.

Although Fang Xun welcomed his grandparents back, the matter of the pig house was not trivial. He negotiated with the craftsmen in the afternoon, confirmed the appearance of the pig house, and gathered piglets from several large pig farmers in the city. He piled on until it was getting late, and met Feng'er, Jiang Yongkang and others on the road.

After asking, I found out that the recruitment was still not going well today. They had already written a notice and were preparing to start the city-wide recruitment tomorrow.

A few people exchanged a few words, and it was completely dark when they returned home.

Instead of having hot pots and hot stoves, the house was deserted. In the small courtyard with two entrances near the county government office where they lived, men and women lived in one room each. Now the lights were brightly lit in the same room, and the figure of Old Mrs. Fang was vaguely revealed.

Fang Xun's heart sank, knowing something was wrong, so he hurriedly walked in.

As soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw people kneeling in the room. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang were sitting on the kang, one of them was silent and the other was blushing.

And Fang Ruyu was already crying like a tearful person.

Fang Ningmo kept winking at him.

After seeing this situation, Fang Xun already understood most of it.It was probably after Fang Ruyu's private escape that her grandfather learned about it.

The day that was supposed to come has finally come.

My grandfather didn't know how angry he was.

Fang Xun knelt down and bowed politely, "Greetings to my grandfather and my respects to my grandmother."

Old Mrs. Fang raised his eyes and didn't ask too much where Fang Xun had gone.

However, Fang Xun, who used to be timid and timid in the past, now has an extraordinary demeanor and is neither humble nor arrogant in his speech, much like he used to be when he was young.

Mr. Fang couldn't help but be secretly amazed at Xu Zhenying's ability to train his subordinates.

Fang Xun had only followed Xu Zhenying for more than a month, but the changes had been so drastic.Not only has the person become taller, but his eyes have become a bit sharper.

I don’t know whether I am happy or sad about this change.

Old Mrs. Fang heard Fang Ruyu's crying again and felt bored.

Originally, these things should not be mentioned to these juniors, but what kind of person is Mr. Fang? He has already seen the changes in Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo, and he also wanted to study them, and said: "I won't do anything else. Say more, your eldest sister...she and Ming Xiaoshuang...have been alone together for so many days. Who knows about everyone in this camp? Now Dafang means to let your grandmother Go and talk to Ming Xiaoshuang to find out. What do you think? You might as well tell me."

Find out?
Fang inquired and understood what Mr. Fang meant.

Dafang and others looked ashamed, Fang Ruyu's face turned blood red, but she did not dare to speak.
