Chapter 8: A ruthless person? Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde!

Three days later, in Jiangdu County.

"Magistrate Lin, is it white porridge and pickled mustard greens again?"

Looking at Lin Yang and the others who had come again with several government soldiers carrying the large vats, the group of government soldiers all gathered around with smiles on their faces!

Three days had passed!

The complexions of the government soldiers in Jiangdu County had all improved somewhat!

With the supplementation of white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns, their previously sallow and thin faces also radiated a hint of ruddiness!

Quietly uncovering the lids of the large vats and smelling the familiar rice fragrance, the group of government soldiers was completely excited!

"Everyone, rest assured, as long as I, Lin Yang, am here for one day, white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns will be provided until you are full!"

Standing on the open ground and shouting to the group of government soldiers, a smile also appeared on Lin Yang's face!

He then instructed the two personal guards beside him to start distributing the white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns to everyone present!

Following the process of the past few days, everyone was becoming more and more familiar with it!

In just a moment, the group of government soldiers each held a large bowl of white porridge, sat around the open ground, and began to eat heartily!

While eating, the group of government soldiers was also whispering to each other at this moment!

"Magistrate Lin is truly good to us!"

"Yes, it's a pity I misunderstood Magistrate Lin before; I deserve to die!"

"Eating white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns every day, I feel that even princes and nobles are no better than this!"

"Anyway, I don't care anymore; from now on, this life of mine belongs to Magistrate Lin!"

"That's right, this life of mine also belongs to Magistrate Lin; whatever he says in the future, I'll do!"

"..."

In just three short days, in the hearts of the group of government soldiers, Lin Yang's status had been infinitely elevated!

As government soldiers of the Great Han, in this chaotic world, whoever could give them a bite to eat and let them eat their fill and eat well!

They would sell their lives for that person!

This was a principle that had remained unchanged since ancient times!

Li Gang, who was sitting in the corner, not only did not stop the discussions of the people under his command but instead nodded silently!

In three days, not only had the soldiers under his command been conquered, but even he himself had been conquered!

White porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns for every meal!

And it was eating until full!

This kind of life felt like a dream!

If he could be like this every day!

Even if he, Li Gang, followed Lin Yang to rebel, he wouldn't look back!

"Ding, Reputation value +1!"

"Ding, Reputation value +1!"

"Ding, Reputation value +1!"

"Ding..."

Lin Yang naturally didn't know about the little thoughts of Li Gang and the others!

Standing on the open ground at this moment, Lin Yang listened to the continuously sounding prompts with a faint smile on his face!

Over these past three days, under the offensive of white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns, his Reputation had grown rapidly!

In a short time, it had already increased by more than three thousand Reputation points!

However, this amount of Reputation was clearly not enough!

"It seems I need to think of some other methods!"

Now that he had solved the problem of grain shortage in the city, Lin Yang had also won the loyalty of this batch of government soldiers by relying on the white porridge!

But just this was not enough!

As long as the Huang Jin bandits outside the city were not eliminated, Lin Yang would not be at ease for a single day!

Half a day later, Jiangdu County government office backyard.

"Sigh, why is my start so difficult!"

In the backyard, Lin Yang thought for half a day but couldn't think of a strategy to defeat the enemy, so he couldn't help but sigh!

If he had someone like Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun, who could fight ten thousand men, here right now!

He wouldn't need to think about these things at all!

Relying solely on his grain and martial power, he could break the situation!

However, he didn't have that!

"It seems I can only mobilize the commoners in the city!"

After a long while, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes!

Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Jiangdu County.

"Master, the situation outside is becoming increasingly dangerous!"

At this moment, a thin man said to the middle-aged scholar in the courtyard!

The scholar silently glanced at the other person, closed the bamboo slip in his hand, and slowly stood up!

"Let's go; we'll go see this County Magistrate of Jiangdu!"

As the calm words were spoken, the middle-aged scholar's figure walked out in large strides, a hint of cold light flashing through his eyes!

After a long while, Jiangdu County government office.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you, saying they have a strategy to defeat the enemy!"

Lin Yang, who was thinking about how to mobilize the commoners in the city, was stunned when he heard the report from his soldiers!

Someone asking to see him?

With a strategy to defeat the enemy?!

There was such a good thing?

"Quick, prepare tea and water, and let the person in!"

Instructing his subordinates, Lin Yang then tidied his clothes and headed towards the main hall of the government office!

In just a short while, when Lin Yang arrived, he saw a middle-aged scholar who looked to be in his thirties already waiting there!

"Greetings, Magistrate!"

"Sir, you are too polite. I wonder what method you have to defeat the enemy!"

After the two exchanged simple pleasantries, Lin Yang looked at the other person and asked directly!

The situation in Jiangdu County right now was truly not optimistic!

"May I ask, my lord, I have heard that the noble families in Jiangdu County, and even many officials, have all fled; is this true?"

The middle-aged scholar sipped his tea and asked calmly!

"Uh!"

Hearing the other person ask this, Lin Yang also smiled bitterly in astonishment and then nodded!

"That's right, they all ran away before the Huang Jin besieged the city!"

That's right! ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
