Although the old man hated these soldiers and bandits, he was just an ordinary person after all.

Seeing that the heads of the people were cut off, they were already paralyzed on the ground, and they kept muttering:

"They will retaliate, they will retaliate, slaughter the village, they will definitely slaughter the village......"

Seeing that the old man suddenly seemed to be crazy, Zhu Youzhen squatted beside the old man and comforted:

"Uncle don't worry, they don't dare to kill people and slaughter the village, as the imperial court, we will take care of this matter, you take us to the village to see!"

The old man was stunned:

"What are you going to do in the village? The village was very poor and had nothing, and the young people had fled the famine, leaving only a few dozen old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help the old man up:

"Let's go, take us around."

The old man had no choice but to get up and take everyone back to the village, the distance was not very far, through a wood.

There are not many people in the village, about 20 households, all of which are crooked and slanted earthen houses.

Seeing a group of strangers entering the village, several children immediately gathered around, their bodies were thin, their faces were yellow, their muscles were thin, they were still wearing thin clothes, and they looked at Zhu Youzhen and the others curiously.

This is the people of Daming, seeing their appearance, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a little sad, it seems that if you want Daming to embark on a prosperous era of prosperity and strength, there is definitely a long way to go.

"Uncle, didn't you get the land?"

"Hey, what's the difference between getting it and not getting it, they are all occupied by those people, and now the whole village is working for them, barely living without starvation."

After the old man said that, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and immediately called Qinglong:

"Qinglong, you hurry up and go to Lu'an Prefecture, and clearly tell them that in the future, there will be guards and bandits in Lu'an Prefecture who will enter the territory of Gwangju to commit crimes, so that all the officials and generals in the entire Lu'an Prefecture will go home to farm, and if the three clans are exterminated in serious cases, you don't have to rush back, we will meet at the Fengyang Li Dakai garrison,"

"Obedience"

Qinglong promised to get on the horse and leave immediately, Qinglong went to do this thing very simply, seeing the arrival of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he could scare the state official to death.

After Qinglong left, Zhu Youzhen asked the old man again:

"Uncle, is the biggest magistrate in your village here?"

The old man shook his head:

"I've run away a long time ago, a little way, who wants to stay in the bandits' den."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said:

"Now you have full authority to manage this village, and the land that belongs to you is only planted, and no one will dare to oppress you in the future, and I will have people send some winter clothes to your village in a while."

Without waiting for the old man to react, Zhu Youzhen and the others immediately turned around and went back.

Back at the carriage, Zhu Youzhen immediately exchanged two hundred sets of cotton clothes in the system mall, both adults and children, and exchanged some refined salt charcoal and rice.

Then he loaded all these things into the carriage, and after thinking for a while, he took out two hundred taels of silver, and loaded them into the carriage as well.

"You send these two carts to the village, let the village divide them equally, and the carriage will send them together, and then come back and continue on the road."

"Yes...... But what about our supplies? ”

In order to hide people's eyes, when Zhu Youzhen left Beijing, he also brought two carriages for supplies, but in fact, there was no need at all, as an emperor with a system, a system warehouse could be done when he traveled.

Seeing that the royal guards were a little hesitant, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand:

"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Obedience"

After Zhu Youzhen and the others left, other people in the village gathered around the old man and kept asking questions.

"Grandpa, what did those people do just now? Look at the strange clothes they wear, not like the poor. ”

"Uncle, how did you know each other, one of them seems to be very rich, with so many soldiers."

"Old man, the guest just now said that there is something for us, is it true, there are bandits ahead, we should remind them to be careful."

……

The old man didn't know how to answer them for a while, did he tell the villagers that they were ministers of the imperial court.

He didn't believe this kind of nonsense himself, and the villagers wouldn't believe it, and when the minister came down, he was accompanied by the army, and various local officials followed closely.

But these people don't look like that at all, they don't even have the pomp of a county master, but the carriage is very valuable.

"Look, those guys are here again, and they're still in the carriage!"

While everyone was talking, suddenly two wagons entered the village, and the carts were full, and the children immediately caught up with them and ran with them.

The carriage soon came to the old man, and the two royal guards jumped out of the carriage and walked up to the old man with a smile:

"Congratulations, uncle, you have been appointed as the official of this village by Lord Qincha, there are rice, cotton clothes, charcoal and silver in the carriage, etc., and your lord has asked you to distribute it equally among the people in the village, and you can't be corrupted."

After the two guards finished speaking, they turned around and left, not even asking for a carriage.

It wasn't until the two guards walked away that the uncle and the villagers reacted:

"What chincha? They said that the contents of the carriage were given to us, so that everyone could divide them equally, and see what they were......"

When the people ran to the carriage, they immediately saw a lot of sacks, and when they opened them, they saw that there were many things such as rice, charcoal, silver, etc., and the whole village was a little frugal enough to survive the winter.

The old man felt as if he was in a dream, and now he confirmed that even if the person who came was not Lord Qincha, he must be a senior official of the court.

The old man's tears suddenly flowed down his cheeks, how could there be such a good official in the world, not only did not exploit the people, but also sent so many things to the people.

As soon as his legs were weak, the old man knelt down towards Zhu Youzhen and where they were, and kowtowed again and again:

"It turned out that it was really a big official, and the old man represented the people of the whole village and thanked the adults for saving their lives."

Seeing the old man kneeling down and kowtowing, others knelt beside the old man one after another, and many people shed tears of emotion, knowing that no one would be starved to death for the time being.

Zhu Youzhen got into the carriage and continued to hurry, and soon entered the territory of Fengyang, that is, Lu'an Prefecture.

The road was desolate, and some of the fields were planted with wheat, but most of the fields were barren and uncultivated.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Haozhou was upgraded to Linhao Mansion and named after the city Linhao River.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, Linhao Mansion was changed to a neutral house, and in the seventh year of Hongwu, the neutral house was renamed Fengyang Mansion, and the government was moved to Xincheng (that is, today's Fucheng).

At the same time, the Taiping, Qingluo, Guangde, and Yongfeng 4 townships of Linhuai County were set up in Fengyang County, and since then, Haozhou (now Linhuai Town, Fengyang) has been abolished.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Hezhou, Chuzhou, Shouzhou, Lu'an, Sizhou, Hongzhou, Suzhou, Yingzhou, Bozhou, Pizhou, Xuzhou 11 prefectures and several counties, as well as eight health centers.

A small Fengyang, because it is Taizu's hometown, has a very large jurisdiction, covering almost half of the Anhui region.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to build the capital in Fengyang, and in fact he had already begun to build the capital, but was strongly resisted by the local people.

Due to the annual flooding of the Huai River, the local people have become accustomed to rolling up their bunks and wandering and begging, as well as singing flower drum operas everywhere for a living.

Later, because some ministers also began to oppose, Zhu Yuanzhang finally gave up building the capital Fengyang, leaving an unfinished project, and later built the capital Nanjing.

Now it seems that the local people are too short-sighted.

If the Ming Dynasty builds the capital of Fengyang, it will definitely drive the huge development of Fengyang, and the lives of the local people will definitely be greatly improved.
