In less than evening, the people of the intelligence battalion brought back the evil deeds of Yu Xiao, the county commander of Pingcheng County, and Yang Qun, the county commander of Wuzhou County.

The county magistrate of Pingcheng County, Yu Xiao, has the heaviest evil deeds, and he usually fishes and fleshes the people, and acts as a blessing; Betraying the people in wartime is really hateful. And what the Hun commander A Fa said to him became Yu Xiao's "life talisman".

Han Cheng then ordered the people of the intelligence battalion to announce Yu Xiao's evil deeds in the four counties of Yanmen County, and deposed Yu Xiao's Pingcheng County Order, and ordered Wei Yan to lead the 2,000 Qinglong Battalion as the vanguard and stationed in Pingcheng County to prevent Yu Xiaogou from jumping over the wall and doing things that hurt the people.

In the early morning of the second day, when Wei Yan led two thousand Qinglong Battalion soldiers to Pingcheng County, he saw the city gate wide open.

The county commander Yu Xiao did not intend to resist, and led a cadre of officials and officials to greet Wei Yan at the gate of the city, and ordered people to set up a banquet and prepare gifts to welcome Wei Yan's arrival.

When talking to Wei Yan, his tone was extremely humble, one by one: "General Wei has worked hard." In the future, I will ask General Wei to say a few more kind words in front of the lord. ”

Yu Xiao's approach made the jealous and hateful Wei Yan even more disgusted in his heart, and before he entered the city gate, he told Yu Xiao's crime in public, and directly sent him to prison, and in less than an hour, he beheaded Xiao and his henchmen at the entrance of the vegetable market.

At noon, Han Cheng led the army to Pingcheng County. Because Han Cheng's subordinates were scarce, the county order of Pingcheng County was appointed by Han Cheng himself, and Han Cheng came directly to the official office of Pingcheng County with his own soldiers and frustration.

It is said that it is an official office, but it is better to say that it is a mansion. This mansion covers an area of three acres, in front of which is the place where the affairs of a county are handled - the political affairs hall, and the back is the place where Yu Xiao, the former county commander, lived, bedroom, kitchen, study, firewood room and other houses.

Han Cheng looked at the decorations in the official office and the many servants of the subordinates, and said to Fu Zhu: "The people of Yanmen County can't eat, but this Yu Xiao is so corrupt, he really deserves to be killed." After saying this, he thought for a while, paused and continued: "Changshi also come to live together, such a big place, so many people, I can't use it alone." ”

Fu Zhu said: "Since the lord sincerely invited, then the subordinates should be respectful and obey the order. ”

When he returned to his bedroom, he said to the subordinate at the door, "You let Captain Wei Yan come to my study." ”

At noon, when the lord said that Yu Xiao should be killed, he paused, probably thinking about it, and it seemed that he was going to dial Wei Yan for the lord.

When Wei Yan arrived, he said to Wei Yan: "I asked you to come privately, I have something to tell you." I'll cut a long story short, you have to listen well. ”

Wei Yan didn't know what was going on, so he had to say, "Wei Yan listens to the teachings of Changshi. ”

Fu Zhu said with a serious face: "Yu Xiao, as a county commander, did not contribute to the people, but betrayed the people when foreign tribes invaded. You did a very good job, and I was very satisfied with the expression of the lord.

But Yu Xiao is a county magistrate after all, don't kill him so recklessly next time, tell the lord, and ask the lord to decide. ”

Wei Yan was in a cold sweat, he felt his recklessness, he was ashamed in his heart, and said to the frustrated teacher: "Can Changshi say a few kind words for me in front of the lord, Yan Ding is unforgettable." ”

He smiled and said, "What did Captain Wei say, the lord didn't punish you, he just didn't get angry." I'm just reminding Captain Wei. Although Captain Wei is the lord's favorite general, sometimes, you have to pay attention to proportion. ”

Wei Yan looked at Fu Zhi with gratitude, and said, "Xie Changshi's grace has been taught. Not next time. ”

The corners of his mouth smiled again: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great!" Captain Wei will definitely be a general in the future, and it will be passed down through the ages. ”

......

As for the county magistrate of Wuzhou County, Yang Qun heard the news of Yu Xiao's killing, and suddenly realized in his heart that Han Cheng counted the evidence of his crimes, was willing to donate his family wealth, and took the initiative to resign from the position of county magistrate, only begging Han Cheng to spare his life.

Han Cheng received Yang Jun's self-reported "book of several crimes", and his heart was extremely depressed: there was a lot more work. Yang Qun was not a big mistake, but he was usually a little greedy for ink, and seeing that Yang Qun had a good attitude, he confiscated his family property and spared his life.

This time, the people who were plundered by Liu Neng, the left king of the Xiongnu, totaled more than 8,000 households, with a total population of more than 20,000. It is not possible for a county to arrange so many people, so the four counties temporarily resettled these people under Han Cheng's order.

Keeping these people in Yanmen County is a problem for others, but for Han Cheng from later generations, it is not difficult at all, why? It is insight, commonly known as "eyesight".

Most of these people are honest farmers and family members, usually give the grain they have worked hard to grow to the family, but the Huns came, the family directly ignored them, let the Huns plunder them, and planted the seeds of abandonment in their hearts.

All Han Cheng had to do was to water a little water and let the seeds take root and sprout, and they didn't want to go back to where they were.

The first step was to return the property plundered by the Xiongnu to the people. Whatever has the Lord, it must be returned to the person; If there is no owner, it will be used as military expenses.

The second and most important step is to divide the land.

Land is the lifeblood of the peasants, and with land, the peasants have a place to rely on and a hope for life.

There are too many unowned lands in Yanmen County, and it is just the supplement of more than 20,000 people that makes full use of the land in Yanmen County.

After the people received what they had plundered by the Xiongnu, their hearts were full of gratitude to Taishou Han Cheng.

On another day, the bulletin boards of the four counties posted the news of the county order: From today, the people of Yanmen County will redistribute the land.

Each adult man is given at least three acres of land, a woman one and a half acres, and the elderly and children also have one acre. If the number of people in the family does not have enough land, the amount of land is replenished, and the land is distributed only according to the capitation.

The time is after the New Year, and it is uniformly distributed.

The highlight of this news is that only the people of Yanmen County can get a share of the land.

The people who were plundered by the Xiongnu were even more jealous of these lands. If they return to their original place, whether there is land or not is still two words, since Yanmen County has divided the land, who will go back?

However, the notice also said that the people of Yanmen County could get a share of the land, so they had to elect a few representatives and go to the county government to ask the county magistrate and Han Cheng: Are we the people of Yanmen County?

The reply was: "As long as you register with the county government, you can count as the people of Yanmen County." ”

As soon as it was passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, the people put down their affairs and gathered at the registration office of the county government, ready to register themselves and their families and become the people of Yanmen County.

When a large number of people gathered at the county office, Han Cheng was already waiting at the county office, shouting loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Han Cheng, the new Taishou of Yanmen County, and what the notice says is true, which is what I Han Cheng meant.

As long as you register, you are the people of Yanmen County, and you can get a share of the land. Now that the New Year is still more than a month away, don't worry, go back and think about it before deciding. ”

A man in the prime of life shouted at Han Cheng: "Lord Taishou, with your words, we little people will be relieved." ”

He said to the people around him, "What are you hesitating about? Where to find such a good thing? Where can I find such a guard? I don't care about you, Lord Taishou, where to register? I'll register first.

My name is Wang Sanshu, and I have a man, a woman, two elderly people and two children. ”

With one person taking the lead, the rest of the people quickly filled the registration office, landing their own information, wanting to become the people of Yanmen County.

Han Cheng looked at the registration office full of people, and felt that he was negligent, so he had to add a few more registration offices.

When Han Cheng broke the news that he could get a share of the land as long as he registered, the people's gratitude to Han Cheng turned into love, and Han Cheng's land sharing policy really subdued the hearts of this group of people.

The news also strengthened the belief of the people in Yanmen County for two reasons: first, they could get their own land after the year; The second is that there is the protection of the Fenwu army here, and the Huns are not afraid when they come. With these two items, it is definitely better than going back to the original place.

The original place was oppressed in peacetime and plundered in wartime, and no one could stand this kind of life, but it was different in Yanmen County, this group of people had their own land, and with the protection of the army, they also had the hope of living.
