Pu Shougeng's death touched Zhao Yu a lot, he didn't expect that he would give up his life for the re-emergence of his family, a local tyrant and inferior gentry have such a realm. As the king of a country www.biquge.info he is still worried about how to save his life, and he has to leave a way out for himself in everything, and he never dares to really let go of his hands and feet. But Pu Shougeng is a mercenary businessman, and he still knows that if he wants to succeed, someone must sacrifice, or even take his own life, but think that he is not as good as him!

The culprit was dead, and Zhao Yu ordered the net to be closed, and the rebel officials and rebel generals of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the merchants and Haoqiang who participated in the bloody night in Quanzhou, including the merchants involved in it, were all arrested, and their family property was confiscated, and they were either killed or sentenced according to their crimes. At the same time, the property of Pufu was cleaned up, a register was made, the personnel were screened and classified, the nine clans were exterminated, the domestic servants and servants were added to the officials, and the search for the division was intensified. In addition, most of the Chinese army was turned into a reserve and stationed in Zicheng, and they took a break as soon as possible; 5,000 water troops entered the city to carry out the tasks of maintaining law and order, guarding the city, and rushing to transport supplies.

In addition, based on the investigation of the situation of the Quanzhou market materials by the secretariat, the procurement list of goods was formulated, and the seized funds were used to buy various materials, including copper and iron, sulfur, silk, grain and medicinal materials, livestock and agricultural tools, and various daily necessities were purchased to supply the Qiongzhou market and solve the problem of material shortage and rising prices brought about by the increase in population. At the same time, it is emphasized that buying and selling should be fair, and it is not allowed to buy and sell forcefully, but it is necessary to crack down on illegal merchants who hoard goods and refuse to sell, and take the opportunity to raise prices.

In addition, in addition to sending convicted prisoners, their families and prisoners to Qiongzhou, it is also necessary to recruit civilians on a large scale to increase the population of Qiongzhou. In addition, Zhou Yi was responsible for recruiting craftsmen, which was not only Zhao Yu's personal preference, but also based on the needs of Qiongzhou's construction and national defense. Therefore, in addition to the enviable treatment, it is also implied that it can use some means, anyway, to get people back by all means, of course, it is better on a voluntary basis.

Zhao Hao did this and had no choice but to do so. First of all, although the Mongols were hateful, they always attached great importance to craftsmen, and every time they conquered a city, they would forcibly recruit all kinds of craftsmen, and even if they wanted to slaughter the city, they would pick out the craftsmen. Therefore, the cities they conquered were all withered, especially the handicraft industry, which would decline on a large scale. However, Quanzhou is an exception, in addition to the 'peaceful' handover, it is also an important maritime trade center and handicraft base in the country, and the craftsmen of Quanzhou have been spared in order to usurp greater profits.

However, it is precisely because of the prosperity of foreign trade in the circle that a large number of top craftsmen in the industry are concentrated here to make various products for export, after all, the ancients are not stupid, and local production will greatly reduce the cost of products and obtain higher profits. As an important commercial port, Quanzhou's shipbuilding industry has risen here, and since the Tang Dynasty, it has become the country's shipbuilding base, and the production of Fu ships is famous all over the world, suitable for ocean navigation.

And Zhao Yu knew that Qiongzhou must have a strong naval army in order to be stable, and it will not change for a long time. At present, the Qiongzhou Navy has nearly 1,000 warships, but most of them are used as merchant ships, and there are very few real warships. For this reason, although it has been modified and transformed, due to structural limitations, it still cannot fully meet the needs of the operation, and can only be said to be improvised. In order to achieve a strategic advantage, these ships had to be reequipped gradually, which required not only money, but also a large number of skilled craftsmen.

It is from this need that the craftsmen are not recruited, but recruited, with a coercive color. And if it is like the Mongols who threaten each other with swords and guns, forcing each other to live and die, it not only violates the iron law formulated by Zhao Yu himself, but also damages the image that the imperial court has just established. But he believes that Zhou Yi can do a good job, he has a naturally terrifying face, not to mention angry, even laughing can scare people's legs. But it has a mouth smeared with honey, and a few words can coax people into not knowing the southeast and northwest, with such a talent in hand, what problems can't be solved.

It has now been eight days since the siege and three days into the fighting, although a proclamation has been issued for the people to hide in their homes to avoid being affected. The wealthy ones are better off and can save some food, water and firewood, but the poor are miserable, and if they don't go out to work for a day, they can't open the pot for a day. And in this world, there are always more poor people than rich people, and those families who have been under martial law for many days are probably living like years, and they have long been worried about how to fill their stomachs.

Of course, Zhao Hao will not let go of this opportunity to buy people's hearts and establish his benevolent and righteous image. After entering the city, the search for the emperor's relatives did not make much progress, but the affairs of the murdered prince and the families of the killed officers and soldiers in the city went relatively smoothly, and there were still many witnesses in the army. Therefore, while showing compassion to their families, he has set up food distribution points in various slum areas in the city to help the people affected by the war.

But now it's martial law all day, all the shops are closed, and there is nowhere to buy if you want to. In addition, no vegetables can be grown or harvested in the city, and in a few days, no matter who demolishes the house and burns the furniture, they will not even be able to eat rice, and can only eat raw rice to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, lifting the daytime martial law, resuming commerce, and allowing supplies to enter the city have also become problems that need to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be a trivial matter for more than 200,000 people to make trouble.

However, now the war outside the city is urgent, the south of the city is the sea, the west of the city is facing the Jinjiang River, so if you get supplies can only set up a pontoon bridge on the Jinjiang River, communicate with the Jinjiang County on the other side, so as to solve the supply problem, so as to facilitate the control of personnel in and out. If an enemy is coming, as long as the pontoon bridge is removed, the enemy can be isolated on the opposite bank, so as to ensure the safety of Quanzhou.

Of course, Kaesong also faces the risk of enemies hiding in the city taking the opportunity to escape from the city, especially after coming into contact with martial law, those killers have more room to operate, threatening His Majesty's safety. Therefore, this proposal was opposed by everyone, but Zhao Yu was very calm, his reason was very simple, those enemies who were hiding, if they did not move, it would be difficult for you to find out. But if they try to escape from the city, they may be hitting the net. And with so many people protecting him day and night, it is not easy to harm himself as long as he lives in a shallow way.

Since there is a soft hand, of course, there must also be a hard hand. At this time, the war in the city has ended, and the thief chieftains have been conferred heads, but it does not mean that those big businessmen have surrendered, and many of them are followers and sympathizers of Pu Shougeng, and even a community of interests. Now that the strong enemy is on the side, Pu Shougeng is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not worry about being liquidated and take risks, and the scene of 'Bloody Night' will be staged again, you must know that their families are also raising private soldiers who take care of the home, and the gathering is also a force to be reckoned with.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is also to deter unstable elements. Zhao Yu decided to immediately publicly execute a group of people after the large-scale raid, and exposed the bodies of Pu Shougeng, Tian Zhenzi and Xia Jing at the old site of Yacheng for three days, and at the same time escorted the captured captives and their families out of the city to eliminate unstable factors. At the same time, it is necessary to intensify efforts to search for the whereabouts of Shi Si and his family, and must not let the Pu family, the executioner of the massacre of Zongzi, escape punishment......

When the plan was finished, the people followed the will and sent troops into the city overnight, searched the whole city, and escorted the prisoners out of the city before dawn, and at the same time began to count the dirty silver that had been confiscated. After dawn, an announcement was issued announcing the lifting of martial law during the day, and every day from midnight to unitary hour, businesses can resume business, residents can go to the streets, and at the same time, the west gate will be opened at midnight and closed during unitary time, allowing people in the city to go out of the city to pick wood, buy goods, and also allow people outside the city to enter the city to trade. Martial law was restored throughout the city, and all people were forbidden to go out, and those who violated the curfew were put to death.

When martial law was lifted, people had just come out to do their activities, only to find that the walls of the city's main streets were covered with posters. Inform the people in the city that the thief leader Pu Shougeng is below, and the puppet officials such as the puppet prefect Tian Zhenzi and the soldier and horse envoy Xia Jing are all awarded the head, and the corpse is exposed in Tongqu for three days. Later, it was announced that a number of convicted puppet officials and collaborators, including Yan Bolu, Wang He, and Lin Chunzi, were scheduled to be beheaded by the river at noon. At the same time, a reward order was posted, and there were more than 100 wanted criminals, including Shi Si, with bounties ranging from 100 to 1,000 yuan, all of whom were related to the killing of the sect in the city.

"Your Majesty!" Just after the hour, Wen Tianxiang and Gao Yingsong finished their beheading and came to hand over the order.

"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Zhao Yu let out a long yawn and sat down. Last night, he didn't sleep all night, only signed the proclamation, and was busy for most of the night approving the death penalty, although a group of people from the Military Aircraft Department assisted in handling it, but the signing and drawing also made his wrists sore, and he didn't sleep in the side hall until dawn, and the person arrived as soon as he got up.

"Your Majesty, the five hundred and thirty-four people below Lin Chunzi, who conspired against the criminal, have all been sentenced to the canonical punishment, and the ministers are here to hand over the decree!" Wen Tianxiang got up and gave a gift to the roster.

"Well, it's good, the two Aiqing have worked hard!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Today, these hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the instigation of the capital immediately became dumb, which is a big blow to them!" ”

"Your Majesty, when you learn that there are many calamities, the people in the city are also rejoicing, praising Your Majesty's holy virtues, and all guilds have notified their subordinates to open for business, and there is an endless stream of vendors entering and leaving the city!" Gao Yingsong also got up and saluted.

"Hehe, this is my duty, I can't afford it!" Zhao Yu knew that he had frightened the businessmen in the city at this moment, lest he become the next one, these words were not true, "The next batch of rosters must be sorted out as soon as possible and executed as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Majesty, according to the law, there should be more than a thousand people who should be punished with capital punishment, is the killing too heavy?" Wen Tianxiang frowned when he heard this.

"Wenxiang, in troubled times, you should use heavy codes. Previously, it was precisely because of our dynasty's arrogance in the past that they became big, that they dared to take advantage of the decline of our dynasty to unscrupulously collude with the Yuan court and slaughter our army, civilians, and scholars. Now it is necessary to kill a few to deter them, so that they can understand the fate of betraying the court and betraying the royal family. Zhao Yu said solemnly.

"Although what Your Majesty said is good, but the minister does not dare to agree, there are many merchants who have been sentenced to death, they have come across the sea but their heads are different, and they will definitely say that our dynasty is cruel and does not understand the law of etiquette, so please think carefully about it!" Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment.

"The performance of the text seems reasonable, but it is actually very difficult!" Zhao Yu said, "It is understandable for businessmen to pursue profits, but they have lost their duties in order to earn money, and they do not hesitate to participate in court disputes, assist them in attacking cities and plundering land, and slaughtering the soldiers and civilians of our dynasty are guilty of a great crime, and they must be punished according to the laws of our dynasty." This is the principle of the world, and they must not be forgiven because they are Tibetans, otherwise they can only repeat the mistakes of the previous day! ”

"Your Majesty teaches you a lesson, but it's always ominous to kill too much......"

"Don't say anything more, although the Tartars have a ferocious temperament, but they are also fierce and inward, only when they are scared and killed with blood for blood, do you know that our dynasty is not a dog and dolphin to be slaughtered, to revive the majesty of my Han Dynasty, restore my Han land, and talk about etiquette and benevolence with wild beasts is tantamount to seeking skin with tigers, then there is only one way to lose the country!" Zhao Yu is authentic.

"Your Majesty said it well, and the minister also thinks that only in this way can the people of the world know that our emperor is mighty, and the Tartars are not invincible, and soon they will rise up one after another to echo the court and jointly expel the Tartars from the Central Plains!" Gao Yingsong bowed his hand and said.

"The minister is ashamed, and now he understands the holy will." Wen Tianxiang saluted.

"Wen Xiang is also dedicated to the country, and he is not malicious. But in this way, it is not allowed to kill in vain, and all those who commit minor crimes, have a heart toward us, and have the intention of repenting, can also be appropriately forgiven, and must not be killed completely! Zhao Yu knows Wen Tianxiang's character, and his execution is just now, if he slaughters some mistakes because of his words, then he will definitely have to scare a group of people to follow the Tartars.

"Your Majesty's lesson, the minister will keep it in mind!" Wen Tianxiang and Gao Yingsong listened to Qi Qi Shili.

"You guys, where do I have no worries, don't work too hard!" The two assured, and Zhao Yu was also relieved.

"Your Majesty works hard, and you need to take care of your body!" Wen Tianxiang saw that the little emperor was tired at this moment, and he also persuaded.

"Everyone is the same, fortunately, I'm young, and I can still hold on!" Zhao Hao smiled and said indifferently.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is still young, don't overwork!" Wen Tianxiang also smiled, there is no one younger than His Majesty in this Manchu Dynasty.

"Huh?!" Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and also realized that he had lost his words, and smiled embarrassedly, "Everyone is working hard, Mr. is still busy sorting out official documents, how can I be idle!" ”

Next, Zhao Yu told Wen Tianxiang a few more words, asking him to transfer the materials he received to Qiongzhou as soon as possible, and it was best to do it quietly after the curfew. One is to avoid causing panic and attracting some profiteers to take advantage of the opportunity to sell and raise prices; The second is to prevent alarming the Mongols outside the city and stimulate them to step up the siege. Then the two of them retired according to the order, he thought about it, and he was not very relieved about some things, and asked someone to summon Zheng Huchen to come to the meeting. Before the cup of tea was finished, Cai Wanyi came to ask for an audience again. Zhao Hao sighed accurately, but there was no time to slow down...... (To be continued.) )
