Chapter 167: Yang Kai who has become smarter

Three days later, the main force led by Shi Zhuang, Tu Lichun, Shen Congxing and others caught up with Li Ze's migratory army. As Fox Yi, which is now Li De, stated, there was not a single prisoner, but there were a lot of loot.

"Childe, I only got less than three hundred war horses, but I have gained more than a thousand sets of armor." Shi Zhuang was a little regretful, "They are all good horses, but unfortunately most of them were burned to death in the city."

In the first battle of Texas, the Heng Navy, which had the opportunity to rush out of the city, was attacked by Shi Zhuang, Tu Lichun and others at the west gate of the city. Including Zhu Yannian and Ai Song, none survived.

The fire burned for a whole day and night, and finally it was a heavy rain that extinguished the embers, but at this time, the city of Texas had long ceased to exist, and even the outer city wall was almost burned, and most of the places had collapsed. Under such a fierce fire, all the horizontal navy in the city that did not escape were buried in the fire, and there was a strange smell floating in the ruins.

The loot still has to be packed, especially things like armor are exactly what Li Ze lacks. A lot of armor was burned and deformed by the fire, but even a piece of scrap metal has the value of recycling, and there are many dead people who were not burned to death, but were smoked to death, and the fire was scorched to death, and the armor on the body was good.

It took a full day for the Wuyi army to clean up these things.

When they caught up with Li Ze, Li Ze's feet had already stepped on the land of Xindu.

"I've seen Childe." Sun Lei welcomed the dusty Li Ze into the county government where the letter was a little tattered, and during the war, the county government was extremely damaged, and it is still being repaired. And this former treasurer of Yixingtang was temporarily appointed by Li Ze as the county magistrate of Xindu.

"How's the preparation going?" Li Ze asked directly, this migratory army has now risen more than 100,000 people, and the entire Dezhou has almost been swept away by Li Ze, such a huge resettlement task is also a huge test for the entire Wuyi and Xindu.

"From the moment we received Childe's order, we began to prepare." Sun Lei said: "Xindu was first broken by Henghai, heavy losses, many families are broken, especially in the county, there is no one in ten, we have cleaned up the houses in the city, the city can probably accommodate more than 10,000 people, in addition, around the county, a large number of shacks have been erected, and one to twenty thousand people can also be temporarily housed, and the rest, Xindu will be powerless."

"It's good to be able to do this in such a short period of time." Li Ze nodded with satisfaction and said: "The houses in the city, we sell them to the rich people in Texas, I believe they are also happy to pay to live in the city, as for those who can't afford to buy a house, then live in the shacks outside the city first, and then slowly evacuate step by step."

"Sell the house?" Sun Lei was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course, those ownerless houses are all owned by the government. It's safer inside the city than outside, and I think the rich people who have migrated this time will be very happy to give their money. Divide the house into grades and put it up for auction, and the one with the highest price wins." LI Zedao.

"Understood." Sun Lei nodded.

"Is there enough food?"

"Wang Mingyi's prince raised a large amount of food, and if it was only in the form of soup kitchen, the letter could allow the resettled 20,000 or so people to live for a month." SUN Leidao.

"Almost, these Texans still have food with them! It's going to last for a month or two."

"Do you want to collect their grain as well, just like the policy on the Wuyi side?" Sun Lei asked.

Li Ze waved his hand: "These Texans have just arrived, and they are not familiar with our situation here, the most important thing now is to let them live here and settle down with peace of mind.

"Got it, Childe."

"Sun Lei, you have to do a lot of things next, one is to resettle 20,000 people, the second is to clean up and measure the land in Xindu County, and the third is to re-register the population of Xindu and recreate the household registration. Li Ze looked at Sun Lei and said: "There will inevitably be conflicts and frictions between newcomers and locals, especially many Xindu people have died at the hands of Texans, some things must be prevented before they happen, and special attention should be paid to this issue when resettled."

"Yes, Childe." Sun Lei nodded again and again: "The people who fled to Wuyi are now coming back in batches, and the Yixing Society has taken root among them, and with the help of the backbone of the Yixing Society, I believe that the local form will be stabilized soon."

"Let the Yixing Society take deep root in Xindu." Li Ze nodded with satisfaction, "With their help, you will save a lot of effort in governing Xindu."

"Childe, I've never been an official, I'm worried that I won't be able to do well." Sun Lei said with some worry: "If the son has a suitable candidate, why don't I return to Yixingtang, I am familiar with business."

Li Ze laughed: "There is nothing difficult about being an official, you only need to do one thing well, that is, to let the people under your rule be well-fed, warmly dressed, and live and work in peace and contentment. You do it first, maybe you can do it better than everyone else!"

"Childe, I'll do my best!" Sun Lei still looked uneasy.

Li Ze turned his head to look at the other person beside Sun Lei, and said with a smile: "I remember that you are Ma Lao Liu, the big name Ma Mingtao, right?" Now it's the county lieutenant of Xindu."

Ma Laoliu Ma Mingtao didn't expect Li Ze to still recognize him, and he hadn't seen Li Ze a few times, so he stepped forward excitedly and bowed: "Son, it's Ma Mingtao down there."

"You are a man of affection." Li Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Yang Kai is thinking about you very much, this time you can be the county lieutenant of Xindu, but he strongly recommends it, now the situation in Xindu is complicated, you have to work a lot hard."

"Childe, rest assured, Ma Lao Liu is sleepless, and he must make Xindu safe." Ma Lao Liu nodded repeatedly.

Ma Lao Liu can also be regarded as a typical time to run, originally just an ordinary catcher in Wuyi, just because Yang Kai showed some kindness when he was in trouble, but now the return is beyond his imagination, less than a year of hard work, he climbed all the way to the position of the county lieutenant of a county.

After 20,000 people were placed in Xindu, the rest of the people continued to advance in the direction of Wuyi. After entering Wuyi, the resettlement work became smoother. In Wuyi, the Yixing Society has gone deep into the four townships and eight miles, and Yang Kai has assigned each township, each village, and how many migrants need to be resettled in each village, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller while walking, and when they arrive in Wuyi County, there are about 50,000 people left in this migratory army.

For Li Ze, this is still a huge army, obviously, relying on Wuyi alone, he can't digest so many people, Li Ze decided to settle about 20,000 people inside and outside Wuyi County, and the rest is ready to dump the pot to Wang Mingyi.

He guarded the nest for Cao Xin, and of course he should pay for it.

Standing on top of the renovated city of Wuyi, looking at the rows of adobe houses that were being built in full swing in the city, Li Ze was very satisfied with Yang Kai.

The open space in Wuyi City is now largely gone, replaced by rows of adobe houses, although still only covered with some thatch, but compared to the shacks, it is much better. Even outside the city, such adobe houses are being built on a large scale. Originally, there were only more than 2,000 households in Wuyi, but now, it is roughly estimated that there will be more than 5,000 households in the entire Wuyi.

"Yang Kai, you are becoming more and more capable!" Li Ze said to Yang Kaidao, who had obviously gained a lot of weight next to him, which was a sincere compliment.

"It's all taught by Childe, and if you follow Childe, you will be a pig and you will become smarter." Yang Kai, who has become capable, is also getting older, bowing down, and he is not afraid of the strange eyes of Shi Zhuang, Tu Lichun and others beside Li Ze, and he is flattering.

Thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, even if he knows that Yang Kai is deliberately flattering, Li Ze is still very happy.

"Five thousand Texas captives, when you were able to settle the displaced people, you deliberately registered and selected their families to be placed in Wuyi, this thought alone is very remarkable. When these people are settled, these 5,000 young men can be completely used by me and become our source of soldiers and money. You've put a lot of effort into this, haven't you?"

"From the time they were escorted to Wuyi, the lower officials were planning this matter. Five thousand young people, you can't let it go, if you want them to work for your son with peace of mind, of course you have to settle their families." Yang Kai said: "As for those who have nothing to worry about, or those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, let the eldest prince go to settle them!"

"You are really careful, Wang Mingyi will curse you." Li Ze laughed. Yang Kai is really a person who will be revenged, Wang Mingyi abandoned Yang Kai when Li Che came to the door earlier, and now Yang Kai did not hesitate to retaliate back.

Yang Kai laughed a few times and said, "Childe, the lower official wants to ask you for something."

"Say!" LI Zedao.

"Xia Guan wants to resign from the position of Wuyi County Commander." Yang Kaidao.

"Huh?" Li Ze looked at Yang Kai strangely, this is an official fan, the current Wuyi is not as good as the previous Wuyi, and when these thousands of households are completely digested, Wuyi will be an out-and-out Shangshang County." So what do you want to do?"

"Xia Guan wants to devote himself to the affairs of the Yixing Society." Yang Kai said with great interest: "Xiaguan is the director general of the Yixing Society, and now the scale of the Yixing Society is getting bigger and bigger, not only Wuyi, but also Xindu, and then Shiyi, Xiaguan wants to do a good job in the affairs of the Yixing Society."

Li Ze glanced at Yang Kai with some surprise, this guy has really become smarter. If you really want to talk about it, the Yixing Society will be a sharp knife for his future governance of the place, Yang Kai can keenly discover the role of the Yixing Society and is determined to abandon the position of the county order, which shows that it is indeed growing.

"This matter, let me think about it first, you do a good job of the resettlement task this time, and besides, I want to find a suitable Wuyi County Order, which is not something that can be accomplished overnight, right?"

"Yes, Childe, the lower official knows, and the lower official will definitely do the things in front of him well." Obedient and listening, listening to Li Ze's tone, Yang Kai knew that this matter had become eight or nine points.

Now he sees very clearly that as long as he can firmly occupy the main position in the Yixing Society, he will definitely be able to soar in the future.
