Hou Liangzhu heard that Liu Ximing was willing to accept these captives, and he didn't know his fox tail.

"There are a lot of people in my camp, and 5,000 stone is just a drop in the bucket." , Hou Liangzhu looked pity.

Liu Xi's teeth tightened, and he suddenly felt a little painful, this old man is too fucking black.

"Seven thousand stones", he looked at Hou Liangzhu's eyes, and burst out word by word, "There can't be more, and the students have a little bit of spare energy." ”

Hou Liangzhu immediately laughed when he heard this, and patted Liu Ximing on the shoulder with a pair of big hands, "Hahaha, the virtuous nephew has such benevolence, and this generation is blessed." ”

Liu Ximing suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then laughed, "Thanks to the completion of the Governor, the students must inform this generation that every household should set up an immortal tablet for the Governor." ”

"Hahaha", Hou Liangzhu couldn't help but laugh, this kid is good enough.

Hou Liangzhu's 10,000-strong army rushed in the starry night, and he was already tired and out of breath, and now although Pengzhou has annihilated most of the Liukou, Zhang Xianzhong's main force is still fleeing.

Hou Liangzhu is the chief soldier of Sichuan and the governor of the five armies, and he can't stop until Zhang Xianzhong is driven out of Sichuan.

The soldiers rested for half an hour, and could only follow the trajectory of Zhang Xianzhong's troops under the supervision of the generals again.

Of course, all the corpses of the thieves under Pengzhou City were taken away by Hou Liangzhu's department, which was evidence of meritorious service, and the prisoners were thrown to Liu Ximing's Longxiang camp for disposal.

"Second brother, what should I do with these manpower? Do you want to take it straight back to the village? ”

Yu Yongkai was sent by Liu Ximing to command the fleet, while Mu Jingnan, Li Jingsi and others stayed behind to help him collect the prisoners.

Hearing Mu Jingnan's question, Liu Ximing already had a plan in his heart.

"It's still the old way, first publicize the matter of our family letting them live, let these prisoners screen themselves, and settle down outside the city for the time being."

"Lao He", Liu Ximing looked at He Tianlei, who mysteriously appeared, "How is the city cleaned up?" ”

"Huh?"

Mu Jingnan and the others all looked at He Tianlei suspiciously.

He Tianlei looked left and right, and found that the surroundings were full of people from Liujia Village, and a gloomy smile appeared on the yellowed human skin mask.

"It's all dealt with, the scribes and officials at all levels of the Pengzhou Prefecture Ya, and the slightly larger households in the state city have all died in the chaos, and I can't see whose hands and feet it is."

Mu Jingnan, Li Jingsi and the others were shocked, what does this mean, and they all turned their eyes to Liu Ximing one by one, hoping to hear some useful information.

Liu Ximing looked at the blank eyes of these subordinates and smiled, "Pengzhou City is already dilapidated, and the Zhizhou and other officials have been killed, and the imperial court can't take care of it for a while. ”

"Pengzhou is only more than 20 miles away from the village, and it just happens to hold the upstream waterway, if we can occupy this place, our family will have another buffer place."

Mu Jingnan hesitated a little and said: "Second brother, isn't occupying the state city no different from rebellion, although our family is strong, but ......"

He subconsciously looked up and looked around, and his voice unconsciously lowered a little, "Is it a bit hasty to start at this time?" ”

Seeing Li Jingsi and the others nodding, Liu Ximing punched Mu Jingnan's chest.

"Hahaha, you kid, what do you think about every day, am I such a person who can't tell the difference?"

The circle of officers around Liu Ximing all smiled unnaturally, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ximing looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he said leisurely in a small voice: "What if I really want to launch?" ”

"That's naturally the only second brother's order!" , Mu Jing didn't hesitate, and replied directly loudly.

"Yes, we will sacrifice our lives to obey each other", Li Jingsi, Zhang Jingliang and others immediately echoed.

"Hahaha", Liu Ximing was in a good mood, and raised his hand to ask everyone not to give a salute.

"It's good if everyone has this heart, brother, I plan to live a few more years."

"Hey, hey, hey", the group of people touched their heads and laughed.

Liu Ximing laughed for a while before he said: "Of course it is impossible to rebel, but it is not difficult to control the state city. ”

"As I said just now, Zhizhou and other officials of all sizes are not in the hands of the Yuanjiao, and now there is very turmoil in eastern Sichuan, and these official positions will be vacant for many days, and this is a good opportunity for us to get started."

"He, Assistant Manager He has removed all the homes of the officials in the city, and now we only need to arrange our people to run the administrative work of the entire state city, and in the future, there will be new officials in office, and we can only be at our mercy."

Liu Ximing has been traveling over for a few years, and he doesn't know that the administrative work of this dynasty is actually in the hands of yamen officials at all levels, which is why he let He Tianlei do it.

Now that all the officials in the yamen have been removed, and so many people in and outside the city have been slaughtered by the Yuanjiao, the land under the names of these people can be returned to their own names by changing the name in the state yamen, so that the entire state city is not controlled by their own family.

In the future, even if the new governor arrives, he will not know anything about all the land and grain book data, except for relying on the Liu family, what he will use to pay taxes and pay the imperial court.

"This is a good idea, but no one of us has ever done the work in the yamen, so how can we make the yamen run in a hurry?"

Mu Jing is worthy of having been trained in Hexi Town for so long, and he has some feelings about governing a place.

Seeing that he was the only one here with experience, he immediately asked about his concerns.

Liu Ximing was a little happy all of a sudden, "What do you think I sent my uncle and Deheng to Nanchong County to help out?" ”

"The second brother is far-sighted, I admire it", Mu Jingnan suddenly realized, and gave a big gift to Liu Ximing with a clean face.

"Hahaha, don't talk nonsense, send some people back to the village to report, there must be at least fifty officials in the state government, and there will be thirty officials and hundreds of helpers, all of which are from our village."

"In addition", Liu Ximing looked at Mu Jingnan, "Let Long Xiang Camp help count the information of the displaced people outside the city first, and when the people arranged by the village arrive, let them also count the city, don't care about the yellow book on the official face, but we must have the most accurate data in our hands." ”

Liujiacun, the registration studio's specialty, both Mu Jingnan and Li Jingsi knew the significance of mastering various population information, and several people immediately resigned excitedly to make arrangements.

Thinking that Pengzhou City was about to be under his control, Liu Ximing couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

As for He Duan, although he is also from Shunqing, he is a military attaché, if he dares to do such a thing, he is afraid that he will be arrested by the state officials.

This is not the end of the sprout, and the deterrent power of civilian officials against military generals is not ordinary.

Of course, Liu Ximing didn't plan to treat him badly, and some of the property in the city was also divided into him.

After carefully considering whether there were any other matters missing, Liu Ximing also took a group of guards to devote himself to the aftermath work.

"Dangdang Dang"

The sound of gongs ringing resounded throughout the prisoner camp, and Lin An squatted to the side with his head in his hands, watching a group of soldiers in waist-high armor walk into the detention area.

First, a young man wearing a large iron hat with what appeared to be two goose-yellow leaves and two horizontal bar-like badges pinned to his shoulders stepped forward.

"Fellow villagers, old and young, you have bumped into great luck, it is said that people like you who are thieves and thieves, the court is generally executed on the spot."

There was a commotion among the captives.

The man glanced across his eyebrows, and the captive's voice slowly lowered.

"If you don't say that you are lucky, you just happened to meet my second brother, Liu Xi, the talented minister of Shunqing Mansion, ordered Master Liu to be present, and after many begging, he finally saved you from the hands of Hou Dudu, for which my second brother paid tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy your life."

Ignoring the shock of the captives, the man continued: "Now that you are a member of the Liu family, as long as you cooperate, most of them can save their lives, and even live very well. ”

"Now, first identify the old thief among the thieves."

The real old thief had already seen the opportunity to run away with Zhang Xianzhong, and there were not a few in the camp at this time.

These officers and soldiers asked everyone to report the most heinous people, but this time everyone was much more active.

When the crowd was cleared, someone came out and asked the captives to line up one by one to register.
