One by one, they didn't know how to respond, Chen Ziqian was stared at by everyone like this, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Coughing dryly, Chen Ziqian looked at Luo Yixiu again and said: "Before entering the city, I found that the city wall was seriously damaged, many places collapsed, and there were still people who went in and out directly across the wall. ”

"In addition, the squire family from Pushan will arrive tomorrow morning to ask them about their wishes, whether they want to reclaim the land or do business, and give them tax exemption for two years, but there is one thing, now Anyi County is focusing on the development stage, let them fund to help with construction, even if it is to help build a road and build a few grass sheds, those rich people have a big business, and they will not feel sorry for this little money."

"My subordinates understand." Luo Yixiu arched his hand and asked a question: "The construction problem is not difficult, it is rare that those bandits outside the city want to destroy every once in a while, if they are not solved as soon as possible, the surrounding villages will not be able to carry out reconstruction work at all." ”

"Well, that's a tricky question." Chen Ziqian squinted his eyes slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Send people to the major mountains again, and tell them that Taishou Zeng Yuanqi has already transferred 2,000 troops and is ready to exterminate the surrounding bandits in one fell swoop, they have all seen Zeng Yuanqi's tyranny, and they think it can play a deterrent role." ”

"In addition, tell them that as long as they are willing to come back, I promise to give them 100 acres of land per ding, two ploughing oxen, and tax exemption for two years, if they still refuse to come back, he will not blame me for being ruthless."

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." Luo Yixiu was a little embarrassed: "I have sent people to persuade many times these days, but in the end they were beaten with sticks, although they did not make it clear that they wanted to join the bandits in Yumen Mountain, but they did not say that they were willing to come back." ”

"That's because they treat us as Zeng Yuanqi's accomplices, and Anyi County is dilapidated, and the city defense of this Tangtang county is not as solid as the cottage, so it's normal to be reluctant to come back."

Chen Ziqian thought for a while and said: "Lin Xiaodao listens to the order, you take a guide to run for me in person, I don't care if you are coercing and luring or killing chickens and monkeys, be sure to convey my meaning to them, this is my last patience, either bow down or wash my neck!" ”

"Whoa!" Lin Xiaodao respectfully received the order.

Next, Chen Ziqian discussed some trivial matters with everyone in the county office, and it would take a few days for the tens of thousands of homeless people carried by Luo Taibai to come over.

Along the way, there were 2,000 soldiers and horses escorted by Zeng Yuanqi, but there was no chaos.

In order to receive displaced people, Anyi County also needs to make vigorous deployments in the past few days.

First of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of eating, drinking, and lazing tens of thousands of people, and in terms of residence, Chen Ziqian asked Luo Yixiu to set aside a residential area in the county town, renovate and repair the original old and dilapidated houses, and divide the houses according to the household registration at that time.

The problem of eating was better solved, Zeng Yuanqi openly supported the development of Anyi County, gave merchants tax exemption for one year, and soon all kinds of merchants would settle in.

Moreover, he also said to the patriarch Chen Shangbo before that the grain and grass problem would be provided by the Wuling Chen family.

These things could only be carried out secretly behind the scenes, but now that even Zeng Yuanqi has spoken, the family can justifiably transport the grain and grass.

There is a solution to all problems, and now it is just a matter of waiting for development.

After retiring everyone, he looked at the various needs reported by Luo Yixiu in the county office alone, and the reconstruction of Anyi County required a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

To cut wood, to quarry and to forge and build, the county is currently up and down the household is only 800, the people are only 4,000, most of them are still old, weak, women and children.

With such a huge project, it is impossible to improve the progress in a short period of time, and even Fang Changping and his soldiers are temporarily used as coolies, cooperating with Luo Yixiu to deal with construction problems, and there is hardly a superfluous person in the city who can call on it now.

These are not the most difficult, the real rarity is always the problem of bandits in the surrounding area, if it is not cured as soon as possible, even if the construction is carried out, it may be destroyed by bandits.

Chen Ziqian learned that there were a dozen bandit forces near Anyi.

The strongest is the gang of bandits in Yumen Mountain, led by Zhan Hongxing, it is said that this person was originally the county lieutenant of Anyi County, when Zeng Yuanqi slaughtered Anyi County, the whole family died tragically in that disaster.

In order to avenge his family and the people of the county one day, this person gathered all the fellow villagers who were lucky enough to escape, and in addition to the continuous expansion of his power in recent years, there are already thousands of people under his hands.

At the same time, Yumen Mountain, which occupies a steep terrain, is not only a steep terrain, but also a major transportation hub connecting Anyi County with nearby Huaihua County.

Because this road was occupied by them, Anyi County could not carry out normal business exchanges with Huaihua County.

This is a major problem that Anyi County has been unable to solve after many county orders for many years, and it is also an important factor that has led to the inability of Anyi County's economy to develop.

Obviously, it is impossible to rely on a few words to say that this Zhan Hongxing will surrender, and this battle is almost inevitable.

Since this is the case, Chen Ziqian simply took the temptation of other bandit forces as the starting point, and first cut off the alliance between the surrounding bandits.

As long as Yumen Mountain can be isolated to the side, you can concentrate your strength to crusade afterwards, so that you can play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and then go back and clean up those small groups of bandits, and naturally you will be able to do it effortlessly.

As for the blood feud between Zhan Hongxing and Zeng Yuanqi, that is not what Chen Ziqian should consider.

There are many miserable people in the world, and if you have a grudge against Taishou, you will find Taishou, dare to block here and delay Lao Tzu's entrepreneurship, no matter if you stand on the moral high ground or what, you should kill Lao Tzu and never be soft!

Chen Ziqian is in charge of the overall situation, without this decisive decision, how can he do big things in the future?

In the next two days, Chen Ziqian was busy making decisions on construction plans in the county government office, and at the same time formulating a plan to crusade against the bandits in Yumen Mountain, and he was also very busy.

The family of squires who came from Pushan successfully settled in Anyi the next day, and they also took the time to meet with them.

These people all have a certain friendship with Luo Taibai, Luo Taibai has made outstanding achievements in Pushan County over the years, and has helped them create a lot of revenue.

But no matter what it is, Luo Taibai can give it to them, Chen Ziqian can also give it, and as long as he is loyal enough, he can give more.

With the addition of these squire families, the population of Anyi County has increased by thousands at once.

These people dragged their families with their families, and there were many tenants under them, and they were willing to help in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

If there is money, some people will contribute people, which has greatly improved the efficiency of construction.

At the same time, the grain and grass transported by the Wuling Chen family have also been delivered, as much as 50,000 stones, all of which have been filled into the county treasury for later use.

Lin Xiaodao, who was sent out to lobby the bandits on the hills, also gained success, and successfully persuaded three groups of bandits to surrender in two days, with nearly 1,000 people.

According to the agreement, Chen Ziqian re-entered the household for them, and divided each piece of land with 100 acres and two ploughing cows.

This decision really brought tears to the eyes of these poor people who had been wandering for many years, and they knelt down one after another to thank them, and worshiped Chen Ziqian as a god-like existence.

Lin Xiaodao also had a sense of accomplishment in facilitating this matter, and in order to allow more thieves to come back and settle down, he set off again non-stop.

Moreover, there are also returning bandits who are willing to accompany them to help lobby, which greatly increases the success rate.
