Looking at the flames that rose into the sky, Dong Ping's eyes trembled slightly.

"There are still people mixed in, everyone pay attention!"

"Hurry up and get those people out, otherwise this front-line operation will be over!"

Seeing that the fire suddenly grew several times, the Liao soldiers inside had no choice but to pour water into it to put out the fire as much as possible, despite panic.

"Crackle."

However, tonight the east wind happened to blow, and now the wind fueled the fire, and in the blink of an eye, the ferocious fiery snake had devoured most of the forage!

Those people, as desperately trying to put out the fire, were only in vain!

"Alright, we can go." Dong Ping looked at the grass that had turned to ashes in the flames, just smiled slightly, and had already walked towards the inn.

Liu Yun and Shi Jin watched those flames raging in front of them, and listened to the crackling sound of the grass burning, and sighed slightly: A lot of good things were wasted!

Now although there is no shortage of war horses in Dongping City, due to various reasons, the forage is surprisingly small, and the external supply is not enough at all!

Despite the emotion in their hearts, the two had to follow Dong Ping and leave the forage field.

Back at the inn, Dong Ping lit the oil lamp, and in an instant, the room was already lit up.

Looking at the dim light, Dong Ping frowned, after the system was repaired, he had to find a way to get a portable electric light out, otherwise it would be too inconvenient!

Thinking of this, Dong Ping remembered that the last time the Desert Eagle was only a third of the way completed, and it collapsed along with the system, and he only hoped that the production progress would not be reset by then!

Calming down, Dong Ping sat down slowly by the edge of the bed, today's situation is really a bit strange, how did the last sky-high flame come to be?

You must know that with the fires of Liu Yun and Shi Jin, there are so many Liao soldiers fighting the fire, which is completely not enough to form such a big fire.

Could it be Yuwenling?

Thinking of this person, Dong Ping's heart became more and more unpredictable, if he came here for the same purpose as himself, then what did this person want to do?

From the first time he met this person, Dong Ping felt that something was wrong, obviously he was not a Han from the Central Plains, and he had to use a fake Han name to deceive himself, and he had been trying to find a way to enter his team.

Moreover, this person must have some purpose for Cheng Wan'er, last time he helped himself deal with Fang La, and he also said that it was for her, this person is really a little incomprehensible!

However, this person's identity is definitely not simple, you must know that Fang La's general garrison situation is actually clear to him!

Later, when he owed others a favor, he chose to leave again, and secretly deceived Cheng Wan'er again.

The more Dong Ping thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and he didn't bother to care anymore, so he directly took off the lampshade, blew out the oil lamp, and lay down to sleep.

At the same time, inside the city of Dongping.

"What's going on here?"

Zhu Wu looked at Jiang Jing and Pei Xuan Tao Zongwang standing below, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, simply put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Could it be that the funds are not enough?"

"Not really." Tao Zongwang was the first to stand up and said in a calm tone: "In the past half a month, after the direct auction of Cheng Wanli's illegal buildings, now our funds are enough to support the construction of all defense facilities inside and outside the city."

Thinking of this, Tao Zongwang was still a little speechless in his heart, and before Dong Ping left, he threw down a letter, asking them to plan the governance of the city according to the regulations above.

I don't want to read it, everyone swallows a mouthful of saliva.

According to Dong Ping's request, he asked that all the residents in the city below the subsistence line be stationed to help them get rid of poverty, and if they can't complete the task, they will directly lose their hats and leave!

And this is only the first task, and in the future, each county will have to be copied according to this set of rules, until all the people are lifted out of poverty.

However, even if all the gold reserves in Dongping City are exhausted, it is estimated that this goal will not be achieved, not to mention the large amount of money needed for military expenses and the construction of defense facilities, which is indeed somewhat stretched.

Zhu Wu wanted to break his head, and finally proposed a way to get the best of both worlds.

In addition to the necessary space, all the official residences previously built in Dongping City and the county seat under its jurisdiction were demolished, and the displaced people were sent to release the news that if the people who bought these plots of land could be exempted from their previous crimes.

Those landlords and rich people originally heard that Cheng Wanli had fallen and Dong Ping had controlled the power of Dongping City, and they had already been so frightened that they didn't dare to flee because Zhu Wu sent an army to guard it.

Zhu Wu used the money to invest in poverty alleviation and other city construction, and the landlords and corrupt officials, the two mountains that pressed on the backs of the people of Dongping, had begun to gradually shake and collapse at the same time!

As for those rich people, Zhu Wu only laughed at them, neither allowed them to go, nor directly sent these people to prison, but let them serve as farmers to legally manage the economic order and maintenance of law and order in the countryside.

After all, these people have ruled the village for so long, they still have prestige, and they also have more experience in agricultural development.

However, Zhu Wu still sent Deng Fei, Ma Lin and others to garrison the county seat with troops and horses, first, to suppress those evil clan forces, and second, to guide the implementation of the peasants' tax reduction and land division work.

According to the current new order, each peasant can divide the land into households, and only need to pay a small amount of rent to the farmer at one time every year, and in the letter sent by Dong Ping, all peasants are required to be exempt from tax for two years!

At present, these fields can be said to be privately owned, and the peasants themselves contract farmland to plant freely, and they will not have to manage the government at all within two years.

What is this concept? If it weren't for the large amount of grain stored in Jiangnan last time, Dong Ping wouldn't have dared to be so capricious! When these peasants saw that the government had so many new measures, they were moved to tears, their passion for production was unprecedentedly high, and all the young and strong labor force went into battle to do farm work!

The enthusiasm of a large number of young people to join the army also made Zhu Wu and others happy, and in the five counties under Dongping, a total of more than 2,000 recruits were recruited, and Zhu Wu handed over these people to Xu Ning to manage.

As the head of the forbidden army, Xu Ning is very happy to take over the training of these recruits, and after approval, he plans to train all these people into hook and sickle spearmen, after all, the future battlefield will be the world of cavalry, and in the environment where there is a shortage of horses in the whole world, the sword can only go sideways.

On the other side, Ling Zhen had already found Tang Long and all the blacksmiths in the city, preparing to start building artillery.

"Brother Ling, are you sure you want to do this?" Tang Long looked at the black cannon in front of him, and couldn't help but admire: "I can't believe that there can be such a strange weapon in the world!"

"Of course." Ling Zhen smiled, asked a few people to load the cannon into the car and prepare to fix it, and said: "That emperor doesn't know the power of science and technology, this time he is ready to die in the hands of people they look down on!"

For some stubborn evil forces, Zhu Wu directly sent troops to sweep and killed more than ten evil elements of a clan force, and suddenly no one dared to say a word about the new policy!

And all of the above was decided to be implemented only after communicating with Dong Ping by letter.

Although Dong Ping said that he gave Zhu Wu complete autonomy in internal affairs when he left, every few days, Dong Ping could still receive official documents from Dongping.
