Chapter 159: Arrangement
The requirements of the common people in this era are very low, and all they want is a day's food and clothing, plus they have a place to live and eat, and they can feed a family.
In addition to the salt workers, Li Xin also personally announced that he would repeal the laws established by Sang Lun before, leaving only some necessary laws and regulations to govern the county. From this point of view, his approach won the support of the people of Yiju County, so in a short period of time, Yiju County was completely settled.
In addition, the Huashan army stationed in the city has a strict appearance and strict military discipline, and has never disturbed the people, and there are many things that help the people to be happy. Therefore, everyone's favorability towards Huashan Army has risen in a straight line, and Li Xin's name has been repeatedly sung in the mouths of the people of small Yiju County.
"You see it! Li Xin is so powerful, he has already made the people return to their hearts in a short period of time, if we don't listen to him, I'm afraid it will be a dead end! Inside the Lin Mansion, Lin Hu sighed to Lu Kun and Tian Wanshan, who came to visit.
In the past three days, Lu Kun and the others were also secretly observing the Huashan Army's every move, and after seeing all this, they completely extinguished the unwilling little flame.
Of course, they understood that with the strength of their own people, it would be impossible to fight against Li Xin's army. If there is the support of the people of the whole city, then there are still some opportunities, but now, there is no drama at all.
"Yes! It's better for us to listen honestly to his arrangement! You haven't seen that in the past two days, Li Xin has been kind and righteous to the people of Yiju County, but for Sang Lun and some of his subordinates, it is iron-blooded! I think this is clearly for us to see! Lu Shan also shook his head and gave up the unrealistic idea.
"Sang Lun is self-inflicted, for so many years, his family has enjoyed ninety percent of the salt pond in Yiju County, which is still not enough, and he also robs the people's fields and forces his lover to be slaves! The servants and stewards of his family, which one of them is not arrogant and domineering, and there are fewer things to bully the market and rob the people's daughters? Now, there are only a few people left in the entire Sang family, and the fields and family property have basically been confiscated. It is a great blessing to be able to live a stable life in the future! Tian Wanshan said leisurely.
"Speaking of which, then Li Xin is still quite kind! If it were us, for the Sang family, I'm afraid we would have cut down the grass and eradicate it a long time ago, where would there be some people left! Lin Hu said.
"This is where we are not as good as Li Xin, we do things, we always only see the present, and we are naturally afraid that the people of the Sang family will become a disaster in the future. But for Li Xin, he sees the long-term overall situation, the small Sang family is not in his eyes, as long as he and Huashan Army remain strong one day, the Sang family can only live in his shadow forever. Tian Wanshan was also quite emotional, in fact, he admired Li Xin very much.
"Are you all ready? We have to leave Yiju tomorrow and go to Chang'an! The three of them were silent for a moment, and finally Lin Hu glanced at the two of them and asked.
"The preparations that should be made have been made, and I have already explained to my family! If you hear the news of my death, don't say anything, don't care about anything, and flee to Liangzhou with your family! Lu Shan nodded.
"I'm pretty much the same! In short, this time we're going to resign ourselves to fate! Tian Wanshan sighed!
Thinking of the uncertain future, the three of them couldn't help but be silent for a while, and did not speak again.
Early the next morning, Li Xin took a thousand soldiers and horses and prepared to set off back to Chang'an. This army of 1,000 also escorted many things copied from the Sang family, and grain and salt were the most. Moreover, it can't be shipped all at once.
Therefore, after returning to Xinping County, Li Xin had to send someone to transport it again. He will leave most of the grain in Qi County to supply the garrisons in Xinping County and Shimen Pass.
The rest of the part will be transported back to Chang'an directly, which can greatly reduce the consumption of manpower and material resources.
When I went back, it was relatively fast, after all, I didn't have to worry about anything, I started from Yiju County in the morning, and when I arrived in the evening, I was already in Qi County. Li Xin rested there for one night, and explained some things to Li Erhei by the way.
"After the matter of Yiju is over, for the time being, we will not take much action, unless the situation changes too quickly. So, your problem here is to defend the line. At the same time, it is necessary to find out the situation around you, so that you can be prepared! In the evening, Li Xin and Li Erhei chatted while eating.
"Don't worry, I know what to do! Now that Fu Qin is too busy to take care of himself, he shouldn't have the strength to attack us, but what I'm more worried about is those Hu people in the north! Li Erhei nodded, and then said.
"Hu people are here, you will be beaten when you should be beaten, there is nothing to say about this! But there is no need to pursue, as long as the other party does not enter our territory, we don't have to worry about other places now. Wait until we are strong in the future, and then let's settle the general account together! Li Xin didn't hesitate about this question and said directly.
"Good! If they really come, I'll let them know how powerful our Huashan Army is! ”
"Also, I have already decided that Yiju County will be placed under the jurisdiction of Xinping County. In this way, there are three counties in Tan Binh County! You are in charge of the military affairs of these three counties, but Xinping is too guarded, I will soon arrange someone to come over and take over, and you will leave the affairs of government affairs to him! I will leave you with 2,000 new recruits this time, and you only need to be responsible for guarding the defense line and training them well! After a pause, Li Xin said again.
"That's a good idea, to be honest, when I see those official documents and stuff, I'm two big. It's better to let me lead the troops, don't worry, I will train those recruits well! Li Erhei said happily.
His temperament is relatively straightforward, to put it simply, he is relatively simple, and he doesn't have so many thoughts. Therefore, he will not feel that Li Xin is taking away his power by doing this.
And Li Xin did this, it was indeed not aimed at him, but the entire system of the Huashan Army was like this, and now it is just to make up for the last few places.
Soon, officials will also be sent to the east side of the river, and the military will be in charge of the military, and the civilian officials will be in charge of government affairs. Performing their duties has greater benefits for today's Huashan Army.
The only restriction is that there are too few officials available for deployment in the Huashan Army now, especially those who can hold such an important position as Taishou.
After eating, the two chatted for a while and rested. Early the next morning, Li Xin took his own soldiers, Peng Lin and 2,000 soldiers and horses, first arrived at Shimen Pass, and then rushed back to Chang'an City along the straight road.
Everything in Chang'an City was calm, and there were no waves because of Li Xin's departure. After the efforts of Wang Meng and others in the past few days, the entire Chang'an City has gradually regained stability.
The people of the city also began to walk the streets, and some shops finally opened, after all, everyone had to eat! Therefore, the entire Chang'an City is quite lively.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Chang'an City for several years, and I still remember the last time I came, the city was a place of decay. Later, this place was occupied by Fu Qin! Walking on the street, Lin Hu looked around for a while, and then said to the two people beside him.
"At the beginning, I thought that this Guanzhong would become the world of Fu Qin, and it should be able to settle down for a few days! What I didn't expect was that in the past few years, there has been a change of owner here! Lu Kun also sighed with emotion.
"Why are you talking about all this uselessness? Hurry up and keep up! Tian Wanshan glanced at the two of them, reluctant to talk about this topic, and urged.
Li Xin temporarily arranged the three of them in the post house, preparing to meet together after the people arrived in two days. After coming back, he called Wang Meng over as usual to learn about the situation in various places under his rule in the past few days.
"After you left, the places were basically calm, the most stable in the pass, and there were no big problems in Hedong County. A company has transferred a lot of materials to the defenders of Longguan, Shimen Pass, Hedong County and Wuguan, and there is not much surplus food in our warehouse. If you want to survive at the end of the year, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, and your plan must be implemented quickly! After Wang Meng came over, he said directly.
"Now that Hedong and Yiju County are in our hands, the plan can start at any time. I came to you today to discuss this matter! Yiju County is easier to do, the key is the salt pond in Hedong County, if we want to master it, I'm afraid it won't be too easy. At this point, I have to be prepared! Li Xin nodded, if it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have rushed back in a hurry.
"The salt ponds in Hedong County are all in the hands of the local surnames, and if you want to take them over, it will naturally not be so easy. Now there are only 7,000 soldiers and horses in Hedong, and they are still stationed in various places, so if something really happens, they will definitely be powerless to suppress it! ”
"That's the problem! So, I decided to send Penlin for a trip recently, and his 3,000 cavalry had been training for some days. Although it is not considered elite, it is still possible to deter local forces. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to let the local surname hand over the salt pond and come to Guanzhong to discuss matters! Li Xin said.
"There should be preparations or there should be, in short, let's make preparations with both hands! The cavalry will go over first, and then deal with the follow-up, so it is safe! Wang Meng nodded, quite agreeing.
"It depends on whether those people know each other or not, otherwise, I don't mind leveling them all!" Speaking of this, Li Xin's eyes couldn't help flashing a cold light, and he said coldly.
