Chapter 30: Take Control of Liaodong

Zhang Ming's army blockaded Xiangping City for three days.

In these three days, Zhang Ming purged all the families involved.

More than a million copper coins were seized, plus a large amount of land and property.

Zhang Ming can say that he has actually controlled more than seventy percent of the resources of the entire Liaodong.

On this day, Zhang Ming reconvened a meeting in the Taishou Mansion in Liaodong.

There are still not many people coming, only Zhang Ming's four cronies and two younger brothers.

"Where are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

"The subordinates are here."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Zhang Ming call them by name directly, and they knew that it was a very formal matter.

"Now appoint you and the other two as captains in Liaodong, in charge of all military affairs in Liaodong, you and the other two need to reorganize the army for war, and the materials will be allocated immediately."

"Subordinates receive orders."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very excited, this is the school captain, Zhang Ming has the power to appoint here, and he doesn't need to go through the permission of the imperial court, which is very convenient.

"Where is Chen Yang?"

"The subordinates are here."

"Appoint you as a special driver, temporarily in charge of all government affairs in Liaodong, your task is to immediately arrange officials at all levels, select and assign county commanders, county governors, county lieutenants and other positions, so that the entire affairs of Liaodong can be put into operation."

"Subordinates receive orders."

Chen Yang was excited, and immediately became the second-in-command in government affairs, except for Zhang Ming, he was the biggest.

"Liu Gen, Liu Daneng."

"The subordinates are here."

"Promote the two of you to the county governors, but you don't have to take office, and still assist Captain Guan and Captain Zhang in recruiting and training the army."

Liu Daneng and Liu Gen were overjoyed, the two of them were ordinary big-headed soldiers, and now they were directly promoted to county lieutenants.

Zhang Ming gave them official positions, but they were only fictitious, and they were not allowed to take office, and they could not be the officials, so they continued to train soldiers in the army.

"Pillars."

"The subordinates are here."

"You have also been promoted to county lieutenant, and your task is to organize spies to find out all the news in Liaodong, and send scouts to pay attention to the movements of the enemy in the northern grasslands."

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Zhang Ming simply distributed everything in Liaodong.

It's not complicated, it's very simple.

He didn't have many talents under him, and now he has offended all the Liaodong families, and many of the original bureaucratic systems can't be used.

"Lao Tzu wants to issue the first decree, ordering all families to hand over all land within a time limit, and we will buy all of them at market price, limited to one month, and if they exceed one month, they will bear the consequences."

"The second decree is to distribute the land to the people, and one strong man is five acres of fertile land or ten acres of almost land, and it is distributed according to this standard, and if there is any remaining land, it will be recruited from the outside world, and all land cannot be bought or sold, and if it is to be sold, it can only be sold to the government at the original price, and the government will redistribute the land after receiving it."

Zhang Ming issued two decrees, which were naturally difficult to implement, so Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to do it.

That is, to tell them that it doesn't matter if they don't cooperate, just let the army take action, and they don't have to be polite at all.

Zhang Ming now has a large amount of wealth collected from the family in his hands, and intends to recruit an army of 10,000 people.

After mastering Liaodong, Xiangping City returned to calm.

Zhang Ming finally had time to deal with Zuo Feng's affairs.

Zuo Feng is still stranded in Liaodong, and it was Zhang Ming who asked him not to leave in a hurry, because the susurbilities he gave to the emperor and Zhang Rang had not yet been arranged.

"Father-in-law Zuo, this is a cart of wine, which I brewed with the water obtained by the immortals, all of it is here, if I need more wine, I also have to go to the sea to find the fairy water."

Zhang Ming pulled a cart of wine packed in clay pots, which can't be compared with Moutai Wuliangye, but the quantity is large.

Of these dozen altars, one jar is twenty pounds.

"Lord Zhang has a heart, I believe Your Majesty will know your loyalty, Lord Zhang."

Then Zhang Ming took out two gift boxes and said, "There are two gift boxes, which are for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong." ”

What is contained in it Zuo Feng is inconvenient to open, but he also knows that it is a good thing.

Then, Zhang Ming took a brocade box and said, "This is for Father-in-law Zuo." ”

What was given to Zuo Feng was a palm-sized mirror, after Zuo Feng picked it up, he suddenly blossomed, this thing can't be calculated by value, if you want to calculate it by value, it must be worth ten thousand gold.

"Master Zhang, you are really a sensible person, after you go back, our family will definitely give you a few more good words in front of Your Majesty."

Zhang Ming nodded, he was not afraid that Zuo Feng and his ilk would make trouble, but there was no need to offend him, this kind of person could still play a role sometimes.

Zhang Ming continued: "The mirror in my study that is as tall as one person is prepared for Your Majesty, but this thing is very easy to break, and in a few months, I will make special arrangements and send it to Your Majesty." ”

"By the way, there are still a few boxes of elixirs refined by immortal boys, although they can't be compared with the elixir, but they also have some effects, and they are all brought back to Your Majesty."

Zhang Ming handed Zuo Feng the Liuwei Dihuang Pill in a large jar of glass, and Zhang Ming wrote down the efficacy and usage.

Zuo Feng left happily, with the help of the eunuch and the emperor's trust, Zhang Ming could do whatever he wanted in Liaodong.

After taking control of Liaodong, Zhang Ming used the army to carry out administrative affairs, and everything went smoothly.

Most of the families were reluctant to hand over their land because it was their lifeline.

But those who are unwilling to sell, within a few days, there will be bandits to their homes to loot, the owner of the house will die tragically, and the family's belongings will become bandits.

Of course, in the end, it was all Zhang Ming's.

After more than a month of implementation, Zhang Ming took back all the land in Liaodong and distributed it to the people.

After distributing it to the people, he still had a large amount of land in his hands, and Zhang Ming could only recruit a large number of displaced people from outside.

After several months of development, all government affairs in Liaodong have been smooth, and the army has already recruited 10,000 people and conducted effective training.

In the blink of an eye, the weather in Liaodong has changed greatly, at least there are no officials and families to disturb the people.

Zhang Ming set up two more schools to teach the teaching materials he had made himself.

On this day, Zhang Ming was going to receive an important guest in the Taishou Mansion.

This person is Luo Quan, and Luo Quan at this time is already the first merchant in Liaodong.

Of course, all this is Zhang Ming's support.

"Luo Quan pays a visit to Lord Taishou."

Zhang Ming had killed so many families before, and he was also afraid, but after a few months, the imperial court had no intention of pursuing it at all, not only did it not pursue it, but I heard that the emperor also sent a commendation decree.

"Luo Quan, I want you to do a few things, first, is to go outside to buy a large amount of grain in, and then sell it to me at a higher price, second, I have a few good things here, you help me sell them, and then exchange them all for food, third, when you go out, try to bring some homeless people back, I will count the money for you, and I also need to help spread the news, Liaodong accepts a large number of homeless people."

"It's an honor to be able to do things for Taishou, how can you collect money."

"The money has to be collected so that it can continue, and of course I won't let you make too much money."

"Report."

When Zhang Ming was discussing with Luo Quan, the pillars outside shouted loudly.

Something must have happened, otherwise the pillar wouldn't have been like this.

"Come in." Zhang Ming sat on it and let the pillar come in to report.

"Yu Taishou, Wuhuan gathers troops and prepares for Koubian."
