Chapter 158: Salt Rights

When Liu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then excused himself: "The little talent is shallow in learning, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility, and ask the general to take back his life!" ”

"The word only learning can be increased slowly, but this heart is not something that anyone can have. Moreover, you have lived in Yiju County for many years, and you have experienced many things around Sang Lun, so you are naturally very familiar with the affairs of Yiju County. I'll leave this son to you to sit down, and I'm sure there will be no problem! ”

Li Xinzhong had already made a decision, and from the time he saw Liu Yi before, he felt that this person was different from others! Therefore, the subsequent questioning will deliberately pull on him, just to see what this person's character is. Such a person who is willing to die for the unkind Lord cannot be so bad in character.

"Yiju County is a salt-producing land, and it is facing the oppression of the Fu Qin forces! Although he has dealt with official affairs with Sang Lun, he has no strategy and no resourcefulness, so he is afraid that he will live up to the general's trust! If this Yiju County is made to make the people miserable, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the general, and ask the general to appoint another talent! "Liu Yi's idea is also very resolute, and he doesn't want to be this county magistrate at all.

"I have already decided on this matter, not because of my personal pleasure, but because of the needs of the people. You should be the county commander in order to do things for the people and let the people live a good life, which is a great righteousness. Since you know what is right, you should not refuse it! Moreover, under the rule of our Huashan Army, the county orders are only in charge of civil and administrative affairs, and do not care about military wars, at this point, you can rest assured! Regarding his excuses, Li Xin refuted them one by one.

"This ......!" Hearing this, Liu Yi had no reason at all.

After all, if you continue to refuse, I'm afraid it will really look hypocritical. After all, in the face of the righteousness of the people's livelihood, his loyalty to Sang Lun seems to have become less eye-catching.

Moreover, he is in his thirties and is also an aspiring person. Now there is a great opportunity in front of us, and if you miss it, you don't know when it will be.

So, in the end, he accepted the appointment. And the officials around Sang Lun basically stayed, as for whether they are suitable or not, it depends on how Liu Yi chooses. Knowing people, this is also the ability that people who are county commanders should have.

"The affairs of Yiju County, let's arrange it like this for the time being! The salt production must be recovered as soon as possible, but you must not squeeze the salt workers. This is also your people, and they should be treated as good people! I will leave a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison in this Yiju County, and if you ask Liu County for civil affairs, as for the military, it will be handed over to Deputy General Sun in charge! After the arrangements were made, Li Xin said to everyone.

"Yes, obey the general's orders!" Everyone bowed in unison.

"How's the big battle outside the city? Isn't it over yet? After a pause, Li Xin asked Peng Lin beside him.

"The last general will go out and have a look!" Peng Lin hurriedly ran out and came back after a while.

"How?"

"The war has just ended, and now the soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield. The soldiers and horses under Sang Lun have basically surrendered, and some who refuse to surrender have been killed on the spot! ”

"Very good, order Sun Tie to lead his troops to take over the salt pond and the city, and wait for new orders! Ordered General Li to collect the prisoners and take 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort the prisoners back to Guanzhong first! Li Xin nodded and said.

"Yes, my subordinates are going to deliver orders!" Peng Lin replied.

"The salt production of Yiju County will be the responsibility of the government in the future, and idle people are not allowed to meddle in it! At this point, I hope that Lu, Lin, and Tian can understand and abide by it! After the order was given, Li Xin looked at the three Lu Kun on the side and said.

Hearing this, Lu Kun and the others couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, and almost cried.

The reason why they rebelled against Sang Lun this time and put the Huashan Army in was to be able to overthrow the Sang family. In that case, the three of them would be able to divide the salt ponds occupied by the Sang family, so as to occupy the interests of Yiju County and get great benefits.

If it was according to the previous practice of Fu Qin and other forces, there would be no problem for them to think like this. After all, there have always been many preferential treatments for those who surrender.

But what they didn't expect was that after Li Xin came, not only did he not have more benefits, but even a little of his original industry seemed to be taken away.

In this case, they might as well follow Sang Lun to resist. But at this time, it was too late to say this, and the three of them quietly glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

The situation is stronger than the people! No matter how unwilling these people are, there is no way to do it at this time. However, let them just give up the property in their hands, and say that they are not reconciled to anything!

"General, our salt production is a family inheritance. There are more than 100 people in the family, all counting on these salt ponds to live. I also hope that the general will be sympathetic to us and others for their dedication to the city, so that we can continue to make salt! Lu Shan bowed and said, his tone extremely respectful.

"Exactly, please be considerate of us and others who still have families to support, and treat them leniently!" Lin Hu and Tian Wanshan also said together.

"You don't have to plead like that! You have the merit of sacrificing the city, don't I just reward it, and I will punish you for not doing it? Salt and iron official camp, this matter has been decided, and there is no room for further change. But for the three of you, I have another appointment, so you don't have to be so angry. This is good for you, not bad, and you will know it later. Seeing their appearance, Li Xin certainly knew what they were thinking, and couldn't help laughing.

"Uh, is that true? The villain is stupid, I don't know if the general can make his words clearer! The three people who were still feeling Li Xin hiding from him in his heart, after hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling that this thing didn't seem to be as terrible as he imagined!

"You go back and clean up first, and hand over your salt pond to Liu County Order for registration. In three days, you can go back to Chang'an with me! Then you will know what is going on. Don't worry, but anyone who is loyal to my Huashan Army, I will definitely not let them suffer! If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, this is the principle that our Huashan Army has always had, no matter who it is! Li Xin did not say it explicitly, but explained.

"This ...... In this case, the grass people and others are willing to obey the general's orders! This is the first to retire! The three of Lu Kun looked at each other, and there was no better way, so they had to say.

"Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in this Li Xin gourd!" After leaving the county office, the three of them did not leave immediately, but discussed together, and Lin Hu asked first.

"I don't know! But the matter of the salt and iron official camp seems to be something that cannot be changed. With our strength, it is impossible to change anything. Now the question is, we are going to Chang'an in a few days, do you think we should go or not? Lu Shan shook his head, looked at the two of them, and said.

"Whether we go or not, I'm afraid we can't help it. In the final analysis, we still have merit for the Huashan Army, and if we go to Chang'an, there shouldn't be much of a problem, and I think he won't hurt us! After all, wouldn't it be better to just get rid of us here if that's the case? Moreover, if this matter is spread out, I am afraid that it will be greatly detrimental to the reputation of Huashan Army, and with Li Xin's wisdom, he would not have thought of this! Let's go see what he wants us to do! Maybe it's really good! Tian Wanshan thought for a while, and then said.

"You're right, then let's go back and prepare according to what he said, and then go to Chang'an, and then take a look at the situation! However, the precautions that should be taken are still indispensable, and when you go back to prepare, you still have to have one more mind. At least, the family must be preserved! Lu Kun nodded, and then said in a low voice.

"Yes, this matter is important, and it should be arranged as soon as possible. I'll rush home! The two of them said in unison, and then the three of them went separately to their respective homes.

In the county government, Li Xin, Liu Yi and others were discussing political affairs together at this time.

"You heard what you said just now, there is no room for any problems in the affairs of the salt and iron official camp. In addition, the people's livelihood, you have to step up your recovery. There is food first and then salt, and if you solve these two problems, you will be a great achievement! I'll give you a month, and after arranging the things here, you can go to Chang'an and report to Wang Changshi! ”

This is Li Xin's first test for Liu Yi, if he can take care of this Yiju County well within a month, it means that this person can be of great use, and he will naturally be promoted in the future. If the task is not completed well, he may end up in this county order position in the future.

"The general can rest assured, the subordinate must be diligent in political affairs, and dare not have the slightest slackness!" Liu Yi hurriedly said.

"The Sang family has been entrenched in Yiju County for so many years, and there are many illegal things, and in these three days, they must be cleared of their illegal things. Confiscate what should be confiscated, and return what should be returned! Li Xin pondered for a moment and continued.

"This ...... Subordinates arrange manpower inventory as soon as possible! Hearing this, Leo paused for a moment, and then responded.

Li Xin has some expectations for this Yiju County, especially after knowing that Sang Lun has hoarded materials for many years. Among them, the most important ones are, of course, the grain and salt, which have been piled up a lot in the warehouse, enough for the small Yiju County to sit on the mountain and eat for several years.

In the next three days, Li Xin personally sat in Yiju County. Except for going to the place where the salt pond is located and visiting the salt workers, he didn't interfere in anything else, and left it all to the newly appointed Liu Yi to do.

Among them, the most important thing is that he abolished all the strict rules that Sang Lun had set before. Then, these salt workers were reinstated as good citizens, and in the future, they were paid for producing salt, and it was directly linked to their production.

In this way, those salt workers still have a lot of doubts, after all, everyone is not familiar with Li Xin, so they don't believe too much. But they still felt happy, after all, compared to Sang Lun, such conditions were simply too good.
