Seeing Lu Feiqing and the others showing puzzled looks, Chen Jialuo explained, "This Nalan has a good background, and he has some connections in the court, and he knows the relationship between us and He Shen; After the loss of the territory this time, in order to shirk the responsibility, he must bite and take a bite hard, a useless person can create some trouble for the imperial court, why not do it? ”

Only then did everyone show a look of sudden realization, Chen Jialuo waved his hand and continued, "This Nalan is just an idler, it is gratifying to be useful, and we have nothing to lose if it is useless, for now, we should completely grasp Funing Mansion in our hands first!" According to my estimates, Fuzhou garrisoned eight banners are not worth a battle, Fujian Green Battalion is only 70,000, and many can only be stationed locally and cannot fight across the border, according to the intelligence of the fourth sister-in-law, the entire Fujian can draw up to 20,000 troops, plus to guard against the south, it will be up to the sky if you can take out 10,000 people, so we don't have to worry about the large force of the Tartars in a short time. ”

While he was talking, Huo Qingtong came in to report that the Manchu Funing general army had been killed, and the green battalion soldiers in Funing Mansion City had also been swept away, and Lin Hu and Geng Chen were taking their respective soldiers and horses to kill several other county towns according to the plan. Huo Qingtong took the rest of the men and horses to clean up the scattered Qing soldiers around the city, and after the report, she asked for instructions, "The local people are fierce, and there are many big families in the countryside who are strong and strong, what if these people don't obey our discipline?" ”

"We even killed the Qing soldiers, are we still afraid of these rich people?" , Chen Jialuo sneered, although since ancient times, everything has to win over the landlord class to succeed, but the current era is different, if they are still used, then even if they are seized in the future, the ruling class is full of corrupt landlords, and it is not conducive to the industrialization reform that they want to carry out, rather than cleaning them up again after the fact, it is better to exclude them from the beginning, but at the moment their own forces are still relatively weak. It is also appropriate to talk a little about strategy, "The lord of Limburg has traveled extensively in Fujian, so let the lord of Limburg send some men to follow the army. If they are aware of the current affairs and are willing to hand over the land, we can't give them some preferential treatment. Whether it is the sea trade that participates in Zhao Dangjia, or the technology obtained from Mr. Gao to start a factory, they are all up to them. Whether they change their careers to become maritime merchants or become factory owners, Chen Jialuo doesn't mind, as long as they don't continue to guard the land and make a fortune by exploiting the people.

Huo Qingtong took the order and left, and Xin Yan then reported, "Chief helmsman, now that the Funing Mansion has fallen into our hands, the officials of the Tartars are dead, and they are running. We'll have to find some people to put up the shelves. ”

"Well, you should be the new prefect of Funing!" , Chen Jialuo nodded, "You have a good reputation in the local area, and you can appease some people a little if you come forward, as for the magistrates of several other places, they will be selected from the students who have been studying government affairs with you some time ago!" Auxiliary officers from various other departments were also selected from these trainees! Chen Jialuo does not plan to unfurl the banner of the Red Flower Society for the time being, he knows what the Red Flower Society means to Qianlong, although this move is just a cover for the ears and stealing the bell in the eyes of discerning people, but as long as the flag of the Red Flower Society is not hung out directly. Where Qianlong can have a little less pressure, he can also pretend not to see it, so as to continue to concentrate the main forces in the northeast and Shandong.

Lu Feiqing listened to it for a long time and didn't hear that Chen Jialuo had a plan to gather talents, so she couldn't help but remind. "The chief helmsman, since ancient times, all those who have become great things have focused on recruiting talents, and there are still a lot of scholars who are unwilling to do so in Funing Mansion, and there may be some talents in them, we might as well post a recruitment list to recruit talents, and maybe there will be gains."

"At present, we have only just mastered a prefecture and a county, and in the opinion of these scholars, it may not be long before we will be wiped out by the army of the imperial court, and who will rebel?" , Chen Jialuo smiled self-deprecatingly. "Besides, what they learned doesn't do much to me, and our territory is still small at the moment. It's just that the people of the Red Flower Society are still taking care of it. ”

Lu Feiqing frowned when he heard this, although he was born in Taoism. But Daomen has developed for so many years, and has long integrated the ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism, in his opinion, Confucianism is still needed to govern the country, and after a little thought, he continued to persuade, "Chief helmsman, we are going to compete for the world after all, although there are many talents in the Red Flower Society, but the world is so big, I am afraid that the manpower of the Red Flower Society alone will not be able to take care of it, and these things should be considered as soon as possible." ”

Yes, there are more than 100,000 people in the Red Flower Society, how many of them may be called talents? Now that a Funing Mansion is still taking care of it, it won't take long, just one Fujian Province is not enough for these people! But these Confucian Chen Jialuo really don't want to use it! Hey, I don't know how Wu Sihua's new book is written! Chen Jialuo had a headache, "What the Taoist chief said is reasonable, but this matter is quite complicated to operate, and I have to think about it!" ”

Receiving the treasury and counting the harvest, the co-pay levied this time is still in the treasury and has not yet been shipped out, but it is cheaper Chen Jialuo, Fujian Province has divided 40,000 taels to Funing Mansion, but now in the treasury of Funing Mansion, except for Fuding County, which has not been paid, several other counties alone have handed over 50,000 taels, this official is really easy to get rich, but unfortunately Nalan Yuanshu has not yet enjoyed all the cheap Chen Jialuo. Coupled with the accumulation and confiscation of the family wealth of the officials of Funing Mansion over the years, the Red Flower Society has made a great fortune, which is enough to support the operation of Funing Mansion in a short period of time.

Sort out the household registration, count the ownership of the land in Funing, screen the remaining officials in the government, pull the most heinous ones to the place of execution and behead them for public display, and those who have less serious crimes will be dealt with according to the law, and a few honest people will be rearranged according to their personal ability after participating in the study class and passing the assessment, coupled with the deterrence of the army, Funing Mansion quickly restored order.

Seven days later, Lin Hu and Geng Chen respectively sent news that the three counties of Fu'an, Shouning, and Zhouning had also fallen into the hands of the Red Flower Society. Chen Jialuo, the official of these three counties, had already made arrangements, and three young talents who had performed well in the study class and had made outstanding contributions in the government affairs internship in Fuding County had won the positions of magistrates of these three counties.

After a year of preparation, a small situation has finally opened up, and the most important thing now is to firmly grasp this territory in their own hands, and at the same time prepare to deal with the upcoming attack of the Qing army; Where will this first wave of enemies come from? On land or on the sea? (To be continued)
