Li Zicheng smiled and read the message again, before putting it away, he already had a plan in his heart.

As he originally expected, the students could not be in charge now, so they could only be placed in various prefectures and counties to experience, act as the eyes and ears of the metropolitan governor's office, assist in supervising the civil affairs of each prefecture and county, and report to the metropolitan governor's office regularly in the future, exchange their own experience, and only when they are older and have rich social experience can they be used.

Food is the fundamental, now it is an agricultural society, first of all, we have to solve the problem of eating soldiers and people, even if it is coarse grain, only when the people have enough to eat, can the society be stable, and the Mandate of Heaven army can take root in Xining and Longyou.

Xining has a bumper grain harvest, Li Zicheng's confidence is sufficient, with surplus grain, he can expand the army, and even do something whimsical like a cement avenue, of course, if the grain is surplus enough, it is not impossible to build a cement avenue between Xining and Lanzhou in the future.

Silver may be a problem, but compared with food, the problem will not be too serious, this time the Mandate of Heaven Army marched into Longyou, and broke with the imperial court, it was a matter of time, once the imperial court blocked the various passes bordering the Mandate of Heaven Army, cut off commercial exchanges with the Mandate of Heaven Army, the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army, it will become a lonely land, it is useless to ask for silver, shares cannot buy goods, the key is property.

Moreover, he also saved 200,000 taels of silver in the Suwang Mansion in Lanzhou, which could be withdrawn at any time if he was in urgent need.

After processing the official documents, Li Zicheng summoned Han Shanbo at the county office.

"Subordinates knock on the Grand Governor!" Han Shanbo was originally in the main hall of the county government, and the middle hall where Li Zicheng was located was only less than fifty steps away, and he heard the call of the metropolitan governor and hurried over.

"Han Zhixian get up quickly and sit," Li Zicheng asked him to sit opposite, and asked He Xiaomi to serve tea, "Han Zhixian, how is the land and population matters going?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates first registered the population near the county seat, and then re-approved the land according to the standard of 30 acres per ding, and now it is the idle period after the winter wheat harvest, and the people do not have many complaints, most of the people have added land."

"It's a good idea to take the county seat as the center and extend it to the west!" What Li Zicheng thought of was that this gradual way could allow the people in the marginal areas to leave enough buffer time in their hearts, they were not like the people in the county seat, who had seen the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to oppose it on the surface.

And the people in the marginal areas, in this battle of the Eastern Expedition to Longyou, did not suffer much impact, and they didn't even see the hair of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so they lacked psychological fear.

However, this distribution of land is an increase in land for the majority of the people, and after Longyou has gone through bandits and soldiers, the magnates and big households have almost disappeared, but it is a good opportunity to implement the "Land Law", and the opposing forces are difficult to form and are almost negligible.

"Metropolitan Governor, there are also some people in Qingshui County, and their families have a lot of land, more than 30 acres per ding," Han Shanbo was the first magistrate of the county, obviously not daring to touch the interests of the powerful households, "For their land, do you want to maintain the status quo, or do you want to take out the excess land?" ”

"The status quo must not be maintained," Li Zicheng turned pale, and said: "If you can't take out the excess land, then take out all the family property and the head of the Xiangshang, the "Land Law" of the Heavenly Mandate Army is absolutely not changeable!" ”

"Yes, Grand Governor, my subordinates understand!" Han Shanbo had never seen Li Zicheng so severe, and his heart was sudden, and he hurriedly said: "The subordinates must uphold the instructions of the Metropolitan Governor and promote the kindness of the Metropolitan Governor to the people." ”

"Of course, after all the people have been allocated a full amount of land, if there is still a surplus of land, the remaining land can also be properly taken care of by the families who are already in excess of the quota, and idleness is also idle," Li Zicheng eased a little on the ground, "These surplus lands are already cooked land, it is better than abandoning it, and Hanzhi County must register the wealthy households." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

"In addition, Han Zhixian remembered that the people of Longyou basically have no overnight food, let alone surplus wealth, and they are not allowed to sell land to them, all the land distributed is free of charge, and the government must not make profits here, so that the original good things turned out to harm the local people!"

"The subordinates understand that everything under the subordinates is based on the people!"

"Han Zhixian, you, the parent official, have the people in your heart, this is what the Heavenly Mandate Army looks like," Li Zicheng's face slowed down, and he smiled faintly: "In the process of distributing land, are there any difficulties?" ”

"The will of the Metropolitan Governor is to let the 'cultivators have their land', and his subordinates approve of it very much," Han Shanbo bowed his hand and said, "It's just ...... It's just that in Qingshui County, there are still many Hui people, and there are some ethnic groups who can't even name themselves, these people are not obedient people in the first place, they are very fierce, let them hand over the excess land, I am afraid that they will not ......"

"Won't?" Li Zicheng snorted coldly, "I forgot to tell you that all foreign races in Qingshui County will be naturalized as Han nationals in order to enjoy the policy of 'thirty acres of land per ding', otherwise, all the land will be recovered, Longyou was originally Han land, and they are not welcome here!" ”

Han Shanbo was taken aback, but he didn't dare to refute Li Zicheng openly, "Metropolitan Governor, in case they make a mess because of this......

"Disorder? I'm worried that they won't dare to make trouble," Li Zicheng sneered: "The Heavenly Mandate Army doesn't even pay attention to the army of the imperial court, will it bow to these people of other races?" No matter how many people they have and how strong their combat effectiveness is, the Mandate of Heaven Army will take it all! ”

"Yes, Dadu, my subordinates understand what Dadu means......"

"Han Zhixian rest assured, Qingshui County is only sixty miles in radius, I will send soldiers to support you, if anyone opposes the "Land Law" of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng made a downward cutting posture with his right hand, and said coldly: "Kill or kill!" ”

This method is a bit harsh, and it is more eager for quick success, but Li Zicheng can't take care of it, if he can't quickly integrate Longyou and get the support of the people of Longyou, how will he face the army of the imperial court in the future?

Now it is too early to integrate the alien races of Longyou, however, if you want to boil frogs in warm water, the Heavenly Mandate Army has no time at all, and the war with the imperial court may break out at any time, even if the Heavenly Mandate Army achieves a partial victory, it will be a stable confrontation situation in the future, and a large number of soldiers are pinned down on the front line of Guanshan, and they will also not be able to free up.

Taking advantage of the time of distributing the land, it is a hundred, if they can't assimilate the alien race now, if they raise tigers, I don't know when, they will unite and resist the rule of the Han people, and the lessons of later generations have been deeply reflected in Li Zicheng's mind.

He is not worried that it will intensify the national # contradictions, causing the people of different races to rebel, after a long period of banditry and soldiers, the people should have long realized that in the era of war, the most offended are ordinary people!

I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!

At least the Han people will not support the rebellion of the alien race.

If you really want to rebel, it is not a bad thing for the Mandate of Heaven Army, and the Salar people in Jishi County have set an example for them: if the Mandate of Heaven Army quells the rebellion in Longyou, they can capture a large number of civilian prisoners of war, and these strong men will either build roads for the Mandate of Heaven Army, or become military slaves of the Mandate of Heaven Army and produce food for the Mandate of Heaven Army!

Prisoners of war are not paid, as long as they are given a minimum of food to keep them alive!

With the support of the soldiers, Han Shanbo had the confidence, "Governor, in this way, his subordinates will take some tough measures, not afraid that they will not give in!" ”

"It's okay to be tougher, it's impossible to succeed in blindly being gentle with these alien races, they have been spoiled by the imperial court," Li Zicheng nodded slightly, and said: "Of course, it is still necessary to salute first and then soldier, if they don't know the current affairs, then it's no wonder to us!" ”

“……”

"Last point," Li Zicheng did not want to force these alien races to rebel, in the Longyou region, their population was not much worse than that of the Han people, but since they began to integrate, they simply took one step, "Han Zhi County, while registering the population and distributing arable land, requires the people to believe in God, especially the Hui people who originally believed in the Terror Religion, etc., must abandon the Terror Religion, either cancel their faith or worship God instead. ”

"Dadu, among the population of Qingshui County, there are not a few people who believe in the Cult of Terror, and they are very devout to Allah," Han Shanbo paused for a moment, and finally plucked up his courage and said: "There are many followers of Allah, even if you cut off their heads, I am afraid you will not be able to stop them from believing in Allah!" ”

"The more devout a person is to Allah, the more he can't stay in Longyou," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Either leave Longyou and find a way out, or go to Allah early." ”

"Governor, with all due respect, my subordinates said bluntly, it may be more difficult to get these terror cultists to convert to God than to become Han nationality," Han Shanbo said with a bitter face, "Let them leave Longyou, I'm afraid it will be ...... for a while."

"It's really difficult to let them leave the land where they have lived for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Han Zhixian, these alien races are not monolithic, in addition to the Hui people, there are many people who have long lost the traces of their ancestors, if you adopt the strategy of differentiation, it will be like treating the native......s."

"The Governor is saying that he will create some contradictions between them......"

Li Zicheng avoided answering, but just smiled: "Unite a group of people who support the policy of the Mandate of Heaven, influence a group of people who wait and see, and crack down on a group of diehards......

"Metropolitan Governor, my subordinates have some understanding," Han Shan Boxin said, this Metropolitan Governor is not only a good hand at war, but also has a good time in government affairs, he is still so young...... He was shocked in his heart and said, "Governor, after the subordinates go back, they will immediately send people to communicate with some foreign races!" ”

Heart? Li Zicheng suddenly realized that he obviously had a good card in his hand, but he forgot to use it!

encouraged Han Shanbo a few words, let him retreat first, and when Li Zicheng immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book to Tanaka in Haomen County, he asked him to immediately escort Tian Fen to Longyou and reunite with him.
