A troop of men and horses entered Luyi and put on a posture of not leaving, so that it was impossible for the squires in the city to turn a blind eye.

They were afraid that these thieves would come to rob again, so they didn't dare to come out one by one, they wanted to avoid the limelight, and waited for the other party to leave before coming out, but the other party put on a posture of not leaving, then they just wanted to hide, and they couldn't hide if they were afraid.

At this time, the squire heard the thieves read out the notice of the people, and saw that they took the initiative to clean up the ruins in the city, and felt that this group of thieves seemed to be a little different, so after summing it up, he came to the county office to ask for a meeting, wanting to inquire about the situation.

After all, they want to live in Luyi, and no matter what the thieves want to do, they can't escape.

The second brother Gao sorted out his appearance, hurriedly came out, and saw several old men standing outside the yamen, looking a little uneasy. Looking at a few vicissitudes of life, the second brother walked over with a kind smile on his face, and when several old men saw him, they immediately quieted down.

"Elders, I am Gao Yihuan, the governor of Luyi County." The second brother walked up to them and arched his hand, "You guys came just in time, I just arrived in Luyi, and I wanted to know about the situation in Luyi, so you guys came over." ”

The second brother turned to the side, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, let's talk inside." ”

Since he sent it to the door, it was a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head anyway, and a few old men could only enter the county office with their heads and follow Gao Yihuan into the lobby.

At this time, Gao Yihuan sat down on the main seat, asked Zhao Zhuzi to bring them a chair, and served coarse tea, and waited for them to sit down before he spoke: "A few of them must be highly respected elders in Luyi County, I don't know how many of them came to me, do you have anything to ask?" ”

Several old men in the hall saw that Gao Yihuan was more polite to them, and after a few people were nervous for a while, an old man came out and said: "My lord, the old man's surname is Yang, and he listens to the accent of Duwei, but the people of Kaifeng Mansion?"

Gao Yihuan thought that the old man was going to ask him something else, such as how he planned to treat them, but he didn't expect him to ask such an irrelevant question.

The second brother was stunned, but then he seemed to understand something, so he said in a very authentic Henan dialect: "I am indeed from Chenliu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and we are all township parties, so if you have anything to say, you can say it bluntly."

"Sure enough, it's us from Henan!" After listening to Gao Yihuan's words, the old men in the hall, who were originally a little cramped, became a lot more active, "I just said that the thieves who came this time ~ army ~ are different from last time ~ "

The old man Yang listened to Gao Yihuan's words, seemed to be encouraged, and asked again: "That adult is a subordinate of Li Gongzi of Qixian County?"

Gao Yihuan somewhat understood that the gang of people in Shaanxi were too ruthless in harming Henan, but in the army, Li Yan's reputation was actually quite good.

When these people saw that he was from Henan, they did not rob after the people entered the city, but instead pacified the people, so they regarded him as Li Yan's people.

Since they think so, the second brother must be Li Yan's person.

At this time, the second brother smiled and did not deny that the Henan dialect was more authentic, "My father is indeed a staff member of Li Gongzi." ”

When everyone heard that it was really Li Yan's person, they settled down a lot, and the old man finally got to the point, "My lord, this time you are stationed in Luyi for a long time?" If you stay for a long time, you don't know this money and food~"

Gao Yihuan said that he was Li Yan's person, but Li Yan was also a thief after all, just a little better than the gang in Shaanxi, and they were still worried that Gao Yihuan would continue to loot them.

"It is a permanent station, and in the future, the military, government and civil affairs of Luyi will be under my management." Gao Yihuan knew their worries, so he simply said bluntly, lest they think too much, "I know your worries, you can rest assured, I am from Henan, and I am here to protect Luyi and prevent others from harming you." ”

None of the old men present believed what he said, but they all had a smile on their faces.

The second brother continued: "Captain Bendu is stationed here, you don't have to think too much, in the future, you will pay taxes as usual, and I will not pay any more than anything, and I will cancel all the other three salaries for you." What do you think? ”

The invasion of the army is conducive to the pay system, and they fall into the hands of the invasion army, which of them is not shedding, or even their lives are not guaranteed.

These old men were a little surprised when they heard that as long as they paid taxes normally, they would be exempted from three salaries and not let them be paid.

"Lord Lieutenant, this is true." The old men couldn't believe it, this gang of thieves was better than the official army, and it always felt unreal.

"Everyone is a township party, what am I going to do with you?" Gao Yihuan patted his chest and said: "You have also heard the notice that I asked people to read in the city, so it will be counted as the three chapters of the covenant between me and you." If my people dare to do evil or extort, you can come to me and I will be your master, but you must also abide by the rules I have set. ”

When a few people heard him say this, although they didn't dare to believe it all, they were at least better than those who put the knife on their necks as soon as they came up and grabbed it directly.

"In this way, it is really a blessing for the people of Luyi!" Seeing the attitude of the second brother Gao, a few old men reluctantly took a reassuring pill, and arched their hands: "Lord Duwei can restrain his subordinates, and the old men are grateful, and it is also a kindness to the people of Luyi." ”

"If you can do this, what is the use of us, please do not hesitate to ask."

Gao Yihuan really has something to look for them, and now that the city is in ruins, if he wants to restore Luyi, he will definitely not be able to rely on him alone.

"I originally wanted to settle down first, and then send someone to invite you over to negotiate, but today you actually came, so I'll talk about a few things first."

A few old men finally said politely, but they didn't expect the second brother to really have something to tell them, and the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but stiffen, and they were a little embarrassed.

The second brother Gao continued: "I was ordered to guard Luyi this time, and I have been stationed for a long time, and the most important thing at the moment is to restore Luyi, but I don't have any materials in my hands, and I still need everyone to work together." ”

Isn't this still a robbery? When several old men heard this, their faces were ugly again.

I robbed them once before, and I have already taken away most of their family wealth, and now I am still looking for them for supplies, so they will really have to go bankrupt.

Gao Yihuan saw the expressions of several people, and hurriedly continued: "Don't misunderstand, I want to ask if there are any businessmen among you?" If so, I hope you can purchase some materials from other places as soon as possible, I will spend money to buy them from you, the price is absolutely fair, and we will revitalize the business of Luyi first. ”

When a few people heard him say this, their faces turned from cloudy to sunny, and the old man Yang arched his hand and said: "My lord, there are a few shops in the old man, but the current situation in Luyi City, the old man is reopened, and I am afraid that no one will buy it." ”

Luyi was looted, and most of the people in the city could not come up with money, so business naturally could not be restored.

For this point, the second brother Gao still had some ideas to stimulate the economy, he smiled, "There are eight hundred soldiers living in the city, and hundreds of families will come over later, I will pay these soldiers, it depends on whether you have the ability to make money from them." ”

If these soldiers are willing to give money honestly, it is really an opportunity, but trust has not yet been established between these old men and the second brother Gao, and they are not sure whether these thieves will buy and sell strongly, or even not give money directly.

Old man Yang was a little worried, but he couldn't say it, so he could only speak: "Then the old man will try to bring some goods back." ”

The second brother nodded with satisfaction, "In addition, I am going to clean up the ruins in the city and replan the city. ”

At that moment, the second brother said a few words to a few people, barely appeased these villagers, and personally sent them outside the yamen.

After dealing with this matter, the second brother walked back to the yard in a good mood.

At this time, he was standing in the courtyard, but a child took a wooden knife and poked him in the buttocks, so painful that he turned his head with bared teeth.

The second brother looked back and saw that it was the little boy rescued by Wu Shizhao, who was poking him with a wooden knife.

This kid is pampered at first glance, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he probably hasn't been beaten, he saw the second brother looking back at him, and still poked the second brother with a wooden knife.

The second brother was suddenly furious, eager to slap him to death, snatched his wooden knife, and then squatted down and pinched his tender face, and said fiercely: "Hey, you kid, you look okay, but why do I look so annoying~"

The second brother was so energetic that he pinched the child out of shape, and the child cried instantly with a "wow", so loud that the whole yard could hear it.

When he cried, the second brother was a little at a loss, and at this moment, the door of a room behind him was opened, Liang Yizhang leaned against the door with a pale face, and roared at Gao Yihuan with tears, "You let go of me~"

When the second brother heard this, he glanced at Liang Yizhang who rushed over, and then looked at the child who was pinched and deformed, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and his hand quickly let go......
