Qingzhou City suddenly became lively. Although the previous county town had a large population, it was like a big cage, and countless people were detained in it one by one, working hard in exchange for a bite of food, and only a small number of people could really live freely in the city, and these people were basically the families of those elite troops taken away by Lu Must, the dependents of county officials, and some big businessmen with heads and faces. So although there are a lot of people, the real excitement is limited to a few places.

But now it's different, one by one the fang markets have been opened, everyone can walk freely, and many unrestrained fang residents have walked out of the small fang market they have lived in for several years for the first time, and looked at the completely different Qingzhou county town with wide eyes and novelty.

The Daqin banner flying high above the city is gone, replaced by the sun and moon banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qingzhou soldiers in yellow leather armor are no longer patrolling the streets, but groups of Daming soldiers in black armor, lined up in neat lines, walking in the streets and alleys.

On the street, there is an endless stream of carriages, unloading trucks and transporting them into the shops, and the little ones stand at the door of the store, shouting loudly, showing off the benefits and cheapness of their goods.

Qingzhou County is now full of business opportunities. Thousands of people were freed, they became freedmen, and at the same time, they were paid a large amount of severance pay, whether they were to resettle in the city or return to their hometowns, these all-encompassing goods were urgently needed.

Ying Bo helped his old father out of a medical hall, but in fact, his old father was not seriously ill, but was caused by fatigue and hunger. The old man is very distressed about his two grandchildren, he usually has a bite to eat, and he always tries to save it for the two grandchildren to eat, and he will inevitably eat less. But now that their family has gone to see the blue sky, the two fathers and sons of the Ying family are extremely rough craftsmen, and they are innocent, with wives and children, such people are the kind of craftsmen that the Ming government likes the most. Therefore, Ying Bo was selected by the scale in the first batch, and he was going to leave Qingzhou City for Kaiping County in the near future.

Both of them are skilled craftsmen, and their monthly salary is ten taels of silver, and the father and son can get twenty taels of silver in a month, and it is two hundred and forty taels a year, which is an astronomical amount for the Ying family, and they never imagined that they could still earn such a high salary. This money is enough for them to live a prosperous life.

The family does not have any nostalgia for Qingzhou City, only painful memories are left for them, if it weren't for the old man's body has not recovered, Ying Bo would have left immediately with the package on his back.

The daughter-in-law is holding the two children at the door of the medical hall, and the two children are holding a string of grain gourds in their hands, and they are carefully licking one bite at a time.

In the past, Ying's family was penniless, and after negotiating the salary with the officials who came from the Ming Dynasty, Ying Bo tentatively said that he wanted to withdraw a month's salary first, but he didn't expect that the official would be very bold and take out the money on the spot, but he just asked Ying Bo to put a handprint on this booklet, and Ying Bo was illiterate. The money he got was not the copper coin or silver in Ying Bo's impression, but a stack of thin pieces of paper, he was a little suspicious, but when he walked out of the market, he was relieved to see that all the people in Qingzhou City used this kind of paper when buying and selling goods.

In fact, Qingzhou City has been using this currency issued by the Ming Kingdom for several years. Lu must have had extremely frequent commercial and trade exchanges with Kaiping County of the Ming State, and the currency of the Ming State has long since silently replaced the original Qin currency used in Qingzhou County. It's just that craftsmen like Ying Bo are detained in the market and have no chance to contact the outside world at all, so they don't know what this thing is.

"Is Daddy alright?" The woman asked softly.

"It's okay, it's just that the body is empty, and I'll come back if I make up for it." Ying Bo looked at his daughter-in-law happily: "If you go to Kaiping County, you don't have to come out to do things in the future, just bring two dolls at home." ”

The woman used to suffer a lot with him, she had to work like him during the day, and she had to take care of the housework when she went home at night, and then she had twenty taels of silver in the family a month, so where did she need a woman to work?

The woman was also very happy and nodded her head again and again. I just feel that life has suddenly brightened up and become extremely energetic.

The family didn't buy anything, and they were about to leave for Kaiping County, I heard that it was much more prosperous than Qingzhou City, where did the things here come from, and where they arrived, they could naturally buy them again, and now Ying Bo couldn't wait to set off immediately. You must know that there are still a few families like him in the fang, who have been leaving with the officials of the Ming Kingdom for several days, and he has to wait for the second batch to leave.

Good days await you!

His heart was filled with joy.

Everyone in the city is very busy, and the busiest one is undoubtedly Han Kun. As the first county guard of Qingzhou appointed by the Ming court, he can't wait to turn himself into three heads and six arms, and handle everything in front of him and every year perfectly, so that the Ming Emperor and the political hall can realize his ability.

He is indeed a capable one. Lu must have led the army well, but the governance is not very good, Qingzhou County's previous government affairs, are handled by Han Kun, and the emergence of those fang markets, is one of Han Kun's great inventions, in order to pay as little as possible in exchange for a greater degree of income, Han Kun made these closed fang markets back then, and used the way of managing the army to manage these people, so that they could create countless materials and ordnance for the Qingzhou army.

Stabilizing Qingzhou County is his first priority. In fact, stabilizing Qingzhou County is equivalent to stabilizing the entire Qingzhou County, because there are no people in the entire Qingzhou County except for Qingzhou County and its surroundings.

The first step, of course, is the army. Lu's elite troops are gone, but there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed in the county and the surrounding military camps.

Daming did not send too many troops into the county, and did not want to stimulate the army in the city too much, from the Qingzhou county town decided to surrender to the present, the army sent by the Ming into the city, but only more than 1,000 people, but a lot of various officials were sent, mainly to assist Han Kun in dealing with various affairs.

There is no better way to stabilize the army than to let them lay down their arms. Han Kun's first step was to pick a group of reliable people as his henchmen, and then began to dismiss these troops one by one, each soldier can get a generous severance pay, according to the year of enlistment to stipulate the amount of severance pay, the longer the years, the more money, even if they have just been recruited this year, there are ten taels of silver severance pay.

The second step of severance is placement. Qingzhou County is now more land, Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of the prefectures and counties, a hundred miles of uninhabited, Han Kun with a stroke of the pen, everyone who is willing to return to the hometown can get 100 acres of land, land deed documents, the county government on the spot.

There was money to take and land to plant, and most of the dismissed soldiers immediately happily carried the silver, took these land deed documents, and went out of the city and returned to their hometowns with joy.

Even those who are unwilling to go back to their hometowns, the government has also prepared a second set of methods, countless local merchants in Qingzhou and merchants from the Ming Kingdom, calling the number to solicit workers on the street, as long as they go to work, they can immediately sign the contract in black and white, gather dozens of people, these business owners will take them out of the city to sell goods or buy back goods in the Ming Dynasty, in short, during this period of time, it is necessary to let these former soldiers leave the county and disperse them as much as possible.

Every day that passed, some of the soldiers would leave the county town and embark on the road home, and Han Kun's heart would be at ease. And the Ming army entering the city is also increasing day by day, and the city is basically under the complete control of the Ming army, even if he wants to make trouble now, Han Kun is not afraid at all.

In order to disperse these soldiers and horses stationed in the city as much as possible, Han Kun can be regarded as a strange plot, and even the merchants of the two places have been perfectly used by him, in a short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingzhou County have been dissolved invisibly, so that this huge hidden danger no longer exists, this ability, so that Chen Zhihua is also amazed, you know, in this process, he and his army have been watching nervously here, once something is wrong, the Ming army will drive straight in. However, in this way, it is inevitable that people will be killed, which is not a good thing for Qingzhou County, which is already sparsely populated.

Under the influence of Qin Feng, the local ministers of the Ming Dynasty attach great importance to the number of people, and only someone can create everything, and many border officials of the Ming Dynasty have suffered from a lack of people, Chen Zhihua is one of them, the Kaiping County was tossed by the Qin people to only three or two big cats and kittens, after he entered Kaiping County, there was a period of time that it was extremely difficult, and the same is now Taoyuan County Shou Benkuan, a dignified feudal official, personally ran to the Tiger Prison Pass to recruit people, it can be seen that there is a shortage of people to what extent.

These tens of thousands of troops will be the cornerstone of Qingzhou's rejuvenation in the future!

After dealing with the city, Han Kun set his sights on the military cantonments outside the city, which are different from the city, and the military cantonments are military fortresses one by one, and each military cantonment is stationed with an army of less than a thousand people, but at most four or five thousand people, and it is much more difficult to persuade them than to convince the soldiers in the city.

Just as Han Kun was on his way to these military camps, the news that Lu must have officially surrendered to Daming in Danyang County came, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief, and there was finally no obstacle to this trip.
