Two days later, Li Yanqing arrived in Qiantang County with 20,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were deployed to Jiangning, Runzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou.

After the army crossed the North Pass, they settled in the open space on the side where Wang Xiao was assassinated, and began to set up tents, build slab walls, and build watchtowers.

Li Yanqing went to Qiantang County, two miles away, under the escort of 300 personal soldiers, and now the county has not built a new city wall, but there is a tax office next to the official road, and after passing the tax office, shops on both sides of the official road began to appear on the street, and there were more houses in the distance.

There was a group of dozens of people standing next to the official road, Li Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, the person who was the leader was Cao Yun's uncle Cao Yan, as well as his father-in-law Cao Xuan, as well as several elders of the Gao family and representatives of other meritorious families, but the real magistrate was not qualified to step forward, standing in a corner like a grandson.

At this time, Cao Yan greeted everyone with a smile, Li Yanqing hurriedly turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted: "Uncle is here to greet him personally, Yanqing really can't afford it!" ”

He is a junior, and it is necessary to be modest, but he is the identity of the county king and the captain, but Cao Yan and others can't really accept his modesty, otherwise they don't know what to do.

Cao Yan hurriedly grabbed his arm and whispered to him: "You are now a captain, go home and talk about your family!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, stood up straight, and Cao Yan led everyone to bow and salute together, "See Taiwei Li!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Colleagues, please excuse me!" Yanqing this time entrusted by the official family to Xuanfu Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan Road, mainly to appease the people, stabilize the officialdom, and lay a good foundation for the next move to the capital, all colleagues are from Tokyo, it is considered to be an outpost for the relocation of the capital, I sincerely thank you on behalf of the official family, soon, the official fleet will arrive, and you will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate! ”

Li Yanqing's words made everyone's hearts excited, and they finally heard the letter of moving the capital, and everyone asked, "Captain Li, when will the capital be moved?" ”

"Captain Li, when are the officials sure to come over?"

......

"I want to go back to Tokyo to pick up something, is it convenient?"

......

The last question Li Yanqing was taken aback, he hurriedly raised his hand to quiet everyone down, and then said to everyone: "There is one thing I want to make clear to you, there is a very serious plague in Tokyo and the surrounding areas, it is summer, the plague spreads quickly, everyone wants to go back, it is best to wait for a while, and then go back when the plague subsides." ”

The topic of plague attracted another discussion, and at this time, Cao Yan pulled an official in front of Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "This is the main thing today, Weizhi County, Qiantang County, Yanqing, this time, thanks to Weizhi County's hard work, Cao Fu and Baoyanzhai can be safe and sound." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "Thank you Weizhi County!" ”

Wei Zhixian was about thirty years old, born in Taixue, and his body was slightly fat, his face was swollen and red, and he hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare!" Can't! This is what the lower officials should do, and they do their part! ”

"Why didn't Hangzhou Zhizhou and Tongju come?" Li Yanqing asked a little strangely.

"These two people ran away last night, they are all lackeys to the family, and I don't know where they went?"

After Cao Yan finished speaking, he gave Li Yanqing a look, Li Yanqing understood, and said with a smile: "If Wei Zhixian is not too troublesome, let's temporarily serve as a general judge in Hangzhou!" I will be officially appointed after I am in the official house. ”

Wei Zhixian was suddenly excited, after moving the capital, Hangzhou was upgraded to the capital, and the general sentence was Shaoyin, which was promoted to three levels in a row! Of course, he knew that he was not qualified enough to be promoted to junior Yin, but as long as he performed well, he could also be released as a general judge in Shangzhou.

"Thank you Captain Li for your promotion!"

Li Yanqing served as the commander of the counterinsurgency army, and he had a certain right to appoint and dismiss the state officials who participated in the rebellion, mainly for Jiangning Prefecture, Yangzhou, Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Xiuzhou, Xuanzhou and other eight prefectures and one government.

So far, Li Yanqing appointed Cao Sheng as the general judge of Yangzhou, Lu Zhiyuan as the general judge of Changzhou, and Mo Jun as the general judge of Suzhou.

After a few more greetings, everyone dispersed, and then the new acting Wei Tongju accompanied Li Yanqing into the city to visit.

.........

Li Yanqing came to Qiantang County for the first time, and the scale of Qiantang County was beyond his imagination, and he remembered that Qiantang County was originally the capital of Wuyue Kingdom, and the foundation of the capital was solid, so the streets were generally wide, green trees, and most of the houses were well built, but it seemed that the population density was very large, the streets were full of pedestrians, and commerce was very prosperous, and he did not feel the breath of war at all.

Occasionally, however, a troop of cavalry would walk through the streets, maintaining order in the city.

"Tai Wei, over there is the original old city wall, which has been demolished!" Wei Tongju pointed to a pile of remnants of the city wall in the distance.

"Where are the new walls going to be built?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"The east city wall remains unchanged, close to the Qiantang River, but it needs to be extended, the west is close to the West Lake, it will not be built for the time being, now it is mainly the north and south city walls, the south city wall is south of the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, this has been determined, the north city wall has not yet been determined, but the general consensus is to repair to the Huantang River, so that the area of the city is about the same as Tokyo City."

"There's a lot of open space over there!"

"That's right, there is a lot of vacant land in the north, which is currently official land, and the government will build a large number of public housing for rent, which will greatly reduce the rental pressure of civilians. Now the housing prices in Qiantang County are almost the same as those in the heyday of Tokyo, and it costs 800 wen per month to rent a house, which is really outrageous. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "This matter can't wait, we must start building houses immediately, a large number of people in the capital will go south soon, and Qiantang County will add hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not possible to live without a house." ”

"I understand the lowly position, but I still have to allocate money and materials from the court to build the house."

This time, Li Yanqing exterminated the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, and successively seized more than 200,000 taels of silver and 500,000 yuan of money, which was intended to be used to resettle immigrants from the north, Li Yanqing immediately said: "I will allocate 500,000 yuan to the Hangzhou government tomorrow, and this money will be used to build public housing, and it is not allowed to divert it elsewhere, and 30,000 public houses must be built within three months, and the monthly rent of public housing must not exceed 500 yuan." ”

When Wei Tongju heard that hundreds of thousands of immigrants were coming, he was a little nervous, Li Yanqing saw his worry, so he comforted him with a smile, "Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are coming, and there will be a large number of court officials who are responsible for arranging them, and the immigrants will live in tents first, and then slowly move into the city. ”

After a pause, Li Yanqing said again: "But as a local vice minister, you need to do your own things well, like the public rental housing I just said, as well as epidemic prevention, public security, etc., only by doing your own things well, your acting judgment can be turned positive, Wei Tongju, this is an opportunity, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Wei Tongju nodded, "I understand the humble position, thank you for the reminder!" ”

At this time, Li Yanqing saw a mansion full of soldiers standing in front of it, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Whose mansion is that?" ”

"Captain Qiyu, the Zhu Mansion, the Zhu family originally had three mansions in Qiantang County, General Wang drove them all to one mansion and sent troops to guard them."

"What about the Zheng family and the Xiang family?"

"The Zheng family is the same, the three families are merged into one family, there are soldiers guarding them, and there are soldiers guarding Xiangfu, but it is an empty house, there are only some maids and servants in the house, and the old and young Xiangfu have run away."

Li Yanqing thought about it, now is not the time for him to come forward to deal with it, he needs to exchange opinions with the Cao family before making a decision.
