Next, Li Yanzhi spent another month to implement the issue of pensions for those soldiers who died in the Battle of Jincheng in Lingju County.

In this month, whether it is Li Yanzhi or his subordinate generals, as well as Tao Heng's more than 20 Longxi soldiers, and more than a dozen errand soldiers in the county government. They were all busy. Every day, ox carts run between the county and the surrounding villages. In the end, the pension received by each family was only two hundred yuan, a dozen pieces of cloth, and three stones of grain. Although these goods are not abundant, they are enough for these families to save money and land for a year. For a while, the families of the fallen soldiers praised Li Yanzhi.

What gave Li Yanzhi a headache was that these goods looked like a lot. However, after such a toss, nearly half of it has gone. In addition to the Dou Ji grain shop, which occupies a full one-sixth of the area of the county, there is still a lot of grain in the granary, and the assets obtained by the raid are only more than 100,000 yuan and a pile of silk cloth, jewelry, jade, and so on. Although these things are converted into assets, there are still two or three hundred thousand dollars, but Li Yanzhi also knows the truth of sitting on the mountain and eating nothing. There are more than 1,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Lingju County. Whether it is irrigation projects, repairing galloping roads, or preparing weapons and armor, all of them have to rely on these resources, and it is not long to support the expenses of various places.

Li Yanzhi first allocated 50,000 yuan to plan out a vacant land with a radius of more than ten zhang on the west side of the military camp, and prepared to concentrate carpenters, blacksmiths, leather craftsmen and other handicraftsmen in the county to go here to carry out centralized work. After all, this place is close to the barracks, one is safe and secure, and the other is that the ordnance and other items produced can be directly transported into the camp and put into storage, which also saves the pain of carrying back and forth. The grain shop of the shopkeeper Fan has now been emptied, and as soon as the construction starts here, the military weapons produced will enter the camp, and the civilian equipment can be directly transported to the shop for sale. Although the purchasing power in Lingju County is limited, it is better to make use of it than to make it empty, so that there is some income.

Despite all the tight budgets, the construction of the workshop is still a bit stretched. However, Li Yanzhi didn't care about this, and only hoped that those workshops could start as soon as possible. After all, now that winter wheat has been sown, the demand for agricultural tools is still huge at the beginning of spring next year.

Previously, the county government had sent people to deliver the news, and Xin Tai Shouyan and the shopkeeper Fan had settled in the county, so Li Yanzhi sent Zhao Da to lead some soldiers and send the family members of the shopkeeper Fan to the county government. Xin Fujun had a lot of complaints about Li Yanzhi's actions this time. However, there is no blame. After all, the value of the shopkeeper Fan is there, and now that he has gone to the county government, Li Yanzhi also believes that the businesses run by the prince in the county government will definitely be able to go to a higher level with the help of the shopkeeper Fan.

After Liu Zhao took possession of Longxi, his ability to control the Longxi region has been extremely limited. Now Longxi, which is full of Qiang tribes, has really become a chaotic land. The Diqiang tribes now have hostages in Chang'an, and they dare not make a move against Liu Zhao's Diqiang tribes, and they begin to attack the small people in the Longxi region. During Chen An's previous reign, although there were all kinds of exploitation, Chen An's subordinates were still strictly disciplined. Since Chen An's defeat and Liu Zhao's entry into Longxi, these small people have suffered day by day.

I can't bear Liu Zhao's exploitation and the harassment of Qiang and Hu. Whenever they heard that Zahu had created a bloody case of slaughtering villages, these small people would take everything they could, either go to various Wubao and become the shadows of those wealthy clans in the township, or flee all the way north or west to Liangzhou.

In the current situation of the world, Liangzhou, which lives in a corner, has become the safest place, which has almost become the consensus of these small people. Staying in the local dock fort, it is not known when it will be breached and looted. If you can work tirelessly to reach Liangzhou, it is really a good way out.

Based on this understanding, hundreds or even thousands of people cross the river into Liangzhou almost every month. Although Zhang Lang, the Taishou of Jincheng, has now recalled the residents of Jincheng County who had moved away before, many people have experienced this war firsthand, and they have lost their hearts, and many people are no longer returning to Jincheng. Most of the Longxi households who fled to the state did not want to stay in Jincheng. In addition, the fertile land in Jincheng County is indeed limited, and Zhang Lang also feels helpless in his heart in the face of this situation.

The people went north, and the first thing they bore the brunt of was Lingju County. Li Yanzhi sent rangers to patrol, but whenever he encountered fleeing people, they all came to the county. Anyway, the amount of grain stored in Fan's granary is still huge, enough to feed these sporadic fleeing people, until they can generate value to feed themselves.

Li Yanzhi worked hard to put the affairs of the county on the right track as soon as possible in his duties as the county minister. Although he was the county government Sima, he knew that no military issue was an independent military issue. Whether you send troops to fight or defend the city, you need to have a strong economic strength as a backing. Grain and grass are more abundant than the enemy's, the weapons in the hands of the generals are sharper than the enemy's, the armor is stronger than the enemy's, and the fighting spirit is higher than the enemy's. Then the odds will be a few points higher.

By mid-October, a letter came from the county government, and the previous Zhang county order had officially submitted his resignation to the county government. said that he was ill and could no longer be an official. Xin Fujun personally transferred a county magistrate to prepare to take over Li Yanzhi's temporary county government affairs. In order to allow Li Yanzhi to concentrate on exercising his ministry as the county government's Sima.

After receiving the letter, Li Yanzhi immediately handed over the affairs of the county government to Liu Jiwu temporarily. Anyway, now that the affairs of the county government are on the right track, there is no need to bother. He took Tao Heng and his twenty or so horsemen, surrounded by a carriage, and went to the county government to meet the new county commander who was about to take office.

Xin Taishou saw Li Yanzhi again, but he was not surprised. The two of them entered the county mansion, and Xin Taishou first split his head and covered his face and said: "Okay, you Li Dingdong, the hot potato that you can't hold yourself, so you will throw it to the old man!" ”

Li Yanzhi bowed down and bowed: "The subordinates are only shallow in their wisdom, and when they encounter undecided, they can only ask the prince to make a clear decision." Categorically did not dare to embarrass the king. ”

Seeing this, Xin Taishou also smiled and said, "In the land of Lingju County, in this battle, the losses suffered are the greatest. It's a good thing that you're able to do your best to govern this county. It's just that the energy is always limited, I thought about it, you are still good at governing the army, and I will assign another county commander to Lingju to govern Lingju. You two will have to work together in the future......"

Li Yanzhi straightened up and said with a smile: "My subordinates are here to welcome the new county commander. ”

"Oh?" Xin Taishou also pretended to be surprised. Then he said: "The new county magistrate is my nephew's generation, Yan Yan, the word Fuliang." It was only in the year that the Chinese side went to the township product review. The examiners thought that my nephew was worthy of the county magistrate. It also made a certain big brother very happy for a while. ”

Li Yanzhi said with a smile: "Since he is the nephew of the prince, he treats each other well and works hard with him, in order to make the residence ......properly governed."

Xin Fei smiled: "My nephew is young, and he hasn't done anything yet. Now that you're in the county, you have to teach him a lot in Dingdong......"
