Mongolian herdsmen are uncertain in migration, and their residences are not fixed, so in the whole Mobei, there are very few towns, even the city of Helin was built in the early Ming Dynasty when Li Jinzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo, pursued the remnant Yuan forces.

But after hundreds of years of erosion by wind and frost, coupled with the fact that the Tartars who have been fighting for many years have no time to take care of this city, so that now this and Lin City are already dilapidated, and when Zhang Huangyan came to He Lin City, only the city gate was still there.

"This is the place where I and the Lin Mansion rule?" Zhang Huangyan looked at the half-collapsed dirt city gate, couldn't help but ask himself, and then sighed helplessly, and went to Helin City first.

However, at this time, there are people coming and going in the city of Helin, many Mongolian herdsmen who have heard the news and come to register their household registration and do some transactions at the same time have gathered in the city of Helin, at the beginning of the war, some far-sighted inland merchants first brought tea bricks, salt bricks, cloth, porcelain, glass and other commodities out of the customs to prepare to trade with these Mongolian herdsmen, and they also learned from the notice that the Mongolian herdsmen in this area will gather in Helin City, so these merchants also gathered in Helin City, ready to trade with Mongolian herdsmen here.

At this time, most of the trade between the merchants in the customs and the ordinary herdsmen outside the customs was still in the stage of bartering, even if there was a stable currency such as silver dollars in the customs area, but because the commercial activities outside the customs were not developed, it was difficult for these ordinary herdsmen to quickly exchange the currency for their own goods through the store after obtaining the currency, so it was difficult for the currency to circulate quickly outside the customs for a while.

At this time, the only relatively intact dwellings in Helin City had been temporarily requisitioned as the prefect's yamen, county government offices, and other government offices, so most of the Mongolian herdsmen and merchants who had gathered in Helin City had to temporarily set up tents to live in.

After Zhang Huangyan entered Helin City, he mistakenly thought that he had entered a large military camp, but when he saw those Mongolian herdsmen wearing felt hats and flat faces bargaining with merchants wearing watermelon hats for a few cattle and sheep and a few pieces of Songjiang cotton cloth, he, the new prefect, felt a hint of market atmosphere.

Zhang Huangyan began to think about whether he should re-establish the dusty and dirty environment of Helin City after counting all the household registration people and acres of land in the entire Helin Mansion, imitate the Beijing Division, plan the main roads between the north and the south and the east and west, divide the residents and commercial districts, and provide a special market trading area.

But who knows, at this moment, Zhang Huangyan suddenly found that there was a commotion in front of him, and several sturdy Mongolian herdsmen directly killed the merchant, and robbed the merchant of the carriage pulling salt bricks, and rode his horse outside the city.

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that these people were trading just now, and in the blink of an eye, someone directly robbed them.

However, at this time, the gendarmes of the gendarmerie had already rushed over and chased after them directly, and after several rows of shooting, the Mongolian herdsmen who tried to directly loot the property and violate the rules of commerce were shot to the ground.

Among them, a gendarme directly cut off the heads of those Mongolian herdsmen and carried them to the city: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty strictly ordered that the newly attached people of the Ming Dynasty must abide by the law, and must not start disputes without authorization, destroy the trade, if there are grievances and disputes, you can go to the county government to appeal, and those who deal with it privately will be killed!" ”

Seeing this, most of the Mongolian herdsmen gathered in the city of Horin lowered their heads, became more honest, and strangely bargained with these merchants, and did not dare to take them by force.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but sigh secretly, only when the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has been completely able to crush the forces outside the Guan, and when there is a strong enough violent organization to maintain and improve the entire group of people who are not of our race, can we truly succeed in achieving the goal of truly assimilating these people.

"Don't be surprised, these Tartars outside the gate, all those with identity have been exterminated by our Ming Dynasty, but these Tartars have been accustomed to fighting and robbing since childhood, barbaric and uneducated, so there will be newly attached Tartars who don't know the rules to come to Hu, however, these days, my gendarmerie will kill all those who don't obey the rules, so it will greatly deter these Tartars and make them have some memories!"

Han Jun, an officer of the gendarmerie, said from the side.

However, Zhang Huangyan said directly at this time: "General Han, can this official give you an order directly?" ”

"If it's a matter of Helin Mansion, Lord Yin of the Mansion will say that it's okay", after Han Jun arched his hand, Zhang Huangyan said: "Immediately confiscate all the sabers and heavy arrows of all the herdsmen in Helin City!" Violators will be punished for the crime of conspiracy to rebel, and the officials and soldiers of the court who hunt wild wolves and fight against thieves will be exterminated! ”

This Han Jun couldn't help but be surprised, this Zhang Fuyin looked as weak as an old scholar on the surface, but he showed such a decisive decision as soon as he came, and he didn't seem to be a simple person.

Immediately, Zhang Huangyan didn't care about resting, and immediately began to summon the officials of his own government and the state and county officials of the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction to come to discuss the matter.

There are only three prefectures in the entire Mobei Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and among them, Helin is its largest prefecture, with two prefectures and five counties under its jurisdiction, and two of these prefectures have two counties each, so there are nine counties in the entire Helin Prefecture, but in fact, each county here is far larger than one prefecture in Guannei.

Up to now, there are still five counties in the entire Helin Mansion that have not yet been appointed by officials, so in addition to the governors of two prefectures, they have to temporarily serve as the magistrates of the two counties under their jurisdiction, and Zhang Huangyan himself has to take charge of one county.

With the rapid expansion of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large shortage of officials in many newly annexed places, and the officials were simply too busy to appoint a neat bureaucratic system to these newly established prefectures and county governments in a short period of time.

In other words, Zhang Huangyan is actually in charge of the power of the entire Helin Mansion alone, not only serving as the prefect, but also serving as the general judge and other officials, and directly serving as a county, and his prefect's power is beyond the reach of the prefect in the Guannai, but it requires a lot of energy.

Zhang Huangyan personally acted as the secretary office and personally registered and made a register for these herdsmen, and even personally confirmed the number of people in the area under his jurisdiction and personally counted the acres of land.

In this way, Zhang Huangyan was almost too busy as soon as he took office, and the same was true for several other officials, they did not go to their own prefectures and counties to take up their posts, so they lived in Helin City with Zhang Huangyan and did things together, because instead of being busy separately, it was better to do the important things of the entire province together, so that the efficiency would be faster, not to mention, although the area of Helin Mansion was very wide, the population was very small, and it was convenient to concentrate.

As a result, Zhang Huangyan, who had been struggling in the dilapidated house for several months, gradually put the land reform and return of the Lin Mansion on the right track.
