After hearing the words of the two, Lu Chen nodded. rane?n? ???．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? En'org then found Luo Gong and asked him to lead more than 2,000 people to the two families and emptied almost all their belongings. Of course, in this process, Long Yan and the others were also opposed by the clansmen of these two families. However, Luo Gong always arrested all these people who dared to openly resist in their cells on the grounds of disturbing tolerance.

Soon, the property of the two families was moved to the city lord's mansion. Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen ordered that the people of these two families, whether they were descendants or collaterals, should be mixed together, and then make unified arrangements to jointly manage the shops under the name of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Chen is also helpless, after all, in addition to the troops, he has no manpower to take care of the store, and after occupying the shops of those big families, Lu Chen has left half of the various shops such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., and these shops naturally need to be operated.

For the descendants of these two families, Lu Chen showed no mercy to his subordinates, and treated them together with those side members. Although in the process, there were many descendants who protested, but Lu Chen ignored it at all. As for the fact that these people may strike or something, it's very simple, Lu Chen has assigned a shop to every few of them, and if they don't run well, they won't have anything to eat. And if it is well managed, not only will there be good food and drink, but except for those that will be handed over to the city lord's mansion, the rest will belong to them.

Under the encouragement of this system, many people who had been in this line of work before began to carefully elite their own stores, and even those reluctant gentlemen could only helplessly start to learn how to take care of the store, after all, if you don't run the store well, you won't have anything to eat.

It's just that these two families really don't have any more from now on. From the moment Lu Chen disorganized their lineage and collateral lineage, their two families had already existed in name only. After a few decades, these people will gradually forget the big family before them, and naturally think that they are from the City Lord's Mansion.

After seeing Lu Chen's power, the other families in Luzhou City no longer dared to ask Lu Chen to protest anything. Otherwise, these two families are the best witness.

After dealing with these family forces, Lu Chen appointed Long Yan as the chief captain of the garrison of the city, and appointed the leader of the spear and crossbow crossbow squad who had followed Lu Chen from the holy city as the chief captain of the gun and crossbow soldiers. As for the captain of the bombers, Lu Chen selected a soldier with better strength from the previous city guards.

There are also more than 2,000 people who protect the gun, crossbow, and bomb troops, and Lu Chen also found a more outstanding general from the previous city guards to serve as the captain of more than 2,000 people.

As for the remaining two or three thousand soldiers who guarded against harassment by foreign forces, they were handed over by Lu Chen to Luo Palace for management.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Lian Feng took the initiative to find Lu Chen and asked for more than 50 people, saying that he wanted to cultivate a group of outstanding scouts. Hearing this, Lu Chen agreed without hesitation.

After distributing the troops here, Lu Chen finished handling some government affairs in the city. He realized that he should find someone to help him take care of this Luzhou City, after all, Lu Chen could not stay in Luzhou City all the time. Even in the future, he may be fighting outside all the year round, and he will not have time to manage Luzhou City at all.

However, now there is no suitable person around Lu Chen to manage this Luzhou City. It's not that there is no one, after all, like the heads of those big families, with so many years of management experience, it is more than enough to manage a city. However, if the city is handed over to the heads of these big families, Lu Chen is not at ease. Once the city is handed over, I am afraid that when Lu Chen comes back, the city will no longer be his.

After a day of contemplation, Lu Chen finally decided to call the old patriarch who had been managing the Holy City. After all, he has experience in managing the Holy City, and there shouldn't be much of a problem in managing Luzhou City. Besides, now Lu Chen can't find anyone else to manage Luzhou City at all. Although the old clan elder came all the way here, even Lu Chen, who was quite thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed. However, there is no way to do it now.

After deciding to let the old patriarch manage Luzhou City, Lu Chen immediately sent more than 200 people, and the carriage used was also very exquisite, all of which were covered with thick beast furs. Lu Chen didn't want the old patriarch to have any accidents because of the bumps along the way.

The people sent to pick up the old patriarch were all old men from the former city guards, because the holy city could not be made public now. After all, this is a city built without the approval of the imperial court, and if the imperial court knows about it, it will definitely send someone to take it over. At that time, if Lu Chen gave the management of the city to the people of the court, he would definitely be unwilling, and if he didn't give it, it would be tantamount to openly resisting the order.

In the next few days, Lu Chen disposed of all the trivial matters that appeared in Luzhou City because of the change of city lord. He wanted to deal with some major matters as much as possible, and when the old patriarch came, he only needed to deal with some daily chores.

Lu Chen waited for more than ten days, and in these ten days, the development of Luzhou City gradually returned to the past, and people also got rid of the impact of the previous war.

Although some people are a little dissatisfied with Lu Chen's destruction of more than ten big families at one time. However, in the end, under the joint statement of the four major families in the city, people realized that these more than ten families wanted to unite with the governor and openly rebel against the imperial court. Fortunately, the City Lord of Lu Chen found out in time, and this disaster was avoided.

Because this statement was jointly issued by the four heads of the family, the people in Luzhou City were convinced of it. This incident also made Lu Chen realize that these people still believe in those big families in their bones. At this point, no matter how strong Lu Chen's strength is, I'm afraid it will be useless.

If you want to change this situation, it is impossible to change it overnight, and you have to think long-term. Lu Chen had already opened a academy in Luzhou City two days ago. Although the four major families had some complaints about opening the academy, they finally did it according to Lu Chen's wishes. After all, now their four major families no longer have the capital to compete with Lu Chen.

So, although they knew that it would not be so easy for them to control the minds of the people in the city when they began to get into contact with books. However, under Lu Chen's strict supervision, they still reluctantly complied, who made them not Lu Chen's opponent now.
