Chapter 241: Rebuilding the Cliff Place

In view of the fact that the original leadership of the Xiongya Institute has all collapsed, the current Xiongya Institute is a typical state of no political axe. Zhang Zhun then decided to re-establish the management body here: the Xiongya City Management Division, referred to as the Xiongya City Management Division.

(The invincible, invincible city management in the world has finally appeared!) On the fourth day of the ninth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Zhun sorted out the Shengxia Sect under his command. The original Shengxia Sect is also the surname of the organization, and the surname of the administration, and the personnel intersect with each other, how awkward it is. After thinking about it, Zhang Zhun set up a special urban management department to be responsible for urban management. The Urban Management Division and other divisions are directly subordinate to Zhang Zhun and no longer go through the Shengxia Sect.

In this way, Shengxiazong returned to a purely organizational function and was not in charge of administrative affairs. The members of the Shengxia Sect are just an identity and have no special power. Its purpose is to attract the best talents to the Shengxia Sect. At the same time, the personnel within the Shengxia Sect communicate with each other, learn from each other, improve each other, and enhance cohesion.

After the establishment of the Urban Management Division, its main function was to carry out regular administrative affairs. After taking the Xiongya So, Zhang Zhun had a total of five urban management divisions, including Fushan City, Lingshan City, Xiahe City, Aoshan City, and Xiongya City. Each urban management department has a steward, and two deputy stewards are responsible for specific affairs. Below the steward is the corresponding deacon.

In view of the specific situation of the Xiongya Institute, Zhang Zhun selected three people to serve as the steward and deputy steward respectively after research. These three people are Lu Lancheng, Wang Yang, and Tian Boguang. They were the first to return to the Cliff Place. In a way, they are the people who are most familiar with the situation of Xiongya, and they are also the people who have the deepest feelings for Xiongya. Their decision-making will fully take into account the actual situation of the Cliff Institute.

Among them, Lu Lancheng, who was appreciated by Zhang Zhun, took the initiative to return to Xiongya from Aoshan City. He had already settled down in Aoshan City, and also served as the deacon of the Aoshan City Management Division, and later heard that the Xiongya Institute had been recovered, so he took the initiative to give up the fields on the side of Aoshan City and voluntarily returned to the Xiongya Institute. Compared with the deacon of the urban management department of Aoshan City, the steward of the urban management department of Xiongya Institute is actually a chore, and it is still a rather dangerous chore.

The reconstruction of the Xiongya Institute is urgent.

First of all, the walls should be built.

Without walls, it doesn't look like a city. Ancient cities, without walls, would be incredible. Even the stronger villages have their own walls. If there were no walls, the people who lived in them would not have a sense of security. It is also a great challenge for the management of urban public order. Although the Tartars of Tianheng Island have no chance to toss and threaten the Cliff Shrine again, there may be other variables.

For example, thieves.

Now the world is in turmoil, thieves are rampant, and maybe one day the cliff will be attacked by thieves. There are thieves who take up arms and are civilians when they lay down their arms. If they find a target to raid, they will gather together and raid it. After succeeding, they fled in all directions. In the face of such thieves, the government is also powerless. The leader can't catch it, and it won't help to catch a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals. When the opportunity is right, these people will reappear.

It seems that around Pingdu Prefecture in the belly of Laizhou Prefecture, there are a large number of thieves. According to intelligence, these thieves, the number of which is small, are only a few dozen. There are a lot of people, there are a few hundred. Some thieves even had horses and firearms. Their whereabouts are erratic, they come and go without a trace, which is a great headache. Originally, the people of Fushan City also had thousands of acres of fields near Pingdu Prefecture. However, due to the influence of thieves, these fields are basically not cultivated properly.

What's even worse is that some intelligence shows that many of these thieves near Pingdu Prefecture are still composed of some large families. These thieves, whose identities are public, are the guardians of large families. Behind the scenes, what he did was murder and robbery. Some large families have accumulated a lot of wealth through such bloody means. Because of their money, food, and backers, these thieves are quite well-equipped. The area around Guchengji and Tingkou Town are all hard-hit areas for thieves.

In addition, the Smell of Fragrance is also a destabilizing factor. The name of the Wenxiang Sect is really thunderous in Shandong. Due to the general hardship of people in Shandong, many people want to change their current situation. As a result, many people have voluntarily become believers in the Smell Fragrance Sect. As long as at the right time, there are still many people who come out to raise their arms and chant and respond to the call. Last year's Jinxiang Uprising, at least 150,000 people participated in it, which shows that the Wenxiang Sect is deeply rooted and intertwined.

The Smelling Fragrance Sect is good at destruction, but not good at building. Therefore, after they have captured the town, it is always customary for them to loot the town and then flee. Before, the Wenxiang Sect was in Laiyang, and actually intercepted the soldiers dispatched by Dengzhou Mansion. This shows that the number of people in Laiyang should still be very large. Even, it is very likely that there are important figures in the Wenxiang Sect who are responsible for organizing disciple activities in Laiyang. Laiyang is very close to the Xiongya, if the Wenxiang Sect attacks the Xiongya, there is no strong city wall, it is obviously impossible to stop it.

"My lord, if the Smell Fragrance Sect arrives overwhelmingly......

Lu Lancheng is still quite jealous of the Smelling Fragrance Sect.

Once the Smelling Fragrance Sect is launched, it will be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Tens of thousands of people came over in a huge way, and the scene was enough to make most people's scalps tingle. People who don't have the slightest guts can't bear it at all. In fact, discerning people know that in the mighty ranks of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled account for the vast majority. These people are ineffective, and there is no need to worry at all. However, after all, the population base of the other party is too large, even if it is calculated according to the proportion of 10%, there are thousands of young and strong. Once it is agitated, it is still very dangerous to swell upwards like a tide.

There is also a special place in Laiyang. It had just been completely ravaged by the Tartars, and most of the houses and buildings were burned down by the Tartars. People whose homes have been destroyed certainly have a lot of anger to vent. The fall of Laiyang City was entirely caused by the ineffectiveness of the local government. Therefore, the people's anger against the government can be said to have reached its peak. At this moment, Laiyang is a dry pile of firewood and grass, as long as the incense sect gently drops a little spark, it can ignite a fire that soars to the sky. Unfortunately, in their eyes, Xiongya is also a representative of the government, and it is very likely to be affected.

As this kind of front-line fortress-style building, the higher the wall, the better, and the stronger the better. It is better to be so strong that even a cannon cannot blow it up. Of course, in the face of thieves and the Smelling Fragrance Sect, Zhang Zhun didn't need to worry too much. Their artillery, certainly not a lot. At the same time, the taller and stronger the walls, the higher the cost. He didn't have such capital, so he built it into a fortress like Jinzhou City. It's good to keep it at one degree.

Secondly, it is to clean up all kinds of dilapidated houses in the city.

After the ravages of the Tartars, the buildings in Xiongya City were basically deserted. Rats are infested in it, but they can't see people. The houses, including the 1,000-household government hall, are all crumbling. If someone lived in it, they would have been crushed to death if the house collapsed in the middle of the night. Rather than letting it rot slowly, it is better to simply dismantle it and rebuild it.

Especially now that the population of Xiongya City is still small and the pressure is not great, it is a good time to rebuild. Tearing down the original house and rebuilding it can be better planned. The original house, even if it didn't collapse, looked messy. A lot of the buildings that should be there have been neglected. The space that should be fully utilized is also wasted. It takes more effort to rebuild than to tear down and rebuild.

Thirdly, it is necessary to improve various protective measures.

It is not enough to have a city wall alone, and it is necessary to continue to improve all kinds of defenses. For example, urn city, city pass, arrow tower, arrow tower, shooting hole, female wall, etc., so that when the enemy attacks, you can effectively counterattack. If there is a moat, moat, etc., it is even more perfect. Of course, taking into account the problems of the garrison, the defense did not need to be particularly powerful. So, moats and moats, there is no need. There are too many manpower, material and financial resources to be expended.

In general, all of the above tasks are water grinding work, which requires a lot of time and energy. It doesn't happen overnight. These tasks can only be handed over to the people of the Xiongya City Management Department to be responsible for the specific implementation.

While rebuilding Xiongya City, the implementation of four decrees is also a top priority. In particular, the implementation of the Junda Decree has a bearing on the question of whether local military households are willing to live here for a long time. Of course, the most important thing is the core issue related to whether they are willing to support Zhang Zhun or not.

The current population of Xiongya is quite sparse. After two or three days, the number of military households that came back one after another may be less than 200, and there are only about 1,000 people. For the time being, the work of dividing the land can only be carried out by relying on the people of these 200 households. In fact, there are a lot of fields in Xiongyasuo, more than 40,000 acres. Therefore, some people could not help but propose that all these fields be distributed to various military households.

Zhang Zhun did not agree.

If the current population is distributed, the land allocated to each person will be much higher than the standard. The basic principle of the "Juntian Order" is that each person has five acres of land, and the upper limit cannot exceed fifty acres. The original intention of this regulation was to prevent land annexation and the rebirth of large landlords. If the fields of Xiongya were distributed among 1,000 people, each person would basically reach 50 acres. At the same time, if they had finished dividing all the fields, the military households who would come back would have no land to distribute.
