After setting up the pole, Chen Tao immediately began to survey the entire state-related stronghold, only to find that taking advantage of the previous chaotic stage, thousands of residents here had run away, and many of the people who stayed were in a wait-and-see state.

Many of the routs fled directly, and there was no way to know where they went. However, according to the documents of the county government, there are more than 10 small strongholds under the jurisdiction of Sheguo County, and they have to send someone to inform them, otherwise they will not know the news of the change of flag related to the country.

There was no territory before, of course, these things were not Chen Tao's turn, but now that he has a territory, he knows that government affairs are so troublesome.

There are still about 70,000 people in the state-related strongholds, and how to settle these 70,000 people is a problem. Farming needs to be arranged, industry needs to be rectified, and commerce needs to be built, but the most important thing is the stability of the people's hearts!

found the former scribe, this sixty-year-old man was a former county magistrate of Sheguo County, but Yu Poison captured here, considering that his family was in the county, and the court was gone, he had to bend his knees to be a thief.

The name is Yin Ping, which seems to be a bit obscure, but in the end, he is experienced and quite experienced in handling government affairs, so it is no wonder that Yu Poison will use this person so much.

Yin Ping is an authentic Huang Lao, who pays attention to quiet and inaction, and has not been fooling around with poison in the past two years. However, at his age, many people are already a handful of loess in this year, although he is still healthy, he can't just mess around.

Chen Tao occupied this place, he naturally led the people to surrender, if it weren't for his help, it would not be so simple to take the inner city. For this old county leader, Chen Tao visited him as a junior, and asked him to continue as a county leader and help him govern Sheguo County.

Yin Ping also knew that Chen Tao was a demon cultivator, but seeing that he was polite and polite, and Corporal Lixian, he obviously agreed. In fact, his family is in Sheguo County, and there is no way to leave this foundation easily.

With his help, Chen Tao further learned about the situation in Sheguo County and the darkness during the reign of Yu Poison.

The kid will indeed enjoy, and actually announced that he will rule the people, and the female ** will be handed over to him, and then the groom will arrive the next day. There are more than 30 beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and there are a few sons and daughters. However, even the daughter was not close to this father, and after the fall of Sheguo County, after Chen Tao gave their mother and daughter a batch of food, they also knelt down to thank him.

Although the entire state-related stronghold, although it is not considered slavery, the degree of freedom of the people is very low, coupled with the connivance of Yu Poison to harm the common people, if the people have nowhere to go, they are afraid that they will flee long ago.

Yu Poison also knew this, and strictly ordered that no one was allowed to escape, and in order to make an example of chickens and monkeys, he also killed several families who escaped. Since then, the people here have dared to be angry but dare not speak, but they can only silently endure the rule of poison, and as for their dignity, they have long been abandoned.

When Chen Tao learned of the situation, he immediately sent someone to take those soldiers who had committed crimes, and directly attacked the beast in front of all the people.

Knowing that the thief who had harmed him was killed, the people immediately cheered, and their recognition of Chen Tao increased a little. Not to mention anything else, Chen Tao has relied on this hand to initially win the recognition of the people in the country-related strongholds.

For the captured defeated army, Chen Tao also gave them two choices: either continue to serve as soldiers, or go back to farming and working.

In fact, many of the guards were forcibly conscripted, and when they learned of the situation, they all expressed their desire to go home. Chen Tao gave them a batch of grain and sent them back.

The next day, they joined the colonization team and went to the wasteland outside Sheguo County to open up grain. According to Chen Tao's meaning, before winter comes, even if you can't grow food, you have to open up the land.

In just a few days, he consumed more than 3,000 spars. Fortunately, there are more than 20,000 spars in the county office, so this expenditure is really nothing. During this period, the newly recruited guards also killed some demon soldiers one after another while patrolling, although they did not much, but they also earned some spars.

Because Chen Tao had a golden finger, the exchange price of one spar and one pound of grain was stipulated, and since then the spar has also become the currency of the stronghold. This news was passed on to several other small strongholds along with the heralds.

During this period, Zhang Yan came in person to congratulate Chen Tao on being the principal of the state-related stronghold, but also vaguely warned him not to forget his promise. Chen Tao simply concluded an alliance and officially joined the Montenegrin Army.

Zhang Yan was very satisfied with this result, and went back with the covenant, during which he vaguely said whether the crossbow was sold, or whether there was leather armor or weapons to buy or something, Chen Tao of course could not give up this market, saying that there would be no problem if there was a spare.

Zhang Yan didn't bring a spar when she came, so she had to go back and get it again. And it is precisely because of his recognition that Chen Tao's rule here has become justified. Many people who are worried about the black market thieves counterattacking here are relieved, but thinking that this is still the sphere of influence of the black mountain thieves, it is inevitable that they will be a little lost, if so, who doesn't want to return to the arms of the imperial court?

However, is there still a court in these years?!

From the laying of the country to the settlement of everything, the time has actually arrived in December 187, and it will be 188 years soon. Before the winter, Chen Tao tried to get the people to build a kang and take care of the ventilation system. At the same time, a lot of troops were sent to chop firewood for backup, and in any case, this winter could not be reduced due to the severe cold.

There is no fire kang in this era, and the first batch of people to try it out after it was built all said yes, and at the same time thanked Chen Tao for his benevolence. This thing is really good, it is warm on the fire, eating and sleeping can be carried out on it, and the trouble of not having cotton clothes to keep out the cold is finally solved.

Chen Tao thought that there seemed to be cotton seeds in the space, and he planned to plant a batch next year, but at this stage, there was no way. Not to mention anything else, those basic civil affairs work also gave him a headache, even if he added Old Man Yin, he couldn't keep it busy.

Long Er and several of them are military generals, and they are not familiar with civil affairs work, so they can't help much. Besides, they also have to be on duty in shifts, where is the time to manage law and order?

"If the principal is free, you might as well look at the prison cell." Old man Yin knew what Chen Tao had a headache and reminded him.

"What are the characters in the prison?" Chen Tao asked curiously.

"Earlier, there were Xin brothers named Xin Ping and Xin Bi, who happened to travel to Sheguo County, and it is said that they are still qi practitioners. Yu Poison saw that he had the ability to govern the place, and he planned to recruit but failed, so he was angry and directly abolished their dantian and put them in prison. Now that the principal occupies this county of Sheguo, it can be regarded as avenging them, as long as Corporal Lixian knows the reason for his feelings, he should be able to come out of office. Yin Ping patiently explained.

Hearing that it was actually the Xin brothers under Yuan Shao's command later, how could Chen Tao not be interested. So he immediately inquired about the location of the prison and went there in person, only to find that the two brothers were tossed to the point that they were not human, but fortunately, the poison was still going to take in the two of them and did not kill them.

"Are you finally going to kill us? Do it! Seeing Chen Tao come in, one of them said weakly.

"Don't talk nonsense anymore, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect!" The other said even more angrily.

"A certain is Chen Tao, the new director of the country, the two gentlemen are suffering, please stay in the cold house, and a certain immediately send someone to heal the two of them!" Chen Tao excitedly bowed to the two of them, and then ordered the guards.
