Seeing that Hua An let Thunderstorm and Yang An lead the army to pursue the fleeing enemy, and let the soldiers and horses under his command do coolies, Chen Ting was naturally a little unhappy, but the military order had to follow, Chen Ting had to take the order, and immediately led 10,000 soldiers under his command to start sorting out the city defense, and maintain law and order, and allocated 3,000 men and horses to assist the baggage battalion to build a large military camp in the city, in order to prepare for the future stationing of the Thunderstorm Legion.

After Yang An wrote the letter, he handed it over to his confidants and ordered him to send it to Yinping County overnight and hand it over to the Yinping Taishou of Qiu Chi to let him belong to the Great Jin court.

Subsequently, Yang An gathered 8,000 soldiers and horses, and together with the 10,000 cavalry of the thunderstorm, left Xiafen City and rushed towards Wudu City, which was less than 100 miles away.

Xiafen City is the national capital of Qiu Chi, and naturally it is also the administrative center of Qiu Chi, although due to continuous wars, the city is dilapidated, but there are still many important people in Qiu Chi left in the city, these elites of Qiu Chi, when Yang Jun attacked Qiu Chi Gong's mansion, suffered great losses, and many people died, but most of them survived.

The elites who witnessed Yang Jun's atrocities were full of anger at what Yang Jun had done, so they were more inclined to support Yang Guo emotionally, and when they saw Yang An, the son of Yang Guo, personally led the army back to Xiafen City, they all expressed their support, but after all, they were Qiu Chi people, and they were somewhat resistant to Hua'an's Jin army.

And the attitude of the resistance of the elites from all walks of life in the city naturally can't escape Hua'an's eyes. Before entering Xiafen City, Hua An had already expected this kind of thing, and for this, he had made full mental preparations.

At this moment, Hua'an personally sat in Xiabian City, in addition to building city defenses and maintaining law and order, there was also an important task, that is, to pass Guò's own practical actions, and gain the recognition and support of elites from all walks of life in Qiuchi.

Of course. Hua An knew it very well in his heart. If you want to gain the support of the elites of the Qiu Pool, it will not work without great sincerity, at least let these people understand that the Great Jin Harvest of the Vengeance Pool will not harm their vested interests. Even. It will also bring them greater benefits. In this way, driven by huge interests, they will no longer resist returning to the Great Jin. And will fully support the return to Dajin.

These elites from all walks of life in Qiuchi include large landowners who hold 10,000 acres of fertile land, businessmen who control many shops in Xiazhì, and skilled talents who rely on their skills to open medical centers or private schools.

First of all, for those large landowners who own a lot of land, Huaan will promise them that they will not confiscate an inch of their land, so that their interests will not be harmed in any way, and even encourage them to reclaim more wasteland in order to expand the grain production of Qinzhou.

Secondly, for the big merchants who opened many shops, Huaan would support them to continue to open their shops, and collect taxes and fees according to the tax rate originally set by Qiu Chi, and for some shops that were damaged in the war, Huaan would send some troops to help them rebuild their shops, and they would not charge any commission, and even Huaan planned to expand and extend the streets in Shimoban Castle to make the business of Shibanjo more prosperous.

Of course, the reason why Hua'an wants to expand the streets of Xiabancheng is not only because Xiabancheng is the administrative center of Qiuchi, and the nearby population is large, which is suitable for expanding the commercial scale, but also has a more important reason, which is to echo the commercial center of Nanzhengcheng, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and develop together.

A large number of products produced by the workshop of Nanzheng City, with the sales center of Xia Cheng City, can better increase sales, and these merchants of Xia Cheng can also make a lot of money in the process of trafficking goods, so as to experience the great benefits, in addition, all kinds of special products of Wudu County can also be transported to Nan Zheng City, so as to improve the quality of life of the people of Nan Zheng City.

Hua An believed that as long as he said these ideas, he would definitely get the full support of the merchant groups in Xiacheng City, so as to prepare for his more stable control of Wudu County.

For those skilled talents who rely on their skills to eat, Hua'an will also give full support and give enough respect, and set them up to go to Nanzheng City, visit various buildings that have just been established, and communicate with the talents of the Huangfu family, so as to better improve their skills.

After making these plans, Hua'an asked the pro-military camp to invite all the elites in the city to his own Chinese army tent.

At the invitation of the pro-military camp, the elites of all walks of life in the city did not dare to disobey, and all of them honestly went to the Chinese army tent in Hua'an, and respectfully visited Hua'an.

However, Hua An could see that the expressions of these people were obviously very nervous, obviously, they were not clear about Hua An's intention to invite them, and after the experience of Yang Guo's invitation last time, they were a little scared in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone was very nervous, Hua'an first politely asked them all to sit down, and asked the soldiers to serve them hot tea, so that they could drink a cup of hot tea and warm their bodies.

After a few sips of hot tea, everyone's expressions were obviously soothed a lot, and seeing that Hua'an's attitude was always kind, everyone was even more relieved.

Hua An looked at everyone and first said: "Everyone, this general is new to Xiacheng City, he is not familiar with the place, and he is not very clear about the etiquette here. ”

"Where, where, the general is serious, serious." Everyone hurriedly replied politely.

Seeing that everyone was not too hostile, Hua An smiled and said softly: "Ben will know, you must be very worried in your hearts, worried that Ben will confiscate the property of your ancestors, take your land, and close your shop, isn't it!" Then he looked at the people in the tent.

Hearing Hua An's straightforward question, everyone in the big tent was taken aback, and they looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

The surprised expressions of everyone were completely expected by Hua An, and seeing that everyone did not answer, Hua An continued: "Although you can rest assured, Ben will recover Wudu and Yinping two counties, but he will not confiscate your fields and shops, in addition, Ben will fully support you, and I hope you can support Ben General." ”

"Is this true?" A middle-aged man who looked like a big landlord asked eagerly.

Hua An nodded and said: "A gentleman's words are difficult to follow, and what Ben will say will definitely not be broken, so don't worry." ”

After receiving Hua'an's affirmation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly congratulated that their ancestral property could be preserved, and then praised Hua'an like gratitude and virtue, and said that they would definitely support Hua'an's rule over Qiu Chi.

Subsequently, Hua'an informed everyone of his plan to extend and expand the streets of Xiabiancheng, and asked for everyone's opinions.

Naturally, everyone had no objection to Hua'an's expansion of the street, and they had already planned to do so, but to extend and expand the street, they needed a large amount of silver taels, and the source of these silver taels was a problem.

Merchants who make a living by opening shops are naturally willing to contribute a little money, but everyone has different opinions on how much is appropriate, and those who are big landowners and people who make a living by their crafts are not willing to pay a single tael of silver.

For the people's troubles about the funds, Hua'an is very generous, he said that all the money is up to his own way, expand and extend the street, no need for everyone to raise funds, of course, if anyone is willing to pay, Hua'an of course welcome.

As soon as Hua'an entered Xiabiancheng, he gave Qiuchi a great commitment to the elites of all walks of life, and he also had to fund the expansion and extension of the streets of Xiabiancheng, which made everyone in the big tent suddenly full of good feelings towards Hua'an, and once again expressed their full support for Hua'an.

Subsequently, when Hua'an talked about using Chengdu, Nanzheng, and Xiabiancheng to form a mutually complementary economic chain, the merchants in the big tent expressed great interest and said that they would definitely strengthen their ties with Nanzheng and Chengdu as Hua'an said.

In Hua'an's Chinese army tent, Hua'an and the elites of Xiaban City, conducted a friendly conversation for more than an hour, under Hua'an's sincere promise, all the elites in Xiafen City were moved by Hua'an's friendship, and sincerely expressed their full support for Hua'an, support Qiu Chi's return to the Jin Dynasty.

Looking at the elites from all walks of life in the big tent, all of them expressed their support for themselves, Hua'an was also greatly relieved, although he made some money and made a little sacrifice, but as long as he could get the full support of the Qiu Chi Shi people, then it was worth it, only with the support of the Qiu Chi Shi people, Hua An could better and faster stabilize the situation in Qiu Chi, and prepare for the next Northern Expedition.

After the conversation, Hua An had prepared the dinner prepared by the pro-military camp in advance, and at Hua An's suggestion, the soldiers of the pro-military camp put all kinds of dishes and wine into the Chinese army's tent and placed them in front of the elites from all walks of life.

For Hua'an's hospitality, everyone naturally did not refuse, so they stayed in Hua'an's Chinese army tent, and Hua'an feasted and drank, in this cheerful atmosphere, Hua'an further narrowed the distance between the elites of Qiuchi, and achieved more affirmative recognition from Qiuchi's scholars.

It was not until the end of the day that everyone took their leave in turn and returned to their respective mansions, and Hua'an, after personally sending the tent door, returned to the back tent and rested.

Lying on the bed in the back tent, Hua Anxin was full of excitement, since entering the territory of Qiu Chi, everything has been the same as he expected in advance, and the progress has been very smooth, and now, Tong Guò has a promise, and he has received the full support of the Qiu Chi people, and if he continues like this, it will not be long before he can completely control the entire territory of Qiu Chi, so as to ensure the safety of Liangzhou and Yizhou.

As long as Qiu Chi is completely stabilized, there will be a few more reliable roads in the Northern Expedition in the future, which is extremely important to Hua'an. (To be continued......)
