Liu Zhibang was immersed in copying something on the photon creature watch, when suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Commander, the military advisor asks to see you!" The voice of a guard was heard outside the door.

Liu Zhibang replied: "Let him in!" ”

The photon biological watch quietly retracted into Liu Zhibang's body, the door opened, and Xia Zhuangzhuang walked in.

"Big brother, the good news, the big families in the city have handed over their slaves to the city lord's mansion, and they don't want anything!" Xia Zhuangzhuang said happily.

Liu Zhibang asked with a little doubt: "Don't want a penny?" ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang replied: "Big brother, isn't this bad? ”

Liu Zhibang stood up and paced a few steps, and asked, "Don't these big families have any complaints?" ”

When Xia Zhuangzhuang heard Liu Zhibang's question, the excitement just now immediately calmed down, and he thought for a while: "Big brother is afraid of what conspiracy is there?" ”

Liu Zhibang thought for a while and said, "When will their ideological consciousness be so high?" No, there must be something going on inside...... Come! ”

A soldier walked in outside the door and saluted Liu Zhibang.

Liu Zhibang said to the soldier: "Go and call Director Guo of the police station!" ”

After Guo Fei came, Liu Zhibang asked him in detail about all the situations of the big families in the city, and even the life experience of each big family patriarch and the information of all the main family members did not let go, and finally explained some things to Guo Fei, and Guo Fei took the order.

Liu Zhibang thought for a while and said: "I didn't expect that there is a big man like Xu Shizhong in our small place of Xia Yuancheng, he used to be a squire in the household department, and he has a wide network in the officialdom of the Qingyun Empire, and he still has private contacts with the Jinguang Empire. The successful handover of slaves this time, he played a big role behind the scenes, the loss of slaves by these big families is equivalent to the loss of a large amount of wealth, Xu Shizhong has the most slaves and the greatest loss, does he have no plans? ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang continued: "Big brother, one more thing is that I just received a reply from Dao Yan's letter, saying that he was willing to exchange 200,000 stone grain for the prisoners, but he couldn't take out so much for a while, so he asked if we could pay in installments?" ”

"Hmph, the strategy of delaying the army......" Liu Zhibang replied disdainfully.

Xia Zhuangzhuang said again: "Dao Yan Zhixin said that he couldn't get so much for a while, I think it can be regarded as the truth, the Qingyun Empire has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, many places have lost their harvests, the imperial court taxes have been sharply reduced, and almost all officials are in arrears...... How to reply to this letter? ”

Liu Zhibang thought for a while and said, "You can promise him, but as much food he sends, he will let as many people go back in proportion...... Also, immediately organize the emancipated slaves to go to Baishiyuan to reclaim wasteland, and strive to more than double the existing cultivated land, and also, I want to go back to the Han nationality, focusing on restoring the ancestral cave base, as long as the productivity of the ancestral cave is improved, more machinery can be built, whether it is agriculture, people's livelihood, war, it is inseparable from efficient industrial ......"

On the second day, all the leaders gathered in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and dozens of people quietly waited for Liu Zhibang to issue a new order.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Zhibang cleared his throat and said: "These days, everyone has worked hard to rectify Xia Yuancheng, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of all the people of the Han nationality...... There are a few things to announce today......"

"Xia City Lord!"

Xia Zhuangzhuang took a step forward and replied: "The subordinates are here!" ”

Liu Zhibang said to Xia Zhuangzhuang: "From today on, you are completely in charge of Xia Yuan City, and you are responsible for stabilizing Xia Yuan City and supervising the reclamation of wasteland......

"Subordinates obey!"

Liu Zhibang handed a booklet to Xia Zhuangzhuang and said, "There are many new policies and decrees here, you can implement them according to the above, if you have any good ideas, you can send a letter to discuss with me......

"Patriarch Xie!" Xia Zhuangzhuang retreated with the booklet in his hand.

Liu Zhibang's eyes turned to Zhou Shan: "Where is Zhou Shan!" ”

"The last general!" Zhou Shan stepped forward.

Liu Zhibang said to Zhou Shan: "You lead the cavalry of your headquarters to raid the three counties of Ning'an, Kelin, and Chaodong from now on, and bring your property and population to Xia Yuan City and hand them over to the Xia City Lord to dispose of......

"The last general obeys!" Zhou Shan's order to retreat.

"Yamamo!"

"The subordinates are here!" The mountain took a step forward.

Liu Zhibang said: "You lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to the north to occupy the red rice shop in Wumang City, and rely on the local terrain to build a defensive ......."

"Subordinates obey!" Shan Meng led the order to retreat.

Liu Zhibang turned his gaze to Hong Feng again: "Hong Feng! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Liu Zhibang ordered: "You lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to be stationed at Baiyang Ferry, and you can respond to Zhou Shanshan and Shanmeng at any time. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Commander Hongtai!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Watching Hong Tai take a step, Liu Zhibang's tone softened slightly: "You bring more equipment and food to Hukou Pass, I have transferred 10,000 soldiers, Hukou Pass is empty, and now the border market of mutual trade has been opened, where the burden of security tasks is very heavy." The Golden Light Empire still depends on you to resist it, and you must not let a single soldier pass the level......"

Hong Tai replied excitedly: "My subordinates swear to defend Hukou Pass to the death, and never let the Jinguang Empire army step through Hukou Pass!" ”

Liu Zhibang nodded to Hong Tai with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Long Jie, and said, "Master Long Jie!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Liu Zhibang nodded appreciatively to Long Jie and said, "You take the headquarters to be stationed in Baishiyuan, and you are limited to lead the army and civilians to reclaim 100,000 mu of fertile land and plant crops within three months, can you have the confidence to complete the task?" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Long Jie's voice was loud and energetic.

"Well, where is Hu Gang?" Liu Zhibang turned his gaze to Hu Gang again.

"The subordinates are here!"

"You will implement the Shadow Project from now on, if you need anything, you can directly ask the Xia City Lord for it!"

Hu Gang responded loudly: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

After assigning the task, Liu Zhibang left Xia Yuancheng with the guard regiment and rushed all the way back to the Han base camp that he thought about day and night, and Liu Zhibang was also quite relieved to see a new atmosphere in the Han base camp.

"Abang, it's very hard to capture Xia Yuan City this time!" Aya gently kneaded Liu Zhibang's shoulder.

Liu Zhibang pulled Aya's jade hand that was massaging his shoulder, put it on his face, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and said, "You are also busy at home during this time, sit down and rest......"

Aya sat down with Liu Zhibang, gently leaned on Liu Zhibang's shoulder, and said softly: "I've been going for so long, do you miss someone?" ”

Liu Zhibang stretched out his hand and hugged Aya, and said, "Why don't you want to, think about it day and night, and think about it all the time......"

Aya said angrily: "Hmph, lie, I want me to make people wait so long......"
