After Xu Qingfeng took charge of Jinzhou Mansion, after a few months, he sent a letter to the imperial court, saying that now the threat from the northern barbarians has disappeared, and the bandits in Jinzhou Mansion have also been eliminated, and it has become a paradise.

At present, the Jinzhou Prefecture is still vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of land is not cultivated, so the restrictions can be lifted and some landless people in the interior can come and farm.

It is also mentioned that the sinners who were exiled here at the beginning have also made great efforts in the middle, and what sins have been redeemed after such a long time, the court can pardon their crimes, let them become free people, and let their children and grandchildren also study and participate in scientific examinations to become officials.

In this way, it seems that the emperor's grace is immense.

Only by pardoning those sinners and making them normal people can the landless peasants in the interior dispel their worries and be willing to move to the border to farm.

Under normal circumstances, who wants to live with some criminals?

His request was accepted by the imperial court.

The main reason is that more people used to farm the land, which could produce more food and bring more financial revenue to the imperial court.

At present, the Jinzhou government still follows the previous tax system, mainly to supply the grain of the border army, and no income is handed over to the state treasury.

However, when this place is in operation and has a larger population, it is not impossible to unify the system there with the system in the interior.

In this way, it will be possible to give the treasury some more revenue.

The implementation of this policy can further increase the population of the Golden State Capital.

After the policy came down, the first to get the news were the people of Gumu County.

It's not that they get extra preferential treatment, but that this county is currently the only county in the Golden State that has appointed administrators at both levels of the village, and the roads are well connected, and the decree can spread quickly.

In addition, those counties have already learned from the model of Gumu County to establish an administrative system at the village level, but the time is still short, and even the candidates have not been decided, and it is difficult to pass on the government decrees.

However, within a month, the news reached the ears of all ordinary people.

This is really good news for them.

And along with this good news, there is another good news - during this time, as long as you go to the temple to offer incense and pray to the city god to remove the thorns on their faces, you can get rid of the thorns on your faces.

At the beginning, in order to better manage these criminals and prevent them from escaping back to the mainland, the government tattooed the forehead of every exiled criminal, so that once they appeared in the mainland, they could be arrested as criminals.

Now, even if some people work hard here to farm and live a better life, they miss their families, they don't dare to go home to visit their relatives.

Because of the tattoo on his face, there was no way to go back.

Even if he goes back, he will only bring shame on his family.

The court only forgave their sins, and they still had no way to go back.

The most important thing is that Cheng Huang can remove the thorn inscription for them, and for them, it is more heartwarming than the policy of the imperial court.

This news is somewhat absurd, and many people do not believe that the thorns engraved on the face for more than ten years can be removed.

But there are also a small number of people who believe it.

Those few people are Liu Qing's followers, and they have seen the manifestation of the city god, or they have been cured by Liu Qing.

They were the first to go to the temple to offer incense and pray.

After the incense is applied, it comes out again, and the thorn on the face disappears.

The immediate effect made those who did not believe in it have to believe it, and then follow to pray for incense.

It only took more than half a month for all the stingers on the faces of the criminals in Jinzhou Mansion to disappear.

To remove the thorns on their faces, the incense consumed is very small, and it is not worth mentioning to Liu Qing at all.

But for those people, it's something that changes their fate.

This kindness is remembered by the city god.

This wave of thorn removal operations allowed Liu Qing to increase the number of believers by more than one million in the Jinzhou Prefecture area.

The fact that the Golden State Mansion has a total population of several million, and the fact that it can increase so many believers at once proves that it is better to harvest the incense of the poor.

Give them a little good, and they become believers.

Although some of them did not become Liu Qing's believers, they also experienced Liu Qing's magical powers, and they spent more time offering him incense.

The Taoist temples and city god temples in the counties of Jinzhou Prefecture were built, and Master Yunyi also obtained the recognition of the Taoist Palace through such achievements, and after some operation, he was transferred back to the capital.

And he was replaced as the host of the Hongfa Hall of Jinzhou Mansion, who was the Taoist priest Mingxiu who made outstanding achievements in Gumu County.

At this time, Mingxiu was only in his early twenties, and he could be said to be the youngest mage in the history of the Great Qian Empire.

The one who recommended him was Master Yun Yi, and the reason for the recommendation was his contribution to opening up the territory for the Dao Palace in Gumu County, and there was a more important reason, he had a good personal relationship with the prefect, and a good personal relationship was helpful to the development of the Dao Palace in the Jinzhou Mansion.

The latter reason is the key to deciding to make Mingxiu a mage of Jinzhou Mansion.

Otherwise, even if he wants to be promoted, he will have to wait until after the age of thirty.

Daoist Mingxiu became Master Mingxiu, which also allowed Liu Qing to take a bigger step in Jinzhou Mansion.

For example, after Mingxiu ascended to the throne, he ordered all Taoist priests in Jinzhou Mansion to go to the Chenghuang Temple every morning, noon and evening to offer incense, and to recite the "Earth Induction Sutra" at least 100 times.

It's not that Liu Qing is greedy for that bit of Taoist incense, but wants to implant his own believers in the Dao Palace system, if the people who hold important positions in the Dao Palace are their own people, then they can rest assured and boldly develop their beliefs.

On the other hand, the Deshan Bookstore opened by the Liu family is also getting bigger and bigger, and with the support of the Liu family's strong financial resources, it has opened branches in all provinces of Daqian.

They have a huge cost advantage, and every place they go to, they can take down the bookstore in that place and become a monopoly market.

The best-selling books are scientific research books, including sage scriptures and eight-share collections.

On the title page of each book, there will be a "Sutra of Earth Induction", and it is marked that this scripture is recited 100 times a day, and after a long time, the meaning of the scripture will be revealed, and there will be the effect of deafness and clarity, which is the gospel of the world's readers.

Some people saw it and laughed it.

But some people saw it and thought about giving it a try.

Especially those who feel that they have no hope of being admitted to Xiucai or have no hope of being admitted to Jinshi, they want to give it a try when they see a little hope, regardless of whether they can do it or not.

There will be such a page in all their published books, which also makes the more places Deshan Bookstore goes, the more widely this brainwashing scripture spreads.

It's just a big job, and they can't fit the dream of Deshan Bookstore anymore, and now they already have plans to go to neighboring countries to open up the market.
