The contents of the notice quickly spread among the people, and some of the brave people tried to go out into the streets to do business, and they were relieved to find that the soldiers standing guard would not hinder and reprimand them.

There was a child playing in the street and fell, and the soldier who stood guard helped the child up. This move undoubtedly left a deep impression on the people. It makes people's impression of the Apocalypse Army better.

Seeing that there were people on the street, there was nothing to do, and gradually there were more people on the street, and within two days, Meizhou returned to normal.

Most of the Apocalypse Army's soldiers and horses were also stationed outside the city. Only a small number of men remained in the city to maintain order.

Jing Yi found the account book of Xue Wanhe and the additional taxes, and then set up a few tables on the street outside the gate of the government and began to return the taxes that had been collected by the people.

The gong at the door of the government attracted a lot of people, Jing Yi stood on the steps and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Xue Wanhe and other officials privately levy taxes for their own pleasures, loot the people's fat and ointment, and do not care about the suffering of the people, do you think such a corrupt official deserves to die?"

Our Apocalypse Army is the army of the people, the army that rescues the people from fire and water, and protects the people, so we took down these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and returned Meizhou Mansion to a blue sky. In the future, the villagers will no longer have to worry about being unfairly exploited.

In addition, the taxes levied by Xue Wanhe and other officials before will be returned to everyone today, and those who paid more taxes a few days ago can come to the door of the government to receive the taxes back. Please also spread the word so that everyone else can also come and receive the tax money. ”

After Jingyi's publicity, the people talked a lot, and they couldn't believe that the tax money that was collected could be returned.

Soon, the entrance of the government really began to return the additional tax silver, and the people who paid the extra tax silver took the household registration certificate to receive the returned tax.

When the people saw that someone had really received the tax money they had paid before, they were simply boiling, and they all ran home to get the household registration certificate and spread the good news along the way.

Jingyi not only set up a tax refund in Fucheng, but also set up a tax refund in other towns below.

Jing Yi's move immediately made the Apocalypse Army win the support of the people of Meizhou Mansion.

Soon Jingyi introduced another policy, part of the land in Meizhou Prefecture that was taken into public ownership should be leased to the outside world, and the peasants who rented the land for cultivation only needed to pay 30% of the average local harvest of grain after harvesting, and no longer needed to pay other payments.

As soon as the notice of renting land was posted to the public, the people of Meizhou Mansion were even more boiling. Renting land for farming is only 30 percent of the rent, which is almost like pie in the sky, because in the past, they had to pay 60 percent of the rent for renting land from landlords or officials, but this time it is less than half, so that they can eat their stomachs.

Many people did not believe that there would be such a good thing, and many people went to the county government and government office to inquire.

There are special personnel responsible for answering questions at the entrance of the county government and government office.

In many villages, Li Zheng and the village prestige came to inquire on behalf of the villagers, and when they learned that what the notice said was true, everyone rushed to rent the fields.

Jingyi also stipulates that a family rents more land than the prescribed amount of land per population. This is also to ensure that the majority of people can survive, and to be as fair as possible.

The fields are generally leased to the villagers of nearby villages, and after registration, the location and area of the fields are divided by a special person, and then some procedures are handled.

Jingyi did not lease all the land, but also left some as experimental fields to cultivate and plant new varieties.

Jingyi set the rent at 30%, and those landlords who privately owned a lot of land had to reduce the rent if they wanted to continue to give their fields to tenant farmers to plant, otherwise no one would rent their fields at all. Unless the landlord hires long-term workers to grow his own.

Jingyi did not confiscate the land of those businessmen and landlords, as long as it was the assets reasonably and legally accumulated by the people, Jingyi would not touch. This is also to maintain the stability of society.

Now that this is a feudal society after all, Jing Yi doesn't want to cause some people to revolt because of too big a step, so the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, they have just occupied Meizhou Mansion and want to develop slowly, and now stability is the first place.

With the policy she introduced, those landlords who want to collect rents that are 30% higher may not be accepted.

At the same time that Jingyi introduced a series of policies to benefit the people in Meizhou Prefecture, the Tianqi Army also began to recruit troops in Meizhou Prefecture and surrounding towns.

Jingyi attaches great importance to external propaganda, and the purpose of the Apocalypse Army's external propaganda is to defend the homeland and the happy life of the people of Meizhou Prefecture.

and also announced the welfare benefits of the Apocalypse Army. Ordinary soldiers are issued with a new military uniform every six months, and cotton clothes in winter. A tael of silver was paid every quarter. If you are promoted in rank or have been in the army for a certain number of years, your salary will also increase.

There is also the army's food standard staple food tube is full, with vegetables and meat, which ordinary people's homes cannot compare.

The conscription of the Wing Country Army is mandatory, and there is no military salary at all, so compared to this, the treatment of the Apocalypse Army is too good. Many families with many sons have one or two school-age teenagers who have signed up for the military.

Because Meizhou is close to the border, the area under its jurisdiction is very large, there are 13 counties in the territory, and the population is not comparable to the two counties of Yuanling County and Changning County. The number of recruits is increasing rapidly every day.

When Jingyi captured the capital city of Meizhou, the other eleven counties were also occupied by the Apocalypse Army one after another, and the local government affairs were first implemented in military management, and then the officials of each county were thoroughly investigated.

The good officials who were willing to stay and continue to serve as the county magistrates were to govern the party, while the corrupt officials were put in prison and all their property was confiscated. Then Jingyi sent someone to take over the official affairs of the county government.

In addition to Yuanling County and Changning County, only three of the other eleven counties in Meizhou Prefecture have good county officials, and the others are corrupt officials, and many county orders are relatives of Meizhou officials such as Xue Wanhe, and these people are embarrassed, so that most of the fields and shops under the jurisdiction of Meizhou Prefecture are in the hands of these officials or relatives of officials.

After Jing Yi got the results of the following investigation, he instructed corrupt officials and relatives to confiscate all their family property. All those who have human lives on them are caught in prison and waiting to be released.

It took Jingyi two months to sort out the affairs in Meizhou Mansion.

There was no shortage of talents in the old department of the Jing family who came to Jingyi before, and after Jingyi took the school examination, some people were sent to various counties as county officials, and some people were supplemented to various departments in the prefecture and city, so that the entire Meizhou Mansion could operate normally.

During this period, Old Man Liu and several brothers of the Liu family followed Jingyi to help. They all have many years of experience in officialdom, and they were quickly arranged to important positions by Jingyi. And everyone once again recognized Jingyi's talent.

The Liu family took their grandson and the Liu family's family to Fucheng. Of course, the best mansion in Fucheng is Taishou Mansion, but Jing Yi did not live in it, but chose an official's not very big mansion to live in, and the Liu family became neighbors with Jing Yi.
