Everyone in the hall looked at each other silently.

Yang Kai didn't want to get their answer at the first time, and asked himself: "When the army first entered, many big and rich families in the city still don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”

His tone was neither light nor heavy, his gaze only swept over everyone one by one, and then said: "You are different, you know that you are the same as General Ben, and you are the ones who know the times. I and you are both from Zhongzhou, in order to praise you, but also with the family to form a strong friendship, I will give you a special opportunity. ”

Discussing the occasion, he stood up from behind Yang Kai at the right time, and took out a pile of rice paper from between his sleeves, which was a redemption ticket written by him himself, and distributed it to everyone's hands according to the amount of goods they offered. Half of the remainder was silently retreated in his hand.

This exchange ticket clearly wrote a number of convertible silver taels, but it fell into the hands of everyone in the hall like a hot potato, all of them looked blankly, looked around, and wanted to whisper, seeing that Yang Kai did not speak, most of them did not dare to speak.

"Everyone, please get up, since you have chosen to surrender, you don't have to worry about being harassed at home anymore.

After the general entered the city, he issued an order to seal the sword, and those who violated the order in the city before were dealt with by military discipline and their heads fell to the ground.

In the future, if anyone dares to disobey the order, regardless of the level of the official, he will be severely punished, and even he will be beheaded. ”

Everyone slowly stood up and praised in unison: "The general is righteous, and the general is wise." Taking advantage of Yang Kai's softening face, he gently put the redemption ticket in his hand into his arms.

Suddenly, a personal soldier under the command of Chen Yuzhu broke in outside the door: "Report to the general, find out the old management team Tan Si, and go out from the West City Gate with his personal soldiers." ”

Because the east and north gates of the city are not opened, only the west and south gates are opened, and the hard break is too big. Tan Si has never been able to get Yang Kai's attitude, and he is not willing to bow his head to him first, outside the south gate is the Yang Kai army led by Cao Mang, going out to the west gate, and encountering the army of the soldier Liang Guang.

Thinking that they were all out of the same system at the beginning, he would never meet them, and he wanted to take his subordinates back to the old Huihui's battalion.

Yang Kai slapped the desk and stood up, and the expressions of the people in the hall who had just softened down tensed again, only to hear him sigh and say: "Inform Chief Manager Chen and General Han outside the city that since it is going to rain and my mother wants to marry, I can't stop him, so let him go." ”

The soldiers didn't understand what Yang Kai meant at first, they were stunned for a moment, and then they made a promise, turned around and retreated, and after leaving the official gate, they turned over their horses and ran straight out of the city.

The messenger does not need to know the general's mind, they only need to convey the order word for word.

Yang Kaimu grimaced, and then looked at Li Jiangdong who was standing behind him: "Ordered the army in the city, if there are those who don't want to stay, they can leave now, if they stay until they are in the enemy formation in the future, and then dare to retreat, they should know the end." ”

Li Jiangdong promised loudly, waved his waist knife, glared at everyone in the hall, and strode away with his head held high.

The people in the hall seemed to hear Yang Kai's insinuation on this matter, and he knelt on the ground again, shouting: "The general is wise, I am waiting for the gift of the general, and I will work hard for the general, and there will be no two hearts." ”

Yang Kai sat down again, and Wen Yan went to ask the person who knelt on his knees to get up, and asked, "I didn't ask for Your Excellency's name." ”

I saw him wearing a melon skin hat on his head, wearing a long-sleeved robe with a collar, and wearing leather clothes on his feet, looking like a businessman, and he had experienced Yang Kai's joy and impermanence, and he was like everyone else, his forehead was sweating nervously, and he didn't dare to wipe it: "The general is on top, and the small one doesn't dare to be respected, and the cheap name is a square stone statue." ”

"But the people of Zhongzhou?"

"Yes, from Lushi County, a small central state. The ancestor once made a small fortune because of selling mines, so he settled in Xinyang, and he was already the third generation of the villain's generation. ”

Yang Kai was quite surprised, he never thought that he would meet a fellow villager here, and asked, "Listen to you, but have you read a book?" ”

Fang Shixiang said: "I don't dare to say that I have ever read a book, but when I was young, I was forced by my father, I studied in a private school for a few years, and I learned some skills in bookkeeping and accounting. ”

What is barely enough to make ends meet, it's all bullshit. Yang Kai saw that the most redemption tickets were handed over to this person, which naturally meant that he had offered the most goods, but he was not in a hurry to debunk them.

Leaning his back on the seat, holding the armrests with both hands, he said meaningfully to the stone statue of the other party: "This general governs the city, only seeking to get the land to plant, the work to build the tools, and the business to get the opportunity to come in the past, and then make the soldiers have to be trained in the armor, and the officials are honest and capable, and the arch is vertical and the world is governed." ”

"At present, the fertile land has been confiscated to divide, and the silver money is also dedicated to the military, and the craftsmen are easy to obtain, and the equipment is difficult to make, just because of the lack of materials, it can be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"The affairs of civil affairs in the city, this general has been handed over to the general manager of commerce to manage, and there is still a lack of one person in the affairs of the chamber of commerce, so you will be in charge, okay?"

Fang Shi Statue just wanted to show his loyalty, so as not to suffer any more, after all, the money can be earned again when the money is gone, and if the life is gone, it will really be over.

After all, after hearing about Liukou Liuluo City, he did a lot of slaughter, and then abandoned the city and left, how could Yang Kai be completely different from the Liukou Commander who was passed on by word of mouth, listening to his tone, did he still want to be the emperor of the soil here?

He was not interested in Yang Kai's reward in his heart, the reward given by a rogue leader was not enough to make people proud, but it was easy to cause trouble.

Once they abandoned the city and the government returned to control of the city, he became a heretic and had to go with the thief.

I was unwilling, but I couldn't refuse, and at that moment, one of the older people in the lower hall was a little bold, and humbly said: "If you want to talk about the businessmen in the city, Jia Dang is still the most shrewd of Master Ma, and for such a heavy task, I still have to ask Master Ma to take on the ......."

"Shopkeeper Fang, you ......"

"Why are you so bothered? What you are worried about is nothing more than that in the future, the general will abandon the city and leave, and you will become an official of our department, and you will have no foothold in front of the government, so you can only be a thief. ”

He slapped the desk again, and his voice turned sharp: "Are you just afraid that there is nothing to stand in front of the government, and you are not afraid that the general will kill the people who surrender to Cheng?" ”

When they heard his anger, they were once again frightened, fell to their knees, and shouted, "Don't dare! ”

"Since you don't dare, then it's decided, and the square stone statue will be temporarily managed by the head of the business. In addition, if you wait for three days, no one will recommend a talented junior to report to the house, and those who violate the order will be punished with their fingers cut off. ”

Yang Kai's expression eased, and he looked back behind him to discuss, "I also have to bother the chief businessman, and after appointing the people they recommended, organize them into a book, and report them." ”

"Yes."

Yang Kai came here, he still wanted to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and like the sergeants of the management army, hold a banquet and talk with them, but the reaction of the residents in the city was not the same as he imagined.

If you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable, if you want to completely occupy a city and get the hearts of the people here, how can it be so easy, it will take time to precipitate.

At present, the residents of the city still feel that fear overwhelms trust and deal with the immediate urgency, Yang Kai can only temporarily coerce them with coercion and fright, and use them for emergency purposes first, among which the planning of their trade routes still needs to be carefully planned with Discussion, Yin Zuochan and others.

Asking for the Son of Man in the hall was not done by a benevolent and virtuous person, leaving a red face in front of everyone, and also leaving a chance to discuss and sing white faces.

If you know that you want to do extraordinary things, you should use extraordinary means.

Walking out of the official mansion, Yang Kai walked through the streets and alleys and came to the city to supervise the repairs.

Looking ahead, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the mountains and rivers in the distance are gently dyed by the autumn wind.

But the streets were already full of busy figures, the first city he occupied for the first time, facing the vast underground rivers and mountains full of holes, Yang Kai's spirit couldn't help but be lifted.

The small setbacks and worries about the future were suddenly dissipated, and he was no longer as worried about the future as he had been at the beginning, and turned to a poem that crossed his mind.

Go north to Taihang Mountain, it is difficult He Weiwei!

The sheep intestines are bent, and the wheels are destroyed.
