Early the next morning, the people of Lingshan Acropolis carefully pushed open the gate, and after walking on the street, they saw that there was nothing abnormal in the city, so they relaxed and started the busy day.

Last night's turmoil did not affect the normal life of the people in the city, but for the officials of Lingshanwei, it was tantamount to the collapse of the sky.

Command the yamen, the main hall.

Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Shen Tuo, and Qian Liang, as well as Xun Jingyun, the town magistrate, Wang Weizhen, the commander of Tongzhi, and Jia Hongyu of Qianhu were all summoned, and Liu Yan was giving orders to everyone.

"Now most of the officials above and below Lingshan Wei have been taken down, and the daily government affairs still have to be operated, so this official has decided: Zhang Lei, the tun official in charge of the Qianqian households in Xiahezhai, is the tun official of the Qianhu Acropolis."

"Zhao Min, the official of the Qianqian households in the Xiahe Village, has the experience of thousands of households in the Lingshan Acropolis, and controls all the officials in the Lingshan Acropolis."

"Qianhu Tian Huixu of the Qianhu Office in front of the Xiahe Village is the commander of the Lingshan Acropolis, and is responsible for the training and recruitment of all the soldiers and horses of the Lingshan Guard."

"Song Gongming, a thousand households in front of the Xiahe Village, is a commercial officer of the Lingshan Acropolis."

"Yue Ming, a thousand households in front of the Xiahe Village, is the money and grain official of the Lingshan Acropolis."

"Appoint Jia Hongyu, a thousand households, as the defense officer of the Lingshan Acropolis, and lead the troops to garrison the Lingshan Acropolis, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction will be reorganized and filled by the original dun army of the Acropolis."

"Order Chen Xun, the defense officer of the Qianqian Household Office of Xiahe Village, to promote his subordinates and fill the vacancies of the Qianhukou Office of Xiahe Village."

After a series of personnel appointments, Liu Yan completely controlled the Lingshan Acropolis, and Wang Weizhen on the side said with a smile: "My lord is in charge of the Lingshan Acropolis, and in the future, the military households and people of Lingshan Wei will have a much better life." ”

Everyone congratulated Liu Yan one after another, and at the same time, they were full of expectations for the scene of everyone gathering in the Lingshan Acropolis in the future.

"Why didn't Ji Xianhai, the defender of the Zhongqianhu Office, and Tang Jingming, the guard of the Jiaozhou Guard, come to the Qianhu Guard?"

After the appointment, Liu Yan inquired that before dealing with Shen Jiuwei, Hu Youxiang and others, he sent someone to contact the two and ordered them to rush to the Lingshan Acropolis as soon as possible to command the yamen to standby.

Moreover, the Zhongqianhu Office is located in the Lingshan Acropolis, and Ji Xianhai is already in the Lingshan Acropolis, but in the turmoil last night, Ji Xianhai and his soldiers and horses seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they never showed up, and they didn't even send anyone to get in touch with Liu Yan, which was already a very serious dereliction of duty.

Xun Jingyun, the pacification official, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Qiyu, as far as his subordinates know, Ji Xianhai and Tang Jingming have dealings with Shen Jiuwei, although the two of them did not wantonly embezzle the cultivated land of the military camp, but they ate empty salaries and accepted bribes from Shen Jiuwei and others, which is also a great crime!" ”

"This time, the two of them didn't show up for a long time, that is, they were thieves, and their subordinates sent someone to inform the two to come and stand by, and the subordinates sent reported that Tang Jingming and Ji Xianhai were busy contacting the Shangguan of the Jimo Camp and seeking refuge, and they had no intention of coming to stand by at all!"

Liu Yan sneered when he heard this, and then said to Jia Hongyu: "Jia Qianhu, it seems that you are going to make a move again, this official appoints you as the defense officer of Zhongqianhu, and immediately summons the original soldiers and horses of the Lingshan Acropolis, arrests Ji Xianhai, and disarms all his subordinate soldiers, waiting for disposal!" ”

Jia Hongyu suddenly smiled when he heard this, and he finally had real power. Wang Weizhen on the side was also happy in his heart, Jia Hongyu is his confidant, and now he is reused by Liu Yan, which is also a big help to himself.

Although Jia Hongyu can't lead a battalion of new troops like Wang Bo, Shen Tuo and others, he can also serve as a defensive officer, as long as he does a good job, his future career will still be very smooth.

"The subordinates have orders!"

After speaking, Jia Hongyu went to transfer troops in high spirits.

Then Liu Yan looked at Wang Yue, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Wang Qian, this official appointed you as the defense officer of Jiaozhou Guarding Thousand Households, and he will lead his troops to take up his post early tomorrow morning, and the relevant appointment documents will be sent to you." ”

Wang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, Liu Yan actually reused himself regardless of his previous suspicions, and handed over a thousand households to his own management, this kindness of knowing suddenly made Wang Yue cry bitterly, and directly knelt on the ground with a bang, and cried and said: "The grace of adults, the subordinates are unforgettable!" From now on, as long as the adult says a word, even if he lets his subordinates die, his subordinates will never say anything! ”

Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Shen Tuo and others rolled their eyes one after another, looking at Wang Yue's slightly exaggerated appearance, and they all laughed. Even Xun Jingyun, the pacification official, grinned slightly, and then returned to his former coldness.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Get up, they are all brothers in life and death, don't say these things in the future." ”

"After you arrived at the Jiaozhou Guard's Thousand Households, you took down Tang Jingming, the original guard, as soon as possible, and sent someone to send him over. As for the soldiers and horses over there, you reorganize them according to the requirements of the infantry drill code. ”

"The subordinates have orders!"

"Now the replenishment and expansion of the battalions is about to begin, and when the time comes, priority will be given to replenishing the remaining battalions, and the strength of your rear battalion will be replenished by yourself at the Jiaozhou Shouyu Thousand Households Office, and the specific roster of soldiers will be reported to this officer for review."

Wang Yue clenched his fists and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Two days later, Tang Jingming and Ji Xianhai were arrested, the two knelt on the main hall of the command envoy yamen with their heads down, Miao Shao, the head of Qian, stood next to him and watched the two, Liu Yan looked at the two and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Ji Xianhai bowed his head and was silent, but Tang Jingming said unconvinced: "It's just a matter of becoming a king and losing a villain, what else is there to say!" We are just unlucky, as soon as the adults came, they eradicated the gentry everywhere, and we naturally became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the adults! ”

Liu Yan shook his head and said, "You're wrong! As a general of the Ming Dynasty, you don't want to train troops to defend the land and protect the territory and the people, but you only want to collect money for yourself, and a nest with those inferior gentry, snakes and rats, but now you are full of grievances, do you still want this official to add you to the knighthood! ”

Tang Jingming was speechless for a moment, and he stopped talking.

Liu Yan looked at the appearance of the two of them, and lost his thoughts, and said: "Tang Jingming, Ji Xianhai, this official remembers that you have fought against Dongnu with this official, and you can be regarded as a comrade in the battle of Yaoshan Mountain Road, so this official will not kill you." Today, the Governor removes both of you from all your posts, and changes your military household registration to a civilian household, and confiscates your family property as well. ”

After speaking, Liu Yan stood up, looked at Tang Jingming and Ji Xianhai with panicked faces, and said: "You can leave today, the official will personally give you fifty taels of coils for each of you, go back to pick up your respective families, and leave Lingshanwei, don't come back." ”

Ji Xianhai suddenly cried, and wanted to beg Liu Yan again, but was dragged up by Tang Jingming: "Since the adults have already said nothing, then what else do we have to say, let's go!" ”

After speaking, the two left the command envoy's yamen, Liu Yan's face was also full of coldness, he looked back at Miao Shao next to him, and said coldly: "Colleagues, go and send them." ”

"Order!"

On the same day, Ji Xianhai picked up more than a dozen family members in the Lingshan Acropolis, and then went out of the city with Tang Jingming, and after picking up Tang Jingming's family members at the Jiaozhou Shouyu Thousand Households, he prepared to go to Jimo Yingcheng.

But then Liu Yan received news that Ji Xianhai and Tang Jingming and a group of more than 40 people encountered thieves on the way to Jimo Yingcheng, and all of them were intercepted and killed on the official road. Liu Yan immediately gave out the money to bury Tang Jingming and Ji Xianhai without mentioning it.

A few days later, Zhang Lei, the official in charge of the tun, Tian Huixu, the commander Tian Huixu, Zhao Min, the money and grain official, Yue Ming, and the commercial officer Song Gongming, rushed to Lingshanwei successively.

Liu Yan immediately handed over the money, grain and materials seized this time to Yue Ming, and ordered him to register and make a book, and all of them were stored in the treasury for later use.

At the same time, Liu Yan ordered Zhang Lei, the official in charge of the tun, to immediately lead people to check the cultivated land of the military tun that had been confiscated from various places, and then distribute it to the military households in Lingshanwei that had no land or little land according to the number of 30 mu per household.

Zhang Lei, in five days, inspected all the seized more than 300,000 mu of cultivated land, and then distributed it to all military households in Lingshanwei.

"My lord, there are still more than 60,000 acres of cultivated land left in our hands."

"These cultivated land are left for the time being, and now the commander Tian Huixu has begun to recruit new soldiers for the new army according to the order of this officer, and all the soldiers of the new army will be divided into 100 acres of cultivated land at that time. Based on the current calculation of 30 acres of land per household, the remaining 70 acres of difference will be allocated from the more than 60,000 acres in our hands. ”

Zhang Lei asked, "What if it's not enough?" ”

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I will give Tian Qianhu an order that all the generals of the new army will not be allocated arable land, and the cultivated land that has been allocated must also be recovered and distributed to the soldiers." The official will pay a monthly subsidy to the officers at the price of three taels of silver per mu per month. ”

"In addition, when the number of troops in our new army is more and the amount of arable land is insufficient, the soldiers can also do it according to this method, and if they want to cultivate land, the officer will give each person a hundred acres of arable land, and if they want silver, they will give silver at a discount every month!"

Zhang Lei said: "In this way, the adults have combined the guard system with the recruitment system of the battalion, which is more flexible, and our room for maneuver is greater." ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "That's the truth. ”

Then Liu Yan said: "In addition, before the spring ploughing, the water conservancy facilities in various parts of Lingshanwei should be renovated, and if there is a lack of cattle, seeds, and farm tools among the military households, and the people lack winter clothes and food, Zhang Qianhu must inquire about it and make up for it as soon as possible." ”

"The specific amount of money and food needed, Zhang Qianhu pulled out a report, and after the official reviewed it, he handed it over to Yue Ming, the money and grain official, to handle it as soon as possible."

"Subordinates obey."

sent away Zhang Lei, the official of Guantun, and Liu Yan found Yue Ming, the official of money and grain.

As soon as Yue Ming came up, he said with a smile: "My lord, now that we have made a fortune, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury and more than 200,000 stones of grain, and we can't use them up for a few years!" ”

Liu Yan smiled and said to Yue Ming: "How many years? Rest assured, in a year or two at most, the money will run out! ”

Yue Ming was dumbfounded.

Later, Liu Yan talked about the renovation of the entire Lingshanwei water conservancy facilities and the subsidy for military households and people in various places.

"If you think about it, how much grain will it cost to do all this before the spring planting? In addition, the commander Tian Huixu is building a recruit camp outside the Lingshan Acropolis, and the expansion of our new army and the training of new recruits will also be rolled out, how much food do you need? It is also necessary to provide equipment, food, clothing, and shelter for nearly 10,000 soldiers and personnel accompanying the army, and pay monthly salaries. ”

Liu Yan looked at Yue Ming, who was no longer smiling, and said, "So, it looks like a lot of money and grain in the treasury now, but I can't help but spend it." ”

Yue Ming said: "My lord, the expenses of the new army cannot be reduced, but on the side of the army, can it be realized gradually? Isn't it too fast to put all the military cantonments of Lingshanwei in place in one step? ”

Liu Yan said: "You have to remember that no matter what time it is, the people come first, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" After all, it comes from the people, and if it is spent on the people, it can be regarded as the right place to spend it. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
