Immediately afterwards, the people and horses of the major cottages rushed to Feng County under the leadership of their village owners and surrendered outside Feng County. Of course, all the materials, stocks, gold and silver looted by the cottage were confiscated in the county treasury.

At the same time, Fang Ling ordered another notice to be posted, informing the merchants of the surrounding counties that those who had been robbed by bandits and had a record in each county could go to Feng County with the certificate issued by the county, and the Feng County Government would return the goods in a certain proportion according to the materials.

Because a lot of materials have been consumed, and the merchants who have been robbed over the years don't know how many, so each merchant can get not much silver taels or materials, but this news is enough to make the merchants in the surrounding counties get psychological comfort, and this is also the effect that Fang Ling wants to achieve.

The total number of bandits in the sixteen cottages has reached nearly 2,000 people, the number is not small, Fangling specially set aside a piece of land in the north of the county to build new houses, shops, etc., at the same time, according to the bandits' employment application, for the bandits who are willing to engage in fishing, horse training, planting, etc., can live in Xihe County and Maling County, and accept the management of the local county government.

Although public opinion has subsided, the influx of such a large number of bandits still brings some uneasiness to the people, and at this time, the second group of people from the Xi Kingdom has also arrived, with a number of three hundred.

Therefore, in order to appease the people, and in order to allow the people of Xi Kingdom to better integrate into the world three hundred years later, Fang Ling sent the people of the Six Hundred Xi Kingdom to the three counties and gave them the task of managing public security in the county.

In this way, the total number of county soldiers in each county reached 500, which was enough to deal with any situation in the city, and at the same time, in order to further stabilize the bandits, Fang Ling ordered the appointment of Qiu Yi as the chief catcher of the three counties, and Hou Ding as the deputy chief catcher, and issued a strict order to severely punish anyone who violated the law and discipline.

Although Qiu Yi's cottage is not the largest, Qiu Yi's prestige is no less than that of Shen Huantian, seeing that Fang Ling did what he said, and let Qiu Yi sit on such a high official position, the thieves are also gearing up one by one, vowing to make a career.

After half a month, the streets where the bandits lived gradually became lively, the people were harmonious, and there were no major conflicts. Moreover, after knowing that many of the bandits were forced to fall into the grass because of life, everyone also felt a little empathy, after all, the three counties were also under the oppression of the wang clan in the past, and some of the thieves were actually the people of the three counties, so after slowly getting along, life became harmonious.

At the same time, Fang Ling summoned Shen Huantian and other cottage owners, and with the help of everyone, perfected the topographic map of Misty Mountain, and at the same time determined six avenues that could connect the counties in the outside world.

Next, Fang Ling announced a new recruitment plan, regardless of county nationality, to recruit a total of 600 county soldiers, as promised before, capable bandits can also participate in the recruitment, in fact, many of these 600 county soldiers are bandits, and Han Fei has successfully become a soldier.

The 600 county soldiers recruited were sent to the six mountain roads of the Misty Mountain to guard to protect the past merchants, and the bandits who had lived on the mountain for more than ten years and were extremely familiar with the terrain of the Misty Mountain were just where they could come in.
