Chapter 266: Kill
Wen Xian's face was expressionless, and she directly gave the order to kill the prefect and the generals of the defending army. This made everyone a little stunned, except for Wu Zhong.
As an experienced general, Wu Zhong naturally knew that at this time, he should make an example of the army and the people.
So, under the witness of the people and soldiers, he directly raised his sword and cut off the heads of the prefect and the general of the defending army.
At the same time, the surrounding people threw down the things in their hands and knelt down towards Wen Xian, shouting: "Long live Her Majesty the Empress, long live, long live!" Long live Her Majesty the Empress, long live, long live! ”
A sound of long live spread from the city gate, shaking the entire northern Fujian Mansion.
Even some of the people, who had been closed before, opened their doors and ran to the gates of the city.
Then, there was a small and large sob.
This is the cry of the people of northern Fujian, who are venting their long-standing fears and grievances.
Before that, the people of the entire northern Fujian Province were living in dire straits.
They don't know when they're going to die, whether they're starving or tortured, they're still living in fear.
But how unhappy they are now that the people who terrified and tormented them have fallen to the ground, and the great stone that weighed on their hearts has finally dispersed.
Looking at the appearance of the people, Wen Xian felt very uncomfortable, it was all the fault of the people in power!
She took a deep breath, raised her hand and said loudly, "It's all flat!" ”
Immediately, she continued: "Please rest assured, the future of Northern Fujian Mansion will get better and better, and there will never be anything like the previous one."
I promised that in the next three years, all Fujian provinces would reduce or exempt the taxes paid by farmers. As for the merchant tax, it will be reduced in the first year and halved in the remaining two years.
In addition, when the new prefect takes office, he will gather manpower to develop the economy. At that time, there will be a lot of short-term and long-term workers, and everyone can sign up to participate in the selection. ”
In the past year, the people of northern Fujian have been tortured too badly by taxes. She can only reduce part of the taxes first, otherwise, the people's life will still be difficult.
As for the new prefect, she planned to meet the adult recommended by Shen Cheng. If nothing else, he should be elected as the prefect.
After that, Zhu Qing led the construction of various factories in northern Fujian, and everything will be carried out in an orderly manner.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Wen Xian's words once again made waves in the hearts of the people of Northern Fujian.
If there was some hesitation in the previous prostration, then this time it was all sincere.
Wen Xian pursed her lips and smiled, and then went back to the military camp outside the city and began to plan the next things.
This time, it was Wu Sheng who led the Wu army to clean up the mess in the city, while Wu Zhong followed back to the barracks first and listened to Wen Xian's next instructions.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Zhong took the lead in asking, "Your Majesty, what should you do with those captives?" ”
Those captives are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and he is unwilling to let him join the martial army, but he can't kill them all.
First, I said earlier that I would not kill if I disarmed, and I also need to be credible when dealing with prisoners. Second, there are many recruits who have just been conscripted, and they are all ordinary people from northern Fujian.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for direct killing.
As for how to deal with it, Wu Zhong didn't dare to make a decision on his own, and he had to ask Wen Xian's opinion.
Wen Xian took a sip of tea and said after a moment's silence: "Ask them their own opinions, and let everyone who is willing to go home go home." Those who did not want to go home were incorporated into the ranks of the new defenders. ”
She raised her eyes and continued, "Either way, there is a one-year inspection period. If within this year, someone has other thoughts, and directly kills on the spot, without mercy.
After a year, the test is considered to be passed. Those who should be good citizens continue to be good citizens, and those who should be soldiers continue to be soldiers. ”
It's not that she's suspicious and sick, but that some people open a dye room with a little color. It is not excluded that there are those who are unwilling to get in the way.
This kind of eating inside and outside things, she can only be ruthless.
Moreover, Wen Xian believes that within a year, judging from the recovery of northern Fujian Province, no one will rebel.
If they rebel in a situation where they have money to earn and can eat and clothe themselves, I believe that without her hands, the people around them will be the first to refuse.
Wu Zhong approvingly: "This method is wonderful, and the last general will arrange it immediately." ”
After thinking about it thoroughly, he thought a little higher about Wen Xian in his heart.
After he finished speaking, he wanted to withdraw to arrange things, but was stopped by Wen Xian.
Wen Xian asked, "What advice does General Wu have for the new prefect and the general of the garrison army of Northern Fujian Mansion?" ”
Minbei Mansion was brought down by Wu Zhong, so she naturally had to ask his opinion.
If Wu Zhong has a recommendation, she will also be considered.
However, Wu Zhong shook his head and said, "Everything is decided by Your Majesty, and there will be no objections in the end." If there is something that the last general can do, even if His Majesty commands it, the last general will definitely go all out. ”
In the affairs of the local garrison army and the government, it is better for him not to participate as a general, and he is also troublesome.
Wen Xian smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, General Nawu will go and get busy first." If you need it, I'll look for you. ”
Wu Zhong made it clear that she would not participate, so she couldn't say anything more.
The most important thing for her now is to determine the candidate for the new prefect.
At the beginning, Shen Cheng recommended to her the Shixian Order of Kanto County, but he didn't meet and discuss in detail before she left Guanping Mansion.
Therefore, she left a message for Shen Cheng and asked Shi Xian Ling to come directly to Minbei Mansion to find her.
If you calculate the time, it will be there in these two days. She just waited for two days, and it was not unnecessary.
However, as soon as she took over Minbei Mansion, these two days were chaotic times, and Wen Xian had to find someone to help her stabilize the overall situation first.
Of course, if there is no one, then she will play herself.
It's just that she hasn't started looking for someone yet, and the next morning, Jiang Chen came to her and said that she could share some affairs.
Jiang Chen felt that everyone was busy, and he couldn't use force, so he just contributed in other aspects.
No matter how much you can do, do it first and then talk about it.
Wen Xian was overjoyed, and even handed over some of the aftermath to him and White Rose to deal with.
Jiang Chen is the young master of the Jiang family, and managing the city is much the same as the management family, plus a white rose who is in charge of money, he can completely stabilize the overall situation.
As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with this choice. Jiang Chen and White Rose are dry every day, and their busy feet don't touch the ground.
Not to mention, with Jiang Chen's help, Wen Xian's pressure was greatly relieved.
It wasn't until two days later that Shi Xian Ling hurried to Minbei Mansion with his little servant.
When the Shixian order came, Wen Xian was reading official documents and approving them in the yamen.
Of course, for the time being, this recital is only about Pingfu and Minbeifu.
It's expected that there will be about ten chapters to end.,Thank you for your support all the way.,Bow (ε)
