The war did not happen, Chen Ze was a great achievement, even Cao Sheng was full of praise for this matter, and even the original little bastard became a brat, and his attitude changed greatly.

It's just that for Chen Ze, this is not something to be happy about, but he feels that the burden on his body is heavier.

Xu Qianfang is willing to negotiate peace, completely believing that he can really bring justice and hope to the people of Wutong County, so Chen Ze must not fool the past in this matter, and must give everyone an explanation.

Therefore, Chen Ze did not return with the large army, but asked Cao Sheng to go back with his soldiers and horses to resume his life, and then left a team of 500 people for Chen Ze to send to deal with the follow-up problems.

Cao Sheng can't wait for Chen Ze to deal with these things, after all, they are wars, what they hate the most is to deal with this kind of government affairs, and no one will praise them if they handle it well, if they don't handle it well, the responsibility will be attributed to them, and now Chen Ze is willing to take over this mess, Cao Sheng is very happy, and when Chen Ze comes back, he must have a big banquet to wash the dust for Chen Ze.

Chen Ze hurriedly responded, and then took five hundred soldiers and horses directly into Wutong County.

The situation in Wutong County can be said to be very bad now, the whole county is quite dilapidated, no one does business, and the infrastructure is even more unbearable, and all the roads are full of potholes, and no one cares about it at all.

Xu Zhirong followed Chen Ze all the way back to Wutong County and explained the basic situation of Wutong County.

The problem is still that problem, corrupt officials and corrupt officials simply want to eat people, all kinds of looting people's fat and ointment, forcing the people to live a life at all, the situation in the county is not bad, but the situation in the townships is extremely bad, it is obviously the autumn harvest season but many people have starved to death, and the problem of public security also needs to be solved urgently, after the accident in the past two days, the administrative system of Wutong County has basically collapsed, which has led to some people beginning to fish in troubled waters, and robbery incidents occur from time to time.

Xu Qianfang couldn't manage it, after all, the biggest pressure now was to prepare for war, and he didn't have much thought to manage the security of the present, just sent a patrol.

After coming to Wutong County, almost all the people hid in their homes and did not dare to come out, and no one dared to set up stalls on the street to do business.

After drinking, Chen Ze came to the county government office of Wutong County and summoned the seventeen still living bureaucrats for the first time.

These bureaucrats are not bad people, and they have room to do things, so Xu Qianfang only left a life, otherwise he would have become a ghost under the knife.

The most urgent thing now is to appease the people as soon as possible and stabilize the law and order in Wutong County.

Chen Ze took out some of the 500 soldiers and horses to organize security patrols, and the rest of the men and horses began to go to the townships in batches to inform them of the peace talks.

Notices began to be posted all over the city, not preparing for war, and no one would be held responsible, Xu Qianfang had pleaded guilty and been sent to Qingzhou for trial.

The soldiers trained by the Cao family are indeed considered good in military discipline, but before leaving, Chen Ze specially emphasized that the troops going to the townships are not allowed to enter the people, let alone oppress the people, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.

In addition, Chen Ze is ready to open a warehouse to release grain.

Xu Qianfang was really ruthless, not only killed most of the bureaucrats, but even those landlords and squires did not escape this catastrophe, all the houses were looted, and all the grain was now hoarded in the granary of the county government.

Chen Ze needs to restore normal production and life in Wutong County as soon as possible, and the release of grain can ensure that the vast majority of the people still have a way to live.

Fortunately, the scale of Wutong County is not large, and the total population of the county, including the townships, is about 50,000.

After Chen Ze called Xu Zhirong over, he asked Xu Zhirong to gather some bookkeepers throughout the city to prepare for the liquidation of the land in Wutong County.

Xu Zhirong, as the son of Xu Qianfang, is extremely famous in Wutong County, and the people are willing to cooperate, so Xu Zhirong will come forward to do everything next, and Chen Ze will assist to keep everything in order.

And Xu Zhirong gathered a group of account offices in a short period of time, a total of 26 people.

Chen Ze divided the 26 people into four teams, went to each township respectively, cooperated with the school officials who had already gone to each township, contacted the local village head, and asked the village chief to contact each family to verify the land situation, and then summarize it and send it to Wutong County.

Under Chen Ze's series of measures, Wutong County finally regained some vitality in just two days, and the vendors began to open for business normally, and the number of pedestrians on the road began to increase.

The townships have begun to continue the autumn harvest to ensure production order.

On the third day, Chen Ze asked Xu Zhirong to organize a group of relatively well-known people in Wutong County to invite them to the Wutong County Government to discuss how to maintain the normal operation of Wutong County next.

The administrative system must be restored as soon as possible, and the public security forces also need to be built, otherwise when Chen Ze leaves, Wutong County will definitely fall into chaos, and if the imperial court wants to send new county orders and bureaucrats at that time, it will take at least two or three months before and after, and within this time, Wutong County needs to be autonomous.

Now everyone is more worried about the problem of taxation, it will not be long after the autumn harvest, the imperial court will definitely have to tax, Wutong County has experienced this turmoil, at least thirty percent of the grain has been lost.

And now the whole county is still panicked, because there are indeed many people who support Xu Qianqian, for fear that when the time comes, the court will be held accountable, and others will also be implicated.

"You can rest assured and inform the whole city that this matter is not a rebellion, but bureaucratic corruption, which has caused the people to live in poverty, and the court will not be held accountable."

Chen Ze can indeed pack a ticket for this matter, and if the evidence is conclusive, if the palace can't even settle this matter, it will be really embarrassing.

"As for this tax ......"

Chen Ze checked the tax situation in Wutong County in recent years, and the highest tax was about 120,000 taels, and the lowest was about 80,000 taels.

"Brother Xu, confirm the land and harvest of each township as soon as possible, work harder, and send more people over."

Chen Ze thought about it, but decided to allocate silver from Qingzhou to subsidize the tax revenue of Wutong County, and first overcome this year's difficulties.

According to the tax to collect grain, the people of Wutong County simply can't survive this year, so the granary must be opened, according to the head of the start to reissue grain, in addition to the land liquidation, the original landlords and squires of the land re-distribution, re-formulation of the red deed.

As long as these can be put in place, Wutong County will soon be able to alleviate this catastrophe.
