It is entirely up to the new official to decide how many fires to burn when he takes office, and how long the fire will burn.

However, in view of the virtue of the former county guard, Chu Yujia had to make this fire bigger.

After coming out to introduce himself to these people, his eyes fell on Ye Peng beside him, and said, "Among these people, is there Shao Liangping's henchman?"

Hearing this, Ye Peng was stunned.

What does that mean?

Let yourself find out Shao Liangping's henchmen?

Isn't that to make yourself an offend?

Seeing Ye Peng's expression, Chu Yujia also understood what was going on, so he smiled and said, "I'm here, are you still worried that someone will dare to beat you?"

Ye Peng was afraid of offending people, so he didn't say a name for a long time.

Seeing him twisting like this, a man standing in the crowd stood up directly and said, "My lord, he can't say it, I ...... it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia looked at the man, chuckled and said, "Then I want to hear it, how many Shao Liangping's henchmen are there?"

The man's face was full of seriousness, and he arched his hand and said, "Go back to your lordship, at least ten people!"

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "You and Ye Peng together, point them all out." ”

Ye Peng couldn't help but laugh bitterly, in the final analysis, he still planned to pull himself into the water.

However, Ye Peng also understood that this was nothing more than a means for his subordinates, and it was also an opportunity for Chu Yujia to show his loyalty.

What else could he say about this, so he obediently followed the man and dragged out nearly twenty people from the crowd.

After one of them, a man who was nearly 30 years old was dragged out, his face was full of indignation, and he said, "Zhang Xiangjie, what do you want to do? Do you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on us?"

"Do you people usually harm the common people less?"

Zhang Xiangjie snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "There was no way to protect you with dog officials before, but now that the adults are rectifying the officials, how can you continue to harm people?"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia smiled.

These words undoubtedly revealed a lot of information to him, just looking at this Zhang Xiangjie is a straightforward figure, this kind of person must be the target of exclusion in the officialdom.

At this time, Zhang Xiangjie knelt down on one knee and intervened in Chu Yujia and said, "My lord, these people and that dog official have bullied the people and merchants in the city, and please make a decision." ”

"My lord, we have been wronged, and the surname Zhang is purely slandering us. ”

"My lord, he is only taking revenge on us. ”

"Yes, my lord, Zhang Xiangjie is the thief who is in cahoots with that dog official. ”

Zhang Xiangjie on the side heard this, and his face turned green with anger.

These people never say bad things on weekdays, and now they still have the face to beat a rake here and shout wrongs.

Zhang Xiangjie arched his hand to Chu Yujia: "Your Excellency, ......"

Chu Yujia waved his hand, signaling him to be calm.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yujia set his eyes on Ye Peng, and Ye Peng nodded at Chu Yujia without leaving a trace.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yujia had a plan in his heart, and looked at Zhang Xiangjie with a smile, but his words were extremely cold: "Raid the house, behead it, Zhang Xiangjie, are you okay as a supervisor?"

"No, it doesn't. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Xiangjie puzzled.

Zhang Xiangjie glanced at the people behind him, his expression became cold, and said, "The villain wants to execute himself!"

As soon as he heard this, Chu Yu was happy, and immediately ordered more than a dozen personal soldiers around him to take Zhang Xiangjie to raid the homes of those government soldiers.

After they left, Chu Yujia looked at Ye Peng: "Ye Peng, are there any people who are in the same stream as Shao Liangping?"

Ye Peng definitely bowed to Chu Yujia sincerely this time, and said, "No." ”

Now he completely admires this county guard, and only by doing things with such a county guard can he really have a future.

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "I also said just now, I am not to blame for your past, you are still in charge of accounts and other internal affairs, I hope you will do it yourself......"

Ye Peng also knew that only when Chu Yujia said this sentence did he really believe in himself, and once again gave a salute to Chu Yujia: "The subordinates must repay each other with death!"

After Zhang Xiangjie returned to his life after completing the things Chu Yujia had explained, Chu Yujia appointed Zhang Xiangjie in public as the commander of the county guard and the army, responsible for the security of the city.

He was immediately ordered to lead the soldiers in the county guard to assist the northwest soldiers to settle those displaced people and maintain law and order in the city.

When he was done, Zuo Jinkai, who went to raid the house, came back.

But when those real money and silver were piled up in front of Chu Yujia, even he was a little dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that a small county guard could be greedy for so much money and food.

Not to mention, there are 100,000 taels of gold ingots alone, and in comparison with gold and silver now, one tael of gold, one hundred taels of silver, and 100,000 taels of gold are 10 million taels of silver.

In addition, there were five million taels of silver, and there was so much grain and grass that it could no longer fit in the granary, which was completely putting all the money and wages used by the royal court to help the victims into his own pocket.

When Meng Feihang knew all this, he scolded directly: "Damn this dog thing that cut off his head is cheap for him, and he should be rewarded and executed." ”

"Ling Chi?"

Chu Yujia smiled bitterly: "We can't find that craftsman here, Ling Chi is a technical job." ”

After arranging the affairs in the county guard's office, it is time to reorganize the local army.

Villages, towns, counties, cities, and counties all have their own local armies, but it is only a matter of numbers.

There are local armies in villages and towns, but they are collectively called militias, and in many places they are just names.

As for counties, cities, and counties, they all have fixed garrisons, and it is clearly stipulated in the laws of the Mingwu Empire that the county garrison is not less than 300 but more than 500 people, the city garrison is not less than 1,000 people and not more than 5,000 people, and the county is not less than 20,000 people, and not more than 50,000 people.

But there are very few people who actually obey this law, and even fewer who can keep it.

Take Ye Guo as an example, after investigating in Shuiyun County, Chu Yujia found that there were 20,000 people recorded in Shuiyun County, and 5,000 people in Tongquan Mansion, the county seat, and the rest of the counties were reported according to the standard equipment.

But Chu Yujia knew that the garrison of Humaguan alone had exceeded 30,000 people, plus the people he brought now, there were now almost 60,000 garrisons in the entire Shuiyun County.

But when Chu Yujia really saw these people, it was really a bitter tear.

The old, the young, the sick and the disabled really have all kinds of things, and among the 5,000 people in this Tongquan Mansion, there are 2,000 people who can't find it.

This is interesting, after reporting 5,000 people, the royal court also gave 5,000 people's military salaries, but only 3,000 people received military salaries, and the remaining 2,000 people's military salaries were nothing more than flowing into the pockets of the county guards.

In such years, it is not uncommon for those in power to eat empty salaries.

After rectifying the situation in the county guard's mansion, Chu Yujia began to target these local troops stationed in the county town.

First of all, all these people were disorganized and dismantled, and the strong ones were selected from them to be incorporated into the Northwest Army, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were directly dismissed.

After these local armies enter the army, the officers and men of the Northwest Army will train together, and it will not be long before they will all become the Northwest Army.

Three days later, the five county guards under Shuiyun County were all brought back by Zuo Jinkai.

However, only three of the five county leaders came alive and on their own, and the rest were brought back by Zuo Jinkai with his head.

Zuo Jinkai followed Chu Yujia during this time, and also learned Chu Yujia's ruthlessness, and at the same time knew Chu Yujia's heart very well, some things didn't need him to say clearly, just a little hint, he could understand.

Cleaning up these disobedient people is only good for Chu Yujia, and there is no harm.

He is not a child soldier, let alone a fledgling stunned youth.

He grew up under the influence of Chu Qianwen since he was a child.

He knew very well that after Chu Qianwen was transferred from the northwest, King Ye carried out a major change of blood for the entire Shuiyun County, and the officials who were replaced were also transferred from outside.

These people have no other skills, but their ability to collect wealth is first-class, so Chu Yujia specially told him that if someone is killed, then immediately raid the family and exterminate the clan, and bring the money back first.

Once upon a time, Chu Yujia didn't care about money, but he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, but now he takes money very seriously.

And Zuo Jinkai also lived up to Chu Yujia's expectations, when he came back, the gold, silver and jewelry were full of more than a dozen carriages, and as for those grains and grass materials, it was impossible to count.

Looking at the two round heads on the ground, the three county guards who were alive were too frightened to look at them, and when they faced Chu Yujia, they couldn't help but be a little nervous.

The county guard, Wang Tingzheng is a seven-rank official, but Chu Yujia didn't say a word, and killed two when he arrived at the place.

However, on the way they came, they also heard that Chu Yujia had just arrived at the county guard's mansion, and he only chatted with Shao Liangping, the county guard, for half an hour, and then let the county guard's head fall to the ground.

Then this county guard is really a mouthful of saliva.

The corners of Chu Yujia's mouth were slightly raised, and he glanced up at Ye Peng, and said, "Select a few talented officials in the county guard's mansion, and if you can pass the assessment, you can directly be promoted to the county guard to take over the positions of several of them." ”

"Yes, my lord......"

Ye Peng answered, then turned around and walked away.

"I'm not a civil official, let alone a literati, I don't know how to be resolute. ”

"When I first arrived, someone told me that it was common for this place to be killed by homeless thieves and county guards. ”

"I think so, no, I just took office as a county warden and the county warden died in the line of duty, it's a pity. ”

He slowly raised his head and swept over everyone's faces, then slowly picked up the teacup, and said while sweeping the tea foam: "I think, for a long time in the future, this Shuiyun County will be under my control, if you can't do an honest errand under me, then just apply for an appointment and get out, I don't welcome people who don't have the same heart as me to stand by my side, understand?"

As soon as these words came out, several county guards and city lords nodded like pounded garlic.

They had heard of Chu Yujia, not to mention that he was Chu Qianwen's son.

Isn't his performance on the battlefield just terrifying?

Didn't those people who claimed to be the fierce generals of the Qi State also die in his hands?

And everyone has made it clear, this is the border pass, thousands of miles away from the royal court, and this place is in chaos, people may die at any time, and it is not uncommon for a county guard to die......
