Ye Tan led the sergeant through the entire Songzhou City. The other tribesmen on both sides bowed their heads, while the people in Songzhou shouted happily. Even the people in the teahouse and opera house were singing about missing the expedition.

People's songs.

Ye Tan originally planned to go back directly, but Kong Dade followed him and said that he couldn't do it because it was a kind of showing off and a kind of intimidation.

Therefore, he could only do this, and at the same time, he had to give a few smiles to the people around him, just to let people know that he had won.

However, some people have noticed that there is almost no difference between the soldiers who went out and those who came back. However, after almost all the soldiers have entered, the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields behind cannot get in. There is also the need for the Tomb of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

The ashes of those people were also directly picked up and transported away. Because these things have not been divided yet, they can only be placed outside for the time being. However, Xing Tian has already led people to maintain them.

These things must be disposed of as soon as possible, because after a long time, Ye Tan may not be able to carry just the fodder.

Finally returning to the Governor's Mansion, Ye Tan threw the horse to the soldiers beside him, then glanced at them and said, "Reply to each of them, rest and have a holiday. Let's celebrate for three days."

After saying that, he saw Ye Dafa standing there crying. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle Dafa, I'm hungry. Get me something delicious. I'll eat it soon."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, go right away." Ye Dafa wiped his face, and then led his men to start preparations.

When Ye Tan arrived at the living room, he saw all the county magistrates and some of the chiefs coming. This made him very confused. It would be better not to come. These people must be here to ask for something.

"Your Majesty, this is a great victory. It can be said that you have worked hard. I will congratulate you."

Seeing Ye Tan coming back, these people immediately stood up and saluted. They didn't have any bad thoughts this time. This man was the God of Wealth.

Ye Tan waved his hand, then sat on the main seat, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile, "You guys are really fast."

Ningyuan County Magistrate Tang Sheng, Dadingshu County Magistrate Mao Wenwen and Jiaochuan County Magistrate Pan Wei all blushed when they heard Ye Tan's words. However, now is not the time to be embarrassed. If you are embarrassed, you will

I don’t have many things, so I don’t mind having such a face.

"The Governor is really powerful. No one in Songzhou will starve to death this time." Tang Sheng is naturally used to flattering people, but this is true. Those anchors of Ye Tan before,

They all seemed to be a bit dissatisfied, and some people even preferred to save money rather than do anything. Ye Tan once told them that government affairs cannot be forced, but the government itself must know what needs to be done. Now everything may not be possible.

It's too late. Although it won't make the country rich, it can still be exchanged for some things that are available in other places but not in Songzhou.

"Haha, you guys are really capable. By the way, have you brought the things I asked for before?" Ye Tan smiled to himself. Although he was still a little tired, he still planned to deal with these things first.

others.

"Master Governor, you asked us to count the population in the area before. Now we have almost done it, and we have carried out household registration according to the previous regulations. Originally, this matter was not easy, but after I heard that the Tang Dynasty was victorious, they

They are all willing to come over." Tang Sheng's words are not unreasonable, because in the past, some gangsters were caused by the government. Either the various taxes were very heavy, or the government only collected food, but never gave any to the people.

benefit.

Seeing Mark standing not far away, Ye Tan smiled. It seemed that Pan Wei got along well with them.

Feeling Ye Tan's eyes falling on him, Mark felt a little uncomfortable, as did Meng Yue who was standing outside, because although Ye Tan had done a lot of bad things before, he was on his own territory after all, and now

Looking at the tall Governor's Mansion, they didn't know what to do deep down in their hearts. But after Pan Wei informed himself and others that they were coming, there would naturally be a lot of benefits to be gained, otherwise, they would not dare to come.

.

Then there are other leaders, some of whom are under their jurisdiction. Some of these people may not know Ye Tan yet, but their knowledge of Datang's saber is not empty talk, so no matter how much they scratched their heads before, now

They didn't dare to say another word.

You can tell from their looks that they are very tired, because the people who come here are not stupid.

"Everyone, sit down and let's chat while eating." Ye Tan saw Ye Dafa at the door and clapped his hands. Then Ye Dafa led his servants to start serving dishes. In addition to the most famous braised pork, there are also

Specialties from various places, among the leaders, Mark was the only one who was a little more comfortable, but he looked at Ye Tan's eyes while sitting there.

Ye Tan didn't care about this. He didn't take off his armor and just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

So Tang Sheng and Mao Wenwen also started eating. Dishes with rice were Ye Tan's favorite, so he ate quickly. After he finished eating, those tall people also ate a lot.

Things that they usually don't like at all turned out to be so delicious here, and they couldn't help but savor it a lot.

However, when Ye Tan gave up his job, they also gave up.

Tang Sheng took out a document from his arms and handed it over, followed by Mao Wenwen and Pan Wei. Even Gao Yuan sent some, but Gao Yuan did not come because Jiulipu would have some adjustments due to the victory of this war.

Foreigners also need to be regulated. It would be more troublesome if they directly attacked Jiulipu or Yejiacun in anger.

Tang Sheng's memorial stated that Dingyuan County has a total population of 19,899 people. The oldest is ninety years old this year, and the youngest is only a few months old. They are distributed all over the place. It is written very clearly.

, and also wrote down the current living conditions. These were all on the form that Ye Tan made. After filling them out, it became very clear.

As for Mao Wenwen, there were 22,250 people in the Great Dingshu. The oldest was a hundred years old and the youngest was just born. However, he was considered a bit of a thief. He also talked about some of his personal experiences later.

The bad part is that there are more mountains, but there are also a lot of grasslands.

Pan Wei's Jiaochuan County has a population of 35,028, and the oldest one is seventy-five years old. Because he is familiar with Ye Tan, he told some of his sufferings, and it seems that he is planning to do something about it.

Some benefits.

However, there are more than 42,000 people in Jiulipu, and more than 60,000 people in Songzhou City. The total number is about 160,000 people. In the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a lower state.

But in Ye Tan's view, there are too many people in this township that has not yet seen posterity. And many of these people have been poor all their lives. They may not have enough to eat often. Many of them may live in poverty in the next few years.

Those who die within a year, because if the living conditions are not good, some people may be able to survive, but if the living conditions are good, they will slack off.

"I told you before, since there are so many, then just register. If you show up again in the future, you will have to work hard for a year before talking about anything else, otherwise you will not be accepted. You people here have two people per person and two people at home.

A sheep or three. At the same time, every county or village must have a medical clinic with no less than ten people. It must have pediatrics and gynecology. If Songzhou's military law is not implemented in daily life,

All will be disqualified, and the most important point is that although you have a lot of food reserves, you must use them sparingly. After all, in three days, there will be almost tens of thousands of people in each of your counties going to build roads.

This cannot be denied, not by anyone." Ye Tan said slowly while pressing the memorial.

The previous words were naturally happy, but when they heard about the fortress people behind them, several county magistrates looked not so good, and several chiefs even more so. What does this mean? Is it because they intend to dilute their rights?

A few county magistrates were better off, but although some of their subordinate leaders were intimidated, it didn't mean they could agree with any of Ye Tan's actions.

Looking at the faces of the people below, Ye Tan continued, "You are too short-sighted. You always look at the things in your own land. Do you think it is more than half of five, or more than half of ten?

?Without a population, how can you get more things? I am ordering this matter, not discussing it, so please give me this face."

Several county leaders looked at each other, knowing what was going on, and gave their subordinates a wink. They have just returned from sending troops. No matter whether they win or lose, they are not easy to mess with. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.

, killing people without blinking an eye, sometimes it’s just a matter of words.

Seeing that they had no further ideas, Ye Tan continued, "Starting from today, we will start preparing for disaster relief. Although we, Songzhou, may not have such a problem, at the same time, I checked the recent business acquisitions.

I found that you have plenty of food. That’s right. Chickens and ducks are the bane of fear. If there is no water, I remember that there are snow-capped mountains in many places. Although they are not big, there are a lot of snowflakes on them.

When the time comes, Yejiacun and others will dig a well for you. Of course, it is for a fee, and these cattle and sheep are not for you, but for your people. These numbers will be strictly calculated when the time comes, and anyone who shows up will

Error, in the light case, I will have to work as a coolie for three years, in the serious case, I will be beheaded directly. There is no room for negotiation. I heard that in the past, some people also gave cattle and sheep to some places, but they turned around and ate them. Who dares to kill me now?

If the food they gave away was eaten, I dared to take out their intestines and hang them on the branches outside to dry, do you hear me clearly?"

Ye Tan's eyes were like a chainsaw, so they could only lower their heads and say yes. If they found fault at this time, they would be seeking their own death.

"Of course, if you people work hard, you will get more cattle and sheep, as well as some specialties of the Tibetan people, but you have to remember that I, Songzhou, can be generous with things, but if I don't give it to you, it will be over. I heard

Are there still disobedient people in Dading garrison? If it is true, then elimination is the only way. After the war is over in Datang, there will be a huge period of stability. During this time, the army will temporarily

It is useless. If you are willing to try my Datang knife to see if it is very sharp, I can grant his wish."

Ye Tan's words can be said to be heart-breaking, but no one dares to refute it now. Why doesn't he take off his armor to eat and talk? This is the purpose.

Since ancient times, we have been afraid of the soft and the hard. This truth is not difficult.

After they all went out, Ye Tan sat on the chair a little tired and fell asleep.

After a while, when Ye Dafa came out, he saw Ye Tan lying there asleep, his face a little not good, why? He works all day long, and Yuping doesn't have time to deal with these things now, so he asked her to leave.

People carried Ye Tan to the room. The armor on his body must have been uncomfortable, so they took it off for him. Thinking about Ye Tan, it was really hard work. He worked for a long time and finally had no time to go home to see his parents. He still

A child.

After Ye Dafa came out, he saw someone else coming in. He looked at Ye Biao beside him with a bad expression and said, "Until noon tomorrow, no one is allowed to disturb Ye Tan's rest. Anyone who dares to come will be thrown out."

This was the first time Ye Biao saw Ye Da lose such a temper. Although he found it unbelievable, he still nodded, and then a large group of people surrounded the entrance.

A group of people holding Ye Tan's warrant went directly to the outside of the city. They were not the only ones who came. Each of them was followed by hundreds or even thousands of people, because there were so many things.

When they saw the sheep and cattle, all the leaders felt that they were too petty. The governor was so generous that he was a waste of money.

Kong Dade led a group of people there to help. After watching these people come over, they began to carry out related sorting work. Ruinan and others had already sent away medicinal materials and the like, and at the same time, they also helped some injured sergeants.

Heal.

But thousands of miles away in the capital, the scene in the court hall was completely different.

Li Shimin had a lawsuit on his forehead and looked at the reports given to him by the people below.

"Your Majesty, the weather has been getting warmer recently, but it never rains. Si Tianjian said that it has snowed twice this year. The snow is not heavy, and the locusts have not been frozen to death. I am afraid there will be a locust disaster, and it has not rained.

, signs of drought have appeared in various places, please express it clearly." Although Wei Zheng is very conspicuous in his purple robe, he looks poor by nature. Even if he puts on the dragon robe, he does not look like an emperor, and none of his words are

It made Li Shimin happy.

When Li Shimin raised his head, he saw that the people from the aristocratic families next to him were staring at him. These people were not good people. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to disgust the emperor, but there was no way. There were a lot of things going on recently, so this

This opportunity is not easy.

"Can the Tang treasury handle it?" When Li Shimin asked this question, Changsun Wuji's face trembled. Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Don't you know what you have done? Ask me?

But he had to answer, because everyone around him was staring at him, "Master of the Ministry of Revenue, do you have money?"

"Your Majesty, the treasury has no money."
