"The county magistrate summoned seventeen large Han households in the city today, and three of them secretly worked for him." Zhao Aqi said expressionlessly.

Gongsun Fu said: "The county magistrate's bodyguard Ma Cheng bribed Duan Da, the commander of the Wuwei Camp, yesterday, but he refused."

What is supposed to come will always come, and after a few days of calmness, Li Mi's fox tail still showed up.

No one wants to be left out.

But these little moves look a bit ridiculous.

Zhao Aqi and Gongsunfu were very competent and basically had Li Mi targeted to death.

Who he saw and what he said every day was clearly known even to the number of flies flying in and out of the county government office.

"It's done well. If you don't have enough manpower, or if you have any other needs, you can raise them." Yang Zheng said gently.

Today, Panhan is completely under his control.

"I have no other requests, but Widow Li in the city has one of my flesh and blood in her belly. I would like to ask the general to take care of her." Zhao Aqi said with some anxiety.

"So fast?" Yang Zheng smiled teasingly, "You kid can do it."

They are both fallen people in the world. Most of the women in the city have lost their relatives. Zhao Aqi is also alone. Now that he has flesh and blood, it is a matter of joy.

And if he can say it, he already has absolute trust in himself.

Zhao Aqi's rock-like face finally showed emotional twists and turns, "Dang, I didn't expect it at the beginning..."

Gongsunfu also laughed.

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "This is easy to talk about. Tomorrow I will have people clean up the south of the city, build a few spacious courtyards, and invite all the brothers' friends there so that we can take care of each other."

"Thank you, General." Zhao Aqi wanted to bow down.

Yang Zheng grabbed his hand and said, "We are all brothers who live and die together, why should we be so open-minded?"

Both of them looked grateful.

Only with a human touch can you retain people. Soldiers are also people of flesh and blood, not just numbers on the books. Under normal circumstances, as long as the old soldiers do not harm the common people, violate military laws without knowing it, and do not cause too much trouble, Yang Zheng will turn a blind eye.

Close one eye.

Of course, military discipline is very strict for the Qiang and Ji camps.

Under normal circumstances, you are not allowed to leave the camp at all.

The Qiang people are tough by nature, but they also worship the strong and are obedient to Yang Zheng.

Feng Qi's first batch of Liangzhou horses arrived, twenty-seven of them, with slender limbs, fierce dragons and tigers, strong and agile, and half a head taller than ordinary war horses.

No wonder it has such a great reputation.

Even though Yang Zheng had experienced the bloody storms of the battlefield, he would still feel a natural pressure when standing in front of the horse.

If paired with horse armor and sharp soldiers, it is not difficult to imagine its power on the battlefield.

But heavy cavalry is not what Yang Zheng can afford now.

Horse armor, saddle, stirrup, shoe...

Blacksmiths, cobblers, and veterinarians are needed.

This is a complete industrial chain.

At present, Wuhan City is not enough to support it.

Most of the thousand armors allocated by Xiahou Ba were leather armors, and there were only more than a hundred sets of iron armors.

The armor coverage rate of Yang Zheng's 1,000 men is already very high.

In this era, it would be great for many Qiang people to have a handy weapon.

Yang Zheng distributed Liangzhou horses to the veterans of Wuwei Camp.

Promise there will be more in the future.

The soldiers were very excited. Yang Zheng gave them more than 20 horses that he had replaced. Everyone was happy.

Wuweiying, Jiying, Qiangying, Yang Zheng simply changed the forty-three children into Qingying, under semi-military management.

In late May, Zhou Yu finally rushed back in a hurry.

As soon as they met, they gave a big salute and said, "My subordinates pay homage to the general!"

Yang Zheng pulled him up, and another stone fell in his heart, "Zhong Ming has worked hard this time."

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order and found out the whereabouts of Linghu Ziqian." Zhou Yu said happily.

It turned out that he went to Luoyang to inquire about Tang Fang Zheng Jun, but there was no definite information.

Tang Fang knew that Yang Zheng was concerned about this matter and summoned his subordinates to inquire. Finally, he learned from a village chief who knew Linghu Sheng that Linghu Sheng had been recalled to Yanzhou by his tribe.

Zhou Yu rushed to Yanzhou and found out that Linghu Sheng was the nephew of Linghuyu, the governor of Yanzhou.

"There is a letter written by Linghu Ziqian." Zhou Yu dug out the bamboo slips from the package.

Yang Zheng spread out.

"My brother Xingyun: The elder in the family was seriously ill and had no choice, so he left without saying goodbye. I was very happy to hear that my brother had arrived in Longxi and found life in a desperate situation. Luoyang was windy and rainy, and it was not the place where I was destined to live. I wish My brother has great ambitions, and we will see you again someday."

In fact, as long as he heard the news that Linghu Sheng was safe, Yang Zheng would feel at ease.

Everyone fought their way out of Luo Valley, and it was not easy to survive.

Linghuyu, the governor of Yanzhou, is certainly more reliable than the little captain himself.

Maybe by then I won't be able to survive any longer and will have to seek refuge with him.

"Zhongming came back at the right time." From Chang'an to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Yanzhou, traveling thousands of miles, never leaving, following him back to this city, how could Yang Zheng not know the loyalty in it?

Wuhan lacks everything, but the most lacking thing is talent.

Liu Heng, Meng Guan, and Su Hong are all still young and cannot stand alone.

Now that Li Mi is in Wuhan, Yang Zheng cannot go to Dragon Snake Valley often.

Although the Qiang camp was obedient, they did not have the right people to control them, so they were still worried.

Zhou Yu came back and solved this problem.

Zhang Te, Zhou Yu's right-hand man, are all ready now.

Yang Zheng gathered the old brothers from the Wuwei camp to have a drink, which was regarded as a blessing for Zhou Yu.

Everyone on Yang Zheng's side was very happy, and Li Mi's actions were getting bigger and bigger these days.

After finding out the current situation of Panhan, he worked tirelessly to find corners.

Either to instigate rebellion against the Wuwei camp, or to contact the major Han households in the city and the Hanjia Wubao outside the city.

The effects are not very good.

Yang Zheng also enjoyed testing the loyalty of the military.

The people in the Wuwei Camp were extremely united and did not care about Li Mi, an empty-headed county magistrate.

As for the Han people in Longxi, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have been oppressed by officials even more miserably than the Qiang people. The Qiang people couldn't bear it and moved further northwest and southwest, but the Han people couldn't leave.

However, Yang Zheng still underestimated Li Mi's ability to make trouble.

I don’t know how he got the idea and suddenly proposed to collect business tax.

There are many businessmen traveling from north to south in Wuhan City, including Qiang, Han, Di, Zhi, and even Xianbei people from Hexi Province. They also pass through this place to go to Anding and Tianshui to buy grain.

Among them there are also people who resell private salt.

Seeing huge business opportunities, Li Mi imposed heavy taxes on business travelers.

At the beginning of the founding of the Cao Wei Dynasty, compared with the Eastern Han Dynasty, corvee was light and taxes were light, and taxes were clearly ordered to be tithe.

However, each generation of the Cao family was not as good as the last, and the Ming Emperor promoted a trend of luxury. Naturally, money and food would not come from the aristocratic family. Therefore, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes increased day by day, and local private projects were levied on their own.

According to the experience of later generations, Yang Zheng believes that only the gathering of people will bring economic benefits.

Eating, drinking, staying in a hotel, and renting a house are all money.

Li Mi was so exhausted that the great situation created by Yang Zheng was in vain.

This fellow also entangled several large Han households in the city and created a team of hundreds of tax collectors, who showed off their power in the city every day.

Moreover, Li Mi had a natural dislike for the Qiang and Di people and often allowed tax collectors to oppress the barbarians.

The Qiang people cried and complained in front of Yang Zheng many times.

Yang Zheng spent so much effort to maintain the relationship between the Qiang people, but Li Mi messed up everything in just a few days.

There was a lot of chaos in the city.
