Nangong Heng's nose was wheezing like an ox, and his eyes were so angry that his eyes were black, but he really didn't dare to seek death again. His staff were more discerning than him, "Miss Fengsan, you are new here, and you don't know much about Xizhou. Our state capital also has the same difficulties as the state capital."
, please give us a few days to discuss again."
"Xizhou obeys my orders, there is no room for negotiation!" Feng Yu stood up and looked at Nangong Heng who was lying limp on the ground, "On this basis, I will consider your request as appropriate. Lord Nangong, I admire your loyalty, but I will not accept it.
Your governance plan for Xizhou has destroyed Xizhou at your hands. It is not too late to make amends. This sentence is more suitable for you. If I were you, I would try every means to restore Xizhou to its prosperity more than ten years ago."
Feng Yu fluttered her sleeves and left, and Nangong Heng shouted heartbreakingly behind her, "You don't know the situation in Xizhou at all, you... you can't cure Xizhou!"
Feng Yu turned around and looked at him with a smile, "I can!"
Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it.
Ever since she was a child, as long as she wanted to do something well, there was nothing she could do wrong.
Nuanyang said, "Master Nangong is really foolish and loyal."
"Why not, Mr. Hou!" Feng Yu laughed, "People like me, who have a weak sense of belonging and don't care about orthodoxy, are in the minority after all. Mr. Nangong is ranked among the top Jinshi scholars and has outstanding policy making. He also made achievements in the Ministry of Household Affairs back then. How can he bring Xizhou to the forefront?
Is it managed like this? Nuanyang, you send someone to explore the situation in the mine, and I’ll go find Zhang Hu.”
"yes!"
They were not very familiar with the situation in Xizhou and needed a more detailed investigation.
The group of bandits that Xie Xun suppressed had several factions. The Xizhou bandits had a characteristic that they respected the strong. Although their forces were different, they had a consensus. In the future, they wanted to live and work in peace and contentment in Xizhou as ordinary people. Several big figures
The masters shook hands and made peace. Zhang Hu was a strong man among a group of masters. Although the bandits were not from the same mountain, they usually had no grievances. After entering Xizhou City, several masters worked together to lead their own people to make a living.
There were frictions, but no bloodshed.
When Feng Yu was in Yunzhou, she established diplomatic relations with Zhang Hu's wife, Zhang Lin, and sought medical advice for their young son. Zhang Hu and his wife were also willing to take the lead in Xizhou City for them.
These more than 10,000 people were assigned to live in the south of the city, and the bandits occupied the mountains as kings. There were already talented people in charge of public affairs, and the more than 10,000 people were arranged well. When Feng Yu arrived at Xizhou, Zhang Hu basically led his people to explore Xizhou.
Clear, except for the mines.
"Girl, the Salt and Iron Division actually makes the decision in Xizhou City, not the state government. Most residents in the city live together in the east of the city, and the smelting factories are on the west. They are guarded by people from the Salt and Iron Division, and they control smelting and transportation. Su
The family business is responsible for sales. The state government collects dividends from it. There are about 4,000 soldiers in the government. The Salt and Iron Division is controlled by bandits. Now they put on official robes and transform into government officials. The mines are guarded by 20,000 people, and it is extremely strict for others to enter.
No. There are two iron officials in the Salt and Iron Division. One is surnamed Su and is the shopkeeper of the Su family business. The other is surnamed Zhu and is called Zhu Shengkai.
Brother, in the past few years, he led 10,000 mountain bandits to capture the mine, and gradually recruited more than 10,000 people. Now he has joined forces with the Su Family Trading Company to control the iron mine. 20,000 people are guarding the mine, and there are also several government soldiers under the Salt and Iron Department.
There are thousands of people, but there are less than a thousand households of ordinary people, and the rest of the residents were once fierce bandits."
Nuanyang had a headache, "Then, besides the ordinary thousands of households, Xizhou City is now full of ruthless bandits?"
Zhang Hu and other senior leaders smiled meaningfully, "We were sent here by the prince!"
"General, we are good citizens now!"
Nuanyang, "..."
The future of Xizhou’s folk customs seems to be predictable!
Nuanyang secretly thought, it is necessary to increase the number of troops!
Feng Yu knew the general situation in Xizhou. Among the bandits, there were several talents who were good at coordinating the bandits. Feng Yu selected them. She ordered people to go to the state capital to obtain household registration files and land files.
She can't do everything by herself, she can only know people and make good use of them. "After you get the household registration files and land files, you will start counting, part of which is the cultivated land in Xizhou, and part of which is the empty houses in the city, and then record them again. The houses are based on their size and geographical location.
, I will give you a quotation. After the food harvest, you can live and work in peace and contentment. This money must be handed over, and I will give it to you first. The people who migrated from Xizhou will return to their hometown one day. If they find that their houses have been occupied, they will be
I will compensate and make arrangements. If they still want to return to their old residence, the house you occupy must be released, and I will find you a place to live, or you can support yourself and build houses on the land allocated to you by the state capital."
Several big heads were in an uproar, and they all occupied the best residence in the south of the city. Feng Yu still showed her affection and spent a lot of time to persuade the big heads.
"The land is simple. It is re-divided and distributed on a household basis. The land is under the unified jurisdiction of the state government. You lease and farm, and each household grows half of the land to grow millet and wheat. You can freely choose to farm the other half, and you are responsible for your profits and losses. Chapter 1
The state government will provide seeds every year, and there will be a new policy on land tax. The state government only charges rental fees. The specific policy will be announced after I stabilize the mine situation. I also encourage everyone to raise livestock and poultry, chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep.
I will provide it for one year, and the cattle and farm tools needed for plowing will also be transported to Xizhou. Whatever you are good at, do whatever you want, and I will provide you with the help you need. In the first year, I will charge high taxes.
, to deduct the initial investment, and the future taxes will return to normal, and you can support yourself." Feng Yu's voice was gentle and powerful, "Business and trade in Xizhou will definitely recover. Let's work together to build Xizhou. This is where you are.
's home."
Houses that provide shelter from wind and rain and land to support themselves are their biggest concerns. Feng Yu briefly talked about these two issues. Rebuilding a city involves all aspects and will also lead to many problems. It cannot be solved overnight. The people have
Find a safe place to live, take care of your business, and do the rest slowly.
"Don't worry, girl, as long as we can support our family and take root, we are willing to do anything." Zhang Hu said solemnly, "Girl gave us land, seeds, and will open up trade. We are the first batch of people to rebuild Xizhou, and we will definitely not
You will let the girl down."
The heads of the house all felt very excited after hearing this. Feng Yu almost provided them with the basis for their livelihood, giving them land, houses, seeds, and cubs of livestock and poultry. When Xie Xun suppressed the bandits, although he confiscated part of the money, he also gave it to them.
If there is any leftover, they will be able to survive with their own hands.
"Heads, before I take over the mine, you must stabilize the rear and avoid conflicts with the residents in the city. The state government has laws to follow, and banditry habits must be changed. Xizhou will rule the city with laws, and mistakes will not be tolerated.
." Feng Yu was afraid that the bad habits of these gangsters would be hard to change, so she first asked a few big bosses to restrain her own people.
These bandits all have big bosses, and Feng Yu can only control these big bosses without being able to control them.
"I'll understand later. Don't worry, girl. Whoever dares to make mistakes will be killed first." He swore in a fierce tone, then asked with a smile, "Girl, when will the seeds and the livestock and poultry you promised arrive?"
"I will be stationed in Xizhou within three years and I will never break my promise to you. Don't worry."
"Girl, you want to take charge of Xizhou?" Zhang Hu was also surprised. He thought that Feng Yu would handle the affairs of Xizhou and then return to Jinzhou. The conditions here are difficult. The three girls were descended from heaven and refused to eat fireworks. They did not seem to be able to endure hardships.
Feng Yu said, "Yes, you and I share the joys and sorrows."
Nuanyang thought secretly, girl, I don't dare to let you really suffer.
On the first night after arriving in Xizhou, Feng Yu was very busy. When Feng Yu came to look for Zhang Hu and others, Zhang Da had already found a house in the south of the city. It should be the house of a wealthy gentleman. It had been uninhabited for a long time and was overgrown with weeds.
The victory is that the place is large enough and well-preserved. If you are in vain, you can only settle down first.
While Qiuxiang and Chunlu were cleaning up the house, Fengyu looked at the development trajectory of the Salt and Iron Division, the state capital, and Xizhou in the past ten years under the lamp, and she somewhat understood why Nangong Heng had managed Xizhou like this.
Nangong Heng has no autonomy. Xizhou is a collusion between bandits and merchants. Has Nangong Heng not reported the problems of the Twelve States Iron Mine to the court for so many years?
Feng Shu has not noticed the iron ore in Xizhou for so many years. The Xizhou Salt and Iron Department should have expert guidance. As long as they provide military supplies normally and do not engage in fraud. The weapons and armor are excellent, and the cavalry will not control the flow of the iron ore. Feng Yu’s finger is on the account book
A little bit more, the overall finances of the twelve states are tight. Even if they buy and sell by force, they probably won’t be able to squeeze out much money. Where will these iron ores go to be cashed in?
Nangong Heng must know!
Qiuxiang, Chunlu and others spent the night tidying up the house. Fengyu only slept for an hour when Qiuxiang woke her up. It was already dawn.
Shopkeepers Su and Li from the trading firm came to see Feng Yu.
Feng Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned again and again. Her body was healthier than in previous years. She had been working hard recently and lacked sleep, and she always felt exhausted.
"Let them wait." Feng Yu said in a deep voice, "I will sleep for another hour."
