After listening to what Zhong Laoyao said, Zhen Mi and Shang Yang also felt a sense of absurdity and unreality.
But when I think about it carefully, I think it's terrifying and reasonable.
First, Tian Pi was tempted to take advantage of Zhong Wuyan and ordered Wang Wu to send troops. Then Wang Wu despised Zhong Wuyan and sent a stupid deputy general here. The result of this stupid deputy general's arrival was that the five hundred soldiers, including himself and
Congguan was captured alive by Zhong Wuyan.
At this time, Deng Ai came up with another clever plan such as a surprise attack on Fufeng County.
This plan was so strange that, let alone Wang Wu, he could not have imagined it. Even Xiao He, the magistrate of Fufeng County, would definitely fall into the hands of this plan.
All said and done, in the final analysis, it was because Wang Wu did not expect that his group would be on the mountain.
In order to curry favor with Tian Pi, Wang Wu and his guard Zhang Chao booked an entire restaurant to entertain Tian Pi.
This undoubtedly gave Li Mu an opportunity to catch a turtle in a jar.
And this is the best part!
Li Mu actually used coercion and bribery to lure Tian Pi, and he picked up this county town in vain.
One day, just one day after they came to Cheung Chau, they already had a city of their own. This was called Shang Yang and it was reasonable for them to feel it was unreal.
Pang Juan and Ji Ming figured out Wang Jiao's daily routine in just one day.
Of course, this kind of clarification was not done by squatting down to find out, but by Pang Juan spending baht to find out.
Just when the two of them planned to wait until the next day to attack Wang Jiao, at noon the next day, they heard an extremely shocking news from the people.
Wang Wu, the Prime Minister of Fufeng County, was killed last night by the second son of Mu Shou, who was accused of arrogance and extravagance. After killing Wang Wu, the second son immediately appointed a man named Li Mu as the new governor of Fufeng County.
When the two heard the news, they thought they had heard it wrong.
But when they saw Deng Ai, Ran Min, and Bai Qi at the gate of the county government office, they believed it.
Deng Ai and the others came with troops, bringing a total of five hundred soldiers.
When the people of Lingxia County saw the normally arrogant and domineering Wang Jiao being carried out of the county government office by a ferocious general with a heavy back and a heavy back, the people cheered.
Although this Lingxia County There were a thousand soldiers stationed, but none of them dared to step forward to rescue their county magistrate.
Ran Min, Bai Qi led a hundred soldiers to escort Wang Jiao back to Fufeng County.
Deng Ai stayed behind with 400 soldiers.
When Pang Juan and Ji Ming met Deng Ai, Deng Ai told them that Li Mu wanted them to stay in Lingxia County, with Pang Juan as the county magistrate and Ji Ming as the school general, and they would leave the four hundred soldiers to them.
people.
While Pang Juan and Ji Ming were still looking shocked, Deng Ai patted Pang Juan on the shoulder and said, "If it hadn't been for Brother Juan's recommendation that day, Ai Jue would not be where he is today. Although my lord has persuaded Tian Pi to cooperate with my lord, that cooperation is nothing more than...
The lord used the false words to delay Tian Pi. The lord said that once Tian Bi returns and tells Kuai Tong, Kuai Tong will see through the false words that the lord told him. By then, Tian Pi will definitely raise an army to take back Fufeng County. "
After saying this to Pang Juan and the other two, Deng Ai paused and said: "So, my lord hopes that you two can make this Lingxia County my lord's Lingxia County as soon as possible, because the war will come at any time."
But after hearing what Deng Ai said, Pang Juan and Ji Ming also clasped their fists at him and said, "Please go back and tell your lord, General Deng, that we will live up to your lord's trust."
"Okay! Then I'll go first!"
Zhen Mi and four others have entered the city!
When entering the city, Li Mu was searching Wang Wu's home.
The gold and silver jewelry found in Wang Wu's mansion must be confiscated, but Wang Wu's family left Li Mu at a loss as to how to dispose of them.
This Wang Wu had so many children, and having many children meant that this guy had many wives and concubines.
Just when Li Mu was in trouble and wondering how to deal with Wang Wu's seventy-eight children and ninety wives and concubines, Zhen Mi came.
As soon as he came, he helped Li Mu solve this problem.
"How about we arrange them to go to Changping?"
"Changping?" But after hearing what Zhen Mi said, Li Mu was also suddenly startled.
Yes, why did he forget Changping!
Since Wang Wu's wife and children can no longer stay in Fufeng County, it is better to send them to Changping.
This will bring prosperity
There was land for women and children like them to live in, but Jian Wenhui and his wife were watching them. Even if they wanted to get close to Wang Wu's old tribe, they couldn't get there.
In front of Wang Wu's residence, more and more people gathered.
They, the common people, all wanted to see what the new county chief looked like.
Now that they saw how handsome the new county guard was, and his delicate features, they felt a little relieved.
After all, the quality of a person can also be seen from his face.
Although Li Mu didn't know how to govern a county, he knew that if he wanted officials and people to be a family, he had to make the people think that he, the county governor, was worthy of their support.
Looking at the common people, Li Mu raised a smile and said to them: "It is said that when a new official takes office, he must burn three fires. Of course, I am not exempt from this cliché."
After saying this to the people, the people who just thought Li Mu would be a good person immediately looked at him with the same hatred and hatred.
Ignoring the anger of the people, Li Mu stretched out a finger and continued: "This first fire is for those in the city who had bribed Wang Wu. Since they have money to bribe Wang Wu, from today on, I will
The county governor then increased their taxes by 40%."
"This second fire!" Ignoring the commotion of the people below, Li Mu stretched out his second finger and said: "It is for those idle, bullying men and women in Chengcheng City of this county! If you really think that you are useless
If you can only rely on bullying to show how awesome you are, then I'm sorry, but starting from today, this county will set up a yamen specifically to deal with evil forces like you."
"The county has already decided on the name of this yamen, so it will be called the Inspection Department. Of course, if you want to do good, the county will not deny you the opportunity. After all, you can do a lot to improve by recognizing your mistakes!"
"This third fire!"
Holding out the third finger, Li Mu continued to say to the people below in a mocking tone: "This third fire is for you. From today on, all people in the city will have their taxes reduced by 20%, and the county's income tax will be reduced by 20%."
, the county magistrate will not take any of it, all of it will be used for the construction of the city and county."
After Li Mu finished speaking, there was silence in Wang Wu's mansion.
Zhen Mi is looking at her with a burning gaze Looking at Li Mu, Chao Cuo, Shang Yang, and Xiao He, they were also looking at him with excited eyes.
The eyes of Ma Su and Wang Jian were hot!
Sure enough, they were following the wrong person. Li Mu really has the ability to govern the world!
"Dad, did you hear that? Just now, the new county magistrate said that he would give us a tax reduction, and he even reduced it by 20%."
"Why didn't you hear that?" He replied to his mother-in-law. The common man was not as optimistic as the woman and said, "I just don't know if this new county magistrate is just talking about it."
"How can I just talk about my child's father? The new county magistrate said it in front of us. Is it possible that he can take back the water he spilled?"
"Everything you say now is in vain. This month will be over soon. When the taxes are paid, you will know whether the new county magistrate is just talking about it."
It was strange that Li Mu reduced their taxes by 20%, but these people did not cheer below as Li Mu expected.
Not only did they not cheer, Li Mu even saw people starting to leave.
Everyone in Zhen Mi also saw this strange phenomenon.
Zhen Mi wanted to go down and grab a commoner to ask what was going on, but she was stopped by Shang Yang beside her.
After all the people had dispersed, Shang Yang slowly walked up to Li Mu, who was frowning, and said: "My Lord, Wang Wu has oppressed the people for too long, so the people are indifferent to the Lord's mercy on them. However,
My lord, please don’t be discouraged. This is the end of September, and when these people pay taxes for September, they will believe whether what my lord said is true.”
Shang Yang's words were unanimously agreed by Chao Cuo and Xiao He.
Just when the two of them were about to step forward to comfort Li Mu, Li Mu suddenly looked at Xiao He and said: "Old Xiao, I just said that I would set up an inspection department for the people. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Huh?" But after hearing what Li Mu said, Xiao He was slightly surprised.
He was surprised because when Li Mu told the people that he wanted to build an inspection department to protect the people's vital interests and safety, he was already ready to take action.
Because in his opinion, the establishment of this department is the one that can best integrate with the people.
