No matter how chaotic Yuezhou is, the news has not reached Ezhou for the time being.
Of course, even if it spread to Ezhou, Song Yang would not know about it for the time being.
Because Wang Ran left Ezhou with the Ezhou leadership team.
They are going to Jiangzhou to meet Song Yang.
Unexpectedly, it happened to coincide with a great victory in Jiangzhou Prefecture.
It has been almost twenty days since Yu Ming and Ma Cheng went to Ezhou.
The situation in Ezhou has basically stabilized.
Wang Ran sent a letter to Song Yang a while ago, saying that he wanted to bring many officials to visit him recently.
Song Yang was certainly right.
Since he took control of Ezhou, he has never seen officials at all levels in Ezhou.
I just didn't expect that they would arrive today.
"How is this going?"
Wang Ran looked puzzled as the Fuxing Army escorted the prisoners to register.
He didn't know that the rogue bandits were harassing Jiangzhou, and it was purely a coincidence that they happened to do so.
When Fang Zhe explained the matter, Wang Ran was filled with emotion again and said that he envied Qiao Jinglong for being able to lead troops to fight against the bandits.
Both are civil servants, but De'an is not a pure scholar.
Qiao Jinglong and Wang Ran are both good at fists and kicks, so it's no problem to lead troops on an expedition.
"Jiangzhou is so prosperous in military power!"
Several people behind Wang Ran sighed with emotion.
Only then did he react and went to introduce Fang Zhe.
It turned out that those who came with Wang Ran this time were Ezhou Notice Xue Jing, Tongshan County Magistrate Xue Li, Puqi County Magistrate Zhou Kun, Tongcheng County Magistrate Zhang Gaoyuan, Huangshi County Magistrate Wei Guan, Ezhou County Magistrate Liu Boyang, Jiayu
County magistrate Xue Yuanshan.
Speaking of Jiayu, Yu Ming mentioned Jiayu's situation to Song Yang when he came back.
Song Yang immediately decided to keep Jiayu.
Jiayu must be preserved as the gateway to Ezhou guarding the Yangtze River.
Now that Jiangxia is soaked in water, Jiayu is an important stronghold upstream.
So Song Yang had people send Jiayu some supplies that they were in short supply, and also sent them more than a thousand able-bodied refugees.
…
This time all the county supervisors in Ezhou came together to meet their new master.
"Xue Jing, Xue Jing... pays homage to the prince!"
Fang Zhe led the crowd to see Song Yang.
Song Yang was currently visiting the wounded soldiers at Lu Jimin's hospital.
Although the suppression of the rogue bandits was a complete victory, three Renaissance soldiers were killed and more than twenty others were injured.
Among the three people who died, one accidentally fell into the water and drowned, and the other two were injured by the bandits when they were chasing the bandits.
The two dozen injured were also injured because of this.
However, the injuries were not too serious, and after Lu Jimin's treatment, they were no longer serious.
After meeting everyone outside the hospital, Song Yang smiled and said to everyone:
"Everyone, get up."
"You guys arrived quickly. Last time I received Mr. Wang's letter, I thought you wouldn't arrive until mid-August."
Wang Ran clasped his fists and said, "All the adults in Ezhou are eager to listen to the prince's teachings, so they were already well prepared when I sent the letter last time."
"Let's go. Let's talk in the conference room."
Song Yang led everyone through the streets and alleys, all the way east to the two-story bamboo building where the Jiangzhou meeting was held.
The Bamboo Building is currently the construction area of the new pier and will serve as the office of the new pier in the future.
But now it is a comprehensive conference room.
Everyone sat down. This was the first time for Ezhou officials to hold such a meeting.
Being on an equal footing with the prince, everyone is still a bit on pins and needles.
Wang Ran explained to them for a long time before they understood.
It turns out that this method of holding meetings is a Jiangzhou specialty.
"Xiaoguan Xue Jing, a native of Ezhou..."
After sitting down, starting from Xue Jing, the Ezhou officials began to introduce themselves.
Just like the previous meeting, we talked in a circle and everyone had a chance to speak.
Only then did Song Yang wake up to the fact that there were so many Xue family members in Ezhou officialdom.
There are a total of seven local officials and three Xue family members.
The two county magistrates of Puqi and Tongcheng were promoted by local officials, one was appointed by the chief registrar and the other was appointed by the county magistrate.
Song Yang didn't pay much attention to Ezhou's officialdom.
As long as you are committed to doing something great, you are a good comrade.
After introducing themselves, each county began to report on the situation.
Needless to say, Yangxin, Ezhou County and Huangshi County were the second batch to stabilize the situation.
The reconstruction work in these two counties is now on track.
Among them, Ezhou County has quite abundant grain reserves, which can also supply Huangshi consumption.
Jiayu currently has a population of more than 3,000, most of whom are young and strong.
Song Yang didn't let them rebuild either.
They concentrated in the city and built Jiayu into the Yangtze River fortress bridgehead of Ezhou and Jiangzhou.
Of course, it will also serve as a transfer station for China Unicom to Fengzhou in the future.
Xue Li was in charge of Tongshan, which was relatively stable in the first place.
Moreover, the food and grass are still sufficient, the scourge of rogue bandits has been eliminated, and the situation has been completely stabilized.
Half of the dispersed bandits were captured and half escaped, so they could no longer cause any harm.
As for Tongcheng and Puqi counties, each has a population of seven to eight thousand people, but there is not much food and grass.
It needs to be transported from Yangxin, Tongshan and Jiayu.
The current situation is that after the earthquake, land transportation compensation and food supply are difficult.
Therefore, Wang Ran moved 2,000 people from Tongcheng and Puqi counties each and resettled them all in the ruined Chongyang.
In this way, Chongyang can be considered successfully rebuilt.
Another advantage is that the land route from Chongyang to Tongshan is relatively easy to travel.
The grain and grass from Yangxin and Tongshan can be transported by land to Chongyang, and then transported by water from Chongyang to Tongcheng and Puqi.
After talking about the basic situation, each county came up with some more difficult issues to decide.
For example, if Jiayu is built as a satellite city, can it be given more weapons, especially bows and arrows?
Song Yang immediately approved this.
At the same time, it was decided to turn Jiayu into a more complete military fortress and evacuate all the old, weak, women and children, leaving only 500 revival troops and 2,000 civilians.
The people who evacuated from Jiayu were resettled in Ezhou County, and the Jiayu garrison was rotated every other month.
The problem in Chongyang County is that the county governance has just been established and is not yet stable, so it needs a large supply of materials.
The final solution was that in addition to food, other materials would be supported by Puqi and Tongcheng water transportation.
The current acting county magistrate of Chongyang is Xue Li, and the county government was temporarily under military control when it was first established.
Wait until the situation is stable and then select a local county magistrate.
These matters are not big things, and with Wang Ran here, they are all handled smoothly.
Generally speaking, after adjustments, the counties in Ezhou have become stable.
"My lords, you have done a very good job. I am very relieved to have you here in Ezhou."
"I will not emphasize the various measures for reconstruction and emergency situations here. If you don't understand anything, I will discuss it with Mr. Fang after the meeting."
"The training of the Renaissance Army must begin as soon as possible. Mr. Yu will dispatch instructors to each county. I hope you will actively cooperate."
"This year is destined to be a difficult year, and you still need to work together to lead the people through the difficulties."
He didn't say too many words of encouragement. After a month of hard work, officials at all levels in Ezhou have gradually gotten into shape.
With Wang Ran watching over him, there will be no chaos in Ezhou.
"The lower officials should do their best to be loyal to the prince and work for the benefit of the people." Wang Ran was the first to set an example.
Everyone also learned to express their determination.
This kind of meeting is extremely efficient. Whoever has something to say has something to say, and those who can decide can be decided immediately.
