After the war, there were still a large number of people from the Song Dynasty who had gone through hardships, bringing their elders and children. Most of these miserable people had been robbed by the Jin army, and now they are still looking forward to having enough food to eat with their families and living a peaceful life.
However, among the many people, many people fled from their hometowns in a hurry to avoid the war. Now they can still return to their hometowns. Of course, Xiao Tang also allowed these Song people to go and stay. However, the refugees who had homes to return could only
They are considered a minority, and some of the others have returned to their hometowns. I am afraid that their belongings have been robbed by the Jin people, and their fields and houses have been turned into a piece of white land. The homes of some others are still in the area under the rule of Liu Yu, the puppet Qi Dynasty. At present,
He did not want to go back and suffer from the tyranny again; there were still more people who had been robbed and enslaved by the Jin army. Not only were some of their family members brutally slaughtered, but they already had nothing but nowhere to go... Xiao Tang naturally also
They will make arrangements for their livelihood, and of course these displaced people are also willing to become subjects under the rule of Xiaotang's government.
At first, we only made rough statistics. They were plundered and enslaved one after another, and they had no food, clothing, or shelter unless they were helped by the rebel army. Therefore, the number of Song people who were in urgent need of resettlement reached 300,000 to 400,000. This was not even
It does not include the people in the city of Jeju, or even in several surrounding counties and towns, who need to appease the people after the war.
Among these people, some are from farmers, some are market people, and there are also merchants, officials, scholars, etc. who work in various professions to make a living. We teach them to live in peace and carry out their own industries one after another. It is also necessary to sort out these people and record them separately.
Households were borrowed to compile production records. Just building tents to settle down temporarily was not a long-term solution, and the rebel army was leaning on Zuoli. Although there were also people such as Zhu Dian, Lei Heng, Yang Xiong, Lin Ren, etc. who served as county government heads.
, the leader who was born at the Oshiyuan level maintains public security and order, but the manpower is quite insufficient. Xiao Tang also knows very well that although he has many talents under his command now, there are only a lot of upright generals who lead troops in war, Zuo Yi, who are good at managing civil affairs.
There is still a great shortage of state officials and wise ministers, as well as a large number of experienced subordinate staff.
In Baozhou, Liaodong, there is a combination of government officials composed of Wen Huanzhang, Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan, and Sun Ding to take care of civil affairs. While they are resisting on Jingdong Road and even the north of Hedong Road, the think tanks around them, Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui, can certainly temporarily block it alone.
On the one hand, it was only a temporary expedient. Xiao Tang said in his heart that he still needed these close advisers to follow him and continue to make plans northward.
The original subordinate officials of Jeju Prefecture were surrendered and fled after the Jin army captured them. Only one of them escaped. During this period, one piece of news that Xiao Tang paid attention to was: Pang Wanchun, Tang Bin and even Shuibo Liangshan's surprise attack.
When the counterattack troops recaptured the Jeju governorate, Liu Tang captured alive in the chaotic battle Wang Jin, who had been assigned by the Jeju government to supply the official army when Gao Qiu conquered Liangshan. Wang Jin, who later switched to the Jin army when Jeju fell, was captured alive.
, because he was angry with this guy for being vicious and slanderous, and fabricated many lies to slander and insult Shuibo Liangshan, Liu Tang also recruited a few people who had been killing people and licking blood for a long time when they were beaten in the green forest, and the green forest and grass were particularly strong.
At that time, Jun Jian did not bother to behead his fellow soldier to give him a happy death. Wang Jin, the "heart-gouging king", ended up being chopped up randomly with swords. I heard that he died an extremely miserable death.
Evil will be punished, and for slaves and beasts like Wang Jin who smeared Liangshan with some writings and betrayed the country for glory, it was too much to just cut him into pieces instead of disemboweling him and eating the meat and drinking soup.
....Xiao Tang simply turned a blind eye and didn't ask any more questions. In fact, Song Jiang, another subordinate official in the county government under Jeju's rule, was also known as a proficient swordsman and pen at the beginning.
Although he is only a subordinate official, Song Jiang has been serving as a prefect for a long time and is familiar with government affairs and local people's sentiments. His proficiency in laws and regulations and people's livelihood at the grassroots level is even better than that of many people who have just watched it for a few years.
It was also like a state official who was transferred to another post. But of course Xiao Tang would not entrust the important tasks of governing the people to Song Jiang, whom he did not trust.
At least not now.
Although Xiao Tang does not need to obey the court's will now, after all, the state officials with outstanding political achievements are almost all scholars who studied the books of sages and were loyal to the emperor. To this day, they will still be on the side of Xiao Tang who once betrayed the court.
However, if the war goes well in the future and the two roads in Hebei can be regained and they can take advantage of the opportunity to move north to capture the Yanyun land, they have already made other preparations after planning with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other confidants.
The shortage of civil servants in government will surely be solved. However, the issue of selecting suitable candidates who are good at handling the people's livelihood in the Jingdong Road area within the Song Dynasty is still urgent.
The various shacks built for relief inside and outside the Jeju government office have also shown their scale. First, they were handled by Xu Guanzhong and others, and then another area was allocated for farming on the fertile land in the surrounding countryside. Xiao Tang recruited capable people in the field of people's livelihood management
While he was still feeling a bit of a headache, four more people came one after another. After being introduced by the leader, they first informed Xiao Tang of the identity and intention of the visitor.
However, when Xiao Tang heard the names of two of them, he immediately beamed with joy and said: "If these two people come to vote sincerely, they will definitely become the most suitable candidates to take care of the people's livelihood in the restoration of the prefecture under Jingdong Road."

In the reception room of the government office of Jeju, Xiao Tang first met two elegant and kind-hearted people wearing only coarse blue shirts who came to greet the guests. When one of them came, he was the same as Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, the two county government officials.
The leader who was born is particularly close to him, and when he arrived at the Jeju government office again, he couldn't help saying with emotion: "At this time, I still reported to the magistrate and the prime minister about the county's civil affairs. Unexpectedly, I came back to the old place after many years. I was lucky to have to take a ride to meet the people of Jeju Province.
Xiao Shuai, who is in the midst of fire and water, is also Xiao Ke’s lifelong blessing..."
Xiao Tang was also very familiar with this person, because he was the magistrate of Yuncheng County at that time, and Song Jiang, Lei Heng, and Zhu Tong all worked under him as Shi Wenbin.
Xiao Tang also remembered that in the original Water Margin, where there were more corrupt officials and fewer good officials, Wenbin gave him a very high evaluation when he appeared. He once made it clear that he was an upright official and acted with integrity. Every time he had compassion,
Always have benevolent thoughts. When fighting for land and land, argue the merits and then implement them; fight and fight, and judge the severity before making a decision. When you are playing the harp and visiting guests in your spare time, you should also be aware of the people's feelings. Although the county governs the ministers and officials, they are the parents of the people.
However, Shi Wenbin also seemed to be the kind of person who was strict and rigid in everything he did. He did not only follow the law, but was too upright. He seemed to be ineffective in managing his subordinates. When the birthday card incident happened, Shi Wenbin sent the county captain and
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng went to arrest them, but they still taught Chao Gai and others to escape. Song Jiang furiously killed Yan Poxi and temporarily hid in the Song Taigong's house. Zhu Tong and Lei Heng went to arrest them again, but still found nothing. At this time, Wen Bin successively
None of them were held accountable... It would be wrong to say that he was ignorant in his management. At that time, Wang Lun, a bandit in Liangshan, Shuibo, gathered in several prefectural capitals, including Jeju, to rob. The other prefectural and county governments did not do anything, but Shi Wenbin made it clear.
The thieves and thieves resisted the enemy's officers and soldiers. They were also afraid that thieves were rampant and there were many villains in the villages, so they ordered Lei Heng and Zhu Tong to go on patrol. If there were thieves, they would be immediately suppressed by Shen Jie. The villagers were not to be disturbed, and they were also ordered to take the east.
A few pieces of the big red leaf tree on Xicun Mountain were collected and submitted to the county to check whether the county government officials were lazy and vain.
As for Song Jiang, who had always had a close friendship with him, Shi Wenbin deliberately made the murder case a light case, obviously intending to protect him (the original article even expressly stated that Shi Wenbin knew that Tang Niu'er, who helped Song Jiang escape, was unaware of it, but he wanted to save Song Jiang and only wanted to protect Song Jiang.
He came to investigate, which can be said to be a stain on him). It seems to be consistent with the fact that he was an upright and honest official in the past. He handled civil disputes or murder cases and other lawsuits by distinguishing the right from wrong and handling them impartially, and he deserved to be a party.
The high praise from common people, parents and officials is very contradictory...
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Shi Wenbin, who can be said to be clean and self-sufficient in fubài official circles, is also somewhat similar to his subordinate Zhu Ding. In terms of human kindness and loyalty, once it involves one of the people in his eyes, whether it is Shi Wenbin or Zhu Ding at that time,
In terms of his identity, it is true that he is not free from abuse of power.
However, as long as he is not an overly strong, upright but extreme official like Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, Shi Wenbin and another person whose deeds are somewhat consistent with him will also be of great use in governing civil affairs in Xiao Tang's opinion.
It was often much easier for Song Tingzhou officials to recruit these people to help them.
