As the capital of Fengzhou, Changfeng Prefecture is not as prosperous as the people of Lu County, but it is a gathering place for big people.Most of the powerful people in the whole of Toyoshu live here.Relatives and friends of county governors and state officials have a large number of fields and shops here.Sect families also gather here, and there are as many as 20 sect families that control the livelihood of the people, such as gold and iron, grain and salt, cloth, and coal.Each one is a large clan and a wealthy family that has lasted for thousands of years.In terms of force, it is not weak, only in this Changfeng Mansion City, there are six people with the best interior.In any other county, this is almost impossible to happen.After all, there are no big clans with the surname Qiwang in Fengzhou, and there are no leading sects like Daoyi Palace and Baolin Zen Temple, and there are very few top-level characters in the interior, and there will be no more than twenty of them.Now, there are six in this one city alone, and if you look at the entire Changfeng Prefecture, I'm afraid there will be no less than ten!
These people are the largest land snakes in Changfeng Mansion City, and even in the entire Changfeng Prefecture Mansion.It's not easy to deal with them.Even if Cui Heng succeeded as the pastor of Fengzhou, it would be extremely difficult to suppress these people head-on with his power.Therefore, after Huishi came to Changfeng Mansion City in advance, he chose the simplest, most direct, but most effective method.Kill!
He had in his hand the list of the magnates of the prefecture, which he wanted from Wu Yin, and after coming here, he immediately went door to door to find it.Inquire directly.Anyone who disrespects the new envoy will be killed on the spot!
The current Hui Shi has been promoted to the level of interior by Cui Heng due to his meritorious contribution to the implementation of the new decree in various counties of Lu County.Even if you don't count the runes of the "Heavenly Dragon Great Mighty Bodhisattva Fist", such martial arts are already the best in the world.It is naturally more convenient to take care of these powerful people.At first, when Hui Shi first started, there were many rebels, and there were even big clans that gathered private soldiers, and the sect asked disciples to form a team to besiege and kill Hui Shi.But as Hui Shi killed more and more, and killed more and more ruthlessly, these magnates in Changfeng Mansion City did not resist much.Others even changed their attitude directly.As long as he saw Hui Shi coming to the door, he immediately said that he would definitely welcome the new envoy to his post, and there would be absolutely no complaints.Of course, it's not enough to just kill and be afraid to be subdued.After suppressing these powerful people in all directions, Hui Shi began to show his best ability when pushing administrative orders in the counties of Lu County - copying families and dividing land!
The ordinary people in the city of Changfeng Mansion who have been oppressed by the powerful and wealthy families and businessmen for a long time all cheered.In addition, when he returned to Huishi to divide the land, it would be explained that this was a decree issued by the new envoy, so that all the people would have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.This immediately made the hearts of the people of the entire Changfeng Mansion City fall for it.Therefore, when Cui Heng led everyone to the gate of Changfeng Prefecture, he saw hundreds of people coming to greet him with joy.It's not an arrangement from anyone.The people of the city came spontaneously to greet them."
Before the envoy entered the city, he was already loved by so many people, and Fengzhou can be governed!"
Wu Yin said with some excitement, he has been a driver here for many years, and he has never seen people welcome a person like this."
This is just the beginning."
Cui Heng bowed his head lightly and said with a smile, "Go, follow me into the city!"
”…… After being beaten by Huishi's iron fist, these local snakes in Changfeng Prefecture are much more honest.And after Cao Quan's death before, Wu Yin, a different driver, has begun to govern the people's livelihood.Therefore, after Cui Heng entered the city to take up his post this time, he did not encounter a lot of tricky things as soon as he arrived as soon as he went to Juhe County and Lu County.However, after taking control of the financial and military power of the entire Toyoshu, he discovered a serious problem.He wanted to rely on the whole of Fengzhou to implement a new decree to make the people love him, but the merchants of the family clan hated it, and then the plan to collect the seven emotions of all living beings was not perfect.Because, after the rebellion of King Yan, the people's livelihood in Fengzhou has withered to the extreme, except for a few counties, there is not much population left.State Shepherd's Office."
Yan thief and soldier disaster, it is so harmful?!"
Cui Heng looked at the information he had just gotten in his hand, and suddenly felt extremely speechless, "In the huge Fengzhou, only Lu County alone has accounted for three percent of the population!"
”Although he had long known the style of the Yan King's army, burning, killing and looting everywhere he passed, it was the first time he had seen the destruction of the entire Fengzhou from a macro perspective.This is the prerogative of the state pastor, and it is also the information that the state pastor has access to.Toyoshu has 12 prefectures.As the capital of a state, Changfeng Prefecture has gathered a large number of wealthy clans, and has not suffered military disasters, although the population is not as large as Lu County, but there are more than 1.1 million.Among the twelve counties, Lu County is the most prosperous and the most populous, with more than 1.3 million people.Xiling County, which is adjacent to Lu County, originally had more than 800,000 people, but now it has been killed by the Yan Wangjun bloodstream, ten households and nine empty, and the remaining population is less than 100,000.Yanshan County is the place where the Yan Wang Army started, and it is also the rear of the Yan Wang Army, which has been in operation for several years, and the people's livelihood should not be too bad.But Yanshan County was already barren, and there were only more than 500,000 people before the military disaster, and now there are 200,000 people left, which is very good.As for Hedong County, Hongyuan County, and Shimen County, they were also all plagued by Yan thieves, all industries withered, the people were struggling to make a living, and the population was also sharply reduced, adding up to more than 500,000 is a fortunate thing.In addition, it is Luo'an County and Changxing County.Although these two places have not suffered from the disaster of swallow thieves, the local Taishou is a wealthy family who only grasps military power, regardless of the people's livelihood, and a mixed eater waits for death to ignore military and political affairs all day long, and there is no good thing.Under this way of governance, Luo'an County and Changxing County are naturally a mess, countless people in each county are starving to death and freezing to death, and there are homeless beggars everywhere, and the total is estimated to be less than 600,000.Yunshu County is a border place, with a permanent population of less than 100,000, and there are no wealthy families, not even a few merchants, in such a place, there is actually not much difference whether to implement a new decree or not.When it is full, the population of the entire Toyoshu is at most four million.When Cui Heng saw this data, everyone was numb.How big is Toyoshu?
In terms of area alone, it is equivalent to one Shanxi Province and half of Hebei Province on the earth.Moreover, there is a lot of fertile soil, and there is a lot of land suitable for cultivation, so it is named Toyoshu.In such a large place, with such land conditions, there are only about four million people left.It's terrifying!
In fact, this is not so unusual in an ancient society full of wars.But for Cui Heng's cultivation, it is quite a tricky matter.In places like Hedong County and Xiling County, which have suffered serious military disasters, the new decree is of little use.Because the local wealthy clan has long been killed.Although Hongyuan County and Shimen County also suffered from military disasters, there are Dasheng Temple and Lotus Temple in these two places, and there are a lot of powerful landlords left, which can be used as the second batch of places to open the knife.But in any case, the total number of people is still too small.Even if the new decree is implemented throughout Toyosu, I am afraid that it will not be able to collect enough sentient beings to have seven emotions.In this case, it is necessary to radiate the decree to the surrounding area.Otherwise, there are not enough people.Moreover, this can also cause dissatisfaction among other states and counties.There's also a lot of emotional feedback.- The so-called surrounding area is actually the jurisdiction of neighboring states, and to put it bluntly, it is to expand the territory and population of Toyosu!
Bang!
Cui Heng closed these materials, his eyes closed slightly, and after pondering for a while, he opened his eyes to look at the people below, and suddenly said, "Huishi, Chen Tong obey orders." ”At this time, there were seven people standing in this inner hall: Zhang Shuming, Hui Shi, Liu Litao, Chen Tong, Xu Fengan, and Wu Yin.When Hui Shi and Chen Tong heard this, they immediately stood by.Cui Heng bowed his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "I ordered Huishi to be the governor of the seven counties, and he can temporarily act as the administrative and military authority of the seven counties of Lu County, Yanshan, Hongyuan, Shimen, Luo'an, and Changxing, and implement the new decree."
Ordered Chen to be a soldier Cao, and temporarily go to the counties and counties with Hui Shi to implement the new decree, so that soldiers can be recruited and an army can be formed, and if there are people who are oppressed in the border with other states, they can act cheaply and lead the troops to rescue them."
As soon as this order came out, everyone present knew what he meant.It's clear that it's going to conquer the city and expand the territory."
Yes!
Obey the orders of the envoy!
”Hui Shi and Chen Tong spoke in unison and gladly accepted the order.Liu Litao and Xu Fengan naturally have no objections, they have long been familiar with Cui Heng's style of doing things, as long as they decide on something, they will definitely complete it.As for Zhang Shuming, he already regarded Cui Heng as a heavenly monarch.Tianjun naturally does whatever he wants.Don't say it's in the lower realm, even if it's the upper realm."
Envoy, are you in a hurry?"
Wu Yin was a little worried, and stepped forward to persuade him, "The lower official knows that you want to practice the things of Datong and benefit the people of the world, this is a good deed.""
But if you rashly carry out such a drastic policy, and also seize the places of other states and counties for reform, I am afraid that it will cause a crazy counterattack by all the sect families in the world."
Three hundred years ago, King Hongwu killed all the gods in the world, swept away the family sects, almost unified the world, and recreated the world, but suddenly disappeared when he was about to succeed, which is absolutely indispensable to the help of the Upper Realm Immortal Buddha."
Envoy, now that the hundred-year period is approaching, there will be an Immortal Buddha in the upper realm coming, if you make you too hasty, there will be an immortal Buddha in the upper realm to intervene, I am afraid that it will add a lot of suffering, please make you think twice.""
Haha, the situation that Wu Beijia said is exactly what I want."
Cui Heng laughed when he heard this, and said with his jaw bowed, "With me pushing the executive order like this, those sect families who fought back against Hongwu would indeed jump out.""
Moreover, in two months, the Immortal Buddha of the Upper Realm will descend, and after discovering the decree I have implemented, the person who made the attack on Hongwu in the first place will not be able to hold back."
At that time, it is time to catch them all and settle them together!"
How much of my investigation is that gone?"
Why not?"
