Chapter 117: Initial Results

Reform will inevitably hurt the interests of some people, but these people are only a small number of people. So what if their interests are sacrificed? This legion cleared the evil people day and night in the entire Huaxia City, closed the gambling houses, and put the money into the main city's treasury, and implemented a new tax-free policy, which welcomed people's unanimous praise.

This was the case for several days, and it also showed initial results. The customs of the whole city returned to simplicity. People began to work from sunrise to rest from sunset.

Qing Cang listened to everyone's reports in the meeting hall.

Zhang Liao said: "The spies have returned. At this time, the large army has half a day to go to the city."

He was referring to the escort brigade of Lin Meng and others. The more time it was, the more vigilant he had to stay there. So Qing Cang ordered Zhang Liao and said, "Captain Zhang, I'll take you two thousand elite soldiers to pick you up. I didn't expect anything wrong at this time."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Liao naturally went to count the elite troops and headed south.

Wang Zongweihui reported: "Commander, the moat has been completed, and a section outside the south gate has been left. It can be completed just by attracting the mountain spring into the canal. The suspension bridge will be completed after these days of construction."

The gate to the south of the city has been repaired long ago, with many people and great strength. During this period, the blacksmiths in the city were transferred to complete the work. During this period, overtime was worked.

"Very good. Just wait for our army of food and grass to return, and you can lead the mountain spring into the canal. The things you talked about that day must be completed step by step."

"Yes, Commander. Because the urn city and the crossbow turret require a lot of stones, people have been sent to the nearby stone mines to obtain stones. The construction period will be longer, and it will take about a month. During this period, it is still strengthening things like the city gate. The crossbow turrets and other things need to be made. I have asked someone to pick up Xu Dezhi and ask him to bring his people over to help us complete this reinforced spring."

"You've done a good job, I've worked hard recently and you've taken more responsibility."

During this period, Liao Bao did not attack again. After losing 3,000 people, his vitality was severely damaged and he needed additional supplies. He did not pull out this nail and could not sleep or eat. When necessary, he wanted to drive the army to Quyang and take over his city. But now, the first priority is to manage his Huaxia City well, and when it reaches prosperity, it will be the day to go to war.

Speaking of management, Wu Chaojing also came out to report: "Commander, you have used your method these days to recruit more than 2,000 new recruits. The effect on the first day is the most obvious, and the next few days will be in a decreasing form."

This was originally Cao Chen's business, but because he was not here, Wu Chaojing was responsible first, after all, he had to cooperate with his other work.

Qing Cang thought that it was probably the limit to recruit 2,000 people. One percent of the enrollment rate was considered high. After all, there were not many young people, and the young people in the whole city were basically grown up by children in the past few years.

"Arranging 2,000 people first, and when they come back, they will divide their troops and train them."

Speaking of this, Wu Chaojing thought of something. "In the past few days, he cleared the evil people, closed the casino and other cars of treasures, and added the original inventory in the city, I calculated that if there was no war, it could support ten years of expenses for 100,000 people. The food could be provided for 100,000 people for three years."

He only counted the army, and did not count the expenses of daily construction of civil engineering. In fact, it might be less. But then again, wealth has been growing. In three years, taxes can provide a balance of income and expenditure. After all, it cannot be long-term to take it from the people and use it for the people. This requires a virtuous cycle to govern Chang'an for a long time.

"Then clear these people. If you don't listen with persuasion, you will cut them down directly. Huaxia City does not need such people who don't listen!"

"Yes! Also, new taxes are implemented, policies such as purchasing deposits, reclaiming wasteland rewards, opening free clinics, and sending people to spread the news. There has been a population return in the past few days. I believe that the highest value will be reached in the next few months, and the population of Huaxia City will definitely show an explosive growth."

All this is indeed as Qing Cang imagined. As long as there are enough interests, these people will be forced to enter the city even if they are squeezed out. Moreover, this place is absolutely safe and has a fatal attraction to people.

"Very good. I have another idea. I want to build a military academy to teach the poor to read and teach them strategies. You can arrange this matter. I hope that some good seedlings can be selected every year and arranged them in various regiments to supplement the dilemma of talent shortage."

After several days of thinking, he still expressed his thoughts. As for who will be the teacher, that will happen in the future.

"Yes, don't worry about this, I will definitely arrange it well."

Wu Chaojing can handle things that Qing Cang has always arranged very well.

"Okay, you guys are busy. I'm bored here during this period. I'll be so tired of me. I'll go out for a walk."

"This is an extraordinary period, and I'm afraid there will be dangers when I go out!"

The opposition forces still exist. If they have bad intentions, then Qing Cang may be injured. However, he made a complete ak47 and the saber. He laughed and said, "How is my force? How is my ak47?"

After saying this, Wu Chaojing stopped talking about anything, and the situation on that day was still vivid in my mind. Qing Cang used his own strength to force the Yellow Turbans to retreat, which has become a legend.

He said he was going out for a walk, but he just went to the nearby slums. He changed his clothes and a hat, trying to keep a low profile. At the same time, he brought only three people at any time.

He walked through several streets and saw more of a prosperous scene. Everyone he saw here was smiling, coming and going in a hurry, fearing that time would be too fast and not enough.

Now, he found a teahouse to have tea. A group of four sat in the teahouse, listening to people talking about beauty, which was very comfortable. This kind of life was what he dreamed of before. Since he became a special forces soldier, he always had to shoulder national honors and contribute all his time. He left himself not much time, and of course he could not enjoy this comfortable life.

The three people who were walking with him dared not speak, just drank tea, but because the big knife in his hand was too eye-catching, it attracted some bad eyes.

In fact, there were a few strong men in black clothes staring at the ak47 behind Qing Cang.

Some chatter from people came to my ears.

"I heard that the new city lord's surname is Qing. I have never heard of this surname. Some people say it is a surname passed down from ancient prominence, and it cannot be owned by non-monarchs and nobles."

"It is possible, otherwise it would not have occupied Huaxia City so strongly. I offended many Huaxia City gangs for this, and I really sweated for him."

"What are you afraid of? He has a strong army. What big things can those gangs accomplish?" "He is indeed a person who does big things. I have made more money these days than I have earned in a year. It is all the money brought by policy dividends."

"No, why are there any free medical treatment for the poor? From now on, the poor will never have to spend a penny to see a doctor. I have written letters to ask my relatives and friends to come here to develop."

"If you don't write a letter, they will come after hearing it. My neighbor, the one named Lin, has moved away for five years, and the house is vacant and dilapidated. But yesterday I actually encountered him repairing the house again, saying that he came here to reclaim wasteland and make a lot of money. He also said that three years of tax exemption, such a good policy, can even make money."

"I think he will accomplish great things in the future."

"I'm afraid the Black Mountain Army will come to harass again."

"What are you afraid of? You have never seen Lord Qing force a 1,500 army to retreat with 1,500 troops. Now their army should be nearly 8,000, right? In this ratio, even if the 50,000 army attacks, I guess it will be disappointed, right?"

Qing Cang listened to people's affirmation of it and praised it, thinking that these policies were correct.
