The sun rises slowly.
It illuminates half of Cheng'an.
It was quiet in Cheng'an, with a few dogs barking and smoke slowly rising from the kitchen.
"Dang~~"
Some officials were beating gold gongs and shouting at the top of their voices: "The county government has an order! Pardon all the dead in the county!"
"The county government has issued an order to pardon all the dead in the county!"
Two officials were walking on the road one behind the other. One was beating a gong, and the other was holding a wooden board. They were walking swaying on the street and shouting loudly.
They kept shouting all the way, and the people blocked the door alertly and looked out cautiously.
The little baby watched these little officials pass by through the crack of the door, and he was overjoyed.
"Uncle! Uncle! They said they wanted to pardon the dead!"
"Then cousin doesn't have to hide anymore?"
Wang Heipi was sitting in the house, putting a wooden board on his lap and polishing it continuously. When he heard the baby's words, his face was full of disdain, "Oh, when have these idiots ever kept their word? It's said to be a pardon, but in fact
It’s just a lie.”
"It's not like this has happened in the past. If you really go to find them, you will be caught and executed by them as a political achievement."
"It's been years, but there's still nothing new, just the same old tricks!"
Wang Heipi cursed and continued what he was doing.
There are many officials in the city, not just the two people just now, there are scattered officials from all over the place shouting along the road.
There are also petty officials riding horses out of the city. They want to go to various places to convey the new orders of the county government.
Wooden signs were erected in many places inside and outside Cheng'an, which explained the county government's new policies. Special officials were also arranged at city gates and other places to receive the deceased who came.
Early this morning, Gao Changgong summoned several officials from the county government. He no longer bothered with the Murong family's affairs. He decided to complete what he had wanted to do for a long time, and the entire county government began to work hard.
Gao Changgong sent people to take back the cultivated land of Murong's family, pardoned his family's tenants, and also pardoned the ministers and deceased people inside and outside the city. He decided to grant them land and let them invest in local agricultural production.
All the officials in Cheng'an are very busy, including Liu Taozi, who is also busy maintaining order at this moment. A large number of dead people and ministers are about to appear inside and outside the city, and some officials are worried that this will affect public order.
Taozi needs to take people to various villages to contact the local officials responsible for public security to ensure that these people will not kill the deceased who comes to report his identity. At the same time, he must also guard against bandits who commit plunder in the name of surrendering.
Although this place is at the feet of the Emperor, there are not many thieves.
Now, there were thirteen bandits standing in front of Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi rides a green lion. The green lion is huge and its muscles all over its body show its strength. The tall Taozi riding it makes Taozi look even more majestic.
At this moment, he was in front of the ruins of a village. This was a village that had been abandoned a long time ago. It was located next to an intersection. There were a few charred ruins on the dark land, which could hide people. They had always been
It is a key investigation location for patrol patrols.
Tian Zili and Yao Xiong were riding behind him.
When more than ten people jumped out to block the road, Yao Xiong almost attacked them, but Tian Zili blocked him.
Tian Zili got off his horse and hurriedly shouted to these people: "You haven't paid homage to Liu Gong yet?!"
Everyone hurriedly saluted Liu Taozi.
"Let's meet Liu Gong!!"
Tian Zili hurriedly said: "Lord, these are my brothers. They are all good people in the city and they are good people. They have suffered various injustices and therefore fled the county. They will never rob the people.
, they are all going to snatch the legs of those Murong family members."
Tian Zili hurriedly introduced them one by one to Liu Taozi. During the introduction, he would even introduce the other person's father and grandfather to show Taozi that they were originally from good families.
Of course, Tian Zili will also inform Liu Taozi of their misfortune.
Liu Taozi looked at them one by one, and Tian Zili said: "Brother Taozi, this time the temple pardons the dead, I want them all to go to Zhangcun to surrender, and they can settle in Zhangcun in the future. If you have the opportunity in the future,
Whatever orders are given, they can execute them promptly."
Yao Xiong stood aside, still holding the knife, his whole body was shocked.
Brother Tian is actually a bandit leader??
Gao Changgong looked at the political strategy book in his hand, his face beaming with joy.
Although a lot of things happened during these days, at least my goal was achieved.
After eliminating the biggest obstacle to the Murong family, everything went so smoothly, and there was no longer any resistance. The Murong family made Cheng'an County a fortune just by recording cultivated land, minerals, and pastures.
There are industries that are not recorded.
Cheng'an, who was previously strapped for money, had little money, and had an empty treasury, now turned into a wealthy businessman.
Now that the county government has money and a large amount of public land, a large number of dead people will soon come to seek refuge. There may also be dead people from far away who learn about the news and come to seek refuge. At that time, Cheng'an's household registration will appear.
Explosive growth.
Gao Changgong fantasized about Cheng'an's bright future, his eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons.
This was his first time as an official. Although he made many mistakes, he also learned a lot.
I must cure Cheng'an myself
Gao Changgong was thinking about the next step when he saw Lu Qubing walking in with his head lowered and his expression was quite complicated.
"Jun Lu is here!"
"Sit down."
Gao Changgong let Lu Qubing sit next to him and hurriedly asked: "How's it going? What's the result today?"
Lu Qubing looked up at Gao Changgong, hesitated for a while, and said, "Fifteen dead people came to surrender today."
The smile on Gao Changgong's face froze, "Fifteen?"
"Yes. Two came from the county, and the other thirteen people surrendered in the countryside and went directly to Liu Youxi."
Gao Changgong was not discouraged. He asked curiously: "Liu Youjiao's popularity in Cheng'an is very high?"
Lu Qubing nodded.
"Very high. He has been known to have done harm to the people before. During these days, Youyou Mansion has not been idle. There are always people reporting to the official at Tian Zili's side, and they are also doing their best to solve it."
"The nursery rhyme in the city goes like this: Thieves do evil, mandrills eat evil thieves, and suppress evil evil."
Gao Changgong's eyes widened, "Has it come to this?"
He laughed again, "Okay, go and invite Mr. Mandrill over!"
"I have something to tell you!"
There are no traces of casual officials on the street.
The road was extremely quiet, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard slowly from the distance.
Although the sound of the horse's hooves was loud, it was not urgent. When they heard the sound of the horse's hooves, the people hurriedly ran away. The only people who could ride horses in the city, except the officials, were the powerful ones. In short, they were not good people.
Liu Taozi was riding a horse, neither too fast nor too slow. He glanced at Yao Xiong beside him.
Yao Xiong took a deep breath.
"The county government has an order!! Pardon the dead!!"
"The county government has an order!! Pardon the dead!!"
This guy had a loud voice, and the two of them just walked past.
They did not beat gongs, nor did they use the tone of government officials. They walked along the streets they usually patrolled, and the horses danced their hooves gracefully, moving forward unhurriedly with a certain rhythm.
The doll looked at the scene outside through the crack in the door, and suddenly ran into the house.
"Uncle! Uncle! The county government pardons the deceased."
"I heard it!"
Wang Heipi had a displeased look on his face. He squatted on the ground, tapping without stopping, "Didn't I tell you? I can't believe it."
"The person who shouted is the ghost man next to Mandrill, and Mandrill himself is also there."
Wang Heipi paused, stopped the hammer in his hand, looked up at him, "Liu Gong??"
He put down the things in his hands and walked quickly to the door. He took a peek and saw that the person walking away was really Liu Youjiu.
At this moment, Wang Heipi was overjoyed.
"My dear, come on, come on, take your things with you. I'll take you home first. I still have things to do. Maybe you can meet your cousin in the evening!"
"cousin!"
The doll's eyes lit up and she jumped for joy.
Carpenter Wang took the baby back to his home. There was no one in his home. After waiting for a long time, the old farmer finally returned home with a tired face. Seeing the two of them, the old farmer also had a smile on his face.
When the carpenter told the story, the old farmer couldn't help but laugh.
"Heipi, isn't this what the government has done a few times in the past? They say they are pardoned, but they are immediately killed when caught. They also talk about dividing the fields, but take back the mulberry fields as granted fields. How can you still believe it?"
"But Liu Youjiu is different. He is not such a villain! Don't forget, he even saved you!"
The old farmer pursed his lips, unable to refute.
"Oh, I hope so."
