Lu Zhishen took over the government affairs of Qingzhou with the formal general, appointed Zhu Wu as the chief officer, Jiang Jing as the chief minister, Cao Zheng as the household chief, Lin Chong as the military chief, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Qin Ming, Hua Rong and others as the lieutenants to help coordinate military affairs.

As soon as the appointment was issued, Zhu Wu said, "The General should know that Qingzhou has always been famous in the world, with abundant resources and benefits of salt and iron. Murong Magistrate had just died, and the court is not clear about the situation here. His subordinates believed that the General should send troops to capture the rest of Qingzhou's county, but he was afraid that he could easily take it with a document. According to his subordinates, the news that the General would capture Qingzhou Prefecture within these days is still unknown to the outside world. Therefore, it is not advisable to delay the matter. The General should send troops to conquer the counties quickly, and the enemy would not be prepared."

After pondering for a while, Lu Zhi made up his mind and said resolutely: "Brother Zhu Wu's words are reasonable. You should capture the counties in Qingzhou as soon as possible. I will send troops and horses to attack the counties... Brother Zhu Wu thought how many people would be needed to attack a county?"

Zhu Wu smiled slightly and said, "We are all aware of the situation in each county. With the elite of our troops, three or five hundred people are more than enough."

As Zhu Wu said, without Lin Chong and others leading the troops, Chen Da, Yang Chun and others led three to five hundred people, and with documents covered with the prefecture seal of Qingzhou magistrate, they could easily capture the other counties in Qingzhou.

Every time a county town is occupied, a notice will be posted immediately. The people are announced: Huiming's Living Buddha committed suicide and martyrdom! In order to uphold the remaining wishes of the Living Buddha, Master Zhishen of Baozhu Temple wants to return to the secular world to become a general, kill the six thieves, clear the king's side, and eliminate corrupt officials in the world!

Seeing the notice, the people of Qingzhou were in an uproar and sighed at the same time.

The respect for the living Buddha and the sympathy for the temple Zhishen made the people of Qingzhou not resist Lu Zhishen.

This played a great role in Lu Zhishen’s easy stability in Qingzhou.

After taking Qingzhou and getting the household registration, Jiang Jing first verified the population and registered it. Then, according to the situation of young and strong people in Qingzhou and the labor needed by various factories and construction sites, he posted notices to recruit young and strong people to work. He tried to restore the stability and prosperity of Qingzhou as soon as possible.

If in other prefectures and counties, a large amount of land is in the hands of wealthy families, if Lu Zhishen wants to maintain stability, he will have to give some benefits to those noble families. However, in Qingzhou, Lu Zhishen does not need to pay much attention to it.

To be joking, in recent years, the factories and construction sites in Qingzhou have been jointly funded by Baozhu Temple, Longshan Restaurant and those noble families. If Lu Zhishen is angered.

If you directly grab the money, all the money from those noble families would be gone.

That aristocratic family dares to talk too much!

The matters in Qingzhou's people's livelihood are proceeding in an orderly manner under Jiang Jing's calculations, and Lu Zhishen does not need to worry much about this.

What Lu Zhishen really needs to care about is the military affairs aspect.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun!

If Lu Zhishen wants to save his life and territory, the army is the most important thing.

The banner has been officially launched, and in the past, it is no longer necessary to cover up the situation.

After attacking Qingzhou, the monks and guarding villas were united as one army.

Among them, there were more than 7,000 soldiers following from Erlong Mountain, and 2,000 former Song soldiers who captured Qingzhou.

Among them, 40% are elderly people over 60 and children under 14, and about 800 people. These people are not very capable of combat. If they go to the battlefield in the future, they will hardly help. There are only nearly 1,600 officers and soldiers who truly have certain combat effectiveness. However, many of them are **, and Lu Zhishen dare not use it, for fear that they will ruin the morale of Erlong Mountain.

In order to avoid this situation, Lu Zhishen, Zhu Wu, Lin Chong and others discussed and simply organized more than 1,600 officers and soldiers into a military force, specifically responsible for the safety of factories and other places, similar to the security guards in later generations. This army did not need to go to war, and on weekdays they mainly looked at the security of factories and construction sites.

After the reorganization of the army was completed, what we had to do next was to conduct strict and systematic training of the newly formed soldiers, and at the same time formulate a new handsome military flag to distinguish them.

Originally, the factories in Qingzhou were related to Erlongshan. With Lu Zhishen's order, the factory quickly changed production and quickly created a large number of weapons and armor. Because of the many sensitive weapons that were avoided, they have now let go of their hands and vigorously produced them!

There are many trivial matters in the reorganization of the army, but Lu Zhishen does not need to worry about it.

The problem that caused Lu Zhishen's headache was the lack of a large number of officials. After Lu Zhishen captured Qingzhou, many officials were afraid of the court's counterattack. They would be implicated by the front and would be deceiving to take office.

The lack of talents makes Lu Zhishen very difficult. Although he can promote some small stories, it is just a drop in the bucket.

In desperation, Lu Zhishen could only issue the "Seeking for Talents" and "Search for Talents" in the name of a general, and sought talents in Qingzhou and nearby areas.

However, although Lu Zhishen is famous, he has just put forward the banner. Many people who are ambitious or dislike the Song Dynasty court dare not rashly put the bet on Lu Zhishen. Many people are still waiting and watching.

Lu Zhishen's recruitment effect was not ideal, and those from aristocratic families were even more unwilling to defect to him.

Those who come to surrender are all those who want to take advantage of the situation and make friends with tigers. How could Lu Zhishen take in such a person?

The lack of manpower required was not enough, and Lu Zhishen could only let the original officials work hard and double the work to make up for the gap in insufficient manpower.

In addition to the lack of manpower, the worse news is that the officers and soldiers sent by Lingzhou to arrest Lu Zhishen and others will be killed in two days.

For a time, the whole Qingzhou was concerned about what Lu Zhishen would do!
Chapter completed!
