After the situation in Qingcheng County calmed down, Su Qi'an's series of measures gradually restored the situation in the county that was originally panicked.
Not only that, the atmosphere in the county town was much more relaxed. The three orders issued by Su Qi'an were talked about by countless people in the streets and alleys of the county town.
The confiscated land was divided one by one to the civilians who had regained their freedom. Most of these lands were on the edges of the four urban areas of the county. Except for those suitable for farming, houses were gradually built on the others and road areas began to be divided.
As for the central area of the county, which is the most prosperous area, Su Qi'an did not make drastic improvements.
Most of the powerful people live here, but Su Qi'an did not touch them.
The development of some counties and cities is inseparable from them. Su Qi'an's so-called equality does not mean confiscation of all and an equalization system.
If this were to happen, Su Qi'an's management would not last long, and not all powerful people were guilty of heinous crimes.
Most people just follow the trend and see which direction it is going, and with decades of experience, their family culture is still much higher than that of the common people at the bottom.
For some things, they have to come forward, but this is not an indulgence or a privilege.
Although you live in the most prosperous area, you will also be subject to the strictest supervision.
After the county government was demolished, Su Qi'an moved the Yamen to the end of a street.
Once someone is killed in the palace of a powerful person, or if a servant in the palace is beaten or insulted, he can report it to the official as soon as possible.
Su Qi'an gave many powerful people the right to remain servants, but it did not mean that they had no human rights.
Once this happens, Su Qian will punish them unceremoniously.
As soon as this order was issued, some dignitaries and even local officials were a little dissatisfied, but they saw Dongshan Army soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time.
That dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.
The strength of the Dongshan Army is not to be said, but the chaos in the county this time can be clearly seen.
They are all a group of desperate masters who dare to fight against the state soldiers. If they really don't take Su Qi'an's orders seriously, if something goes wrong, these guys will not let them go.
Although the dignitaries were a little aggrieved by Su Qi'an's supervision, the county was indeed improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, the dilapidated roads have been filled in by local people. In the past, when wandering around the county, they would travel with guards, for fear that something would happen.
Some petty thefts could be seen everywhere in the previous counties and cities, and some even committed murders.
It can be said that the security in the county under the rule of Qingcheng County Governor is only better in the central area. In other places, the powerful and powerful people do not dare to go alone.
But after Su Qi'an took over, there hasn't been a single murder in the city because of wealth.
Walking in the county, even in the fringe areas, you can see patrolling soldiers almost everywhere.
Once something is discovered that endangers people's lives, patrol soldiers will immediately intervene to stop it.
Even if the victim is a powerful member of their family, these soldiers will treat them equally and will protect their lives.
What's even more rare is that after the crisis is resolved, these soldiers will not maliciously extort like the previous soldiers.
Even the money that is willing to be given to express gratitude will not be accepted. In Su Qi'an's words, as long as he lives in the county, no matter who he is, he is a citizen of the county and is treated equally, and the Dongshan Army has the discipline of the Dongshan Army.
The rich and powerful don't understand discipline. However, Su Qi'an can treat them as ordinary people in the city and will not deliberately belittle them because of their status. They will be treated equally.
This is something that no county guard can do, so Su Qi'an has achieved a balance between civilians and powerful people.
They had never seen such a soldier before, and they would sigh inadvertently, how this Su Qi'an perfectly embodied the bloody nature of fighting and the kindness to the people, these two completely different temperaments, into an army. This is really incredible. .
This is not only reflected in an army. The free people in the city can basically see their busy figures in the streets and alleys.
Not repairing
To build a road is to build a house, or to cultivate the land.
You should know that these things are basically free and there is no money for it.
They had done this kind of thing before, but at that time these people were slaves in the house.
If you let them beat and scold you, even if you get killed, it won't be a surprise.
But what they did was not only bad, but from time to time they would also trigger resistance and cause commotion.
But now, every one of them has a smile on their face.
There was a gleam in his eyes, a hope for the future that was unimaginable before.
In Su Qian's words, this is work. This work is not done for others, but for yourself.
Building a county requires everyone's hard work. Although they don't have money, they will have a sense of pride in their hearts.
In the county, people like them, who are at the lowest level, do the hardest work and are regarded as untouchables. Under Su Qi'an's governance, not only everyone gets the most basic human rights.
Su Qi'an would receive them from time to time and award them some county and city construction awards. Not only would they be given financial rewards, but they would also be given houses.
Moreover, some kind of commendation meeting will be held regularly, and they will be invited to give speeches.
This was unbelievable before. Not to mention these powerful officials at the top of society, even they themselves found it hard to imagine.
These untouchables, who are doing the most menial jobs, will still be respected sometimes, and even be regarded as some kind of role models, giving speeches in front of more than 10,000 people.
For them, this feeling is almost like a dream. Su Qi'an does not dislike them and vigorously promotes their fearless spirit.
This is spiritual satisfaction. They are no longer regarded as the most humble untouchables, but are the subjects of learning for the people in the county and city.
To them, Su Qi'an was not only a savior, but also a true confidant.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if they are exhausted at work, they have no complaints.
Everything that happens in the county affects the views of the rich and powerful almost all the time.
This feeling is so unreal, but it makes them miss this feeling very much.
Some wealthy and powerful people who watched the show and gloated about the misfortune, looked at the county and city that had undergone earth-shaking changes, and their hearts were also changing subtly.
The shock of the powerful and powerful people was all under Su Qi'an's control.
This is the effect he wants. Again, the development of the county cannot just rely on the people at the bottom or cling to the powerful.
To achieve a balance between the two, what Su Qian can do is to first improve the social status of the people at the bottom, strengthen cultural education, and eliminate illiteracy.
When dealing with the upper-class powerful people, you cannot cut them off at once and retain the rights that must belong to you.
But this kind of power must be monitored. Once it is exceeded and something extraordinary is done, Su Qi'an will deal with it unceremoniously.
This balance has a major premise: Su Qi'an must have enough force to frighten the entire county.
Only in this way, some people who want to cause trouble and cause trouble will not dare to take action.
This army followed him from Kyoto and fought all the way. There is also a strict system for the management of the army.
After experiencing the tragedy of the Xizhou Incident, Su Qi'an now has a strict set of systems to control the army and the people in the county and city.
Of course, Su Qi'an did not come up with these systems alone. They were inseparable from the advice of Huang Wenyan and Wu Yong.
Su Qi'an just used some systems of modern society to give the two of them some guidance and recreated the system based on the current situation in Da Liang.
Huang Wenyan and Wu Yong can be said to be Su Qi'an's right-hand men in managing the population territory.
Su Qi'an believes that as time goes by, these powerful and powerful people who have been impacted by the changes in front of us will sooner or later be integrated into the overall trend.
This was just the beginning. As the management deepened, it became really difficult for Su Qi'an to manage alone. He immediately ordered Wu Yong to be transferred from Tucheng County.
Along with him came a large number of preparatory management talents trained by Tucheng County.
As for Tucheng County, it already has a good foundation and will be managed by Huang Wenyan, so there will be no trouble for the time being.
The arrival of Wu Yong relieved a lot of pressure on Su Qian, but he still found that there was not enough manpower.
What is lacking this time is not management talent, but the strength of troops. He alone has 5,000 people, which is more than enough to manage a Tucheng County.
But when it was expanded to include the county and the vast territory of the high priest, these five thousand people were not enough.
Therefore, a month after the county was almost stable, Su Qian announced the expansion of the army.
But this time, Su Qian did not publicize the military expansion as publicly as before.
Instead, he did it secretly in private. After all, he was just a prince, and the maximum number of troops he could use was only 5,000.
Going up, according to the laws of Daliang, it is not allowed, even though he is located in Jiaozhou, far away from Kyoto.
But once the matter breaks out, think about it, will Zhou Mu Li Kang miss this opportunity and make some accusations that Su Qi'an intends to rebel?
Su Qi'an will not make trouble for himself.
Moreover, there is the Ninth Princess beside him. He wants to expand his army, and the Ninth Princess cannot escape from this level.
The Ninth Princess was not surprised by Su Qi'an's idea of expanding the army. As his territory grew larger, there were more and more things to guard against. Naturally, the few troops he had in hand were not enough.
The Ninth Princess had no intention of stopping it, but she gave Su Qi'an a suggestion.
The army can be expanded, but it is best not to do so in the name of the Dongshan Army.
The Ninth Princess's words were a hint, and Su Qian understood it immediately.
The expansion of the army cannot be done under the banner of Dongshan Army. To put it bluntly, there is no so-called army designation.
Just like the private soldiers in the palace of the powerful princes in Kyoto, they do this to avoid being caught and talked about in the future.
The Ninth Princess can agree, and she has her own thoughts. In the entire Great Liang, from the Duke and Marquis to the local governors and county guards, no one has private soldiers.
Who is clean? Since we can't prevent this from happening, we simply support Su Qi'an.
From now on, it would be worthwhile for Su Qi'an to help the royal family in times of crisis for the sake of being a member of the royal family.
