In the lobby of Muzhou Prefecture Government Office, under the black plaque "Gongming Lianwei", Li Xuan, wearing a purple python robe and a black seven-beam crown, sat behind the public case.
On the left is a yellow imperial edict, and on the right is a black-sheathed eight-sided Han sword.
Sitting there, Li Xuan was as majestic as a mountain, making people hold their breath.
Li Xuan's eyes passed over everyone.
The pressure of the imperial power made everyone lower their heads subconsciously.
Among these people were local squires, village chiefs, and some Muzhou bureaucrats who were lucky enough to survive to this day.
Some looked excited, and some looked panicked, as if someone was holding their lives.
"Everyone!"
Li Xuan's voice was not high-pitched, but very clear, and everyone present suddenly became solemn.
Li Xuan said calmly and calmly: "Since the Tianyin Sect's uprising and the fall of Muzhou, in less than a month, the imperial court has re-pacified Muzhou."
The voice paused slightly, but the breathing of everyone present immediately became heavier.
January time.
Too many things happened in Muzhou this month, many of which even the parties involved did not want to mention again.
Li Xuan saw through the anxiety in everyone's eyes at a glance, and said directly: "Although you have suffered hardships, you will ultimately be able to survive. I have the trust of Your Majesty, the central ministers, and Governor Duan to serve as the pacifier of Muzhou. I hope that I can To calm people's hearts in the short term, I ask for your full assistance."
Li Xuan's cold gaze swept across the faces of everyone present.
No one present dared to show any slightness. They raised their hands and said in unison: "I will definitely try my best."
Li Xuan nodded slowly, her eyes casual, but everyone present always felt as if something was pressing on their heads.
If it falls accidentally, it will directly kill someone.
"Although there are still remnants of the Tianyin Sect, they are of little importance. Duan Duan is leading the Kuaiji Mansion to clean up, and Qiu Changshi of Shezhou has also launched a pursuit from Shezhou. Under the attack from both front and rear, the defeat of the Tianyin Sect has been determined. Therefore, the most important thing now is To calm people's minds, step up autumn planting and ensure that this year's autumn harvest will not be affected. It is also because of this matter that I summoned you here today."
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone present was shocked at the same time.
The affairs of Tianyin Sect are the affairs of the military and have nothing to do with them.
All they need to do is to step up autumn planting and ensure autumn harvest.
Therefore, everyone immediately handed over and said, "Please ask the prince to make arrangements."
"First of all, we must rebuild the government office." Li Xuan raised her hand and pressed it on the governor's seal box nearby. The imperial edict was placed on it.
This action immediately attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Li Xuan continued to speak: "Muzhou was captured by the Tianyin Sect. Some of them have merit and some have fault."
Many people present could not help but change their expressions slightly.
"The former governor of Muzhou, Shigong, was imprisoned by the Tianyin Sect. Before the incident, he did not want to be used by the enemy and committed suicide. There will be pension appointments in the court soon." Li Xuan looked at these former Muzhou officials in front of him and sighed. He said loudly: "The imperial court has appointed a new governor of Muzhou, and he will take office soon."
Li Xuan said one sentence, and many people present looked excited.
But there were also many people who suddenly became nervous at this moment.
They are not ordinary people, so they naturally know that the mission of the King of Nanchang is to eliminate all hidden dangers before the new governor arrives.
The words of the King of Nanchang were meant for them.
After scanning everyone's expressions, Li Xuan continued: "The former Sima of Mu Prefecture, the former governor of Mu Prefecture, Shi Lu, and the army all died for the country. The court will subsidize their descendants and reward them with their merits."
"Thank you to the imperial court for your consideration!" Among the people present, many people looked a little sad for a moment.
Those who were completely opposed to the Tianyin Sect from the beginning would have a hard time escaping their massacre if they fell into the hands of the Tianyin Sect.
There are many such people.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the people in Muzhou in the government office with sharp eyes.
They all survived after the Tianyin Sect captured Muzhou City.
There was someone here who was lucky enough to lead someone out when the Tianyin Sect was in trouble, and then hid in the mountains for nearly a month.
Some were also thrown into prison and held for nearly a month.
There are also some people who took refuge in Tianyin Sect when Tianyin Sect fell into the city, but were abandoned when Tianyin Sect left.
The truly devout Tianyin believers have long been taken away by the Tianyin Sect.
"Peng Canjun." Li Xuan looked directly at the tall Muzhou Facao Canjun Peng Wen, who was wearing a dark green official robe.
"Your Majesty is here." Peng Wen immediately took a step forward with a solemn look on his face.
"Peng Shenjun led Fa Cao and his men, and after a fierce battle, they entered Dongshan and continued to resist the Tianyin rebels. The merits were recorded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Peng Wen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was the only person present in Muzhou who had no faults and meritorious deeds.
As Muzhou's legal officer, Peng Wen did not hesitate to gather a large number of people before the incident and escaped from the city before it fell completely.
It wasn't until the officers and soldiers came back that he went down the mountain to contact everyone.
For people like him, the court has always given extra praise.
Li Xuan looked at Peng Wen and said solemnly: "I am just a pacifier and do not have much power. I can only let Peng Shenjun continue to be in charge of Muzhou Facao. At the same time, he will inspect the school soldiers Cao Shenjun and quickly organize the Muzhou officers and soldiers. stand up.
Once the Tianyin cult was over and the armies retreated, Muzhou's security and city defense would all depend on joining the army. "
Li Xuan's voice was very sincere, and what he meant was that if he had enough power, he would directly appoint Peng Wenjian as the Muzhou Sima, but the position of Muzhou Sima was beyond Li Xuan's ability. Appointed at will.
"I accept my order." Peng Wen was not dissatisfied at all. Although Li Xuan did not give him the title of Sima, he gave him the status of Sima.
With Fa Cao and Bing Cao in hand, he is equivalent to Sima Muzhou.
As long as he does well during this period and can be recommended by Duan Duan, the king of Nanchang, it will not be a problem for him to take up the post of Muzhou Sima in the future.
Even if you are not in Muzhou, you can still work in another state.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at another official in his forties who was also wearing a green official robe standing next to Peng Wen.
In today's state government office, except for those brought by Li Xuan, there are four people wearing green official robes, and most of the others are wearing cyan official robes.
Three of the four people are the remaining three of the six Cao Cao soldiers in Wuzhou today, and the others are all dead.
There are also the county magistrates of the six counties in Muzhou. When the Tianyin Sect occupied Muzhou, all six county magistrates died for their country.
"Zhou joins the army." Li Xuan landed on Zhou Yi, the Muzhou scholar Cao joined the army.
Zhou Yi immediately raised his hand and said, "I'm here."
"Although you have been captured for the past month, you have not surrendered to the thieves. After my verification, it is indeed true. Therefore, in addition to your duties, I order you to inspect the Muzhou Hu Cao and join the army, renovate the Yellow Book, demarcate the land, and confirm Attribution allows the people to plant seeds in the autumn with peace of mind and no longer have to worry about the follow-up.”
A trace of worry immediately flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, but he still immediately handed over his hands and said: "I will accept your order."
The next most important thing in Muzhou is the matter of farmland.
The burden on Zhou Yi suddenly became heavier.
When the Tianyin Sect occupied Muzhou, the reason why Zhou Yi did not surrender to the traitors was not because he withstood severe torture, but because the Tianyin Sect itself did not feel much about the scholar-cao with the least power among the six cao-cao in Muzhou. interest.
So later, Zhou Yi was thrown into prison directly. As time passed, he was forgotten.
Li Xuan shook his head and looked at Zhang Xu, the military officer of the Kucao army in Muzhou, on the other side. His expression turned cold: "Canjun Zhang, please continue to serve as the army officer of the Kucao army and assist me in transporting grain and grass. I understand."
"I understand." Zhang Canjun handed over his hands with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Li Xuan's attitude towards him was obviously not as good as the other two.
But he couldn't refute it. Some things were not what he wanted, but he just did them.
At this moment, just
Li Xuan said seriously: "We must be careful when dealing with the treasury. In addition to not encountering disasters such as water or fire, we must also ensure that the grain stored in the treasury cannot be used for personal gain by others."
"Follow the order!" Zhang Xu cupped his hands and retreated.
"Zhao Jiaoyu." Li Xuan looked at Muzhou Jiaoyu Zhao Cen, who was standing next to Zhang Xu.
Zhao Cen walked out with a calm expression, and then calmly handed over his hands: "I'm here."
Li Xuan nodded and said: "I have discussed with Governor Duan that the state school will be renovated in Muzhou this year. All the good people in Muzhou can enter the school to study. Those with outstanding results will be sent to Chang'an to participate in the next year. In Chunwei, the matter of surveying and selecting the site will be left to Zhao Jiaoyu."
"I'll take the order." Zhao Cen immediately became interested when he heard that the state school was going to be renovated.
"In addition, we also asked the Imperial Examiner and the Muzhou Merit Cao to join the army and appraise their merits in order to find new achievements." Li Xuan's eyes passed over Zhao Cen and fell on more people behind him.
Some of those people were young, some were old, some were wearing gray robes, and some were wearing black brocade clothes.
These people were all the previous heads of various workshops and districts.
Among these people, there are basically no true believers in Tianyin Goddess.
But during the period when the Tianyin Sect occupied Muzhou, they became loyal followers of the Tianyin Sect.
Even when the Tianyin Sect was retreating, they wanted to call them, but they were all rejected.
Because they couldn't bear to part with everything they had in Muzhou.
As soon as the Tianyin Sect withdrew, they immediately returned to the government.
Opportunist.
Li Xuan saw through the essence of these people at a glance.
"If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."
Li Xuan's eyes fell on everyone present, and said calmly: "If Muzhou wants to be completely pacified, the people's prosperity is the most fundamental. Every branch and every district must seriously cooperate with Hucao to complete the field inventory as soon as possible, and at the same time complete the land deeds." Renew and let the people completely own the land."
Land deed renewal, everyone present keenly grasped this word.
The uncertainty of land ownership is the biggest problem in Muzhou today.
Once the land title is renewed, it means that all previous land titles will not count.
Everything will be re-identified by the government.
Once the recognition is completed, the people will have their own land deeds, and the land deeds recognized by the court will naturally feel at peace.
"I obey the order." Although everyone present had different thoughts, they still bowed and obeyed the order.
"When Zhou joins the army, all land matters in Muzhou will be carried out in accordance with the Yonghui Law. Try to ensure that every male has a hundred acres of land, but only a hundred acres." Li Xuan emphasized the last point very seriously.
"Your Majesty, if someone owns more than a hundred acres of land, what should be done with it?" Zhou Yi had to stand up. ..
A hundred acres of land is already the upper limit for an ordinary family, but for a truly aristocratic family, a thousand acres is the upper limit.
"For those with more than 100 acres, you must first produce the land deed. If the transaction has been carried out for twenty years, you must also produce the transaction certificate, as well as the annual tax payment certificate. If everything is legal and legal, the land title will be replaced with a new one in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty. If it is If not, then it will not count.”
Li Xuan looked at everyone coldly. Most of the people present had a sudden change in their expressions.
During these twenty years, the imperial court implemented strict tax laws in Muzhou, making life difficult for ordinary people, even ordinary landowners.
Those who really own large tracts of land are local aristocratic families in Muzhou, and they use various means to embezzle people's fields.
At the same time, they used various means to hide the land, collude with the government, and owe taxes.
Now let them take out these things, how can they take them out?
Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, Li Xuan sneered in her heart: "It's you people who are the ones being punished."
Li Xuan turned his head to look at Zhou Yi and said coldly: "Zhou joins the army, and the soldiers from Muzhou brought by this king will follow you. If anyone forcibly stops them, they will be thrown into jail. Anyone with weapons will be charged with treason." If he is punished, he will be killed immediately."
Li Xuan immediately executed him, full of murderous intent.
All present
Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads, cupped their hands and said, "I obey the order."
Although the butcher's knife is ahead, people's dissatisfaction still remains.
At this time, Li Xuan suddenly said coldly: "I heard that someone was spreading the news that I killed tens of thousands of Muzhou soldiers in Wuzhou. Have you ever heard of it?"
Li Xuan's words made everyone present in Muzhou stiffen immediately.
