Relying on food, Qin Yu completely controlled the rights of everyone in Cangxian City.
Regarding this point, Qin Yu originally thought that Zhao Xingzhi would be submissive in front of him and make some small moves behind his back.
However, it didn't take long for Qin Yu to discover that Zhao Xingzhi really wanted to lie down!
Huddled in the county government office every day, I only know how to practice calligraphy and read books, and don't care about other things.
But Qin Yu had no time to care about him.
Now that the New Year is approaching, there are only seven days left.
Before the New Year, the people should have a warm New Year in the city.
Previously, due to the disasters caused by the Cangxian Army, the houses in the city could not be repaired, and some were even razed to the ground by the Cangxian Army.
Qin Yu wanted to gather the people, repair the houses that could be repaired first, and then distribute them.
In the county captain's mansion that was previously occupied by Niu Jin.
"How's the registration going?"
"Sir, the total number of men, women, old and young in the city is six thousand four hundred and thirty-five." Gongsun Qi said while looking at the list.
"Separate men and women, children and the elderly. We want to rebuild Cang County. Everyone must contribute. Anyone who does not contribute will starve to death!"
"Rebuild Cang County!" Gongsun Qi frowned, "The bandits outside the city have not been dealt with yet. I'm afraid it will not be easy to rebuild Cang County."
"Three days are up, right?" Qin Yu asked.
Gongsun Qi was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Today happens to be the third day."
Today is Qin Yu's last deadline for the bandits outside the city. If they don't come to surrender and register today, the only thing waiting for them will be to be wiped out.
At this moment, Lao Huang ran in in a hurry. He didn't notice that there was ice under his feet and fell down.
"Sir! There are many bandits coming from outside the city!" Lao Huang reported breathlessly.
"What! Could it be that these bandits want to attack the city?" Gongsun Qi was surprised.
Qin Yu glanced at Gongsun Qi, shook his head secretly and said, "You are still too young."
Qin Yu stood up and ordered: "Gongsun Qi, take the people and registration items with you and go to the city gate to register them."
"What do you mean, sir, are they here to surrender?" Gongsun Qi asked.
"If you know, ask, hurry up, these are all labor." Qin Yu said with a smile.
Qin Yu was indeed worried before that the bandits were stubborn and unwilling to surrender.
If this is the case, then it will really be a problem to eradicate them in the future.
Fortunately, these guys are here now. As for why they are so sure that these people surrendered, they got rid of Song Qian only because of themselves. Unless they are mentally ill, they would become enemies with themselves now.
Moreover, if he wanted to attack the city, he would have done so long ago, and would not have waited until now.
······
On the other side, Gongsun Qi had already led more than two hundred soldiers to the city gate in a mighty manner.
The people in the city had long known that a large number of bandits were coming from outside the city, and they were immediately frightened and hid.
When they saw Gongsun Qi rushing to the city gate with his troops, a few brave people came out cautiously to check the situation.
Gongsun Qi ordered his men to open the city gate, and a cold current poured in from outside the city, kicking up a large amount of snowflakes.
Snowflakes fall in the wind, forming a beautiful snow scene.
After the city gate opened, he looked outside the city and saw a group of bandits who looked very embarrassed.
The leader was none other than Sun Erniang from the Iron Lady Gang.
However, Sun Erniang's face was not pretty, and she seemed to be injured, with a bloody cloth wrapped around her arm.
Gongsun Qi ordered his people to set up ten tables and then stood up.
"Everyone listen, put your swords on the ground and line up for registration. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed!"
The bandits looked at each other in confusion, and finally, amid a burst of chaos, they lined up in ten formations, and the messy weapons were neatly planted on the ground.
Sun Erniang was the first to register, and Gongsun Qi also paid close attention to the bandit leader.
The name of Sun Erniang was Sun Huiling. She used to be the daughter of a wealthy family in the city. She only became a bandit after her family was ruined by the former county magistrate.
After Sun Erniang registered, she grabbed Gongsun Qi's collar without waiting for Gongsun Qi's instructions.
"You are now an adult! I want to see him!" Sun Erniang's face was full of ferocity, even Gongsun Qi, who had experienced many battles, was frightened.
Gongsun Qi waved away the soldiers who were running towards him, and then asked: "Excuse me, what do you want my lord to do?"
Sun Erniang shook Gongsun Qi away and said angrily: "Of course I have to thank you in person!"
Gongsun Qi rolled his eyes, would you like to thank someone like this? Seeking revenge is more like it.
Gongsun Qi originally planned to ask someone to tie up Sun Erniang and then take her to see Qin Yu.
But considering the special status of Sun Erniang, if Sun Erniang is kidnapped, the large number of bandits behind will have to cause trouble.
"Sun Erniang, my master is busy right now and I don't have time to see you for the time being. You should obey the arrangements first." Gongsun Qi planned to stabilize Sun Erniang first and then report the matter to Qin Yu.
"Huh, don't you have time? Then I'll wait until he has time!" Sun Erniang snorted coldly and asked, "Tell me, how do you plan to arrange for us people!"
"After you are registered, several areas will be set aside for you. As long as you work hard and do not violate laws and disciplines, you will not be short of food and warm clothes."
After hearing Gongsun Qi's promise, Sun Erniang nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, most people on the mountain don't want to live a normal life anymore. They were just forced to have no choice before.
Although it is said that surrendering now is forced, after all, the mountain is in chaos now. Even the Iron Lady Gang suffered heavy losses and had to go down the mountain to surrender.
Everything after that was much simpler, it was nothing more than registering and then assigning people to be guards.
Although these people surrendered, they still had banditry in them, so they had to be cautious.
This time, the total number of bandits who surrendered down the mountain was more than 1,600.
You know, there are only more than 6,000 people in the city, which is almost one-fifth of the population.
Moreover, there are some bandits on the mountain who plan to resist.
From this we can also see how bad the situation in Cang County is.
Gongsun Qi didn't even know what method Qin Yu would use to save the entire Cang County.
Outside the city, the bandits surrendered, and it soon spread inside the city.
The common people also came out one after another. After all, the city gate was opened, but the bandits did not attack, which was enough to explain a lot of problems.
"Would you like to go take a look?"
"Don't go. Those people are all bandits no matter what. Don't mess with them."
"What are you afraid of? They have all surrendered. If they can still attack us, the county captain can spare them!"
"Yes, yes, let's go and see together."
A few brave people planned to go to the outside of the city together.
At this moment, a soldier rushed out from the county captain's mansion on a fast horse.
"The county captain has an order! Convene the heads of each district to discuss matters!"
