After sending away the little eunuch who delivered the order, Zhou Yi asked everyone in the yamen to gather together and closed the door.
After everyone in the field was filled with his own people, Zhou Yi sat with his legs crossed under the plaque "Serving the People", spread out the imperial edict, and began to read.
"Li Feiyu listens!"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion, wondering who the eldest master was talking to.
Zhou Yi read it again: "Li Feiyu listens to the decree!"
Sun Yufu, Master Sun, was the first to react and quickly pulled Qian Captou to his knees: "Qian Captou, the elder is calling you. You killed Liu Datong. If you are not Li Feiyu, who is Li Feiyu!"
Qian Yong was stunned and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to receive the order.
"From now on, Li Feiyu is appointed as the magistrate of Pingliang County. He has more than 5,000 troops under his command and 3,000 of them will be registered as military personnel. I appreciate this!"
Zhou Yi casually threw the imperial edict in front of Qian Yong and said: "Li Feiyu, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Qian Captou still didn't understand, so he quickly kowtowed and thanked, "Thank you for the promotion, sir!"
"Well, starting from tomorrow, the magistrate of Pingliang County will be you, Li Feiyu, and I will also take office in Pingjiang County!"
Hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned again, and immediately began to mourn as if their parents had died.
Qian Captou shouted: "Sir, you must not leave! You are the god of Pingliang County. If you leave, the sky in Pingliang County will fall."
Master Sun also hugged Zhou Yi's thigh and said, "Yes, sir, what will we do if you leave!"
Zhou Yi interrupted everyone's wailing and said: "Why are you crying? Isn't it written in the imperial edict? Li Feiyu will be the magistrate of Pingliang County, and I will be the magistrate of Pingjiang County. Besides, after I go to Pingjiang County, this Pingliang County It’s still my territory.”
"Qian Captou, I saw that you were very talented when you were building the city wall and managing the corvee. Now that I have handed over Pingliang County to you, you have to manage it well! If I know that you are like Liu Datong, I think you should know what will happen to him if he goes against his will!"
Qian Yong, the policeman, kowtowed three times on the ground and thanked him: "Your Excellency not only concealed the crime of killing officials for me, but also gave me management of Pingliang County. Qian Yong will definitely live up to your expectations." Trust, serve the people wholeheartedly.”
"Okay, okay, I'm very pleased that you have such thoughts."
"I see that your son Qian Xiaohao is quite smart, so I asked him to go to Pingjiang County with me. I will personally teach him a thing or two to ensure that he can become a pillar of the imperial court like you in the future."
The reason why Zhou Yi asked Qian Baotou's son to follow him to Pingjiang County was equivalent to leaving a proton with him.
I'm afraid that as time goes by in the future, Capt. Qian will get used to being the leader in Pingliang County and will not listen to Zhou Yi's command. By then Zhouyi will have a way to counter Qian Capture.
But Qian Captou didn't realize this. He simply thought that his son was a talented person, and Zhou Yi wanted to train him to become a pillar.
The next morning, Zhou Yi gathered 300 soldiers and several craftsmen early in the morning to prepare to take office in Pingjiang County.
Unexpectedly, all the people in Pingliang County came out to see their big boss off.
Both sides of the streets in Pingliang County were filled with men and women, old and young. This look is a bit like the scene in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" where the people send Xu Zheng off.
When Zhou Yi and his party arrived at the city gate, Qian Yong and Master Sun had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
Zhou Yi rode up and said: "Master Qian, winter is coming soon. I asked Yang Xiu to purchase some cotton. Then you will distribute this cotton to the people in the city and let them make cotton-padded clothes for the winter. We must not let anyone come to Pingliang." Every citizen in the county will freeze to death and starve to death."
The people on the long street who were reluctant to let Zhou Yi leave heard that the old man was still thinking about the big man's winter before he left. They all stood in front of the horses, trying to stop Zhou Yi from going to Pingjiang County.
"What are you doing? No one is listening to orders, right?"
"Every one of you is living a good life now, with grain, potatoes and pickled mustards, but where are the many people in Pingjiang County? Your master, I am going to Pingjiang County to liberate other people who are suffering from the disaster! Master, although I am gone, But Pingliang County is still my base!"
The people in Pingliang County had also come from hard times. When they heard Zhou Yi's impassioned speech, they instantly understood how huge the responsibility was on their master's shoulders, and they reluctantly moved away from the blocked road. .
Zhou Yi finally gave Qian a final warning: "Remember, if you keep the people in your heart, the people will hold you high!"
Qian Yong nodded firmly and kept repeating this sentence, "If you put the people in your heart, the people will lift you high."
After Zhou Yi led the crowd to leave, Qian Yong took out a booklet and recorded what Zhou Yi had just said on it. The cover of the booklet had the five characters "Quotations of Master Zhou" written on it.
Prime Minister Yan Song, who was far away in the capital, had actually known for a long time that Ye Guangming's family was in Pingjiang County, and it was Yan Song's deliberate move to transfer Zhou Yi to Pingjiang County.
Although Zhou Yi is a small person, it can be seen that Zhou Yi is indeed capable from the fact that he spent more than half a year to manage the dilapidated Pingliang County in an orderly manner.
But what if you have the ability? Today Yan Song is going to teach Zhou Yi a lesson - when you come out to work, you need to focus on strength and background.
Although Ye Guangming is dead, officials from Yan Song and his party have already contacted Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family.
The reason why I want to contact Ye Wuhua is to let him go to the Ye family. He teamed up with some landlords and wealthy people in Pingjiang County to stumbling upon Zhou Yi when he was governing Pingjiang County, causing him to achieve nothing and even make people angry.
Yan Song promised that as soon as the matter is accomplished, he will let outstanding young talents from his Ye family take Zhou Yi's place and serve as the magistrate of Pingjiang County.
Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade!
What do you read about? What I read is such an official body.
Now, after the Prime Minister's group and others have fulfilled their promise, the position of Pingjiang County Magistrate belongs to their Ye family.
So Ye Wuhua agreed without thinking, and before Zhou Yi came to Pingjiang County, he summoned many local landlords and wealthy people, including the Wang family, Li family and other families who had been robbed by Zhou Yi some time ago.
Because these families jointly pushed up grain prices, the poor people had no choice but to exchange their land deeds for coarse grains mixed with sand.
This caused 80% of the fields in Pingjiang County to flow into the hands of these wealthy landlords.
Many people who could not survive fled directly to Pingliang County.
Those who stay in Pingjiang County now are either those whose hometowns are in serious condition, or those who are simply unable or unable to leave.
Pingjiang County originally had a population of more than 20,000, but now only two-thirds remain. However, even so, Pingjiang County still has a population of more than 10,000 waiting for Zhou Yi to rescue.
