Chapter 293 Peaceful Incorporation
"Three: Youthful and strong people are not allowed to force them to levy taxes." After Qi Jianfang said that, he kept a close eye on Sun Yu. The last one was also the most excessive one.
"From the moment you surrender, my loyal and brave army ruled the people, and my official had already abolished labor service. If there is a need, you will naturally pay for employment, and you will only be willing to do it. As for tax matters, it will be done in accordance with Quanzhou. How about it?" Sun Yu was completely unlucky. This was his way of governance.
"I am here to thank the people of Changle County for my great kindness, General Zhou, go down to open the city gate, and we will ask for surrender after leaving the city." Qi Jianfang did not hesitate at all. The answer given by the other party exceeded his expectations, and he had to stop when he was about to get better.
"Are you going to ask for some conditions for yourself?" Sun Yu was a little surprised, thinking that they would always fight for something for him, but he didn't expect that there was nothing at all.
"The Marquis has already promised me, and the best arrangement is to let go of the past." Qi Jianfang raised the note in his hand and waved it at Sun Yu.
With their status, being able to escape unstoppably is a very good ending. Too many extravagant expectations are not good things, and there are many people who cannot end up well.
"Don't worry, I have always believed in my words." Sun Yu nodded. This person is a tactful person who knows how to advance and retreat. He can arrange a dispatch at his discretion in the future, of course, if he wants to do so.
The city gate slowly opened, and Qi Jianfang led two officials and guard Zhou Lin to walk towards Sun Yu outside the city. The defenders in the city then left the city one by one and piled up weapons to show sincerity.
"The people of the grass are all in the world, and they have met the Marquis of Zhenhai!"
"The last general Zhou Lin, I have met the Marquis of Zhenhai!" Zhou Lin was stunned. What the hell is this county magistrate doing? Why did he call himself a grass-roots man?
......
"Mr. Qi, are you going to retire to the mountains and forests? It's a pity that you have learned and work hard and the fields." When Sun Yu heard this, he understood the meaning and immediately spoke to keep him.
"Mr. Marquis, the people are favored by the king. Now they surrender for the people in the city. If they become enemies with them again, they will be in a state of peace." Qi Jianfang didn't want to do so. With his little arm, he was also blind to farming. Fortunately, he had some savings and could only buy some industries when he turned around. But as a scholar, he was so proud of his master and was unable to stand up to his face.
"Master Qi knows that there is an island called Da Ryukyu hundreds of miles south?" Sun Yu thought about it and threw him directly to Da Ryukyu Island and went to Guan Qingquan as his deputy.
"I know a little bit about it. The island is very large. There are indigenous people on the island and they do not know about education. There have been fishermen in the county, and the climate is quite good." Changle County is near the sea and has many fishermen under its jurisdiction. They all know a little about overseas affairs.
"I am developing this island. Now there are nearly 200,000 ports on the island, which is a total of one county. Now there is only one county magistrate, and there are still no assistant officials such as the county magistrate, chief clerk, etc. If Lord Qi is interested, I can arrange to take office." Sun Yu felt that after going to the island, he would have cut off contact with the outside world, so how can he talk about whether he was the master or not?
"The grass-roots people have to think about it." Qi Jianfang was moved, but after all, it was an island and he didn't know what the conditions were. However, managing such a huge population is even larger than Changle County, and he should be able to show his ambitions.
"Sir Qi, the people on the island are in trouble, and they are looking forward to those who are knowledgeable." Sun Yu felt that it was almost done, so he handed a ladder. For the sake of the dawn, the greatest right path on earth is the world.
.
"We are reading the books of sages to the people of the world. Now that the people have needs, Qi naturally dare not slack off." Qi Jianfang instantly turned into a great and glorious way to seek welfare for the people.
"Okay, Lord Qi speaks happily. I will report to the Ministry of Personnel. The official will arrive soon. These days, you might as well go to Quanzhou first, and you can take a boat to go there at any time." Sun Yu always felt that there were too few managers on the island, so he finally got another one.
"Marty, the people of the grass are willing to go." The county magistrate and the chief clerk who were following behind saw that they had changed from a county magistrate to a county magistrate of the county, and there was basically nothing to go, and they were immediately moved.
"Okay, as long as you are willing to serve, I will definitely make arrangements." Sun Yu was happy. This is a good thing. The island is so short of people, so as long as you are willing to go.
Just as Sun Yu was having a hot chat with them and planning the development prospects of the island, Bai Meng and his soldiers surrounded all the surrendered Zhangwu Army guards from the city.
"Mr. Marquis, what are you doing?" Zhou Lin stopped doing it. You educated scholars have made good arrangements. It would be fine if we didn't get the benefits, but why did we still surround us? Didn't we agree to come and go freely?
"Mr. Marquis, is this?" Qi Jianfang was also puzzled. Didn't it be agreed?
"It's okay, don't worry. It's mainly about explaining the matter of our loyal and brave army serving as a soldier, so that they can make the right choice. Think about it, they have some understanding of life leaving here. But what is the situation of staying, and that's not aware of it, right?" Bai Meng did this, just what Sun Yu told him, and he had to show them the superiority of the loyal and brave army's treatment.
"What the Marquis said is very much." Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhou Lin still felt strange.
Sun Yu was not in a hurry to enter the city. Anyway, there was no resistance in the city now. So I asked the evil dog to find a few benches and let Qi Jianfang and the others watch the fun together, and it was rare to relax.
Bai Meng directed his brothers, and after a moment, he built a half-meter-high platform beside the city wall for a while to display it.
"Well, brothers, my name is Bai Meng, a captain of the Zhongyong Army. To be honest, the Marquis just entered Jianzhou two years ago. We didn't know Mount Tai and wanted to ambush the Marquis. Then we were beaten up and became a prisoner. The Marquis was a lot of, so we asked us to follow us. We made a lot of contributions along the way, and we are now a captain. Looking at you, just like myself back then, I was in a panic and didn't know how to do it. Guess, how much did I earn in total last year?" Bai Meng's words were probably taught by Zhang Daqiu, mainly Bai Meng had also been a prisoner. This experience is easier for the other party to empathize with him, otherwise Zhang Daqiu would definitely come here.
"Come on, guess, I'll give him this knife." Seeing that no one interacted, it was going to be a mess. This was related to the Marquis' big event, Bai Meng felt that he could invest some money and have a prize-winning guess.
With a "swish~", the long sword was pulled out. Although I had just experienced the battle and there were some gaps on the knife, it did not prevent it from being a treasure sword.
They are all great men from the ranks. Although they are second-line soldiers, they usually use rags, but they love treasure swords no less than others.
"I'll do it, I guess eighty taels." A soldier stood up and said loudly, he didn't know the lieutenant.
I guess how much I should earn.
"No, it's missing." Bai Meng shook his head.
"I'll do it, one hundred taels." The other man stood up and continued to guess.
Each person has only one chance, and everyone slowly increases.
......
"One Hundred and Eighty-Five Tales?" A soldier stood up, his tongue was a little knotted. The last one guessed was one Hundred and Eighty Tales. The other party still said less, and he could earn so much in a year.
"A little more." Bai Meng shook his head, very close to the target.
"I'll do it, one hundred and eighty-three taels?" A soldier thief finally gave him a chance.
"Okay, congratulations, I'll give you this knife." Bai Meng also put the knife into the sheath and handed it over directly. He could not rely on the debt under Kuikui's eyes.
"Everyone, two years ago, I was like everyone else, and I was defeated by the Marquis. But now, it is no exaggeration to say that it is easy to buy more than ten acres of land a year. Do you go or stay? Think about it carefully. There are also many brothers who have just been recruited in our group, and you are all fellow villagers. You can communicate later." Bai Meng felt that the medicine had almost been put into practice, and the fellow villagers should appear.
More than a dozen surrendered soldiers who had just been recruited entered the venue and introduced their identities one by one. Bai Meng specially chose someone from Changle County so that they could believe it.
I didn't have much knowledge just in the editor, basically what the food and drink cost is, and some news I heard from veterans.
"Okay, I'm willing to stay. Those who join my loyal and brave army will register on the right. Those who do not meet the conditions will be given severance. Those who want to leave directly can leave from the left now." It's almost dark, so I light a bonfire under the city wall and make a thundering while the iron is hot.
"Marty is wise!" Qi was so impressed that he admired Fang. The stay he had fought for was useless and there was no one left.
"They are here, and they are hanging out every day, but for a salary. Follow me, not only will they have salary, but also a chance to stand out. As long as they are not stupid, they will make wise choices." Of course, there will be such righteousness in the country, but they will never be in such a second-tier product. Sun Yu believes that when they are incorporated into the loyal and brave army and then take them out to win two battles, they will naturally be loyal to themselves after they taste the sweetness.
Bai Meng eliminated some of the old and weak, and organized the remaining eight hundred strong men into the Fourth Regiment, leaving behind 3,000 people. He personally took charge and stationed in Changle County.
"Prince Bai, there are cavalry battalions along the river to keep an eye on them, but some commanding heights still have to be dispatched to build beacon towers to prevent accidents." Sun Yu was worried after all, and he was not sure about the situation on the other side. If the other party crossed the river, he would be caught off guard.
"Don't worry, Marquis, I dare not slackew on my humble position."
Bai Meng immediately promised that Changle County is now the front line of confrontation with Fuzhou, and even for his own life, he would not dare to neglect his duties.
"Well, I will go to Fuqing County tomorrow morning." Sun Yu nodded, not knowing how Lao Cheng fought. The south bank of the Minjiang River was the only one left Fuqing County town.
