On the second day after Chen Ziang led his army to occupy Yunxi Mansion, notices were posted at the city gate and at the main streets.
The content of these notices is the new policy implemented by the Qinghe Army in Yunxi Mansion, abolishing the imperial court's exorbitant taxes, re-measurement of acres, etc.
Although order has been restored in the city, most of the people are still full of fear of Qinghe Army, an unfamiliar army.
Therefore, the common people closed their doors and closed their doors, watching the situation, resulting in no ghosts on the notices posted everywhere.
Qin An is now not only serving as the Chief of Administration of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, but also appointed as the Chief of Government Affairs of Yunxi Prefecture, with an overview of the government affairs of the three counties in the prefecture.
While Qin An was busy preparing for the Yunxi Government Office, he also took time out to wander around the city, wanting to communicate with the people and understand what they most urgently need.
However, Qin An moved a few streets, except for the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were patrolling, there were no people in sight.
When he walked to the place where the notice was posted, he frowned even more, because no one read it. Isn't this notice written in vain?
"Master Miao, the people are afraid of my Qinghe army and dare not go out. What should I do?"
Facing the empty and desolate streets, Qin An, the newly appointed chief minister of Yunxi Mansion, also felt a little tricky, so he had to ask a young official beside him.
This young official is Miao Cai, who was born as a soldier of the Qinghe Army. He has participated in literacy training courses, junior officer training courses, and middle-level staff training courses. Because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended to the Secretary of Government Affairs.
Now that the Yunxi Government Affairs Office has been established, Miao Cai has been transferred from the Qinghe Army Administration Department to the head of the household department of the Yunxi Government Affairs Office, in charge of household registration, money, grain and farmland.
"Your Excellency, don't worry. Our Qinghe Army has strict military discipline. People dare not come out because they don't know us well and are worried about getting into trouble. We just need to find a few local people to shout on the streets and publicize our new policy, and they will definitely be less afraid. .¡± Miaocai thought for a while and replied.
Miao Cai suggested: "Now the camp outside the city detains a lot of young men who assisted the garrison to defend the city. They were also forced to recruit and they couldn't help themselves. It's better to release them and let them do something for us. .¡±
Qin An, chief executive officer of Yunxi Mansion, nodded: "That's fine, I'll leave this matter to you."
Miao Cai quickly arrived at the camp where the captives were detained outside the city with Qin An's opinion, and found a general in charge of the camp.
This thousand-person general heard that he was an important person from Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs, so he naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported to the higher authorities.
"Let's hand over those young and strong to the government, but those garrison soldiers who fought with us that day need to continue to stay in the prisoner-of-war camp to receive education."
After receiving the report from the people below, Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, was also very face-saving and agreed to hand over the young and strong to the government for disposal.
Because these young men were also forcibly recruited by the defenders, they had no choice but to fight against the Qinghe army.
And most of them are from Yunxi Mansion, and behind each of them is a family.
Putting them back not only shows that the Qinghe army is magnanimous, but also stabilizes the hearts of the people.
With the permission of Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, Miao Cai, the head of the household department of the government affairs government, was able to pick up the repatriated young adults.
The young and strong Ding Laosan and Dunzi were detained in the camp outside Yunxi Prefecture. Although they had enough to eat and drink, they were always uneasy.
During this period, they were also called individually for questioning. They did not dare to hide anything, and explained everything in detail.
They are now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, detained in the camp, unable to control their own destiny.
When seeing Miao Cai and the Qinghe army's thousands of generals coming hand in hand, Ding Laosan and the others became nervous, because they knew that the time had come to decide their fate.
Ding Laosan and the others were gathered together in anxiety, and Ding Laosan had even made preparations to escape desperately if the Qinghe Army wanted to kill him.
"You are all innocent people who were coerced at the beginning, and your affairs have been investigated, so from now on, you will regain your freedom."
But to Ding Laosan's surprise, the Qinghe army didn't want to drag them out for execution, but wanted to let them go.
"Tunzi, they said they were going to let us go?"
Ding Laosan couldn't believe his ears, he hurriedly bumped into the neighbor who was standing next to him, and asked in a low voice.
"It seems to say so."
Dunzi also?Answered with suspicion, he also feels like a dream now, they have fought against the Qinghe army, so they let them go so easily?
"Our Qinghe army is different from other insurgents. We don't burn, kill, loot, and we took down Yunxi Mansion because we want our folks here to live a good life."
"So we will stay permanently in Yunxi Mansion, and we will abolish the exorbitant taxes imposed by the imperial court. In the future, when you farm land, you only need to pay taxes on the two harvests"
After Miao Cai, the head of the household department, announced that he had let go of the young men, he also formally introduced the Qinghe Army to them.
"How can there be such a good thing in the world, shouldn't it be tricking us?"
Hearing that Miaocai said that exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes would be abolished, and that only 20% of the harvested grain would be handed over in the future, Ding Laosan and the others couldn't believe it.
After all, the imperial court used to collect taxes according to the head, and often the annual harvest was not enough to pay the imperial grain at one time, and even had to owe the government government.
The young adults were also talking about it, and their eyes were full of doubts, because the gap between this and the tax collected by the imperial court was too big, and they couldn't believe it.
"I know that you don't believe it now, but our Qinghe Army has always kept our word, and we will never lie."
"Now we will re-measure the land and fields in the whole prefecture, and will re-distribute the land according to each household."
"Because we are new here and we are not familiar with the place where we live, so now I would like to trouble you to go back and inform the neighbors that the land measurement and distribution will start tomorrow. If you want to distribute the land, you should go to the government office to register as soon as possible."
"Of course, our Qinghe army will not let you work in vain. Those who are willing to inform the neighbors and help our Qinghe army re-measure the acres of fields will be rewarded with a bucket of grain and one hundred copper coins every day."
Miao Cai, the head of the household department, chattered for a long while, and what he said was so impressive that the young men also murmured in their hearts, thinking that it didn't look like a fake.
"Will you really give food and copper coins?"
A young man whose family was already unable to solve the problem heard so many benefits and couldn't help asking.
"That's natural. Have you seen that over there? As long as you are willing to help our Qinghe Army promote the New Deal, and then help measure the land and acres, I can give you food and copper coins in advance." Miao Cai pointed to the carriage in the distance road.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take something and run away?"
"The cavalry of our Qinghe Army is everywhere behind Yunxi Mansion. If anyone runs away with money and food, our Qinghe Army will not be able to rub the sand in their eyes. You will be responsible for the consequences." Miao Cai reminded.
"Then I just notify my neighbors, can I still receive money and food?"
"sure."
"Let me try."
"Very good, go there to register first, and get the money and food in advance."
Miaocai nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the courageous young man was willing to stand up.
Although Ding Laosan was also greedy for the Qinghe army's money and food, he was still more cautious and did not stand up. He was worried that the Qinghe army would backtrack.
Although Ding Laosan and the others did not agree to notify the neighbors and sign up to help measure the fields, the Qinghe army released them.
"I didn't expect them to really keep their word."
"Isn't it? I thought I was going to die."
"I didn't expect the thieves The Qinghe army is really different from other armies."
"That's not true."
"However, we must be on guard against them. Don't let the weasels pay New Year greetings to the chickens. They have no good intentions."
The young adults were free, and after discussing for a while, they all went straight to their homes happily, eager to see the situation at home.
