    Qin An, Chief of the Yunxi Government Affairs Office, personally went to the Command Headquarters of the Second Army Corps and asked Chen Ziang to ask the Intelligence Investigation Department to assist them in investigating the tragedy in Zhangzhuang.

    Although Chen Ziang and the others have occupied Yunxi Mansion militarily, most of the people are keeping a distance from them, let alone supporting them.

    Therefore, whether they can win the support of the general public in Yunxi Mansion is the key to whether Chen Ziang and the others can gain a firm foothold here.

    In order to win the support of the general public, it is urgent to solve their food problem.

    Although the Qinghe Army has seized a lot of food, it has already allocated part of it to distribute to the people, which can solve the urgent need.

    However, this is only an expedient measure, and the Qinghe Army's rations are also limited. To feed so many people, the consumption will be an astronomical figure.

    Therefore, the only way to solve the problem of food for the common people is to let the common people obtain cultivated land.

    This is also the reason why Chen Ziang and the others did not rush to expand the territory after they occupied Yunxi Mansion, but instead concentrated on dividing the land.

    He was also very angry when he heard a report in the morning that one of their land-distributing work teams had been killed by bandits, and more than a dozen households who had received their land had been wiped out. He was also very angry and kept thinking about it.

    "I thought about it carefully. Since they are coming at our Qinghe Army, we must accept the move, and we must make the matter bigger, so as to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys."

    Chen Zi'ang was a second person, after thinking about it, he saw the essence of the matter directly through the phenomenon, so he had already guessed the forces behind these bandits.

    After all, these bandits came out suddenly and not only wiped out one of their work teams, but also wiped out the mouths of more than a dozen households. This is already obvious, and they are targeting their Qinghe army.

    Their Qinghe army had no grievances with these bandits, and because of the bandit's bullying nature, they naturally didn't dare to provoke the Qinghe army, which was stronger than them.

    But now these bandits dared to break ground at Tai Sui and took the initiative to provoke the Qinghe army. Behind them must be the mastermind behind the scenes.

    Although Chen Ziang was not sure whether the mastermind behind the scenes was a certain big family, or that several big families colluded to buy bandits.

    But there is no doubt that in this land distribution, it is these gentry clans who have directly lost their interests.

    "This is a provocation and temptation to us. For those who participated in the tragedy, no matter who they are, they must be dealt with severely, and they must be paid in blood!"

    Chen Ziang knew very well in his heart that if they showed weakness this time, those interests would soon be damaged, and a series of actions would be launched.

    Now it's just a work team that was slaughtered by the bandits at night, and more than a dozen households were wiped out.

    If their Qinghe army's handling can't deter those people in the dark, then such a thing will happen again.

    Moreover, the incident in Zhangjiazhuang got off to a very bad start this time, more than a dozen households were wiped out, and other people who had been watching were even more afraid to contact the Qinghe Army.

    Chen Ziang originally thought that their Qinghe Army would use Yunxi Mansion as their foothold, and this would be their base camp in the future.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang still had an attitude of fighting for the wealthy local gentry, so he didn't hit them hard.

    As long as they return the land they robbed before to the common people, Chen Ziang will also benefit them in the future.

    Chen Ziang knew that if they relied solely on land finance, the development of their Qinghe army would be limited. After all, the output of land was only so much. If there was a natural disaster, the Qinghe army would have to subsidize the people.

    In Chen Zi'ang's conception, in the future, they will vigorously encourage industry and commerce in the area controlled by the Qinghe Army.

    Because only industry and commerce has become prosperous, even if only 10% of the tax is collected at that time, it will be enough to make their Qinghe army rich.

    And the local wealthy gentry have accumulated wealth for so many years, and they are capable of developing industry and commerce.

    What Chen Ziang thought was that after the land distribution was completed, he would call these rich gentry and let them invest in the establishment of some shops and factories, and gradually develop the industry and commerce.

    As long as they make money in industry and commerce, they will no longer grab land from the people.

    In this way, a virtuous circle can be formed to avoid land mergers from happening again.

    ?Because the money earned by doing business is dozens or hundreds of times that of land and grain, these people will not go toThe mouths of the people took food.

    But to Chen Ziang's surprise, before his policy of encouraging industry and commerce was introduced, these gentry and rich men began to secretly obstruct his land distribution.

    "Since they insisted on hitting the knife's edge, it's no wonder I, Chen Ziang, made a cruel move."

    "Qin An, I now appoint you as the person in charge of the Zhangzhuang case, and you will handle this matter yourself."

    "I will issue an order from the Intelligence and Investigation Division, and they will select capable personnel to cooperate with you."

    Qin An just wanted to ask Chen Ziang for instructions. He hoped to borrow some people from the Intelligence and Investigation Department. He wanted to catch some behind-the-scenes people and frighten other gentry and rich men, so as to facilitate better progress in the next work.

    But what I didn't expect was that Chen Ziang's attitude was more clear, and he directly wanted to make an example of others.

    When Chen Ziang dispatched a thousand cavalry soldiers to the government for temporary dispatch in the morning, he was still thinking about whether to step up efforts to suppress the bandits.

    Later, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem to be a problem with the bandits. The Qinghe army was so powerful, how could the bandits dare to touch the tiger's butt? There must be someone behind these bandits.

    Qin An, the head of the government affairs government, wanted to seek assistance from important people from the intelligence department, and he also noticed that something was wrong.

    After Chen Ziang figured it out, he felt more and more that these gentry and rich men were behind the scenes.

    Since it is these gentry and rich men who are playing tricks behind the scenes, the purpose is to prevent them from dividing the land.

    The country gentry and wealthy lords have already made their moves, and Chen Ziang will naturally retaliate to them.

    Compared with those country gentry and rich men who were hiding in the dark, Chen Ziang was backed by the army, so he was naturally full of confidence.

    "General, can you further clarify the measure of killing chickens and monkeys?"

    Chen Ziang asked Qin An to catch this matter himself, and wanted to kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

    However, Qin An also knows that these gentry and rich lords rely on their clan connections, and their influence in the local area should not be underestimated. If they do not grasp the scale, it may lead to a chaos.

    Now that the Qinghe Army has just occupied Yunxi Mansion, what they urgently need is stability and development. If because of this incident, the local gentry and rich men collude to rebel against the Qinghe Army, even if the Qinghe Army can suppress it by then, I am afraid that for the local people,  Another catastrophe.

    "You can go ahead and do it. If they are really desperate, our army is not good for nothing. Even if this area is smashed, we will change to another place."

    After hearing Chen Ziang's words, Qin An also felt Chen Ziang's determination, and he also had confidence in his heart.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
