No matter what you want to do, having a good opening is half the battle.

Taking Hou Yue can be regarded as a good start for the Ming Hou Mansion's governance of Nanxiang.

Hou Yue, as the county commander of Nanxiang, is currently the most prestigious person in Nanxiang County, he chose to stand on the side of the Minghou Mansion, and the people felt it, so they would consider it and continue to stand opposite the Minghou Mansion, which was an unwise thing.

Not to mention letting them directly accept the rule of the Minghou Mansion again, but at least it can eliminate some of the hostility towards the Minghou Mansion in their hearts.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

So then, there's a second step.

Mu Jing for how to sort out Nanxiang, before entering Nanxiang, there was already a systematic plan, the first step is to capture the county government, the county government as a central nerve to rule Nanxiang, take here, is equivalent to take down the direction of the wind to blow in the future.

And the second step is naturally to directly capture the local squire and wealthy family.

The snake has no head and does not walk.

Nanxiang County, as the main city in the west of Nanyang, has a large population and a mixed mix of fish and dragons, to say that there is a leader, on the surface it is the county government, but in fact, it is these squires and wealthy families, these local families, because of the long operation time, the influence is huge, hundreds of people trust them, because they know the roots, many times, they are actually the attitude of a county to the ruler that is fully represented.

Why do many history books say that the era of the late Han Dynasty was the world of the family gate.

It is nothing more than that these family lords and squires can represent the people, and their reputation for many years is a weapon that can be trusted by the people, and many princes dare not provoke them, that is, they also encourage the people to resist the rule.

Therefore, in the current troubled times, the princes of the general secession areas will choose to befriend these family lords, squires and wealthy families, and let them support themselves as much as possible, so as to win the greatest trust.

However, the administrative opposite of the regime of the other princes was the opposite.

From the very beginning, Mu Shan and Mu Jing, a father and son, have been standing on the opposite side of the Shi clan, and Mu Jing would never have done anything with a hot face and a cold ass, whether it was in Nanxiang, Nanzheng, Hanzhong, or now Jiangzhou, Mu Jing did not deliberately plan to please the Shi clan and the squire.

His governance policy has always been soft for the local people, but for the local squires and wealthy families, he has always been hard-hitting, ruling the powerful with power.

However, the Minghou Mansion has a set of governing the people, and it is strong enough that many people's trust in the Minghou Mansion has become great, so they can even forget where these squires and wealthy families are located, so the Minghou Mansion has adhered to this concept until now.

But now, Mu Jing thinks that he himself is going to confess to the squire and wealthy family in Nanxiang.

This place in Nanxiang County is different from other places, because he came back with guilt, so he must not be as strong as other places, if he is forced like this, it will easily collapse, and the people in the city will be in turmoil, causing resentment, which is enough to break out into chaos.

He can only take his time, come slowly, the best way is to use the local strength to win back the hearts of the people bit by bit, these squires and wealthy families, no matter what, he can't get around.

So Mu Jingrang's Hou Yue personally came to build a bridge and pave the road, and then held a banquet in the post station.

For this banquet, Song Shan arranged it at the post station, and basically invited the squires and wealthy families of all sizes in Nanxiang to the banquet, which was regarded as a low profile, putting down their high dignity, communicating with them, and discussing with them.

At the beginning, the Ming Marquis Mansion ruled Nanxiang, because of unity and focus, the development was getting faster and faster, in fact, these squires and wealthy families were also oppressed by Mu Jing, and in desperation, they actually made a lot of efforts, and gradually they did not resist the Mu clan so much.

After all, although the Mu clan is strong, the Mu clan can also ensure their safety, no matter how big the family is, isn't it just trying to survive.

But then the herdsmen withdrew, and they also suffered heavy casualties.

New hatred and old hatred, and even more remorse, so these wealthy families, even now, their resentment towards the Minghou Mansion is actually greater than that of ordinary people.

But Mu Jing did enough to come forward this time.

First of all, he asked Hou Yue to come forward to arrange this banquet, Hou Yue is the identity of the savior in the hearts of many people in Nanxiang, when the Ming Hou Mansion abandoned Nanxiang, most of the officials withdrew, but Hou Yue stayed.

Hou Yue used his wisdom and ability, in the past few years, under the constant maneuvering, under the power, to keep a family, in the hearts of many people, he is a benefactor.

So his face is in Nanxiang, and there are few people who can't help but give it.

In addition, Hou Yue is still the commander of Nanxiang County, and he holds great power, and his attitude can also determine the living environment of many families, so in addition to respect, even some people with ghosts are afraid of him and go crazy.

Therefore, the squires and wealthy families in Nanxiang and the people who go to the banquet occupy more than ninety percent.

Of course, their going to the banquet does not mean that they are willing to follow all the arrangements of the Minghou Mansion, as the so-called loss of trust once, even if the sword of the Minghou Mansion has been on their necks, they are not willing to continue to believe in the Minghou Mansion.

Mu Jing didn't care very much either, it was impossible for them to directly change these people's views of the Minghou Mansion at once.

To deal with these people, Mu Jing has the means.

If you can't say it, then you will directly use the interests to smash it, and he is ready to put in Nanxiang to suppress Nanxiang, which is equivalent to taking back the western part of Nanyang, so he doesn't mind investing more resources here.

These squires are not businessmen, but their weaknesses are also obvious.

At the banquet, Mu Jing personally went down and recommended the children of several families to go on a career path, and this wave of commotion suddenly broke the plan of these squires and wealthy families to resist the Minghou Mansion.

The squire and wealthy family are a little far away from the family gate valve, they have great influence in the local area, but their influence in Shilin is not high, even if their family children also study and practice martial arts, but the opportunity is very few compared to winning the family gate valve with a deep heritage.

If you want to let the children of the family have a career, you must first be recommended, and then you must have a position, if you can meet the two conditions, Mu Jing is enough for one person, and in terms of today's status, he has the right to recommend anyone to go to work.

Moreover, the person he recommended, in the Minghou Mansion, is equivalent to the protégé of the Son of Heaven, cultivated by the lineage, and has a bright future.

Therefore, it is only a matter of a moment for these squires and wealthy families to change their positions, and even if they are afraid that it will be late, the quota will be given to others, and the children of their family will not be able to get anything, then it will be a tragedy.

The banquet suddenly became lively, and the enthusiasm of the local elders, squires and wealthy families, and their enthusiasm for the pastoral scenery instantly rose to a higher level.

……

The second step has been completed as desired, and at present, the reorganization of Nanxiang has completed two-thirds of the progress, and the next step is the last step.

This third step requires the joint support of the county government and the local squires and wealthy families.

That is the mighty action of tax reduction.

Nanxiang's annual tax is insignificant compared to the Minghou Mansion, but for the people of Nanxiang, it is a matter of life and death, especially in the suffering of the past few years, the food and grass at home are very short.

Of course, since Mu Jing bled and made such a move, he must have a harvest, which is a very realistic thing, and it is also a thing that those in power should consider.

That's why he needs the support of the county government and the squires and wealthy families to make this situation bigger.

Let the wind of Nanxiang blow towards the Minghou Mansion.

Not to mention that these people will forget the disappointment of the Minghou Mansion to Nanxiang, at least let them feel the closeness of the Minghou Mansion, and some of the Minghou Mansion will bring vital interests in the future.

……

Mu Jing entered Nanxiang, it was only three days before and after, and he walked down in one or two or three steps, and he was a little exhausted, but the effect was still quite good, especially this morning, the news of the announcement of tax exemption caused the people in the city to boil.

The next thing, Mu Jing doesn't need to pay too much attention, local governance, after all, must be handed over to the locality, as long as he plays a guiding role in the midterm, it is enough.

The people who came down from Nanyang Taishou Mansion have re-established contact with the Nanxiang County Ya, which means that Nanxiang has returned to the governance of the Minghou Mansion.

At this time, Mu Jing had quietly left Nanxiang.

After leaving Nanxiang, the inspection of Nanyang was over, in fact, he should have to go to the rest of the counties in the west, but Jingwusi came with a few news, which made him a little unable to sit still.

So when he walked out of Nanxiang City, he went directly to Hanzhong.

This time I walked and galloped in the east mountain.

Dongshan Chi Road, the important project of the Minghou Mansion was contracted to the merchants, and later because the Minghou Mansion lost Nanyang, the impact on this road is not small, after all, it is contracted out, it is necessary to give them the opportunity to collect road tax, two ends and a card, in order to collect road tax.

But the Nanyang section lost control, which made many businessmen suffer losses.

The Minghou Mansion even lost some credit, this part of the sacrifice was not small, and it took a long time to make up for it, and it was considered to make up for it and regain the trust of these merchants.

But now that the Minghou Mansion has recaptured Nanyang, this section of the road, the Minghou Mansion has also been reclaimed, and I don't plan to continue to take it out, what needs to be compensated at the beginning, has been compensated, and this section of the road has been released as a catalyst for the convenient transportation between Hanzhong and Nanyang.

Fortunately, the Dongshan Chi Road and the Han Water Chi Road were repaired at the beginning, which allowed Mu Jing to enter Hanzhong from Nanyang for a few days.

In mid-April, Mu Jing and his entourage have entered Hanzhong from Dongshan Gallop.

At this time, the general trend of the princes of the world to crusade against Xiliang has become a battlefield, and the world has been reduced to a battlefield from south to north......
