The newly appointed Wei Zhou assassin Gu Chang entered, and General Shen of Xingtai came forward to hold a banquet for him, and invited the state to go to this banquet with him.

The venue of the banquet was arranged in the Yecheng Prefecture Bureau, this new Yecheng, which was originally the camp of the king's division to the north, and as the main force of the king's division went north, the original camp was empty. Later, a large number of Hebei people were recruited here, and from last autumn they began to work for relief, and the original camp was expanded again, forming the foundation of the current city.

At present, Yecheng cannot be called a complete city, but only a framework has been erected for the tens of thousands of people gathered here to live temporarily, which is even more incomparable to the Yecheng built by the old kingdom and destroyed in the war.

However, there is no shortage of talents in construction, whether it is Jiankang or Jingfu in Jiangdong in the early years, or Luoyang and Chang'an New Town, Xingtai has accumulated rich experience in construction and reserves a large number of qualified craftsmen. Even in the Luoyang Institute of Engineering, such a professional course has been opened, which can continuously cultivate and provide talents in planning and construction.

As the situation in Hebei becomes more and more stable, the villagers will continue to donate money and goods to this place, so they have the confidence to make a one-year appointment to the general.

As long as the supply of materials can be guaranteed, Gu Chang believes that the new city will appear on the land of Hebei in the near future, and become the regional center of Hebei.

This new Assassin's Mansion is also simple, but all the Hebei villagers who were invited here did not dare to be contemptuous, and they all rushed here as soon as they were invited. The general didn't arrive until after noon, and a group of people scattered in the garden of the Thorn Shifu to exchange ideas for a while.

"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for more than a month, what is it like in your body? I heard that your house opened a new workshop at the beginning of the year, and the supply of new kiln bricks and tiles exceeds the demand......"

When a group of villagers met, the topic naturally turned to the livelihood of each family, either envious or humble, and the atmosphere was also very warm.

Last year, when Wang Shi recovered Yedi, it was already after the summer, and although a batch of autumn wheat was urgently sown, it was still not enough to meet the huge food shortage. Although Wang Shi has abundant resources, they are all important strategic materials, and they cannot be misappropriated at will to help the villagers.

In order to ensure the stability of the people's livelihood in the realm, General Shen adopted the practice of cash-for-work and remuneration here. Through the materials mastered by Wang Shi, the cultivated land and shade of the villagers were replaced.

Of course, theoretically speaking, even if the king forcibly seized their land and population, these villagers would have no way to resist, but it was certain that they would cause serious riots, and it was not conducive to returning to stability and governance as soon as possible. Although Xingtai was reluctant to directly grant political status to these villagers, it also needed to use their faces to organize villagers into production.

Although land and population are the foundation of the gateway of the township tyrants, in the current drastic changes in Hebei, the two resources in the hands of the township tyrants not only cannot bring them actual benefits, but may attract the disaster of the clan.

Now under the strong posture of Wang Shi, he is still willing to provide them with a channel for realization, and the means are thousands of times milder than that of the Qiang State, so few villagers refuse, and they smoothly carry out the exchange of resources, and realize the land and population in their hands into goods and food.

After completing this round of replacement, Wang Shi began to build again, and Dingcang came forward to redeploy various resources such as mines, kilns, mountains, and forests through bidding. The money and grain that had been invested before were turned around in the hands of the villagers and returned to the warehouse again, and the new order in Yedi had been basically formed and stabilized.

Although the means are not complicated, this is based on the super administrative ability and super credit endorsement of Xingtai, and it will not be possible to play it in any way. Wealth is like flowing water, only when it flows, can more people be benefited, and if you blindly hoard and do not give alms, no matter how much wealth you have, it is just a pile of dead things.

Even if Xingtai wants to develop the minerals, mountains and forests and other resources owned by Yedi, he does not have enough energy to delegate the development rights to the villagers through transactions, and the villagers then come forward to recruit and organize the villagers to develop and produce, and the bricks, tiles, wood and stone and other goods are purchased by Wang Shi, so that the situation is completely revitalized.

In this way, Xingtai will not only harvest a stable Ye land, but also gather the land and people scattered in the hands of the villagers for unified scheduling, and when spring comes, large-scale reclamation can be organized.

For these villagers in Hebei, the current way of survival is also very satisfying to them. Even if they controlled the population and land, the harvest from the land was seasonal, and the cycle was too long.

But now, they take advantage of the financial resources in their hands, under the coordination of Dingcang and other subordinate institutions of the company, open a workshop, and the materials produced are directly purchased by Wang Shi, so it can be said that as long as they are diligent, they will continue to harvest.

Of course, in this process, some people are more courageous and have more confidence in Xingtai, and they will continue to invest in the expansion of production scale whenever there is a harvest.

So carved by the villagers in the middle of the many compliments Wang surnamed Xianghao, originally in Yedi is just a small dock wall owner, last autumn by the Dingcang bid for two abandoned kilns, heavy money to hire Wang Shi logistics team in the craftsman to change the waste kiln into a brick kiln, and just in time for the construction of Yecheng, a steady stream of production, a steady stream of new development, to now have 17 brick kilns in hand, just rely on its livelihood of the villagers as many as two or three thousand people.

was originally an inconspicuous village tyrant, but his identity and status have been reversed in just a few months, and he has become a guest in the Assassin's Mansion, which is really enviable.

And there are more people, either who have too strong a sense of danger, or lack confidence in Xingtai, although they have also exchanged land and shade for money and grain, but they are just hoarding and preparing for grain in a famine year. But just this step behind, you can only look up to the rise of other township tyrants and upstarts, and then want to catch up, you have lost the opportunity, only to end up sitting on a mountain empty.

Its implementation station still has a lot of protection for these villagers, and it has not aggressively attracted Henan private capital into Yedi. Otherwise, once the capital from Heluo pours in, there are thousands of ways to suppress these local villagers with strong capital, and they can only be reduced to cheap labor.

After all, Heluo has been in rule for a long time, and the industrial and commercial industries have been very prosperous, and the corresponding labor is also increasing sharply. In war-torn areas like Yedi, the people don't even have the concept of wages, and a strong man in his prime only needs to ensure that he can have something to eat, and he can work hard every day.

The goods produced here, even if the cost of freight is removed, can still be lucrative when transported to Heluo and other places. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Wang Shi's army were stationed in Hebei, which was enough to maintain a stable business environment. There are many rich and wealthy people in Heluo, but they lack the way to make money, and they are full of confidence in Xingtai.

After all, Yedi had already established its status as the center of Hebei during the Three Kingdoms period, and Xingtai had no intention of abandoning it, and once it recovered, it would be the premier Dayi of Hebei.

Everyone was still chatting, Zhang Tan and Gu Chang walked into the garden together, and after Zhang Tan introduced Gu Chang to everyone, these invited villagers were all full of enthusiasm.

Gu Chang is no stranger to this scene, before he came to Hebei, he had already transferred to various places in Jiangdong, and he had accumulated a lot of experience, and soon talked and laughed with the villagers.

After some chat, Gu Chang was pleased to find that although Yedi was only newly restored, the foundation of the governance was actually much better than that of Jiangdong. In fact, the most troublesome and stubborn places are those who control a large amount of land and people.

These people are well-banked, and they can form their own system without communicating with the outside world, and they do not pay much attention to the decrees of the state and county governments, and some of them can even be so strong as to refuse the state and county decrees to enter their private territory.

Although Gu Chang is a civil official, he is also ruthless, in the old years, he lived in Changsha, in order to push the administrative order, he directly asked the Jingzhou Assassin Mansion to invite thousands of state soldiers, and in one day, he broke the manor in more than a dozen places, and tried nearly 100 thieves who violated the law, including even the descendants of Tao Kan, the prince of Changsha County. It is precisely because of both elegance and fierceness that he was selected by the villagers to be sent to the position of Weizhou Thorn History.

However, through some communication with the villagers, Gu Chang learned that the foundation of Weizhou is very good, and most of the villagers are engaged in industry and commerce. As long as it is from industry and commerce, it needs to exchange trade with the outside world, and it must be restricted by the state decree.

For example, the owner of the big brick kiln, the Wang family, although he has strong financial resources, if he really sees the evil in the Assassin Mansion, Gu Chang only needs to cut off the purchase of his family, and no matter how big the family business is, it will collapse. Of course, this will inevitably have a bad impact, so the most appropriate way for both parties to get along is to respect each other and benefit each other.

"The name of the prince has not yet entered the country, and I have heard it early. can perceive Wang Yi, bravely be the first in the countryside, and have a commendable courage! ”

Gu Chang pointed at the villagers and praised them with a smile, then looked around at everyone and said: "There are all of you present, all of whom are leaders in the township, pioneers in all industries, benefiting the family and the people, and benefiting the country and yourself. Wang Dao sows and governs here, the old troubles no longer exist, and the general bears great righteousness, not only to kill the thief Hu and save Shenzhou, but also to hope that the people of the north and south will have a new life and live and work in peace and contentment. In addition to reviving the rule system, I also want to let the people under my rule prosper, widows and lonely people can bathe in the king's grace, no more hunger and cold, and enjoy happiness forever. ”

When everyone heard this, they naturally applauded and cheered. Soon after, the officers and men of the Shengwu Army entered the police house, and then the general entered the palace proudly.
