The first thing I did after returning to the county government office was of course meeting Yue Ji. Going out for more than two months is neither long nor short, but for the couple, it is already a long time.

.

After telling the large row of civil servants and soldiers behind him to rest, he walked into the backyard alone.

There were already two rows of maids waiting to welcome Zeng Yu in the backyard. As soon as Zeng Yu walked in, they all smiled and bowed and shouted: "Congratulations to the master on your victory!"

Immediately, the sound of warblers and swallows spread lively in the courtyard, and the maids gathered around, asking about the master's heroic deeds...

Zeng Yu was a little dazed by the scene in front of her. It seemed that she had only seen this kind of scene on TV a long time ago, but she never thought that one day she would experience it in person! What a wonderful life!

"Mr. Lang!" A cry awakened the memory, and a person came across from the opposite side, but when he saw that person's eyebrows were furrowed and he was smiling brightly, who could he be if he wasn't Yue Ji?

Qianying trotted over, carrying the fragrant breeze, and got into Zeng Yu's arms.

The maids on both sides realized what was going on, picked up their skirts, bowed and retreated.

The two people who have not seen each other for a long time join hands and enter the house together, inevitably the general will conquer him again for a night!

The next morning, Zeng Yu woke up feeling refreshed, said goodbye to his wife, and started busy with various affairs again.

At this time, only Tian Buwei, Ming Jing, and Si Wuxie were waiting in the yamen porterhouse. The others all held military positions. Even Wang Han also served as the first battalion of Qingzhou soldiers. They should all be there at this time.

Inside the military camp.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines in from the window. The summer in Liangzhou is still relatively mild, and the cool breeze comes with it, which is very refreshing.

"What happened to Cheng Ji recently?" Zeng Yu looked at the three people in front of him, but found that there were beads of sweat on Si Wuxie's head. Although it was summer, it was still quite cool this morning. Why did he sweat so much?

What about cold sweat?

Zeng Yu glanced at him, and Si Wuxie quickly stepped forward and said, "Wu Xie was blind and mistrusted people, causing the lord to suffer losses. It is an unforgivable crime!"

After speaking, he knelt down. As Zeng Yu's status rose higher and higher, Si Wuxie, a subordinate, only had a sense of awe.

Oh, by the way, the rabbit is his little friend. Zeng Yu immediately understood what Si Wuxie was thinking, and said with a smile: "We are not going to join forces here! Wuxie, why are you nervous? Get up quickly! Is it possible?

Do you still need me to go down and help you?"

Si Wuxie stood up quietly, her face became a little better, she looked at Zeng Yu with gratitude in her eyes, raised her hands and said, "Thank you, lord!"

Zeng Yu waved the matter away and signaled Tian Buwei to come forward and report the situation.

Tian Buwei stepped forward and reported: "Every town and village has built a fortress according to the Lord's instructions, and it is time to garrison troops."

As the main city of Huce Mansion, Chengji's defense is the first priority. Now that the fortress is completed, it can interact with the main city and its safety will be guaranteed.

"Yeah!" Zeng Yu nodded, indicating for him to continue.

Tian Buwei continued: "The reclamation rate of wasteland in Chengji has reached 90%. With the prosperity of public security here and the reputation of the lord, the gentry and landlords from all over the country have taken over most of the fields. The lord came yesterday with those who fled from foreign lands.

The fields that people talk about, I'm afraid..."

Zeng Yu waved his hand, disapprovingly: "The other counties we own now are all large areas of wasteland. It's just right to grant those lands to people from other lands!"

Tian Buwei continued: "The situation in Tianshui County has been stabilized. Many wealthy gentry have come to the county government to express their intention to go to other counties to support our development! What do you think, my lord?"

Zeng Yu's eyes lit up. Isn't there a shortage of rich people to open up wasteland? He smiled and said: "This is a good thing! People are attached to them! We should increase support for some relatively large gentry! Let them increase more investment.

!Those counties are nothing but land! They are all barren, just waiting for them to open up wasteland!"

Tian Buwei pondered for a moment and said something that was not conducive to the local gentry, "My lord, it's just that the sons of the gentry have been robbing women and bullying the people in Chengji territory recently! And there are many rural farmers who have been fooled by them.

I have to lose my life! If this momentum goes to other places and acquires a large amount of land, I am afraid it will be even more arrogant!"

After listening to this, Zeng Yu's face suddenly darkened. He was full of food and lustful, the ancients would not deceive me! Not only did Rabbit dare to ignore the law as a county magistrate, but also the noble gentry below.

But at this time, the support of the tycoons is needed. Land development in various places requires a lot of money and population. Where do these come from? Isn't it just taken out of the pockets of the tycoons?

However, distributing land to them in this way only increases their arrogance, which is not good for the rule.

Zeng Yu quickly turned his head, thought for a while, and asked: "Is this true for every family? Does the Kuman'er family have such a problem?"

He immediately thought of his father-in-law's family. If the father-in-law's family also had this problem, then this would be a big deal!

Whatever you are afraid of, come and do it. Although Tian Buwei did not dare to offend the Ku family, when the master asked him this, Tian Buwei said frankly: "It is the cousin of the Ku family who is the leader, and the children of each family dare to be so unscrupulous!"

Zeng Yu looked at Tian Buwei with a somewhat ugly face. Thinking about it, these wealthy gentry's children brought a lot of trouble to Tian Buwei. Ren Chengji's county magistrate was not a good position. Zeng Yu started his career from here. Many wealthy gentry were related to Zeng Yu.

Yu has countless connections. If a family commits a crime, they have to ask Zeng Yu to deal with it. Moreover, there are many families this time, and they are all headed by the cousin of the Ku family.

Now that there are signs of this kind of thing, it must be solved with thunderous means. Otherwise, the internal affairs of a county will be completely ruined in the hands of these princes, and the decree cannot be implemented! Cousin? Not a relative? It is better to have surgery!

Zeng Yu thought for a while and then asked: "Is the current county captain still Li Hui?"

Tian Buwei nodded and said, "It's still him, but Cheng Ji is usually a soldier maintaining law and order, so Li Hui just has a title and usually stays at home to take care of his ninety-year-old mother."

Zeng Yu said: "Well, the county captain will let my guard captain Wang Han work for a while. He should be able to solve these messy things. Li Hui will give him some money and let him enjoy his old age with the old lady!"

Tian Buwei responded: "Okay, I will take care of these things in a while."

Zeng Yu called another personal guard, "Go and get the cousin from Ku Man'er's house."

"No!" The bodyguard accepted the order and came out.

Tian Buwei had nothing major to do here. Si Wuxie, who was in charge of the operation of military rations, stepped forward to report: "My lord, the military rations have been somewhat insufficient recently. Although we have Lian County to solve the problem of mounts' food and fodder, the soldiers' rations are still temporarily lacking."

, I’m afraid it can only last a month.”

Zeng Yu also thought about this problem. After many expeditions, the consumption of food and grass must have doubled. Now there are 45,000 more Qingzhou soldiers, who are even bigger food eaters.

We can only rely on the gentry to raise funds for this, otherwise it will not be fun to cause a mutiny.
Chapter completed!
