Chapter 126 Qu Shi (first order)

In fact, what Zhao Xian said is right, the current Li Wenhou is no longer the former Li Wenhou, mainly because of his fame.

In the past, he was just one of the leaders of Yi Cong in Huangzhong. Many tyrants and chieftains may be in awe, but they will not respect him sincerely.

This time it was different when he came back. Not only did he lead an army of 10,000+, he even rushed directly to the city of Chang'an.

Facing the three armies of the imperial court, he was even able to destroy one of them. In the end, the imperial court took the initiative to appease and pardon his crimes, and made him the prefect of Jincheng, and at the same time he was also the captain of Xihu Qiang.

(Although Li Yao did many things, the person who actually ordered it was Li Wenhou, so part of Li Yao's credit will be credited to Li Wenhou.)
These many deeds are enough to make people feel frightened, so when he led his troops back to Yunwu, all the Cao Caos in the county were respectful.

Even Han Yue's death, no one really cared, at most it was just a question.

They were all relieved to be sure that they were not killed by Li Wenhou.

Zhao Xian was in charge of resettling the common people. He first called Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze over, and obtained the register of common people's household registration from them.

Although there are 1 to [-] people here, there are actually only more than [-] households, because a household is a family, and a family usually has many people.

In a short period of time, a place was selected for all the people, either in Yunwu, or in Anyi, Poqiang, Linqiang and other places.

I want these people to really take root. They need a house, which is a place to live, and land, which is a source of food.

According to Zhao Xian's intention, first build shacks for the people, and then the local county government provides seeds, agricultural tools, and cattle to dig up the land and plant the seeds.

When the farming is slack, build houses for the common people, after all, they still have to do it themselves.

There is no problem with the method and idea, even the food. Now there are 18 shi of food. As long as you save some and mix it with wild vegetables and wild fruits, you can fully support these people and wait until the autumn harvest.

But there is still a problem in the process, which is to ensure that officials from the top to the bottom can truly abide by the law and not embezzle food or bully the people.

Jincheng is very big, so many officials are needed to manage it, and they cannot replace all of them at once.

For the time being, it can only be used as it is. If something really happens, just kill it to quell public grievances.

But before that, there was still a need to intimidate them, so the tens of thousands of people were all Li Wenhou, and Li Yao and his son led the army and escorted them to various places.

Every time they arrive in a city, let the officials, big and small, take the initiative to go out of the city to meet in the army.

Now in the army, there are veterans who have survived the battlefield, and they are full of murderous looks. When these officials came to see them, they were all frightened and their legs went weak.

Then Li Wenhou directly ordered:
If these people settle down smoothly, you will have credit. If you fail to settle down, then think about how many heads you have on your neck, whether it is enough for the tens of thousands of troops to chop off!
Usually at this time, the other party keeps nodding, and then guarantees that the people will settle down.

Li Wenhou was not joking, he really knows how to kill and behead, and it doesn't matter who the opponent is!

After such intimidation, I believe that these officials will do things seriously, and they will not dare to embezzle food or bully the people easily.

Of course, this time, they didn't just intimidate the officials, they also frightened the local tycoons.

Therefore, along the Huangshui all the way upstream, as long as there is a place where the local tycoons are, the army will stop specifically, whether it is to show off its power or threaten it.

But the goal has been achieved, and the big tycoons in these places can only passively accept the extra sky above their heads.

There is a mix of Qiang and Han in Jincheng, and the strong are always respected. Whoever has a high status and big fists will be listened to.

The current Li Wenhou not only has a high status, but also has big fists. The tycoons in these places will naturally be obedient.

Their obedience is reflected in two aspects. One is to report the amount of arable land, and the amount of arable land will be handed in as much food in the future;

This is fine, as long as they are not slaughtered, there is no reason to refuse their overtures.

Not everyone can be a follower these days, they are all the children of the clan or the villagers, otherwise they are not worthy of trust.

And on this day, they arrived at Xiping Pavilion!
The local Dahao in Xipingting is the Qu family, who came to Huangzhong during the former Han Dynasty, and then gradually took root and developed until now.

Compared with them, the Li family is like a nouveau riche, but now that the nouveau riche has gained power, even the Qu family cannot be underestimated.

Banners cover the sky, crowds of people!
Now in the hands of Li Wenhou, there are still [-] troops, private soldiers from the clan, recruits from Jincheng, civilian husbands, servants... jointly formed.

They are all veterans on the battlefield, but their aura is different, fierce from the inside out.

The most powerful armed force of the Qu Clan has followed Qu Yi to the Kanto, but has not yet returned.

Therefore, Mrs. Qu had no room to resist, and very cleverly came to see him, since the two sides were not hostile after all.

One of the leaders, an old man, respectfully saluted and said:
"Old man Quzhen, the head of the Xiping Qu family has met the Fujun and Xiaolangjun!"

Li Yao looked at this old man, of course he knew him, Qu Yi's father, Qu Zhen, the head of the Qu clan.

But at this time, Li Yao didn't take the initiative to speak up. This involves their Li family's interests in Jincheng. No matter the Qu family or the big tycoons in other places, they must treat them equally.

Li Wenhou glanced at his son, then withdrew his gaze, and said directly in a deep voice:

"Actually, we are also neighbors, so I won't talk too much nonsense. My master Koji also understands. I believe you have already made a decision!"

Seeing Li Yao's expressionless face, Qu Zhen knew that if he wanted to rely on this friendship, he might not be able to exchange for the other party's mercy.

Although he was a little disappointed, he looked up at the other party a few times. Only by not being moved by emotions can he achieve great things. Finally, Koji nodded and said:
"In the future, the Xiping Qu family will be the leader of the government. The account books of the cultivated land and the roster of tenants can be checked by the government. The food should be paid as much as it should be, and the number of people should be sent as much as it needs..."

Even a century-old clan has to bow its head in the face of the danger of ruining its family. The Qu family is powerful, but the Li family is even stronger. The Qu family has good friends with many powerful Qiang chieftains, but the Li family also has good friends with many powerful Qiang chieftains...

Qu Zhen had no choice but to bow his head. They couldn't fight if they wanted to fight, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. There was no other choice but to bow their heads.

But depending on the other party is not a kind of investment. After all, they are all villagers and have the same interests.

Li Wenhou was very happy and took the initiative to pull the other party up. He smiled and said loudly:

"That's right, if I rule Liangzhou in the future, your benefits will be indispensable!"

Qu Zhen's smile was a bit forced, they didn't want to dominate Liangzhou, they always wanted to return to the plains.

That is their ancestral land!

 I also want to write more, but I really don't have the ability...
