Dao Hong and Jian Dong smiled happily and immediately conveyed their master's order.

After talking about family matters, we started talking about official business and current affairs, just in time to concentrate on the news we just received.

"Master, the mistress has sent a lot of talents and provisions this time. I have already arranged for them to be settled. The list of vacancies is here. If you have time, please take a look."

Every time Song Xi conquers a piece of territory, Yu Yalan will routinely send a batch of materials and talents.

The two civil and military academies have been established for so many years and have trained countless outstanding students.

Most students are willing to serve at Liuhe Villa, and even follow the Song family as their lifelong goals. They have natural worship and loyalty to the Song family, and firmly believe that the master and his wife are the gods who save all people from fire and water!

The couple is also happy to employ talents from the Civil and Military Academy. After all, their intellectual literacy is extremely high and just meets their needs. Their ideological concepts can also keep up with the couple's advanced pace. They are an indispensable and important force for the Song family to create a prosperous era.

"Okay, after I finish handling the matters at hand, I will arrange them in appropriate positions. Let them familiarize themselves with the environment of the capital in the past few days. Those who need to accommodate their family members can report in advance. There are as many official residences in the capital as needed.

Anything below level 4 can be used for emergency temporary accommodation.”

After Emperor Longhe moved the capital, he took away 90% of the officials, leaving the official residence area in the north of the city empty.

These official residences have always been managed by the imperial court, and will be given to officials of corresponding grades whenever they are promoted, appointed or dismissed.

Beijing officials of rank five or above can get a suitable residence. They must move out immediately after resigning or being dismissed. The new replacement will move in directly. Those who do not want to live in can also buy a house elsewhere.

The official who lives in the house must be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the house. If he wants to demolish and rebuild the house, he must obtain the permission of the court.

The costs of building and repairing the houses are borne by the officials themselves, and the furniture and utensils in the house are also the private property of the officials.

Not only the official residences in the north of the city are vacant in the capital, but the east of the city where the powerful and powerful are gathered is also deserted and depressed.

The former Dingbei Marquis Mansion was located here, and various marquises and princes also placed their residences here. The land deeds of the houses in the east of the city belong to each family's private property, unlike the official residences in the north of the city, which are controlled by the court.

Unless there is a catastrophe such as confiscation, execution or genocide, these house title deeds can be passed down from generation to generation.

Now the entire capital is Song Xi's territory, and both the east and north of the city will be managed and managed by the Song family.

Official residences below the fourth rank are used to house one's subordinates, which is a reasonable and appropriate arrangement.

Even if the owner of the house returns, he cannot protest or take it back. Even the house title deed will be re-processed by the Song family. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been completely wiped out from this land, and everything in the capital will be completely dominated by the Song family!

Of course, what Song Xi confiscated was limited to the land and property of the imperial court and the powerful, and ordinary people would not be affected in any way.

Even if the local merchants take advantage of the situation and temporarily flee, Song Xi will not occupy their houses or private property.

All the people in the capital can live their lives as usual. As long as they abide by the law and behave peacefully, the soldiers and generals of the Song family will not embarrass or bully any civilians.

Jian Dong and Dao Hong nodded and then talked about a few special things.

"The Song Family Army cleaned up Tianlao and Zhao Prison. Prisoners with confirmed crimes continue to be detained to serve their sentences. We met several officials who were wrongly imprisoned in Zhao Prison. They have been released and military doctors have been sent to help treat them. They are all former

Another general who is close to the old marquis is He Yu, the former minister of the Ministry of War."

"Master, what should we do with these old officials of the Zhou Dynasty? Emperor Longhe deposed them all and confiscated their homes. So should we return the official residence to them? Or should we give them another sum of money to return home or settle down to help them first?

Survive this difficult time?”

It seems that they were all implicated by the Song family, and their homes were confiscated and imprisoned in order to help Dingbei Hou redress his injustice.

The Song family certainly cannot ignore it, but it is up to the master to decide how to take care of it.

Song Xi frowned when he heard this, and asked with concern: "How are their physical conditions? Have they been tortured in prison? You first find a few houses to settle them well, and I will visit them in person tomorrow.

How to arrange it after that depends on their own wishes, and I will make a decision based on the specific situation at that time."

Jian Dong nodded understandingly, thought about it, and said: "He Yu's injury is not serious, but he is weak and infected with wind and cold. The military doctor has prescribed a decoction to treat the injury and illness, saying that he will be well after a few days of recovery.

"

"The remaining veterans are old and have suffered a lot in prison. They are all lying in bed and recuperating in a daze. Judging from the situation, they should not be able to go to the battlefield again. They will have to be taken care of carefully and carefully in the future.

"

Song Xi frowned and pursed her lips in thought for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.

"You allocate 50,000 taels of silver from your account and go to the south of the city to buy a few houses with three entrances. The furniture and utensils are also well-purchased. In a few days, let them live in them with their families. Each family will give

Three thousand taels of silver and a shop are provided. If there are other difficulties, we can help."

Several senior generals are close friends of the Hou family, and people who value love and justice should not end up in such a miserable end.

Song Xi must repay his past kindness and not let his father's old friends feel disappointed.

"Yes." Jian Dong and Dao Hong accepted the order with clasped fists, and then picked out two letters from several letters.

"Master, Anton's capital commander Liang Ji and Dingyuan General Cheng Feihu each sent a letter, saying that they want to join your command. These two people have some old friends with the old marquis, and they plan to come in person in a few days.

I’m visiting you in the capital. Should we send a reply to each other? Without your handwriting, I’m afraid they won’t be able to pass the checkpoint.”

Anton is located in the northeastern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and belongs to neighboring provinces bordering Beizhi.

The commander of the capital, Liang Ji, did have an old relationship with Song's father. He had received life-saving grace from Dingbei Marquis. Although he did not help Song's father when he was in trouble, he was beyond his reach due to the geographical barrier.

It seems reasonable and worldly to want to resume contact with the Song family now, but it will take time and investigation to verify how genuine this belated affection is.

Dingyuan General Cheng Feihu was Song's father's personal disciple, and he had been stationed in Andong to guard the border many years ago.

Due to the imperial order that the general was not allowed to leave his post without authorization, and the news was delayed, it was impossible to rescue him in time. When Cheng Feihu learned that his master had been confiscated and his family was exterminated, Song Xi had already fled to the northwest and lost his whereabouts. He wanted to seek revenge or reverse the case, but he was unable to investigate.

I can only grit my teeth and hide my blood debt in my heart for the time being.
