Qingzhou City suddenly became lively. Although the county towns were large in the past, they were like a large cage. The markets held countless people in it, and worked hard to exchange for a bite of food. Only a small number of people could truly live freely in the city. These people were basically the families of the elite troops that Lu must take away, the relatives of the county officials, and some well-known merchants. So although there were many people, the real lively was limited to a few places.

But now it is different. The markets are opened one by one, and everyone can walk freely. Many unrestrained villagers walked out of the small market where they had lived for several years for the first time. They opened their eyes wide and looked at the completely different Qingzhou County City with their eyes strangely.

The Qin flag flying high above the city was gone, and was replaced by the Ming Dynasty's sun and moon flag. The Qingzhou soldiers wearing yellow leather armor were no longer patrolling the streets, but teams of Ming soldiers wearing black armor, lined up in neat rows and walked in the streets and alleys.

In the stores on the street, the dazzling array of goods was blurred by the eyes. On the street, there were endless carriages, unloading trucks of goods and transporting them into stores. The waiters stood at the door of the store, shouting loudly, showing off the benefits and cheapness of their goods.

Qingzhou County is now full of business opportunities. Thousands of villagers have gained freedom, they have become free people, and at the same time, they have received a considerable severance payment. Whether they want to settle down in the city or return to their hometown, these all-inclusive goods are what they urgently need.

Ying Bo helped his old father out of a clinic. In fact, his old father was not seriously ill, but caused by fatigue and hunger. The old man felt very sorry for his two grandchildren. He usually had a bite and tried his best to save for his two grandchildren to eat. He couldn't help but eat less. He was engaged in a laborious work. After a while, he finally got overworked and fell down. However, now their family has opened up to see the blue sky. The Ying family and his son are both craftsmen with extremely rough craftsmen, and they are innocent, with both wives and children. Such people are the kind of craftsmen that the Ming government likes the most. So Ying Bo was selected by Lin and will leave Qingzhou City soon to Kaiping County.

Both of them are skilled craftsmen, and their monthly salary is ten taels of silver. The father and son can get twenty taels of silver in two months, and two hundred and forty taels a year. This is completely an astronomical figure for the Ying family. I never thought that they could earn such a high salary. This money is enough to allow them to live a rich life.

The family has no nostalgia for Qingzhou City. All they have left here is a painful memory. If the old man had not recovered, Ying Bo would have wished he would have carried the package immediately and left.

The wife stood at the entrance of the clinic with her two children. Each of them was holding a string of grain gourds in her hands, and was licking them carefully bit by bit. It was the first time she had eaten this thing, which cost ten cents a bunch. If it were before, she wouldn't have been able to bear it, but now it can only be considered a small amount of money.

The Ying family was penniless. After discussing the wages with officials from the Ming Dynasty, Ying Bo tentatively said that he wanted to withdraw his salary for one month first. However, he did not expect that the official took out the money on the spot with great pride. He just asked Ying Bo to press a handprint on this booklet, and Ying Bo was illiterate. The money he got was not the copper coins or silver patterns that Ying Bo remembered, but a thin stack of paper. He was a little suspicious, but when he walked out of the market, he saw that everyone in Qingzhou used this kind of paper when buying and selling goods.

In fact, Qingzhou City has used this currency issued by the Ming Dynasty for several years. Lu Zheng had extremely frequent trade deals with Kaiping County of Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty currency had long silently replaced the Qin currency that was originally commonly used in Qingzhou County. However, craftsmen like Yingbo were detained in the market and had no chance to contact the outside world. So they didn't know what this thing was.

"Are Dad okay?" the woman asked softly.

"It's okay, it's just that your body is in deficit. If you make up for it, you'll be back." Ying Bo looked at his wife happily: "I've gone to Kaiping County, you won't have to come out to do things in the future. Just take care of two dolls at home."

A woman had suffered a lot with him in the past. She had to work like him during the day, and had to do housework when she went home at night. In the future, she would have twenty taels of silver at home. How could she still need women to work?

The woman was also very happy and nodded repeatedly. She felt that life suddenly became brighter and became extremely prosperous.

The family didn't buy anything, so they were about to set off for Kaiping County. I heard that there was much more prosperous than Qingzhou City. Where did the things here come from? Wherever they arrived, they could naturally buy them again. Now Ying Bo wants to set off immediately. You know, there are several families like him in the yard, who have been away with the officials of the Ming Kingdom for several days, and he has to wait for the second batch to set off.

Good days are waiting for you!

He felt happy.

Everyone in the city was very busy, and the busiest one was undoubtedly Han Kun. As the first county magistrate of Qingzhou appointed by the Ming Dynasty court, he wished he could turn himself into three heads and six arms, and handle everything in front of him perfectly, so that the Emperor and the Political Affairs Hall of the Ming Dynasty realized their abilities.

He is indeed a capable person. Lu must have led the army well, but his governance is not very good. Han Kun handled the government affairs of Qingzhou County before, and the emergence of those markets was one of Han Kun's great inventions. In order to exchange for a greater degree of income as much as possible, Han Kun created these closed markets that year, and managed these villagers by managing the army, allowing them to create countless materials and weapons for the Qingzhou army.

It is his top priority to stabilize Qingzhou County. In fact, stabilizing Qingzhou County is equivalent to stabilizing the entire Qingzhou County. It is because except for Qingzhou County and its surrounding areas, there are no people in the entire Qingzhou County.

The first step is of course the army. Lu Ding's elite troops left, but there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the county and surrounding military garrisons.

The Ming Dynasty did not send too many troops into the county town, and did not want to stimulate the army in the city too much. From the Qingzhou County City decided to surrender to the present, the Ming Dynasty sent the army in the city, but only more than a thousand people, but many officials of various types were sent to assist Han Kun in handling various affairs.

To stabilize the army, it is better to let them put down their weapons. Han Kun's first step was to select a group of reliable people as his confidants, and then start to dismiss these troops one by one. Each soldier can receive generous severance payments. According to the years of enlistment, the longer the severance payments, the more money it will be. Even if he was recruited this year, there will be 10 taels of silver for severance payments.

The second step to dismissal is resettlement. Qingzhou County now has a lot of land, and Qingzhou has a hundred miles of prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. Han Kun wrote a big pen and everyone who is willing to return home can get 100 acres of land, land deeds and documents, and the county government handles it on the spot.

If you have money and land to plant, most of the dismissed soldiers immediately took the silver and took these land deeds and happily left the city and returned home.

Even those who were unwilling to go back to their hometowns, the government prepared a second set of methods. Countless local merchants in Qingzhou and merchants from the Ming Dynasty called for jobs to recruit workers on the streets. As long as they went to work, they could sign contracts in black and white and gather dozens of people. The owners of these merchants would take them out of the city to sell goods or buy goods back. In short, during this period, these former soldiers must leave the county town and disperse them as much as possible.

Every day, some soldiers would leave the county town and walk on the road to return home, and Han Kun's heart would be more and more stable. The Ming army entering the city was getting more and more, and the city was basically under the full control of the Ming army. Even if he wanted to cause trouble now, Han Kun was no longer afraid.

In order to disperse these soldiers stationed in the city as much as possible, Han Kun was considered a surprise plan, and even the merchants from both places were perfectly used by him. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingzhou County were resolved invisibly, making this huge hidden danger no longer exist. This ability made Chen Zhihua amazed. You must know that in this process, he and his army were always watching here nervously. Once things go wrong, the Ming army would march straight in. However, in this way, they would inevitably kill people, which was not a good thing for Qingzhou County, which was already sparsely populated.

Influenced by Qin Feng, local ministers of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the population, and only those who could create everything. Many border officials in the Ming Dynasty suffered from shortage of people, and Chen Zhihua was one of them. Kaiping County was tortured by the Qin people, so there were only three or two big cats left. After he entered Kaiping County, he had a difficult time. Similarly, the current Taoyuan County Governor Ben Kuan, the dignified border official, personally went to Hulao Pass to recruit people, which shows how shortage there was.

These tens of thousands of troops will be the cornerstone of Qingzhou's revival in the future!

After dealing with the city, Han Kun then turned his attention to the military garrison sites outside the city. Unlike the city, the military garrison sites were military fortresses. Each military garrison was stationed with an army of less than a thousand people, as well as four or five thousand people. It was much harder to convince them than to persuade the soldiers in the city.
