Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 30 Controlling Liaodong
Zhang Ming's army blocked Xiangping City for three days.

During these three days, Zhang Ming cleaned up all the participating families.

The money seized exceeded one million copper coins, plus a large amount of land and property.

It can be said that Zhang Ming has actually controlled more than [-]% of the resources in Liaodong.

On this day, Zhang Ming held a meeting again in Liaodong Taishou Mansion.

Not many people came, only Zhang Ming's four cronies and two sworn brothers.

"Where are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

"Subordinates are here."

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Zhang Ming call their names directly, they knew it was a very formal matter.

"Now you and the other two are appointed as Lieutenants of Liaodong, in charge of all military affairs in Liaodong. You and the other two need to prepare the army for war, and all supplies will be allocated immediately."

"Subordinates take orders."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very excited. This is the school captain. Zhang Ming has the power to appoint here without the permission of the court, which is very convenient.

"Where is Chen Yang?"

"Subordinates are here."

"Appoint you as Bie Jia, temporarily in charge of all government affairs in Liaodong. Your task is to immediately arrange officials at all levels, and select county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants and other positions to make the whole Liaodong things work."

"Subordinates take orders."

Chen Yang was excited, and immediately became the second in command in government affairs. Besides Zhang Ming, he was the oldest.

"Liu Gen, Liu Daneng."

"Subordinates are here."

"Promote you both to be county magistrates, but you don't have to take up the post. You will still assist Guan Xiaowei and Zhang Xiaowei in recruiting and training troops."

Liu Daneng and Liu Gen were overjoyed, the two of them were ordinary soldiers, and now they were directly promoted to county lieutenants.

Zhang Ming gave them official positions, but only in vain. If they were not allowed to take up the post, they would not be able to be that official. They continued to train soldiers in the army.

"Pillar."

"Subordinates are here."

"You have also been promoted to county lieutenant. Your task is to organize spies to find out all the news in Liaodong, and send out scouts to pay attention to the enemy's movements on the northern grassland."

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

Zhang Ming allocated all the things in Liaodong so simply.

The matter is not complicated, and the appointment is very simple.

He doesn't have many talents under his command, and now he has offended all the Liaodong families, and many of the original bureaucratic systems cannot be used.

"I want to issue the first decree, ordering all the families to hand over all the land within a time limit. We will buy all the land at the market price, within a month. If it exceeds one month, you will bear the consequences."

"The second decree is to distribute the land to the common people. A strong man is divided into five acres of good land or ten acres of land. According to this standard, the remaining fields will be recruited from the outside world. All land cannot be bought or sold. If you want to sell it, only It can be sold to the government at the original price, and the government will take over the land and redistribute it.”

Zhang Ming issued two decrees, which were naturally difficult to carry out, so Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to do it.

In other words, tell them that it doesn't matter if they don't cooperate, and let the army take action directly, and you don't have to be polite at all.

Zhang Ming now has a lot of wealth confiscated from the aristocratic family, and plans to recruit 1 troops.

After mastering Liaodong, Xiangping City returned to calm.

Zhang Ming finally had time to deal with Zuo Feng's affairs.

Zuo Feng is still stranded in Liaodong now, and it was Zhang Ming who told him not to leave in a hurry, because the souvenirs he gave to the emperor and Zhang Rang hadn't been arranged yet.

"Grandfather Zuo, this is a carload of wine. I brewed it with the water I got from the Immortal. All of it is here. If I need more wine, I have to go to sea to find the immortal water."

Zhang Ming pulled a cart full of wine in clay pots, which was incomparable with Moutai Wuliangye, but the quantity was huge.

Of the dozen or so jars, each weighed twenty catties.

"Master Zhang has a heart, I believe His Majesty will know your loyalty, Mr. Zhang."

Then Zhang Ming took out two more gift boxes and said, "Here are two more gift boxes, which are for Mr. Zhang Rang and Mr. Zhao Zhong."

It was inconvenient for Zuo Feng to open what was inside, but he knew it was a good thing.

Then, Zhang Ming took another brocade box and said, "This is for Eunuch Zuo."

What was given to Zuo Feng was a palm-sized mirror. After Zuo Feng picked it up, he immediately burst into joy.

"Master Zhang, you are indeed a sensible person. After returning home, our family will definitely give you a few good words in front of His Majesty."

Zhang Ming nodded. He wasn't afraid that Zuo Feng and others would make trouble, but there was no need to offend him. Such people can still play a role sometimes.

Zhang Ming went on to say: "The mirror in my study, which is as tall as a person, is for His Majesty, but it is very easy to break. After a few months, I will make special arrangements and send it to Your Majesty."

"By the way, here are a few boxes of elixir refined by Immortal Boy. Although it can't be compared with elixir, it still has some effects. Take them back to His Majesty."

Zhang Ming gave Zuo Feng the Liuwei Dihuang Wan packed in a large glass jar, and Zhang Ming also wrote down the efficacy and usage.

Zuo Feng left happily. With the help of eunuchs and the trust of the emperor, Zhang Ming could do whatever he wanted in Liaodong.

After controlling Liaodong, Zhang Ming used the army to carry out administrative affairs, and everything went smoothly.

Most of the aristocratic families are unwilling to hand over the land, because it is their lifeblood.

But for those who are unwilling to sell, within a few days, bandits will kill their homes and plunder them.

Of course, in the end it was all Zhang Ming's.

After more than a month of implementation, Zhang Ming took back all the land in Liaodong and distributed it to the people.

After distributing to the people, there is still a lot of land in his hands, so Zhang Ming can only recruit refugees from outside.

After several months of development, various government affairs in Liaodong are going smoothly, and the army has already recruited 1 people and conducted effective training.

In the blink of an eye, the weather in Liaodong has improved a lot, at least there are no officials and aristocratic families disturbing the people.

Zhang Ming established two more schools to teach the textbooks he made himself.

On this day, Zhang Ming was going to receive an important guest in the prefect's mansion.

This person is Luo Quan, and at this time Luo Quan is already the number one merchant in Liaodong.

Of course, all of this is supported by Zhang Ming.

"Luo Quan pays his respects to the prefect."

Before Zhang Ming killed so many families, he was also afraid, but after a few months, the court has no intention of pursuing it at all. Not only did they not pursue it, but I heard that the emperor even sent a decree of commendation.

"Luo Quan, I want you to do a few things. First, go outside to buy a large amount of grain and sell it to me at a higher price. Second, I have a few good things here. You can help me sell them and exchange them all. Cheng food, third, try to bring some refugees back when you go out, I will count the money for you, and I also need to help spread the news, Liaodong accepts a large number of refugees."

"It's an honor to work for the prefect, how can I collect money?"

"Money must be collected so that it can continue. Of course, I won't let you make too much money."

"Report."

When Zhang Ming was discussing with Luo Quan, the pillars outside shouted loudly.

Something must have happened, otherwise the pillar wouldn't be like this.

"Come in." Zhang Ming sat upright and asked Zhu Zi to come in and report.

"Report to the prefect, Wuhuan muster his forces and prepare to invade the border."
