Chapter 423

Chu Yin was afraid of the cold, so she put on cotton-padded clothes early on. The cloak she was wearing was clipped, but she quietly changed it by herself, adding a layer of leather lining, which greatly improved the effect of wind and warmth.

The small stove was prepared in the handsome tent, and she waited for Zuo Qian while reading the official document.

When Zuo Qian came over, she put down the official documents and made tea herself.

Zuo Qian hurriedly said: "The commander-in-chief should discuss more details with the subordinate officials."

"Master Zuo moisturizes his lips," Chu Yin poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, "The frontier is hard, and all the adults have suffered."

Zuo Qian smiled wryly and said: "Compared to the commander-in-chief, how can we be called suffering?

"It is precisely because I have witnessed the bravery of the commander and his soldiers, and learned about the harsh environment in the frontier, that the state-owned Shuoshu makes people so angry."

Chu Yin nodded slightly, "Your Excellency Zuo knows that this Commander came from the border of the Eastern Kingdom by order.

"The avenue outside Jinyang Mansion is the only way to go.

"Because rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire, this commander never entered Jinyang Mansion at all.

"If it weren't for the people fleeing on the road, I wouldn't know that there are bandits in the area.

"In a hurry, this commander did not personally direct the matter of suppressing the bandits, but sent five thousand elite soldiers and three generals to take charge of the matter.

"After they returned to the team, this commander found out that there are about [-] bandits in the area, and they have been gathering in the mountains and forests for more than ten years.

"Let's not talk about looting houses, looting merchants is commonplace, they even broke into Jinyang Mansion and attacked the government.

"It's just because the magistrate of that term had the idea of ​​suppressing the bandits."

"The bandits are so arrogant!" Zuo Qian slapped the table angrily.

Chu Yin shook his head, "If there is no umbrella on the head, how can the sun make evil spirits exist?"

Zuo Qian deeply agrees.

At that time, all the bandits were detained in prisons, and the cells in Jinyang Mansion were overcrowded.

Approved by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the bandit capital was sentenced to death.

The rest of the gangsters were sentenced according to the seriousness of the crime. Those who were serious were sentenced to beheaded in autumn, and those who were less serious were also sentenced to exile.

Zuo Qian closed his eyes, the banditry was gone, but the army rations were stolen, how could it not be heartbreaking!

Chu Yin arched his hands, "Lord Zuo, my writing style is rough, and this matter is not trivial. Please also ask your lord to play the court and punish him severely."

"There is no shirking the responsibility!" Zuo Qian returned the gift, "Please rest assured, Commander!"

Chu Yin asked about Jinji Pass again.

Zuo Qian relaxed, "Don't worry, Commander. The first batch of people who moved into the city have already moved in.

"In principle, housing is the same for all common people.

"And the first three years are free to live in, after that, you need to pay three taels of silver every year, and after ten consecutive years of payment, the house will be owned by the individual.

"But these houses all have the same layout, with three main houses and a courtyard, it will definitely not be enough for a large population.

"But there is plenty of room to build it yourself in the yard.

"If you are dissatisfied with such a house, you can pay a certain fee to live in a larger house."

Chu Yin was a little worried: "Is it too much to pay three taels of silver every year?"

Zuo Qian smiled: "We have also carefully calculated this amount.

"Although there will be certain difficulties, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still make up enough.

"The house is so well built that it won't break even if it's lived in for 100 years, so it's not a disadvantage after all.

"Besides, everyone in the world is the same, they don't cherish things that are easily obtained.

"Receiving this money, one is to increase income for the local area, and the other is to let the people remember that such a good life is not easy to come by."
