Wen Xian had no expression on her face and directly gave the order to kill the prefect and the generals of the city defenders. This made everyone a little stunned, except Wu Zhong.

As an experienced general, Wu Zhong naturally knew that at this time, he should scare the monkeys and stabilize the morale of the military and the people.

So, under the witness of the people and soldiers, he raised his sword and chopped off the heads of the prefect and the generals of the city defenders.

At the same time, the people around them threw down their things and knelt down to Wen Xian, shouting: "Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"

Shouts of "Long Live Long Live" spread from the city gate, shocking the entire Northern Fujian Prefecture.

Even some people who had been staying behind closed doors opened their doors and ran towards the city gate.

Then, there were sobs from small to loud.

This is the cry of the people in Northern Fujian Prefecture. They are venting their long-standing fear and grievances.

Before that, the people of the entire northern Fujian Prefecture were living in dire straits.

They don't know when they will die. Whether they die of starvation or torture, they always live in fear.

However, now that the person who frightened them and tortured them has died, the big stone that weighed on their hearts has finally been lifted, which makes them unhappy.

Seeing the people like this, Wen Xian felt very uncomfortable. It was all the fault of those in power!

She took a deep breath, raised her hand and said loudly: "Everyone is flat!"

Then, she continued: "Please rest assured, Minbei Mansion will get better and better in the future, and things like the past will never happen again.

I promise that within the next three years, all northern Fujian prefectures will reduce or reduce taxes on farmers. As for merchant taxes, they are reduced in the first year and halved in the remaining two years.

In addition, when the new prefect takes office, he will recruit people to develop the economy. When the time comes, we will need many short-term and long-term workers, and everyone can sign up to participate in the selection. "

In the past year, the people of Northern Fujian Prefecture have been tortured too much by taxes. She can only reduce some taxes first, otherwise, the people's life will still be difficult.

As for the new magistrate, she planned to meet the man recommended by Shen Cheng. If nothing else, he should be chosen as the prefect.

After that, Zhu Qing will take the lead and start building various factories in Northern Fujian Prefecture. Everything will proceed in an orderly manner.

"Long live your majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

Wen Xian's words once again caused waves in the hearts of the people in Northern Fujian Prefecture.

If there was still some hesitation in kneeling down before, then this time it was completely sincere.

Wen Xian pursed her lips and smiled, then returned to the military camp outside the city and began to plan the next thing.

This time, Wu Sheng led the Wu family army to clean up the mess in the city, while Wu Zhong followed back to the military camp to listen to Wen Xian's next instructions.

As soon as he sat down, Wu Zhong took the lead and asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with those prisoners?"

Those prisoners were all soldiers and generals. He was unwilling to let him join the Wu family army, but he couldn't kill them all directly.

First of all, as I said before, you must be trustworthy when treating prisoners without killing them. Secondly, there are many new recruits who have just been recruited, and they are all common people in Northern Fujian Prefecture.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, it is not suitable for direct execution.

As for how to deal with it, Wu Zhong didn't dare to make a decision on his own, he had to ask Wen Xian for his opinion.

Wen Xian took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and said, "Ask them for their opinions. Those who are willing to go home will be allowed to go home. Those who are unwilling to go home will be incorporated into the new city defense army."

She raised her eyes and continued: "No matter what it is, there is a one-year inspection period. If within this year, someone has other thoughts, they can be killed on the spot without mercy.

One year later, the test is passed. If you are supposed to be a good citizen, continue to be a good citizen; if you are supposed to be a soldier, continue to be a soldier. "It's not that she is suspected of being seriously ill, but that some people open dyeing rooms just by giving them some color. We can't rule out that there are those who are unwilling to give in and interfere with it.

She could only be ruthless when it came to eating things like this.

Moreover, Wen Xian believes that within a year, judging from the recovery situation of Minbei Prefecture, no one will rebel again.

If they rebel while they are safe, earning money, and have enough food and clothing, I believe that the people around them will be the first to refuse without her taking action.

Wu Zhong praised: "This method is wonderful, I will arrange it immediately."

After careful consideration, he thought highly of Wen Xian.

After he finished speaking, he wanted to quit and arrange things, but was stopped by Wen Xian.

Wen Xian asked: "Does General Wu have any suggestions for the new magistrate and the generals of the defending army in northern Fujian to accept their fate?"

Minbei Mansion was captured by Wu Zhong and his men, so naturally she had to ask his opinion.

If Wu Zhong has someone to recommend, she will also be included in the consideration.

However, Wu Zhong shook his head and said: "Everything is decided by your Majesty, and the general will have no objections. If there is something that the general can do, your majesty can just tell you, and the general will go all out."

As a military general, it was better for him not to get involved in the affairs of the local city garrison and the government. He also found it too troublesome.

Wen Xian smiled knowingly and said: "Okay, then General Wu will go and do his work first. If there is need, I will find you."

Wu Zhong made it clear that she would not participate, so it was hard for her to say anything more.

Her most important thing now is to determine the candidate for the new prefect.

Shen Cheng originally recommended Magistrate Shi of Guandong County to her, but he didn't rush to meet and discuss it in detail before she left Guanping Mansion.

Therefore, she left a message to Shen Cheng and asked Magistrate Shi to come directly to Minbei Mansion to find her.

Calculating the time, we can get there in just two days. It would be okay if she simply waited for two days.

However, having just taken over Minbei Mansion, the past two days have been chaotic, and Wen Xian had to find someone to help her stabilize the overall situation.

Of course, if there is no one, then she will do it herself.

However, before she started looking for someone, Jiang Chen came to her early the next morning and said that he could share some affairs.

Jiang Chen felt that everyone was busy and he couldn't use force, so he might as well contribute in other aspects.

No matter how much you can do, do it first and then talk about it.

Wen Xian was overjoyed and immediately left some aftermath matters to him and Bai Qiangwei to handle.

After all, Jiang Chen is the young master of the Jiang family. Managing a city is much the same as managing a family. With Bai Qiangwei in charge of money, he can completely stabilize the overall situation.

Facts have proved that this choice is not wrong. Jiang Chen and Bai Qiangwei worked hard every day, their feet never touching the ground.

Not to mention, with Jiang Chen's help, Wen Xian's pressure was greatly relieved.

It was not until two days later that Magistrate Shi and his servant hurried to Minbei Mansion.

When Magistrate Shi arrived, Wen Xian was in the Yamen reading official documents and approving memorials.

Of course, this memorial only concerns Pingfu and Minbei Prefecture for the time being.

It is expected that the ending will come in about ten chapters. Thank you for your support along the way. Bow (ε)
