Poor Family Chapter 832

  Chapter 832 Soldiers come to Qiantang

  Two days later, Li Yanqing led 20,000 troops to Qiantang County, and the other troops were deployed to Jiangning, Runzhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou.

  After passing through the North Pass, the army settled down on the open space where Wang Xiao was assassinated, and began to build tents, board walls, and observation towers. The soldiers were busy, and almost everyone was mobilized.

Li Yanqing went to Qiantang County, two miles away, under the **** of 300 soldiers. The county has not yet built a new city wall, but there is a tax office next to the official road. After passing the tax office, the two sides of the official road began to appear. There are more shops facing the street and more residential houses in the distance.

Standing beside the official road was a group of dozens of people, Li Yanqing couldn't help but smiled wryly, the leader was Cao Yun's uncle Cao Yan, his own father-in-law Cao Xuan, several elders of the Gao family and members of other meritorious families Representatives, real magistrates are not qualified to step forward, standing in a corner like a grandson.

  At this time, Cao Yan led the crowd to greet him with a smile. Li Yanqing hurriedly got off his horse, cupped his fists and saluted, "Uncle came to greet him in person, Yanqing really can't afford it!"

  He is a junior, it is necessary to be humble, but he is a county king and a captain, Cao Yan and others can't really accept his modesty, otherwise they don't know what is good or bad.

  Cao Yan hurriedly held his arm, and whispered to him: "You are a Taiwei now, and we will talk about family affection when you go home!"

   Li Yanqing nodded, stood up straight, Cao Yan led the crowd to bow and salute, "See Taiwei Li!"

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hands, "My colleagues, please excuse me! This time, Yanqing was entrusted by the officials to Xuanfu Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan Road. They all came from Tokyo, which is regarded as an outpost for moving the capital. On behalf of the official family, I sincerely thank you all. Soon, the official fleet will arrive, and I will definitely throw a banquet for everyone to celebrate!"

   Li Yanqing's words excited everyone's hearts. They finally heard the letter of permission to move the capital, and they all asked in unison: "Li Taiwei, when will the capital be moved?"

   "Li Taiwei, when will the officials decide to come?"

   "I want to go back to Tokyo to pick up something, is it convenient?"

Li Yanqing was taken aback by the last question, he quickly raised his hand to calm everyone down, and then said to everyone: "I have something to make clear to everyone, there is a very serious plague in Tokyo and the surrounding areas, It's summer now, and the plague is spreading quickly, so if you want to go back, you'd better wait for a while, and go back when the plague subsides."

The topic of the plague caused another round of discussion. At this time, Cao Yan pulled an official to Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "This is the right person today, Wei Zhi County of Qiantang County, Yanqing, thanks to Wei Zhi County for taking care of you this time, Cao Yan Only the government and Baoyanzhai can be safe and sound."

  Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Zhixian Wei!"

  Wei Zhixian was about 30 years old. He came from a high school and was slightly fat. His face was flushed with swelling, and he hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare! Don't dare! This is what a subordinate official should do, it's his duty!"

   "Why didn't Hangzhou Zhizhou He Tongpan come?" Li Yanqing asked a little strangely.

   "These two people ran away last night with their seals. They are all lackeys at home. I don't know where they went?"

   After Cao Yan finished speaking, he gave Li Yanqing a wink, Li Yanqing understood, and smiled: "If Wei Zhixian doesn't find it troublesome, let's temporarily serve as the Hangzhou General Judge! I will be formally appointed after I go to the government."

  Wei Zhi County was extremely excited. After moving the capital, Hangzhou was upgraded to the capital city, and the judge was Shaoyin. This is the third level in a row! Of course, he knew that he was not qualified enough to be promoted to Shaoyin, but as long as he performed well, he could be released as a general judge in Shangzhou.

   "Thank you Taiwei Li for your promotion!"

Li Yanqing was appointed as the commander of the anti-rebellion army. He has the right to appoint and remove state government officials who participated in the rebellion, mainly for Jiangning Prefecture, Yangzhou, Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Xiuzhou, Xuanzhou, etc. Eight prefectures and one prefecture, the magistrate can be dismissed but has no right to appoint, and the general judge has the right to make temporary appointments, but generally speaking, as long as he concurrently serves as the general judge, Zhao Gou will give him face and directly turn him into a regular.

So far, Li Yanqing has appointed Cao Sheng as the general judge of Yangzhou, Lu Zhiyuan as the general judge of Changzhou, and Mo Jun as the general judge of Suzhou. He was judged in Hangzhou.

  Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then dispersed, and then the new agent, Wei Tongpan, accompanied Li Yanqing to visit the city.

Li Yanqing came to Qiantang County for the first time. The scale of Qiantang County was beyond his imagination. Then he remembered that Qiantang County was originally the capital of Wuyue Kingdom. Most of the houses are well-built, but it seems that the population density is very high, the streets are full of pedestrians, the business is very prosperous, and there is no sense of war at all.

   But occasionally a group of cavalry walked through the street, maintaining order in the city.

   "Taiwei, the original old city wall over there has been demolished!" Wei Tongpan introduced, pointing to a pile of remaining city walls in the distance.

   "Where is the new city wall going to be built?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"The east wall remains the same, it is close to the Qiantang River, but it needs to be extended, and the west is close to the West Lake, which will not be built for the time being. Now it is mainly the north and south walls. The south wall is south of the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. This has been determined. The north wall is yet to be built. It has not been confirmed, but the general consensus is that it will be built to the Huantang River, so that the area of ​​the city will be about the same as that of Tokyo City."

   "There is still a lot of open space over there!"

"That's right. There are a lot of vacant land in the north, which is currently government land. The government will build a large number of public housing for rent, which will greatly reduce the pressure on ordinary people to rent houses. Now the housing prices in Qiantang County are almost the same as those in the heyday of Tokyo. Renting a house costs Yue actually wanted 800 Wen, which is outrageous. You must know that the capital was only 500 Wen when it was the highest, which caused the common people to complain."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "We can't wait for this matter. We need to start building houses immediately. A large number of people from the capital will go south immediately, and there will be hundreds of thousands more people in Qiantang County. It is impossible to live without a house."

   "I understand the humble position, but the court has to allocate money and things to build the house."

This time Li Yanqing exterminated the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, and successively seized more than 200,000 taels of silver and 500,000 guan. The money was intended to be used to resettle the northern immigrants. If given to the Hangzhou government, the money will be used to build public housing and must not be misappropriated elsewhere, and 30,000 public housing must be built within three months, and the monthly rent of the public housing shall not exceed five hundred cash."

When Wei Tongpan heard that hundreds of thousands of immigrants were coming, he felt a little nervous. Li Yanqing saw his worry and comforted him with a smile. Live in a tent first, and then slowly move into the city, I will recommend another chief officer in the next two days, and the two will share the burden, and the pressure will be less."

After a pause, Li Yanqing said again: "But as a local vice-official, you need to do your own affairs well, like the public rental housing I just mentioned, as well as epidemic prevention, public security, etc. You can only do your own affairs well. , your agency can only be turned into a regular agent, Wei Tongpan, this is an opportunity, do you understand what I mean?"

  Wei Tongpan nodded, "Understood, thank you Taiwei for reminding me!"

  At this time, Li Yanqing saw soldiers standing in front of a mansion, and asked strangely, "Whose mansion is that?"

   "Report to Taiwei, Nazhu Mansion, the Zhu family originally had three mansions in Qiantang County, General Wang drove them all into one mansion and sent troops to guard them."

   "Where are the Zheng family and the Xiang family?"

   "The same goes for the Zheng family. The three families merged into one family. There are soldiers guarding them, and Xiangfu also has soldiers guarding them. It's just an empty house. There are only some maids and servants in the mansion. Xiangfu's family has already run away."

  Li Yanqing thought about it, now is not the time for him to come forward to deal with it, he needs to exchange opinions with the Cao family before making a decision.
