Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 42

"Go, arrest them for me." Zhang Qingfeng ordered to a group of guards around him.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's order, more than a dozen guards rushed out with knives. Without saying a word, they rushed up and punched and kicked a group of young people who were beating the couple who were selling vegetables. In the end, they were cured smoothly. Clothes.

"What's the situation?" At this time, Zhang Qingfeng stepped forward under the protection of a group of guards and asked.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting us? Do you know who I am? Let us go quickly, or I will make you look good."

A young man who was caught couldn't accept it after seeing Zhang Qingfeng, and yelled fiercely at Zhang Qingfeng.

"Who are you?" Zhang Qingfeng asked in a deep voice.

"My father is Liu Liangzuo. If you dare to hit me, I want you to look good." The young man looked at Zhang Qingfeng fiercely and said.

Hearing the young man's words, there was a commotion all around, even Zhang Qingfeng's guards were in a commotion.

"Who is Liu Liangzuo?" Zhang Qingfeng asked the guard beside him.

"Liu Liangzuo is the captain of Yuyang, in charge of Yuyang's military equipment." The guard leader whispered to Zhang Qingfeng.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng frowned, the captain is just an official slightly lower than the prefect.

"Why did you beat others in the street?" Zhang Qingfeng asked the young man.

"Who are you? Let go of me." The young man didn't cooperate at all.

"This is the teacher of the prefect." A guard scolded the young man.

Hearing that Zhang Qingfeng was the prefect's teacher, the young man was taken aback for a moment, and immediately put away his arrogant attitude.

"I didn't know you were the prefect's teacher. If I offended you, please let me go." The young man said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Why did you beat others?" Zhang Qingfeng continued to ask, but he didn't mean to make people let go of him.

"They hit me and stained my clothes, and they can't afford to pay for it. Can't I beat me up?" the young man said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Is that so?" Zhang Qingfeng turned his eyes to the vegetable seller and his wife who were standing aside, timidly.

"My lord, yes, yes." The husband of the vegetable seller stammered, it seemed that he didn't want to provoke this young man either.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng glanced at the other party deeply, and said nothing.

"Let him go, I don't want to see people fighting in the street again, you can take care of yourself."

Zhang Qingfeng asked the guards to let go of the young people, and then prepared to leave.

"what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Zhang Qingfeng saw something out of the corner of his eye and roared loudly, startling the onlookers around him.

"That person is stealing, catch him." Zhang Qingfeng pointed to a person and said to the guards.

Hearing this, the expression of the person pointed at by Zhang Qingfeng suddenly changed. Without saying a word, he quickly dodged behind the crowd, and then ran away.

"My lord, I didn't catch it." After a while, several guards ran back to report to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Forget it, let's go back." Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand, and then left with a group of guards.

When Zhang Qingfeng returned to Yuyang City, his students came back to visit as soon as they got the news, and Zhang Qingfeng also received them one by one.

"Master Taishou, on the way back, sir, he encountered a group of robbers and robbed a lot of money."

After Li Bai arrived, a guard told Li Bai what happened today.

"What? What's going on, tell me in detail." Li Bai was surprised when he heard what the guard said, so he hurriedly asked.

"That's it." The guard then told what happened.

"It's unreasonable. During this period of time, I have always heard that there are bandits blocking the road and robbing businessmen. I didn't expect that they robbed the teacher."

Li Bai said to Zhang Qingfeng: "Teacher, don't worry, I will send troops to wipe out these bandits."

Hearing Li Bai's words, Zhang Qingfeng said: "Taibai, I haven't come back for several months. I feel that the law and order in Yuyang seems to be getting worse and worse. Today I saw the son of the captain of Yuyang beating people in the street, and some people Stealing my face."

"Here, teacher, the situation is like this. There are more and more foreigners in Yuyang City recently, and my management here is a little bit powerless."

Li Bai explained: "Almost every day, there are cases of people being killed and dumped, and there are still many cases that have not been discovered. There are too many people in Yuyang City, and there is no way to find the murderer. There are also folk gangs, and they often fight for territory. I am also a person who suffers from headaches.”

"What is the population of Yuyang City now?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Li Bai.

"There are almost 43 people." Li Bai said.

"So much?" Hearing Li Bai's words, Zhang Qingfeng was taken aback.

This is 40 in ancient times. You must know that when the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous, the capital Bianjing and Lin'an only had a population of more than 100 million, and this still includes the combined population of the surrounding counties.

Yuyang City has a population of 40. In just one year, the population has doubled several times. It is no wonder that Li Bai said that he could not manage it.

"It seems that I need to teach you another lesson." Zhang Qingfeng said to Li Bai.

"Disciple is all ears." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Li Bai was pleasantly surprised.

He knew that the reason why he was able to develop Yuyang County so well should be due to his teacher.

Almost most of the administrative measures were taught by his teacher, otherwise he would not know how to do it.

"Under today's conditions, if you want to manage a city with a population of more than 40, you need to learn a lot, such as population registration and management, adding administrative departments, planning urban construction, etc..."

In the next few days, Zhang Qingfeng told Li Bai what he knew, and at the same time, he asked Cai Wenji to record what he said, and use it as a teaching of knowledge at the university level.

Later, under Zhang Qingfeng's suggestion, Li Bai began to rectify Yuyang City.

First of all, Li Bai began to expand the number of yamen servants. In order to be able to manage the city, he transferred more than 200 people from his own guards to form the Yamen Department, which is equivalent to the police department of later generations.

(I know that the yamen servants in the Han Dynasty were called knife and pen officials, scribes, prison officials, etc. For the convenience of everyone, they are called yamen servants uniformly.)
Then, start to register the population and household registration of Yuyang County, and strengthen the management of Yuyang City.

In fact, Li Bai wanted to recruit soldiers from the garrison to serve as yamen servants, but the [-] troops in Yuyang County were under the control of Liu Liang, the captain of Yuyang, so he couldn't move at all.

The prefect, equivalent to the mayor of later generations, has only administrative power, but no military power.

Speaking of Liu Liangzuo, Li Bai was not less angry. After Zhang Qingfeng was robbed by the robbers this time, Li Bai asked Liu Liangzuo to lead troops to destroy the robbers in Yuyang County, but Liu Liangzuo shirked that his army needs Youzhou Juncao Shangguan agreed, which made Li Bai very angry.

Later, Li Bai applied to Youzhou to mobilize the army to suppress the bandits, but nothing came of it.

"Well, you just need to recruit more yamen servants. You are the prefect of Yuyang. Now Yuyang City and the counties have a population of nearly one million. It is not too much for you to recruit [-] yamen servants. When the time comes, we will train according to the method of the army. I am not afraid of suppressing bandits or fighting against foreign enemies." Zhang Qingfeng suggested to Li Bai.

"And the security personnel and young workers in each workshop can also arrange some training every year, at least they have the power to protect themselves when major incidents happen."

Now Yuyang County is developing faster and faster, and I don’t know how many people are coveting it. Although Gongsun Kang in Liaodong seems to have surrendered to Cao Cao, Youzhou is located in a remote place. If Gongsun Kang is interested in Yuyang’s wealth, he wants to take risks. , then Yuyang County has no way to stop it.

What's more, Cao Cao has now brought the northern army to the Yangtze River Basin, and it is too late to save them.

Moreover, there are Xianbei people in the north of Youzhou. If the Xianbei people know that Yuyang is rich and come to rob them, they will be in big trouble.

Rather than doing this, it is better to train the army to protect itself.
