I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Yes, yes, the Divine King is very thoughtful. I am still narrow-minded."

Prefect Tian glanced at the skinny people kneeling on the ground and nodded in agreement.

It is indeed not suitable to eat coarse grains if you have been hungry for too long. It will upset your stomach and cause more trouble.

After all, he is the God King, so he has a big vision and gives so many good things away as soon as he says so.

Governor Tian glanced at his subordinates who were busy and sweating, and his eyes flickered slightly.

He looked at Xiao Yunzhan and asked with a chuckle,

"Prince Yongchang, I wonder if the county magistrates and officials of the various counties in Shuitian City can receive their salaries?"

These people were also short of food and water. The common people were eating fine grains, but their barley porridge was so thin that you couldn't even catch the barley in it even if you rolled up your trousers and put them in.

Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned. To be honest, he was only concerned about the soldiers and civilians. He had never thought about how to deal with these government officials.

"After the registration is completed, let the officials come to see him."

All the government officials in the city should be at the parade ground, and it will be fine as long as the magistrates of each county are there.

Shuitian City is now his base camp. If the officials from various government offices know what's good for them, he will not move their positions.

But manpower must be deployed.

"Yes, I will go and inform them right away."

When Prefect Tian heard this, he responded happily and hurried over to his subordinates who were looking forward to it.

Prince Yongchang finally remembered to meet them alone.

In the morning, his subordinates followed him and asked what they should do. After all, they were officials appointed by Emperor Wu of Liang. Although they had submitted to the Divine King, they were afraid that King Yongchang would not trust them.

Especially some county magistrates whose families are still in the capital, they are even more nervous.

Of course they knew that following the Divine King was the right path, but they had families tied to the capital, and they simply could not give up their families.

........

"Pick a few literate people from Zhujia Village and place them in various counties. Those officials in the capital who have families will be temporarily confined to their respective mansions."

Lin Yiran glanced at those officials.

Seeing several people frowning tightly and looking worried, she immediately realized that these people must have connections in the capital.

When Zhu Changshou heard Lin Yiran's words, his eyes widened with excitement and he wished he could kneel down and kowtow.

Oh my God, the people of Zhujia Village are really going to rise up and sing like serfs.

He went directly from a small soldier to a person who supervised the county magistrate. This was a very high position.

Several people from Zhujia Village who were nearby also looked at Lin Yiran with excited eyes shining and red faces, hoping that they would be called upon.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded, "Okay, then what about the food and drink for these imprisoned officials?"

We can't just give the imprisoned officials free food and drink and keep them fed for free.

But if we confine them and leave them alone, it would not be a good thing if they starve to death.

After all, these people were only implicated by their family and their crimes did not deserve the death penalty.

"Let them exchange silver or gold, silver, and jewelry. We won't confiscate their homes because they are loyal to the God King. But if they want food, they must exchange it for something."

Lin Yiran immediately thought of the antiques and gold, silver and jewelry in the homes of those officials.

A clean county magistrate can earn ten thousand taels of silver in three years, and the county magistrate at the border will have even more gold, silver and jewelry.

They may have no food left, but they definitely still have gold, silver and jewelry.

There are often wars on the border, and there will be spoils of war when there is a war. Not all spoils of war are handed over, so they must have a lot of treasures in their hands.

Lin Yiran's eyes lit up slightly, and her gaze swept over the officials surrounding Prefect Tian one by one.

She couldn't help but want to go to those officials' homes.

Unfortunately, Shuitian City is the base camp, so she really can't just take it all away at once, as this would easily cause panic among the people.

In a city favored by the King of Gods, there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the law. Doesn't this make people doubt the King of Gods' ability?

"And the merchants in Shuitian City also have to exchange things for food. We can't just give it away for free."

Lin Yiran thought about it and added another one.

The people had no money or food, so they could only sign up to join the army and receive salaries.

Officials and merchants are different. They have no food but they have money.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran's eyes that lit up when she mentioned gold, silver and jewelry, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

She still loves money in a sensible way. After he conquers the capital, he will give all the gold, silver and jewelry in the national treasury to Lin Yiran.

As long as she likes it, he is willing to give it to her.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"The people of Zhujia Village placed two people next to each county magistrate to supervise them and learn from them. If they are directly responsible for the county magistrate's official duties, they will definitely be confused and have no idea where to start. It will take some time for them to learn and adapt..."

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran seriously.

He knew that Lin Yiran particularly valued the people of Zhujia Village and wanted to make use of them.

Of course, the people of Zhujia Village are also quite competitive.

During his breaks, he often saw people from Zhujia Village gathered together, writing and drawing on the ground, and studying together.

Soldiers from other villages would lie on the ground with their arms and legs spread out when they had a rest, but people from Zhujia Village would sit on the ground and study when they had a rest. They are indeed worthy of being used.

But they only learned a few words, which was far from enough to manage a county.
