After three days, the weather in Yuzhou has been fine, and the army has been helping the victims rebuild in an orderly manner. However, in the past few days, there are always some mobile small gangs making troubles in all directions of Yuzhou City.

This group of people not only made trouble, but also sent people to incite the people, causing many people who had already gone out to shrink back again.

Seeing this, Xie Kun stood up directly with the knife, with an angry face, "Boss, I'll clean them up!"

Xiong Jinghai put away Ji Liu's reply letter, his strong body was upright, and his military temperament was full, "No need, Axi, let someone bring Wu Zhizhou up. I will meet him in Yuzhou City."

Ma Menxi took the order to go, Xie Kun was so aggrieved that he kept complaining, "Boss, our account is so aggrieved, I'm going to rust!"

When he came to Yuzhou, he didn't move a knife or a gun, and finally got a practice hand and he didn't let him fight!

"Use your brain more, learn from Ah Xi!"

"It takes a lot of effort to use my brain, but I still move quickly!"

Xiong Jinghai glanced at him, "Come with me, when you use the knife."

"Hey!" After hearing Xiong Jinghai's words, Xie Kun finally came to his senses, raised his knife and followed out the door.

Ma Menxi brought Wu Zhizhou out of the prison. In the cold winter months, the Zhizhou only wore a thin prison uniform. The prison car was walking slowly in the snow. Someone in front of the car blared a gong to clear the way. 200 million taels was verified by General Xiong, and now according to the order of the sage, all property is confiscated and used for the reconstruction of Yuzhou, and Wu Xiangyu is sentenced to death!"

When the people heard this, all the people were furious and applauded in unison, and then they threw snowballs from the ground and threw them at the prison car.

"Dog officer, you deserve it!"

"General Xiong stood up for the people and killed this corrupt official!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Big and small snowballs came all over the sky, Wu Zhizhou could only protect his head with his shackled hands, being hit by the snowballs constantly, his whole body was shivering in the cold wind, extremely embarrassed.

When Ma Menxi brought people to the city, the prison car was already covered with snow.Along the way, the common people followed and worked, and the gruel bearers also stopped one after another and followed behind the prison cart. At this time, a dense crowd gathered under the execution platform in the city following the stopped prison cart.

On the execution platform, Xiong Jinghai was dressed in armor, his domineering sideways leaked, Xie Kun stood on his left, and Ma Menxi stood on the right holding the imperial decree, reading out the sentence against Wu Zhizhou again.

"Wu Xiangyu, during his tenure as the prefect of Yuzhou, took bribes totaling 200 million taels, which was verified by General Xiong. Now, according to the order of the Holy One, all his property is confiscated and used for the reconstruction of Yuzhou. Wu Xiangyu is sentenced to death!"

Xiong Jinghai raised his ape arm, and pulled out a wooden sign with the word "Zhan" from the table, "People of Yuzhou, the imperial court has never forgotten you. The Chang'an Dynasty has a vast area, and it is inevitable that there will be some young people among the officials." , Now that Wu Xiangyu has conclusive evidence of his crimes, and the amount of corruption is huge, he has been sentenced by the Holy Majesty to beheaded, and today he will kill this black sheep first, and the court will let everyone live a good life in the future!"

"cut!"

The sonorous and forceful sound fell to the ground, and the executioner raised the cold knife in his hand high. After a burst of blood, the head of Wu Zhizhou, who was searching for people's fat and people's anointing, rolled to the bottom of the execution platform.

Someone in the crowd raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Then everyone shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The people succeeded in inciting them, and slowly withdrew a few people from the emotional crowd, disappearing from the street.

Ma Menxi said softly beside Xiong Jinghai, "Boss is really a good plan. He easily killed the source of civil strife in Yuzhou City with just one move."

"I don't need to pay attention to such unappealing means, but I didn't expect Yuzhou to be so closely connected with the capital."

Dai Mengyun arrested all the officials in one place and put them under strict supervision, while Xiong Jinghai put them in prison again when he arrived in Yuzhou. Even with such control and no exchange of news, there were still people in the capital standing up for these corrupt officials. The chain of interests is looming.

"What are we going to do next?"

"Strictly investigate all the officials in Yuzhou, go to Beijing secretly every day, where are the other six people from the capital arranged?" If Ji Liu hadn't mentioned the six apprentices in his letter, Xiong Jinghai would have forgotten them It's clean.

Hearing Xiong Jinghai's question, Xie Kun grinned, "Boss, they were housed in a courtyard in the south of the city. These six people are very interesting, just like the big mouse hole we dug in the grassland in the northwest. Once you drag them, they will be gone." string."

Xie Kun ridiculed that the six apprentices acted in unison. Whenever they went out, the six of them would go together and never separate.

"This shows that the unruly people in Yuzhou make them jealous, and you still have fun!" Ma Menxi raised his forehead, Xie Kun always couldn't see the essence of the matter.

"Ah! No wonder they want to act in groups. It seems that Liu Shuangshao must have told them before coming here that this place is not safe!"

Neither Xiong Jinghai nor Ma Menxi paid any attention to him.

"This is clearly located in the hinterland of the dynasty, but such a large state capital is notorious because of the harsh environment. It is not an easy task to manage this place."

"Yeah." Xiong Jinghai nodded and asked Ma Menxi casually, "Do you like soybeans?"

"Soy? No!"

It’s no wonder he doesn’t like it. The northwest is not far from Yuzhou, and it takes only one day to get there. It’s also close to the grassland. On weekdays, there are strong winds and sand, and the land is dry. The crops in the cultivated land are often drought-tolerant rhizomes or beans.When they were stationed there, in order to save military pay, the three meals a day, except the morning, consisted of soybeans, which were boiled in water with a lot of salt, and they were full after eating, but the taste was really unpalatable. It will bloat.

Xie Kun nodded abruptly, indicating that he didn't like it either.

"Well, I don't like it either."

The same is true for Xiong Jinghai, so he wants to know how Ji Liu can use soybeans to enrich the land of Yuzhou.

"Take care of those people and let them recruit workers here."

"Recruitment?" Ma Menxi followed Xiong Jinghai's footsteps as he walked away, and Xie Kun scratched his head to keep up.

The six apprentices came to Yuzhou with a mission, but the people of Yuzhou are tough, and safety issues cannot be ignored. Before coming, Ji Liu asked Feng Shuning to explain the precautions clearly.

Now that they have stabilized, Xiong Jinghai's army is stationed in the city, the bandits on the streets are gone, and thatched huts are being erected. After the situation stabilizes, they start recruiting workers.

Large sheets of paper were pasted all over the city, on which it was written:

Clean hemp leaves, ten catties and five cents.

The dry hemp stems obtained after washing and drying in the sun cost five cents per catty.

Rubbing hemp rope, three feet six inches long hemp rope, three pennies.

Every place where the notice is posted has a hemp rope as a sample, and all things will be paid according to the price after inspection and acceptance.

In winter, only the old petioles of the hemp leaves are left, and there are no fresh hemp leaves at all, but the person in charge said that even if they are dry, the whole hemp leaves must be intact.

Someone couldn't help asking, "Brother, let me ask, will I really pay for the hemp leaves I got?"

The person who stood by and showed the hemp rope immediately replied, "Yes, ten catties of clean hemp leaves will give you five cents. This price will last until spring. Now that you have hemp leaves at home, hurry up and exchange them!"

"Why do you need these things? A foot of hemp rope can't tie anything."

Hemp rope is very common in Yuzhou, because there are all kinds of hemp trees everywhere, but the price of hemp rope is very cheap, a large bundle of hemp rope is only a few pennies.

"You don't have to worry about what we do, you just bring the hemp leaves. If you have old hemp leaves at home, if you have that skill and time, soak the hemp leaves and wash them, then dry them and give us the hemp stalks. I’ll give you the money too. But there’s one thing that needs to be clarified, all kinds of hemp trees are stored in different categories, and we won’t charge them if they are mixed together! But you can weigh them together and calculate the money together.”

Everyone asked other questions one after another, and after getting the answer that they would definitely get the cash, some people rushed home with machetes and went out of the city to chop hemp leaves. Unexpectedly, some people wanted these dried hemp leaves .Some choose to wait and see. If you exercise more in winter, you will eat more food. If you don’t get paid for physical work, it will be a loss-making business.

Some people used their brains and went home to discuss with their family members. They picked up the whole dried hemp leaves and chopped some at home, rubbed out hemp ropes, and waited to see what big business they were doing. When the time came, they would also plug in One foot, followed by a share of the pie.

No matter what the starting point of the people is, there is a hemp rope craze in the land of Yuzhou. In the cold winter, because of this small hope of life, the people who hope for a better life rekindled the fire of hope.

Xie Kun leaned aside holding his knife and watched these people gather together, "What's the use of this hemp rope, the two strands of hemp rope are so thin and rough, I can't even pull up my trousers as a belt!"

Ma Menxi rewarded him unceremoniously, "Aren't you afraid that the boss will kick you out if you say this? That's Liu Shuangshao's business."

Ma Menxi couldn't hide Ji Liu's business, and he didn't want to hide it either.

Before leaving, when Ji Liu took care of Ma Menxi's wounds, he specifically asked him to take care of his apprentices when he was in Yuzhou. Liu Shuangshao saved their lives. How could such a small request be refused? .

After knowing that the military boots on her feet, the life-saving medicine and the book on chilblain ointment all came from Ji Liu, Ma Menxi's attitude instantly rose from being a life-saving benefactor to a height of respect and admiration.

Can't help but sigh secretly, the boss's vision is really different.

This daughter-in-law is good at prying!

Xie Kun covered his mouth, and then smiled, "Liu Shuangshao is not only good-looking, but also has great medical skills, and now he can even manage a shop. The boss is really vicious! And now we have boots and gloves under our feet. , I still wear the chilblain ointment given by Liu Shuangshao, and we have been in the barracks for many years, and this winter is considered to be the best winter."

"It's good that you know, not only us, but also the brothers are secretly grateful, so you give me some treats for Liu Shuangshao's business, and he will be our sister-in-law in the future!"

"Hey, I got it!" Xie Kun agreed casually, "In the future, if Liu Shuangshao really marries the boss, then we will enjoy the blessing!"

Rarely, this time the two saw things together.

Xie Kun straightened up, ready to go, "Let's go too, anyway, we are idle, get some coins to buy wine!"

Xiong Jinghai is very strict in governing the army, but in the cold winter, in order to warm up, it is still okay to drink a few sips of wine when he is not on duty.

"Don't go, you stay here and watch the stall carefully. Although those people have stopped showing up recently, but Liu Shuangshao has a lot of stalls and promised to cash in the money. The general is worried that someone will come to make trouble. You stay here and watch carefully. I'll go and have a look at some other stalls." Cooperating with him, what he told Xie Kun just now made him fall out of his ears!

Every time Xie Kun is arranged to do something, Ma Menxi feels like he is taking care of a child, and he always has endless worries. Xie Kun's head is different from ordinary people. He is not only single-minded, but also short-sighted. Things were placed in front of him one by one, and he would know what he was going to do.

"Got it, got it, I'll just stay here and not go anywhere!"

Without thinking about it, Xie Kun leaned against the doorpost lazily, losing his spirit again.

"Cheer up and look after me. If Liu Shuangshao's things are missing a copper coin, you are going to sleep in a stable for the rest of your life!"

"Got it! Swear to take care of sister-in-law's business to the death! You go!"
