When Qin Chuan arrived in Lancheng, Tang Linxian brought a group of people outside the city to greet him, and everyone looked respectful.

Qin Chuan was really surprised to be able to capture Lancheng so smoothly. He thought he would be bombarded with cannons for three or five days.

He originally wanted to kill Tang Linxian, but seeing that he was so sensible, he took the initiative to take out most of the money he had collected in the past six months, so he waved his hand and asked Tang Linxian to continue to be the magistrate.

However, most of the people in the county yamen have to be replaced. Those who are involved in the county town lords, the officials of the six houses, and the officials of the three yamen runners will be removed. Those who commit crimes and cause harm to the countryside will be taken down.

All the gentry, tyrants, gangsters, etc. who are causing trouble in the countryside will be questioned and searched, and then choose a zodiac auspicious day to behead them in front of the whole city.

The mass base in Lancheng is better than Jingle. When the house was confiscated, it was much smoother than Jingle. As soon as the masses exposed and reported, the Guandi army rushed over with a knife.

Qin Chuan specifically instructed Luo Daniu, Lao Huang and others who led the team to search the house, to carefully investigate and not arrest the wrong person, so that those who deliberately falsely accused would succeed. Anyone who falsely accused would be beaten at the least, and at the worst, they would be taken to chop.

As a result, more than a dozen false accusations were arrested in just three days, some were because of old grudges, some were because of trivial matters in neighborhoods, some were out of jealousy, or were simply disliked by someone.

Among these dozen false accusations, two were pulled to chop their heads, and the lightest aunt was beaten with twenty big boards, and her fat butt was smashed.

Lancheng is nearly twice the size of Jingle City, and its population is much larger. The villagers who fled into the county town have returned to their respective villages. The Zhang family and other gentry families, unscrupulous merchants and rogues have also been killed. There are still 1,200 households and more than 8,000 people in Lancheng.

This population can only be considered a small town in later generations, but in this era, it was already considered a big county.

Because Lan County is not short of wealthy families, Lancheng is also located on the main transportation route south of Kelan Prefecture, so the city's business was originally very prosperous, including grain and oil shops, vinegar shops, cloth shops, blacksmith shops, pawn shops, restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, tea shops, brothels, rouge and water shops, carriage shops, teeth shops, foot shops, inns, inns, candle shops, antique shops, jewelry shops, etc., there is even a escort agency semi-colon opened in Taiyuan, with a very recognizable name, called Bafang Escort Agency.

In addition to the shops, there are more than a dozen workshops, such as vinegar workshops, pickle workshops, wineries, tofu workshops, papermaking workshops, etc.

The reason why it was originally very prosperous is that most shops and workshop owners were cut off their heads, and these shops and workshops could not flourish for a while.

When he was in Jingle City, Qin Chuan had a headache about the more than a dozen shops and workshops he had obtained from the search. He did not want these shops because they were very unfavorable to commercial development and even had a counterproductive effect, causing the business in the two places to regress.

Business should follow the laws of social development, let go of the people to develop, maintain a balance of supply and demand, eliminate monopoly, maintain a good competitive environment, give birth to the development of commercial technology, and promote consumption.

Only by letting go of the people and maintaining reasonable supervision can business prosper.

After Luo Wentian reminded him, Qin Chuan decided to release all the shops and workshops, one was to sell them directly, the second was to rent them, and the third was to contract them. Whether they were rented or contracted, they could be completely bought out with a certain amount of silver or grain within a certain period of time.

Now dozens of shops and workshops in Lancheng are also dealt with in this way, but the results are very little, because the people are afraid that the court will fight back, or transfer Qinchuan away, and then the court settles the accounts in the autumn and forcefully takes back the shops to the survivors of those wealthy families, or directly takes them back to the court, they will suffer a lot.

The notice in Jingle City has been posted for more than ten days, and it has only been renting out three shops in total. Lancheng has been posted for more than ten days, but no one cares about it.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry. When the court restored his identity as a military general in the Ming Dynasty, when the war was settled, many people rushed to ask for it.

Qin Chuan did not do much mess with the government affairs of Lancheng and Jingle, and continued the county government management system of the Ming Dynasty. The magistrate was in charge of the ownership, the county magistrate and the lord were the deputy, in charge of money, grain, tax, etc., and there were six wards of officials, households, officials, soldiers, punishments, and work. It was a microcosm of the six ministries of the court, in charge of specific corresponding government affairs.

There are also three yamen runners in the Zao Class, fast class and majestic class. Among them, the Zao Class's Zao School is in charge of the order of the county yamen, the order of the case trial, and the county magistrate and other officials are responsible for follow-up protection when traveling.

The fast-paced constable is responsible for investigating criminal cases, arresting criminals, etc., managing urban defenses, guarding city gates, warehouses, etc.

In addition, various departments such as inspections, grain, and water control are also set up in places where needed.

Generally speaking, the administrative and public procuratorial systems of the Ming Dynasty were clearly divided, and each performed its own duties, which was relatively complete.

Qinchuan neither abolished nor added any administrative units, but only left the military garrisons vacant. The defense of the military city was fully taken over by the Guandi Army, and the yamen runners of the Zhuang team also followed the dispatch of the Guandi military camp officials.

The civil affairs department also retained the Lijia system, but the grain chief was abolished and village chief was changed, and the corvee service system was abolished, and migrant workers were recruited for a fee.

The biggest problem he faced was the lack of talents and the serious lack of grassroots management talents. He relied on himself and Wang Jizong to lead a group of temporary training grassroots officials running around.

Lancheng and Jinglecheng are fine, because -->>

It has not changed much for the indigenous people and is quite calm, but the eight villages in Lan County and the three villages in Jingle are in a mess.

It mainly involves interest issues such as housing allocation and construction, land allocation, etc. Some people want to live in blue brick houses in wealthy houses, while others want to have fat fields adjacent to water sources. Basically, every village has quarrels or even fights.

Qin Chuan never thought that it would be absolutely fair. This thing does not exist and does not conform to the laws of social development.

To quickly establish a new social order, we can only rely on powerful power, absolute power.

So, the villagers who were quarreling were dragged to beat the boards and fought against them. Not only did they beat the boards, but they also had to be locked in a small dark room, which was called "jail".

The Guandi Army was as fierce as a tiger when it was in operation, and the villagers quickly became obedient.

Then, Qin Chuan and Wang Jizong adjusted slightly according to the situation. For example, if they were assigned to blue brick houses, they had to help people who had no housing build houses. If they were assigned to fat fields, the number of acres decreased accordingly. If they were assigned to barren dry land, the number of acres increased accordingly.

I made a board first and then tried to deal with it as fairly as possible. Most of the villagers were convinced.

If you don’t agree with those, keep fighting.

When the situation basically stabilized, Qin Chuan threw all the government affairs to Wang Jizong, Tang Linxian, and Chen Congzhi, the two county magistrates.

Among them, Wang Jizong was equivalent to the imperial governor, and reported directly to Qin Chuan and guided the two magistrates, Tang Linxian and Chen Congzhi, to implement specific government affairs.

Qin Chuan continued to work on his military defense.

Since Wang Dehua, Wang Kun and others fled back to Xuanda, the Ming army has never been here again. It should have been waiting for Zhu Youjian to discuss the reasons with the civil servants in the court who misled the country to find out what they meant, and then decided whether to continue to attack Qin Chuan.

This also included Jiannu's contribution. Jiannu in the area of ​​Qingshuihe outside Bietou Pass cut off the camp and stopped leaving. Xuanda's border army did not dare to divide his troops south at this time.

Even so, Qin Chuan did not dare to take it lightly.

The defense of Jingle City and Ninghua Institute was under the responsibility of Li Dingliang and Ren Liang, with a total force of one thousand. The defense of Lancheng was under the responsibility of Liu Youzhu and Feng Yilong, with a total force of one thousand.

The threat from Jingyou Town has been basically lifted, so there is no need to stock up on too many troops. Qin Chuan only placed one department there, a total of 108 troops, and the dozen or so villages also placed one flag and thirty-six troops each to maintain public order.

Only two divisions were placed in Chijianling, with more than 200 troops.

The Great Village of Donghuluchuan was demolished, and all the money, grain and finance there were moved to three cliffs. Qinchuan only had one department's troops stationed at the three cliffs, allowing them to strengthen their fortifications and prepare more firewood, stone rolling wood and other defense supplies.

The remaining troops were all left in Loufan and stationed in the base camp.

Qin Chuan recruited 500 miners from the two mines, Heishan and Hongqishan, and sent notices to recruit soldiers in Jingle and Lancheng, including the surrendered Ming army and Xiangyong protecting the hospital. As long as they have never done anything harmful to the world, they can join the army.

Although the monthly salary of the Guandi Army is not higher than that of the Ming army's battalions, the victory is better in the food. Two dry and one thin every day, and a small piece of meat, and add broth from time to time. There are rewards for victory and bloody battles, and there are also a considerable amount of pensions for injuries or deaths.

Therefore, as soon as the recruitment notice was released, the two places in Jinglelan County became lively.

Qin Chuan was picky and recruited a total of 1,600 troops, bringing the total strength of the Guandi Army to 5,000.

The 5,000 troops were quite large, which was more powerful than the generals like Cao Wenzhao Zhang Quanchang, but there were not many who could really fight with troops to divide the troops to garrison in various places.

The newly recruited recruits must first receive training from Qinchuan, Luo Daniu, Zhao Wu and others in Loufan, and be guinea pigs for the students in the martial arts lecture hall. After practicing for ten or eight days, they will be replenished to the various camps.

After replenishing the troops, Luo Ba's Shifang Camp, Luo Daniu's First Clan, Li Dingliang's Clan, and Liu Youzhu's Wudang Camp, each of these four camps had 700 troops, and Ren Liang's Longwu Camp had only 500 people at the moment.

Qinchuan established a new camp, with Feng Yilong as the camp official, called Fengshanying, with a total of 500 troops, composed of the children of Fengjiazhuang as backbone.

In addition, there are three hundred tiger and leopard camps and one hundred red-clothed servants from Qinchuan.

Qin Chuan has always served as the battalion officer of the Tiger and Leopard Camp. First, he cannot find a suitable person to be appointed as the battalion officer. Second, the Tiger and Leopard Camp was originally his guard and was considered the most direct force, so it is convenient to manage it yourself.

The Mongolians who followed Qinchuan out of the pass and killed Jiannu, a total of more than 80 people were incorporated into the Tiger and Leopard Camp, and Batu also served as General Bai in the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

After the army was expanded and reorganized, the defenders in various places also increased accordingly. Li Dingliang began to expand the Ninghua Institute, increasing the city wall by six feet and three feet thicker, and expanding two horse faces and two arrow towers.

On the side of Lancheng, Liu Youzhu also led the Guandi army to transport various supplies to Luya Mountain. He began to build a military fort along the mountain at the most dangerous small wooden entrance of the Luya Mountain Road, guarding the Luya Mountain Passage, and achieving the effect of a thousand troops being able to block at least 20,000 enemy troops.

Qin Chuan estimated that he would need at least two years of rest and recuperation to have enough capital to expand like the outside world of Luliang Mountain.

Therefore, he had to first build the hinterland of Luliang Mountain into a solid mountain kingdom.
