I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 31 Recapture Qinghe County and expand the territory!

"Princess, what should we do with these people?"

Li Rou looked at the soldiers who were fleeing outside the county government office and asked.

"These people use their power to bully others. They prey on the common people and run rampant in the countryside. They are vicious borers. There is no point in keeping them. Catch them first. I will kill them in front of the common people."

"Commander Zhao, could you please send someone to take stock of the county government's inventory, take in the refugees outside the city, open warehouses and store grain, and by the way, notify the people in the city to gather in front of the county government gate. I want to inform the whole county."

Jiang Linglong spoke in an orderly manner.

Commander Zhao's eyes were filled with admiration. This princess was a woman, but she did have something. He nodded, "Don't worry, princess, I will send someone to make arrangements immediately."

……

at this time.

County government.

The heads of several major families in Qinghe County were coming hand in hand. When they saw the menacing Black Tiger Army, they cautiously said: "Commander, I am the head of the Wang family. I want to see the county magistrate."

A general of the Black Tiger Army glanced at several people and said, "Wait."

Then he winked at the person next to him, and someone immediately went in to report.

"Hmph, these aristocratic families are nothing, arrest them all."

If she hadn't seen Cangyun County, Jiang Linglong might have thought twice about taking action against the wealthy family.

After all, attacking a big family can easily arouse public anger and lead to a group attack.

As an emperor, the best solution is definitely to appease, to scare the monkeys, and not to offend the interests of the family.

In this way, the country will be restored and its foundation will not be affected.

But now, she has changed her mind.

She wants to follow Lu Yuan's example, eradicate the aristocratic families, and turn Da Zhou into an enlarged version of Cangyun County.

In her mind, a peaceful and prosperous age is when everyone can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about food and drink.

Doing this will shake the foundation of the Great Zhou, but similarly, if the hidden dangers are solved from the source, once the Great Zhou develops in the future, it will be stronger than ever before.

In this way, it will be more popular among the people, even if it encounters the current situation of Dazhou again.

She raised her arms and relied on her reputation to accumulate a large amount of power for her use.

Unlike now, even if she claims to be emperor, no one cares about her, let alone seeks refuge.

Facing the superior Black Tiger Army, these family heads had no room to fight back. When the warriors trained by the family saw this scene, they were all frightened. The worshiper’s eyelids jumped and he ran away without saying a word. Escape.

In less than an hour, the entire Qinghe County was under Jiang Linglong's control.

……

The Black Tiger Army is extremely efficient.

But in just a few hours, everything was arranged.

As Jiang Linglong expected, the county magistrate's office in Qinghe contained more than a million taels of gold and silver, countless precious things, and the granary was filled with grain and grass.

The common people were frugal in food and clothing, and even in winter they were still wearing only one piece of clothing, and could not even afford a full meal a day. This strengthened Jiang Linglong's determination to eradicate these scourges.

At the gate of the county government office, many people gathered at this time.

Everyone still didn't understand what happened, but seeing the overwhelming momentum of the Black Tiger Army, they had to obey this order.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, fearing that the magistrate would think of ways to increase taxes and exploit them in various ways. They all looked worried.

At this time, the county government door slowly opened, and Jiang Linglong walked out.

Everyone immediately fell silent and lowered their heads, not even daring to look directly at Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong glanced at everyone before speaking, "People of Qinghe County, I am Jiang Linglong, the princess of the Imperial Zhou Dynasty. I heard that the county magistrate here is working as a provocateur and preying on the people. I got help from Cangyun County Magistrate Lu Yuan, so I came here."

"Princess Jiang Linglong of Da Zhou?"

"Is she a princess?"

"Isn't Dazhou dead?"

"Shh, you don't want to die."

"The magistrate of Cangyun County, there are actually people in Cangyun County. Are these people all from Cangyun County? Oh my god."

"Are you going to attack Qinghe County Magistrate? Aren't you afraid of Prince Liang..."

"I don't know, let's not worry about so much. Listen, these have nothing to do with us..."

"..."

The people were talking.

Jiang Linglong remained calm and waved, "Bring it up!"

Immediately, the Qinghe County Magistrate, the heads of the aristocratic families, and a group of soldiers were tied up with five flowers and brought to kneel in front of everyone.

"Today, I will take on the responsibility of the Emperor and eliminate harm for the people!"

"From now on, Qinghe County is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Cangyun County, so you don't have to worry." "In addition, the people's wealth and wealth that have been taken away by the dog officials over the years will be returned in full, and everyone's fields will be redistributed..."

Seeing the head of the magistrate's family begging for mercy in front of them, the people felt incredible and looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.

When they heard that there was money and land, everyone stopped caring and shouted, "Long live the princess! Long live the great Zhou!"

Jiang Linglong didn't care about everyone's reaction. She knew very well that this was just the beginning.

Then in front of everyone, he beheaded the heads of the Qinghe County Magistrate's family one by one, and blood spattered all over the ground.

The voices of the people became louder.

Afterwards, the Black Tiger Army issued rations based on the number of people, counted the quotas, and distributed the land of the aristocratic families.

The remaining members of the aristocratic family who were related by blood chose to be imprisoned pending trial, while all other slaves were freed.

The warriors trained and enshrined by the family chose to be included.

These warriors did not sympathize with the aristocratic families, nor did they think of working for them to avenge them. Instead, they all worked for them, and it was different who worked for them.

What's more, this is the princess of the Zhou royal family.

There are also some people who choose to leave and are unwilling to take refuge.

Jiang Linglong did not embarrass these people and allowed them to leave.

After this operation, Jiang Linglong had complete control over the people and the hearts of the people in Qinghe County.

In the hearts of the people, Jiang Linglong is the fairy sent by God to save them.

Of course, everyone did not ignore Jiang Linglong's mention of Cangyun County Magistrate Lu Yuan who helped her.

After all, it was obviously impossible for Jiang Linglong, a poor princess, to achieve this level of success, and most of it was due to Lu Yuan.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Cangyun County, which was only separated by a mountain from Qinghe County, could be so powerful.

For a time, the reputations of Jiang Linglong and Lu Yuan soared here, and they were talked about by the people.

……

[You are recognized by the people of Qinghe County and unlock the 'field' - Qinghe County! 】

[Field coverage increased, reputation +10000! 】

[Current field coverage: Cangyun County, Qinghe County! 】

[You are respected by the people of Qinghe County, reputation +10]

[You are praised by the "people of Qinghe County", reputation +10]

[People’s hearts in Qinghe County are rising, reputation +100]

【…】

The system beeps kept ringing, and Lu Yuan, who was fishing in the lake pavilion, couldn't help but be startled.

"It turns out that the improvement of domain coverage can be unlocked through public support..."

This was the first time Lu Yuan knew about this function.

Before, he had been developing and accumulating strength silently, unknown to outsiders, and he didn't know much about it.

Now I accidentally unlocked this feature.

I didn’t expect that to unlock the scope of the domain, you also need to gain reputation.

Of course, what is more critical is the loyalty of the people in the territory.

If the entire world becomes his domain, then everyone in the world will be loyal to him, including the emperor.

With full loyalty, even if Lu Yuan asked him to die, he would not hesitate and willingly die without blinking an eye.

This can be seen from the people in Cangyun County.

Lu Yuan was able to tame the nine-headed red python in the first place because of the characteristics of his domain.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for him to tame such a peerless beast.

The judgment of the people in the territory is quite simple. Either they are willing to follow Lu Yuan, or they are natives.

People like Jiang Linglong who came here as refugees had no intention of following, so they were not considered leaders.

Unless Lu Yuan brings the imperial city into his own territory, then he will have a chance.

At present, it seems that if you want to expand the field, you must first get the approval of the majority of the local people and the people's will, which is not easy.

This is normal. If it is a troubled time, it will be much simpler.

"A county, not counting the common people, can provide 100 reputations. The entire Liangzhou has more than a hundred counties. If they are all included in the domain, it will provide [-] million reputations. The domain can be easily upgraded to level six."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan put down his fishing rod, stood up and left the Huxin Pavilion.

If he wanted to increase his reputation quickly, relying on Jiang Linglong alone was a bit too slow. He had to speed up.
