Chapter 44
Second Brother Gao led his men and horses to stop outside the city, looking at Luyi City. The circumference is about ten miles, and the height of the city is only more than two feet. It is a standard small county town.

Having seen the majestic and majestic city of Kaifeng and the city of Guidefu, the small town in front of him naturally looks a bit shabby.

Brother Gao looked at it and wondered in his heart whether he should set up an earthen kiln to burn bricks and renovate the place.

Since Gaojia Village was taken down, everyone was nothing but grassroots. They wandered with the Chuangjun, and now they have a place to live. The people behind the second brother saw the city. Although it was not as good as expected, they were still quite excited.

"Let's go, follow me into the city." The second brother looked at it, waved his hand, and led everyone into the city with some excitement.

As soon as they entered Luyi City, the streets were dilapidated, and there were burned houses everywhere in the city. Some people in sackcloth and filial piety hid in the shacks, with numbness or hatred on their faces, watching Gao Yihuan and his party enter the city.

This made the second brother Gao, who was originally full of enthusiasm, lose half of his enthusiasm, and realized that it would not be easy to build up the territory.

Most of the people living in the city were out of agricultural production. They were either rich families, or small traders and handicraftsmen, and they were the important targets of looting by bandits.

Luyi had just been ransacked once by the Chuangjun, and these residents naturally didn't like Brother Gao and his party.

The group felt the hostility of the residents in the city, so the second brother couldn't help walking faster, and led the team to the front of the county government office.

The fence outside the county government office has been overturned, and the plaque fell to the ground and was trampled in half, but fortunately, it was not burned.

"Zhuzi, take people to camp near the government office, and don't disturb the people." Gao Yihuan looked at the government office, then turned around and added, "After the tent is set up, you come to the office to find me, and I will write a notice for the people, and you send someone to post it. Then send people to guard the four gates to maintain order in the city."

"I'll do it now." Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone knew that the situation was not optimistic, and even more serious. Zhao Zhuzi hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, then waved to the people behind him, and led them away.

Gao Yihuan stood outside the government office, took a deep breath, and then led his subordinates into the government office. Once he entered, he found that many people in the city had already occupied the place.

After Chuangjun entered the city, he didn't intend to take Luyi, so he burned many houses. After some houses were burned, they hid in the yamen that were still intact.

Seeing the situation in Luyi City, Gao Yihuan couldn't help wiping off his sweat secretly. He had never been a magistrate before, and he didn't know much about civil affairs. There was a lot of waste in the city, which made his mind a mess, and he really didn't know what to do.

The residents of the government office saw a group of people wearing cotton armor and waist knives coming in, they all shrank to a corner and looked at them with some fear.

Brother Gao took a look at them, and could only see the tricks. He turned to Wu Shizhao and said, "Wu Zhanglv, you lead people to clean up the ruins in the city first, and then organize people to cut trees outside the city. Build some shacks to solve the problem of living for the common people."

"Captain, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower!" Wu Shizhao had just walked all the way, and saw that there were many ruins in the city, and some entire streets were burned.

Brother Gao frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought: "Then prepare some food, provide two dry meals, and ask the common people to help."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shizhao immediately cupped his fists and turned to prepare.

Not long after, Zhao Zhuzi led the people to set up the camp, and went to the government office to take the announcement, and went to the city gate to post it, but no one was attracted to watch it.

"You guys go to the East Street, you guys go to the West Street, knock back and forth three times, understand?" After Zhao Zhuzi posted the announcement, he ordered a few subordinates, and then he picked up the iron block and beat along the street .

"Dang Dang Dang!" A few people and horses yelled along the street while beating the iron blocks, "When the army enters the city, there will be no offense in autumn, and the people will do their own work. Soldiers, kill people, kill those who seize people's property, and those who commit adultery. People, whoever kills will die, whoever wounds will be punished, and whoever steals will be punished.”

The people in the city in the shanty silently watched a few soldiers knock on the iron and walked along the street until they disappeared at the corner of the street.

Wu Shizhao led nearly a hundred people to clean up the ruins along the street. At first, the people in the city just hid aside and looked at the bandits, not understanding what they were going to do. understand.At this time, they listened to the soldiers in the city shouting and reading the Anmin notice, and heard people say that they could manage two meals with help, and finally someone started to help the soldiers clean up one after another.

With the help of others, the speed of cleaning was much faster. In the end, Wu Shizhao simply handed over the cleaning of the city to his subordinates and the people, while he took people to cut down some trees and came back to prepare to build a shed.

In the county office, the people living in it vacated the backyard and gave it to Gao Yihuan and others to live in.At this time, Gao Yihuan got into a room and saw a person lying on the bed. He first walked to the table, poured a glass of water, then walked to the bed and sat down, and handed the water glass to the middle-aged man who was half leaning on the bed, " Mr. Liang, how are you thinking? I saved your life, do you think about helping me?"

The person half lying on the bed was Liang Yizhang, who was knocked unconscious by Gao Yihuan with the back of a knife, and passed out on the city of Shangqiu.

Gao Yihuan had his official robe stripped off, put it on another corpse, hid him in his camp, and took him to Luyi County.

Liang Yizhang looked a little thin. He didn't take the water Gao Yihuan handed over, and he didn't talk to Gao Yihuan.The second elder brother handed over the cup for a long time, but had no choice but to take it back by himself, put the water cup aside, and persuaded: "Lord Liang, you are a useful body, don't throw it away lightly!"

"Second brother, someone is coming to see you." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

The second brother Gao could only sigh when he heard the words, then turned around and left the house. Zhao Zhuzi, who had finished patrolling the street outside, saw him coming out and immediately came up to greet him, "Second brother, you persuade him to go all the way, the stones are already warmed up, he doesn't want to I don’t want to, why beg him so!”

"You can't do it without asking. Does anyone among us know how to manage the place?" Brother Gao shook his head and suddenly asked, "Who wants to see me?"

"Oh, it's a few old men, they should be village elders from the city." Zhao Zhuzi touched his head.

Gao Yihuan was taken aback for a moment, he originally thought that the city people were hostile to them, and it would take him a while to clean up the hearts of the people, and he didn't want the country gentry to come to see him so soon.

"Bring me to see you!" Second Brother Gao said happily.

Zhao Zhuzi clasped his fists and turned around, but Second Brother Gao suddenly stopped him, "Wait, I'll go and greet him in person."

After finishing speaking, he tidied up his clothes and hurried out...
