"Do you understand what I said?"

The prefects and county magistrates in the hall all understood.

"I understand."

Hongxuan looked at them and said, you can't call yourself a subordinate now.

"Now all of you officials call yourselves food officials."

"From today on, you are the grain officials. Don't say anything like "I am your subordinate" to me. I want to hear your name as grain officials. Grain officials at the prefectural level are called grain city officials, and grain officials at the county magistrate level are called grain county officials. Do you understand?"

"The food officer understands!"

All of His Highness's food officials responded.

"This is the last chance I'm giving you grain officials! If you don't do well, you'll be beheaded!"

At this point, Hongxuan named

"Chenliu County Grain Market Official!"

"The humble position is here!"

"Do you know what to do next?" Hongxuan asked.

"I will register all the farmland in Chenliu County and hand it over to the government of the King of Zhengbei for management. All the people will be given good land. The taxes collected will be 30% of the land and 70% will go to the people."

Hongxuan nodded.

"All of you food officials, get back to work immediately. What the king wants is efficiency!"

"Yes, I understand!"

All the grain officials stood up and left the hall.

They are not required to do anything else now. The most important thing is to take the first step, which is to distribute the fertile land to the people and let them sow seeds. As for how to further refine and improve their functions in the future, that is a matter for later.

After this group of grain officials left.

Hongxuan's Qilin Guards came into the hall.

Qilin Ten said respectfully

"Reporting to the prince, the grain has been secured! Yuzhou has a total of 3 million dan of grain."

"Three million dan? With so much grain, why do they say there is a natural disaster in Yuzhou and there is a shortage of food?" Hongxuan said gritting his teeth.

"This is a rat! This is a rat! These corrupt officials hoarded grain, but told the court that there was no grain, and the people also had no grain. They really deserve to be killed!"

Hongxuan temporarily suppressed his angry temper and continued to listen.

Qilin Jiu said respectfully:

"Reporting to the prince, there are 100,000 bows and arrows, 300,000 swords, 200,000 pieces of armor, 150,000 crossbows, 300,000 shields and 300,000 spears in the armory."

Hongxuan was stunned when he heard this.

"Qilin Jiu, what are you talking about? Are these numbers facts?" Hongxuan's breathing was a little rapid.

I didn't expect that I just sent the Qilin Guards to the armory to count the weapons.

But these weapons are so huge that it is unimaginable. These weapons are enough to equip an elite army of hundreds of thousands of people.

But there are only 30,000 soldiers in Yuzhou! What do 30,000 soldiers need so many weapons for?

It seems that Song Buzhengshi's ambition is really big.

Even Governor Song probably did not expect that he would suddenly be in fatal disaster.

All these equipment and weapons belong to Hongxuan.

"Qilin Jiu, go inform the five team captains!"

"I will go now!"

"Wait! Call Li Donglin too!"

"It is your subordinate who understands!"

Suddenly, five captains plus Li Donglin, the captain of the medical team, all came into the hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. What are your orders?"

The six captains bowed and said.

"Take all your men to the military warehouse and equip them with the latest weapons!"

Teng Wanzhi said:

"Your Majesty, we still have a large number of bandits among us. Should we also let them equip themselves with the latest equipment and weapons? They have nothing in their hands now."

Hong Xuan looked at the six captains and said:

"Of course we have to be on guard! But the situation is different now. All these bandit soldiers can just change their equipment and they won't pose any threat!"

"Troops from all over Yuzhou are about to gather, a total of 30,000! That's 30,000 regular troops!"

"All of you captains, including the guards who were with us before, spread this news! After spreading the news that these are bandits, no one will dare to resist or have second thoughts."

The six captains were sincerely convinced.

Captain Zhuang Wenqiang of the White Tiger Team said in admiration: "Your Majesty is a rare military god throughout the ages!"

"Haha! All right, go down and make some arrangements and put on all your equipment!"

"Yes, I obey your command!"

The six captains withdrew respectfully.

At this time Qilin Qi came into the hall.

"Your Majesty! According to your instructions, I have gathered all the soldiers in Yuzhou and brought them outside Yuzhou City!"

Hongxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"With these 30,000 Yuzhou troops, I can rest assured!"

"Let all officers gather in the main hall."

"I will do it right away!"

The 30,000-strong army was divided into six camps, each led by two generals.

Fan Jingtao, the Left General of Yuzhou, and Yu Shunshen, the Right General of Yuzhou, each commanded three battalions, for a total of six battalions.

Left General Fan Jingtao led three battalions of cavalry captains, namely Mai Qingchang, You Wenxu and Lu Songlong.

The right general Yu Shunshen led three battalions of cavalry captains, namely Gong Fangyi, Zeng Ying and Zhu Yaoshi.

Fan Jingtao brought three subordinates with him and fifteen thousand soldiers behind him.

Mai Qingchang said respectfully to General Fan Jintao:

"General! I heard that the King of Zhenbei came to Yuzhou and killed Song Buzhengshi and many court officials. It can be seen that the King of Zhenbei is decisive in killing. Now he has gathered us together!"

Fan Jintao, wearing a general's armor and with a majestic look on his face, frowned and said, "When you three are received by the King of Zhenbei, you must not say anything nonsense when he asks you questions. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I won't talk nonsense."

Gong Fangyi, wearing combat armor, respectfully said to the right general Yu Shunshen: "This time the King of Zhenbei has gathered us together, it must not be a good thing. General, we have 15,000 soldiers. If he dares to kill you, then we will definitely follow you and fight them."

Yu Shunshen in armor.

"How dare you! Don't say such things again, or else this general will not be able to save you."

At this time, a guard came forward.

"Two generals, six cavalry captains, the King of Zhenbei summons the eight of you to meet him."

The left and right generals and the cavalry captain took off their swords.

For they saw them taking off their swords and their armor.

"The King of Zhenbei didn't say anything about taking off his sword and armor, so you can just go and see him directly."

The eight people were stunned, and their tense mood eased a little.

The fact that King Zhenbei allowed them to carry swords and wear armor showed that King Zhenbei had no intention of doing anything to them.

The eight people lined up and went straight into Yuzhou City.

The Qilin Guard, along with two generals and six cavalry captains, entered the government of King Zhenbei of Yuzhou.

The eight of them entered the hall and saw the King of Zhenbei sitting high up.

The eight people said respectfully in unison:

"This general is here to see the King of Zhenbei!"

King Zhenbei looked at the two generals and six cavalry captains with a smile.

"I summoned you here to tell you that you will be incorporated into my Zhenbei King's personal guard from now on. This is not up for discussion. This is my order. Anyone who disobeys it will be executed."

"The last general takes command!"

The eight people respectfully accepted the order of King Zhenbei.

They were originally subjects. The King of Zhenbei was able to kill the Governor Lian Song, so would he still care about the eight of them?

They don't even have the qualifications to resist.

"Although the Yuzhou Army has a ready-made force, and the strength has reached 30,000, I will now reorganize the troops for you."

"The eight of you listen to my orders!"

"The general will obey your orders!"

"Left General Fan Jingtao, I order you to be the commander of the First Army."

General Fan Juntao was stunned, but he still responded quickly:

"The last general takes command!"
