"To ensure the safety of the region,"

"Wait for the new dynasty to send someone to take over?"

Cheng Changhe found this statement reasonable and asked,

How can we jointly govern Muzhou?

Han Ju said, "General, select some able-bodied young men."

"To be stationed outside the city to protect the prefecture,"

"I will supply the general with provisions."

"The rest of the soldiers, let them return the way they came,"

"Those who should farm should farm, and those who should work should work."

"Let them elect their own officials,"

"I will no longer be afraid of being exploited or bullied."

"Coins minted by the Shenquan Mint,"

"It can also be distributed as a reward to the soldiers,"

"They are naturally willing to obey when they benefit from it."

Cheng Changhe stopped speaking.

Instead, they carefully considered the pros and cons.

Han Ju continued, "There's also an uprising in Wuzhou,"

"They might come and attack."

"When the two rebel armies meet,"

"Who should be in charge?"

"A bloodbath is probably inevitable."

"If the general were to govern Muzhou with me,"

"It is the righteous cause of occupying and defending the territory,"

"By relying on the city of Wuzhou, we can defeat the Wuzhou troops."

"In this way, the general will have both the reputation of protecting his homeland,"

"He has also rendered meritorious service to the new Ming Dynasty."

"You sure know how to talk, official."

"Don't try to fool me."

Cheng Changhe has been persuaded.

The disturbance was quickly quelled.

Han Ju was in charge of civil administration within the city.

Cheng Changhe selected able-bodied men to garrison outside the city.

The remaining soldiers returned to Shenquan Guardhouse to collect their rewards and were dismissed.

The local people who fled into Tiger Head Mountain

Upon receiving the news, they returned home one after another.

Everyone praised Han Ju as a capable and good official.

Emperor Huizong mingled among these common people.

It still feels a bit unbelievable.

Han Ju,

Zhao Ji is all too familiar to me.

I worked as a lyricist for the Dasheng lyricist for ten years.

The lyrics are well-written, and the melody is also good.

The imperial edict was also beautifully drafted.

But what other abilities does it have besides these?

They actually dared to go out of the city alone to subdue the rebels.

This is absolutely ridiculous!

.....

Thanks to Emperor Huizong of Song's excessive issuance of currency,

Prices have soared in various parts of Southeast China.

A few strings of cash really can't withstand the expenses.

Emperor Huizong of Song had already discovered a pattern.

Buy food in the town.

It's cheaper than buying it in the county town.

If you eat at a farmer's house

That would save even more.

Moreover, not all money is the same.

Genuine copper coins have strong purchasing power.

When the value is ten or twenty coins, people will dislike it and dogs will abandon it.

He dared not linger in Muzhou any longer.

They dared not go to the south because of the rebel army.

Therefore, they could only travel westward along the river.

He got his hands on a broken bowl.

When they get hungry, they look for farmers.

It only costs a few coins.

You can buy a meal then.

Squatting in front of a farmer's house, trying to fill his stomach.

As for what you bought...

It depends on what that farmer eats.

Sometimes there's only a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

After dawdling for two or three days,

Reach the fork in the river.

Emperor Huizong of Song traveled southwest along the Shouchang River.

They soon arrived outside Shouchang County.

This area is also under the jurisdiction of Muzhou.

The county magistrate has received the official document exempting him from arrears and miscellaneous taxes.

The wealthy households in the county feared a peasant rebellion and an attack on the city.

Actively help promote policies,

They sent people to spread the word throughout the surrounding villages.

Emperor Huizong of Song did not enter the city.

They don't even eat outside the city.

It's still cheapest to buy food from farmers.

More than ten miles away from the county seat,

Emperor Huizong of Song was exhausted and hungry.

He found a village,

Immediately inquire about news of the village school.

Firstly, the village school teacher taught them proper pronunciation.

Communication was seamless.

Secondly, the village school teacher knew proper etiquette.

Moreover, they were all scholars.

They are easier to talk to than the ignorant villagers.

The village school teachers were in better condition.

The food was slightly better.

Sometimes they don't even charge him.

Sure enough, today's meal...

The village school teacher did not charge any money.

Emperor Huizong of Song was still itching to do it.

He picked up his brush and painted a small landscape painting.

The village school teacher was extremely impressed.

Emperor Huizong was allowed to stay at his home.

I'll boil water for his bath tonight.

A set of clean clothes is also provided.

And he summoned the village's local wealthy landowners.

Even nouveau riche are pretentious types.

He wanted to exchange poems with Emperor Huizong of Song.

He was immediately completely convinced and prostrated himself in admiration.

This gentleman is extremely generous.

He pulled out two strings of cash, which had high purchasing power.

They begged Emperor Huizong of Song to leave behind ten pieces of his calligraphy.

The transaction was completed, and both parties felt it was a good deal.

Emperor Huizong put on clean clothes,

The travel expenses were back in my bag.

The next day, I felt surprisingly refreshed on my journey.

But when he looked like a beggar, nothing happened to him.

I ran into trouble as soon as I changed into clean clothes.

Just as Emperor Huizong of Song was crossing mountains and valleys,

When they arrived at the border of Longyou County,

Suddenly, several bandits appeared.

"You bastard, leave your toll money here!"
