Mongolian herders were unstable to move and their residences were not fixed. Therefore, there were very few towns throughout the northern part of the desert. Even Helin City was built by Duke Cao Li Jinzhong in the early Ming Dynasty when he was pursuing the forces of the Canyuan.

But after hundreds of years of erosion, and the Tartars who fought for years had no time to take care of this city, Helin City is now very dilapidated. When Zhang Huangyan came to Helin City, the only city gate was still there.

"Is this the place where Lin Mansion and I govern?" Zhang Huangyan looked at the dirt city gate that had collapsed halfway, couldn't help but ask himself, then sighed helplessly, and entered Helin City first.

However, at this time, there were people coming and going in Helin City. Many Mongolian herders who came to register their household registration and made some transactions at the same time gathered in Helin City. When the war began, some visionary mainland merchants first brought tea bricks, salt bricks, cloth, porcelain, glass and other goods to go out to trade with these Mongolian herders. They also learned from the notice that the Mongolian herders in this area would gather in Helin City, so these merchants also gathered in Helin City first, preparing to trade with Mongolian herders here.

At this time, most of the transactions between merchants in the pass and ordinary herdsmen outside the pass were still at the barter stage. Even if there were stable currencies such as silver dollars in the pass, because commercial activities outside the pass were not developed, it was difficult for these ordinary herdsmen to quickly exchange currency through the store after obtaining the currency, which made it difficult for the currency to circulate quickly outside the pass for a while.

At this time, the only relatively complete houses in Helin City had been temporarily requisitioned as the prefect's office, county office and other official office garrisons, so most Mongolian herders and merchants gathered in Helin City could only temporarily set up tents to live in.

After Zhang Huangyan entered Helin City, he mistakenly thought he had entered a large military camp. However, when he saw the Mongolian herders wearing felt hats bargaining at a few cattle and sheep and a few Songjiang cotton cloth, his new prefect felt a hint of market atmosphere.

Zhang Huangyan began to think about whether he should take a break after counting all the household registration and land acres of Helin Mansion, which was covered with dust and dirty and messy Helin City, imitate the capital, plan out the main roads north and south and east to west, divide the residents and commercial areas, and provide a special market trading area. Then build the prefectures and county schools, divide the counties and societies, and establish a social school. Those who are familiar with the Four Books in the Mainland are invited to come out of seclusion and teach.

But who knew that at this moment, Zhang Huangyan suddenly discovered a riot in front of him. Several quite strong Mongolian herders directly killed the merchant, snatched the merchant's carriage that was pulling salt bricks, and rode the horse outside the city.

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that these people were doing a good deal just now, and in a blink of an eye, someone directly robbed them.

However, at this time, the military police of the military police rushed over and chased after them. After several rows of shootings, the Mongolian herders who attempted to directly rob property and violated commercial rules were shot directly to the ground.

Among them, a military police directly cut off the heads of the Mongolian herders and walked towards the city with him: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is strict orders. People who have newly entrust to the Ming Dynasty in all regions must abide by the law and must not initiate disputes or disrupt transactions. If there are any unjust, conflicts and disputes, you can go to the county government office to appeal. If you deal with them privately, you will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this, most of the Mongolian herders gathered in Helin City lowered their heads, became more honest, and bargained with these merchants strangely, without daring to take any more forcing.

The order of civilization needs to be maintained by violent organizations. Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but sigh that only when the national strength of the Ming Dynasty can completely crush the forces outside the pass, and a strong enough violent organization can we truly succeed in achieving the goal of truly assimilating these people.

"Don't be surprised. Among the Tartars outside the pass, all the identities have been wiped out by our Ming Dynasty. However, these Tartars have always been used to fighting for the Ming Dynasty since childhood, and are barbaric and uneducated. Therefore, there will be new Tartars who do not understand the rules and act recklessly. However, these days, when our gendarmerie sees disobedience, they will be killed, which greatly shocked these Tartars and gave them some memory!"

Han Jun, the officer of the military police, said from the side.

However, Zhang Huangyan said directly at this time: "General Han, can I directly order you?"

"If it is a matter of Helin Mansion, the prefect is just right," said the Korean army, and Zhang Huangyan said: "Immediately confiscate all the herdsmen's sabers and heavy arrows in Helin City! Violators are punished for conspiring to rebel. For hunting wild wolves and fighting against the bandits, the imperial army will be wiped out!"

The Han army was shocked. The prefect Zhang looked as weak as an old scholar on the surface, but when he showed such a killing and decisive decision, it seemed that he was not a simple person.

Immediately, without having enough rest, Zhang Huangyan immediately began to convene officials under his jurisdiction and the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction to discuss matters.

The entire Mobeicheng announced that there were only three prefectures in the Political Envoy Department, and among them, Helin was its largest prefecture, with two prefectures and five counties under its jurisdiction. The two prefectures here each had two counties, so there were only nine counties in the entire Helin Prefecture. But in fact, each county here was far larger than one prefecture within the pass.

Until now, there are still five counties in Helin Prefecture that have not yet been appointed. Therefore, in addition to the magistrates of the two prefectures, they have to temporarily serve as magistrates of the two counties under their jurisdiction, Zhang Huangyan himself has to take charge of one county.

As the Ming Dynasty expanded too rapidly, many new places of surrender had a large number of shortages of officials. The Ministry of Personnel was too busy and could not appoint a complete bureaucratic system for these newly established prefectures and counties in a short period of time. Therefore, Zhang Huangyan and Prefect Lin had no magistrates, magistrates, and other assistants at this time.

In other words, Zhang Huangyan is now in charge of the power of the entire Helin Mansion alone. He not only serves as the prefect, but also serves as the magistrate and other officials, but also directly serves as a county. The power of the prefect is beyond the reach of the prefects in the pass, but it also requires a lot of energy.

Zhang Huangyan personally registered and compiled the books for these herdsmen, and even personally confirmed the number of people in his jurisdiction, and counted the acres of land himself.

In this way, Zhang Huangyan was almost too busy to go to the ground as soon as he took office, and the same was true for several other officials. They did not go to their own prefectures and counties to take office, so they lived in Helin City with Zhang Huangyan and worked together. Because instead of doing so much that they were busy separately, it would be better to do the important things of the entire mansion together first, so that efficiency would be faster. Moreover, although the Helin Mansion has a wide area, its population is very small, and it is convenient to concentrate.
