Before Zhang Liao went to war, he thought of killing Bai Bo's army, and then surrendering the rest of his troops as much as possible to expand the number of people and soldiers in the county.

When he met Han Xian, Zhang Liao killed him ruthlessly without any sympathy.

Regarding Hu Cai, Zhang Liao wanted to take him for himself, so he did not kill him.

The benefit Zhang Liao gave to Hu Cai was that each household was based on population, each person had 30 acres of land, and one tax of ten.

Hu Cai was overjoyed. With his joining, the Han and Siam tribe gradually returned to their hearts, without any extra thoughts, and were all looking forward to Zhang Liao being able to fulfill his promise quickly.

As soon as the Zhang Liao ordered the order, the county magistrates of Yuanyin County and Yuanyang County, which were standing on both sides of the Yuanshui River, sorted out the idle land into a book and sent it to Zhang Liao.

He looked at the two county magistrates and said lukewarmly: "If a wealthy family invades other people's land for no reason, they will return them to the government. All the past will be unrestrained. If I do not obey my orders, I will come to them personally to talk to them with swords."

When Zhang Liao led his troops to fight with Hu Cai, the county magistrate did not dare to go out of the city to greet him. At this moment, he was very afraid that Zhang Liao would pursue his orders, so he agreed to Zhang Liao's orders and did not dare to refute them.

The county magistrate of Yuanyang suggested: "Report to the county magistrate, the fertile land idle in Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties is enough to accommodate 30,000 households. Some wealthy families can also pay some taxes and pay them to the government without any management. It is better to temporarily hand over to the wealthy families to manage them and obtain some money and grain to serve as military funds."

Zhang Liao looked through the land book and asked slowly: "So, just idle land in the two counties is more than enough to resettle everyone in Baibo Valley?"

"That's right." County Magistrate Yuanyang visited and then explained: "Since the Baibo thieves were in danger, the looted countryside has basically become deserted dead places. Most of the people in the Baibo thieves are the people of Xihe. After being swept into Baibo thieves, the people only knew to harm the countryside, resulting in few people within a hundred miles of the countryside."

"This is true. Xihe County is vast and sparsely populated. The fertile land on both sides of the Yuanshui River is enough to support more than 100,000 people. In addition, the Yellow River enters the north and flows out from the south. It is only by the two sides of the Yellow River basin. If there is no turmoil, countless people can be alive."

Zhang Liao naturally had some understanding of the situation in Xihe County and would not have been ignorant.

The Southern Xiongnu Khan, who surrendered to the Han Dynasty, was placed in Meiji County, north of Xihe County. The Southern Xiongnu often rebelled and plundered, and the persecution of Xihe County was the most fierce.

"Since that's the case, then..." County Magistrate Yuanyang hesitated and dared not speak out. He carefully looked at Zhang Liao's face changing, wanting to see if Zhang Liao changed his mind.

Zhang Liao said without compromise: "Whether it is unowned land or mountains, forests and lakes, it can be rented to wealthy families. The term is five or ten years. This will be the primary government order of Xihe County. You must continue to implement it unconditionally. Otherwise, don't blame my sword for being ruthless. While satisfying the appetite of wealthy families, the more taxes I pay, the better. There is no room for negotiation for this."

He was originally from the Mayi family, and his family also occupied a large number of unowned land and then recruited tenants to cultivate. The benefits in the lakes and mountains were also amazing. Whether it was fishing or fur beasts, they were the channels for profit.

Zhang Liao did not want to kill all the people, which caused turmoil under his rule. He only wanted to make the wealthy families pay some benefits to support his army at the lightest cost, and provide protection himself to prevent the wealthy families from being robbed.

Mutual benefits are good for everyone. Currently, the solution to the symptoms but not the root cause is also good. If you want to treat the root cause, Zhang Liao claimed that he does not have the strength yet.

The county magistrate of Yuanyang said bluntly: "Mr. Zhang acts like this and can only benefit for a while. Once the county magistrate transfers, everything will return to the starting point, and the lease period of many years will not play any restraining role."

Zhang Liao asked with concern: "You are Guo Linze, County Magistrate Guo, from the Guo clan of Jinyang."

He naturally knew the several county magistrates and county magistrates under his command. As the prefect of a county, he naturally understood the identity and origin of the person in charge of county seals.

"The lower official comes from the side branch and is not protected by the Jinyang clan." Guo Linze was excited. The county magistrate not only knew his identity, but also pointed out his name in front of him, which shows that he had a certain status in Zhang Liao's heart.

Zhang Liao naturally attaches importance to Guo Linze. He can put himself in his shoes and naturally has to give more attention and will be his assistant in the future.

He used Xihe County as his base to build it. Guo Linze could not know this thought, and he had no possibility of external adjustments. Bingzhou would be his place of prosperity.

"It's not a bad idea to benefit for the moment. I will send a general to be responsible for the military affairs of the two counties of Yuanyang and Yuanyin. While training the surrendered soldiers, I will also help you to resettle the Baibo military leaders." Zhang Liao leaked his plans slightly.

The two county magistrates promised in unison: "We must implement the orders of County Governor Zhang meticulously."

After seeing off the two county magistrates, Zhang Liao considered the issue of the candidates responsible for the military affairs of the two counties. Xu Huang and Han Hao were both good candidates. As for whom to take on this great task, he hesitated for a while.

Given that Xu Huang had served as a county official, even if he was reluctant to let Xu Huang leave his side, he could only transfer Xu Huang. After all, Han Hao lacked experience, and Xu Huang was indeed the best candidate to serve as a major task.

After the order was issued, Zhang Liao called Hu Cai to his side and asked: "You have all surrendered to me. Will Guo detain your family and not let you reunite?"

"No," Hu Cai said confidently: "Guo Dacai won't keep so many elderly, weak, women and children to waste food. If County Governor Zhang asks for it, Guo Da will be happy to be a favor to resolve the unhappiness with County Governor Zhang."

"Are you willing to go to Guo Da to bring someone back to me?"

Zhang Liao wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, and he also wanted to wipe out the Baibo army, but now is not the time. Baibo Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is a camp built by Guo Da. It is impossible to destroy it in one fell swoop. Between the valley peaks, the iron cavalry under his command cannot pacify the Baibo army connected to the camps.

In addition, his current primary target is not the Bai Bo army, but is preparing to participate in the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. His army needs time training urgently, and he does not want to waste time on the extermination of the Bai Bo army.

After all, Bai Bo's army is known to have more than 100,000 people, and it is not so easy to wipe out.

Hu Cai's expression turned dark and he said in confusion: "Aren't the governor Zhang afraid that I will never go back? Return to Guo Da's command?"

Zhang Liao asked in a narrow-minded manner: "Do you do?"
