"Yes, yes, the Divine King is truly thoughtful. I am still too narrow-minded."
Magistrate Tian glanced at the skinny people kneeling on the ground and nodded in agreement.
It is indeed not suitable to eat coarse grains when you have been hungry for too long. It will upset your stomach and cause more trouble.
After all, he is the God King, so he has a big vision and can give away so many good things just by saying so.
Magistrate Tian glanced at his subordinates who were busy and sweating, and his eyes flickered slightly.
He looked at Xiao Yunzhan and asked with a chuckle,
"Prince Yongchang, I wonder if the county magistrates and officials in Shuitian City can receive their salaries?"
These people also had little food and drink. The common people all ate fine grains, but their barley porridge was so thin that they couldn't even catch the barley in it by rolling up their trouser legs and getting in.
Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned. To be honest, he was only concerned about the soldiers and civilians, and he had never thought about how to deal with these government officials.
"After the registration is completed, let the officials come over to see him."
All the government officials in the city should be at the parade ground, and it will be fine as long as the county magistrates are there.
Shuitian City is now his base camp. If the officials of various governments know what is good for them, he will not move their positions.
But manpower must be deployed.
"Yes, I will inform them right away."
When Magistrate Tian heard this, he responded happily and hurriedly walked towards his subordinates who were looking forward to it.
Prince Yongchang finally remembered to meet them alone.
In the morning, his subordinates followed him and asked what to do with them. After all, they were officials appointed by Emperor Wu of Liang. Although they had submitted to the Divine King, they were afraid that King Yongchang would not trust them.
Especially some county magistrates whose families are still in the capital are extremely nervous.
Of course they knew that following the God King was the right path, but their families were tied to the capital, and they simply could not give up their families.
........
"Pick a few literate people from Zhujia Village and place them in various counties. Those officials in the capital who have families will be temporarily confined to their respective prefectures."
Lin Yiran glanced at the officials.
Seeing several people frowning tightly and looking worried, she immediately understood that these people must have connections in the capital.
When Zhu Changshou heard Lin Yiran's words, his eyes widened with excitement and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
Oh my God, the people of Zhujia Village are really going to be liberated and sing like serfs.
He went directly from a small soldier to the person who supervised the county magistrate. This is a very high position.
Several people from Zhujia Village who were nearby also looked at Lin Yiran with excited eyes shining and red faces, hoping that they would be called upon.
Xiao Yunzhan nodded, "Okay, then what about the food and drink for these imprisoned officials?"
We can't just give the imprisoned officials free food and drink and support them for free.
However, if they are confined and left alone, it would not be a good thing if they starve to death.
After all, these people were only implicated by their families and their crimes did not deserve the death penalty.
"Let them exchange silver or gold, silver, and jewelry. We're not raiding their homes because they've submitted to the Divine King. But if they want food, they have to exchange it for something."
Lin Yiran immediately thought of the antiques and gold, silver and jewelry in the officials' homes.
A clean county magistrate can earn ten thousand taels of silver in three years, and the county magistrate at the border will have even more gold, silver and jewelry.
They may have no food left, but they definitely still have gold, silver and jewelry.
There are often wars on the border, and there will be spoils of war every time there is a war. Not all the spoils of war will be handed over, so they must have a lot of treasures in their hands.
Lin Yiran's eyes lit up slightly, and she glanced at the officials surrounding Magistrate Tian one by one.
She couldn't help but want to go to those officials' homes and take a look around.
Unfortunately, Shuitian City is the base camp, and she really can't just take it all away at once, as this will easily cause panic among the people.
In a city favored by the God King, there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the law. Doesn't this make people doubt the ability of the God King?
"Also, merchants in Shuitian City have to exchange goods for food. We can't just give it away for free."
Lin Yiran thought about it and added another one.
The people had no money or food, so they could only sign up to join the army and receive salaries.
Officials and merchants are different. They have no food but they have money.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran's eyes that lit up when she mentioned gold, silver and jewelry, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
She still loves money so much. After he conquers the capital, he will give all the gold, silver and jewelry in the national treasury to Lin Yiran.
As long as she likes it, he is willing to give it to her.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"The people of Zhujia Village have placed two people next to each county magistrate to act as a supervisor and learn from them. If they were to be directly responsible for the county magistrate's official duties, they would surely be completely confused and wouldn't know where to start. They would need some time to learn and adapt..."
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran seriously.
He knew that Lin Yiran particularly valued the people of Zhujia Village and wanted to make use of them.
Of course, the people of Zhujia Village are also quite competitive.
During his breaks, he often saw people from Zhujia Village gathered together, writing and drawing on the ground, and studying together.
The soldiers from other villages would lie on the ground with their legs spread out when they took a break, but the people from Zhujia Village would sit on the ground and study when they took a break. They were indeed worthy of being used.
However, they only learned a few words, which was far from enough to manage a county.
