On the other hand,
Li Jing led 100,000 troops straight into the pass.
Perhaps it was because they wanted to send Li Jing and the others out of the exit as soon as possible so that they could enter the Hetao area. That way, they could make a difference.
However, what they did not expect was that after Li Jing's army entered the pass, they split into more than ten groups. Almost everywhere they went, after entering the city, they took down all the local officials with lightning speed.
Anyone who dared to resist would be killed.
This scene also directly stunned those aristocratic families and officials.
They had never expected that Li Jing's butcher's knife this time was actually aimed at them.
If it was an anti-corruption mission, the military would not be needed. After all, they did not know how to investigate cases.
However, this action was far beyond everyone's expectations. It was precisely because they did not expect it that the officials opened the city gates with peace of mind.
This gave Li Jing's troops an excellent opportunity. After they took down the city, they ordered the city to be sealed for a few days. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
In a short three to four days, Li Jing had already completed his arrangements and controlled all the officials. When the aristocratic families realized that things could not be done, they also cut their losses in time.
Countless aristocratic families were forced to cut off an arm, and it could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
They could only swallow their anger.
They had underestimated Li Er's determination and ability.
This surprise move was simply unheard of in their eyes.
When the news spread, the world was in an uproar.
When the news spread to Chang 'an, the whole country was shocked. No one expected that Li Shimin would take such a big step and use the war as a cover to firmly control Guanzhong in one go.
This attack directly hit Retired Emperor Li Yuan's seven inches, so much so that he no longer had the strength to retaliate.
After this battle, no other aristocratic families dared to stand on the Retired Emperor's side.
When Li Yuan received this news, he sighed deeply. In an instant, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years. He walked down from his high position and sang and danced with the concubines below the stage, as if he had gone crazy…

"Milord, the disaster victims have been rebuilt. According to Milord's arrangements, everyone drinks water and has good hygiene habits. There has been no case of malaria or vomiting. Milord is really a god.”
Liu Rengui said to Ling Feng with admiration in the Qingshui County government office.
"You didn't come here just to praise me, did you?”
Ling Feng sat on the recliner and stretched lazily.
"Uh... Isn't this something to be happy about?"
Liu Rengui looked at Ling Feng in confusion. This was a great achievement.
"What's there to be happy about? It's within expectations!”
Ling Feng pursed his lips and closed his eyes.
"Sir, the disaster victims have been rebuilt. What are their next arrangements?”
Liu Rengui saw how indifferent Ling Feng was to fame and fortune and admired him even more.
Sincerely doing practical things for the people without asking for anything in return was a good official. If it were any other official, they would have long boasted about this matter and reported it to the higher ups.
"Can't you arrange it yourself?"
Ling Feng directly became a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Sir, it's really because we have enough people in the coal mine. It's not easy to store too much, and I can't find another way to arrange for thousands of people at once!”
Liu Rengui said, somewhat ashamed.
"Hmm? How about this? Let them spread all the burnt coal cinders in front of the north gate's wall. Clear the weeds in that area and spread them out. Don't be afraid of not having enough coal cinders. All the people's ashes have been piled up at the north gate over the years. They have already piled up into two mountains.”
Ling Feng thought about it and gave his own plan.
"Why do we have to do this useless thing? Can't we just let them reclaim the irrigation works? Or is it not good to build a road?"
Ling Feng's words gave him some ideas. However, the farmers were about to harvest, and it didn't seem possible to reclaim the irrigation works. It would affect the farmers 'production.
If they wanted to build a road, they didn't have any large stones for construction. They had to transport them from Jiangnan, and the cost was extremely high. The tax revenue from Qingshui County was not enough.
"If you could do it, why would you ask me? Just do as I say!"
Ling Feng waved his hand, telling him to quickly disappear from his sight.
"Yes, my lord!"
Liu Rengui opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. As the county deputy, he had to cooperate with the county magistrate's work. Moreover, there must be a deeper meaning behind the lord's actions.
Since Daren didn't want to say it, the matter would be revealed to the world one day.
