Chapter 154: Get rich by looting houses (please subscribe)
  After Lin Feng considered the strategy for managing the sacred tree, it was already noon.

Just as he was about to have lunch at the county government office, Fang Xiaoyu came in with Song Weifu.

When Lin Feng saw them, he pointed at the dining table and said, "You guys are here, Xiaoyu. Let's sit down and eat together. We'll talk about everything later. The world is not as big as eating."

"Okay." Fang Xiaoyu was used to following Lin Feng and knew that he didn't like to make a distinction between superior and inferior. He took the bowl and chopsticks and made a bowl of rice and sat down to eat.

Song Weifu had no such experience. In the past, when he was in the Shenmu County Government Office, how could he have the opportunity to eat with the county magistrate? They, the officials, were not qualified to eat at the same table as the county magistrate.

So I hesitated and didn't know whether to stay for dinner or go out first.

"Song Dianshi, hurry up, you still have to do errands after dinner." Lin Feng urged.

"Oh, I'll do it right away." Song Weifu carefully packed a bowl of rice and sat down with half his buttocks.

"Sit down and eat. You should eat big and big. It's okay. Mr. Lin is not particular about that." Fang Xiaoyu noticed Song Weifu's nervousness and reminded him.

"Xiaoyu is right, you have to listen to me on business matters. We are a family in everything we eat. Don't be too formal. Get more food and eat it as soon as possible." Lin Feng said as he took a chopstick of food to Song Weifu.

Song Weifu was so grateful that he was about to stand up when Fang Xiaoyu held him down and said, "Eat, eat. There is no big deal at the dinner table."

Less than half a day after Song Weifu took refuge with Lin Feng, he was already infected by this relaxed team atmosphere. He was a worthy leader and he secretly vowed to do his best to serve Lin Feng.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Lin Feng changed into tea and took a sip and asked: "How is the search of the Guo family going?"

"The head of the Guo family and his family are under control. The Guo family's warehouse has been sealed and is waiting for adults to check it out first." Fang Xiaoyu knew Lin Feng's special hobby, although he didn't know that if he went in and took a look, he would come up empty-handed. Come out, what fun is there?

"Okay, then let's go and take a look. Song Dianshi, please go and verify the relevant evidence of the Guo family. We can't punish them for being innocent. A public trial will be held tomorrow to announce the charges of these people." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood, I will go and handle it immediately. There is so much evidence of the Guo family's crimes. It would be enough to find just a few of the main ones to confiscate their homes and behead them." Song Weifu responded.

"Let's take a look at which other large households are better and have not committed any major crimes. We still have to protect their property and cannot just shout and kill them. We will have to rely on them to develop agricultural and commercial businesses in the future." Lin Feng continued.

"Understood, the problems of other large households should not be serious. I will go to the execution room to look through the files and report to the adults." After Song Weifu finished speaking, he took the order and left.

He felt relieved after hearing what Lin Feng said. It seemed that Lin Feng was indeed ready to dominate the world. He was not like those peasant armies who only wanted to grab money and goods after occupying a place.

Shenmu County, Guo Mansion.

Guo Mansion is located on the most prosperous Yaqian Street in Shenmu County. It covers an area of ​​about three or four acres and is a large courtyard with three entrances.

The Guo family members were all detained in a side courtyard for the time being, and Lin Feng was not interested in bringing him to trial. He could just leave this kind of gangster to Song Weifu to convict him.

The main reason he came to the Guo Family Courtyard was to check out their warehouse, and to replenish his own small vault with gold and silver.

Fang Xiaoyu naturally knew Mr. Lin's hobbies. After ordering the door of the Guo family's warehouse to be opened, he consciously stood guard at the door.

Lin Feng went in and saw that this warehouse was larger than the Guo family's in Fugu, but the commercial warehouse and the private warehouse here were separated and were set up in two rooms respectively.

Lin Feng first entered the Guo family's private treasury, which was full of gold and silver. Shenmu County is larger than Fugu, and it also served as the prefectural government of Shenmu Road, so it is naturally more prosperous.

Therefore, as the largest grain and oil merchant in Shenmu County, the Guo family has accumulated a lot of wealth.

Most of the Guo family's silver was cast into large silver ingots. Lin Feng picked it up and found that a large piece weighed about fifty kilograms, which most people couldn't carry.

It seems that this is also an important arrangement for the Guo family to prevent theft. If a thief comes in, he can still escape with such a heavy silver ingot.

After counting, there were 22 silver ingots in total, which was worth more than taels.

There is also a silver box, which contains some scattered silver, about eight or nine hundred taels, which is probably used for daily expenses.

In addition, there are two small boxes containing gold, each containing three hundred taels of gold.

The total value of these gold and silver is about 30,000 taels, which makes the county extremely wealthy.

In addition to gold and silver, there are several large cabinets of pearls, jade, precious medicinal materials, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are similar to those in various warehouses.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, all counties were similar. Wealth was concentrated in the homes of a few wealthy gentry families. These people were small in number and could not spend much money even if they tried hard. A large amount of gold and silver was locked in warehouses, resulting in insufficient gold and silver circulating in the market, and the economy continued to suffer. shrink.

Lin Feng thought about it and took away twelve silver ingots and two boxes of gold. He also took away some relatively valuable treasures from the shelves, with a total value of about 2 taels.

Of course the rest must be handed over to the government, otherwise it would be unjustifiable to raid such a wealthy family without any decent income. Besides, both the Zhenming Army and the county government need to get income from the seized property, and Lin Feng cannot have to pay for all expenses personally.

Lin Feng then went to the Guo family's commercial warehouse, which is the commercial warehouse, and took a look. It was filled with grain and oil reserves in large quantities. There was no room in his space to store grain and oil, so they were all confiscated.

Especially the food, which is at least several thousand dan. During this period, the Shenmu Zhenming Army will not have to worry about food.

After leaving Guo's house, Lin Feng asked Qian Zhuo, the deputy captain of the Guards, to stay and arrange to continue to search the property, register it and return everything to the public.

Then, Lin Feng took Fang Xiaoyu and other personal guards to the Zheng family in Liuta Town.

The Zheng family's Wubao covers an area of ​​dozens of acres, with courtyard walls built around it and arrow towers at the four corners.

This defensive configuration can already be used sideways in Shenmu County.

But it also depends on who you compare with. In front of the first battalion of cavalry armed to the teeth led by Wang Qin, this Xiaowu Fort is a scumbag.

Wang Qin ordered the Han cavalry to attack. A volley of fire cannons hit the servants of the Zheng family who were guarding the wall. They cried and screamed, holding their heads and running away. Then he ordered a wave of thunder to be thrown, and then he used a wooden bumper to knock him away in the smoke of the explosion. The front door of the Zheng family.

Once the gate was lost, all the remaining servants of the Zheng family surrendered honestly. They usually dealt with unarmed miners and civilians, but they had never seen such a brutal attack.

When Lin Feng arrived, the entire fort-attacking operation had just ended, and thick smoke was still rising in the compound.

"Wang Qin, is the attack on the Zheng family compound going well?" Lin Feng rode up and asked.

"It went very well. We just occupied the compound and I'm going to clean it up before inviting you over." Wang Qin replied.

"Hurry up and organize the cleanup. In addition, we must ask Qingqing where the mine operated by the Zheng family is and send someone to take it over." Lin Feng ordered.

"Okay, my lord, please wait outside the courtyard while I go in to clear out the remaining enemies in the courtyard." After Wang Qin finished speaking, he went to the Zheng family courtyard.

After a while, Wang Qin came out. He walked quickly to Lin Feng and said: "Sir, the yard has been cleaned up. I have also asked clearly. The Zheng family mainly controls two large coal mines and a quartz mine. They have been arrested. His housekeeper will come to lead the way, and I will take someone to take over."

"Okay, go ahead. Pay attention to mobilizing the miners to fight against the foremen of the mines, and win over the miners to open mines for us as soon as possible." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood!" Wang Qin took the order and left.

Lin Feng took Fang Xiaoyu into the Zheng family compound and checked the warehouse. The money in it was far less than that of the Guo family, only about 18,000 taels. Lin Feng took away 10,000 taels.

He came out and briefly interrogated the Zheng family. Because there have been more wars in Shaanxi in recent years, the risk of mineral transportation is very high. The Zheng family has mined a large amount of minerals that have not been sold. In addition, the Zheng family has been in business for a relatively short time, unlike the Guo family. It takes a long time to accumulate.

In addition, the nouveau riche like the Zheng family need to spend more money to give to Jiang Dianshi. They also have to suppress the resistance of the miners, recruit a lot of servants, purchase some weapons and so on, so they don't have a lot of money to save.

After Lin Feng asked, he saw that there was nothing of value, so he left Fang Xiaoyu to organize the aftermath, and returned to the county with a few personal guards.

After returning to the county town, Lin Feng called Song Weifu and brought a few personal guards to search the property of Jiang Mingjie, the former official of the county government. This guy has been controlled and his house has been sealed.

It was very convenient to check in the past. Lin Feng mainly went to his warehouse to take a look. There were about thirteen to four thousand taels of silver in it, which was richer than Ding Dianshi of Fugu County at the time.

Lin Feng collected about half of the 7,000 taels of silver and stopped. He still left a little more for the Shenmu County Government to carry out some construction in the next step.

Song Weifu saw Lin Feng go into the warehouse and look around before he came out empty-handed. He also asked thoughtfully if he wanted to send the confiscated money to Mr. Lin's office. Lin Feng righteously refused and let all the confiscated money be temporarily released. Housekeeping.

He said that Song Weifu was greatly admired. What a selfless and good official he was!

After Lin Feng returned to the county government office and closed the door, he immediately entered the cabin space, ready to sort out the recent harvest and arrange the belongings inside.

After spending 2 taels of silver in preparation for the rebellion last time, it turned out that there were only about 3.3 taels of silver left in the cabin space, which was almost bottomed out.

In the recent period, thirty thousand taels have been collected from the General's Mansion in Yulin City, another thirty-seven thousand taels have been collected from three houses in Shenmu County, and the small treasury in the away space has reached nearly one hundred thousand taels.

Rows of cash boxes filled up half of the economy class cabin of the passenger plane. Lin Feng felt very satisfied when he saw the harvest in the full cabin.

No wonder some people are willing to be misers. Looking at the increasing wealth and counting the money, it is indeed very satisfying.
