Chapter 63 Searching the Liu Family in Dabao
  Confiscating a house brings in money quickly, but it also brings the most hatred.

When Lin Feng thought about going to ransack his house tomorrow, he immediately thought of going to the Minzhuang Brigade. These days, he must firmly grasp the force in his hands to feel at ease.

In the afternoon, we came to the old martial arts field in the county seat.

Sun Tiezhu was training with a group of team members. When he saw Lin Feng coming, he quickly ran over to greet him: "The county magistrate is here. Can you see how we are doing in training?"

Lin Feng glanced at the Minzhuang team members who were training. After what he said last time, they had uniformed their uniforms, which were similar to the uniforms of county government officials. They just changed the circled word "Yi" in the middle to the word "Zhuang", which was just as ugly.

But with the unified uniform, it still looks quite similar.

I stepped forward and patted the team members who were training a few times. I felt that they were much stronger and their hands were stronger. Their weapons were also replaced with standard machetes made by "Sledgehammer Iron Art". When they swung them, the swords were shining brightly. Still quite impressive.

In particular, the dozen or so veteran team members who had participated in the attack on the Gaoliang Village last time had experienced the baptism of fire and were obviously much more experienced.

It seems that this military training relies on actual combat training.

After turning around in a circle, Lin Feng said with satisfaction: "Yes, I look a bit like an army now, but you can't stop. You still have to practice hard. The more you sweat, the less you will bleed in battle."

"The more you sweat in normal times, the less you will bleed in battle. Sir, you summed it up perfectly. We should write this sentence out as our training slogan." Fang Tiezhu actually knows how to flatter someone, and he does it very well.

"How many of you are there now?" Lin Feng asked.

"There are now eighty people in total. Jia Sili from the barracks came over just now and said that you, the county magistrate, have given instructions to expand the people's strength team to 200 people. We are planning to recruit people these days." Fang Tiezhu replied. .

"Yes, I have arranged it for the barracks and gave them a thousand taels of silver to do this. You must work with the barracks to recruit good personnel. Don't recruit those ruffians, otherwise they will be killed. One rat droppings spoiled the soup."

"I understand, I don't want this kind of person for free."

At this time, Lin Feng walked towards the accommodation area of ​​the Minzhuang Team and asked as he walked: "If we expand to 200 people, will there be enough room to live in?"

Fang Tiezhu pointed to a row of houses and said: "The old martial arts venue in the county is quite big. This whole row of houses can be used for accommodation. It is enough to squeeze in, but some of them are rather dilapidated and should be repaired." one time."

Lin Feng walked in, took a look and said, "It's too shabby. Let's spend some money to renovate it. The food should also be better. The training intensity has increased, and nutrition must keep up."

"Thank you, sir, but this money?" Fang Tiezhu started to take the opportunity to ask for money again.

"How much silver do you need?"

"The renovation of this house is simple. You can just do it yourself. Buy some materials and beds. Twenty or thirty taels should be enough. Food expenses are calculated at 120 cents per person, which means taels a month." Fang Tiezhu said. When it comes to asking for money, my mind is much brighter and I can calculate quickly.

"Okay, you need 300 taels first to find a house, which will be enough for 2 months." Lin Feng still took out another third of Su Shunnian's last taels of silver without any hesitation.

Fang Tiezhu was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Thank you so much, Lord County! Thank you so much, Lord County!"

"I've given you the money. I have to train this team well so that it can fight at critical moments."

"Don't worry, Lord County. I guarantee that wherever you point us, we will hit you."

"Okay, tomorrow you will first send twenty people to the Liu family in Dabao Town to ransack the house. Keep it confidential and don't tell the people below. Just take them there tomorrow." Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood, I promise to complete the task!". When Fang Tiezhu heard that his house was going to be ransacked, he immediately became energetic.

Dabao Town, Liu family.

Lin Feng personally led a large team of county government officials to the door of Liu's mansion. After the government officials knocked on the door, the Liu family's mistress, housekeeper Liu Sanjin and others came out. Prisoner Jiang Yin stepped forward, took out a document with the county government's seal and read out: "After review, the Liu family of Dabao Town colluded with the mountain bandit Jiufeng in an attempt to seize the summer tax money of Fugu County. The evidence is conclusive. Now, The housekeeper Liu Sanjin who collaborated with the bandits will be arrested and his property will be confiscated in accordance with the law."

"Ah!" Mistress Liu exclaimed and fainted, and several maids quickly supported her.

Fang Xiaoyu led the government servants forward to capture Liu Sanjin. He knew he was outmatched and did not resist, but looked at Lin Feng and said:

"Master Lin, both the master and the young master of the Liu family were arrested by you, and the young master was sentenced to beheading. Today you came to raid the Liu family again. Are you planning to form a deadly feud? Don't forget that the second master of the Liu family is The Yulin Guards are guarding thousands of households, so you must be careful during this time of war and chaos."

As expected, Liu Sanjin grew up in the Liu Mansion. He was very loyal and had seen some things in the world. He actually threatened Lin Feng in person.

"Oh, does a small guard Qianhu still dare to send troops to attack our valley privately? Haha, if you dare to collude with bandits to harm people, you must be prepared for this day."

Lin Feng said disapprovingly, since Liu Shangjin was sentenced to death and they were already mortal enemies, why did he care about having one more person to blame for confiscating his house? It's just a guard for a thousand households. If the soldiers come to block it, there is nothing to be afraid of. How can it be okay if you don't avenge your grievances and wronged yourself?

Liu Sanjin was reluctantly taken away and went to the county prison to reunite the master and servant of the Liu family.

After the announcement, Fang Tiezhu rushed in with his people and took control of various places in the Liu family. Lin Feng went to the Liu family treasury by familiar routes.

When I went in, I saw that the money inside was much less than last time. There were only three or four silver boxes, about five or six thousand taels of silver.

After all, after Lin Feng collected a lot of wool, the Liu family gave away a lot of gifts. If it weren't for the summer grain harvest and selling, it would probably be empty.

Although the money is a little short, we have come here and we must not be disappointed. Lin Feng directly collected 3000 taels for the space, and also collected other valuable ginseng, fur and the like.

After finishing this operation, Lin Feng stopped searching elsewhere and waited for the report in the lobby of Liu Mansion. Now that you have become a county magistrate, you must pay attention to the impact.

After about half an hour, the various inspection armies tallied up Liu's belongings.

Su Shunnian flipped through the simple account books and came over to report: "Your Majesty, the Liu family's property has been calculated. There is only a little more than 2000 taels of cash in cash, and more than 8000 acres of farmland. Originally, about 500 acres belonged to the Liu family. Most of the others were seized by them at all costs over the years. There are also 3000 shi of grain, all of which were just harvested this year."

"Leave them the 500 acres of land that originally belonged to the Liu family, and leave 100 shi of food for them. Our county government can't kill them all quickly. Those who have not committed crimes must be given a way to live, and the others must be brought back to the county government." Lin Feng After giving the instructions, he took the lead in withdrawing.

After all, confiscation of a house offends people too harshly, and if you stay there for a long time, you will easily be plotted against.

When they returned to the county government office, Su Shunnian ran over and asked for instructions with a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty, please keep these 2000 taels of silver in our household. There is no money left in the warehouse."

"Okay, you miser, let me keep it at your place for now. The food we copied must also be collected. Next, we will vigorously recruit refugees to Fugu. There will be a shortage of food." Lin Feng ordered.

"Ah, every county is trying its best not to take in these refugees. Who can afford to feed and drink them for free?"

"So you are a small farmer. Just seeing that the refugees can eat them means they can't work. What do you do now that you don't need people for?

Population is the first resource. As a house secretary, please remember this. If the population of Fugu decreases, I will only ask you. " Lin Feng cursed, hating that iron was not made of steel.

"Hehe, don't I feel sorry for the money and food? I understand, I understand." Su Shunnian saw that Lin Feng was angry and quickly put away his usual stinginess.

　It's better to make money faster by ransacking homes.
