"What are you going to do?" Zhou Difu glared at Zhang Wencheng and shouted sharply.

Zhang Wencheng sneered: "At the order of Immortal Master Ye, come and seal up the closed grain shop. If there is no grain stored in it, it's best, even if you find half a bucket of grain, you will have to seal it up and confiscate it!"

Zhou Difu's face changed drastically: "How dare you! This is the property of our Zhou family. Even in today's world, we can't confiscate the property of the gentry casually. The chief envoy of the current imperial court is a member of our Zhou family. You are just the lowest warrior, what are you! "

Zhang Wencheng slightly raised his hand, and the hundred riflemen behind him had already raised their rifles.

"Zhou Difu, are you going to give in or not? Immortal masters have orders, and those who dare to stop them will be killed!"

Zhou Difu couldn't help laughing: "Kill the old man? I think you have the guts to touch a single hair of the old man."

Zhang Wencheng was expressionless, and said two words coldly: "Shoot!"

Now that he followed Immortal Ye, there was no turning back. In his eyes, even a word from Immortal Ye had no weight in the eyes of any imperial envoy.

Zhou Difu was still laughing, then he felt a pain in his chest, and then he heard the sound of an explosion. He opened his eyes and looked at the blood oozing from his chest in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Zhang Wencheng really dared to touch him, and even It's not as simple as touching a hair on him, it's killing him.

In Yecheng, the Zhou family was the leader of the gentry, and many gentry were secretly watching the confrontation between the Zhou family's Ding and Ming Weibing, seeing Ming Weibing's attitude, and then deciding whether they really wanted to hand over half of their wealth.

After all, they are different from the Zhou family, which has a big family and a big business. These small gentry have no more than 50 or [-] families, and as many as a hundred.It is impossible to raise hundreds of family members like the Zhou family, if Ye Feiyu is really arrogant.As long as a hundred soldiers are sent out, their homes can be raided.

Seeing Zhou Difu and the servant next to him who suffered an indiscriminate disaster, not only the surrounding gentry were shocked.Even Bo and Yacha, the new directors of Yecheng County Yamen who followed Zhang Wencheng out to seal up the grain store, were taken aback.

Could it be that this piece of Wen Cheng has grown hairs and is really not afraid of the Zhou family's revenge?You must know that the Zhou family has a huge wealth, and the Zhou family's officials and political envoys, in the past, even if there were a hundred households, they would not be able to be the opponents of the Zhou family!

Zhang Wencheng ignored the groaning servants and the surviving Zhou Difu, his cold eyes swept over the terrified Zhou family servants: "Anyone who stands in the way will be killed!"

Many of the riflemen behind him had participated in the battle of Zhaoyuan Fort.It's like blindly worshiping Ye Feiyu. There is no one in this world who can fight against the immortal master. Now Zhang Wencheng represents the immortal master Ye. As long as Zhang Wencheng gives an order, they will execute the order without hesitation.

All the servants, look at me, and then turn your eyes to the immediate family members of the Zhou family who were also shocked.

Zhou Difu was not the only one who led the crowd to protect the grain store.

Zhou Difu's eldest son came back to his senses at this moment, and suddenly yelled terribly: "You killed my father?"

"Everyone give it to me! Kill a rebel and reward a hundred guan! Reward a woman!"

One hundred guan is roughly equivalent to 3 yuan in today's money, which is still quite a temptation for servants, if they kill three or four rebels.It is equivalent to [-] Huaxia coins. According to the truth, they are well-trained servants with high martial arts skills.It is not a big problem for one person to deal with three or four refugee soldiers who have not received any training.

The servants trained by the gentry are actually the same as the generals' personal soldiers. It can be said that they have been brainwashed by the gentry.Even dare to confront the officers and soldiers, otherwise no gentry would spend a lot of money to train servants.At this time, after hearing the call from the young master of the Zhou family, he hesitated a little.There were still many strong and strong men, holding waist knives, gnashing their teeth and killing Zhang Wencheng and others.

Ye County used to be one of the important areas occupied by Kong Youde. Kong Youde was defeated and killed, and the remaining troops here also fled, which made it easy for Ming Wei soldiers to accept Yecheng. Therefore, the gentry and common people in Yecheng did not know the power of assault rifles.

Now, for the first time, the horrific lethality of the weapons manufactured by two levels of civilization beyond this world is shown in the eyes of the gentry and common people in Yecheng.

The distance between the two sides was less than 20 meters. The charge of hundreds of people and the strong physical fitness of the ancients allowed them to have a speed faster than that of the earth's [-]-meter champion. According to theory, it only took two seconds to kill Ming Weibing.

But with the sound of explosions within a short time, the servants of the Zhou family who rushed over fell to the ground, and the ground was instantly stained red with blood. Hundreds of lives were mercilessly snatched away by the impermanence of the underworld. Such dense, short-distance shooting , basically every servant was shot four or five times, and it is impossible for anyone to survive.

Unluckily, the young master of the Zhou family was shot by a stray bullet, and the entire sky cap was overturned, his white brains flowed all over the floor, and he was so dead that he couldn't die anymore.

Although Ye Feiyu knew that the actions of Ma Dingyuan and others would definitely lead to bloody conflicts. Behind the dead, there might be elderly mothers, or children waiting to be fed. The whole family relied on men's monthly money to live, but the colonists never Kindness can be said, after all, what the colonists did was to plunder the resources of this world, no matter how kind they are, they are nothing more than the tears of a crocodile.

The remaining servants of the Zhou family finally couldn't bear the tremendous pressure and fled. Zhang Wencheng ignored them and coldly asked the former Yecheng Yamen to clean up the situation, and personally took people into the rice shop to seal up the food.

What surprised Ye Feiyu was that although Dengzhou and Laizhou were bitterly cold, it was the common people who were poor, and the gentry were not poor at all. Just like the entire Ming Dynasty, the richest people were not the emperor, but these gentry classes.

The grain store was seized, and there were many windfalls. More than 3000 taels of gold and 10,000+ taels of silver were found. The richest people in Dengzhou and Laizhou are grain merchants. Zhang Wencheng and others will definitely not return these gold and silver to the gentry, and transport them back Fort Mingwy.

One tael is more than 37 grams, more than 3000 taels of gold is about 130 kilograms, adding thirteen source crystals to Ye Feiyu, and silver is more valuable, 16 taels of silver actually added eighteen source crystals to Ye Feiyu , about 1 taels of silver for a primary source crystal.

This is the windfall from the seizure of 130 grain shops in five counties. Not counting those shops that opened their doors immediately after seeing the bad situation, the sealed grain totaled more than 20 shi, and the [-] tons bought by Ye Feiyu The food is about the same, enough to feed the people of two state capitals for two months.

Ye Feiyu couldn't help but look forward to it, if those gentry really handed over half of their wealth, how much source crystal would it be worth?This is still a place of bitter cold, what if it is a prosperous place like Yangzhou, Jinling and the capital?

Legend has it that when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he only got 10 taels of silver from the treasury, but he got 7000 million taels from wealthy households in the capital. These are more than 7000 primary source crystals!

Ye Feiyu, who had tasted the sweetness, turned serious and said to Ma Dingyuan and the others: "You have done a good job. There are still three days left before the deadline for these gentry to hand over the field silver. Let the soldiers step up their patrols and find that they are carrying property. Those who go out will be confiscated. In addition, every county government will send soldiers to check the property and land turned over by the gentry, and if anyone is found to be rich in private pockets, they will be severely punished!"

Ye Feiyu has made a plan to collect all the money collected in his private space. Next time he returns to Guinea to get a printing machine to print currency and issue it. Anyway, in this era, it is impossible for anyone to counterfeit banknotes.

As long as the banknotes are linked to food and Ye Feiyu's iron fist rule, it is not afraid that they will not be able to circulate.

Of course, food planting still needs to be carried out. Ye Feiyu can still buy food from one or two state capitals, but the entire Ming Dynasty must have more than [-] million people. Even if one third needs Ye Feiyu to provide food, it is impossible for him Buying such a huge amount of grain, that's why he asked Ma Dingyuan to take back half of the land from the gentry class and distribute it to the people under his rule.

There are many problems in this work, such as unfair distribution, leaving good land to close people, or secretly concealing fields, etc., which need to be dealt with slowly.

However, Ye Feiyu intends to set up complaint points in each county government. If there are many complaints, he will send someone to understand the situation. As more and more people come to him, this arduous task can always be carried out slowly. .

Other warlords and generals, after acquiring the territory, strictly controlled the people and built city walls, etc. Ye Feiyu only had two main jobs, one was to let the people grow food crops, and the other was to step up mining various ores, refine them and sell them to Time store.

The Zhou family and other big families who intend to fight against Ye Feiyu serve as an example, and many gentry have to honestly hand over their wealth and land.

Of course, there must be some people who are cunning and cunning, and falsely report money, but Ye Feiyu also has countermeasures. According to the number of gentry clans, the shops and properties they operate, and the number of acres of fields they own, and cooperate with the investigation, they can roughly calculate the amount of the gentry's family wealth. If there is too much difference between the reported money and silver, the family property will be searched. If the copied gold and silver property exceeds the amount turned in, all will be confiscated.

After copying dozens of great gentry families in this way, the other gentry finally didn't dare to play any tricks, and many people hurriedly made up money and silver, lest the soldiers would come and ransack their homes, leaving nothing left.

Even though the gentry concealed the figures and the officials in charge took a small part of it, Ye Feiyu was very moved by the final figures, 7 taels of gold, more than 200 million taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of copper coins, and many jade, coral and precious stones , one of the extraterrestrial meteorites, whose material is unknown, is actually worth more than a dozen primary source crystals.

As for calligraphy, painting and antiques, they are worthless in the time-space store, so Ye Feiyu naturally wouldn't check them out.

Ye Feiyu was very generous to his subordinates who did things for him. Ma Dingyuan asked Ma Dingyuan to distribute 1 taels of gold and tens of thousands of copper coins. Zhang Wencheng and other hundred households each distributed a hundred taels of gold. It's a lot of money, it's their hard work.

But at the same time, Ye Feiyu also sent people to warn these officials, don't try to hide it from Ye Xianshi's eyes and ears, and those who commit crimes and embezzle money and money will be executed directly. There is no human kindness at all. The government is clean and the people are harmonious. (To be continued..)
