"How much salt is needed? He said so seriously?"

In the study room in the backyard of the county government office, after listening to Uncle Fu's report, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of Magistrate Chang, and the action of ordering tea became a little heavier, causing the foam to splash.

Uncle Fu nodded: "That's true. Han Er said that as long as the coarse salt is supplied, there will be as much as possible."

I used to think that the other party had a way, but now it seems that I have mastered the method of refining refined salt.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Chang said with a deep meaning: "What do you think about Xiaowang Village and Han Er?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu was shocked.

He heard the meaning of his Alang's words and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Alang, don't be reckless. Not to mention the hundreds of villagers in Xiaowang Village, it is not easy to deal with just Han Er and his group."

"Although the county government has recruited hundreds of archers these days, they are all rural farmers and have no combat power. Han Er is extremely brave. If he is escaped by him, he will definitely come to Alang for revenge with his flaws. At that time, he will be afraid that there will be endless troubles."

Tsk!

A trace of disappointment flashed in County Magistrate Chang's eyes.

He just became greedy and wanted to eliminate Han Zhen and extract the formula of refined salt with his own hands.

It was just Uncle Fu's reminder that he poured a basin of cold water on him and immediately woke up.

If Han Er can be successfully captured, everyone will be happy.

If the other party ran away...

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Chang couldn't help but tremble.

Some days ago, Han Zhen rushed into the county town alone, as if he was entering a no-man's majesty, which really scared many people.

This includes him.

Forget it, cooperate and cooperate.

He didn't want to stay on Jingdong Road for a day. He made enough money earlier and went back to Kaifeng City to enjoy a wealthy life.

Seeing that his Alang woke up, Uncle Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued, "Alang, Han Er, to show his sincerity, gave the first batch of goods a discount. I calculated that I could save more than 400 chunks of money."

"Um!"

County Magistrate Chang nodded and said with satisfaction: "This ruffian also understands some human nature."

The next second, Uncle Fu continued, "It's just that Han Er said that he also wanted to see Alang's sincerity."

"Hmph! I did not send a letter to the Prefecture, and dispatching the Zhenhai Army to suppress him is already the greatest sincerity, and I dared to make more sense."

County Magistrate Chang snorted coldly and asked, "What do he want?"

Uncle Fu replied: "Ten oxen and twenty donkeys, the money will be paid."

Hearing Han Zhen’s request, County Magistrate Chang couldn’t help but frown: “What exactly did he mean?”

There are not a hundred or eighty bandit gangs near Linzi County.

But most of these bandits were fugitives in the mountains, and occasionally plundered merchants, which was not very popular, so the government was too lazy to take care of them.

Like Han Zhen, who blatantly occupied a village, is really a scorpion pooping, and a portion of poison!

It wouldn't work if he rebelled.

Because after those rebel bandits occupied the village, they would immediately kill the landlords and release grain, and then attack the county town with farmers, so as to quickly get out of the big force.

Han Zhen killed Wang Yuanwai, but instead of hiding the people, he instead conspired with him to start a business...

It's totally confusing.

You are a bandit, what's the use of making more money?

Even the county town can't get in, so there is no land to spend.

Just as he was confused, Fu Bo, who was standing beside him, reminded: "Alang, is Han Er's intention to bring revenge?"

Recruitment?

County Magistrate Chang took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

First, they killed officials and occupied the village, and then secretly made money.

Waiting for the imperial court's letter of surrender.

Then I will take the job with my wealth and live a happy life.

It is impossible to say that they will become officials in the court in the future.

The county magistrate Chang said, "I underestimated him. It is really not easy for a rogue to have such vision and thoughts."

Uncle Fu asked, "Alang is this acknowledged?"

"You tell him that there are too many ten oxen, at most five."

Cattle are an extremely important strategic resource in any dynasty. In addition to helping farmers cultivate land, cow leather, horns and ox tendons are all war preparation materials, and can make armor and strong crossbows.

This is why it is necessary to punish slaughtering plowing oxen without permission.

How many cows are in a county are registered. Even if the cows die of illness or old age in the family of farmers, they still need to report to the county government and wait for the government to verify.

The ten plowing oxen were so conspicuous. The Xu family and Zheng family in the county were now staring at him.

Even if five oxen are granted, they cannot be delivered in one go and need to be transported separately to cover up the eyes and ears.

Uncle Fu nodded at first, then said with concern: "Now that Xiaowang Village has been occupied by Han Er, how should Alang explain to the prefecture and what will be the taxes in the future?"

"After the bandit Han Er killed the officials, he hid in the deep mountains. What is the relationship with Xiaowang Village?"

County Magistrate Chang was also helpless. Han Zhen killed the official and occupied the village, but his magistrate had to cover it up for him.

It's really ridiculous.

For the sake of money, I will just be a foolish official.

As for taxation, I will call Liu Yong to find Xiaowang Village at that time.

Then Han Zhen is a smart person, I think he will not refuse to give it to him.

When he heard the words of the county magistrate Chang, Uncle Fu felt strange and smiled bitterly: "Alang, after this business is decided, you need to find someone who can trust to take care of it. If I run hard, I will definitely be seen by those who are interested."

County Magistrate Chang waved his hand: "It's okay, I will write a letter later and go to my hometown in Ezhou to ask Yuanchen to come and help me."

Officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were not allowed to do business, but there were policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

If an official himself cannot do business, he will seek his relatives as a white glove.

County Magistrate Chang has no siblings at home, so he plans to find his wife's younger brother to help.

...

...

The next day.

At dawn, two ox carts drove out of Linzi County, followed by ten donkeys.

The two ox carts were loaded with cargo, but they were covered with tart cloth, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

Just by looking at the heavy steps of the ox pulling the cart, I knew that the goods were not light.

The same is true for the donkey behind, carrying baskets on both sides, and slight jingling sounds made while walking.

When passing through the city gate, the yamen runner who was in trouble looked curious: "Zhou Tian, ​​why did you leave the city again? What is your fortune?"

Zhou Tian glanced at him: "You can ask the errands ordered by the magistrate?"

When he heard that it was an errand instructor Chang's instructions, the yamen runner immediately shut up.

When the ox cart walked away, the yamen runner spat: "What awesome thing!"

Uncle Fu sat on the ox cart, his body shaking constantly along the loess path.

It's time for someone to come, otherwise he would run to Xiaowang Village every few days and his old bones would be broken.

After more than an hour, I crossed a small hill again, and Xiaowang Village was ahead.

Suddenly, a sound came from the forest beside it.

Immediately afterwards, Monkey and Xiao Chong crawled out with Park Knife in hand.

Zhou Tian complained: "I know I'm timid, but I always scare me."

"Ha ha!"

The monkey laughed and quickly walked to the ox cart and explained: "We don't want to get into the forest either. The mosquitoes in the mountains are very poisonous. It will be fine after a while. Brother Han said that he would build a village on the mountain ahead in a few days. Then we won't have to turn around the mountain, just stay in the village."

"What are you doing in the village?" Zhou Tian looked puzzled.

The monkey replied casually: "It is said that the mountains are not peaceful, and it is used to block the bandits."

Stop the bandits?

Uncle Fu on another ox cart only found it funny.

Aren't you bandits?

Besides, there are some more fierce bandits in Linzi County than you?

This village is probably used to defend against officers and soldiers!

When I came yesterday, Uncle Fu paid special attention to it. Although the mountain in front was not high, there were strange rocks in the mountains, which were extremely steep and difficult to climb.

Only a rugged mountain road can pass by on the hillside. If a village is built, only a hundred strong men need to be sent to guard the attack of thousands of officers and soldiers.

By that time, Xiaowang Village completely became Han Zhen’s personal belonging.

However, what does this have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Uncle Fu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Chapter completed!
