The first thing Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to do was to bury the corpses, the corpses of the old bandits who had their heads cut off, and the corpses of those in the Fan family.

The latter, in particular, must be buried before anyone else finds out.

As for the corpses of other thieves and many Meng family nurses, they will be ignored for the time being, first, there are too many corpses, and there are corpses everywhere in the entire Zhuangzi, and there are more than 400 corpses in the Meng family's nursing home, plus nearly 1,000 corpses left by the thieves, which can be buried in a few days and nights.

The second is that these corpses should be left to the official master, and the official master must know the fact of the looting and know the ferocity of those thieves, so that Qin Chuan's head can be sold more expensively.

And Meng Guiming's family ...... Qin Chuan was kind and asked his subordinates to help him move all the corpses of his family into the ancestral hall, and then help him handle the funeral after the urgent matters were over, which made Meng Guiming cry with gratitude.

The second thing Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to do was to recruit manpower, and he was too few now.

In addition to people who can fight, he also needs all kinds of craftsmen, croppers, and even women who cook and wash clothes and warm the bed.

Recruiting people is actually very simple, now there are homeless people everywhere, he only needs to let out the rumor, saying that Mengjiazhuang has food to eat, and countless homeless people will flock to it.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to release the news directly, in that case, Mengjiazhuang would be overwhelmed by the displaced people.

He asked Lao Huang and Lynx to go to Jingyou Town, thirty miles to the north, the former was honest and honest in appearance, and he smirked when he saw people, and the latter was clever enough, and these two people were easier to deceive.

Let these two goods pretend to be the grandfather and grandson of the homeless, and deceive some homeless people to come over, it is best to have some family members, there are family members in the village, those people will be loyal to Mengjiazhuang, of course, as soon as the time comes, Qinchuan will change the Zhuangzi to Qinjiazhuang, or change it to Jiuji Cottage.

Another target of recruitment is absenteeism, the Meng family has an iron mine and a coal yard in Montenegro, two iron-making blast furnaces, and a total of seven or eight hundred miners and furnaces, these miners are the best source of soldiers, and the Meng family's nursing courtyard is mostly composed of miners.

Originally, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the management of private iron mines was very strict, and only one furnace was allowed to be built in each iron mine, and the maximum number of furnace players was not more than 50, but now, as long as the iron class is on time, and then the official and old man are honored in place, this ban is in vain.

No one in the Meng family is an official in the government, and the background is not hard enough, so they dare not exploit on a large scale, after all, the bigger the business, the greater the appetite of the government, once the official master is unhappy, he will not be able to track it down at all.

Shanxi coal mines are notoriously rich, and the mine owners of this era have long known how to burn coal and make iron, and Meng Guiming is no exception.

Montenegro has both iron and coal, although it is not a symbiosis of ore deposits, but the two mines are not far away, Meng Guiming started two furnaces in the coal-producing area, and the iron ore dug out by the mine was pulled to the coal mine by mule and horse-drawn cart for smelting.

In the past, when there were enough manpower, the two blast furnaces could produce about 5,000 catties of iron every day, but in the past two years, the government came to the mine to recruit soldiers, and it took hundreds of absentees to work, and now the iron output of the two furnaces is only less than 3,000 catties.

Although Meng Guiming said that there were no clansmen in the mine, Qin Chuan suspected that there were people from the Meng family in that place, at least there was a steward and some guards there, otherwise who would take care of the mine with hundreds of people.

Qin Chuan asked Luo Da Niu to go out, took Song Zhiting and ten of his men to the mine, and told the people there that although the Meng family was terrible, Master Meng was still there, and there were still dozens of nurses, and there would never be less money and food, and there would never be a delay.

First stabilize the hearts of those absenteeism, lest absenteeism rebel or disperse, take advantage of the situation to recruit some people to come back as nursing homes, and then call the stewards and nursing homes there, and keep those who can be used, and click away those who can't be used.

Qin Chuan values that iron mine very much, as long as he finds some blacksmiths, he can build what he wants, and it is best to get a few foreigners to make guns and cannons.

When his subordinates began to get busy, Qin Chuan took two of his subordinates to wander around the village to see if there were any people who had escaped death, or the belongings that Bashan Tiger had missed.

This has become his territory, and he needs to sort it out first.

There were many survivors, all of them were wounded nurses and thieves, and terrible wails could be heard everywhere in the village.

For those who were seriously injured, or had a larger wound and a higher risk of infection, Qin Chuan helped them end their suffering, and when he stabbed a knife into someone else's heart, his heart was also very blocked.

But he still did not hesitate, he is not an otaku in the 21st century, but a bandit leader in troubled times.

To be a bandit, you have to be ruthless enough.

For those with minor injuries, Qin Chuan asked them to walk to the bottom of the gatehouse by themselves, where there was freshly cooked yellow rice porridge and heart-warming hot water, and only those who could go there had a chance to live.

For the surviving members of the Meng family, no matter how serious the injuries were, Qin Chuan helped them get free.

But there were a few exceptions, it was a few women, among them were the maids of the Meng family, and there were also members of the Meng family, all of whom were tortured by the thieves to faint to death, and the thieves thought they were dead, so they threw them in place and didn't wake up until they just woke up.

For the crying women, Qin Chuan couldn't do anything, so he had to let them stay in a room closer to the gatehouse, and they were not allowed to take a step, and they were not allowed to take a step out of the door, and they were not allowed to take a step in the door of those hungry old bandits in Jiuji Mountain.

The Meng family's money and grain were basically robbed, and it is estimated that there is still some gold and silver buried under the ground of some houses, but Qin Chuan has no time or hands to dig it.

The big things and some antique ornaments are still there, but the thieves have no interest in those things, only smashing some bottles and cans, tables, chairs and beds are basically there, but the bedding, clothes, and cloth are almost gone, and there are few pots and pans left.

When Qin Chuan walked in, he saw the corpses of some women hanging on the beams of several houses, and it was estimated that they were women who did not want to become the playthings of thieves and hanged themselves when the village was broken.

Qin Chuan asked people to bring Meng Guiming over, and he found the main house of the head of the family and entered Meng Guiming's bedroom.

I have to say that the landlord is Hao, although the bedroom has been turned into a mess, even the floor has been planed a lot, but you can still see the original luxury, all the furniture is made of precious mahogany, carved and carved, inlaid with gold and silver, casually carry a piece to the modern can be developed of the type.

Meng Guiming came, crying and mourning, to clean up his messy house.

Qin Chuan said lightly: "Master Meng, don't clean it up yet, take out the title deed of the Meng family." ”

Meng Guiming's body stiffened slightly, pulled his head and pointed to a corner of the house, and said: "The big boss, the title deed was originally hidden there, and it may have been taken away by the thieves." ”

Qin Chuan didn't speak, walked to the corner of the house and looked at it, and turned over the pile of new mud with a knife.

It didn't take long for Qin Chuan to stand up and sneer at Meng Guiming: "Master Meng, are you a pig for me?" ”

"The big boss, the little old man ......"

Meng Guiming was about to argue, but after seeing Qin Chuan's cold gaze, he couldn't speak anymore.

"Master Meng, in the Black Mountain Mine, people loyal to your Meng family are afraid that they can count even a slap, if you still expect them to save you, then you are too stupid."

"I've helped you avenge the destruction of the door, but now you want to go back on your word, then don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan glanced at his subordinates: "Go and cut off the guy who passed on his ancestry." ”

"Okay."

The old bandit of Jiuji Mountain walked towards the knife and walked towards Meng Guiming with a cruel smile.

Meng Guiming broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "The big boss's life, I'll take it, I'll take it......"

"Then stop talking nonsense, hurry."

"Yes."
