Chapter 589 Fan Gongdi

The words are divided into two ends, Meng Tietou is temporarily in labor reform, and Zhang Chenfeng still has a lot of things to do.

Fortunately, with the help of Gu Yanwu, and Meng Tietou's confession was obtained in time, the search operation began that night.

In this operation, nearly 20,000 stone of rice was obtained in one fell swoop, which greatly alleviated the grain shortage in Yangzhou, and Zhang Chenfeng, the anxious temporary "director of the Military Management Commission," could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he was a little unsure of how to deal with these salt barons who violated the law and harbored Tartar grain—whether to just collect the grain and let them go first, or take the opportunity to catch them all?

He felt that this matter was extraordinary, and it was better to ask the captain for his opinion and listen to what he had to say.

In addition, his second battalion and other main forces are also about to arrive, and now that he is strong and strong, in addition to sending troops to attack Yizhen, he must also ask for instructions on how to move next.

So, early the next morning, he called Lin Xiao's radio.

"I think it's better to raid the house directly,"

After listening to Zhang Chenfeng's report, Lin Xiao made up his mind without much hesitation, "The Lianghuai salt industry will inevitably enter a new era, and there is no need for the general merchants and field merchants to exist. ”

Lin Xiao did not have the slightest mercy for these profiteers who were unrighteous and mercenary.

These privileged classes, who made their fortunes by exploiting the salt people, were originally deformed by the collusion of officials and businessmen in a special era, and since they were determined to transform this industry and even this society, it was only a matter of time before these vampires were eliminated.

"Well, everyone is detained, and it can be done right away."

Now that the captain has spoken, Zhang Chenfeng has made up his mind.

He estimated that the captain might not be able to say it directly-by defeating these big families, and he could also seize a large amount of floating wealth.

Since the village has only been temporarily blocked, this floating wealth has not really arrived, so he can't report an accurate figure, but it is roughly estimated that after a retrial and a search, at least one million taels or more will be gained.

This can somewhat alleviate some pressure on the captive army.

Speaking of pressure, Zhang Chenfeng knows very well that with the rapid expansion of the team and territory, the pressure faced by the forest team is no longer as good as when it was in Annan, in addition to the fact that there is never enough food, the financial aspect is also becoming more and more tight.

Take the present, there is a shortage of salt everywhere in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are here to get salt, but this requires a lot of silver, and they can't rob it from the salt people for nothing.

Since everyone travels through the world together, we can't rely on the captain alone in everything, but only "brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold", and they can work hard.

He knew that Liu Xulei, Xia Bomin, Zhu Yujia and other brothers had captured many of them in previous battles, and had solved some urgent needs to some extent......

"As for the next military deployment, my opinion is to rest for a few days and wait and see for a while,"

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, he continued in the microphone, "The soldiers are very tired from the long-distance run, so we need to give them time to wash and dry and accumulate some physical strength......

"At present, Liuhe is in the hands of King Lu,"

Lin Xiao then explained, "After we took down Yizhen, we were already very close, and we could respond at any time if there was something, and if they didn't come to contact, we shouldn't take the initiative to come to the door, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Okay, I see."

"How is the security in Yangzhou? Is the problem serious? ”

"It's okay that the bandits are in trouble, the lake bandits don't dare to enter the city,"

Zhang Chenfeng replied truthfully, "There are still some scattered Tartar routs, and there are many ...... of robbing homes and houses."

"It is the most important thing at present to step up the crackdown and quickly stabilize the public order situation."

"Hmm,"

Zhang Chenfeng hesitated for a moment and added, "In addition, many large households have formed villages to protect themselves, and they all have private soldiers......

"Well, take your time, after all, freezing three feet is not a day's cold......"

Lin Xiao sighed lightly, "Only when Li Tao's working group is trained and the masses are widely mobilized to carry out land reform can these matters be completely resolved." ”

"Okay, got it,"

Zhang Chenfeng's words changed, "But captain, where are you now...... How long will it take to come to Yangzhou? ”

"What, you're not comfortable without me?"

"It's not,"

Zhang Chenfeng smiled awkwardly, "This...... You're not here, I'm the director of the Military Management Commission...... I'm still afraid that I won't be able to do well. ”

"I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, you kid is a little promising, okay?"

Lin Xiao scolded lightly, "Look at how many of them are brothers, which one is not alone...... If you don't exercise again, what will you do in the future? ”

"Forehead ......"

"I've just arrived at the White Horse Farm in Xinghua...... I've also encountered some difficulties, and I can't get out of my body for the time being, so you can stand up to it first,"

After a pause, Lin Xiao said, "But along the way, I have already bought a lot of salt, you can start organizing a fleet, and the Jiangnan side is ready to see through." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away,"

Zhang Chenfeng responded, "We have already studied it, and from Taizhou, there is a salt river that can go directly to the salt field." ”

"yes, okay."

"By the way, Captain,"

Zhang Chenfeng seemed to suddenly remember, and shouted, "That Gu Yanwu, I found it!" ”

"Oh?"

Lin Xiao was stunned, "Really? ”

"Really, do you want to ask him to come to you?"

"No, no need......"

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao said, "Let him stay in Yangzhou and wait for me, you must protect him." ”

"Uh...... Be! ”

Lin Xiao's attitude was beyond Zhang Chenfeng's expectations, and he was a little puzzled.

Hearing such great news, why didn't the captain seem to be too excited?

Isn't this news fragrant? Haven't you been looking for this great Confucian all along?

"Could it be...... What happened? ”

In his heart, there was a faint worry.

……

What he didn't expect was that although nothing happened to his forest team, the difficulties they faced were no less than his, and there were a lot of bad things......

After sending off the fleet from Clam Harbor, Lin Xiao also set off immediately, leading people all the way south along the coastline and heading straight for Taizhou.

Half of the 8,000 migrant workers were divided, and the entire Huai'an Mansion was handed over to Shi Lang and Zhang Chenfeng's battalion.

The equipment of their half of the migrant workers is much better than the half that goes out, because in their task, they have to transport back some salt in advance to solve the urgent needs of Jiangnan.

Therefore, the ranks of thousands of people were not only equipped with many porters, but also many carts and even dozens of ox carts.

The road is very easy to walk, and the large and small vehicles are bouncing on the dirt road, and the speed is not slow at all.

Because, they walked on a famous embankment - Fan Gong Embankment.

When it comes to this Fan Gong embankment, it naturally benefits from the sage Fan Zhongyan......
