Chapter 11: The Great Change
Zhang Yang walked up to the only bandit who was still alive, his leg had been broken, and he looked at Zhang Yang who was getting closer and closer while wailing and looking in horror.
Under Zhang Yang's intimidation, the bandits quickly told Zhang Yang everything they knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and things were indeed similar to Zhang Yang's expectations, and the three brothers of the Shen family met them in a restaurant not far away.
Zhang Yang didn't say a word, he simply gave him a shot and sent him to see the king of Hades, and then rushed to the restaurant with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
Maybe the three brothers of the Shen family didn't think that they would fail at all, and when they heard the gunshots, they still felt strange, how could the moon and stars thunder? But by the time they heard the more intense gunfire and sensed something was wrong, it was too late to leave.
Zhang Long's sturdy figure blocked the door, and the three brothers of the Shen family suddenly panicked, and Shen Youcai roared inwardly: "Who are you?" Get out of the way! ”
Zhang Long took a position from the side, and the three brothers of the Shen family were overjoyed, and before they could put down their cruel words, a familiar face walked in.
"Publicity!" The three of them said in unison in surprise.
"Eh, I didn't think all three of them would recognize me!" Zhang Yang said with a mocking smile.
"What happened to your people?" The eldest man looked unwilling, in fact, he could guess the answer in his heart, Zhang Yang appeared here, and his subordinates must be more than lucky.
"Hehe, what else, kill it." Zhang Yang said indifferently.
"How dare you! They're all from the government! ”
The three brothers of the Shen family were frightened, this was different from what they imagined! Shouldn't all talents be powerless? Why is this person in front of him more like a bandit than like a showman?
"What are you talking so much nonsense, go die!" Zhang Yang sneered, and didn't give them a chance to forgive, and raised his hand to shoot three times.
"Zhao Hu, you go to solve the magistrate, and then become the magistrate to appease the people." Zhang Yang knew that this magistrate was definitely not clean, so he didn't have any burden in his heart.
"Yes, sir." After speaking, Zhao Hu's figure disappeared into the night.
Half an hour later, the magistrate led a group of officials to pacify the frightened people, and at the same time collected the corpses. The next day, Shopkeeper Li was released, and Shopkeeper Li, who was breathing fresh air, felt like a world away.
On the way to the county government office, the shopkeeper Li heard that the people along the way were discussing the news that the three brothers of the Shen family rebelled last night and were suppressed by the county! It feels ridiculous and happy at the same time.
"Master Zhixian, the person has been brought."
"Got it, let's go down."
Shopkeeper Li looked at Zhang Yang, who was sitting on the chair of the county magistrate with Erlang's legs crossed, and was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall!
Shopkeeper Li roared in his heart: Are you just sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and letting the magistrate stand on the side? What a big background this special mother has! With such a big background, why didn't you say it earlier, Lao Tzu has to suffer less!
"Brother Li is here, hehe, you have suffered these days! I have already taken care of the affairs of the Shen family, and there will be no more trouble in the future, if you have any needs in the future, just go directly to the magistrate, and he will help you do it. Zhang Yang patted the magistrate next to him and said with a smile.
That being said, how dare Shopkeeper Li! After a few polite words with Zhang Yang, he got into the carriage back to Haizhou under the service of the long entourage.
After the shopkeeper Li left, Zhang Yang sent someone to confiscate the Shen family's land and property, obediently, I don't know if I don't check it, I was shocked when I checked it, the Shen family has more than 80,000 acres of land! There are more than 7,000 tenant farmers!
Zhang Yang is not polite, these lands are all received in his own name. However, he is not the kind of local tyrant and inferior gentry of the three brothers of the Shen family, and directly announced that in addition to the fixed imperial grain, the tenant rent this time will be directly reduced to 30%! And it won't change in the future.
Such good news suddenly made the people who lived by renting land and farming excited, and they were naturally grateful to Zhang Yang, and relying on this trick, he successfully won the hearts of the locals.
As for the Shen family's family, he is young and beautiful, and he doesn't mind being 'comforted' in the room...
And this trip to Shuyang has also completely disrupted Zhang Yang's layout, and with his current control of Shuyang, it is naturally impossible to give it up. Then many of his plans have to be reversed!
First of all, the factory he built in Haizhou is going to be relocated here, as for the factory or something, the Shen family's compound is so big, what a pity it is to be empty! Moreover, instead of wasting food in prison, the Shen family should throw it into the factory to create surplus value.
Now he is a proper black-hearted capitalist.
The Shen family compound is now renamed Zhangfu, and Zhang Yang, who moved into Zhangfu, finally lived a decadent life of arrogance and lasciviousness as he wished.
Of course, Zhang Yang will never admit that he is 'weak', he is here to formulate future development plans and integrate the economic strength of the county.
First of all, the shopkeeper Li was appointed by him as the acting chief bookkeeper, mainly responsible for the construction of the factory, the recruitment and training of personnel. Although he does not have an official appointment document from the imperial court, the order of the magistrate is still very useful in the county. With this identity, Shopkeeper Li does not have so many constraints to act in Shuyang County.
Shopkeeper Li, who got this appointment, hugged Zhang Yang and cried, he never thought that he could get an official and a half position as a mere businessman! Although it was not an official appointment from the imperial court, it was enough to make him grateful to Zhang Yang.
With the full help of the county, the construction of the textile factory is naturally a rapid progress.
The second is to appoint Zhang Long as the head of the team, supplemented by the 15 and a half sons he recruited in Haizhou to form a new team of officials. At the same time, there was a big expansion of recruitment, and in his plan, these people would assume the role of the 'public security bureau' in the future.
The original government officials were too few, and a county was more than 100 square kilometers, so what use could it be to rely on dozens of government officials? So in the flamboyant plan, it takes at least a thousand people to maintain basic control.
Although their age is generally only fifteen or sixteen years old, they are young and vigorous and simple-minded, and they are simple to use, and they are from poor families who cherish their current life very much, and they will neither misinterpret Zhang Yang's orders, nor will they work without contribution, and they will not be as slippery as the little officials who have been mixed for half their lives.
With someone in his hand, Zhang Yang's courage has also grown, and he can finally start to deal with unjust, false and wrongful cases in the county!
This is not to show that he has the heart of the Virgin, but that he can use this to eradicate some local tyrants and inferior gentry, expand the resources in his hands, and make full preparations for the arrival of Song Jiang next year.
