Yu Zhilong drove his horse all the way to the county office, and the officers and rebels on the road did not dare to stop them when they saw that they were in a big position, and they scattered and fled after shouting. When they arrived at the county office, everyone immediately rushed to the county treasury behind them, and the county Yin and others saw the defeat of the official army, and listened to the shouts and killings everywhere in the city, knowing that it was impossible to do anything, and they all gathered in front of the gate of the county treasury.

Wu Side was anxious, and was the first to rush in, and was surprised to find that nearly 100 servants had reunited in front of the gate of the county treasury, facing him. Many of them were armed with weapons. Wu Side didn't have time to take a closer look, and was about to continue to rush forward, but unexpectedly, the previous person in the team suddenly came out and shouted: "Strong man and slow, I have something to say!" ”

Before he could speak, the man lifted up his shirt and knelt down. The servants in the back looked nervously at these fierce and vicious thieves, and involuntarily clenched the steel knives or iron rulers in their hands, and some people couldn't help but take a step back timidly when they saw Wu Side's thick beard and angry eyes.

"Hey, the four virtues are slow!" Yu Zhilong, who was following closely, saw the scene in front of him and immediately stopped the steel knife that Wu Side had just raised. The rear team poured in one after another, surrounding these errand officers layer by layer.

"Who are you? Why here? Zhao Shi asked loudly. At first, everyone thought that they were trapped and fighting, and they were going to lead their troops to kill them, but unexpectedly, the leader actually knelt down in public. By the light of the torches, Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi and others recognized that the official mansion that this person was wearing was clearly the system of the local county Yin, could it not be the county Yin of this city?

This person saw that Wu Side's big knife had been raised, and the war horse rushed to the front of him, if it wasn't for Yu Zhilong shouting quickly, he would have broken his head in two, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He trembled and took off the official hat on his head, and bowed again: "Xiaguan is the county Yin of Linqu County, and now all the officers of the county have been gathered here, and all the property of the county treasury is sealed, and the lower officials only hope that the heroes can be sympathetic to the hardships of all living beings, and do not destroy the property in the county treasury, and leave some surplus food for the people of the county, so as to survive this winter and the coming spring. ”

"Acting coyly, do you still want to sell your reputation in front of a certain family? Is it long! Zhao Shi was furious, he had seen an official gentry who was not afraid of death, but he had never seen anyone who dared to act like this in person. Although Zhao Shi is not good at words, but because of his voice, he especially hates these people in the government, and now he sees that this person clearly states that he is willing to die, as long as he is willing to give his subordinates and officials a way to live, is it not to deceive me and other unkind people? Zhao Shi traveled all the way, there were not a hundred officers and soldiers who died under his hands, but also sixty, and there was a faint anger on his body. The timid man was weak for a moment, and collapsed to the ground with a pop.

Zhao Shi was angry, and many soldiers behind him were about to rush up to make a move, Yu Zhilong stopped everyone, got on the horse and walked forward in front of this person, carefully looking at who dared to say this. I have seen a lot of officials in this life, mostly flattering the upper and fierce people, but I actually saw a person asking for the people's life tonight.

Riding on the horse, Yu Zhilong circled around this person a few times, although this person was a little timid, he could still see that his body was trembling slightly, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. At this time, it was the middle of the night in late autumn, and the night was as cold as water, and it was impossible to sweat due to body heat anyway, which was obviously caused by its nervousness.

For a while, hundreds of people gathered outside the county treasury, and everyone quietly waited for Yu Zhilong's order, only taking Yu Zhilong's killing word exit, and the nearly 100 soldiers and the county Yin were immediately executed. Wu Side and the others had a dark face, and the snow-bright steel knife was placed horizontally in the saddle, comforting the mounts under him from time to time. Zhao Shi observed the surrounding environment left and right, and commanded his subordinates to block the path that the opponent might escape.

As for the officers behind the county Yin, they were even more nervous, Yu Zhilong circled around a few times and did not speak, obviously thinking about how to act, they are now fish and meat on the board, life and death depend on the other party, although there are some weapons in their hands, how can they resist these tiger and wolf soldiers on the opposite side, they dare not breathe!

Yu Zhilong finally dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to a guard in the rear, drank the county Yin up, and then let people open the seal of a warehouse door at will, more than a dozen guards held torches high and went in to inspect, Yu Zhilong swept his eyes inside, and found that the cloth, silk and other property were placed in a regular manner, and there were no obvious signs of missing and damaged, the indoor ground and frame were clean, and each frame was numbered to check, and then turned a few sealed warehouses were like this, and couldn't help but stand silently.

Out of the treasury, Yu Zhilong in public to the county Yin Dao can accept his request, to ensure the lives of his subordinates, the servants put down their weapons, nervously made prisoners, they have lived here for many years, if they want to abandon the house and flee to other places, they can't give up. Now that he has won Yu Zhilong's promise, he is fortunate to have no way to die, and he has no time to consider what will happen to the captives in the future. In fact, in the face of so many thieves, these errand officers know in their hearts that resistance is also a dead end, and the county Yin acts like this, hoping to please the other party, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.

After this side was finished, Yu Zhilong took them to the county government hall, and the messengers stayed outside the hall as prisoners, but only summoned a few officials such as the county Yin and the chief bookkeeper into the hall. Mingxiong and Mingshijie were allowed to follow and accompany Yu Zhilong.

Standing in the lobby of the county office, Yu Zhilong glanced at the rows of yacha standing under the steps outside, Mingxiong had briefly said yesterday's experience just now, Yu Zhilong also knew that this county Yin had some kindness to Mingxiong, since Mingxiong interceded, Yu Zhilong had the idea of taking care of him, and then thinking about what he saw in the county treasury just now, Yu Zhilong was interested, and simply ordered the yacha to take the various account books in the county, and read them one by one, and found that whether it was the number of households, acres, population, grain depot, treasury, taxes, Labor and other things were clearly recorded one by one, and Yu Zhilong simply called the master and the master to the front of the hall, and asked them to find the clear subdivisions they wanted one by one according to the ownership of the account books.

Yu Zhilong randomly selected a few inspections, and a few errand servants accompanied the master and the master nervously turned out the money entries. Then he shook and put them on the table one by one, Yu Zhilong picked it up and scanned it, and found that the data was not bad after mental arithmetic, and if there was anything that needed special explanation, it was also noted in small block letters next to the page.

Yu Zhilong couldn't help but be interested, and picked out a few more items in taxes, grain depots, and labor services, and asked for more detailed account book details. He did not know how to calculate, so he had to ask for a brush to calculate in a column on rice paper, and after a long time, he finally finished estimating, and found that the amounts before and after were consistent, and the description of the matter was clearly organized, and it could be seen that a great deal of effort had been put into the preparation of these account books.

Yu Zhilong checked the accounts here alone, and the master bookkeeper, master, and servants in the hall were busy looking for the relevant account books in their hands, and muttered in their hearts, this young man was obviously the head of the thief, and the county Yin was surprised at the beginning, but the head of the thief was so young. Later, when I saw him in the lobby and asked about the county's harvests, apportionments, and accounts, everyone became more and more surprised. It is strange that this thief did not hurry to rob the county treasury and rich households after entering the city, but asked about trivial matters such as financial labor and population registration in the county that had nothing to do with it!

Later, when I saw him choose different account books, he took them and read them, calculated them, and did not borrow an abacus, but only calculated them in a column on paper, and they couldn't help but look down at each other in private, and everyone could see that this person was not only literate, but also knew how to calculate and calculate the number of books, and also knew the compilation of account books, the integration and classification of numbers. Even if there is something he doesn't understand, he can usually ask the key point,

Even if this person doesn't know the specific details, after three questions and two questions, he will basically find out. Some of these questions felt superficial in the ears of the master and the county Yin, but listening to his words, the county Yin and others preliminarily judged that this person should be the son of a wealthy family, and he didn't know why he would fall into the grass and wilderness, but it's a pity!

Originally, the county Yin and others had already reported their determination to die, and over the years, it was common for rogues and thieves to seize the opportunity to kill officials. In the past, they were oppressed by the government and large households, and once they had the opportunity to take revenge and vent their anger, they often did not let go, and even destroyed many people.

The master was careful, and secretly figured out, listening to this son's accent seems to be Yidu Passerby's clan, if he can secretly detect the elders in his family in the future and persuade him, he may be able to make this son turn around.

Yu Zhilong finally put down the account books, and sighed in his heart: These account books are basically clear and traceable, if you don't consult the treasury, but from the account books, the county's government governance is still in order, and the efforts of the county Yin, the chief bookkeeper, and the secretary are inseparable.

"Money 100 households!" Yu Zhilong raised his head and shouted.

"My lord, what do you command?" Qian Zheng had already rushed over and stood aside waiting.

"These items just checked, you immediately take a few people to the county treasury to check the physical objects, and come back to report! A few of you go too! He prefabricated the order, and then ordered the master and the master to go with a few other errands.

"No!" Qian Zheng excitedly took a few people and went to the corresponding warehouse with the guidance of the master bookkeeper.

After a while, the money was waiting to be turned. The physical objects of the report correspond to the number of the account books.

Looking at the captives under the hall, Yu Zhilong couldn't help but groan for a while, according to his original plan, these Yuan court officials were either killed or roded, and all their family assets were confiscated, or rushed to the military, or distributed wealth to the people. But after reviewing these account books, Yu Zhilong had other ideas.

In order to build a strong army, it is necessary to have sufficient places for logistical maintenance and supply, so the management of local government affairs is an extremely conspicuous problem. Now that he has the county seat, Yu Zhilong naturally doesn't want to abandon it, he originally planned to take this opportunity to develop eastward, and his main energy in the future is still in military affairs, and he must have no time to take care of trivial matters in these places.

Now Yu Zhilong has a lot of people who can fight, but he is literate and hyphenated, and there is no one who manages government affairs. If the specific management of the county is handed over to Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others, they are not reconciled and at ease. Since there are some people available here, wouldn't it be nice to use them! It's just that these officials came from the Yuan court, and it is not yet known whether these officials are willing to use them for their own use, and how much loyalty they have to themselves.
