Yu Zhilong saw that Xie Lin didn't dare to stand up for a while, and said gently: "Xie County Yin, please get up, since I don't offend you, I can relax." A man named Guo Fengrong in the county jail has made meritorious contributions, since there is a vacancy in the county's canonical history, you might as well let him temporarily collect it. Schelling hurriedly agreed.

"What other prisoners are in the county jail, and what crimes have they committed?"

"There are about 200 prisoners of all kinds in the county jail, except for some who have been falsely accused of being imprisoned, mainly those who have been accused and imprisoned by creditors for theft, wounding, adultery, and inability to repay debts on time."

"Mengyuan's debt interest is as high as a mountain cliff, and ordinary people mostly borrow money to survive, and their families have no way to make money, and borrowing money is just a helpless move. This high interest rate is extremely unreasonable, and all those who owe money are released and returned to their families, and the rest of the offenders are thrown into prison. Also, go to the prison and declare that if there is a grievance or a confession that has been tortured, you can appeal to me, and the prison cannot stop you. Sun Xing, go and inform Guo Fengrong that he must be personally responsible for verifying all the above, and I will allow him to decide whether the guards in the original prison will be retained or dismissed. ”

The two received the order, Sun Xing beckoned, and a pro-soldier came over behind him, Sun Xing gave an order in his ear, and the pro-soldier went according to the order.

"The interest on lambs is too demanding, it is not a good law, I intend to temporarily set the interest at two cents, if the interest of the existing creditors and debtors has been repaid to eight cents, then the original contract will be terminated, okay?" Yu Zhilong asked Xie Lin.

"It is a blessing to all the people if you are united in your heart. Well, it's just that there are still a lot of poor people inside and outside the city, the family is poor and has no money to make a living, purely relying on part-time work, adults cancel lamb interest, and small creditors are naturally happy, but the moneylenders are bound to be dissatisfied, and even do it right for themselves, which is not conducive to the foundation of adults. In the past, his subordinates suggested befriending the gentry, and most of them were large moneylenders, and his subordinates were afraid that they would be resentful. ”

"It doesn't matter, those who are sober should know what I mean. The stubborn person just confiscated his family assets, and if he does the right thing, he will complain that I will use the knife! Yu Zhilong said in detail, "The big waves sweep the sand, you can get real gold, a little bad gentry and villains can't turn over much of the storm, if you don't get rid of these bad gentry, how can I have the resources to care for the people?" ”

"What's more, it is difficult to guarantee that a large number of poor people will not come with their families to join in the future, and these acres of land are just used for relief."

"In addition, although the name of this field book is complete, I wonder if there are a large number of hidden places that are not included in the field book?" Yu Zhilong remembered to ask.

After hearing this, Xie Lin was stunned, and said slowly, "Don't dare to hide it from your lord, in this world, these counties and counties have hidden private fields and acres of fertile land for a long time. The subordinates sued the crime, and there were hundreds of acres of fertile land under their names that were not recorded. According to the estimates of the subordinates, the unrecorded fertile land outside Linqu City should be more than 5,000 acres. ”

"Oh, there are so many?" In fact, this was the case for most of the powerful and wealthy families in the previous dynasties, and it was even worse at the end of the previous dynasties, which directly led to the fact that almost all the money and grain extortions of the imperial court fell on the landless and landless Qiantou, and the social contradictions naturally became more intense.

"The subordinates are guilty, so these acres will be re-measured and the fields will be calculated!" Schelling stood up in fear and pleaded guilty. "Since you have truly attached yourself to me, you should not be blamed for the past, but this matter of truthfully measuring and allocating acres of land to artisan households, military households, and displaced people is of great importance, and it must not be taken lightly! At that time, I will ask the master of Fang Xue to send additional personnel to act with you. Yu Zhilong pondered for a while.

"Master Xie, there is a labor master's book!" Xie Lin hurriedly thanked Yu Zhilong, and after getting up, he thanked Fang Xue, who quickly got up and pulled back, saying that there was no need to be polite.

"Speaking of which, there are still some beggars wandering around in the city, and I will ask Liu Da's family to set up a soup kitchen." Yu Zhilong paced indoors, remembered something and then said to everyone. In fact, the social turmoil, the people's livelihood withered, and the displaced people were everywhere, and there were already a lot of people in the city.

Seeing that Yu Zhilong had already made up his mind, Xie Lin no longer insisted on continuing to favor the local gentry. What Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong did was incompatible with the Yuan court, as the people under their rule, Xie Lin and the others had to make a choice, and there was no possibility of both ends of the first rat. If there are really local big families or gentry who don't open their eyes, they have to disobey the control of Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Zhilong, etc., or ask for more blessings.

What's more, Liu Zhengfeng has ordered the local big families to start recovering their wealth one by one as the price for their attachment to the Yuan court in the past.

Although Yu Zhilong's approach is simple and rude, it does great harm to the property interests of these big households, but after all, it leaves a way out for these people, and it is relatively rare in this world of swords and swords, wind and rain.

Zhao Shi, Wu Side and others listened to Yu Zhilong's sub-speech, and they all had nothing to say.

Xie Lin finally put down his thoughts, stood up again, and said, "The villain has already told Deputy Zhao Qianhu about the main geographical customs of this county and the location of local bandits and rogues. In addition, today I see that the sergeant of the army is in rags, the shoes and socks are incomplete, the villain has been an official here for many years, and the family still has savings, today I am willing to give 30,000 taels of silver, 700 acres of thin fields to fund the military, and please smile and accept. ”

Xie Lin saw that Yu Zhilong was so concerned about governing the government and the people, and arranged everything in an orderly manner, not at all like the kind of rhetorical talker, nor was he a simple and rude masked magnate, while he was happy, he also secretly reminded himself that he must complete all the matters arranged by Yu Zhilong.

Since he had made up his mind to follow Yu Zhilong, he asked for more investment to be greater, at this time, Yu Zhilong's expression was a little softened, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. He has been an official for many years, and he used to receive a lot of filial piety from his subordinates and local wealthy households, looking at Yu Zhilong's style of acting, the recourse to the local big households will soon move, and he saw that his army sergeant was in rags, presumably with limited resources, if he took a step in advance, he would be able to add a lot of weight to Zhilong's heart.

30,000 taels of silver and 700 acres of fertile land are also a big number for Xie Lin, and it is indeed painful to give it all at once, but as an early investment, the trust gained is also inevitable.

Sure enough, after Yu Zhilong was stunned for a moment, his face was overjoyed, and he said: "Lord Yin of the county has a heart, donate money to the capital, I know it now!" ”

"Well, if it weren't for the defeat of Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang a few days ago, it would be an army called Huazi, which can be said to be without food and clothing. You can give so much silver taels and fields, I am very comforted, I will take this silver taels, but you can keep the acres of land for yourself. You will do your best for Ben, and I will make a note that there should be a place for Xie Jun at his daily celebration banquet! It's just that Liu Da's family ordered the local wealthy to donate, and when you provide the list, you must not hurt the local gentry or the family of poetry. The amount of floating wealth that each other family should pay depends on the amount of their family assets and the good or evil style of the family, and it is important not to distinguish between good and good. ”

"The subordinates have drawn up a list, and the assets that each family should pay have also been determined in advance. Xie Lin took out a list from his pocket and presented it to Yu Zhilong.

Seeing Yu Zhilong's heart, Xie Lin knew that his actions had achieved results, and then listened to Yu Zhilong's words, he was secretly frightened under his joy, this son is not carried away because of the financial interests in front of him, but also can grasp the overall situation, weigh the interests and mentality of all parties, it is really rare to have such a careful mind at such a young age!

Yu Zhilong took it and skimmed it, he was not familiar with the local people's livelihood after all, since Xie Lin had already drafted it, he would put it away first.

Seeing that it was not early, he said: "If the county Yin has nothing else to do, I should also go to see Leader Liu and discuss all matters again." Brother Shi, you wait for this to go out of the city to inspect the drills of various departments. ”

"My subordinates are retiring, my lord, please go." Schelling retired. Zhao Shi and the others went out of the government and drove directly to the military camp outside the city.

After Zhao Shi and Xie Lin went out, Yu Zhilong ordered Sun Xing to summon Guo Fengrong to come, informing him that his meritorious service was not small, and he had been promoted to the county warden, this Guo Fengrong was thankful, he was just the lowest level in the county prison, and he was driven by others. Later, Yu Zhilong escaped from Xie Lin's county list, put it on the case, and asked him about the details and local comments one by one, Guo Fengrong sat down and recalled the answers one by one.

He is a local person, and he is familiar with the characters of various families, and compared the two, Yu Zhilong found that the list listed by Xie Lin was not different, so he was relieved.

After he talked to Guo Fengrong a few more words and encouraged him to work loyally, he sent him out.

Yu Zhilong took Sun Xing and others directly to Liu Zhengfeng's residence, that is, the mansion of the beggar. When he arrived at the door and asked, the pro-soldier replied that Liu Zhengfeng had drunk a lot of things in the cup yesterday, and he was still drunk and had not woken up, and the pro-soldier respectfully asked Yu Zhilong if he had any urgent business, Yu Zhilong waved his hand, took out Xie Lin and planned to go directly out of the city to his military camp.

The various units in the battalion were already in full swing and practiced separately, and Zhao Shi and Mingxiong went around to inspect the training situation and give guidance and correction from time to time.

Ming Xiong is a good general, he is the first time to train these thousands of soldiers for the Lord, and he is excited and nervous in his heart, so no matter how big or small, he must finish everything. Except for the veterans of the scout team, the captives of the Han army and the volunteers, most of these soldiers were ordinary Qiantou leaders, who had hardly received systematic training, and they did not know the banner and golden drum.

According to the usual practice, these soldiers also need to practice for at least two or three months anyway, but Yu Zhilongdao gave Mingxiong eight days at most, and it is estimated that after eight days, the officials and soldiers of Yidu City will attack in a big way. So time is precious, so keep it simple. The complicated battle array evolution and the gradual improvement of the bow horse skills can only be abandoned.

Mingxiong also knew that Yidu Lu would never let them go. He still knows a little about the military deployment of Yidu Road, and in order to pacify Zhang Shicheng's rebellion, the prime minister of Totoku has transferred troops from his belly and Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces, and even Goryeo has been conscripted tens of thousands of troops. Most of the main Mongol army, Tanma Red Army, and Han Army in Yidu Road were transferred to the south, and the Yuan army near Yidu City could not be used for foreign expeditions, estimated to be only 5,000 people, and could not form an absolute advantage in military strength for the time being, so if the Yuan army wanted to go south to Linqu, it must need to transfer some parts from nearby, and Mingxiong estimated that the preparation time was six or seven days.

Time is precious, Mingxiong can only based on his own experience and the Yuan army military law and other simple books on a few, one is the simplest formation, the rehearsal of the formation, but the soldiers are familiar with the basic movements of bow and horse combat skills, among which the flag identification, the golden drum, and obey the order and only choose some of the most basic subjects.

In order to effectively promote, Zhao Shi ordered Mingxiong to select dozens of soldiers from his headquarters to directly serve as instructors in various departments and supervise the training of various departments.

As for Mingxiong himself, he has been pestered by Wu Side and Huang Er, as long as he has the opportunity, he will leave Mingxiong Qiang in his own part to teach, which has caused Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi and others to complain.

In the sound of drills from various departments, Yu Zhilong and others entered the barracks.
