This year, although the bank has promoted a lot of work, but many places have ended miserably, and Yang Chong is most concerned about the bank's one-dollar loan plan and the pilot of mutual aid cooperatives. The bank's one-dollar loan program is a pilot project of the bank through several major money banks in various places, and the one-dollar loan is inconspicuous in the eyes of the powerful, but for the rural areas rebuilt after the war, it can improve the living conditions of many families, especially for military families who are short of labor. After all, in various places, the annual interest rate of private loans is as high as 60%, so the household department and Sinong Temple are very supportive of this project.

According to the price of goods and the different conditions in various localities, Li Chunfeng determined that pigs, bean sprouts and tofu, fried tea, medicine picking, eggs, etc., were purchased by mutual aid cooperatives on schedule and repaid to the bank. For this reason, Li Chunfeng also specifically required that all loan members must have no private loans; In Guanzhong and Henan, the pilot project implements the Baojia system, which links mutual aid cooperatives with Baojia, and there are animal husbandry projects in which the government provides cattle and sheep.

After Yang Chong received the report of Tianqi, he immediately took Guo Zigao, Li Chunfeng, Tianqi, Zhang Guolao and others and two thousand iron cavalry to Xiong'er County, only saying that they were here to hang Li Mi and Wang Bodang, but in fact, because the phenomenon of bullying the weak in Xiong'er County was too serious, and Yang Chong wanted to see what was going on.

Xiong'er County is named after Xiong'er Mountain, which is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, located in the southeast of Kunshan Mountain, distributed between the Luohe River and the Yihe River, the southwest of the mountain range is connected with Funiu Mountain, and the northeast extends to Longmen West Mountain; The most famous in the middle is the firewood pass, it is only ten miles away from the hot springs, the wall is steep and the valley is deep, the scenery is beautiful, the monks and believers have built temples and dug caves since the Northern Wei Dynasty, and have formed a weather. The mutual aid cooperatives set up by banks and the government in Bear's Ear Mountain are medicinal herbs, which do not require capital, and only need to spend time picking in the mountains.

But that's the case, the local government actually sold the area around Chaimen Pass to the temple and the Sheng family, cutting off the way of life of the mutual aid cooperative, and the Sheng family even set up barricades in Chaimen Pass, not allowing medicine pickers to pass by, and those who dared to steal in were either killed or injured, so that half of the Bears Ears Mountain became the Sheng family. When Yang Chong was worshipping Li Mi, Tianqi had already taken people to pretend to be medicine pickers, caught ten domestic slaves of the Sheng family at the scene of Chaimen Pass, and escorted them down from the mountain.

Yu Yu asked the county commander Hou Tong lightly: "The government sold the mountain road to the Sheng family?" ”

Hou Tong was taken aback, the mountain road is owned by the state, how can he have this power as a county commander, and hurriedly replied: "My lord is aware of the wasteland and mountains and forests sold to the Sheng family, and the lower officials also hope to increase the harvest of the people." ”

Yu Yu nodded and said, "So these people are robbing?" No, they don't want money, they just don't allow people to enter, that is, they occupy the mountain as the king and are ready to rebel. Lord Hou, this is your jurisdiction, what do you think? ”

Hou Tong understands that the Sheng family is over, no matter which crime it is, Yu Yu is not ready to give the Sheng family a way to live, and if he says a little wrong, he will fall to the ground if he doesn't get it right. Hou Tong gritted his teeth and wrote the conclusion of the case on the confession handed over by Tianqi: "Rebellion." ”； A firework was lifted into the sky, and Hou Tong saw the flames rising in the direction of the Sheng family manor.

Yang Chong didn't seem to know anything, and after worshipping Li Mi according to the ritual, he asked the nearby residents to take care of it, and then took the lead into the county seat of Bear's Ears, Hou Tong followed, and as soon as he entered the county, he got a report from the officials, and all the properties of the Sheng family in the city were confiscated. Yang Chong sat in the county government and drank tea slowly, and Hou Tong's cold sweat rolled in a hurry; Yang Chong finished drinking a cup of tea before asking: "Bears Ears Mountain is open to wasteland, why did you issue the title deed first?" ”

This is the rule of the Great Sui, after planting crops, the land deed can only be issued after a certain number of years, Hou Tong trembled so much that he replied after a long time: "It is Lord Zheng Yuanshou who wrote to entrust him." ”

Yang Chong frowned and said: "Lord Zheng is the same as me, he can't control you, your boss is Henan County, and then Shangshu Province, you will do it when he writes a letter?" ”

Hou Tong stopped talking, just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Yang Chong motioned to the guards to help Hou Tong up and said, "Give me Zheng Yuanshou's letter." ”

Hou Tong hurriedly ran to the back, found out the letter and handed it to Yang Chong, Zheng Yuanshou's meaning was very simple, after the death of the Tang general Sheng Yanshi, his younger brother Sheng Yanxiong returned to the mountains and forests, fell in love with the land of Chaimen Pass, and wanted to ask Hou Tong for help. Yang Chong nodded slowly and said: "You have no other bad deeds, be your county official well, and take back the mountain land sold during this time, which is the mountain where the people live, and Xiong Er doesn't care about more of this field, even if it is a temple, it needs to be approved by the Caotang Temple." ”

Yang Chong wiped out the Sheng family, turned around and went to Luhun County, the people of Luhun County are strong, the cattle and sheep of the members of the mutual aid society are often deliberately killed, and three people died when the mutual aid society checked the evidence, and the government did not handle it, only pushed it on Li Tang's remnants and bandits, in fact, it was to shield the local bullies, and the people could only admit that they were unlucky, resulting in a large area of dead debts for loans. However, as these powerful people of Lingbao Qianzhuang, they were not in a hurry, but Zhang Jin inadvertently mentioned to Yang Chong twice that Luhun County was the place where the Barberry Sect was established.

If it is Shaolin Temple, Yang Chong still has some scruples, as for the barberry faction, Yang Chong can only smile, Yang Chong cares about the relationship between the barberry faction and Lingbao Qianzhuang. The twelve shareholders are Zhang Jin, Yang Gongqing, Xu Shiji, Cui Shu, Yang Xuanxian, Wang Yaohan, Zheng Yuancong, Liu Deyu, Cheng Yanjin, Shi Daqian, Dong Axing, He Bawei, which one is tossing behind his back, otherwise Zhang Jin will definitely say that he doesn't have to trouble himself, and he will hand it over to Wang Ji directly.

Li Chunfeng and Tianqi had testimony in their hands, the county commander Xue Erchun was taken down on the spot, and Mu Meixiao, the head of the Barberry faction, followed the Hundred Cavalry Battalion to see Yang Chong very well. Facing the bitter masters found by Li Chunfeng, Mu Meixiao said very generously: "As long as there is a sue against me, the evidence is conclusive, and the old man pleads guilty, as for the old man who hurts people in martial arts competitions, and his fists and feet are not long-eyed, there is no way to do it, who asked them to come to the door to challenge." ”

Yu Xuan couldn't stand it, and the people came to reason, that is called a challenge? But the local people still have to live, even if Mu Meixiao is put in prison, there are other people from the Barberry Sect, except for two who are not afraid of death, the others dare not speak when they go to the court; The testimony of the two men did not work, and the time passed and evidence still needed to be found. Yu Xuan spent half a day, and finally announced that Xue Erchun had neglected his duties, causing the death of the ploughing cow and being dismissed, and let Mu Meixiao go home to hear the trial.

Mu Meixiao walked out of the yamen triumphantly, and just walked out of the street accompanied by several elders, and was about to say a few words, when an apprentice ran in a panic and said: "Master, it's not good, seven Qiang people came, and seven uncles came forward to fight, and all of them were killed in the martial arts arena." ”
