Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Cool Officer, the King Leopard

(Three more collections, collections, collections, please support, thank you again...... )

Ye County Magistrate Wang Bao's performance this time can be described as amazing, just one day's effort, under the conclusive evidence, he sentenced the former county Cheng Li Qi, the county lieutenant Gao Liang and a group of 27 people who committed crimes to be executed.

There were more than 300 people in the two families, and 87 of them were sentenced to three years of hard labor, and the female dependents were punished as slaves and maids, and their property was confiscated.

As soon as Wang Leopard's verdict was written, the whole city shook, there were people celebrating happily, and there were also wealthy families who were sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, and their expressions were different, and the people who were brewing were brewing because of Han Lie's order to close the water, and the people who were brewing were diverted their attention because of this incident.

After getting Wang Leopard's trial document, Han Lie frowned slightly and said: "This Wang Leopard has the potential to be a cool official, although the sentence is a bit heavy, but since you want to do it, let's hate it." ”

"The lord is wise, as soon as this judgment book comes out, if the powerful landlords of this city provoke trouble again, these two people will be their example, and they will be powerful for the ages." Seeing that Han Lie agreed, Wang Ling took back the document and asked the sergeant to give it to Wang Bao.

After the trial, the notice was immediately posted, and then Xu Huang sent people to assist Wang Bao in confiscating the two families.

After a night of counting by the officers and soldiers of the whole army, this time the two families were confiscated to get a thousand gold, two boxes of jade jewelry, worth a thousand gold, another five baht tens of millions, 100,000 stones of grain, and 10,000 pieces of cloth.

Before raiding the house, Han Lie thought that it would be good to be able to copy 10 million copper coins, but he didn't expect that not only were there more copper coins than he expected, but also jewelry, jade and gold, with this money, next year's funds would not have to be worried, and the soldiers of the whole army could have a good year.

However, this also shows how powerful the landlords in these places are exploiting the local people, look at the people inside and outside the city, they don't have clothes to cover their bodies, they can't eat enough, but these landlords are strong, the copper money rope at home is broken, and the grain under the warehouse is even moldy, but they are still exploiting the people, no wonder so many people will participate in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The next day, Han Lie did not attend the meeting of the wealthy clans of the county government, because he handed over the matter to Wang Bao, and before the meeting began, Wang Bao was ruthless enough, and directly took these people to the city gate to watch the beheading, and the twenty-seven heads fell to the ground, making the legs of the remaining twelve powerful landlords trembling all the time.

The next meeting was naturally easy to start, Wang Bao only mentioned slightly, the official field needs to be measured, the army needs grain and grass, these patriarchs of the wealthy clan, they have donated most of the land, and expressed their willingness to come out of 3,000 to 10,000 stone of grain and grass to reward the army.

Looking at these guys who are usually arrogant, they will nod their heads in front of them like grandsons, Wang Bao felt relieved, and said with a full shelf: "Wait for your mind, this county should inform General Han, as for the result, you go back and wait for news; In addition, General Han said that the lot of water will be redistributed according to the location of each village, and in the future, the people who will sift the gold can only do it in their own river section, and if the cross-border will be punished as theft, this matter will be bothered to go back to the squires to inform it, and the county will not make it clear one by one. ”

"Obey the orders of the county lord." After knowing that Yecheng had changed, in the face of death and money, these powerful people decisively chose to sacrifice their wealth to save their lives.

In order to find the place of gold and gold mines in Yeshui, Zhao Yun led his subordinates to explore all the way along the upper reaches of Yeshui for half a month, and finally determined an underground dark river, which may be the place where the gold mine is stored.

Han Lie, who received Zhao Yun's report, went to the location of the gold mine with Zhao Yun again on the same day, Yunze Peak in the Donglai Mountains.

The Donglai Mountains are dangerous, spanning several counties in Donglai, and Yunze Peak is just one of the peaks, this mountain is about 200 meters high, the mountain is steep, composed of granite, the surface is covered with various trees, the stream in the valley is one of the sources of water, and outside this valley is a huge natural dammed lake.

In fact, Zhao Yun was not sure that there was a gold mine in the belly of this mountain, and he also suspected that the gold mine should be hidden in the belly of this mountain because he found some copper and gold particles in the floodmouth of this dammed lake.

"There should be no gold mine here, but it is very difficult to mine, this mountain is composed of granite, from the thickness of the landslide, I am afraid that it is not less than three zhang or even higher, if you want to break this layer of thick granite, it is not only time-consuming, but also labor-intensive, it seems that we can't mine it for the time being." After walking for a day in Yunfeng Mountain, Han Lie said with some disappointment.

In this era when there are no explosives, if you want to infer this mountain, it will take at least thousands of craftsmen and more than a year of hard work before it is possible to succeed in digging gold, such a project is obviously a little impossible for Han Lie at the moment.

First of all, he is short of manpower and financial resources, and secondly, if he makes such a big project, it will inevitably attract the attention of Kong Rong and the surrounding princes.

"Just give up?" Dian Wei looked down at Yunze Peak in front of him and said with some reluctance.

"It's a pity, but the lord is right, since we can't protect this area at the moment, it's better to leave it for later excavation." Zhao Yun has been looking for gold mines with enthusiasm for the past half a month, but now in the face of this reality, he is naturally quite helpless.

"Although it can't be mined, there is still a lot of copper and gold in this water, now we have grain and money in our hands, and after the distribution of the river section, we can use grain and copper money to exchange copper and gold with the people, so that we can reserve money, and secondly, we can also let the local people have no worries about food and clothing, isn't this the original intention of our here?" Han Lie is indeed a person who can afford to let go, and now that he has copied the Li family and the Gao family, he is not short of money for the time being, and there is no need to worry about the untouchable gold mine in front of him.

As time goes on, the annual New Year is also approaching.

Although Han Lie came to Yecheng for only a month, but the life of the people in Yecheng has undergone earth-shaking changes in this month, because Han Lie has developed a lot of gold screening, and according to the highest value of the market, copper coins and grain are exchanged for copper and gold in the hands of the people, the people have exchanged copper and gold for grain and copper money as a household, and every family has surplus grain, and everyone has spare money, which has naturally become a portrayal of Yecheng.

The people's stomachs are full, their pockets are bulging, and the originally depressed street market shops are naturally lively.

Seeing that there were only three or four days before the New Year, Han Lie decided to go to Huang County to see if Tai Shi Ci had returned home, if he didn't go home, he also happened to bring Tai Shi Ci's old mother to Ye County to celebrate the New Year together, and the old people in the province were lonely and lonely.

Originally, Han Lie didn't plan to take Cai Yan with him, but before leaving, he occasionally heard people talking about it, saying that he missed his parents at home and hoped to go home to visit his parents.

Han Lie, who heard these discussions, thought that Cai Yan had been running all the way since he had followed him, and he couldn't return home, and now that the New Year was approaching, he was afraid that she would miss it, so thinking about it, he immediately decided to take Cai Yan out for a walk, and heard that Huang County was prosperous, so he just took them out to play.

After having this decision, Han Lie immediately asked Li Yang to inform Zhao Yun to bring his wife with him, and he also asked Dian Wei to bring fifty cavalry guards, on the eve of departure, Han Lie asked people to pick dozens of copper coins to come to the camp, and gave three hundred copper coins to each of the soldiers of the whole army as an annual reward, and at the same time let Xu Huang and Xu Rong, who stayed behind, take turns to give the soldiers of the whole army a three-day holiday on New Year's Day.

After finishing the work at hand, Han Lie led Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others all the way to Tai Shici's house in Huangxian County.
