In the process of suppressing bandits, Liu Qing's divine power is still growing.

His current believers have a large number of thousands, and he provides him with a lot of divine power every day, and the longer he accumulates, the stronger the divine power becomes.

When he first started to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, he would feel very difficult to apply the séance to the bandits, and he would not be able to sustain it for too long.

But in the back, you can easily control a physically fit adult and do whatever you want, even if it lasts for an hour.

When this skill becomes stronger, it will be even more helpful in suppressing bandits.

Many times, before the officers and soldiers led by Xu Qingfeng came, the bandits had already been killed by him.

On the Eastern Front, the team led by Xu Qingfeng was still invincible, maintaining zero casualties, and advancing eastward step by step.

The solution of one den by one den, it is necessary to kill all the bandits who are active in the Little Golden State area.

If these bandits are not eliminated, the local people will not be able to produce in a down-to-earth manner, and they will have to be afraid of going out, and their economic level will not be raised.

If the economic level is not improved, there is no money for burning incense, which is really not conducive to Liu Qing's development.

In the process, several bandit gangs heard about the courage of this team and wanted to flee farther away, continuing eastward along the Zangjin Mountains, hoping to escape from the border of Daqian.

However, their actions were all under Liu Qing's observation.

Every night, when Xu Qingfeng's team was resting, Liu Qing would fly to those bandit dens to observe if they were still there.

If he finds that some have escaped to the east, he will personally take action and use various means to eliminate those bandits.

There were several bandit gangs that were wiped out by the regiment in his hands.

Although he unlocked the brainwashing technique that could turn those bandits into his own followers, he didn't do that.

One is that the conversion efficiency is too low, and the other is that he thinks that these bandits are not worthy of being his followers.

Anyway, you can gain merit by killing them, so it's better to kill them directly.

During this time, the elimination of bandits and the rescue of women and children earned Liu Qing a lot of merit.

His progress in the system task has reached more than 60 percent, and it seems that he is not far from completing the system task.

Advancing all the way to the east, in November, it finally pushed to the northeastern end of the border of the Little Golden State, and wiped out all the bandits in the area.

At this time, Xu Qingfeng escorted the materials seized from the last den and the women and children back to Gumu County.

On the way back, it took a few days, passing through several county seats, and was warmly received by local officials.

This time, the crackdown on bandits lasted three months, exterminated more than 1,800 bandits, rescued more than 3,000 women and children, and seized more than 100,000 yuan worth of gold, silver, silk, and other materials.

The harvest is full.

And Liu Qing also took advantage of this anti-bandit action to expand his incense, so that the number of incense stickers exceeded 100,000, and the number of believers also increased.

More importantly, the system tasks are pushed a lot forward.

The last system task took the original host a hundred years to complete.

The final reward is an incense godhead.

And what will be rewarded after the completion of this system task, Liu Qing is also quite looking forward to it.

After the bandits were wiped out, Liu Qing still had a feeling of unfinished, and he wished to fight for a few more months, and it was best to complete the system task.

It's a pity that there are so many bandits in Xiaojinzhou, and no matter how much they brush, they can't get points.

Going to other places, such as the Greater Golden State or other countries, is a cross-border operation and is not suitable for doing it.

I can only follow the team back to Gumu County.

When I returned to Gumu County, it was already December.

This time, the task of requisitioning grain went very smoothly.

The county exterminated the bandits and solved the safety problems of the criminals, which made the prestige of the government much more important in their hearts, and they all took the initiative to hand over the grain, and the number was not falsified.

The grain of the border army was sent over, the warehouses were filled, and there were tens of thousands of stone of extra grain.

The grain of tens of thousands of stones, according to convention, belongs to the property at the disposal of the county government of Gumu County.

Although Xu Qingfeng was not there when he collected the grain, when he sent two masters to collect the grain with Master Chen, he was also very clear about these data.

Although Master Chen had other ideas in his heart, he didn't dare to do anything under the supervision of those two masters.

This new magistrate is even more powerful than the previous magistrate, and he has exterminated all the bandits who have been helpless for many years, and he is full of martial virtues, and he also has the help of gods, so he doesn't dare to act badly.

He didn't dare to move the materials worth more than 100,000 yuan seized by the bandit team.

After Xu Qingfeng came back, he counted the accounts and was very satisfied.

At that time, he issued an order to reward every citizen who followed him on the expedition to suppress the bandits, and exempted them from conscription for the next two years—he only had a three-year term of office as the magistrate, and now there were only more than two years left, and he could only be his lord and be exempted from conscription for two years.

For those 500 people, that was a great gift.

In addition to growing food for the border army, these criminals also have to serve as conscripts every year, and the days they work for the government will not be less than 100 days a year.

To work for the government, you have to bring your own dry food.

This puts a great burden on them.

It would certainly be best to be able to avoid such an errand.

When he returned to Gumu County, there were still more than a thousand women who had been snatched by the bandits and had not been disposed of, and Xu Qingfeng also gave priority to the five hundred people who had the opportunity to participate in the blind date activities with those women, choose each other, and give priority to matching.

With a bounty of five dollars and two years of exemption from forced labor, they became the first choice of those women.

The 500 people were single when they came, and when they went back, they brought back five rewards and daughters-in-law, and they were able to remove them from two years of forced labor.

This made those in the same village with them very envious.

It also enhanced the prestige of the county government.

In the future, if the county government wants to recruit them to do anything, they will be more active.

Before the Chinese New Year, the rescued women and children were arranged.

Most chose to marry.

Even a woman who has given birth to a child is welcome in this place, and some people want it.

It's just that some of them are already scared and don't want to live with men anymore, so they choose to work as women.

The Liu family's incense stick workshop arranged some.

In addition, the Xu family also came here to build a textile workshop and arranged the rest of the women who were unwilling to marry.

After those women were properly placed, Liu Qing's system task completion rate reached 70.2%.

This is also a merit.

And it was judged by the system to be Liu Qing's merit.

Before the Chinese New Year, the Liu family sent another team of people.

This is the team sent by Liu Qing after communicating with the Liu family with a small spiritism, and they came here to open a brewing workshop.

There is a surplus of grain here, just enough to make wine.

The Liu family has mastered the technology of distilling liquor, and Liu Qing also wants to bring them more wealth to facilitate his actions in the future.

The food claimed by those bandits' dens is also what he left to the Liu family.
