Chapter 107 Two hundred thousand taels
"The thieves are all ambushed?"
Sun Siwen looked at Zhou Qing and asked excitedly.
"Yes."
Zhou Qing was very respectful to Sun Siwen, who was also an elder of the master's friend, and nodded at this time: "But there are still some remnants of thieves who have escaped." Ma Patrol They are leading people to search in the city, and now that the city gate has been blocked, these people will not be able to escape for long. ”
"Good, good!" Sun Siwen stroked his hands and applauded again and again.
After a night of suffering, it was only at this time that the big stone in my heart fell to the ground.
Lu Yuan glanced at him amusedly, then turned his head and said to his disciple: "Since the thieves of all families have been eliminated, then you immediately take people to count the property of these traitors." After sorting out an approximate number, report it to me.
Also, send another team of people to the streets to maintain order, if anyone in the city dares to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
You're welcome, treat them as traitors and kill them together. ”
"Yes."
Zhou Qing immediately received the order and continued to do things.
After he left, Lu Yuan looked at Sun Siwen, who had relaxed a lot, and said, "Brother Sun, although the traitors in the city have been eliminated, these are actually just small thieves, and they are easy to remove.
Without them, all the good people in the city will be obedient.
But last night we killed the patriarch of the three surnamed Miao, who are close to the mountains and rivers, active between the mountains and mountains, and have never obeyed Wang Hua very much.
Now that their patriarch is dead, we will break with them, and there will be no chance of peace.
If it is not properly handled, they will defend the mountains and harass the place, then Wugang County will never have peace. ”
For this kind of barbarian tribe living in the mountains, it has always been a headache for the imperial court.
They don't provide much for taxes, they don't talk about being poor and barbaric, and they rebel from time to time.
Send people to pacify them, but they turn their heads and drill into the mountain, and your army can only stare outside the mountain, and there is nothing you can do at all.
Therefore, those Miao people always surrender and rebel, and rebel and surrender, which has always been a stubborn disease in Dongting County and cannot be eradicated.
But in that situation last night, it was impossible for Lu Yuan to let go of those Miao patriarchs alone without killing.
Otherwise, these Miao people, who are afraid of power but not virtue, still think that the government is afraid of them, and they are afraid that they will become more arrogant and become more difficult to govern.
Therefore, they simply did not do it, and they all killed them all.
However, it is not so painful to kill and deal with trouble.
The three surnamed Miao people in Wugang County have a total of 10,000 men, women, and children, which is a huge force.
If not handled properly, this will really explode.
"The Miao people problem has always been a stubborn disease. Now there are beacons everywhere in Dongting County, which is also due to the rebellion of these Miao people. ”
Speaking of the Miao people, Sun Siwen also had a headache at this time, he was just a civil official who was good at teaching, and it was a mess to let him deal with these martial affairs.
At this time, he could only look at Lu Yuan for help: "Brother Lu, what can I do?" ”
Lu Yuan had already had a plan for this, smiled, and said: "Those Miao people against the government are only relying on the benefits of the mountains. Relying on the fact that the government is not familiar with the mountain environment, he used it to fight against the imperial court heavenly masters.
But the soldiers I recruited were all mountain hunters who shuttled through the mountains.
When it comes to familiarity with the mountains, they are no less than those Miao people.
With these soldiers here, the Miao people's mountains and mountains took advantage of most of them.
And now that the city gate is closed, the news in the city can't get out, and those Miao people should not know that their patriarch is dead.
I plan to wait for the city to be cleared of those remnants today, and then tomorrow I will send troops to attack, and while those Miao people have not yet reacted, I will sweep through their villages one by one.
Broke through the Miao people's stockade, controlled their families, and killed those leaders, even if they wanted to rebel, they couldn't make waves. ”
Just like the Hongmen Banquet, Lu Yuan's method is to kill.
He has always believed that the troubles in the world are endless, and many of them cannot be dealt with at all.
Or the way to deal with it is not satisfactory to everyone.
But all troubles and problems come before there are people.
So since you can't solve the trouble, then solve the person who makes the trouble, and naturally there will be no trouble.
The same is true of the five clans and gangs in the rivers and lakes that were killed last night, and the same is true of the current three surnamed Miao.
Hearing that he was going to kill someone again, Sun Siwen felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that this was the best way, so he said: "I said before, the civil affairs in the county belong to me, and the martial affairs belong to Brother Lu." I don't know anything about the military, so I'll leave this matter to Brother Lu. ”
Lu Yuan nodded: "I'll leave this matter to me." ”
Subsequently, Sun Siwen, who hadn't slept much all night, couldn't hold it anymore, so he got up to say goodbye and returned to the bedroom to rest.
Lu Yuan looked at the bright sky, and then continued to cultivate.
Cultivating to the point where he is at this point, his energy is far more than ten times that of ordinary people, and it is not a problem at all to hold on for a few days without sleeping.
At the moment, things are not dealt with, and it is not time to rest.
……
In the afternoon, Zhou Qing came back again.
After a busy day and a night, even if it was a third-rate martial artist, this apprentice was a little tired.
However, perhaps because of the large number of killings, Zhou Qing's spirit still seemed a little excited, and at this time, he commanded people, carried boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and moved into the backyard.
He stood aside and reported to his master: "Master, this time I counted the goods of the seven families, and got more than 1,700 taels in cash, more than 39,000 taels of silver, and more than 700,000 copper coins.
The depreciation of the rest of the jewelry, antiques and other items should also be worth more than 50,000 taels.
There are also land deeds, land properties, houses and shops and other assets, roughly counted, worth no less than 100,000 taels of silver.
This time, the thieves were cleaned up, and the property obtained was no less than 200,000 taels of silver. However, if you want to fully monetize, you still need to take some time to sell. ”
Zhou Qing said excitedly.
The huge sum of 200,000 taels of silver was also a total amount that he had never seen before.
In a small county town, Lu Yuan was also surprised that so much silver could be scavenged.
You must know that even if he has sold his official position several times before, coupled with his original family background, his savings have only just exceeded 10,000 taels of silver.
But now in less than a day, he has caught 200,000 taels of silver.
Although it was impossible for him to take all this amount of silver.
It is also necessary to give some rewards to the soldiers and fulfill the original promise to help them settle down. At the same time, a part was left for Sun Siwen as funds to restore production in the county.
But even if the above is removed, Lu Yuan will have no problem making a hundred thousand taels of silver.
The assets have skyrocketed tenfold in one day, and anyone who listens to it will be pleasantly surprised.
"Very good, you look at it, seal all this money, and then personally bring someone to guard it strictly." With so much money put together, it is not safe for anyone to see Lu Yuan, so he can only send his most trusted disciple to guard it.
As for himself?
Tomorrow is going to crusade against the Miao people, such a major action, of course, it is impossible to hand it over to those few subordinates, you have to watch it yourself.
"Yes."
Zhou Qing also knew that wealth was touching and the stakes were very important, so he nodded solemnly.
