If Jin Feng wanted to take a concubine, there would be a lot of girls in Xihewan and Guanjiawan waiting for him to marry, so there was no way he could resort to deception and robbery.
At this moment he just felt angry.
"Over there at the stables, Master, follow me!"
Shuanzi got up from the ground and pointed to the northwest corner.
In the northwest corner of the plain, there is a row of low wooden houses next to the stables.
The veterans had only searched the brick and tile courtyards just now, and had not searched other places. They did not expect that there were so many people hiding in the inconspicuous wooden house.
Jin Feng opened the door of one of the wooden houses and almost vomited.
I saw at least a dozen women crowded into a small room of less than twenty square meters.
They usually eat, drink and have sex in this room, so you can imagine the smell inside.
Most of the women's clothes were too torn to cover their bodies, and some were simply naked.
Many people had dull eyes and lay on the ground without moving. Only two people glanced at the door.
"Damn Liu Jiang!"
Qing Mulan gritted her teeth and said.
If Liu Jiang were here, she would definitely kill him with a knife.
The same goes for the next five rooms.
When we got to the sixth room, the situation became different.
The dozen or so women locked in this room were all neatly dressed, but when they saw someone opening the door, they all shrank into the corner in fear.
They should be the new batch.
"Sir, what are you going to do with them?" Qing Mulan asked in a deep voice.
It was the first time for her to see such a miserable scene since she was a child.
Faced with a river of blood in the threshing floor, Qing Mulan could force herself to look expressionless, but at this moment, tears shone in the corners of her eyes.
"Mu Lan, you and Amei are women, go and communicate with them and let them go home by themselves," Jin Feng said.
"good."
Qing Mulan nodded and led Amei into one of the wooden houses.
"Da Zhuang, you lead the first team to stay to protect Mu Lan and Amei, while the others search the rest of the place."
Jin Feng also felt uncomfortable and turned around to leave with the veteran.
The warehouse, canteen, and thatched hut where the bandits lived were all in large rooms. You could see through them at a glance when you opened the door. The search was quick. It only took more than half an hour for Tieniu to search with the veterans.
Only a few women cooking were found in the canteen.
"Sir, it's a good thing that you didn't choose to be trapped in Iron Can Mountain, otherwise we wouldn't be able to starve them to death even if we stayed there for three years."
Tieniu said with a smile: "You don't know, those warehouses are all filled with grain, more than when Tielin's army just replenished the grain."
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Before Liu Jiang took over this place, soldiers once surrounded Tiegun Mountain. Liu Jiang would keep the newly harvested grain every year and sell the old grain, just to avoid being surrounded by the mountain again.
"
Shuanzi said: "Liu Jiang told us more than once that the food on the mountain is enough for all of us to eat for three years."
"Then it looks like we won't have to sell food for a long time."
Jin Feng finally showed a smile.
Due to the lack of strong labor, Dakang has always had insufficient food in recent years. Even if it has money, it is sometimes difficult to buy large quantities of food.
Fortunately, Xihewan and Guanjiawan themselves also farm, and some food can be purchased, otherwise the textile factory would really not be able to afford food.
"Let's go and see what Liu Jiang has left besides food."
Jin Feng turned around and walked towards Liu Jiang's yard.
When they arrived at the door, the woman kneeling on the ground stared at Jin Feng fiercely. If looks could kill, Jin Feng would probably be riddled with holes.
"If you stare at me again, I'll dig your eyes out!"
Tienniu kicked the woman on the shoulder.
Jin Feng didn't stop him either.
Shuanzi has just said that this woman is usually in charge of the robbed women, and the number of people who die in her hands is no less than that of ordinary bandits.
Entering the yard, Jin Feng sat casually on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, watching the veterans carry out sacks and two boxes from the house.
The sacks contained bunches of copper coins, and the boxes contained rows of silver ingots.
"Sir, we have already counted them. The total value of copper coins and silver ingots is one thousand two hundred and ninety taels."
Tieniuhui reports.
"Just over a thousand taels?"
Jin Feng frowned slightly.
"The boss, Liu Jiang's real treasure, is hidden in the kitchen."
Shuanzi pointed to the stove in the kitchen: "It should be under the stove."
"how do you know?"
Jin Feng asked curiously.
"One time I came to see Liu Jiang and saw him coming out of the kitchen with a jade pendant. The woman quickly closed the kitchen door, but I saw that the pot was not on the stove." Shuanzi replied.
"Go and have a look."
Jin Feng winked, and Tieniu immediately led people into the kitchen.
After clearing away the grass ashes, I found a water tank covered with an iron plate under the stove.
Tieniu directly asked people to dismantle the stove and carry the entire water tank into the yard.
"Gou Shuanzi, if you dare to betray the master, I will definitely kill you alive when the master brings someone back!"
When the woman kneeling at the door saw the water tank, she went crazy and struggled to rush in and fight the bolt.
"Be honest with me!"
The veteran guarding the house kicked the woman over and tied her to a pillar.
But the woman continued to curse, so the soldier tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the yard, the veteran took out small boxes containing gold, jade and various treasures from the water tank.
Finally, I found a stack of banknotes.
Tieniu quickly finished counting and said with a smile: "Sir, there are two hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver notes, and jade and the like are not included."
"It seems that this is Liu Jiang's big head."
Jin Feng also smiled.
During the recent period, not only did he have to build a factory, he also had to take care of feeding so many people, and most importantly, he had to purchase a large amount of ore to make iron. The money Jin Feng brought back from Weizhou City was almost used up.
While I was worrying, I got a windfall unexpectedly.
The current exchange ratio of gold and silver is almost ten to one, so two hundred taels of gold equals two thousand taels of silver.
Coupled with the three thousand taels of silver notes and the more than one thousand taels found earlier, Jin Feng finally had enough living money.
"No wonder so many people are willing to become bandits. It turns out that robbery makes money so quickly."
Jin Feng couldn't help but sigh.
With the current scale of textile workshops, I don’t know how many years it will take to earn thousands of taels of silver.
However, it only took one day to rob the bandits from Iron Can Mountain.
Jin Feng couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that there were still several groups of bandits, large and small, in Jinchuan County.
But I was just thinking about it in my mind.
It was a lot of luck that we were able to eliminate the bandits from Iron Can Mountain this time, but after this battle, other bandits will know the reputation of Xihewan and will never underestimate the enemy again.
If we fight again, it will definitely not be that simple.
It is better to use this harvest to develop the business well. This is the long-term strategy.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qing Mulan came over with Amei.
"Sir, what should I do if those women don't want to go home?"
