That night, Zhang Liang went to Mancang and picked up two boxes of flash bombs.
Then the next day, hundreds of male and female escorts set out from Xihewan, Maomao Mountain, Tiegun Mountain and other places and went straight to Heishuigou.
That afternoon the team gathered in Heishuigou and launched a strong attack at dark.
Poor Heishuigou bandits, when have they ever seen flash bombs?
In the first wave of flash bomb attacks, 99% of the bandits were hit and blinded.
These bodyguards have been strictly trained by Zhang Liang. Even if they attack hard, hundreds of bodyguards can definitely capture Heishuigou.
Not to mention that the bandits are now blind.
It only took less than half an hour for the battle to be over.
Except for two female soldiers who were stabbed by the blind bandits while tying up the bandits, none of the bodyguards died in the battle.
The destruction of Heishuigou also means that all large bandit forces in Jinchuan County have been eliminated.
Jin Feng not only rescued hundreds of "meat horses", but also confiscated a large amount of food from the three bandit lairs.
On the day Zhang Liang attacked Heishui Gou, the newly appointed county captain also led his troops to raid the hometowns of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng.
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng plotted to kill the nobleman Jin Feng. The evidence is conclusive. According to the laws of Dakang, the three clans should be punished.
These tribesmen were not only the source of power for Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng, but also the dividers of people's wealth and affluence. Jin Feng did not bother to ask what their final fate was, and focused all his energy on the coal mines outside Heishuigou.
All the captured bandits were sent to Heishuigou, and under the supervision of Lao Hei, mining began.
At the same time, a piece of news began to spread in Jinchuan County.
Mr. Jin from Xihewan has destroyed Heishuigou, Hutou Mountain, and driven away the Double Hump. From now on, there will no longer be bandits in Jinchuan collecting annual grain.
If anyone discovers a bandit, he or she can report it to Xihewan, and Xihewan will send out bodyguards to suppress the bandit. Thirty percent of the bounty obtained by killing the bandit will belong to the people who reported it.
The people of Jinchuan have been harmed by bandits for who knows how many years. As soon as this news came out, the whole Jinchuan was boiling.
Countless people were so happy about this that they set up longevity tablets for Jin Feng at home and worshiped him as a god.
Xihewan has also become a holy place in the hearts of Jinchuan people.
There are fewer and fewer people coming to Xihewan with their families, but more and more people are coming to Xihewan with their families to look for work.
This provides sufficient labor force for the development of Xihewan.
It has to be said that plunder is the fastest way to obtain wealth.
This time, the banknotes and cash seized from County Lieutenant Zhao and the Heishuigou bandits totaled more than fifteen thousand taels. With money in hand, Jin Feng would naturally not let the silver rust in the warehouse.
, not only increased efforts to recruit veterans, but also accelerated the construction of Xihewan.
In addition to two new brick kilns opened by the river, two more lime kilns and cement kilns were built near Changshegou.
Construction sites that were previously slow in progress have significantly accelerated due to the influx of a large number of laborers, almost changing every day.
In addition to Xihewan, Jin Feng also plans to build a fortress similar to a small tower on all the mountain roads that lead directly to Xihewan and Guanjia Village, plus heavy crossbows and catapults to completely protect the two villages.
This will prevent another sneak attack from happening.
There was Lao Hei watching over the Heishui ditch. Jin Feng only stayed for a few days and explained some precautions before returning to Xihewan and diving into the laboratory until Qing Mulan pulled him out.
"Sir, there is news from the capital."
"What's the result?" Jin Feng asked anxiously.
After returning from Guangyuan, he, Guan Xiaorou, and Wan Niang worked overtime to make a batch of special soap, ready to be sent to the palace for Concubine Qing.
Unfortunately, the battle in the capital has never ended. Jin Feng is afraid that the Zhou family will cause trouble, so this plan can only be postponed again and again.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the soap was delivered to Concubine Qing and her reputation was built up, but the soap could not be sold smoothly in the capital.
"What else can we do? It must be unreasonable for Zhou Wenyuan and his guards to kill the soldiers guarding the city for no reason. The Guangyuan County Sheriff will give a memorial every day, begging your majesty to make the decision for him, and join the Zhou family's opponents to take the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. The Zhou family
I can only admit it."
Qing Mulan said: "Sir, you don't know that the Zhou family is bleeding heavily this time. Not only did they agree to our Qing family..."
Jin Feng interrupted Qing Mulan and asked directly: "I don't want to know what the Zhou family promised to other people. I just want to know if the Zhou family will cause trouble if I sell soap in the capital?"
In fact, Jin Feng is also reasonable in this matter, but sometimes things can't be accomplished just by being reasonable.
The power of the Zhou family is too great, but Jin Feng has no foundation at all in the capital. If the other party makes things difficult for him, he can get Jin Feng stuck.
"Don't worry, this is one of the concession conditions proposed by our Qing family and the Guangyuan County Sheriff. The Zhou family promises that they will never embarrass you and the Guangyuan County Sheriff because of this matter in the future." Qing Mulan replied.
"The Zhou family won't go back on their word, right?" Jin Feng asked: "They said it was easy, but when I sent the soap to the capital, they secretly made trouble."
"Don't worry, sir, it won't happen."
Qing Mulan said: "A big noble family like the Zhou family still pays great attention to credibility. Generally, they will not go back on their promises, otherwise no one will believe their promises next time. This is a fatal blow to a noble family. Zhou
The family will not lose the reputation accumulated over hundreds of years for one Zhou Wenyuan.
If you are still worried, sir, you can temporarily store the soap in my Qing family's shop for sale."
"That's good!"
Jin Feng felt relieved now.
"By the way, besides this, I also heard some news."
Qing Mulan said: "Isn't it almost autumn? I heard that the court will issue a new tax notice in the next few days."
"How do you say that?" Jin Feng asked.
Although I had heard before that the court might increase taxes, until a formal announcement was made, it was just speculation, and the actual situation would depend on a formal announcement.
"What else can we say? Just as we guessed, this year's autumn harvest taxes will be increased by 10%."
Qing Mulan said helplessly.
"Hey, how can the people live like this!"
Jin Feng sighed feebly.
He is now a noble. Deep down in his heart, Jin Feng still hopes that Dakang will continue to develop safely and steadily, so that he can enjoy the happiness brought by privilege and wealth.
If the world is in chaos and the princes are all in danger, who will care about a little Baron Qingshui?
It's a pity that this kind of thing is not something he can control. All he can do is to develop and strengthen himself as soon as possible. If one day chaos comes, he will need enough strength to protect the safety of himself, his relatives, and friends.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng felt that there was not enough time, so he shouted at the door and asked the veteran guarding the door to find Zhang Liang and Tang Xiaobei.
