There are many baskets, straw bags, poles, and grains piled in the courtyard of Longmu Temple. There are also grains in the cracks of the stone slabs. It looks no different from the general courtyard where grain is piled, except that there are a few large pools of blood on the ground and steps, which is shocking.
Food, cloth and all kinds of goods are piled up in various houses in the temple, including all kinds of goods... probably even the goods from various shops in the town in the past and the items he looted and forcibly requisitioned. One package is included.
There are bundles of them and they are piled up in a messy manner.
"Now we are rich," Luo Yiming said happily. "The county is very poor. Now with these trophies, it will be much easier to carry out work in the future."
At present, they are in such difficulty that even the food and wages of the National Army squadron have to be jointly supplied. If they want to expand their troops locally, they can't come up with money and food. With Sun Dabiao's things, many things that they want to do but can't do can be solved.
.
Fenda was not as excited as him: Sun Dabiao's things seemed to be a lot, but in fact they were not much when compared to the expenses of the entire county?? She still remembered what her teacher said in the course: Although temporary income such as seizures and fines can be instantaneous
Getting rich suddenly solves many problems, but it doesn't last long. Local finances have to rely on long-term revenue from trickle-down taxes.
Although Sun Dabiao was eliminated, a harm was eliminated, Yao District was consolidated, and the powerful people in the county were deterred. However, the security in the county has not improved yet. Feng Haijiao and Yang Tianyi's troops are still active in the county. After this battle, the enemy
Their vigilance will undoubtedly increase, and it is hard to say how long the mountain companies can stay here.
Pinda clearly knew that this victory was all due to the good fighting of the mountain company. Without this sharp knife, she would not have dared to implement this plan even if she had three National Army squadrons.
Once the Mountain Company is transferred, the military pressure on the county will suddenly increase.
"The things should be inventoried and cataloged first," said Pinda, "and then slowly moved to the county town. General commercial goods should not be moved except for cloth... We also need to restore local commerce."
The last thing I saw was the "box office". There were more than 70 "tickets" in a side hall separated by men and women, ranging in age from octogenarians to young children. They were all in tattered clothes and unkempt, and many of them had been tortured.
I could only lie on the dirty ground and moan. Seeing the "official" coming, everyone who could move knelt down.
"Old... Master..." Although the leader's old man's clothes were in tatters and his expression was sluggish, judging from the material of his clothes, he was a rich man, "Little..."
"Okay, everyone, get up." Panda said, "I am the county magistrate of this county..."
At this moment, everyone in the box office opened their eyes wide, and even those who couldn't stand up raised their heads and looked at the young woman in front of them.
"You are all suffering!" Pinda said, "We will send you all to the county town in a while. When we arrive at the county town, we will treat your injuries first, and then send you home one by one. Please rest here for a while, and don't be careless.
Walk around?? The remaining bandits are still being cleaned up outside."
These few words were spoken clearly and concisely, and there was no inconspicuous "official accent". All the "notes" made everyone feel surprised and happy. I was so surprised that the Australians would actually send a young girl to be the county magistrate, and I was so happy that I finally got out of it.
Some people have been imprisoned here for more than half a year. Most of them are local wealthy households, and the worst are self-cultivated farmers. When they arrive here, the men work like slaves; the women, some of them are imprisoned.
The gangsters showed off their lust, and the ugly and old ones were forced to do hard work. In order to urge their families to send money as soon as possible, they were tortured by the bandits at various places. Some people were tortured alive because their families could not pay the ransom.
Some even died, and some committed suicide because they couldn't bear the torture. Although others were still alive, they were still in a state of confusion, living one day at a time.
"Thank you so much, Master..." The leading old man was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed, "Master's grace, I will never forget it..."
This immediately attracted a chorus of grateful voices, and the sounds of kowtows came and went.
"Okay, okay, you guys need to rest first. If you need anything, tell the soldiers here." Pinda said, "We will try our best to satisfy you as much as we can."
The battlefield was cleaned until noon before it was declared completely over. In the entire battle of Da?~, more than 200 bandits were killed, and 338 bandits and their family members were captured. 127 civilians were captured after rescuing the bandits. The county
On the government side, only five people were killed and seventeen others were wounded. It was a great victory.
Seized were 1,100 kilograms of grain, 400 kilograms of salt, 2,000 bolts of silk and various cloths, 350 pieces of various skins, 5,000 kilograms of medicinal materials, and 20,000 kilograms of miscellaneous groceries. One thousand three thousand pounds of silver were seized.
One hundred taels, eighty taels of gold, and three thousand taels of copper coins.
"This money is obviously not all the belongings of Sun Dabiao and others."
"That's natural," said Pinda. "We'll just ask him slowly."
While we were talking, someone came to report: "County Magistrate, the battlefield in Da?~ has been cleared."
"How are the bodies disposed of?"
"The prisoners are being asked to dig trenches."
"Don't dig trenches." Pinda took a deep breath, "You give me my order: Bury the corpses of these bandits on both sides of the road at the entrance of Da?~Wei. The graves don't have to be too deep, and the graves need to be piled high.
?Three meters, maybe.”
Zhen Huan said in confusion: "Well, why are you building a tomb..."
Luo Yiming didn't understand either. But now that the county magistrate's order was given, just follow it. He was a little worried at first, fearing that the little girl wouldn't be able to shoulder the burden, but now he was completely convinced by her.
This battle was fought swiftly and swiftly. Not only were Sun Dabiao's gangsters annihilated, but Sun Dabiao's entire family was also captured alive, and Zhang Tianbo was killed. Two of the three tyrants in Yangshan were declared dead. A large number of bandit leaders and old bandits were either killed or killed.
After being captured alive, the news spread back to the county town. The gloomy haze that had once caused low morale among the garrison and cadres was suddenly swept away. You Ciren could not restrain his joy and immediately ordered the rear cannon at the top of the city to fire three times. Peng Shou'an was even more surprised.
He tugged at his beard: This little Liman girl is really capable! When he heard that Pinda buried the bandits he killed on both sides of the road and piled up big piles of earth to dispose of them, he was even more surprised: This
We were visiting Duijing! I didn’t expect this Liman woman to know this!
"The county magistrate has further instructions." The correspondent who came back from delivering the letter was breathless. "First, Pan Tianshun is asked to return to Yonghua immediately to recruit a hundred young men; second, from the remaining government officials in the county, four strong government officials who are good at using torture are selected.
The county's executioners and their executioners immediately rushed to Da?~Wei to listen to their orders. Third, the county sent 300 civilians, carrying poles, baskets, and buses, to arrive at Da?~Wei early tomorrow morning to transport the spoils. Four.
, informed the whole county: Da?~ has been restored, and the people in the original Wei or who are willing to move to Da?~ can come to Da?
It builds houses. If merchants are willing to come, the land for shops and houses will be allocated free of charge. All taxes will be exempted."
"It's easy to say, but the county is lacking in strength. We will send another 300 Minzhuang on the road..." You Ciren hesitated because Minzhuang still had to send someone to escort him. The county had only a few dozen troops at full strength.
"The county magistrate has sent a platoon of soldiers from the mountain company back. They will arrive at the county seat before noon."
Hearing that Li Miaolian was coming back, You Ciren's worries were all gone: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
"correct,"
Because they decided to stay here for a while to work, the National Army Squadron and the Mountain Company worked together to renovate and strengthen the three courtyards. The original Shanhuo Store was used as the location of the "organ". The Longmu Temple was still used as the "warehouse", and the other three courtyards were built.
One building was converted into a garrison for the National Army.
All the ruins around the three buildings were cleared, on the one hand using building materials, and on the other hand clearing the boundaries between the various compounds.
Pinda took care of the fire-burned ground to be leveled, and the roads in the large fair were paved with bricks and stones, and drainage ditches were dug. Personnel were also sent to clean the wells everywhere, and all corpses and debris were removed.
He came out, washed out the water, and ordered people to burn the remaining wood, reed mats and other building materials on both sides of the road to build a shed.
"County Magistrate, are you trying to..." Luo Yiming couldn't understand the County Magistrate more and more.
"We just set up shop and do business here." Pinda laughed, "Sun Dabiao said he would rather give his wife to Wang Chuyi than hand over this land. How can we let it go to waste if we occupy it?"
Luo Yiming understood now and smiled. "I understand! The county magistrate really has a strategy."
Zhen Huan saw them chatting and laughing, but they were indifferent to him, and he felt very disappointed. He said: "The county is not peaceful now, who would come here to do business!"
"It is precisely because the county is not at peace that we can do a separate business. These salt, cloth, and miscellaneous work are all urgently needed commodities in the Yao District. No matter how much the Yao people in Yonghua hated Sun Dabiao in the past, they had to come here to buy. We can also do this business
It's done." Pinda said, "These hundreds of stones of salt and these many groceries are originally products to be sold to the Yao District. We don't need to transport them back. We can sell them on the spot, which will stabilize the Yao people in Yonghua.
How can we obtain materials from the Yao District? We can also reduce the war burden on the Senate by transferring the materials to the rear. It is very difficult for everyone now."
"It's so thoughtful! I think about the Senate everywhere. I'm really closer than my daughter..." Luo Yiming said jokingly.
"I am the daughter of the Senate." said Pinda.
Luo Yiming is an old naturalized citizen, and he is well aware of the burning emotions that many naturalized people have for the Senate's "reconstruction grace", but they rarely express it so frankly and openly in front of outsiders alone.
The cadres responsible for screening and registering prisoners here reported: All prisoners have been screened and registered. Among them, civilians who were forced to become bandits were also identified by "tickets" and civilians, and the remaining ones were indeed bandits. According to the
Status and crime size were registered separately.
