Chapter 345 Ten Thousand Stones of Food
Looking at Magistrate Lin standing in the middle, he always looked calm and calm, with a resolute face, just like an immortal.
If it weren't for the official uniform they were wearing, they might have mistaken the person in front of them for an immortal.
"Magistrate Lin, I admire you!"
Zhang Bo cupped his hands and said.
Faced with the tragic situation in the cottage, Lin Xiaofan's heart did not fluctuate much. The battle in Na Fangcheng made him grow a lot.
He has seen scenes littered with corpses and thousands of people fighting each other. Nowadays, the battle of hundreds of people is just a small fight in his eyes.
Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter, the sun was rising, and the clouds in the sky were disappearing.
Lin Xiaofan yawned. He had stayed up all night to deal with this group of bandits.
"You two, go with the guards to clean up the mess and find the Daliang people among those who surrendered."
In the face of life and death, there is no chance that some people from Daliang will blend into the crowd and wait for an opportunity to escape. These people have committed serious crimes, so naturally they cannot be allowed to leave.
These two young men are thoughtful and quite intelligent. Although they have not yet been cultivated, they are more than enough to do such small things.
When the two of them heard this, they both looked eager to give it a try.
This is the first thing arranged by County Magistrate Lin. Although it is not very important and not difficult, they must do their best to perform well.
Lin Xiaofan walked towards the camp, but saw a embarrassed figure. He hurriedly ran up. After seeing the person clearly, a smile appeared on his face:
"Song Shang, what did you do?"
Today, Song Shang's face, clothes, and shoes are covered with dust, he walks with a limp, and there is blood on his forehead.
"Don't mention it. After releasing Lei Zhenzi, I ran too fast and fell on the road."
Song Shang smiled bitterly.
Until now, he should be the most seriously injured. I want to ask how I got injured. I fell down while running too fast.
"That's because Brother Song stepped on the air and rolled two to three feet before he stopped."
Li Hu teased from the side.
For a moment, everyone on the field couldn't help laughing.
Although Lin Xiaofan didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still imagine the scene of Song Shang rolling on the ground.
At this time, he should have said a few words of comfort, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't suppress the raised corners of his mouth, and finally had to say:
"Hurry back to the camp and bandage it up. Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I will reward you with two taels of silver per person when you return."
Two taels of silver was not much, after all, they were risking their lives to free Lei Zhenzi. It's not a lot, it's worth several months of everyone's wages.
But this caused everyone to cheer.
In their opinion, the wages of the escorts were enough to make them work hard, so these two taels of silver were more like a pie that suddenly fell from the sky.
"Don't worry, everyone, if you follow me in the future, as long as you have merit, you will be rewarded, and it will be a heavy reward. But if you have, then I will never think about personal affairs."
As long as rewards and punishments are clear, everyone can be willing to sacrifice their lives for him and kill the enemy bravely in battle.
Lin Xiaofan glanced at everyone, and finally landed on the poor Song Shang, he chuckled and said:
"Song Shang, please take four taels of silver, buy some good things to replenish your body, and take good care of your injuries."
"Thank you so much, Magistrate Lin!"
Song Shang hurriedly bowed.
"Brother Song, why don't you treat us to a meal?"
"That's right, the reward is four taels of silver."
"Let's go to Magistrate Lin's Zuixian Restaurant for a meal."
"Go, go, go, even if you sell me I can't even afford you. But it's okay to go to a small restaurant."
Many guards coaxed them away, and then another group of people came.
"Lord County Magistrate, food is all food!"
A guard captain ran over quickly, breathless from exhaustion, but could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Speak slowly and stay calm when things happen. What's going on?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
I still have to train these people well. If they are so excited when encountering trivial things, if they didn't know better, they would think they have tens of thousands of shi of food.
"Sir, there are nearly ten thousand kilograms of food in this gangster's lair!"
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he was shocked.
Thousands of stones of food are enough to support an army of thousands of people. If he hadn't known that this was the home of rogue bandits, he would have thought that someone was about to start an uprising.
"Are you sure? Do you have Wanshi?"
Lin Xiaofan hesitated to confirm, mainly because the number was too exaggerated.
"Sir, I can't tell the exact amount. In short, it costs six to seven thousand dan at least."
He has never seen so much food since he was a child.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Lin Xiaofan lost his composure and immediately wanted to check it out in person.
The two of them walked all the way to the ruined mountain stronghold, where several granaries were filled with grain.
Lin Xiaofan swallowed. If these were sold, he might be able to get thousands of taels of silver.
You should know that the income of a big family in a year is only this much.
No wonder the three families of Wang, Lin, and Xiang in Degao County have developed so rapidly in just a few years. Raising bandits can indeed make a lot of money.
"County Magistrate Lin, these grains are produced in Minfeng County, how about we dispose of them? Of course, you have come all the way to suppress bandits, I am willing to give you 20% of it."
On the side, Cheng Zheng of Minfeng County spoke, his eyes full of greed.
With so much food, as long as I secretly steal 20% of it, that would be a lot of money.
Originally, he was a little reluctant to let him suppress the bandits, but now as long as he can get food, it's all worth it.
"Thirty percent, Magistrate Lin, I'll give you 30%. If it's more, I won't be able to deal with the higher ups."
Seeing that Lin Xiaofan remained silent, Cheng Zheng thought that he had not given enough, so he immediately smiled bitterly and made an embarrassed expression.
Lin Xiaofan ignored it, looked at the guard on the side, and said:
"Give each of the brothers sixty kilograms, and the rest will be distributed to the villages that were plundered."
All this food comes from the villagers of Minfeng County. If it is not returned to them, many people will probably starve to death this year.
Hearing this, Cheng Zheng's eyebrows furrowed together, he quickly stopped in front of Lin Xiaofan, and said hurriedly:
"Magistrate Lin, wait, we have something to discuss. How about I give you 40%? If it is given back to the villagers, we won't get any benefit."
Lin Xiaofan turned a corner, bypassed the city and walked forward.
Chengzheng still wanted to step forward, but was blocked by the surrounding guards.
He tried to rush out, and even tried to instigate the surrounding city guards, but it was of no use.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan walking further and further away, he became more and more anxious and shouted:
"Magistrate Lin, think about it! According to national law, the food used to suppress bandits should be handed over to the government for disposal! You made your decision privately, but it is against national law."
Lin Xiaofan never stopped. Although this batch of food was very tempting to him, he did not want to eat the steamed buns with human blood.
As for talking about national law, it is indeed a handle. After going back, let Zhao Shan find a way for herself.
