Chapter 12 Controlling the strong class
  After persuading the Zhao family to leave, Lin Feng invited Magistrate Zhang out again and said to him: "My lord, you saw it just now. They killed Zhao Guangqing and encouraged his family members to go to the county government to cause trouble. This is a very despicable method. Do it.

In order to prevent them from jumping over the wall, inciting civil unrest and causing negative effects, the official suggested not to arrest others for the time being and to stabilize the situation. "

"Yuanshan is very considerate, and I agree." Magistrate Zhang is most afraid of causing trouble.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is that we have a reliable force and we need to reform the strong squad. There is obviously something wrong with the arresting squad leader. We can use the charge of guard Zhao Guangqing's dereliction of duty as an opportunity to make adjustments." Lin Feng suggested.

"Well, this is very important. The arrest team is like this. I can't sleep well. Please ask Yuan Shan to catch him hard." Magistrate Zhang was still afraid of trouble, so he used Lin Feng violently when he caught him.

"Understood, but to stabilize and control the team, we have to spend money. We also ask the county magistrate to allocate two hundred taels from the confiscated silver taels from the Zhao family as funds." Although Lin Feng now has a lot of money in the small treasury in the space, there is no reason to use private money. When doing business, it is easy to arouse suspicion from others.

"It's 200 taels. Hey, I'll allocate it to you. I'll save some money in the future. The salary hasn't been paid yet." Magistrate Zhang felt heartbroken when he heard that he was going to pay. The money had just been put into his pocket. It's hot.

"Please rest assured, Lord County, we won't miss the opportunity to collect the levy." Lin Feng assured.

After dealing with these things, it was getting late.

When Lin Feng returned to the county magistrate's office, only Lin Jiakang was waiting. Fang Tiezhu has been assigned to the strong class by Lin Feng, and key positions must be watched by his own people.

When Lin Jiakang saw Lin Feng, he said: "Sir, these people took advantage of our absence to turn your public house upside down and made it a mess everywhere."

It seems that Ding Dadianshi sent people here to find the account books and destroy them. Unfortunately, he was prepared. They could not find them even if they dug three feet in the county government office.

"How about you contact Chen Xiong and the others today?" Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to the fact that the public house was broken into.

"Chen Huanwei and the others have selected two shops, almost next to each other, and have negotiated with the owners. I found a clerk at the county government office to help them handle the transfer procedures. It only cost less than 50 taels in total.

I also conveyed the young master's intention to them. They have recruited several reliable people among the refugees outside the city. Lin Jiakang replied.

"Very good, continue to keep in touch with them, so that they don't have to spend any money. In addition, you should learn more about the situation with the county clerks and see who is available." Lin Feng continued.

"Understood!" Lin Jiakang replied.

After a brief dinner and returning to the room, Lin Feng immediately entered the passenger plane space to check what he had gained at Zhao's house today.

After counting, about 1200 taels of silver were collected from Zhao Guangqing's house, which was more than what was turned in during the inspection. This little official is really good at making money.

After opening the iron box that was brought in at the same time, in addition to two old wild ginseng that looked quite old, there was a handwritten booklet inside.

Lin Feng flipped through it. It mainly recorded his accepting bribes, working for Ding Dianshi and some situations in the county government. In short, it was diverse and contained a lot of content.

After a cursory reading, Lin Feng had a basic understanding of the personnel in the county government, especially the office clerks and the leaders of the third shift.

Fortunately, Zhuang Ban's main job in the county government was to do hard work such as standing guard and patrolling, and there was little oil and water. The squad leader was just a worker and had no collusion with Ding Yingqi, which reassured Lin Feng a lot.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng went to Zhuang Ban's room without even eating breakfast. Whatever you do these days, you must first control the armed forces. Although the strong squad is not an army, it still has seventy or eighty people, making it the largest squad of government officials in the county.

From now on, we will mainly rely on this team to settle down and live in the county. It will be okay if we don't hurry up.

When Lin Feng arrived, the Zhuangban Yamen servant was having breakfast. In the small canteen, each person only had a bowl of millet porridge, a black steamed bun and some pickles. The millet porridge is really thin, and you probably have to use a magnifying glass to find the rice grains. Several government servants who followed Lin Feng to ransack his house yesterday saw Lin Feng coming and ran over to greet him enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Zuotang!" It seemed that it was different after paying money.

Later, Lin Feng also suffered hardships when he started his own business with the company. He asked a familiar government servant to give him a breakfast, and he ate it in big gulps.

Although the black buns are a bit harsh on the teeth and the pickles are too salty, they can still be swallowed with porridge.

At this time, the squad leader Sun Jiewu immediately ran over after hearing the news and said repeatedly: "Sir, how can you eat this breakfast? I will send someone to buy you something hot right away."

"Brothers can eat well, why can't I eat it? You can still eat your breakfast, but the black bun contains a bit too much sand, so it's a bit toothsome to eat." Lin Feng continued.

"Sir, our strong class is really tight on money, so we can only buy the worst wheat flour to make steamed buns." Sun Jiewu said shamefully.

"How much does it cost to eat every month now?"

"My lord, one cent per person per day, nearly 30 people will spend about taels per month on food." Sun Jie replied.

When Lin Feng heard this, he found that each person only had 0.3 taels of food expenses per month, and could not buy half a stone of food. No wonder the food was so poor.

"Then let's increase it to 50 taels per month first. This money will be withdrawn from me. I have to manage it well in the future and make sure the brothers have enough to eat." Lin Feng knew from managing employees that the new leader must win the hearts and minds of the people as quickly as possible. The only way is to improve the food.

"Thank you, sir!" Sun Jiewu said happily. The other Zhuangban yamen officers nearby also burst into cheers when they heard the news.

After dinner, he came to the duty room of the strong class. Lin Feng sat down at the top of the table unceremoniously, then asked Sun Jiewu to sit down as well, and asked Fang Tiezhu to stand aside and wait on him.

"Team leader Sun, how many people are there in our strong class, and how many parts are they divided into?" Lin Feng only knew a general idea about the third class of the Yamen, so he had to ask about the specific situation first.

"Sir, there are currently 83 people in the Zhuang Ban, divided into three groups, namely the group guarding the city gate, the second group guarding the warehouse and the third group guarding the county government." Sun Jiewu replied.

"In this way, you ask Fang Tiezhu to follow the three teams guarding the county government first to get familiar with the situation. Then you choose a smart and reliable team leader to replace the leader of the arrest team.

Zhao Guangqing, the jailer of the arrest squad, has seriously neglected his duties. This squad leader will definitely have to be removed. I will propose to the county magistrate to send someone from your place to take over. "Lin Feng then released another piece of major good news.

"Sir Xie, Luo Jingyuan, the third team leader who happens to be guarding the Yamen, is very reliable and has sufficient qualifications. I recommend him for this humble position." Sun Jiewu said happily.

He was also very smart. He knew Lin Feng's intention of arranging Fang Tiezhu to study with the third group, and immediately made a place for him. When the leader arranges for his cronies to come over, he can't just be the top soldier.

"In the past few days, you have controlled the strong squad for me, closely monitored the activities of the county government, and sent extra manpower to protect the county magistrate and me to prevent anyone from jumping over the wall in a hurry." Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood, I've been keeping an eye on it personally for the past few days. Please rest assured, sir." Sun Jiewu said.

"Okay, let Luo Jingyuan take two people to our county magistrate's office to take orders first." Lin Feng finally said.
