Super County Magistrate: Start against the bandits

Great Chu calendar, autumn moon seventeen!

It has been two days since Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others left.

This time, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu left, with a lot of carriages, with a lot of cotton clothes, food, and logistics, there should be no big problem.

"Eh, I don't know, when will I be able to clear the clouds and see the sun!" Li

Tian couldn't help but muttering as he saw that the dark clouds in front of him were still dense.

"My lord!"

Suddenly, the master's voice sounded from behind.

"What's the matter!"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the county government's reserve silver is not enough, and now there are more than three thousand taels."

Li

Tian almost choked himself on a mouthful of water.

What a joke!

It's only been a long time, and there's not enough money.

"Master, are you joking with me, didn't we have more than 10,000 taels of silver left before the county government?

"You can see for yourself, the accounts are not bad, and the original money is enough, but after you let me run a school, don't forget to build a restaurant and inn, and in addition, Mr. Zheng Ruhua also directly took 6,000 taels from me for the defense construction of the county government.

"Also, you asked me to buy 10,000 catties of rice noodles from Linjiang County! I also bought a lot of pork.

"That meat must be salted, otherwise it can't be stored!"

"You know the current price of salt, a pound is worth a tael of silver."

"People can't afford to eat at all! at most, buy half a tael and eat it slowly at home."

"Let's buy a few hundred catties in one go and put them there, you can still blame me."

Hearing this, Li Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"Blame me, blame me, blame you. "

Those hundreds of catties of salt are what Li Tian wants to buy.

The reason is simple.

He wanted to try the distilled salt to make it more delicate.

After all, in his previous life, he had only studied physics in junior high school, and he had never tried it himself.

In addition, these salts, Li Tian is also prepared to be used to marinate salted duck eggs.

In this era, salt was particularly scarce, not to mention, the yield was low, and therefore expensive.

Salted duck eggs are basically eaten by dignitaries.

Ordinary people don't even smell it.

Therefore, Li Tian prepared to pickle them, and took these as rewards to reward the people in the future.

Now in the rainy season, the road is not easy to walk, our charcoal is not easy to transport, and the charcoal is not good to accumulate there, so we have to continue to paste silver to the people every day. "

Let's think about it! Let's go back and see if we can set up a line with the charcoal selling mills in Linjiang and Linquan counties and sell it to them cheaper."

"In this way, we can save some manual transportation."

"I'll let Mr. Zheng go back and go."

"Well, then I'll continue to be busy, my lord, as soon as you can get more than three thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it for long." The

master said again, and then left quickly.

Watching the master leave, Li Tian patted his head with a headache.

"Damn, am I not too much pace of construction, more than 10,000 taels, it won't last long.

"Now it is still early for Liu Yunrong to pay distilled liquor dividends, and she bought a lot of tea last time, and Zhang Hongshan estimates that she has not sold the goods yet, and she can't send money recently. "

What a headache!"

"My lord!"

At this time, Wang Quan walked in from outside the county office.

"What is it that bothers you so much? Tell me or I'll fix it for you.

"What else could it be?" The county government is short

of money!"

"Lack of money?"

"Yes, but it's still a little short of the time they pay.

"I'm thinking about how I'm going to get the money quickly.

"It's a temporary lack of money! It's not a difficult task, leave it to me." "

You?" Li

Tian looked suspicious.

"Naturally!"

"How do you make money?"

"Have you forgotten that in addition to our Linshui County, there are many bandits in other counties, and I have been asking people to inquire these days, and finally found several large bandit gathering points in Linmu, Linquan, and Linhe counties. "

I want to eat them in one go, so that I can not only harvest a large number of supplies, but also replenish the finances of the county government!"

"I originally planned to do this slowly, but now it seems that it can only be put on the agenda. "

Originally, the king and magnates planned to ask for some of the refugees brought back by Zhang Long, and after training them into soldiers, they would be pulled out for training, and the bandits in these three places would be used as training places.

But now I have to change my plans.

"There are a lot of bandits there!" Li

Tian also had this intention for a long time, but he had always dared not do it because he was afraid of those bandits.

"There aren't many special operations officers in the county government now, so could it be that we are recruiting people from among the people?"

"That way, it will cause unnecessary trouble, don't forget the Wujiang prefect, but what about you, if you let him know that it was you who did it to other bandits, I don't guarantee that he will risk being strictly investigated by the capital to deal with you directly!"

"Now, with our skills, there is no way to kill the Wujiang prefect." Hearing

this, Li Tian was thoughtful.

"It's feasible, if you can destroy the bandits in these three places, maybe you can still control some

evidence!" "But I'm worried that the Wujiang prefect will jump over the wall

in a hurry!" "That's not true, he doesn't have absolute evidence to prove that we did it, and it is impossible to send a large army to suppress the border, at most send someone to investigate!"

Wang

Quangui chuckled.

"Cheng, then everything is up to Mr., but how should these three bandits take it?"

Li Tian asked rhetorically at this time.

At the beginning, Qingfeng Village was repelled by Li Tian and many talents.

Nowadays, there are not enough people, so they rashly attack the bandit points that may be more powerful than Qingfeng Village, which is a bit of a sheep's mouth.

"Haha, the mountain people have their own tricks.

"However, this will require you to use your weapons. "

Borrow my weapon?" Li Tian frowned.

"No, to be precise, I want to borrow it from you.

"I guess that the ability of the adults is absolutely extraordinary, this time we have few people to act, in order to ensure that the action is foolproof, I can only ask you to cooperate."

As long as I can find a way to get the money, you can make me do anything.

Li Tian hurriedly spoke.

"Okay, then pay me

some silver first, I still need to get some things!" "No problem, I'll ask Master to get you some silver now!"

Li Tian nodded and hurriedly did so.

The matter of making money cannot be delayed for a moment, or it will not be long before Zhang Long will bring the refugees back, and their food and drink will cost money.

If you don't make money, you can't do it!

Seeing that Li Tian was so anxious, Wang Quangui also smiled softly.
