The first thing Qin Chuan asked his men to do was to bury the bodies of the elderly bandits whose heads were cut off by them, and the bodies of the Fan family.

Especially the latter, they must be buried before others discover it.

As for the corpses of other bandits and many Meng family guards, I will ignore them for the time being. First, there are too many corpses, and there are corpses everywhere in the village. There are more than 400 people who go to the Meng family to join the corpses. In addition, nearly a thousand corpses remained by the bandits, and it takes several days and nights to bury them.

Second, these corpses must be left for Master Guan to show, so that Master Guan can know the facts of robbery and know the brute force of the bandits, so that Qin Chuan's heads can be sold more expensively.

Meng Guiming's family... Qin Chuan was kind-hearted and asked his subordinates to help him move the bodies of his family into the ancestral hall. After the important tasks were finished, they helped him handle the funeral, which made Meng Guiming cry in gratitude.

The second thing Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to do was to recruit people, and he now has too few people.

In addition to those who can fight, he also needs all kinds of craftsmen, farmers, and even women who cook, wash, and warm beds.

Recruiting people is actually very simple. Now there are refugees everywhere. He just needs to make a noise and say that there is food in Mengjiazhuang, and countless refugees will flock to him.

Of course, he would not be so stupid that he would directly release the news. In that case, Mengjiazhuang would be overwhelmed by refugees.

He asked Lao Huang and Bobcao to go to Jingyou Town, thirty miles north. The former looks honest and honest on the outside, and the latter is smart enough. These two people are more likely to deceive people.

If these two guys pretend to be refugee grandfathers and grandsons and deceive some refugees over, it is best to ask some people to take their families with their families. Only with their families in the village will those people be loyal to Mengjiazhuang. Of course, when the time comes, Qinchuan will change the village into Qinjiazhuang, or Jiuji Mountain Village.

Another target for recruiting people is miners. The Meng family has one iron ore and one coal yard in Heishan, two iron smelting blast furnaces, and a total of seven or eight hundred miners have been added to the furnace. These miners are the best sources of troops.

Originally, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the management of private iron ores was extremely strict. Only one furnace was allowed to be built in each iron ore site, and the maximum number of furnaces was not exceeding fifty people. But now, as long as the iron class is on time and the officials are filial, this ban is useless.

No one in the Meng family is an official in the government, and the backstage is not strong enough, so they dare not mine in large quantities. After all, the bigger the transaction, the bigger the government's appetite. Once the official is unhappy, he will not be able to escape after investigation.

Shanxi's coal mines are famous for their wealth. The mine owners of this era have long known how to burn coal and smeltek, and Meng Guiming is no exception. There are many iron-producing mountains in Loufan, but he only mines in Heishan because of the coal problem.

Montenegro has both iron and coal. Although it is not considered a symbiosis of ore deposits, the two mines are not far away. Meng Guiming started two furnaces in the coal-producing site, and the iron mine dug out of the mine was pulled to the coal mine for smelting with mule carriages.

In the past, when there was enough manpower, the two blast furnaces could produce about 5,000 kilograms of iron every day. In the past two years, the government came to the mine to recruit soldiers and had to leave hundreds of absenteeism. Now the iron production of the two furnaces is less than 3,000 kilograms.

Although Meng Guiming said that there was no clan member in the mine, Qin Chuan suspected that there were people from the Meng family there, at least a manager and some guards were there, otherwise who would take care of the mine for hundreds of people?

Qin Chuan asked Luo Daniu to take action and took Song Zhiting and ten men to the mine, telling the people there that although the Meng family was terrible, Mr. Meng was still there, and dozens of guards were there, so he would never lose money or delay his wages or food.

First, calm down those absenteeism, so as not to absent from work or resign or disperse. Take advantage of the situation and recruit people to come back as a guardian, and then call back the manager and guardian there, keep what can be used, and the unused ones will be dropped.

Qin Chuan attaches great importance to that iron ore. As long as he finds some blacksmiths, he can build what he wants. It is best to get a few foreigners to build guns and cannons.

When his subordinates started to be busy, Qin Chuan took two of his subordinates to wander around the village to see if there were any people who had survived or the property that Bashanhu had missed.

This place has become his territory, so I have to sort it out first.

There were many people who survived, including injured guards and bandits, and shrill wails could be heard everywhere in the village.

For those who are seriously injured or have a higher risk of infection, Qin Chuan helped them end their suffering and stabbed the knife into other people's hearts.

But he still did not hesitate that he was not an otaku in the 21st century, but a bandit leader in a chaotic era.

Being a bandit requires ruthlessness.

For those with mild injuries, Qin Chuan asked them to walk downstairs by themselves, where they had freshly cooked yellow rice porridge and warm hot water. Only those who could walk there had a chance to survive.

Qin Chuan helped the surviving Meng family members to relieve them regardless of their injuries.

But there are a few exceptions, and there are a few women, including the maids of the Meng family and the members of the Meng family. They were all tortured by the bandits to death. The bandits thought they were dead, so they threw them in place until they woke up just now.

Qin Chuan couldn't do anything about the crying women, so he had to let them stay in a room closer to the gatehouse, not take a step, nor did the old bandits who were hungry as wolves and tigers in Jiuji Mountain go in.

The Meng family's money and grain were basically robbed. It is estimated that some gold and silver were buried under the ground in some houses, but Qin Chuan had no time and no one was going to dig it.

Large items and some antique ornaments are still there. The bandits are not interested in those things, and they only smashed some bottles, bottles, jars, etc. The tables, chairs, and beds are basically there, but there are almost no bedding, clothes and cloth, and there are not many pots, pans and pans left.

The inner courtyard of the Meng family is a cave, and most of it is a brick house. When Qin Chuan walked in, he saw some women's bodies hanging on the beams of several houses. It was probably a woman who was unwilling to become a thief and hanged herself when the village was broken.

Qin Chuan asked someone to bring Meng Guiming over, and he found the main house of the head of the family and entered Meng Guiming's bedroom.

I have to say that the landlord is a rich man. Although the bedroom was chaotic and even the floor was paved a lot, it can still be seen that it was originally luxurious. All the furniture is made of precious mahogany, carved, inlaid with gold and silver, and can be easily carried to a type that can be developed in modern times.

Meng Guiming came and went to clean up his messy houses with a sad face.

Qin Chuan said lightly: "Master Meng, don't clean up first, take out the land deeds of the Meng family."

Meng Guiming's body froze slightly, pulled his head and pointed to a corner of the house, saying, "The boss, the land deed was originally hidden there, and perhaps it has been taken away by the thieves."

Qin Chuan didn't say anything, walked to the corner of the house and looked over, then used a knife to flip through the pile of new mud.

Not long after, Qin Chuan stood up and sneered at Meng Guiming: "Master Meng, do you think I am a pig?"

"Big boss, little old man..."

Meng Guiming was about to defend himself, but after seeing Qin Chuan's cold gaze, he could no longer speak.

"Master Meng Zhuang, in the Heishan Mine, those who are loyal to your Meng family can count a slap. If you still expect them to save you, you would be a little stupid."

"I have helped you avenge your family, but now you are going to go back on your word, so don't blame me for being rude."

As he said that, Qin Chuan winked at his subordinates: "Go and cut off the guy who passed on his family line."

"Okay."

The old bandit in Jiujishan walked towards the knife and smiled grimly towards Meng Guiming.

Meng Guiming was sweating coldly and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Good boss, please spare me, I'll take it, I'll take it..."

"Then stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
