Gao Qifeng is still very smart in finance.

He was transferred to Suining as the magistrate, and he also wanted to do something.

For example, in the city wall of Suining County, in the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the Yellow River overflowed at Xin'ankou, and the flood surging, rushing away the city walls of the county town, and all the officials and houses were swallowed up by the flood. This phenomenon continued until Gao Qifeng was transferred to serve as the magistrate.

After taking office, he tried every means to rebuild the walls of Suining City and built a dike outside, ending the ten-year history of Suining City without a wall, and the county's people were virtuous.

Gao Qifeng also wanted to repair the streets in the city, such as the bluestone avenue on several main streets, but was given up because of the lack of money and food.

Gao Qifeng was resentful and was sensitive to external money.

As he knew, the yamen who were captured and killed were probably quite rich, especially Xia Shiyin, Xun Tianzheng and other heads of the captains. They accumulated from generation to generation, and the family's wealth was probably more than 10,000 taels.

This is a terrifying number. If measured by the price of rice, ten thousand taels of silver will be worth at least five million in later generations, and twenty thousand taels are ten million.

There are also the fast-track constables, and ordinary constables, it is normal for them to have a thousand taels of money in their family, and they can make money, even a few thousand taels.

There are also those who cheat, fight, domineering for many years, and robbing them with cleverness, and they all accumulate wealth.

If the house is confiscated like this, even if Yang He says, reward the righteous people, compensate the miser, pursue the abducted children, and allocate funds to raise the house for maintenance, there will probably be tens of thousands of taels of silver as a result of various savings.

As for the Yang He mentioned the Jiayuan, it was widely established in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. There was a county that adopted widowed, widowed, orphans and beggars. There were also welfare charities such as fertile halls, Anjifang, Jujiayuan, Futianyuan, and Luzeyuan.

Their treatment mainly depends on the financial resources of various places. During the prosperous times, some maids could even eat white rice. They usually gave two meals a day, utensils, firewood, vegetables, etc., and the sick were assigned to treat the disease, and the deceased were given a coffin.

Many health centers are huge in scale, such as the Wanping Yangshengyuan. In the first year of Wanli, they adopted widows, widows, orphans, and alone, and were disabled, and in the tenth year of Wanli, they reached 2,800.

This was the benevolent government of ancient times, but in the end of the dynasty, many yang houses were abandoned, just like the Ming Dynasty's cities, and they were famous for their tidyness and garden cities, but now they have become dirty and messy because they have lost their financial resources.

The urban and rural residents fled, and those who were originally able to sell money were specially purchased from house to house, and no one took away the feces of livestock, so they became tidy and untidy.

Yangjiyuan is a benevolent government, and has always been praised by the gentry and the people. He pursues abducted children thousands of miles away, and can be passed down as a good story. Not to mention unofficial history, he can leave a mark in history.

Gao Qifeng's heart became hot. Which scholar is not good at fame?

And if you have money in your hands, it will be easier to do things. You will repair the roads in the city and lay them with bluestone slabs. Even if Gao Qifeng is transferred away from him in the future, the people will think of him, miss him, and praise him when they walk on the bluestone slab road.

A literati is a good name, so why don’t you think of this?

Thinking of this, Gao Qifeng said: "I am unshirkable to pursue the abducted children. The yameni decided to pursue the general office, and I personally served as the general office. For the sake of your position, you will find some capable gentry as a helper. No matter where the children are in the north and south of the Yangtze River, you must find them back and keep them in the yangyuan."

Yang He bowed and said, "The county respects be kind and kind, and the officials admire him."

He said this sentence sincerely.

Gao Qifeng may have many problems, but at least she still has a sense of serving the people and wants to do something practical for the people.

Gao Qifeng also looked at Yang He a little more. He picked up the teacup and pondered for a while, and said, "Wei Kungang is correcting the law. It is not a matter of time before the Ministry of Personnel wants to transfer the history to the Ministry of Personnel. Let's do this, be careful and you will take care of it for the time being. If the county yamen runners are free, you will also draw a list."

Dianshi was appointed by the imperial court, and was always decided by the Ministry of Personnel of the Capital. Gao Qifeng could not interfere in this regard, but Yang He could temporarily take care of it.

After repaying his favor, Yang He gave the county a large amount of money and was free of vacancies. Gao Qifeng also asked Yang He to deal with it.

Although the yamen runners are untouchables, they have always been popular among counties and generally have to be responsible. Each person has to spend at least fifty taels of silver. In many large counties, they even cost one or two hundred taels of silver.

However, even if they entered the yamen, even if they did not lose all their conscience and did not stand up for the green skins, they would normally charge some small money, and they would earn dozens of taels of silver a year. Even if they spent 100 taels of silver, they would not take many years to pay back their capital.

They also eat public meals. Some yamen runners are old and let their descendants take over, which is passed down from generation to generation. It is a very popular profession in various prefectures and counties.

Now the third squad of the county government office is wiped out, half of the number of people in the soap squad are gone, and only one of the eight jailers guarding the county prison is left, with a vacant quota of as many as 60.

Gao Qifeng felt that Yang He had the quota in hand and could definitely make a big profit, which was also the benefit he gave Yang He.

Yang He accepted the order and had a lot of ideas about this. He also wanted to establish a new system in Suining County Government. However, the bandits were urgent and the military law was temporarily marching. I would talk about it after the bandits were in trouble.

The two talked about some details and went to the lobby.

Zhou Mingyuan, county magistrate Liu Zunhe, and chief clerk Zheng Shixin are all waiting.

Liu Zunhe and Zheng Shixin have been in the county yamen. They saw things on the street from beginning to end, and they were particularly scared to know about Dianshi Wei Kungang's beheading.

Zheng Shixin looked at Yang He a little afraid, while Liu Zunhe was even more silent, his eyes evasive.

Gao Qifeng talked about the detailed work of hunting down thieves, and especially talked about the matter of Wei Kungang, a dictionary. He decided to write a letter with General Lian Yang He to discuss the matter separately.

Then he looked at the chief clerk Zheng Shixin. Zheng Shixin was a little hesitant. This matter involved the imperial court's official, so he instinctively wanted to retreat and protect himself.

But under Gao Qifeng and Yang He's eyes, they had to agree to the joint signature with timidity.

Finally, everyone looked at the county magistrate Liu Zunhe.

Liu Zunhe was restless and had no choice but to agree to jointly sign and rank second in official rank.

Gao Qifeng talked about making money, and now even County Magistrate Liu showed an excited expression.

This kind of fine of stolen silver has always been a small treasury in the county. If there is money in the county, no official is unhappy.

Gao Qifeng talked about pursuing the abducted child again. Zheng Zhuan immediately wanted to name him. In order to do it, even County Chief Liu was ready to move and looked eager.

He also wants this reputation, even if he has a name.

Yang He glanced at him. As he knew, Liu Zunhe and Wei Kungang were on the surface, but in fact they had no collusion.

The main reason is that the magistrate Gao Qifeng is too good to take power, and generally the county is in charge, such as the chief clerk in charge of household registration and document processing in the county. As the auxiliary officer of the magistrate, the county magistrate is in charge of warehouses, grain and horses, taxation and other matters.

However, in Suining County, except for the warehouse management, the rest of the matter was arrested by Gao Qifeng. Liu Zunhe became a position but had no power and sat on the bench, and he inevitably had friction with Gaozhi County.

If the emperor takes care of everything, what does the prime minister do?

Without power in his hands, some minor officials dared to show off County Chief Liu. How could Liu Zunhe be willing to do this?

It just so happened that Wei Kungang and the magistrate did not deal with each other, so Liu Zunhe naturally joined him in a group.

After all, this person is from a juren, and has worked as a county magistrate and chief clerk for decades. Yang He believes that he can unite.

He suggested that County Chief Liu also wanted to pursue the one who was responsible for the work. Liu Zunhe was shocked and looked at Yang He with a little grateful look.

Gao Qifeng was a little reluctant, but she couldn't refute Yang He's face, so she let Liu Zunhe take the lead.

Thinking about the fact that Inspection Commissioner Deng had a good relationship with him, Yang He also proposed that Inspection Commissioner Deng Sheng be the first to be held. In this way, Suining County pursues the General Office, and the magistrate Gao Qifeng is the general office, Yang He is the general office, Zheng Shixin, Liu Zunhe and Deng Sheng are the first to be held.

Finally, there must be a practical helper, and this matter will be handed over to the famous people in the county, the General Office of the Socialist Army, and the tribute student Zhou Mingyuan.

Zhou Mingyuan stood up solemnly: "The students are obliged to find the abducted children and reunite their families."

Gao Qifeng asked him to take responsibility to Yang He, and Yang He reported to him that the matter was settled.

Yang He pondered that the abducted children were scattered in all directions. With the habits of the officialdom at this time, it is probably very difficult to pursue them. As a gangster, as a gang, there are also backstages to cheat on the Beggars' Sect.

He decided to open the Feiyun Escort Agency as soon as possible, and use the escort agency to cooperate with the pursuit team. At some point, he could use force to pursue.

...

Seventh day, afternoon.

The dark people gathered outside the West Gate, and they all looked at the rogue villain who were crying and begging for mercy to do so with great regret.

Sure enough, retribution came, and someone finally dealt with them.

In particular, the people also heard a heart-warming good news. Mr. Wei, no, the evil Wei Dog thief, was killed on the spot by Lord Yang because he refused to be arrested. Hearing this good news, the people of Suining City were running around to tell him.

Everyone celebrated, and many people even set off festive firecrackers.

At present, the thug villain in Suining City has been almost killed, and the rest have been arrested. The people only feel that the dark clouds on their heads have dissipated and they are in a very relaxed mood.

Many people also made up their minds to set up a tablet of immortality for Lord Yang, who was eliminating the harm to the people, at home, to bless him and his parents to live for a hundred years.

Then the people heard in the afternoon that the remaining arrested ruffians were going to be executed outside the West Gate, and they went to the execution ground to watch the execution, and countless people gathered.

At this time, Yang He's troops stood solemnly, with spears and guns, neatly tidy, full of solemnity and majesty. In the middle, Yang He, the magistrate Gao Qifeng and others stood with a very serious expression. Some gentry and celebrities were also standing by and watching, and many people turned pale.

The yamen runners who escaped from the tiger's mouth also stood aside in a trembling manner, fighting with both sides, and only endured it and did not collapse to the ground.

The victim's crying was completed, one after another, especially the experiences of Sun Sijie and others aroused great sympathy and great resentment towards the scum.

Seeing the public's anger, the villain who was waiting to die was crying desperately, even the officials in the field were shocked and realized what "a little red in the hall and a thousand blood in the people" meant, and they should use the power in their hands carefully.

Then Yang He came out and declared: "...These thieves, the disabled people harming the people, are so difficult to write about! They colluded with thieves, and the crime was unforgivable. I will never let the tragedy of Dongping happen in my Suining! All of them will be executed and executed immediately!"

"Execution!"

Yang He killed more than 200 villains on the spot, and then arrested more than 100 people. They were 20 people in shifts and executed in shifts of six.

At Yang He's order, twenty people were immediately pulled out of the crowd. Whether it was green skin or tolerant, they all forced them to kneel down, kneel straight and kneel in a row.

Then twenty musketeers stepped forward, and a large row of musketeers were laid down, and the black musketeers were only aimed at these scums.

These people were crying and begging, but it was useless.

"put!"

The surging flames spewed out, and the smoke from the musket spread. Bloody mist was emanating from the bodies of the twenty people in front of them, and they rolled to the ground one by one.

Some of them did not die for a moment and screamed loudly, which was extremely miserable and trembling.

"Take someone!"

"put!"

Another row of deafening muskets sounded, with the smell of blood everywhere, and twenty people rolled, and blood flowed like a stream.

"put!"

The sound of guns platoons rang out and waves. No matter officials, civilians and others, everyone looked pale. This kind of execution scene was so shocking.
