Last time Liu He reorganized the Liao army and sent troops to the county, Zhao Chang went to see the head of the Zhao family and told the head in advance that Liu He would recruit grain and recruit soldiers in the future. This time he went again, but he was worried that the head of the Zhao family would offend Liu He because of a pity for grain and grain.

When he arrived at the home of Zhao Song, the head of the Zhao family, he was straightforward and said, "In order to ensure the plan of Shanggu, the emperor of the palace followed Du Liao in everything. Although the country is humble and strong, he was actually strong inside. When he recovered Yuyang Yaoyang County, he had killed the powerful Gao Bi clan in the village. There were many people in Yuyang County who regarded him as cruel officials. Now he wanted to attack Hu to recover Shanggu's old county. This is indeed a matter of benefiting the country and the people. Since the emperor of the palace followed Du Liao, my family is the Guan clan of Guangning, and the county surname is the surname, so I can only obey in this matter. The clan father should hand over the grains he had applied to the general's mansion as soon as possible."

Liu He is strong inside, and Chen Ying will not object to his recruitment of grain. Attacking Hufu County is indeed a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Raising grain is not a life-threatening situation. Adding several aspects together, even if the Zhao family is not willing to provide grain, they can only accept it.

On the third day after Tian Feng issued the order to recruit grain, Ning and Zhao successively took grain and grain as many times.

The Ning family did not dare to fight against the government because they were just a small powerful man; the Zhao family was persuaded by Zhao Chang, and other gentry members did not have such easy food for other powerful men.

Tian Feng waited for two more days, and only a few families were scattered with the Ning family and the Zhao family and handed over grain and grain. None of the powerful families such as the Cheng family and the Han family came to pay for it.

Liu Bei was worried and rubbed his hands around the hall.

Liu He was reviewing the military texts handed over by Hu He. One is that the injuries of the seriously injured are gradually getting better. The other is that after the reorganization and expansion, the materials for daily training were depreciated and some arrows, armor, and swords and swords were depreciated. They need to be replenished as soon as possible.

It is a good thing that the serious injury of the seriously injured person has gradually improved. All the serious injuries have been cured by craftsmen. Liu He was considering whether to start the medical school. It is not difficult to replenish the armor. The county government has a Hyogo and wrote that the official document was presented to Chen Ying. Liu He ordered Gongsun Du, who was sitting next to him, to be responsible for drafting the official document for Chen Yingchuan. He raised his head and saw Liu Bei turning around.

He asked with a smile: "Xuande, why are you worried about?"

"Ming Gong, the order to recruit grain has been on the order for five days, but few families have come to pay the grain!"

"Didn't Ning's family, Zhao's family and other families have paid the food as much as possible?"

"Although the Ning family and Zhao family are the Guan family of Guangning, their family does not have much land, which is far less than the Cheng family and Han family. The grains and grains they have paid are less than three thousand people per month. What's the use of?"

There is a difference between the gentry and the powerful. Many gentry did not accumulate land and wealth for the sake of the reputation of the family. For example, Liu He's own family, Liu Yu's name is well-known in the country, but there is not much wealth in the family. For example, Xun Yu, Yingchuan, Xun family, since Xun Shu's generation, he would allocate it to relatives, friends, Ning family, and Zhao family whenever their family property increased, although they were not as noble as Liu He and Xun Yu's family, they did not have much land in the family.

To say that the real big family with fields and grain in Shanggu is a powerful man like Cheng family and Han family. The Han family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and the Cheng family also has dozens of hectares of land.

A hundred hectares are tens of millions of mu, and one acre of Qin and Han dynasties is equivalent to 460 square meters. In the year of good harvest, except for the guests, the Han family can obtain tens of thousands of stones of grain in a year, which is enough to support 3,000 soldiers for half a year. Although there is no grain harvest this year, many of the grain stored in previous years have been sold, but there are still a lot of existing grain stored in the Han family. Tian Feng calculated that if one fifth of the grain was raised, the grain paid by the Han family would be enough for 3,000 soldiers and two months of food. The Liao army had 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and the support of more powerful families could alleviate the current food shortage.

How could the Han family be willing to hand over such a large amount of grain and grain honestly?

Liu Bei said: "If it were the Cheng family, the Han family would not be willing to hand over it?"

Liu He seemed not worried about this and smiled and said, "Let's see if the chief clerk is the way."

Tian Feng studied Legalism in his early years, and later became a censor to supervise the law and discipline, so his methods naturally started with the law: collecting illegal things from various schools.

The reason for using this method is that it is self-evident: if there is military force, there is power, and if there is power, there is an official. If a person has power in his hands, he will be the most convenient and quickest to start from the law, and will not be caught.

Any powerful clan must have illegal acts. Yinyuan Wuwei was not a good meal. Dou Qingxiao conducted a survey of the powerful men in this county according to Liu He's intention, and also heard a lot of illegal acts that the children of their clan had done before. With just some effort, they could collect enough evidence.

He waited for two days, and on the morning of the sixth day, he sent the officials to summon parents of major families in the county to the general's mansion, but Cheng and Han did not summon them.

Less than three months after Liu He entered Shanggu, he successively attacked and destroyed the Tituo and defeated the Xianbei. Although the heads of the family surnames were relied on Han and did not pay grain, they pretended to be confused and were willing to pay grain, but after being summoned by Tian Feng, they did not dare to come.

More than a dozen families of powerful families, including the gentry, came in a steady stream of parents, entered the general's mansion, went to the chief clerk's house, sat opposite him in the hall, and waited for Tian Feng.

After the families arrived, they waited for a long time. Tian Feng appeared at noon. He walked into the hall with his sword and strode through the heads of the families opposite to each other. With their eyes, they walked straight to the table and picked up a bamboo slip placed on the table in advance. After not sitting or entering the table, they turned around in front of the table, facing the heads of the families, and Zhan Jian read it.

His voice was already loud, like the sound of metal and stone. At this time, it echoed in the hall and fell into the ears of everyone, and it was like a bell and drum roaring. He was reading the illegal things that one of the heads of the families here had committed in the past. After reading, he did not look at the people, but turned over a page of bamboo slips and then read it down. However, it was the illegal ritual of another patriarch present. After reading it, he raised his eyes and said concisely: "Receive and send him to prison!"

Liu Xiu was outside the hall at some point and immediately brought the soldiers in, immediately detained the two clan leaders and took them back to the county prison.

Everyone present in the hall was shocked.

Tian Feng looked around the rest of the people, raised the bamboo slips in his right hand, and said, "There are more than fifty pieces of bamboo slips in this volume. I have just read only one tenth of them. Although I have not read the rest, the officials should also know what it is and know what it is!"

Everyone here looked at each other, some sweating like slurry, some were angry, some were at a loss, and some were shocked and doubtful.

One person raised his courage and said, "Although you are the chief clerk of the military office, you are also from Beizhou, and we are also from Beizhou, why bother with each other?"

Tian Feng pressed his sword and waved his sleeves, shouting, "What I have fryed is a thief! Please come back, and I will summon you to see you tomorrow." After saying that, he ignored the different expressions of the people present, and did not give everyone present a chance to speak. He took the bamboo slip and left without caring about it.

That afternoon, there were screams of torture and screams in the county prison.

The clan leaders of the surnames all have connections in the county prison. After finding out this news, they are all afraid. Many people scold Tian Feng, and Han Sheng is one of them.

Although Han Sheng was not among the summoned by Tian Feng today, he was well-informed. He heard about this at noon. After finding out that the two clan leaders who were arrested were tortured by Liu Xiu, he immediately cursed: "Tian Feng's dog thief is determined to be a hawk in the valley for Xuzhou!"

He immediately asked his sons to go to the homes of parents of Zhu surnames to encourage them.

Unfortunately, the head of the family surnamed Zhu was scared by Tian Feng's decisive actions and his decisive actions, and he had no courage to resist Liu He. Even Han Sheng's sons could not recover the situation even if they were the sons of Han Sheng.

The next day, the heads of the family surnamed who were summoned by Tian Feng to the General's Mansion yesterday all led slaves to drive the food to the official warehouse.

The head of the Mo family, another great genius in Guangning County, was like the Cheng family and Han family. They were not summoned by Tian Feng to meet each other, but they did not dare to delay any further and honestly handed over the food.

At this point, the families in the county still had no food to pay, only the Cheng family and the Han family were left.

Cheng waited for a long time, and before afternoon, news came out of the county jail that the two family heads arrested and imprisoned were tortured and killed in the prison. The leader of the Cheng family was shocked. Then he heard that Tian Feng sent Liu Xiu to the homes of the two parents, and announced that their children and clan members had committed crimes, and they were also imprisoned. The property of the two families was confiscated. All the grain and wealth were included in the official position - this was simply a cruel method. The head of Cheng family was timid and did not dare to take it anymore. In the afternoon, he sent slaves to bring in carts to offer grain.

When he learned that Cheng had given up and offered grain, Tian Fengjin met Liu He and said to him, "Except Han, all the rest of the families have borrowed grain."

——Liu He had to say that he could not take it for nothing. The name he used was "borrowing". Although everyone knew it well, if he had "borrowing", he would probably not "repay". At least during Liu He's tenure, he would not think that he would repay the grain.
