Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 147 Paying back the money and the arrival of the displaced farmers

Chapter 147 Paying back the money and the arrival of the displaced farmers
After leaving the prison, Qin Feng walked back to the yamen, thinking all the way.

The magistrate will send someone to protect him, it is simply incomprehensible.

Jiawu was killed by his own hands, and Jiawu and the magistrate are distant relatives. Based on this alone, there should be a hostile relationship between him and the magistrate.

The enemy didn't come to plot against you, but instead sent someone to protect you secretly?What kind of trick is this?
This is unreasonable!

It can only be said that there are other reasons besides the magistrate.

This is outrageous enough, I never thought that the First Prince would be involved.

Could it be that the eldest prince ordered the magistrate to protect Qin Feng?
He Qin Feng, what virtue and what can he do?
After thinking about it, no matter whether it is after his time travel or the memory of the original owner, it has nothing to do with the First Prince.

In terms of emotion and reason, the eldest prince should not be interested in a seventh-rank sesame official in a remote county.

The prince is not an ordinary person, and a place like the palace is not an ordinary place either.

Qin Feng knows the imperial palace very well.

Although most of the understanding comes from Gongdou dramas and Gongdou movies.

But art is the epitome of reality, and history has also recorded many power struggles in the palace, which are more exciting than novels and movies.

The eldest prince living in that kind of place doesn't have any sense of crisis at all, and still has the leisure to focus on such a small county magistrate like himself?
This is also unreasonable!

But Qin Feng is almost sure that he must have something to do with the eldest prince at this time.

Because when the eunuch came to deliver the decree that day, he specifically mentioned the eldest prince. The imperial decree was issued by the emperor. There must be a reason for him to specifically mention the eldest prince!

Then why did the eldest prince pay attention to himself?

Qin Feng couldn't figure it out.

After thinking all the way to no avail, Qin Feng simply left the matter behind.

He still has a lot to do.

Last year, in order to pay the grain tax, he bought grain on a large scale and issued IOUs to the farmers. Now it's time to give them the money.

Coincidentally, the recipe for selling roast duck got 2 taels of silver. Qin Feng decided to return the village first, and by the way, tell the farmers about changing places for farming in the spring of this year.

He wants the farmers in Ninghai County to get rid of poverty in one fell swoop!
Only when the people's lives are prosperous can the society be stable.

"Zhao Yi!"

Qin Feng walked into the Yamen and yelled.

"The little guy is here!"

Zhao Yi rushed over immediately.

"Go, call the leaders of the streets in Ninghai County."

"Yes!"

Previously, farmers were asked to raise ducks. In order to facilitate the assignment of tasks, Qin Feng divided Ninghai County into different areas, named "streets", and asked them to elect a leader for each area to facilitate contact with the Yamen.

Although the ducks have been collected now, the division of the streets is still there, and those leaders are still recorded in the book.

Zhao Yi immediately retreated and ran around with a few government servants, and after about half an hour, he called all the farmers over.

"I'm waiting to meet the county magistrate!"

"No gift, no gift!"

Qin Feng waved his hand, called them to get up, and said to everyone: "During the autumn harvest last year, I owed a lot of money to the farmers, and I will start to pay back today. You arrange according to the direction from east to west and from north to south. In order, go back and inform the farmers to come and get the IOUs written by the official last year, and come to collect the money."

"The officer only recognizes the IOU but not the person, and told them to take care of their own piece of paper, do you hear me?"

The farmers showed joy and kowtowed one after another: "I'll hear it later."

Afterwards, they began to sort quickly, and according to Qin Feng's request, they set the days when the farmers in their respective areas came to collect the money, and then went back to spread the word.

As soon as the news came out, Ninghai County suddenly became lively.

Those who actively sold grain last year were extremely excited.

However, most of them were those who were afraid of Qin Feng cheating people and did not dare to sell last year, or those who wanted to sell grain but failed to catch up, and could only watch other farmers with envy to collect money.

Seeing the vain money from one family to another, these people feel so sad.

Just as the money was being distributed, Wang Long came running all the way outside.

"My lord! It's not good! It's not good!"

Qin Feng frowned, tore up an IOU that he had just received on the spot, and asked, "What's wrong? I'm in a panic, what's the proper way? If you have something to say, can the sky still fall?"

Wang Long shrank his neck, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My lord. Outside, there are many refugees from other provinces, scrambling to enter the city. crops, rushed into the field to grab food, and fought with the farmers in our county! There are so many of them, and several people in Ninghai County were injured!"

"No reason!"

Qin Feng was furious when he heard that, the refugees from other provinces dared to grab food and beat people on his territory?Simply presumptuous!
"Wang Long! Quickly notify all the officials to leave the city, and bring the horse over for the officer!"

"Yes!"

Wang Lung hurried down.

Qin Feng asked the accountant who was distributing the money to check it carefully, and pay the money after checking the IOU.

When Wang Lung got his horse, he immediately rode out of the city to the place of the conflict.

He heard Wang Long say that there were many refugees, but he didn't really have any definition of "many" in his mind, thinking that there were only a dozen or dozens.

But the situation at the scene shocked him. There were at least hundreds of refugees outside. Some were clamoring at the city gate to enter the city, and more were outside the city, lying on the ground looking for food.

"Go, why are there so many people?"

Qin Feng reined in his fast horse and looked at the darkness around him. These refugees were more terrifying than locust plagues.

Seeing Qin Feng coming, several farmers in Ninghai County immediately came up to greet him, knelt on the ground and cried.

"My lord! You have to decide for me! The villain's family was seriously ill, and the grain harvest in the field was a few days late. Unexpectedly, all these refugees were robbed and eaten. The villain went up to stop him and told them to beat him up." !"

"me too!"

"And the crops in my field have been ruined by these people for several acres!"

Qin Feng glanced at them, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, get up! I will make decisions for you!"

"Wang Long, Zhao Yi, Sun Dabao! Each of you bring five yamen servants, and follow these farmers to identify them, and arrest those who beat people first!"

"Yes!"

The three responded and divided into three teams. The farmers also got up and walked into the crowd of refugees according to the instructions.

"He was the one who beat people! The villain's head was smashed by him!"

"And him!"

The farmers pointed to a few people who were devouring raw food and said.

Several yamen servants spotted the people, and immediately rushed forward, pinned them down, and tied them up.

Qin Feng rode forward, held his whip high, pointed at these refugees and asked, "Where did you come from? Why did you come to my Ninghai County to make trouble? Tell me!"
