Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Liu Laifu shouted, "Come here, lock up the You family bandits in the dungeon."

"Yes!" The detectives received the order and dragged the You family away like wolves and tigers.

Jiang Xiao shouted again: "Pour water into the dungeon until it reaches the prisoners' necks."

"Yes!" Several jailers bowed and left in response to the order.

~~

Chen Biao explained to the indignant villagers: "My fellow villagers, Lord Shi will definitely give you justice. Upon hearing that his parents, wife and children were arrested, the bandit leader of the Iron Palm Gang, Youleyuan and others will definitely come to Fucheng again to cause trouble and smash and loot.

Therefore, the city gates will be temporarily closed for two days. I hope you can understand that this is to ensure the safety of the residents in the city. Therefore, Lord Shi just instructed the clerk to make it clear now that the government office will subsidize all merchants in the city with 100 taels of silver every day.

If a big merchant suffered a big loss because he could not do business within two days, he could consult with the prefectural magistrate Liu Cong to apply for a subsidy from the prefectural government. After three days, the prefectural government would give ten kilograms of pork to every household in the city.

After returning home, everyone cleaned up the sanitation in front of their own house. Those who kept good sanitation would be rewarded with an extra ten kilograms of pork by the government. If any house was damaged, they should repair it as soon as possible, either by themselves or by hiring craftsmen.

Lord Shi loves the people like his own children and will never let the people in the city suffer the losses caused by closing the city gates."

~~

Chen Biao speaks so boldly and with so much pride, he is not bragging, right?

will not!

With the existing financial resources of the Fucheng government, there is absolutely no problem in spending this amount of money.

Moreover, it was indeed Shi Tianyu who instructed Chen Biao to announce it.

First, of the 470,000 taels of silver that were previously confiscated from Wang Chao's mansion, in addition to the 200,000 taels of silver allocated to Dai Yutian, who took him to Jiangchuan County to take office and implement the "three first things a new official does", there were still more than 200,000 taels of silver left in the government treasury.

Second, yesterday Zhuo Shicai and other wealthy merchants saw Shi Tianyu spend a lot of money to comfort the families of the injured and dead policemen, and donated more than 200,000 taels of silver to the government office. Third, this time Qian Youyu and other wealthy merchants sponsored Dai Yutian, and Dai Yutian left more than 200,000 taels of silver for Liu Conghong.

Therefore, there are now more than 600,000 taels of silver in the government treasury.

~~

Shi Tianyu’s philosophy is that if you have money, you should spend it; money not spent is just junk.

According to Shi Tianyu's consistent thinking and style, money should be spent on people's hearts and on handling practical matters related to people's livelihood.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan and Xu Li would have asked the Fucheng government to send the money to the Qiansui Temple Construction Bureau in Chengdu.

Rather than asking Xu Li to do a favor and build the Qiansui Temple, Shi Tianyu might as well do it himself. It is most worthwhile to spend money on the people's hearts.

This is also the smartest thing about Shi Tianyu.

~~

"it is good!"

"Master Shi is indeed a good and honest official who loves his people like his own children!"

"We Fucheng people are so lucky to have a good prefect like Lord Shi."

"Let's go! Go home and clean up, and wait for the pork!"

"Haha, there's meat to eat again! That's great!"

Suddenly, countless villagers cheered and praised Shi Tianyu loudly.

The crowd dispersed, everyone went back to their homes, each to their mothers, and waited for the government to give them money.

~~

Tang Meiling understood in her heart: it turned out that the people who were captured were the parents, wives and children of the brothers in the amusement park. No wonder they didn’t look like people from the martial arts world.

Then, Tang Meiling walked into the inner hall and sat next to Shi Tianyu, but saw Shi Tianyu eating breakfast, with An Yinqi and his wife serving him.

Shi Tianyu was indeed hungry, as he hadn't eaten the whole day yesterday.

~~

At this time, seeing Tang Meiling sitting next to him, Shi Tianyu turned his head and said to Tang Meiling: "My wife, you can discuss the matter of revenge with Liu Laifu and Jiang Xiao. The parents, wives and children of the You brothers must be beheaded and displayed to the public, regardless of gender, age or status, no one will be spared alive. I have always emphasized this sentence, if the evil bandits kill one of us, they must pay with the lives of thousands or tens of thousands of people. All the bandits, including their families, are not human beings. Only by killing them can we calm the people's hearts.

However, you guys decide how to cut it.

Anyway, we want them to die. We want to kill them so that no one in the martial arts world will dare to come to Fucheng to smash, loot and rob.

Otherwise, the bandit problem will not be eliminated and the people will not be at peace.

If the people cannot live a good life, will they still support us?

Can your Yao family still make a lot of money? What about Zhuo Shibo and the others? "

After saying that, he started to eat voraciously again.

~~

Tang Meiling nodded and said, "It's a bit cruel, but it's the only way. Otherwise, merchants won't be able to do business! My father and others followed you to Fucheng in order to make a lot of money. If the people are uneasy, how can we make money?"

Mr. and Mrs. An Yinqi hurried to make tea.

Shi Tianyu picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it into Tang Meiling's cherry mouth.

Tang Meiling smiled sweetly and opened her mouth to bite.

The two were very affectionate and their hearts were filled with happiness.

Chen Biao walked into the inner hall and bowed, saying, "Master Shi, the Iron Palm Gang has a lot of members, and we have to prevent them from attacking the city! Moreover, the Iron Palm Gang has long been in collusion with the remnants of the Mahayana Sect, so they should be equipped with siege vehicles, catapults, fire-throwing weapons, etc. Master Shi, take a look, do you want to allocate some red cannons to us?"

~~

Shi Tianyu nodded and said, "I have no right to mobilize the garrison. You have to organize the government officials, the constables and the people in the city to guard the city walls in batches. When the bandits from the amusement park arrive, you should immediately have the constables prepare to shoot with bows and arrows, and the people beat gongs and drums. Liu Laifu threatened their parents, wives and children, so the amusement park would not dare to use force or attack the city.

So, you can do your job without hesitation. I don't need to give you red cannons. Since the evil bandits of the Iron Palm Gang don't dare to attack the city by force, we don't need to use red cannons. Otherwise, the whole world will be shaken, and I won't be able to report to the court.

Otherwise, where would so many red cannons come from? "

~~

"Yes!" Chen Biao bowed and took the order and went out.

Tang Meiling was shocked, and then she remembered that a few times before, some martial artists came to Fucheng to smash the Qiansui Temple, and the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion used red cannons. Afterwards, those red cannons disappeared.

This shows that all the red cannons were hidden by Shi Tianyu.

Well! We need to get some red cannons from Shi Tianyu.

Now, the Ming army’s artillery fire is more intense than that of our Great Jin Kingdom!

~~

Tang Meiling thought about it, and then turned her head to look at Shi Tianyu tenderly, kissed Shi Tianyu, and whispered: "Husband, let's move out a few red cannons to defend the city. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I can't defend Fucheng.

The Iron Palm Gang's bandits are extremely vicious, they are not human at all, they are extremely vicious, and we must use the Red Cannon to deal with them."

She hoped that Shi Tianyu could send people to move out those red cannons. After defeating the Iron Palm Gang, Tang Meiling was confident that she could command people to secretly move those red cannons away and then transport them to Liaodong for the Jin soldiers to use.

Just act coquettishly towards Shi Tianyu.

~~

However, Shi Tianyu shook his head and said, "Those red cannons were originally borrowed from Taoist Master Qi Shi of Baishi Island. Taoist Master Qi Shi had to guard against attacks from Fuso warriors on the island, so it was impossible for him to lend me the red cannons frequently."
