"First, the deeds to the fields that Li Mo, Qi San and others searched will be enthroned and returned to the people of the original fields. As for some unowned fields, they can be sold to other people and merchants in the county at appropriate prices!"
Lin Nuo thought for a moment and then made a decision.
At the same time, he raised his hand to wave to Zhao Er and said: "Leave it to you to handle this matter. Put the fertile land into the hands of the people as soon as possible, and don't delay the farming season!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Er accepted the order and then summoned several government servants to follow him to handle the tasks just assigned by the county magistrate.
"Fang Yun, sort out the antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, jade and other items that were confiscated this time, and try to sell them all within this month, and try to exchange them for cash!"
"Zhao Da, please send someone to investigate the origins of the concubines of Li Mo, Qi San and others to see if they have any criminal experience. If there are no major problems, apply for household registration and resettlement for them!"
"Zhou Yan, escort the rest of the cash into the warehouse, and wait until all the data is completely tallied before making the final disposal!"
...
Orders were issued one after another, and everyone left one after another. Only Zhao Da stayed and looked at Lin Nuo with some worry.
"Sir, we have directly executed Qi San and some gangsters without the approval of the Ministry of Punishment. Will those big men in the capital cause trouble for you?"
"It's okay. If you do this in other places, it will definitely be a bit troublesome, but in this Shanyin County, everything is not a problem!"
Lin Nuo waved his hand nonchalantly and didn't take the matter to heart.
Changing the native land and returning it to the local people can be said to be a national policy of Hongzhi in governing the Yunnan-Guizhou region in southwest China. As long as what he does is working hard for this policy, even if he does something outrageous, Hongzhi and all officials will choose
Turn a blind eye.
"Zhao Da, tell me, what should I do with the confiscated wealth this time?"
"Your Excellency, do you want to keep some money?" Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Lin Nuo meant. He hesitated and said, "Your Excellency, are you going to underreport part of the property obtained from the confiscation of the house in the memorial to the court?"
"Well, I do have this plan. Jinyiwei's power in the southwest is still too weak. I want to leave 200,000 taels as funds for the development of Jinyiwei!"
"Sir, it's best not to take this risk!"
Zhao Dagong bowed his body and persuaded: "Sir, if you leave two hundred thousand taels, with the respect that Zhou Yan and Fang Yun have for you, they will naturally not leak this matter, but this time
There are as many as a hundred Jinyi guards who went to search the house, and I guess that among them there may be spies specially arranged by His Majesty!"
"The data you report will be different from the data reported by the secret agent. How do you think His Majesty will view you?"
"Originally, you have meritorious service, but after doing this, you are no longer a good person in His Majesty's heart. This is not worth the gain!"
Lin Nuo nodded. It was true that he had not thought carefully before. A wise man will always make mistakes. What's more, he is just a rookie entering the officialdom, and he is not a wise man. It is still necessary to have a master by his side to make suggestions.
.
It has to be said that the two Zhao brothers are good at digging holes, and as masters, they also have a lot of skills.
"Your Excellency can completely report this wealth truthfully, but in the memorial you can mention the weak situation of the Jin Yiwei in the southwest region. With your contribution this time, Your Majesty, and His Majesty's attention to you, it is very likely that you will issue an edict.
Let you leave a sum of silver to expand the power of Jinyiwei!"
"good!"
Lin Nuo patted Zhao Da on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Li Xiuwen only asked you to be a guard at the beginning. You were really undermining your talents!"
...........
In the days that followed, Lin Nuo, the county magistrate, really had a good time.
General affairs were handled by their own subordinates. As for some previously backlogged cases, they were completed without even spending a day.
For those previous civil complaints, Lin Nuo didn't even need to go to court. Zhao Da and others went down to visit and reconcile, and then they each honestly accepted the settlement.
There is no way, Lin Nuo killed too hard in the past few days, not to mention ordinary people, even the other local chieftains, they all acted honestly during this period, for fear of accidentally offending the county magistrate's brow
, leading to death.
In Shanyin County today, not to mention the gangsters who fight, no one dares to pick up a wallet if it is lost on the street, for fear that they will be regarded as a wallet thief. The scene of hundreds of people that day has already happened.
It left a shadow in the hearts of most people.
Lin Nuo, who had nothing to do, spent his spare time on training. In recent days, his control of marksmanship has become more and more profound, and he is getting closer and closer to the so-called realm of the unity of man and gun.
When he had nothing to do, he would go alone into the mountains in the north of Shanyin County, where there was a majestic waterfall.
Lin Nuo's favorite thing to do was to wave the spear again and again under the waterfall, and draw away the water of the waterfall that was like the Milky Way.
If you look at it from a distance, under the waterfall, Lin Nuo's figure is looming, and water dragons are whipped out by Lin Nuo. The sound is terrifying, just like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss!
call!
On this day, Lin Nuo walked out from under the waterfall, wiped his body, changed into a clean scholar's uniform, carried a dark-colored spear behind him, and walked towards the county seat.
This gun, named "Molong" by Lin Nuo, was made of meteorite iron donated by Zhu Houzhao.
After Lin Nuo ransacked the homes of Li Mo, Qi San and others, Xiu'er took the piece of meteorite iron out for a while and returned half a month later with a spear that was completely black and had no trace of luster.
Lin Nuo was particularly fond of this Molong gun. Apart from handling government affairs in the county government, he would keep this long gun by his side at other times, even when eating and sleeping, to enhance his gun skills anytime and anywhere.
"I've met the magistrate!"
"I've met the magistrate!"
Walking on the streets of the county town, many people would salute with admiration and fear when they saw Lin Nuo.
In this regard, Lin Nuo didn't put on any official airs. He nodded from time to time to say hello to the people around him, and then slowly walked into the backyard of the county government office under the awe of everyone.
"Our Mr. Qingtian is actually a really nice person. As long as we abide by the law, he will never take the initiative to cause trouble for ordinary people like us!" Some people on the roadside said with emotion as they watched Lin Nuo leave.
"That's what I said, but I don't know why, every time I see the magistrate, I feel flustered!"
"Hey, this is called official prestige. You don't understand. Every Jinshi master is a star in the sky and has come down to earth. He carries official prestige with him. Without official prestige, you can't be an official!" A man set up a stall on the roadside.
The fortune-teller 'half-immortal' chuckled.
"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized, and some even nodded and praised, "No wonder the magistrate is different from other scholars. He doesn't like to carry a sword, but likes to carry a gun. I think that when the magistrate was making stars in the sky, he loved guns.
