"The storehouse is empty. All the storehouses are empty." Li Feng and the others arrived at the county government office.
The door of the county government office was wide open. It was empty inside. The tables, chairs, and doors were all gone.
They looked at the storehouse. The door was still there, but it was rotten. The silk and food inside were gone.
However, no one touched the room with the accounts and records. They probably thought that the things inside were worthless.
Looking at the traces of the door lock and the dust on the door, they knew that no one had entered this room for a long time.
It meant that the entire Zaiyuan County didn't need accounts. Everything was under the control of the Yan family.
"There probably aren't any records. The Yan family bullied the local people. It doesn't matter whether there are records or not." Li Feng was sad and angry.
How did the people live in Zaiyuan County?
How could the Huang family of Provincial Governor Huang An not know? The Emperor was far away.
"Zaiyuan County isn't registered. There are only 13 registered counties in Guangzhou." The villager understood the reason.
If it wasn't registered, the Imperial Court wouldn't check it. The local people wouldn't record it.
When it was time to collect rent, they would collect it from Zaiyuan County. The rent collected would be paid for 20 days a year. The benefits would be divided among everyone.
The people in the county didn't know about it. They thought that they had given something to the Imperial Court.
They thought that the county was supposed to pay for the land, but they were asked to find a way to get it. They thought that they had given it to the Emperor.
"There should be many similar places in the Tang dynasty. If the world is in turmoil, the people will know about it. With someone leading the way, how can they not rebel?"
Li Feng clenched his fist and slowly loosened it.
He smiled. "Everyone, we are officials now. Let the world see the abilities of the Li Family Zhuangzi and their slaves. Even if we only stay here for a few months, we will develop Zaiyuan County."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. The others formed a circle and put their hands together.
They looked at each other and shouted. "There are no difficulties in the world. Take the stars and the moon, Baishui Army! "
"Okay, let's not care about the past. From now on, we will revive Zaiyuan County. Come on! Check the accounts! "
Li Feng said as he stepped to the side. The Winged Knights behind him came up and kicked the door.
With a clang, the door opened. The lock was not opened, hanging alone on the door pin.
Everyone went in and took out the account books that had been there for who knew how long. They lit the lamps and began to organize them.
As long as there were accounts, even if they were from a few years ago, they believed that they could find the problem.
The Yan family had existed for a long time. If they found a mistake, they could arrest them.
Once they caught the person and interrogated him, they would definitely be able to find something new and record it again.
The Winged Knights helped to draw the forms and input the data.
The sky brightened again. Li Feng and the others did not rest and continued to tidy up. They were all in a state of excitement.
The people who woke up in the morning realized that there was someone in the yamen. The Li Family Zhuangzi from yesterday? A new county magistrate?
"Grandfather, grandfather, there's someone at the county yamen. There's someone standing at the door with a stick and a knife at his waist." Old Man Chen's eldest grandson ran into the house and shouted.
Old Man Chen slept well last night. His fourth son was going to have a wife.
The girl was a year older than him. It was fine. Rumors were not a problem. He knew the inside story.
The girl's father was sick in the past. The girl went up the mountain to look for things to sell.
One day, she came back with her clothes in tatters. At that time, someone said that there were bandits in the mountain and thought that the girl was bullied.
In reality, the girl came back with her clothes in disarray and immediately brought her family into the mountain. They carried out a big wild boar.
The girl hunted a big wild boar by herself. The wild boar chased her and she climbed up a tree. The wild boar hit the tree and stabbed its tusk into the tree.
The girl picked up the tree and stabbed it with a fork. The wild boar died just like that.
Others did not know that they liked to put unrelated things together.
In reality, even if she met bandits and was bullied, what could she do?
The girl went into the mountain to save her father. Other people's gossip was hurtful.
Old Man Chen approved of this girl. She was beautiful. When she gave birth to children in the future, whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be good-looking.
When his eldest grandson shouted, he woke up and looked at his wife sitting in front of the window.
His wife was holding a small garment in her hand and looking at it with a smile.
"You're not asleep yet?" The old man felt sorry for his wife.
"That girl is not bad. I'll send her over today. She's our daughter-in-law. We can't let others take advantage of her." The old lady was happy.
In one night, she destroyed her fourth son's somewhat tattered clothes and changed them into a small garment.
She used to think about that girl. If others did not want her, she would like her.
But the girl was beautiful. She was afraid that she could not afford the betrothal gift money. She was even more worried that she would not like her children.
Since they liked each other, she quickly made clothes for them. They could talk about the future in the future. It would be best if the two of them did something at night in the shack.
"You're too good to your daughter-in-law. You're all unfilial." The old man shouted.
"Father, the meal is ready." The eldest daughter-in-law's voice immediately sounded.
"Father, Gangzi went to work. I cooked three goose eggs. I left one for you and mother, one for the child, and I want to send the other one to Gangzi." The second daughter-in-law said.
"Father, I'm pregnant. I can't do heavy work. Don't be picky." The third daughter-in-law was reasonable.
"Don't listen to this old man. He's spoiled. Third wife, take care of the baby." The old lady said.
"Understood, mother." The three women's voices sounded at the same time. Then, they laughed and disappeared.
"I have to go and take a look. They're coming. The Yan family's people might cause trouble."
Old Man Chen enjoyed the treatment of an elder and felt the viciousness of his wife. He was worried about the yamen. He put on his shoes and clothes and hurried to the yamen.
When he arrived, many people from the county came over.
Some carried baskets with steamed rice balls in them. There were also boiled duck and goose eggs.
There was a lot of water here. It was suitable for raising ducks and geese. When it was eaten, it was boiled. It was indeed smellier than eggs, but they could not be pickled.
Old Man Chen looked around. There were no people from the Yan family. No, there were. There were a few people hiding in the distance and looking around.
The door of the prison opened. A group of people walked out in a daze.
"His Majesty has pardoned the world. Since you were not hanged or beheaded, you are among the pardoned. Go, go home. In the future … wait and see."
Li Feng had checked the case. As long as most of the people were harmed, they were locked up.
The other few crimes were not serious. His Majesty had pardoned them, but not here.
The entire prison was emptied. Li Feng personally went to the notice wall outside and posted a notice. It was a letter he wrote to persuade the people.
Some people couldn't write when Li Longji was taking the county magistrate exam. As a slave of the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Feng could write.
Of course, what he wrote was not literary. If Li Yi wrote it at this time, he also couldn't write.
When he wrote a poem, the people couldn't understand it, let alone read it.
Some of the people found their relatives who were released and cried together. Some stood in front of the notice and waited for the literate to read it.
The Tang dynasty was like this. When the government posted a notice, a group of people who were illiterate would watch and wait.
