The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 71 Zhang Xuelong is furious

"Can you please speak further, sir?" the head catcher said.

Zhang Xuelong was slightly startled. He must have discovered something after hearing his words.

He nodded slightly and said, "Then follow me to the back office!"

When the two people came to Houya, Zhang Xuelong said, "Tell me what you discovered!"

"This time, my subordinates went over and took a closer look! They found that the village has changed greatly. I have been to that small village before.

Everyone is too poor to open the pot. "

"But when I went over today to take a look, sir, guess what?"

Zhang Xuelong became a little impatient, "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly so that I can have something to guess."

"After I went there, I found that there were at least hundreds of horses in their village, and two brick kilns were constantly taking out bricks. They used horse-drawn carriages to pull the bricks out for sale.

And every household in the village has built a house.

There are also many pretty women, but the key is that these women are not originally from this village. "

The catcher said softly.

Zhang Xuelong thought for a moment and said, "I have made so much money at once and can still take concubines. Could it be that all the money was earned from stealing wood?"

"The reason they cut down the wood is to build roads, although they know it is nonsense. But the trees they cut down cannot be worth that much money.

Just for a few hundred horses, the price is outrageous.

His subordinates suspected that what he said might be true and that he was not lying.

And adults should know that there is a big house in the eastern suburbs of the county.

This year I heard that a wealthy family from the capital lived there, and my subordinates suspected that it might be related to that wealthy family. "

The catcher told his own guess.

"What can you do even if you are a big family? Mining and ironmaking must be allowed by the imperial court. What's more, if you are a high-ranking official from the capital, you can't live in a place like this without telling me."

"Then my subordinates don't know. Why don't you go there in person? Because the matter is so important, Lin Hai may feel that his official position is too low and he is unwilling to tell the truth.

It's better for the adults to ask him personally.

The subordinate believes that the Lord will take action personally, and he will not hide anything. "

Zhang Xuelong thought for a moment after hearing this.

I feel that Lin Hai should not be the one who cuts down trees secretly.

This man is quite capable and has earned a lot of reward money just by killing tigers.

There is absolutely no need to do these illegal things.

After thinking about it again and again, I thought I should go there.

If the imperial court really sends people to mine and smelt iron here, it will be of huge benefit to the entire county government.

Mining requires a lot of labor first, and a large number of people can follow to make money.

The government can also collect and pay taxes, which is of huge benefit to the county government.

"Okay, then let someone prepare the sedan! I want to see with my own eyes what kind of ability he has to dare to mine here."

The head catcher was very happy when he saw that the county magistrate was finally persuaded.

Regardless of whether to arrest Lin Hai or not, let the county magistrate make his own decision.

I won't offend others and end up being unable to step down.

A group of people went to Beishan Village to protect the county magistrate.

He Ersc has never received the reward, and he is really unwilling to do so.

You have to go with the team.

Lin Tiangui received the imperial edict, and as expected, the court promised to start mining and smelting iron immediately.

It turned out to be expedited by the Eight Hundred Miles Express.

It can be seen that the court is seriously short of money.

I want to make money by smelting iron from this iron mine.

Lin Tiangui did not dare to delay, and took the imperial edict with his men to find Lin Hai.It is not too late to start mining, we must seize the time.

What's more, Lin Tiangui also wanted to use this incident to make great achievements and go back to lead the troops earlier.

Nowadays, the border clan is watching with eager eyes and may launch an attack at any time.

The other generals were really worried, as a slight mistake could lead to a disastrous defeat.

Lin Tiangui was also extremely concerned about this matter.

Lin Hai led people to burn the wood into charcoal, which can later be used as material for carburizing heat treatment.

The requirements for charcoal quality are very high.

After Zhang Xuelong arrived with his people, he did not immediately notify the arrest.

Instead, he looked around to make sure that what He Ersc said was true.

Then this station found Lin Hai.

There is a large amount of wood stored in the charcoal burning area, and it looks like trees cut from the northern mountains.

When He Erbo caught the evidence, he immediately shouted loudly: "Have you seen the county magistrate? These trees were cut down secretly.

It's not for building roads at all, but blatantly stealing wood. "

Lin Hai was not surprised at all and walked over and bowed.

He smiled and asked, "How come the county magistrate has time to come to our place?"

"Lin Hai, I personally went to Beishan to have a look. Many trees were cut down. What explanation do you have?"

"Didn't Brother Captor tell you? The trees are cut down to build roads. It won't be long before mines are mined and iron is smelted here, and all the smelted iron needs to be transported to the capital.

This is a major event for the imperial court and the country.

I didn't keep the money in my pocket! "

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I don't know? Mining and iron smelting must be carried out by the emperor's personal decree. Without the permission of the imperial court, whether it is private mining or iron smelting, it is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes."

Zhang Xuelong scolded loudly.

"Don't be angry, county magistrate. The imperial edict from the imperial court will arrive in a few days. Your Excellency will definitely know it by then."

"No, I can't watch you cutting down trees in private. Either you tell the person behind it, or follow me to the county government.

You must be imprisoned.

Unless the imperial court can really issue an imperial edict. "

Zhang Xuelong ordered his men to arrest people.

The hunters were all unhappy immediately, and all held their bows and arrows in front of Lin Hai.

In the past, I was afraid of the government.

The people in the government didn't dare to breathe when they saw him.

But things are different now.

They even easily wiped out such powerful bandits as the Black Dragon Village, and they no longer looked down upon the government at all.

If Lin Hai was really willing to rebel, most of them would follow without hesitation.

Seeing that so many people dared to resist the law, Zhang Xuelong's face became ugly.

If someone rebels here, neither these hunters nor themselves will be able to escape serious sin.

"Put down your weapons, do you still want to rebel?" Lin Hai didn't expect these hunters to be so courageous.

Quickly ask them to put down their bows and arrows,
Zhang Xuelong breathed a sigh of relief, finally knowing why the head catcher didn't take the hunter back.

"Lin Hai, I know how capable you are, but if you have the capability, you must use it on the right path, so that you can have a bright future.

If you lead the Orions to rebel and steal the government's property.

This is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes. You must think carefully about it. "

Just as Lin Hai was about to explain, someone ran over panting.

"Finally I found you. The prince is waiting at your home! I want you to go and receive the order as soon as possible. The imperial order from the court has arrived."
