Chapter 77
As an ancient person, the word "force majeure" is obviously not included in the dictionary of the magistrate.

But since the First Prince's orders were so clear, he had no choice but to obey them, so he immediately recruited two capable men to come over.

"The two of you will go to Ninghai County in a few days, find a way to infiltrate the county government, and take turns day and night to protect the safety of Qinzhi County. If he dies, you two, come and see him!"

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

……

Speaking of Qin Feng, it took a whole day to count the grain, and it probably took two or three days to transport it to the warehouse.

Fortunately, the car and the people are hired with money, and the money is in place, and they will go back by themselves when the time comes, and there is no need for Qin Feng to wait here.

Qin Feng only received the tax payment certificate from the state treasury, and ordered his servants to return to Ninghai County.

Food tax is paid.

But Qin Feng's challenge has just begun.

5000 taels of silver.

In one year, he had to earn at least this amount before he could pay the farmers back as agreed. Even if he didn't earn that much money, he had to give them something of equivalent value.

Otherwise, his reputation as the county magistrate will be ruined.

And it's not just this one thing.

And next year's food tax.

This year's grain is purchased in this way, and it is resolved. What about next year?What about the year after?

This bug-like system tax collection task made Qin Feng very depressed.

The country gentry can't count on it, and Qin Feng will definitely not beg them and bow his head to them.

Even if Qin Feng had this idea in his heart, the [-]% system would not allow it.

Therefore, the only option is to spend this year...

reform!

All-round reform!

The problem of poor land must be solved!
To increase production, it must be increased to the point where every farmer collects enough grain tax, and the common people will not go hungry!

The issue of land ownership must also be resolved!

Qin Feng has already understood that the land in this dynasty is distributed to peasant households. The situation in this county is that the squires robbed the common people by means of money lending and borrowing money. Giving the land to them has caused the current deadlock.

This situation must also change!

After returning to the county office, Qin Feng went out again. This time he not only walked the surrounding cultivated land, but also found two hunters.

It took two or three days for the hunters to walk around the nearby hills and look at the situation.

The yamen servants in the yamen, the accountant, and the common people who have seen Qin Feng go out don't know what Qin Feng is going to do, and they all have doubts.

Why is this county magistrate so weird, running into the mountains every day?

Could it be that the bandits and bandits have become addicted, and they still want to find a cottage or something?

Unexpectedly, on the fourth day, Qin Feng locked himself in the room, ordered three meals a day to be brought in, and didn't care about anything else, and didn't see anyone.

So it was three days.

On the third day, Qin Feng called Zhao Yi over: "Zhao Yi, go and find some decent carpenters for me, and tell them to bring their stuff and salute, and come live with me directly."

"what?"

Zhao Yi thought he heard it wrong.

Qin Feng repeated it again: "Hurry up, don't waste time, you must be the smartest and best carpenter!"

"Hey, it's..."

Zhao Yi didn't know what the magistrate was going to do, but as a messenger, he just had to obey orders.

Two hours later, the three carpenters brought tools and bedding, and followed Zhao Yi back to the county government office.

Qin Feng took the carpenters to the backyard, arranged for three people to live in one room per person, and then ordered two yamen servants Wang Longsun Dabao to stand guard at the door, and no one was allowed to come in to disturb them, so he closed the door of the inner courtyard.

A day later, Qin Feng came out by himself.

"Zhao Yi, follow me to the prison!"

"Yes!"

Qin Feng took Zhao Yi into the big prison. The prison was overcrowded. The country gentry were released after being locked up for a while, but those bandits from the Black Village were still in prison.

According to the plan, these people will be beheaded, but Qin Feng has been so busy recently that he has no time to talk to them.

When the prison chief saw Qin Feng coming, he thought he was finally going to kill these bandits, so he cried poorly when he came up.

"Master Qin, you are here. If these prisoners don't kill them, they will almost run out of food in our prison."

Qin Feng saw that the cell leader seemed to be a lot thinner than when he saw him last time, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Tell the brothers to bear it, the county will find a way."

"what?"

The head of the prison is stupid to hear this, what does this mean?Still have to endure?Are these people still not killed?
Qin Feng didn't explain much, and approached the cell directly.

When the bandits on the left and right saw Qin Feng coming, they were filled with righteous indignation and extremely fierce.

But that's all, the prison food is only a little every day, which is enough for them to hang their lives.

This situation has been going on for a month. These people have long been hungry and skinny, and have no energy to make a mess. They are even reluctant to shout or say a few harsh words.

It consumes energy.

Qin Feng looked at the left side, looked at the right side, and asked: "You are all prisoners of death, but this county asks you, do you want to live?"

No one spoke to the left and right, and it took a long time before a voice floated out of nowhere: "This question, whoever wants to die if they can live? They all want to live."

With a straight face, Qin Feng put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes slightly, and said leisurely: "If you want to live, you can, but if you live, this life is not your own, but the magistrate's. If you want to live, the county will call you Whatever you do, you have to do, if you want, come to the front.”

Nobody moved.

To be honest, the bandits in Heishanzhai are all men. Although they must have done evil if they became bandits, they still have a brotherhood with each other.

Qin Feng killed so many of them, and now he wants them to work for Qin Feng and listen to Qin Feng's orders in order to survive?Who will?

Whoever stands up will definitely be scolded by the brothers.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one makes a sound.

Qin Feng smiled coldly: "Hmph, it turns out that they are all elm heads. I don't cherish the chance to live for you, that's all. Then pretend that you have never been to this county."

Qin Feng was playing hard to get, and turned to leave. Finally, a voice came from the cell, it was the person who talked to Qin Feng just now: "Wait! Me! I want to live! I want to live..."

A flesh-and-blood guy crawled out from the innermost part.

He was too hungry to stand up, and his face was almost pale.

Qin Feng has an impression of this person, he is already quite thin.

When suppressing the bandits, this guy once hacked Qin Feng with a knife, but was immediately kicked back by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng glanced at him, and the first thought that popped up in his mind was: It's better to eat a little fatter, but if you have a little fat on your body, you won't be hungry like this in a month.

"You want to live?"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
