The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Seeing that the hungry people were quiet, Liu Shengcai continued: "The homeless people will also help, but they must be the first to help. This is the rule of our rebel army!

In addition, please listen carefully to me explaining the rules of queuing - groups of ten households should line up starting from the downstairs of the city gate.

In the same group, the leading household stands at the front, and the other nine households stand at the back facing the city gate.

The second group stood ten steps west of the first group. Like the first group, ten families stood back at once facing the city wall.

In this way, other groups lined up along the city wall to the west!

After everyone in the group received the porridge, they went to the east together and set up camp again in groups.

The same rules apply to serving porridge tomorrow, so the leader of each group must manage each household in the group and avoid causing chaos!

Later I will send people out of the city to maintain order and explain the rules of queuing up to receive porridge. Now, everyone steps back a hundred steps away! "

This time, none of the hungry people dared to disobey, and they all retreated a hundred steps away.

Immediately, Liu Sheng asked 30 pro-Saber players to go out of the city to maintain order and explain the queuing rules.

10 musketeers were placed on the city gate tower, and the remaining 20 musketeers patrolled westward on the city wall. When necessary, they fired to deter those who jumped in line, and even cooperated with the swordsmen to kill those who deliberately caused chaos.

After the 30 knife players left the city, the city gate was closed.

Under the guidance and intimidation of the sword player, the hungry people began to line up according to the rules set by Liu Sheng.

More than half an hour later, the first batch of ten large pots of millet porridge was cooked, and the porridge finally started.

Liu Sheng originally wanted to go outside the south city gate and follow the law.

However, seeing many hungry people coming from the south to the east, and worrying that opening two city gates at the same time would bring too much defensive pressure to the rebels, they changed their minds and only put porridge at the east city gate to feed the hungry people.

While relieving the hungry people, Liu Sheng called Wang Dalu and asked him to lead several county office clerks to register the hungry people.

In order not to delay the donation, only the simplest information is registered.

For example: the name, age and place of birth of the head of the household, the names and ages of other people in the family.

This is all information that can be recorded with just a few questions.

In this way, on the afternoon when the rebels occupied Queshan County, relief for the hungry people outside the city began in an orderly manner...

After the sun goes down.

The money and grain purchased from large households in the city also went into the county government warehouse.

After Liu Sheng checked it in person, he listened to An Jun report the accounts compiled from four groups of official books.

"Reporting to the leader, this time a total of 28,000 shi of grain and 68,000 taels of silver have been collected.

Among them, Li Gongzhang's family in the east of the city provided the most money and grain, 2,000 shi of grain and 10,000 taels of silver.

Leader, please take a look. This is the specific account of each family’s money and food. "

After Liu Sheng looked through the accounts, he asked: "Is the Li family in the east of the city the richest in the county?"

The officials responsible for collecting grains were also waiting nearby.

Liu Sheng asked, but An Jun didn't know for a moment, so he looked at the group of officials writing.

Li Dianli came over immediately and replied: "Returning to the chief, only the four families of Zhou, Wu, Li and Zheng in the county have more than 10,000 acres of land.

In terms of wealth, the Li family in the east of the city ranks third or fourth at most. The Zhou family and the Wu family both have more money and food than the Li family, and the Zheng family is not much behind the Li family. "

Liu Sheng looked at the accounts again.

It was found that the Zhou family had only produced 1,500 shi of grain and 10,000 taels of silver.

The Wu family only provided one thousand shi of grain and eight thousand taels of silver.

The Zheng family provided one thousand shi of grain and five thousand taels of silver.

None of the dozens of remaining companies on the accounts paid more money and food than these four companies.

Liu Sheng raised his eyes to look at Li Dianli and asked, "Who are the grain stores in the county?"

Li Dianli lowered his head and said: "Back to the leader, the previous owners were the Zhang family and the Zhou family. More than three months ago, the Zhang family temporarily lost their food source and their business shrank, so the Wu family also got involved."

"What is the relationship between the Zhang family in this county and the Zhang family in Minggang?"

"It is said to be a branch of the Zhang family in Minggang."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng closed the account book and asked: "Which house are you a pian official, and what is your name?"

Li Dian lowered his head and said, "Come back to the chief, my name is Li Yunzhong, and I am the household official."

"How much money and food did you collect today?"

"I know more big families, so I collected fifteen thousand shi of grain and twenty-six thousand taels of silver."

Liu Sheng said: "Today's food collection, you barely managed it, but it's not enough to satisfy me.

Tomorrow morning we will go to each big household to collect food again and tell them that if they continue to be stingy with food, I will really not be polite. "

"Yes." Li Yunzhong agreed with a grimace.

Returning to the county government office, Liu Sheng probably made some calculations.

There are indeed more than 20,000 hungry people outside the city. To feed them for half a year, at least 60,000 to 70,000 shi of food are needed.

Therefore, if the officials fail to obtain enough food tomorrow, he will indeed not be polite.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng said to Ma Jinshui who was accompanying him: "Go and bring the officials of the execution room and the workshop, as well as Luo Dianshi and the money master's book."

"Yes."

Ma Jinshui responded and left with a few soldiers, and soon brought Luo Huaiyu and others.

There is no county magistrate among the two officials of Queshan County Yazuo, only the chief registrar named Qian Yunsheng, who is a civil servant in his fifties.

This person was originally hiding at home, but was confessed by Cai Wending and others, and he was "invited" to the county government along with the other six-room clerks who were hiding at home.

Liu Sheng first said to Qian Yunsheng: "Master Qian, please bring the workshop officials and invite all the craftsmen and their families in the county to the county government tomorrow."

Qian Yunsheng was also greedy for life and afraid of death. After hearing this, he nodded first and then said: "Chief Liu, I'm afraid we need some government servants as helpers."

"The government officials who escaped today should be hiding some, right? You can just go find them yourself tomorrow."

When Qian Yunsheng saw Liu Sheng's unkind look, he didn't dare to make any more conditions and had no choice but to agree.

After asking Ma Jinshui to take Qian Yunsheng and several office clerks out, Liu Sheng looked at Luo Dianshi and others.

"Li Dianli from the household told me that the four richest families in the county are Zhou, Wu and Li Zheng. He said that these four families have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. But is it true?"

The prison clerk and several bookkeepers were silent for a while.

However, Luo Huaiyu knew that after he led the rebel army into the city, he could not look back. The only way to survive was to join the rebel army.

After hearing this, he said: "Go back to the leader, what Li Dianli said is right."

"Then do you have any evidence that these four families have done evil?"

The people in the execution room still didn't speak.

Luo Huaiyu said: "Chief, my Dianshi is only responsible for arrests and prison matters. The criminal chamber is responsible for all criminal proceedings. They may know something."

The prison warden then spoke, "The chief understands that we only deal with disputes among ordinary people on weekdays, and we really don't know much about the affairs of big families."

"Not sure?" Liu Sheng sneered, "Do you think I'm too easy to talk to? Come here, take the jailer out and beat him until he is willing to talk."

The executioner's face suddenly turned pale after hearing this.

Without waiting for him to say anything, two pro-soldiers grabbed him and dragged him out.

Soon, crackling sounds and screams could be heard outside the hall.

After a few moments, the executioner heard the executioner shout: "I want to say it! Stop beating me, I want to say it~!"
