Wu Songhong and the others are representatives of celebrities in Fangshan County, and many big families in Fangshan County know about the matter of asking for money, and many people are also waiting for the outcome of the matter, so they can decide whether to follow suit.

Now that Wu Songhong and the three of them have been arrested, it is obvious that this Chen patrol is planning to swallow everyone's property privately, some people are glad that they did not come out with the three of them, and more people are angry, secretly connecting in private, discussing how to let Chen Yue return everyone's property. However, the most daring people have been arrested, and it is not easy for the remaining cowards to make a name for themselves.

After arresting the three people, the next day, Chen Yue issued a proclamation in the name of Fangshan County, charging the three people led by Wu Jinshen with surrendering to the Manchurian Tartars, and put Wu Jinshen in a flail to show the public at the gate of the county government, and took off his hat to let the people of the city see the ugly appearance of his money rat tail braid.

This hand is so ruthless that some people who originally planned to intercede are discouraged, for fear of implicating themselves. In fact, in the past month since the Mantars occupied Fangshan County, in order to survive, a considerable number of people who took the initiative or were forced to shave their hair, among them, there are many celebrities among these gentry, and some people have done dirty things for the survival of themselves and their families.

Chen Yue actually had no intention of pursuing this, his purpose in doing this was to scare off these people who wanted to recover their property from him. However, it was not a family that was robbed of property by Mantar, most of the families in the city had been robbed, and if Chen Yue insisted on swallowing everything privately, he would inevitably offend most of the people in Mancheng. Although he has a life-saving grace for the people of the city, in front of the white flowers, what is the life-saving grace? In this world, there are not too many ungrateful people.

Therefore, Chen Yue also announced in the notice that he would return the things that were robbed by the Mantars on a certain day, and hoped that the robbed families would issue a list and come to the county government at that time, but they had to cite physical evidence to prove that the things were their own, otherwise there were so many people in the county, and everyone said that the property was their own, and how could the government return it.

This trick is very ruthless, after all, many things are not engraved with names, especially silver coins, you say it's yours, you call it to try, see if it agrees?

However, Chen Yue didn't plan to be greedy for everything, except for money, grain, and cloth, he planned to distribute most of the things, after all, many things were of little use to the Xishan Army, and the army could have food and money. Even if it is food, he will also take out half of the grain and distribute it to the ordinary people in the city, after all, after being robbed by the Mantars, most of the families have suffered heavy losses, if the government ignores and does not provide relief, I am afraid that many people will not survive this cold winter. As for who the original owner of the grain sent was, Chen Yue didn't care, and the people who accepted the grain didn't care even more.

Under the auspices of Shan Minglei and He Lu, and with the assistance of dozens of county officials, the work of returning materials was carried out in an orderly manner, and people continued to come to the county government with apprehension, and then left happily with grain bags. There are Feng Xuan, the household secretary, and others, and the identity of every person who came to claim the lost property is clear, which also eliminates the possibility of fraudulently claiming or even receiving food many times.

Chen Yue's actions have been praised by most of the people in the county, and countless people regard him as the reborn parent of the Buddha of ten thousand families. Saving the people of the city from fire and water, and distributing food to help everyone tide over the difficult times, how many good officials are there in the entire Ming Dynasty? Many people regard Chen Yue as the reincarnation of Hai Rui and call him Chen Qingtian.

Of course, some people are happy, some people are lost, watching their own food being carried away by those mud legs, the hearts of many rich families are dripping blood, but with the experience of Wu Jinshen and others, what can they do?

After being detained for several days, Wu Jinshen and the three of them can be said to have endured all the hardships, not to mention being shackled at the gate of the yamen every day against the cold wind, but also being pointed at by the people with bare heads, thinking of the family members who were killed by the Mantars, looking at the money rattail on Wu Jinshen's head, many people were indignant and disdained to spit on Wu Jinshen.

A few days later, the family members of the three cried and begged, and asked a large number of people to intercede, and sent a large sum of silver, and Chen Yue agreed to let the people go. I didn't expect them to be so rich after being robbed by the Mantars, among them, Wu Jinshen's family sent as much as 1,000 taels of silver in order to ransom people, and Song Shopkeeper and Hong Jinshen's family also sent 500 and 800 taels, Chen Yue was very surprised where their family's silver was hidden? It is estimated that what was robbed by the Mantars was only floating wealth on the surface.

After more than ten days, the army was almost rested, many of the wounded had regained their mobility, and even the iron lion could struggle to get out of bed.

Yang Zhengping and Shan Minglei came together to ask Chen Yue for instructions on recruiting soldiers, and now they have money and food, as well as a large number of captured weapons, armor, and war horses, and it is not a problem to expand the army to 500 people.

After careful consideration, Chen Yue rejected them, not because he didn't want to recruit soldiers, but because he didn't plan to recruit in Fangshan County. Because as far as the source of soldiers is concerned, the source of soldiers in the city is the worst, and many people are greedy and slippery, and they have a lot of bad habits.

There are many slippery people in the city, and they can't be relied on at critical moments, so they will slip away, and they will also pull others to slip together. In case they are caught by their superiors, they have enough eloquence to blame others. The so-called rat droppings spoil a pot of soup. In the army, such people will not only not be able to fight, but will play a role in breaking the morale of the army.

Chen Yue has read Ji Xiao's new book, and the selection chapter says that the first can be used, an honest person in the countryside, this kind of person is black and stout, able to endure hardship, solid hands and flesh, with the color of soil, a dull person in the countryside, afraid of the government, afraid of the law, easy to obey orders. Therefore, Chen Yue recruited soldiers only to recruit peasants in the countryside, but not to recruit people from the cities.

Shan Minglei said that since he was unwilling to recruit soldiers in the city, it was better to leave Fangshan and go straight back to Xishan Town, after all, there was too much money and food spent every day in Fangshan, and Chen Yue was not the magistrate of Fangshan, and he did not plan to recruit soldiers here, so why bother with the people in the city.

A large number of things seized every day were distributed, most of them were in the hands of Shan Minglei, and Shan Minglei couldn't help but secretly scold Chen Yue's kindness!

Chen Yue knew that Shan Minglei was reasonable, but the purpose of his stay in Fangshan was not to help the people in the city, but to wait for news from the imperial court.

It's been a few days since the report was filed, why hasn't the imperial court reacted at all? It is less than 100 miles from Fangshan to Beijing, and the people of the imperial court should have received the news of the victory anyway. Even if you don't believe that you have really won a great victory, you should send someone to check it out.
