Frontier Army Warrior

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the group of people who were walking out stopped.

He turned around and looked at Lin Feng, who looked calm and composed, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Feng crossed his legs, one of which was shaking.

"Uh, excuse me, I have some records of your accounts here. Oh, they do have money and food, they are all wealthy families."

Pan Liren's body began to tremble.

"General Lin, we do have some accounts coming in and out, but... but they are all legal taxes, there is no... no..."

He couldn't continue speaking and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Lin Feng looked at the group of people in front of him with a smile.

"Wencheng, I remember you still have a copy of Mu Bentian's confession. What did it say?"

Wen Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which were densely written many words.

"General, Mu Bentian once confessed that he wasn't the only one in Qingshui County who sent food and fodder to the Tartars. There were also..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Okay, wait until I go back and take a closer look. Alas, the crime of exterminating the entire family, how tragic..."

Suddenly, with a "thump", an old man fell to the ground.

A group of people immediately rushed forward to help.

Fine beads of sweat also appeared on Lin Tong's forehead.

He knew what he had done and thought he had done it secretly, but suddenly he remembered that Lin Feng had also robbed him of ironware and other supplies that he had traded with the Tartars.

The group of people stood there in a daze, as if dumbfounded.

As the lieutenant of Qingshui County, Mu Bentian colluded with the Tartars, so how could he do without the support of the wealthy families in the county?

Whether you like it or not, you have to provide money and food to the Tartars.

Otherwise, the Tartars' knives are very sharp.

Jiang Ji raised his trembling hands above his head and shouted hoarsely.

"General Lin, Lord Cao, as God is my witness, it was Mu Bentian who forced me with a knife. It was not my own will..."

Hearing his miserable cry, everyone started shouting.

Someone fell to his knees with a thud, touched the ground with his head, and shouted loudly to protest his injustice.

Seeing someone kneeling down, the others followed suit.

Cao Deyun stared at this group of wealthy people in amazement. They used to act like they were worth millions, but now their faces were covered in dust, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or tears, but it was all over their faces.

Lin Feng looked at them coldly, picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

After a while, the group of people slowly calmed down.

It was Jiang Ji who spoke up again: "General Lin, how will you deal with this injustice?"

Lin Feng blinked his eyes: "Have you ever delivered food and fodder to the Tartars?"

"That wasn't Jiang's original intention."

"Have you ever sent it?"

Jiang Ji lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Whether there was any injustice or not, I don't know, but it is true that I sent food and fodder to the Tartars."

He raised his hand and pointed at the person kneeling on the ground.

"Anyone who dares to say that he has not sent it can leave now. I guarantee that none of his property will be touched."

There were more than a dozen people in the group, and none of them moved. They all knelt firmly with their heads down.

"Alas, this general had good intentions. He wanted you to share a portion of the family property so that this charge could be evaded. But who knew... what a pity."

Lin Tong had already understood at this time that Lin Feng would never let them go.

I kept things simple.

Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials because some of them have knives in their hands.

They are all fish on the chopping board, and yet they still dream of keeping their property?

Even if he had no dealings with the Tartars, why couldn't they write it down in black and white?

Alas, I am smart all my life but confused for a moment.

Blinded by money.

"General Lin, I firmly support the implementation of the new policy. This is a good policy that benefits the country and the people. General Lin is truly a pillar of the court, and he has devoted himself to the country and the people!"

Lin Feng waved his hand quickly: "You're welcome, you're welcome. I know you're a reasonable person."

The others, as if they had lost their parents, weakly followed suit and shouted.

"General Lin's new policies are great. I support them unconditionally."

The two old men simply closed their eyes and fainted.

Bai Jing quietly reached out and pinched Lin Feng from behind.

Magistrate Cao looked at Lin Feng with some horror, but secretly felt relieved.

When I saw Lin Feng’s policy proposals, I wanted to go over and argue with him, but I hesitated for a moment.

If I expressed a different opinion, I would probably be considered a traitor.

I almost hurt my entire family.

From the next day on, Qingshui's land was distributed to every household based on the number of people.

Money and food were also distributed per person.

There are more than 1,800 households in Qingshui County, and every family is celebrating as if it were New Year's Day.

Every day, people came to pay their respects in front of the house where Lin Feng lived, bringing various items.

The hospitality was hard to refuse, so the yard was filled with eggs, peanuts, sweet potatoes, dried meat and other snacks.

Bai Jing stood in front of the window, looking at the things in the yard, feeling very emotional.

"Brother, your new policy is very popular among the people."

"Haha, they're so poor that they'd be grateful even if you gave them a penny for free."

"That's right. They suddenly got the boss's land. Who wouldn't be grateful?"

"What's the value of land? It's all over the city, and it's mainly for seeds and food and clothing."

"Well, the main reason is that they don't know that I'm the one who benefits the most."

"Wrong, we are the ones who benefit the most."

"We? How come we're the ones who profit the most?"

Lin Feng sneered, "There are more than 500 people. Who doesn't need food, clothing, and supplies? There are also rewards, military equipment, and various materials... Don't you think these don't cost money?"

Bai Jing was speechless.

"Have you ever calculated your daily expenses?"

Lin Feng stood up and walked to the window.

"I will give them the best equipment, the sharpest swords, the most sophisticated bows and crossbows, and the fastest horses."

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Drive the Tartars out of Dazong and let the people live a peaceful life."

"Have you heard that the Dazong court is engaged in a civil war?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "That has nothing to do with me."

"If you become powerful, the struggle for imperial power will come to you."

"What's the Emperor's name? What's the Prince of Fu's name? I don't know who's who. But if anyone dares to bully me, don't blame me for being rude."

Bai Jing was a little confused and looked at Lin Feng's straight nose from the side.

"Brother, why do I feel that you have some contempt for the imperial power?"

"Have it?"

Bai Jing nodded affirmatively.

"It's not just some, but a lot of contempt."

"Then what should I do? Speaking of the Emperor, should I kneel down and kowtow?"

"Here we are, far from the emperor. You can vent your emotions freely, but one day, when you arrive in the important city of Kyoto, you must be careful with what you say."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Bai Jing.

"You seem very familiar with the court."

"No, I just heard someone say it."

"Forget it, let's get through this difficult situation first and then think about other things."

"What difficulties do we have now?"

"Ha, ha, do you think the Tartars will let us go?"

Lin Feng waved his hand amusedly.

"Not to mention the 40,000 Tartar cavalry, there are also tens of thousands of border troops in the border camp. It is very likely that they can wipe us out with just a wave of their hands."

"We are from the border army, why do they want to destroy us?"

Lin Feng frowned and stared at the sky outside the window.

"My strategy runs counter to General Cui's, and I've also gotten into trouble with a few people in the camp. Sigh..."

"Brother, don't we still have General Qin in the border town?"

"He can't get out."

"We can go find him."

"Childish, we..."

Lin Feng had just said half of his words when he heard someone report.

"General, there are cavalry approaching from outside the city, about a hundred of them."

"who?"

"It's too far away to see clearly."

"Let's go and take a look. There's no peace in this world for a moment."
