Chapter 162 Lan, I am deeply saddened!
They were convinced by Lan Xi’s move!
There was no need for Shen Lanxi to issue any more orders. Wei Dongzhu and others directly led people to raid Tian Maofeng's outer room.
Not only the homes of the outer chambers were raided, but also the relatives and friends who were closely related to the outer chambers were not spared.
The main theme is uprooting!
"My lord, a total of 1,800 dans of grain were taken from these outer rooms, a total of 1,200 jins of dried meat and fish, frozen goods, a total of 15,000 taels of gold and silver, and four A large box of gold and silver jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings that have not yet been appraised!"
Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction: "This is the net worth of the commander of the four counties!"
Subordinate Harada Shigeho! All of them lowered their heads, feeling useless, depressed, angry, and embarrassed.
"Master Lan, how did you find out that Tian Maofeng had an extramarital affair?" someone asked.
Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed: "Tian Maofeng has been an official for many years, and has been deeply involved in the position of commander for a long time. He has six wives and concubines in the backyard, but only one box of jewelry. Is it reasonable? ?”
Each of the straight-line Jun Mang had clear question marks flashing in their eyes.
Is it unreasonable? Six girls, only six heads. There is only such a big space on the head. How many things can be worn?
Shen Lanxi glanced at them sideways and said sharply: "As many weapons as you can store in your arsenal, women can carry as many pearls on their heads."
Every military leader hurriedly explained. : "How can it be the same? Our weapons are all used for fighting!"
Shen Lanxi: "Then you all have eight hands on your body?"
"...Um, collect weapons. It’s a man’s hobby!”
Shen Lanxi gave the speaker a death stare!
"...Hey, Tian Maofeng is such a bad thing. He didn't take good care of his wife at home, but gave all the good things to the outside room. It's in vain that we all respect him. He is simply He is the scum of the Wei Institute!”
“He has a human head and a pig’s brain, and he can’t tell the difference between priorities!”
“Dirty and corrupt, we will draw a clear line with him from now on.”
"Master Lan, you are so perceptive and sharp as a torch..."
Shen Lanxi looked at them critically and asked: "Since you are all here, let's discuss what to do with these grains and property. Deal with it?”
After asking this, there was immediate silence!
How to deal with it? Of course they want to embezzle it!
But if the superiors find out about this, they will lose their heads!
Shen Lanxi looked back at Liu Yan, who immediately stood up and said: "The imperial court has not issued any salary for half a year. I suggest that these gold, silver, jewelry and grains be converted into salary and paid to the army!"< br>
“Just now I saw that many of Centurion Liang’s men were wearing thin cotton-padded clothes and had frostbite on their hands and feet.”
“And Mr. Wang Qi, he didn’t even have a decent thing on his body. They don't even have any armor. The soldiers they lead are all sallow and thin, and the cotton shoes on their feet are stuffed with straw!"
"And Chief Sun Xiaoqi..."
Liu Yan After answering the roll call one by one, I felt so distressed that I could burst into tears!
"No matter how hard we suffer, we can't suffer the soldiers. No matter how hungry we are, we can't starve them. No matter how injured we are, we can't have injuries on their hands and feet. You don't know, seeing their appearance, I really wish those chilblains were born in On my body..." Liu Yanhui burst into tears!
The people named were all well fed and clothed themselves. After hearing what Liu Yanhui said, they kept digging their toes on the ground in embarrassment.
There is no other way. Who asked the superiors to divert all the money and food away?
With this horrible weather, I don’t know how many people froze to death in previous years!
Shen Lanxi was deeply moved. "Mr. Liu, stop talking. Lan is also deeply saddened!"
Wei Dongzhu and others were originally in heavy moods, but when they heard this, they suddenly twitched their mouths!
“In the final analysis, all this money was looted from the soldiers, and it should be used on these soldiers!”
Captain Liang and others were so embarrassed that Shen Lanxi said that they bowed their heads.
"Master Lan is right!"
Shen Lanxi frowned, wondering: "Even if this matter cannot be known to the higher ups, you also know what kind of chaos is happening outside. To put it harshly, various places have begun to work on their own. I heard what General Ma Ya meant, our Don’t think about wages and food, from now on we have to solve all these problems ourselves!”
Central Liang and the others were anxious.
"How can we raise troops if we don't allocate food and grass above?"
Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes to cover her eyes.
"If you don't believe it, you can go and inquire with General Ma Ya on your own. We will not move these properties and food, and we cannot tell them. The higher ups have their own plans, and we have to make plans for ourselves, you say , is this true?”
Central Liang and the others nodded.
Shen Lanxi: "After you have finished your inquiries, if what I said is true, I will allocate these properties to the four counties. What do you think?"
Central Centurion Liang and the others have not given up yet. , but he said: "I will obey Master Lan's order."
The next day, Centurion Liang and others went to ask for food and grass through their respective connections.
Some people were scolded so badly that they came back dejected. Some people were met with a cold face, reprimanded, and came back with a sullen face.
Some people were directly singled out and had no food, grass, or salary, so they had to go back and figure out a solution on their own!
These people gathered together that day to find Shen Lanxi and knelt on the ground to express their loyalty.
“We are willing to follow Mr. Lan and swear loyalty to the death!”
The higher-ups don’t care whether they live or die, so don’t blame them for keeping these things secret!
After subduing a few people, Shen Lanxi led a few people to patrol the guard station!
That night a cold wind blew, mixed with snowflakes. After a while, the snowflakes turned into heavy snow!
“It’s snowing again, God doesn’t want people to live!”
“There is enough food to last until spring, but not enough charcoal. Ten people in our health center froze to death last month alone. A few. Everyone was frozen in the morning."
"What are you talking about? In our health center, many of our hands and feet are frozen. There is no medicine or charcoal. These people are waiting to die."
Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Yanhui, who said: "I can contact the merchant selling charcoal, but the price..." He didn't need to say the rest, everyone knew it.
The price of charcoal this year is surprisingly high, and there is a huge shortage of charcoal. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy charcoal!
Shen Lanxi looked determined: "Buy, no matter how expensive the price is, you have to buy charcoal. No soldier is allowed to get frostbite in my jurisdiction. I didn't care what Tian Maofeng did before, but now I, Lan Xi, sit on the four sides As the county commander, I won’t allow any of my soldiers to freeze to death!”
“Buy back all the medicine, cotton-padded clothes, and cotton-padded shoes that the soldiers need!”< br>
"Even if I, Lan Xi, have to drain my family fortune, I will not hesitate!"
Soon, Shen Lanxi's heartfelt words spread throughout the four county guards.
Shilihe County Magistrate Chang Daoyan wanted to withdraw the recruiting tent today, but Lan Xixiaoer dared to deceive him. Talk about being a righteous teacher, but in the end, it is all a means to give yourself a higher position.
What a shame that he actually believed it and recruited hundreds of soldiers for him in just a few days. How could he be worthy of the soldiers he recruited? How could he be worthy of the court's cultivation of him? He was simply a county official in vain. , after he takes care of his posthumous affairs, he will die and apologize!
