When Li Yanzhi returned to Xiqian Village, Chen Fengxiao, who went to Cangxia to inquire about the news, also came back. When everyone asked what the group of thieves were, Chen Fengxiao said, "I found it, I found it, it turned out that they were all acquaintances!"

Everyone was surprised and said, "Acquaintance? Why are they an acquaintance?"

It turns out that it is easy to defeat the thief, but it is difficult to completely eliminate its members. Especially when the country's overall economy is in trouble and people in poor areas are living in poverty, the thief will be even more slapped and killed. If you want to solve this problem from the root, you will eventually have to fall into the economy of the entire country - but this is not something Li Yanzhi can manage at this moment.

When Xu Jie remediated the mine thieves, he actually did not cure the root cause. He just cured the symptoms, captured his leader, and drove his brothers and feet. He replaced a group of more obedient people (such as Li Dashu) to replace the increasingly disobedient Yin Gang. The leaders of the Yin Gang were all imprisoned and waited for the Qiu Desperation, while the followers scattered to the poor villages of the border. A few months later, they gathered again and combined with local forces in the Cangxia area, and became a group of bandits entrenched on the borders of the two prefectures!

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I pretended to visit relatives in Gutian. When I passed by Cangxia, they searched all the valuable things. Seeing that I didn't resist and spoke the local accent, they didn't make things difficult for me. They even gave me some dry food to send me on the way. I used this to talk to them. After chatting, I realized that there were several fellow villagers from behind the stream inside! They were all the minions of Yu Santian, and because they couldn't stay in the village, they ran there."

Li Yanzhi asked: "Who is the one who takes the lead?"

"There are two groups of people who take the lead." Chen Feng smiled and said, "One group is Zhujianglong, and the leader is Wang Erbiao, the son of Wang Guangyi, the former son of Yong'an. All those who were driven out of the hometown in the matter of mine theft were attached to him. The other group is a local snake, the grandson of the previous Cangxia inspection, named Wang Ban. He had a grudge with the current inspector Su Yongjian, so he joined forces with Wang Erbiao to drive the inspector away. He did the inspection himself and asked Wang Erbiao to be the deputy inspector. In fact, he occupied the mountain and took the land to collect money! The merchants who didn't know paid the money there and thought it was a matter of justice. But they really exploited it too much! They were not convinced by the government and the county, so the past business travelers complained."

Li Jie said: "So that's it."

Li Yanzhi said: "So what about the inspector Su Yongjian? Why didn't he complain before the county government?"

"Scholar, you don't understand!" Chen Feng smiled and said, "A man surnamed Su is responsible for the inspection, but now he has been driven away and even the place is occupied. If he goes to the county government, the magistrate will first be punished! So he dare not go. As long as the magistrate does not cause too much trouble, the magistrate may not be willing to take care of it. If the magistrate knows some human nature and gives filial piety to the magistrate of each room and master of the county government in advance, maybe the magistrate will agree to him to replace Su Yongjian - so after Su Yongjian was driven away, he had to wander around and dare not show up."

Li Yan shook his head when he heard this, thinking: "How can this administration be so corrupted!"

Li Jie said again: "But it's not right, but I have paid the money in Cangxia. Why haven't I walked far and met a robber again?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I heard that they collected money in Cangxia, which was 37% off. Wang Erbiao, Wang Banqi, and Wang Erbiao thought that the money was too little to support his brothers, so he often raided in ambush before and after the pass. Although Wang Ban knew about it, he could not control him."

Li Yan said straight: "It seems that these two people are not united, and there may be some desirable ways!"

"Don't be desirable!" Li Jie said: "The most urgent task now is to build weapons and recruit people. Anyway, we have official documents in our hands, we are soldiers, and they are thieves! As long as we train the aircraft and have stronger strength than them, we will send troops to level Cangxia!"

What does this mean? Li Gang, Wu Niu and others responded and said, "That's right!"

Li Yanzhi nodded and said, "Second brother is saying so much!" He assigned tasks at the moment, Li Gang was responsible for supervising the construction of weapons, Li Yanzhi was responsible for raising money and grain, and Li Dashu was responsible for recruiting personnel. Li Jie had experience at sea and was quite organized, so he trained personnel.

During this period, Li Jiachang had contacts with trade forces in Yanping Prefecture and was a buyer of iron ore everywhere. At this time, when he received the official document, many people donated money and grain. When the booksellers in Jianyang and tea merchants in Wuyi heard the news, they also helped them. They were not all enthusiastic about public welfare, but because they had been exploited by the robbers in Cangxia, they thought that instead of giving money to robbers, they would donate to the robbers, so they could gain a good reputation. So in less than a month, they raised a lot of money and grain, which was converted into more than 200 taels of silver and more than 100 pounds of miscellaneous grains.

Li Dashu raised his arms and shouted, and responded to him. Before Li Yanzhi's money and food were in place, hundreds of people had gathered together. After waiting for the dispatch, Li Jie organized a little and set up a battalion beside Youxi, and erected a large flag to call the Beiyouxi Crotary Corps. Li Jie counted the number of people and divided them into three shifts, with more than 200 people in each shift. He made an appointment with them to come to participate in training the next day, and paid six cents and five cents per person at the end of each month. The mountain people were very active when they saw that they had money to get it.

After nearly half a month of training, Li Yan went straight to the camp to inspect the camp. He saw that the teams everywhere were loose and the weapons they held were strange and strange: some were holding long swords, some were holding waist knives, some were holding palladium, some were holding red tassel guns, and some were holding big wooden sticks - they looked like they were fighting, but they barely formed the formation. It turned out that these good weapons were not built in just a few days. When Li Gang saw that everyone was coming, he first collected weapons from all over the country, or simply asked the applicant to bring them, so this was the case.

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said to Li Jie: "This is not possible! Although I don't understand military affairs, I also feel that such a team cannot fight!"

"You don't understand!" Li Jie said: "It's almost the same in Cangxia! When the time comes, you can fight with a fight. It depends on who has more people and who is cruel! If there are more people, you will win!"

Li Yan asked, "What if the other party is more ruthless than us, what if we lose?"

Li Jie said: "Then let's go back first, clean up, recruit people, and fight!"

Li Yan heard it and thought to himself: "This is clearly a routine of fighting!" After thinking about it, he felt that this was too lucky, so he discussed with Li Jie to hire a master who knows martial arts and military skills to teach. Li Jie sneered: "What kind of martial arts and what kind of masters! Those are all scheming and lying!"

Li Yan said straight: "Although there are many scammers, there are always a few who have real skills." Therefore, he insisted on making a list to recruit talents.

Li Jie said: "You can recruit, but the people you invite must pass my level first and defeat me. Third brother, it's not that my brother can't trust you, but you are a scholar after all, and you are young and don't know how to fight. I'm afraid you will be deceived."

Li Yan said straight: "What the second brother is saying." The Li family paid out of their own pocket and offered a reward for the whole province, and wanted to invite martial arts and military masters to supervise the Beiyouxi Craft Corps!

I don’t expect that because of this reward, I will cause a fierce man who is like a dragon and a tiger to come! (To be continued)
