"Three, you are responsible for the entire cost of building the reservoir and the canal!" Zhang Junping continued to stretch out his third finger."

"The villain must fully support the magistrate to build reservoirs and canals!

All expenses are all for us!" I am the one who serves as a slaughter, and the head of the Li family can only nod and agree.

"Fourth, in the future, I have something to do, and you need your full cooperation!

Of course, I will not ask you for help in vain. If this is done well, you will get countless times more benefits than the gold and silver mines you have lost!

A thousand-year-old family is not a dream!" After a blow and giving a sweet date, Zhang Junping knocked on the bamboo quarrel, and then drew a cake for the head of the Li family.

"The magistrate does not dislike us. We will follow the magistrate's leader!" The head of the Li family was delighted and hurriedly agreed.

The head of the Li family was not happy that Zhang Junping promised or that dream of a thousand-year-old family, but that Zhang Junping said that he would help him do something in the future.

This means that the magistrate will not pursue their private opening of gold and silver mines, and is even willing to help them cover up the past.

This is the most important thing!

The reason why the head of the Li family finally chose to give up resistance was because Zhang Junping had shown all the time that they had seen hope.

If Zhang Junping left no room for work and was strong everywhere after taking office, then this would be the situation today.

No matter how strong Zhang Junping is, he cannot beat the ten major families. Wouldn't he run away?

What can Zhang Junping do if he runs into the mountains and to other prefectures?

Although the Song Dynasty had a strict road-guiding system, and there was no road-guiding even the city could not enter.

However, is this a problem for wealthy families like the head of the Li family?

Zhang Junping's servants can spend money to buy some fake real road guides along the way.

Other families have prepared several ways of retreat in advance.

Go to the mountains first, and then go to other prefectures in batches to hide their names. After decades, who still remembers them?

But, if there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to give up the current home business?

Since Zhang Junping took office, although he has pressed every step of the way, he has room for every step of the way, which makes them desperate and hopeful.

Until Zhou Quan was caught, he became the last straw that overwhelmed them.

"Very good! I believe you will be grateful for today's decision in the future!

This will be the wisest decision you will make!

Your ten major families will no longer be the ten major families in Mouping County, but Dengzhou Prefecture, and even the ten major families that are famous throughout the Song Dynasty!” Zhang Junping smiled and promised to the head of the Li family.

"It also depends on the support of the magistrate. The villain swears to the magistrate on behalf of the ten major families, that he must follow the magistrate's footsteps!

From now on, the magistrate asked us to go east, but we will never go west!

Let us chase chickens, we will never beat dogs!"

"Haha!" Zhang Junping chuckled softly.

The head of the Li family said passionately, as if even if Zhang Junping decided to rebel, they would follow him without hesitation.

If he believed this, he would be a fool.

It is estimated that by then, the first person to report him will be the head of the Li family.

"alright!

Since we have made things clear, then we will have a big fight next!

First of all, the land where the reservoir is being built is the land of Wuran Temple!

This matter will be left to you, Mr. Li!

You are responsible for communicating with Wuran Temple, whether you buy the land or replace it, in short, the problem of the land will be solved!"

"yes!

This matter is left to the villain. The villain is familiar with Zen Master Huijue, the host of Wuran Temple. Zen Master Huijue should agree to this matter!" The head of the Li family readily took on the first task.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!

Remember, what I said before, I will give you three days to turn off all the gold and silver ore, and organize the relevant information about the gold and silver ore into a book and hand it over to me.

Three days later, I will write to the court to report the discovery of the gold and silver mines in Mouping County to the official family!"

"The villain will go back and notify other families. Within three days, the county magistrate's explanation will be completed!"

"Yeah, go!" Zhang Junping nodded and signaled that the head of the Li family could leave.

After seeing off the head of the Li family, Zhang Junping also got on the horse and left the Chiluo land and returned to the county government office.

Now is not the time to take it lightly, so who knows whether the ten major families are delaying the army?

First, he calmed Zhang Junping down, let him relax his vigilance, and then he burned his boats and killed Zhang Junping along with his servants.

He is not afraid of being on the front, but in this world, killing people does not have to rely on swords and guns.

There is another method called poisoning.

When they returned to the county government, Sun Xu, Zhang Tian and others captured seventy or eighty people, half of which were captured by Sun Xu.

After all, Sun Xu was a local tyrant. He knew all the escaped gang members and took the yamen runners to the door to catch them, and each one was accurate.

Zhang Junping asked briefly, and then the one who should be sentenced to serve the labor service and the one who should be exiled to serve the military.

They were all detained in the military camp and went directly to work with other prisoners tomorrow.

Now the problems of the ten major families have been basically solved, and next, it is time to take action against the yamen runners.

Zhang Junping is really not satisfied with these yamen runners now, and should be said to be very dissatisfied.

However, Zhang Junping did not intend to fire them directly and smash the other person's job.

Since I don’t want to ruin their jobs, I can only think of other ways.

According to the Song Dynasty, the three yamen runners were all temporary workers with no grades, and their salaries were all handled by the magistrate.

As long as Zhang Junping was willing to spend money and recruit more yamen runners, no one would object.

Moreover, because Mouping County is relatively small, there are only two yamen runners at present, and all kinds of personnel are not complete.

The third yamen runners refer to the soap, constable, strong, and third yamen.

Zao refers to Zaoli, also known as the station squad Zaoli, similar to today's bailiff, who is responsible for following the chief's left and right guards to open the way. During trial, stand on both sides of the lobby, maintain discipline, escort criminals, and perform torture and cannons.

The detective is the abbreviation of the arrest squad Kuaishou, which is somewhat similar to today's criminal police, responsible for summoning defendants, witnesses, detecting criminals and searching for evidence.

Zhuang, the people are brave, responsible for guarding key areas such as city gates, yamen, warehouses, prisons, and patrolling urban and rural roads, similar to today's armed police.

In addition, there are autopsy, injured coroners, night patrolers, Doushi Kardin who supervises warehouses, bell and drummers who report the time, horse-raising grooms, cooks chefs and other yamen staff. These people are collectively called yamen runners.

There are also more important ones, such as Absolute Si, which is Song Jiang and Absolute Si in Water Margin.

There are also classics and history, and there are no such things in county teaching.

If a county government has all these personnel, it will take one or two hundred people.

After careful calculation, there are quite a few people in the county, so although Zhang Junping doesn't like the current yamen runners, there is no need to break them.
Chapter completed!
