    Chapter 52 Occupying the Mineral Deposits

    On the morning of November 23, 1920, Lin Fenghan, Kelande Bonodong and others were discussing various affairs in the Senwei area, and a scout quickly walked in.

    "Report!"

    "explain!"

    The young scout quickly said: "Reporting to the Baron and the generals, a large group of people are currently walking in outside Shenmu City. According to the information we collected, we learned that the mineral deposits stationed under the snow-capped mountains of Shenmu Village more than ten kilometers away  The garrison fled overnight after learning that the coalition had failed, and the miners, who had no restraints, have returned to the nearest city or village. They are now very hungry and exhausted."

    "What?"

    Lin Fenghan stood up quickly and said: "Immediately send out troops to maintain order, open granaries, and set up relief canteens for the hungry. At the same time, let Ramsay, Coland and others lead cavalry troops to occupy the mineral deposits, where there are many gold mines.  , silver mines, copper mines, partially refined gold bricks, and silver bricks may still be there, our army must occupy them quickly."

    "yes!"

    A guard soldier quickly ran out of the door and conveyed Lin Fenghan's order.

    Lin Fenghan looked at Kelande and Bonodong, and said seriously: "Let's go out and have a look too!"

    "Um!"

    "Well! It's time to take a look. It's just a good time to investigate what these people lack, so that we can make corresponding policies to gain the support of the people." Corland nodded, and Bonodong stood up slowly, picked up his cloak and folded it carefully.  said.

    "Walk!"

    Everyone walked out of the hall together and rode towards the city gate.  Along the way, many young and middle-aged people wearing linen, dirty, shabby, and heavily patched clothes were on the streets of Shenmu City.

    ¡°Uncle, give me something to eat!¡±

    "Uncle, I'm hungry. After those bastards left last night, they even took away the bread. The remaining food was not enough to eat. I didn't grab it."

    "Uncle, give me a piece of bread! I'm starving to death."

    "Boss, please do it! I'm about to faint from hunger."

    ¡­¡­

    Many miners who were forcibly captured were begging on the streets. Some well-meaning people gave them food, while some profiteers sold bread and food at high prices. Some miners were really hungry and broke into residents' homes to steal food. They were beaten by the surrounding people.  Neighbors were beaten with sticks, and a lot of chaos was happening in Shenmu City.

    Lin Fenghan stopped at the most prosperous Dongfang Commercial Street in Shenmu City. He stood in front of an old man in his sixties with a miserable face and asked softly: "Old man, what do you want most?"

    "me!"

    The old man glanced at Lin Fenghan doubtfully and said slowly: "First of all, I want to have enough to eat. Secondly, I want my children and grandchildren to respect me and have a house at home to support me in old age. Finally, I want to have a piece of land passed down to me.  Children and grandchildren, so that they don¡¯t have to live in too much pain.¡±

    "Well! Your wish will definitely come true. Take this gold coin to buy some food!" Lin Fenghan took out a gold coin from his chest and handed it to the old man and said softly.

    "Ah! Thank you!" The old man picked up the gold coins in surprise, looked at the people around him cautiously, and ran towards home excitedly.

    Lin Fenghan walked more than ten meters away, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a sad face and constant sighs, who was sitting in front of a radish stall selling things asked: "Uncle, what is the thing you want most?"  ?¡±

    "me!"

    The middle-aged man pointed to himself in surprise, looked at the old man running away, and said happily: "Of course what I want most is to have my own land and my own industry, so that I can pay less in the city.  Taxes can be used for children, parents can store more food, buy more furniture for the family, and the whole family can live a happy and stable life."

    "Uncle, your wish can be fulfilled. Take this and buy more furniture for your home." Lin Fenghan handed out two gold coins to the middle-aged man with a smile. Among the nervous and happy faces of everyone, he walked up to a thirteen or four-year-old man.  Asked in front of the boy who was 3 years old and was mixing noodles and making bread.

    "Little brother, stop for a moment, can you tell me what you want most?"

    "me?"

    The thin boy with short hair pointed at himself and said bitterly: "What I want most is to be able to study literature, poetry, swordsmanship, horse riding, and philosophy like the nobles of the same age"

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan looked at the young man sympathetically and asked, "What else?"

    The thin boy touched his chin and continued: "I also want fun toys and beautiful clothes."?I want to relax and have fun, I want to have extraordinary abilities so that girls will like me, I want to have a good career, so that everyone respects me and likes me.  "

    "Also, I have more dreams and ideals, but unfortunately I have forgotten them now." The thin boy shook his head in embarrassment.

    "Ram, hurry up and work. The bread in the pot is almost cooked. Are you waiting for the next basket?" Suddenly a thick female voice came from one side. The young man was startled and started stirring the dough quickly.  .

    Lin Fenghan glanced at the young man sympathetically and said seriously: "Your wish will be fulfilled. Use this money to buy some delicious food and learn some skills!"

    Lin Fenghan handed the thin young man Ram five gold coins and quickly rode back to the crowd.

    On November 24, 500 Elantra cavalry had found the Shenmu City mineral deposits. At the same time, 1,000 people escorted nearly 4,000 prisoners there. The soldiers from both sides who died in the battle were buried together on the hillside east of Shenmu City. All soldiers from both sides of the war were transported by Elantra.  Government funds treatment.

    At the same time, many miners in Shenmu City and the surrounding areas have rushed to their homes, and the Elant army is also slowly recruiting soldiers under its leadership.  The aristocratic forces in the Senvi area and most of the ordinary people were released, and the felon Baron Pallas and Laris were still imprisoned in the dungeon prison, waiting to be processed.

    After a day of rest, the army of more than 2,000 EL was divided into two parts and set off from the south gate and the north gate respectively towards various towns and villages in the Senvi Mountains.  Along the way, the knights in the villages, the nobles in the towns, and the remaining soldiers of the Second Legion all fled under the power of the Elant army.  The Elantra army managed to sustain a few minor injuries and easily occupied most of the areas belonging to the Senvi Mountains.

    On November 25, after several days of serious discussions, Lin Fenghan issued the following decree.

    1. All people in the Senwei Mountain area who are registered with the local governments in Yilan can each receive a field with an area of ????two acres.

    Second, in view of the war damage in the Senvi Mountains and the numerous civil damage, the Elante government will exempt all people from land tax for three years.

    Third, recruit civil servants and soldiers from all people in the Senwei Mountain area.

    Fourth, for all small towns and existences in the Senvi Mountains, the Elante government will send corresponding village chiefs. The people of each small town and village will have the right to elect two deputy village chiefs and the village chief to manage the village and daily affairs of the town.

    5. Open fishing, hunting, trees, and general natural resource felling rights. The government will no longer impose additional taxes on such daily necessities.

    As soon as the decree came out, the Senwei area rejoiced, and many civilians clapped their hands and applauded, excitedly supporting it.  The influence of the Senwei tribal dignitaries among the common people suddenly collapsed. The vast majority of the people sincerely supported the Elante government, and Elante's rule here became much more stable.
