"I have wiped them all out."

"If the Governor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Tianyong City to ask."

Liu Feng grinned.

“These things are all recorded.”

"But fifteen hundred taels is a lot."

"You might as well tell me the other conditions first."

"It's very simple. Please allow me to recruit 2,000 soldiers in Youzhou City."

"Silver is used to recruit soldiers and purchase weapons. Without soldiers and horses, how can we strangle the bandits in Feihuoshan Mountain?"

"So, in this way, the money will not end up in my pocket."

Xia Lihong's hands tapped the table rhythmically.

He is much more astute than the prefect of Tianyong City, and he is not constrained by the Linghu family.

"How will you deal with the military affairs?"

"Of course. These newly recruited soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and they won't be of much value to the prefect when they are left behind."

"The people I recruit must be the coolies in Youzhou City, or those uneducated people wandering the streets."

"By destroying Feihuoshan Mountain, Youzhou City will have two thousand fewer refugees and ruffians. This is also a good thing for you, my Lord. Why not do it?"

Xia Lihong laughed.

"He's quite eloquent."

"No word was said about the taking of the silver."

"Since you have conditions, I also have conditions."

"Feihuoshan looted a lot of government supplies. Most of the supplies and gold and silver treasures on the mountain belonged to the governor's office."

"When the time comes, these things will belong to my governor's office."

"Yes, I promise."

Liu Feng did not hesitate.
