Fu Song

Chapter 439 Four hundred thirty-nine
Xiao Cheng's hall.

Luo Xin, who was sitting opposite Xiao Cheng, piled up a large pile of files in front of him.

It is quite easy to follow the comforter in front of him who is a few years younger than himself.

Of course, this ease requires you to keep up with your ability.

Otherwise, you will be so tired, you will suffer, and the play will not be good.

But obviously, Luo Xin belongs to the kind of person who can do things and knows how to do things, so everything seems to be easy, no matter what Xiao Cheng entrusts to him, he can always handle it properly in the shortest time.

After successfully persuading Luo Guangbu and Mahubu to go to Guizhou Road, Luo Xin took over the land reform of dividing land into households that countless officials on the road avoided.

In the past three years, except for Zunyi and Qiandongnan, which have made slow progress, the other five prefectures and two prefectures have basically completed this work. As the host, Luo Xin's status on the road is naturally rising. Tian Yi and Li Fang of the tax reform also competed.

After all, doing things related to land is much more difficult and difficult than doing things related to business.

Luo Xin liked Xiao Cheng's style of doing things very much.

Simple and clear, to the point.

Including writing a report to Xiao Cheng, if you write an extremely gorgeous article with red tape, you will be scolded like hell.

On the contrary, it is more pleasing to him to cut straight to the point and state the facts dryly.

Those officials on Guizhou Road who didn't know Xiao Cheng had suffered a lot when they returned to the beginning.They thought that an official who was born as a Jinshi would definitely like gorgeous articles, and that every report must be painstakingly made to be prosperous, but the result was naturally a disappointment.

What Xiao Cheng likes most is to use numbers and tables to make everything more intuitive.

It also let all things be exposed to the sun by seemingly simple numbers one by one.

Those spring and autumn brushwork in the past are all useless.

Pili Yangqiu's wrist was also beaten to pieces one by one by the numbers.

OK, that's OK.

No way is no way.

No, if there is no objective reason recognized by everyone, it can only be that you, an official, can't do it.

Either step down or be demoted, because you have to make way for those who are going.

Xiao Cheng's management style naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people on Guizhou Road, who reprimanded him for acting for profit.

However, on Guizhou Road, such people are only a small group after all. Even if they have complaints, they don't dare to speak out in public, and they only dare to hide in a hidden place in the dark and gather for three Five like-minded people spend a few words with the help of wine.

Once out of this place, it will be beaten to death.

Saying that Xiao Cheng doesn't pay attention to culture and education, I'm afraid that everyone on Guizhou Road will not agree.

Mr. Cen was appointed to study, and the style of writing on Guizhou Road has flourished in the past few years. Although it is said that it is impossible for many talented people to emerge in a short time because of the lack of foundation in the past, I only see the countless new schools and schools. The sound of reading aloud, no matter who it is, will feel that the future can be expected.

Reading is expensive.

On Guizhou Road, most of the money came from the government, and a small part came from Mr. Cen for alms.

On Guizhou Road, Xiao Cheng is generally very good to literati. As long as you put your heart into becoming an official, no matter whether you have fame or not, you can get a position first.

Anyway, Guizhou Road is newly established, and there is a shortage of officials. People wait for seats, not seats.

It doesn't matter at all whether you are a scholar or a scholar.

Then, naturally, the survival of the fittest.

Some people made great strides all the way, stepping into the ranks of full-fledged officials boldly from mere ordinary officials, while some stood still and stagnated.

There were quite a few well-known and popular people who came here in high spirits, but left in disgrace.

There are many little-known people, but if they don't make a name, they are nothing but blockbusters.

Xiao Cheng's employment in Guizhou Road has been decided by him at the beginning, and now he has slowly worked out a set of evaluation system for promotion.

Different from the assessment by the imperial court, Guizhou Road uses an intuitive fractional presentation.

Any ambiguous comments such as upper-upper, upper-middle, middle, lower-middle, and lower are completely discarded.

Throughout the year, each item of assessment rules is given a score, or plus or minus, each person has a table, and after calculation, the score of each official is clear at a glance.

As long as you are above the passing score, it means that you are basically qualified. Although you will not be promoted, you will not lose your official title.

If you fail, it's best to leave without embarrassment.

Of course, everyone needs face.

Well done, no one wants their scores to be lower than others, after all, those with higher scores will have an absolute advantage in the next promotion.

Even if you pass, if you are Sun Shan, it would be quite embarrassing, wouldn't it?

Therefore, although Xiao Cheng didn't wield a tangible whip, the invisible whip beat all the officials violently one after another, forcing them to lower their heads and desperately pull the car they were in charge of. Work hard.

At least until now, Luo Xin has not seen officials dawdling on Guizhou Road.

Or, this is the reason why an emerging force is flourishing and making rapid progress like a rising sun.

On Guizhou Road, there are seven mountains, two waters and one field, and the scarcity of land made it extremely difficult for people in this land.

And if the originally small land is annexed by powerful officials, the life of ordinary people will be even worse.

Unlike the prosperous life of the powerful landlords, the original government here is also clinking poor.

How could he be allowed to continue in such a situation!

Now under Xiao Cheng's leadership, the situation has initially improved. ,
What makes Luo Xin even more admired is that in the series of policies formulated by Xiao Cheng, he did not abandon the original powerful landlords, except for a very small number of guys who must be his enemies. Except for the corpse, the rest basically joined the group.

The home of cutting ice does not raise cattle and sheep.

Xiao Cheng used this sentence to educate those gentry on Guizhou Road.

These people have completed the most basic accumulation of capital, and then they stay at home on the one-third of an acre of land, planing food in the soil, and competing with poor people for this bit of land.

The strong will go out.

It is necessary to use the capital in hand to earn more money.

In another dynasty, Xiao Cheng's words would probably be laughed at by people.

But in the Song Dynasty, let alone, these words are deeply popular.

The prosperity of business in the Song Dynasty was unimaginable for latecomers.

Moreover, the merchants on the Guizhou Road did not fight alone. Under the leadership of Li Fang, these people formed small groups based on their closeness or geographical distance. For those big chambers of commerce in the Federation, of course, these big chambers of commerce are attached to the government, and the big guys attack in groups.

There is only one purpose, to make a lot of money.

The government fully supports it.

Because the commercial tax on Guizhou Road has now surpassed any place in the Song Dynasty.

If you want to collect more taxes and prevent merchants from rebelling, of course you have to create more opportunities for them to make a fortune!

If there is in the pot, there will be in the bowl.

Xiao Cheng's strategy was successful. On the Guizhou Road, most of the powerful landlords began to abandon the ruthless days of the past that have been passed down for many years. With a large amount of money in their arms, they embarked on a journey to seek more wealth. .

Xiao Cheng took back a lot of land resources after spending not much money.

Of course, except Zunyi and Qiandongnan.

Because everything comes down to the root, or because of the power in Xiao Cheng's hands, others have to think twice before making the most correct choice.

But the Yang family and the Tian family don't have this concern.

They are heroes!
It is one of the foundations of Xiao Cheng's rise.

So, they have nothing to fear.

Of course, the end of their ruthlessness is that they are at the end of the crane among the five prefectures and three states on Guizhou Road.

It is also stronger than Liupanshui, which is still under the control of Dali Gao Yingxiang.

This situation, of course, needs to be changed.

If you are poor, you will change;

And the changes in these two places need an opportunity.

Now, this opportunity has appeared.

Yang Cong from Zhengyang County actually killed officials and violently resisted the law.

Luo Xin who stood up looked at Xiao Cheng, hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Cheng put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Futai, why don't you just take advantage of this matter and take Yang Bin directly?" Luo Dao said, "Although the Tianping Army is controlled by Yang Bin, only three of the three thousand tigers are really Yang Bin's confidantes." One of them, even if he wants to make a fuss, nothing can happen."

"Yang Bin is a mighty general, a mighty general, three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find!" Xiao Cheng shook his head.

"But you can also take this opportunity to test Yang Bin's determination!" Luo Xin continued: "See if he is truly loyal to Futai. If he can stand the test, this person will be of great use in the future. , if not, Futai, the greater the ability, the greater the damage in the future!"

Xiao Cheng picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said lightly, "Luo Xin, don't test human nature. People's hearts are the most vulnerable to temptation. Yang Bin only has such a younger brother. Yang Bin, whose parents have both died, has no respect for this younger brother. Feelings are unquestionable.”

"But it is precisely because of Yang Bin's indulgence that this Yang Cong is lawless."

"Yang Cong is just a little white rabbit raised and abandoned by Yang Bin." Xiao Cheng said with a smile, "How could I give up Yang Bin, a fierce tiger, just because of a stinky fox playing tricks behind Yang Cong's back! I don't want to try it, but I'm afraid that if I try it, I will drive people to a dead end, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

"So you informed him in advance and let him make his own choice?"

Xiao Cheng nodded.

"The enemy's layout requires us to mess up ourselves. If we don't mess up ourselves, they will have nothing to do."

"Just Hu Yi, a piece of trash, can we set up such a situation?"

"Old friend!" Xiao Cheng laughed: "Zhao Ziyu's handwriting, this time the layout involves several roads around us, Hu Yi is just an introduction. Zhao Ziyu is a good trick, and he is a little careless , will suffer greatly.”

Luo Xin was a little discouraged: "But we can only see the tricks, and we can't deal with him the other way around."

Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng's eyes turned dark and cold, and some unpleasant memories of the past gradually came to mind.

"If there is a chance, how can there be no chance! It's not that you don't report, it's just that the time has not come."

Luo Xin sent him out: "It seems that in a few days, my subordinate will be going to Zunyi Mansion, and we really have to hurry up there. It was originally the best place, but now it is lagging behind. Yang Quan must be annoyed now, Now that the game has been broken, he should feel elated, and he just happened to take over the entire Yang family."

Xiao Cheng smiled.

Yang Qing's Yang family is still the Yang family.

But Yang Quan's Yang family will become Xiao Cheng's absolute help and will not be like this anymore.

Therefore, this is also the reason for my tolerance.

As for the Tian family, after seeing the changes in the Yang family, they should also express themselves!
However, after all, it is impossible for the Tian family to completely rely on themselves like the Yang family.

Tian Chou is a thoughtful person, so he will never hand over the Tian family to Tian Yi.

However, if you want to maintain the independence of the Tian family, it will inevitably be lost by the times in the future.

Here in myself, effort and gain are always directly proportional.

Zunyi Mansion, Tianping Army.

Yang Bin looked at Master Jia who was tied up and thrown on the ground in surprise and anger.

Wu Ke was drinking tea slowly.

What happened was very simple and clear.

Yang Cong opposed the policy of distributing land to households on Guizhou Road, and refused to withdraw from the official land he seized and the common people's land that he seized by ingenuity. Therefore, after the government came to him, Yang Cong killed these officials.

Occupying official land is just a trivial matter.

It is not a great event to steal the people's land by clever means.

But killing an official is no small matter.

So Master Jia came to look for Yang Bin.

Why are you looking for Yang Bin?
Rebellion!
Moreover, on the other side of Zizhou Road, Lianying's army is ready.

Yang Bin's face turned green.

Wu Ke looked calm, as if he wasn't worried about what Yang Bin would do to him at all.

Yang Bin really wanted to turn against Xiao Cheng, as long as he said hello at this moment, Wu Ke would be crushed to pieces immediately.

But he just drank his tea slowly and looked at Yang Bin with great interest.

Yang Bin stood up, went to the wall next to the house, took down a knife hanging on the wall, and with a choke sound, the steel knife came out of its sheath, and the room was immediately soaked in a layer of chill.

Master Jia, lying on the ground, looked at Yang Bin expectantly.

This is the only straw that keeps him alive.

Yang Bin has really turned his back on him. Not only can he live, but he can also make great contributions, and he has gone smoothly.

Yang Bin walked straight in front of Wu Ke.

Master Jia had a smile on his face.

Wu Ke put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Yang Bin with his hands closed.

Yang Bin cupped his fists and saluted Wu Xingxing.

"Feel sorry."
