I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 864 (the real sixty-two chapters)

According to Zheng Xiaoming's experience in Liangzhou, the population of Anding County in Liangzhou alone may not be less than [-].The remaining eleven counties have a total of less than [-] people?What are you kidding.

Those Qiang Hu who can be suppressed by these [-] people alone?
It is nothing more than that there are still many people who are not in the official records, but have been hidden by the powerful families in Liangzhou.

The power of local powerful families is growing, controlling more and more land and population.On the contrary, the population controlled and mastered by the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller, and the tax sources are reduced, which can only increase taxation.

This can only lead to more people selling themselves as slaves and taking refuge in local powerful families, making the annexation more and more serious.

This is already the biggest contradiction in the world today.

The problem is that no one can solve it.

In fact, Zheng Xiaoming sometimes wondered whether the emperor Liu Hong's sale of officials and nobles meant that he was collecting taxes from those officials.

I can't collect your tax under normal circumstances, so I can only rely on this method to let you pay for it!

However, the tax collected by the emperor Liu Hong is not used for the country, but for his own luxury...

No, it's not just spent on debauchery, but also on the army.

Zheng Xiaoming thinks of the past few years, with the gradual expansion of the Imperial Army after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he is thoughtful.

No wonder the world is in turmoil and turmoil, but the emperor's rule has always been as firm as a rock!
Of course, these things have nothing to do with him for the time being, because Zheng Xiaoming has already jumped out of Luoyang and headed for Donghai County.

The current prefect of Donghai County is Jiang Pei.

But who the East China Sea prefect is now, anyway, it doesn't matter anymore.Because as soon as Zheng Xiaoming, the new prefect, came to take office, the former prefect would definitely leave.

Although Jiang Pei's face was full of resentment and unwillingness...he came to East China Sea to take office in the second year of Zhongping.He had only been in the mere two years before leaving, and the position of prefect bought for [-] million yuan has not been paid back!

It's a pity that the arms can't twist the thighs, and the current authority of the Han court is still there.It is also impossible for him to drive Zheng Xiaoming away directly and refuse to hand over the position of prefect.

What's more, Zheng Xiaoming brought five hundred soldiers to take up the post, so Jiang Pei had no choice but to leave the post very unwillingly.

It's just that he didn't do anything well, and before leaving, he simply planned to move the entire county treasury away.

However, he forgot that in a place like Donghai County, there are many powerful families who control the government.Where is it so easy for him to evacuate the treasury?
As soon as he started, he was stopped by the local officials in the county guard's mansion, so he had to leave in despair.

When Zheng Xiaoming rushed to Tan County, the prefecture of Donghai County, to hear the story, he was shocked and astonished.What surprised me was that Jiang Pei was so bold, dare to do such a thing?Do you really think that Zheng Xiaoming is easy to bully?

Zheng Xiaoming brought soldiers and horses, if he heard the news, he would definitely send troops to stop him and take back all the money, not to mention the good fruit of Jiang Pei.

At the same time, Zheng Xiaoming was also secretly frightened by the local officials here in Donghai.These people dared to directly block the resigned prefect from acting. Of course, it can be said that they love their hometown, but it can also be seen that these people are so powerful that they don't have much respect for the prefect!
But this kind of thing seems to be too normal!
Nowadays, the officials in the prefectures all over the country are the children of local powerful families.

Among other things, count the well-known powerful families in Donghai County, Wang, Qi, Zang, Yan, Mi, Zhu, Zhuang, Guan, Bao, Yin, Xu, He Surname, Surname Cao, Surname Meng, Surname Yu, Surname Liu, Surname Chen, etc...

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
These people are local snakes, and each family is deeply rooted in the local area. How can they be afraid of you, a prefect who is about to leave?
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaoming somewhat had a headache.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared before coming here.

Now this big man, no matter where you are an official, you have to deal with these powerful people.

If you can't subdue them, you will definitely not be able to sit still as an official!

But you still have to appease them, without the cooperation of these local snakes, your order would not even be passed on to the county court.There are also taxation and other things, all of which require their cooperation.

But Zheng Xiaoming has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and he is really not afraid of these local snakes making things difficult for him.The big deal is that the two sides will fight hard!

This time Zheng Xiaoming was in power for the first time independently, and his subordinates brought a large number of talents from Nanyang to help him.

Coupled with the manpower trained by Zheng Xiaoming himself in Qixian County, these people can read and do arithmetic, and are ready to handle any official documents and political affairs.

Plus five hundred private soldiers who followed him to fight the Yellow Turban in Nanyang and the Qianghu in Liangzhou.

His subordinates are both civil and military, and he really doesn't believe that the local officials in Donghai can wrestle with him!

At this time, a man named Deng Pi came out and reminded Zheng Xiaoming: "Ming Gong, now that you are in Xuzhou, do you want to visit Mr. Bashi first?"

This Deng Pi came from the Nanyang Deng family, and like that Yin Wei, he was a young talent of Deng's generation.At this moment, I can't help but remind Zheng Xiaoming!
At this time, the governor of Xuzhou was Ba Zhi, so Deng Pi called him Ba Shijun.

Zheng Xiaoming sneered when he heard the words: "It's only six hundred shi, it's fine if he doesn't come to visit me. Do you still need me to visit him?"

Everyone was stunned. You must know that the struggle between the governor and the prefect has lasted for hundreds of years.

Although the governor was originally a supervisory position, the administrativeization of any local supervisory position is inevitable.The governor of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually invaded the power of the prefects in various places, and even gradually became the Shangguan of the prefect, which has gradually formed a trend.

Zheng Xiaoming is going to fight hard with the governor of Xuzhou, I'm afraid it's not good!

But thinking about Zheng Xiaoming's background and backing, he suddenly felt that he was nothing compared to a mere governor of Xuzhou!

Don't visit without visiting!

Compared with the governor of Xuzhou, I just don't know what the attitude of the local powerful families in Donghai County is towards Zheng Xiaoming?

······
······
There are many powerful families in Donghai County, but the largest family in Donghai County should belong to the Liu family and the Wang family.

The Liu family Donghai came from the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was a descendant of Liu Qiang, the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, King Gong of the East China Sea.Liu Qiang was originally the crown prince.After his mother, Empress Guo, was abolished, she was relegated to the title of King of the East China Sea.There are many descendants who inherit the king and become a marquis, so they have a large family.

And in this era, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an, who was born in the Liu family in the East China Sea, have now become the governor of Youzhou.

Then there is the Donghai Wang family, who lived in the northeast of Tanxian County for generations, and is also a local big family. The most famous person today is Wang Yan and Wang Jingxing.By the way, this person has another name, I believe friends at station b must be familiar with it.That is, I have never seen such a brazen person——Wang Lang!
