Chapter 448 What should I do if the princess hates me?
Chapter [-] What should I do if the princess hates me?
When watching The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we focus on the good ministers and counselors in the Three Kingdoms, as well as the unparalleled fierce generals in the Xiaoao battlefield, such as Zhao Zilong and Changbanpo who entered seven times, Gan Ning Baiqi kicked Cao Ying, and the battle of Guandu was less than Cao Cao. Shengduo, the Battle of Chibi, and the Fire Alliance.

When looking at the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, we also pay attention to the eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as the four fierce, the four unique, the thirteen heroes, and the thirteen stick monks who rescued the king of Qin, and Li Shimin, who rode a thousand horses and broke a hundred thousand, killing the Quartet At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the 36 roads against the king, and the 72 roads of dust and smoke, fought with each other year after year, killing a lot of people, but no one remembered that this was killing people, not pigs.

In the fifth year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (AD 609), the population statistics of the Sui Dynasty showed that there were 890 households in the country at that time, with a total of 540 people.However, when Li Tang was established, until the 950th year of Zhenguan, when it was completely unified, there were a total of 13 households, with a total of 870, 1000 people.But in the early years of Wude, the Tang Dynasty had less than 35 million households and 680 million people.

From the fifth year of Daye to the seventh year of Wude, in just 15 years, there were 600 million people, and only 8401 million people remained.Five out of six of them have disappeared.

Of course, this is a heavy topic.But it is also an unavoidable topic.

Closer to home, the old farmer choked up, and told Chen Ying eloquently.

It turned out that when Wang Shichong wiped out the forces of Liu Wuzhou in Hedong as early as Li Tang, Wang Shichong realized that Li Tang's target must be himself.So as early as last autumn, Wang Shichong began to organize the army to prepare for war. Naturally, if he wants to organize the army, he needs a lot of food and strong men.

Therefore, in the end, these taxes and young men fell on the people of the Central Plains.Wang Shichong ordered all states and counties to count and check the existing soldiers, check and verify the household registration, and only one adult should be left in each household, and all others should be conscripted into the army, hoping to increase the number of infantry to 50.

Zheng Guoda Situ, Ren Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Nayan, and Chen Guogong Duan Da advised Wang Shichong, saying that the people's lives are poor and the recruitment of soldiers is not in accordance with the law. Thirteen political affairs that were not suitable for the current situation were stated.

Wang Shichong was also concerned about chaos. After calming down, he read the letter of advice in detail and carefully, agreed with Duan Da's opinion, and handed it over to the minister for extensive discussion.

Most of what Duan Da said was adopted, so it was changed to a system of five out of three draws, and ordered all counties and counties to send Ding Zhuang to Luoyang City for training.Although Duan Da's opinion has greatly lightened the heavy burden on the people, the burden is still very heavy.Almost all common people are not spared. Wang Shichong asked officials to collect [-]% of the tax, and they dared to collect [-]%, or even [-]%.Not to mention strong men, even strong women are not spared.

As the saying goes, there are countermeasures above and policies below.When the central government's policies are applied to the localities, the localities will become Gali. In order to avoid this hopeless military service, the people will bribe local officials. It is common to exchange a large amount of property for exemption from military service.However, as a large number of ordinary people pay bribes, the appetite of local officials is also growing.

They dare to charge three to five thousand dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars, for things that can be done with three to five hundred dollars.The people have no money, and they don’t want their sons or daughters to be expropriated. They only need to sell their house and land. This old farmer has three sons. According to Wang Shichong’s conscription policy, all three sons must be recruited. But the youngest son just got married, and his wife was about to give birth again.

For this reason, the old farmer only had to bribe the local officials. In order to exempt his youngest son from military service, the old farmer sold all the 54 mu of land in the family, and received a total of 320 yuan, all of which were given to the local officials.

Chen Ying's lungs exploded when he heard this.Chen Ying, who was a man in his second life, hated corruption very much. In his later life, he was a poor dick. Although he didn't like it, he could only eat cold salad.But it is different now, he is now the comfort envoy of Henan, and he is still the comfort envoy of Yushi (Censor Zhongcheng) with the title of governor. He has no control over other places, at least in the eighteen counties of Henan County, he That is, the top leaders, county officials can be dismissed on the spot, as for officials below the seventh rank, they can directly report to Chang'an for execution on the spot.Officials below the fourth grade can report to Chang'an and be dismissed on the spot.Even if he is a first- and second-rank official, he can also impeach him.

In fact, Chen Ying's official position is the inspector of the eight prefectures in the legendary opera, but Chen Ying is only one prefecture.However, Chen Ying is a little different from the Bafu inspector, because he is the right servant of Xingtai Shangshu, and also serves as the deputy capital marshal of the marching army. He controls the military power. Same.

A pacifier without a gun can only play tricks and tell the imperial court. If both parties have backers, this will be a bad debt that cannot be cleared up.

But Chen Ying is leading the army, and to fight against him is to give him an excuse.It is possible to directly lead troops to wipe out, at least in the eighteen counties of Henan, the major families and landlords, there is no one who can wrestle with Chen Ying.

Chen Ying was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Following Chen Ying's order, from Shan County, to Taolin, and then to Xin'an and other counties, whether it is the county magistrate, the county guard, the county captain, and the long history, Liucao affairs, and county captains, they immediately dropped the things at hand. Work, rush to Xin'an County, accept Chen Ying's summons.

In order to prevent these officials from protecting each other and deceiving others, Chen Ying dispatched Guo Luo and Zhou Qing with the Tigers to quickly disperse to various counties and counties to investigate the situation.In addition, Chen Ying also set up reporting mailboxes and interview envoys in various counties. It is not a problem if he does not know how to write pleadings. Chen Ying's interview envoys have full authority to accept unjust, false, and wrong cases, and give the people a chance to uphold justice and complain.

The most luxurious house in Xin'an County is actually not the county government office, but a courtyard of the Zheng family in Xingyang.When Chen Ying occupied Xin'an, Zheng Rentai, the general of Youwuwei, had already ordered people to clean up the other courtyard of the Zheng family in Xin'an, and sent his confidant Zheng Anchun to invite Chen Ying to enter. Compared with the mansions in Luoyang and Luoyang, Xin'an is considered magnificent.

Chen Ying looked at Zheng's house, nodding his head from time to time.Zheng Anchun was secretly delighted. As one of the seven sects and five wangs of the world, the Zheng family was actually not only Xingyang, but almost the entire Central Plains, which belonged to the Zheng family's sphere of influence. Among the eighteen counties in Henan County, the county magistrates or county magistrates of thirteen counties , is not a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, or a former official of the Zheng family, which shows how powerful the Zheng family in Xingyang is.

This time, Chen Ying appeased Henan and became the number one military officer in Henan County. Naturally, the Zheng family of Xingyang would win him over if they could. Seeing Du Shanguo winking at Chen Ying from time to time, Chen Ying understood, and said to Zheng Anchun: "Henan The people are still in such poverty. I represent the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor to appease Henan, and I cannot enjoy the blessings alone. I will not live in this mansion. I am a soldier and I am used to living in military camps. Although the city is prosperous, I am really happy. I can’t get used to it. Just find me a strong house in a place with convenient transportation in your city. I can just sleep casually tonight, and I have to go out of the city tomorrow. Now that I’m here, I have to find a way to get the parents and brothers in Henan out of poverty , I am really uncomfortable seeing them now."

When Zheng Anchun heard this, he was very surprised.

Chen Ying is from the Hou Mo Chen family. Although Hou Mo Chen has long since declined, it is undeniable that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Xin'an Zheng's other courtyard is good, Zheng Anchun is still worried that Chen Ying will look down on this house. After all, Chen Yingsheng In Chang'an, growing up in Chang'an, and coming from a powerful family, he must not be tired of eating and eating.

But, unexpectedly, Chen Ying refused to live in Zheng's other courtyard.Zheng Anchun is also a person who is good at observing words and demeanor, and is slick in all aspects. After a little thought, he understood Chen Ying's intentions.He pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Chen Anfu came to Henan. As the landlord of Henan, if the Zheng family doesn't do what is appropriate for the landlord, is it the way to treat guests?"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Director Zheng is wrong."

Zheng Anchun was taken aback.

Chen Ying went on to say: "Henan here is not owned by the Zheng family, but Henan is owned by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, the shore of the land is the land of the king, and the ministers who lead the land are the king's ministers. Does the Zheng family still want to split the soil and become king? You can't eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk indiscriminately, if you talk too much or make mistakes, it's your Zheng family who caused the disaster."

Chen Ying's words were soft but hard, and the threat was very obvious.

If Zheng Anchun can't hear Chen Ying's subconscious, then all these years of his life will be in vain.Zheng Anchun bowed and said, "Anchun would like to be taught!"

Chen Ying was actually very dissatisfied with Zheng's actions at this time.Because the Zheng family in Xingyang is too greedy, after a preliminary investigation, only in the eighteen counties of Henan County, the Zheng family in Xingyang controls more than [-] fertile fields, almost one-third of the entire fertile land in Henan County. It is Zheng's private property.

This is actually not a big deal. After all, there are not no landlords who own hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of fertile land. It's just that the Zheng family in Xingyang's food is too ugly.Wang Shichong conscripted soldiers last year, beyond this opportunity, the Zheng family in Xingyang colluded with local officials to squeeze the people, lower land prices, or lend usury, or take by force, or plunder. Liangtian, eat it in your mouth.

The people whose families were broken up because of these people don't know how many people are there.

Chen Ying walked around Xin'an County, and found that there was not even a decent house in the entire county except for Zheng's house. After setting up the big camp, Chen Ying placed the Xingyuan of the Henan appeasement envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the big camp.

At night, Xu Jingzong came in a hurry, saw Chen Ying, and asked worriedly: "The general is going to attack the Zheng family of Xingyang?"

Chen Ying was slightly taken aback: "Why do you think so?"

Xu Jingzong said seriously: "General, don't worry about what Jingzong thinks, the key is whether the general really attacked the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Is there a problem?"

Seeing Chen Ying's attitude, Xu Jingzong knew Chen Ying's attitude.

Xu Jingzong's voice suddenly rose an octave, he stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, and said: "It's absolutely impossible, you must never forget that the Crown Princess is also the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, if you openly deal with the Zheng family , what will the princess think?"

Xu Jingzong also seemed to have poured cold water on him, but he did not expect that Chen Ying would flatly reject his kindness.

Now that Xu Jingzong and Chen Ying are both prosperous and prosperous, he said worriedly: "The crown princess hates the general, so what should I do?"

PS: Being young and old is a tragedy, with constant physical problems. The update will be later today, and there will be more later.
