Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 364 0359 [Government Seven]

Yangzhou, Yundang Valley, here is also checking the fields.

Wen Wuguang directly handed over the situation of his own land property to the officials in charge.

And those officials also knew that Wen Wuguang's daughter had already married Zhu Guoxiang as a concubine.They didn't dare to check too hard, and only conducted spot checks on the field records provided by Wen Wuguang, and gave up if there were no problems with spot checks on more than ten fields.

Zhu Guoxiang repeatedly emphasized that no one is allowed to show favoritism, nor can he give face to any rich family, but if he really meets someone with a deep background, how can the handling staff dare to be serious?

There are more real children!
For example, the inspector Fangtian from other places.

Jin'an Jie, courtesy name Yanheng, was born in Xiuning, Shezhou, and his family was severely harmed by Fang La.

Historically, this king was a censor in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was an official who only dealt with things but not people, and offended almost all factions—including two consecutive emperors.

He impeached Han Shizhong's son; Qin Hui's elder brother, he impeached; Ren Boyu's son, he impeached;

He was dismissed from office for 18 years for offending Qin Hui.

After Song Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, Jin Anjie even impeached himself!
He said, Your Majesty, since you came to the throne, the officials who have been impeached have been punished regardless of whether they are civil or military.There are also many people impeaching me, why don't you deal with me?Now that I am impeaching myself, if His Majesty does not deal with it, it will be difficult to quell public opinion at home and abroad.

This is the fighter among the trolls, and even sprayed himself when he became ruthless.

When the officials began to check the properties of Yundang Valley, Jin Anjie observed quietly, and then immediately went to Hanzhong Fucheng, and said to Zhu Guoxiang, "Your Excellency wants to take the world?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer the world."

Jin Anjie said: "Late students often listen to people's words, those who regard the world as their home, do not regard the family as private. If they are good at clearing the fields, it will be difficult to convince the people. If they cannot obey the people in Hanzhong, it will be difficult to convince the people in the world."

"This statement is reasonable, please explain clearly." Zhu Guoxiang smiled.

Jin Anjie pointed to the east: "Mrs. Wen's natal family is in Yundang Valley, which occupies quite a large area, and the officials can manage the land within two days. Isn't this selfish?"

Zhu Guoxiang put away his smile: "Is this really the case?"

Jin Anjie cupped his hands and said, "It's absolutely true!"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I will write a handwritten letter, and you will be responsible for checking the acres of Yundang Valley. As for the previous officials, they will be dealt with according to the rules."

Jin Anjie took the lead, and I was very happy.

If Zhu Guoxiang protects the father-in-law, Jin Anjie will immediately return to his hometown and live in seclusion (no one stops him).

Now Zhu Guoxiang is stern and selfless, but Jin Anjie has made up his mind, and he will officially take office after clearing the fields.

Jin Anjie took Zhu Guoxiang's handwriting and went to Xingdao County, Yangzhou to gather officials, and rushed to Yundanggu: "Mr. Wen, I have offended you!"

Wen Wuguang couldn't hold back, and returned to the study with a cold snort.

His wife, Su Shi, didn't give her any good looks. She followed her husband to the room and complained: "This Zhu Guoxiang, who hasn't become an emperor yet, turned his back on anyone. I'm afraid my daughter won't be favored by him."

Wen Wuguang criticized his wife: "This is what can do great things."

"Then why did you put on such a bad face just now?" Su Shi asked back.

Wen Wuguang said: "Am I shameless? He does his important work, and I want my face. These two things must be discussed separately."

Su stopped talking, thinking that her husband was mentally ill.

Wen Wuguang said: "Go and call Dalang."

"No!" Su Shi was still sulking.

Wen Wuguang can't control his wife, so he can only go out to find his son by himself, and Wen Luan is staring at Jin'an Jie Qingtian at the moment.

"Da Lang, come and talk!" Wen Wuguang shouted.

Wen Luan trotted over and said angrily, "Father, I'll just watch them measure and see if this guy can measure flowers."

Wen Wuguang criticized: "Even if there is a discrepancy, it is nothing more than a few cents more and more taxes. If a man is alive, he will only stare at that fraction of the land? What are you doing!"

Wen Luan was a little confused: "Father, what is the truth you want to say?"

Wen Wuguang said in a low voice: "I'm an old man, and I aspire to enjoy the mountains and forests. I will never be an official in this life. You are different. You are only in your thirties. It is not what you should do to live in the countryside."

"Father, what's the matter, isn't it that I'm not allowed to take the imperial examination to be an official?" Wen Luan asked.

Wen Wuguang said: "Being an official in the Song Dynasty, the salary you received was all illegal money. Your brother-in-law is different. He can do great things. You should go find an official position. Yu Gong can bless the people; Yu Privately, it can revitalize the Wen family."

Wen Luan said: "Two months ago, my father was still scolding my brother-in-law for being ambitious, how can he say now that he can do great things?"

"What nonsense? If you are told to go, you can go!" Wen Wuguang said impatiently.

Wen Luan scratched his head, stopped staring at the official Zhang Tian, ​​packed his luggage and ran to Zhu Guoxiang to ask for an official.

……

Yangzhou Academy.

There are fewer and fewer scholars in the school, and the whole Hanzhong is occupied by rebels, and scholars can't take the imperial examination, so why study hard?
Some students returned to the countryside to watch.

Some students have already obtained official positions.

Some students became Fangtian inspectors.

Today, there are less than 30 people who are still studying in the school, and most of them have the surname Min.

A domestic servant ran to the academy out of breath: "The general has entered Chengdu City and sent troops to sweep the whole area of ​​Chengdu Fu Road. Mr. Jinglue issued an order a few days ago to change Chengdu Mansion to Yizhou Mansion. Between Hanzhong Mansion and Chengdu Mansion, A new Brazilian government was established. There were too many bandits in Lizhou killing many people, and all industries were depressed. )."

"Chengdu won like this?" Min Wenwei felt very nonsense.

Chengdu is a big city with a high city and deep pools, so why should it be passed down?Even if only the residents of the city are recruited, the officials can still pull 10 people to defend the city.

However, if you read more history, you will know that this is normal operation.

Throughout the dynasties, the troops in the Chengdu Plain were often pulled to guard Jianmen, Zitong, and Guanghan.Once these places are breached, no matter how many soldiers are left in Chengdu, there will basically be no fierce resistance.

The reason is very simple, Jianmen and other places are natural dangers, if they can be breached, it means that they have reached the end of the road.A series of defeats were reported back to Chengdu, and the hearts and morale of the people fell to the extreme. The people in the Chengdu Plain did not want to fight for a long time.

Min Wenwei asked: "Are there appointments for the chiefs of the three prefectures?"

After Zhu Guoxiang came up with administrative reforms, the prefect was equal to the way before, and the prefect's power was only slightly inferior to that of the transfer envoy.

Previously, there was only one Hanzhong mansion, which was led by Zhu Guoxiang himself.

The servant replied: "There is an appointment. The prefect of Hanzhong is Liu Zhen, the prefect of Brazil is Zhang Gen, the prefect of Hechuan is Xu Fuyan, and the prefect of Chengdu is Jingyue (Gao Jingshan)."

Min Wenwei was surprised: "Zhang Gen, Liu Yu, and Xu Fuyan are all thieves? Then who is Jingyue?"

These appointments are outrageous, Xu Fuyan belongs to the Cai Party!
In fact, Xu Fuyan, the Cai party, was forcibly labeled by others.Because he was proficient in "Book of Changes" and yin and yang, he was first appreciated by Song Huizong and became the emperor's close minister. Cai Jingcai took the opportunity to win promotion and was pushed out and relegated by Wang Fu.

Liu Yu was a capable official who offended Wang Fu and Tong Guan, and was pushed out by Tong Guan and demoted to Hanzhong.

Needless to say, Zhang Gen, Zhu Ming's father-in-law was demoted because he offended the emperor.

Including Gao Jingshan, everyone is capable.

Xu Fuyan and Gao Jingshan are a little bit greedy, but not too greedy, and most of the time they are ordered to collect money.

As for Zhang Gen and Liu Yan, they are truly upright officials, and they don't even want the customary gray income.Turn over the gray income that you can get as normal taxes, so as to reduce the burden on the people under your rule.

These four newly appointed prefects have decades of experience in governing the people, and they are really not comparable to the young people in Fu Xingzhong.

Min Wenwei hurriedly went down the mountain to summon the clansmen, and said: "Mr. Yuanzhang walks the way for the heavens and pleads for the people. Now that the third of the Chuanxia Fourth Road has been closed, the violence of the Song Dynasty must not last long. My Min family should also obey the destiny and let the children of the clan do it." Officials, if you really can’t do it, you can be a subordinate first. The new dynasty was founded, and the officials are still unclear, so even if you are an official, you can be promoted quickly.”

The clan elders were speechless, and some even couldn't help rolling their eyes.

Three months ago, Min Wenwei privately scolded Zhu Guoxiang as a wolf-hearted and ungrateful person, saying that he was a Zhu thief if he kept his mouth shut, and he strictly prohibited the children of the Min family from being thieves.

Two months ago, Min Wenwei still called Zhu thief, but he stopped talking about wolf ambition.

A month ago, Min Wenwei changed his name to Zhu Xianggong, and the thieves also became rebels, but they are still on the sidelines.

Now that the day lily is cold, I said that Lord Yuanzhang was doing justice for the sky, and asked the children of the Min family to rush to do it.

Min Wenwei added: "I have to write a letter quickly and call Twelve Lang (Min Zishun) back. Twelve Lang and General Zhu (Zhu Ming) are close friends. What's the point of him being a small official in the Song Dynasty? He will be punished when he returns to Sichuan. Reuse promotion!"

Finally, a clan elder couldn't help but say: "Third Brother, didn't you complain before that Zhu Thief affected Twelve Lang's career?"

Min Wenwei resolutely denied: "Where did I say such a word? When General Zhu came to the academy, I knew at a glance that he was an extraordinary scholar. Every time he said something, he would shock the world, and he would be convinced by his knowledge. Wealth is very high, and it cannot be compared with ordinary people. Lord Yuanzhang and the general raised an incident in Yangzhou, this day gave the Min family a great opportunity, and our Min family will surely prosper from now on!"

The elders of the clan were full of resentment. Some people wanted to send their children and grandchildren to join the Zhu family, but Min Wenwei blocked it all the time.

The best time has passed, what's the use of saying this now?

Min Wenwei also solemnly said: "The government checks the land, and all branches of the Min family must cooperate wholeheartedly. It is not allowed to lose the big for a few acres of land. Rent and interest reduction must also be done according to Yuan Zhang's instructions. Not only can Yuan Zhang If you are favored by the public, it will also benefit my Min family's reputation in every way!"

The clan elders sneered one by one, after listening to this guy's talk, they went home to make preparations.

Walking up and down the room, Min Wenwei actually began to envy the Zheng family in his heart.

That old guy from the Zheng family really had some bad luck to marry his granddaughter to General Zhu as his concubine, and gave birth to an heir early.

Sigh, why didn't my Min family ever think about marrying their daughter?
