After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Seeing that Shen Qingjun had misunderstood, Qin Shuzuo waved his hand quickly: "The Commander-in-Chief has misunderstood someone."

"I came here not to ask for food from the governor, but to ask the presiding officer to ask the Northland family to donate..."

"These 600 million stones of disaster relief food need to be donated by aristocratic families? Are you asking me to preside over it?" Shen Qingjun said: "The envoy to support the people really thinks highly of me. I just give it for nothing. So much food does not have enough benefits. Why do those aristocratic families donate it? ?”

Although the Northland has experienced civil strife, the big and powerful families have not been damaged. They all belong to Pixiu. They can only go in and out, and the meat is in their stomachs. It would be very difficult for them to cut the meat, let alone force it.

As for Jia, Mi, and Huang Zhiliu who were coerced by Zhang Yuancheng to serve, they were just rural rich people. If he didn't want to find two retainers for himself, Shen Qingjun wouldn't even take a look at them.

"Of course, the imperial court can't get food just by making empty promises, so your majesty decided to open a subject in the north to recruit scholars, divided into liberal arts and martial arts. Naturally, the liberal arts will be presided over by someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This martial arts will trouble the general."

"So that's it. The Qing Army will never refuse the responsibility of presiding over the military competition." In fact, the original food gap in the North was not that big, but didn't Emperor Shao Wu want to prepare for war with Donghu?

As a result, the 300 million yuan of disaster relief food planned to be shipped to the Northland was gone, and all civil and military measures were taken.

"I wonder what your Majesty's regulations are?" The imperial court asked aristocratic families to donate food. Since they said they would donate, they would not repay it. But if they donated food, what would Wei use to make up for it?Official position!

So in order to raise food, Emperor Shao Wu began to sell officials and titles in the north. No, he was holding civil and military examinations to select talents for the country!

"The donation of food starts from 100 dan, and one of Yin's disciples will be admitted to the official position of ninth rank... With [-] million dan, each of Yin's disciples will be appointed as a fifth-rank official. On the one million stones, there will be a gift from the lord. This time, those who are Yin officials below the seventh rank will serve in the local government. Those above the seventh rank can enter the center, and each family is limited to two Yin children!"

Shen Qingjun understood why each family was limited to two Yin people. This was because it was necessary to exchange official positions for food and to limit the power of the family. If there was no rule limiting each family to two Yin people, these aristocratic families would be able to donate food to Donate all the county officials to become your own children!

Shen Qingjun didn't find it strange, because the aristocratic family has such strength!

"That's reasonable." Shen Qingjun nodded and agreed.

"The second thing is that I have the audacity to borrow someone from the governor..." Qin Shuzuo said to Shen Qingjun. The look in his eyes seemed to be very sincere in serving the people and the public.

"I was ordered to inspect the Northland. In this major disaster this year, in addition to the poor harvest, there were also many merchants who hoarded food and raised the price of food. Because of these people, my disaster relief work had little effect, and civil unrest also occurred one after another. .”

"I just wanted to borrow the prestige of the governor and several thousand soldiers. I had already raised [-] shi of grain, but during the transportation, it was robbed by a group of robbers. The state and county soldiers were unable to be used, and there were no elite soldiers at hand... It was inevitable. I still have to suffer this loss."

Why was Qin Shuzuo so humble when borrowing troops? Because naturally he was not borrowing Phoenix Guards, but Shen Qingjun's private army.

Because of the Phoenix Guard, Shen Qingjun would not dare to lend it out without Emperor Shao Wu's order, and he could not lend it out, but for the Flying Cavalry Army, Shen Qingjun could make the decision!

Shen Qingjun stood and thought quietly: The two biggest rebel leaders in the North were wiped out, and he would have at least a month and a half to recuperate in Wencheng County!What is the purpose of Qin Shuzuo borrowing troops?

First, bandits are still rampant in various parts of the North. Without military suppression and protection, how can we ensure the safety of food and food roads?Without soldiers, most of the food would not reach the affected people.

Second, Qin Shuzuo not only needs soldiers to deter gangsters, but also some greedy businessmen and profit-seeking officials who also need the army to suppress them!
Since ancient times, disaster relief has been an excellent opportunity for some officials to enrich their own pockets, because relief and disaster relief are inseparable from officials, and officials have always been good at bullying others and enriching their own pockets... greedy money and food, and annexation of land are even more It's gay...

Emperor Shao Wu also had a deep understanding of the character of officials, and from the very beginning he conferred the title of Qin Shu to assist the people, granting him the power to kill officials below the fifth rank.

But if you want to kill someone, how can you do it without holding the handle of the knife in your hand? Aren't you afraid that someone will kill you instead?
So Qin Shuzuo borrowed troops probably for these two things. Shen Qingjun thought about it and said, 'Both things are not very dangerous. The old men in his flying cavalry army can do it! '

There is little danger, but there are also benefits!Although the Qin family is not a wealthy family in the north, Qin Shuzuo is the Minister of Household Affairs and a high official in the imperial court. He can get Qin Shuzuo's favor, which is worth it!
Therefore, this soldier can be borrowed!
Shen Qingjun is now thinking more and more about interests, and he is acting like a master!
In fact, Shen Qingjun was right. Qin Shuzuo borrowed troops for these two things, especially those disaster relief officials, who often violated the law. Although he had the power to kill officials below the fifth rank, he did not have elite soldiers at hand. Touch a hair of these people,

He was fed up with this feeling of frustration, so he asked the shameless Shen Qingjun to borrow troops.

Of course, Qin Shuzuo didn't borrow troops to kill all the corrupt people in the world. This was impossible. Anyone who could reach his position knew that there were countless corrupt officials. He just wanted them to restrain themselves...

While Shen Qingjun was thinking about it, Qin Shuzuo asked expectantly, "What do you think the governor wants?"

Shen Qingjun agreed in his heart, but still looked hesitant and asked: "I can lend the envoy five thousand flying cavalry troops, but how can I explain this to Your Majesty?"

Seeing this, Qin Shuzuo shouted in his heart that there was something wrong, and showed a gentle smile: "Don't worry, I will write a letter to explain to your majesty, and your majesty has secretly agreed to this matter!"

"Oh! Your Majesty already knows?" Shen Qingjun looked at Qin Shuzuo and asked:
"Exactly..." Qin Shuzuo asked again, "I wonder what the Governor thinks?"

"Since the purpose of entrusting you with borrowing troops is to serve the people and the public good, it would be wrong for me to shirk it any further."

It was not until noon that Shen Qingjun and Qin Shuzuo worked out a detailed plan and finalized the candidates for the borrowed troops.
As for Qin Shuzuo's use of these five thousand soldiers in this way, Shen Qingjun is not worried, because she believes that those who can be the Minister of Household Affairs with their own abilities have a sense of proportion in their hearts!

After chatting with Qin Shuzuo, Shen Qingjun met with Fang Jiwei at the Temporary Governor's Mansion. Liu He, Duan Chun, and officers above the Phoenix Army Camp...even Wei Wen also participated even with injuries.

When everyone had arrived, Shen Qingjun raised the memorial in his hand and said, "This is the memorial written by the Governor to thank His Majesty. Everyone, please read it! If there is no problem, I will report it to Your Majesty!"

Shen Qingjun handed the folder to Wei Wen first. When Wei Wen saw that the first one was about her heroic deeds in fighting Zhang Yuancheng, she was so happy that she couldn't help but have other ideas, so she hurriedly said that she had no objection.

She passed the zhezi to Liu He. She did this because she believed that Shen Qingjun would not treat her badly!
