Chapter 437

In the end, it was proved that it used the thousand-character text as a substitute code, and each character was compared with a common Chinese character. Gou Er should carry a special thousand-character text as a decoding book.

"Can it be deciphered?"

"Of course we can," Zhang Xingpei said confidently, "but there are a few prerequisites. We must have people who are proficient in Chinese in the Ming Dynasty. We must know the language habits of the people at that time, so that we can calculate the word frequency in a ciphertext; we must also have enough The ciphertext is for reference, the more ciphertext, the easier it is to compare the word frequency..."

"All the current ciphertexts are just these names." Mu Min said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"It's really hard to say something like this." Zhang Xingpei's attitude became pessimistic all at once. There were only names, but no coherent sentences, so it was impossible to check whether the deciphering was accurate through the semantics of the context.

"I'll try again," Zhang Xingpei said, "but I don't know when the results will come out."

"Okay, I can come up with a few names." Lin Baiguang had no choice but to do so.

However, based on the names they already knew and the information deduced from the content of the document, they got hold of a batch of Lingao's names, and successfully learned what they had done in collusion with Gou Dagou Er.Lin Baiguang was very excited by these news - this added weight to their "Ming Pi Ao Xin" project which will start in autumn.

The so-called "Mingpi Aoxin" is to use the opportunity of the imminent collection of autumn taxes to infiltrate the county government.Purge the lower-level officials and replace them with their own people, so as to control the specific county administration.Completely empty Wu Mingjin and others.

After obtaining the actual control of the county government, and then using the big brand of the county government, the policies of the crossing group can be carried out openly--Cao Cao is relying on the emperor to order the princes, and the crossing group is "taking the county magistrate to order the county people" , the scale is different, the reason is different.This is the wishful thinking of the Executive Committee.

The softness towards the county government and the win over local intellectuals are just paving the way for this plan, paralyzing the resistance of the local people and reducing the groups that may cause confrontation.

But these are only carrots, and the necessary stick must be prepared.Engaging in "black materials" is also the most effective stick.Not only can smashing people into darkness, but it can also make people notorious. This effect is much more effective in ancient society that is relatively "shame-conscious" than in modern time and space.

The Social Work Department of the General Administration of Political Science and Security has been producing black materials for several months—the sources of black materials are various, some of which were collected from the local area by the social research team, and some were learned from the interrogation of the captives. There is no shortage of exposing materials secretly sent by anonymous people-many people put their hopes of revenge on the time-traveling group.

There are also those who are not anonymous, such as Zhang Youfu, a shabby hukou, who is an expert in dealing with black materials. If you want to say that except for the Gou brothers, he is the dirtiest butt in the whole county, but he is extremely specialized in whistleblowers.During the consultation meeting, he secretly sent dirty materials about Liu Dalin to Xi Yazhou several times.These black materials were transferred from Xi Yazhou to the General Administration of Political Science and Security. After Ran Yao looked at them, they were almost all of Liu Dalin's cursing remarks on the time-traveling group and how he actively planned to attack the time-traveling group.

Then he provided a list of the gentry who participated in the attack and crossing group and their speeches and deeds.Although Ran Yao looked down on him after seeing it, he had to say that he was a "talent".So Zhang Youfu became one of the guest ministers of the Political Security Bureau.

Over the past few months, I have collected a lot of black material, ranging from colluding with bandits and pirates, forcing tenants to death, raping maidservants, to stealing cattle, picking ashes, seducing widows, and so on. There are really quite a few, and Ran Yao files them all by name regardless of whether they are true or false.

The reason why Lin Baiguang is so interested in Gou Er’s black account that he has recovered this time is that besides he wants to know about Gou’s family’s network in Qiongzhou Prefecture, his purpose is to increase the amount of black material—can’t the social work department just take the limelight? .

Lin Baiguang reported to Ran Yao the materials in his hands.The next day, Xiong Buyou received an order: he was asked to go to the county government to do something immediately.

Xiong Buyou went to see Wang Zhaomin as usual.If the county magistrate is required to handle matters, it is quickest and most effective to see his master, because the official has a lot to say, and it is difficult to bargain specifically, so it is more convenient for the master to come forward.

Wang Zhaomin could not see the others, but "Master Xiong" had to see him, so he hurriedly ordered someone to come in.I muttered to myself, this month's allowance has just been delivered, and this master Xiong suddenly visited, I don't know why.

The matter was not serious, but asked the county government to issue an official document: announcing that Gou Dagou and Ergou had joined the pirates, and that "the pirates fought among themselves, and the whole village was killed." This is not difficult. Although the county government has not officially issued an official document, internal This is already done.Wang Zhaomin thought to himself, these thieves are a little bit more sensible, knowing that "the name is not right and the words are not right", and they have to use the authority of the Ming Dynasty to rectify their names.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly happy, as long as you recognize the authority of the Daming government, since you want to use the two brands of Lingao County Government and Wu Mingjin, we can negotiate terms.He still doesn't know the idea of ​​the Time Traveling Group instead.

The second is to ask the county government, Xingwen Guangdong Academy, to depose Gou Chengxuan, the son of Gou Er, as a student for the same crime.At the same time, a sea arrest document was issued in the county to hunt down Gou Er and his son.

Wang Zhaomin pondered for a moment, these three things are not difficult to say.Except that the writing is a little more troublesome for Guangdong Xuetai—that is, it is a little more troublesome, Xuetai will definitely not be inaccurate.Two other things were even easier.It's just that he has to think carefully about what kind of medicine this Australian can sell in his gourd.

A few days ago, he had heard that the Australians had suddenly come to Gou Er's house and made a big commotion.Afterwards, when the yamen servants went to seal the door again, they found that the well in the backyard had been washed dry—did Gou Er hide something in the well?Otherwise, why would the Australians wash the wells dry?

Wang Zhaomin couldn't figure it out, they were almost one-way transparent to the Time Travel Group now: Australians knew what was going on in the county, but he couldn't figure out what the Australians were doing.Not to mention guessing their specific intentions.Wang Zhaomin was born in a "study screen". He has a lot of knowledge in his belly, and he is even more proficient in officialdom knowledge. However, Australians have a completely different knowledge system from him, and even their ideas are quite different, which makes it difficult for him to guess.

"It's easy." Wang Zhaomin agreed very happily. One thing he felt very clearly, that is, Australians like to be straightforward, and they just ask for it. They hate insinuations. "But it's over with an announcement, but there are some embellishments on the Guangdong Academy side as usual."

"This is easy." Seeing that he was talking about money, Xiong Buyou secretly smiled. "Approximately how many?"

"50 taels is enough." Wang Zhaomin knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xuetai himself, it was handled by Xuetai's master, plus the fee for the book office below, 40 taels of silver was enough.Twelve is counted as his own benefit.

Of course, these twelve taels were not taken for nothing.Getting rid of the reputation of a scholar was no small matter in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was more cautious than expulsion from the party today.But it’s not impossible—the Ming and Qing dynasties can also be regarded as a "legal procedure" society, whether it is reasonable or not, the key is to stand up to criticism in official affairs.A piece of official document has to be written in a watertight way, and if you spend a lot of money, it will be done naturally.Wang Zhaomin was a little smug - at this moment, he had already written a draft in his stomach.

"The required expenses will be provided at another time." Xiong Buyou nodded.Then he got up and said goodbye.

"Slow down," Wang Zhaomin called to stop him, "Master Xiong, please stop, I have something to ask."

"Yes." Xiong Buyou stopped in his tracks.See what he has to say.

Wang Zhaomin hesitated for a moment. He and Wu Mingjin had discussed this matter for a long time, and after much deliberation, there was no other way to think about it, but it was hard to say whether the other party was interested.

"I heard that you are farming land in the United States and Taiwan..."

"That's right, it's happening." Xiong Buyou admitted generously.

"It's not easy to cultivate land here in the United States, Taiwan and the West," said Wang Zhaomin. "Presumably the nobles have the Australian secret method to use, and it is probably not difficult to have a good harvest."

Xiong Buyou smiled reservedly.The agricultural level of the Crossing Group is well known in Lingao, and it is also their most attractive skill.

"...It's just that the United States, Taiwan, and other farmlands have autumn taxes. Please turn them in according to the number." Wang Zhaomin revealed his true intentions.

Xiong Buyou suddenly realized that it was Qiu Liang's idea that they fought.

This abacus is really good. As expected, officials only need to pretend to be confused, and there is no one who is really confused.Of course, Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin had no choice but to be so interested in the fields of the Crossing Group—they originally didn't want to deal with these Australians, but the situation they faced made it impossible for them to think about it.

The collection of "imperial grain and national tax" was the most important thing for grassroots government departments in ancient times, and it was also the top priority.In terms of taxes in Lingao, it is hard to say that they are heavy.Summer grain is almost negligible, and autumn grain, the highlight, is only 680 six stones, seven liters and nine folds.Even according to Lingao's current low productivity level, it is still affordable.

The biggest problem lies in adding pie.The Liao pay has been increased three times, and the mu levy is 9%.Of course, at this time, whether it is Wu Mingjin or Wang Zhaomin, I don’t know that next year——Chongzhen will send another one in three years, which will become one yuan and two per cent per mu.

This number is not difficult for relatively wealthy areas with extensive silver circulation, such as Nanzhili.But it is difficult for a small and remote county like Lingao where the natural economy dominates.
