Ming politicians

The effect of the meeting was shocking, not only about the cultivation of land, but also about how the local governments should treat the common people. Su Tiancheng also made clear demands at the meeting. By this time, the officials in Shaanxi understood that this The governor, after coming to Shaanxi, is ready to do a big job.

Some officials even compared the demands made by Su Tiancheng with the claims made by the rogues, and found that there were some similarities between the two. Use your own head to try Shangfang's sword. You must know that if you don't follow what the governor said, you will lose not only your head, but your family will suffer along with it.

As if it had changed overnight, the people of Shaanxi found that the attitude of the government and officials had changed a lot. Many taxes that had been imposed before were all cancelled, and the government began to allocate arable land. The biggest change in allocating a certain amount of cultivated land is the change in the attitude of officials. In the past, the situation of detaining people and extorting property on the charge of bandits has almost disappeared.

In the small town near Xingping County, that is, the town that Su Tiancheng had been to, the shopkeeper and proprietress of the restaurant felt very deeply, because the governor ate in the restaurant, and because he saw the governor punishing the government servants severely, The two felt that the governor was very different from many officials, and the key was that he had a good attitude towards the common people.

The human market in the small town began to shrink slowly. Many farmers lacked manpower at home. The government distributed winter wheat seeds and asked everyone to plant them, and some gentry and rich households had arable land.It is also allocated to the farmers to ask for good planting. Under such circumstances, even the elderly and children can help in farming.

Farmers' understanding is very simple, as long as they cultivate the land.It indicates that when there is food, there is hope.

Most importantly, the government has issued a notice that the land cultivated by farmers will be managed in strict accordance with the land tax determined by the government, and other taxes levied on the land will be exempted.

This is a notice posted by the government everywhere, and it can be believed.

Some careful farmers took off the notices.Keep it carefully, in the next year's harvest season, if the government backtracks, you can take these notices and go to the governor's office to file a complaint. If the governor's office fails, you can go to the capital to file a complaint.

The prefectural and county governments also felt the change.

The troublemaker in their eyes.It began to decrease significantly, in the process of distributing winter wheat seeds.Farmers take the initiative to lead the way for the officials, and follow the requirements of the officials, and urge each other not to eat wheat seeds. Some villages and towns that were not dared to go before are no problem now.

important changes.Or farmers began to complain to the government.

In the past, farmers had conflicts and disputes, and they would not find the government at all. They either resolved it in private, through fighting with weapons, or joined the ranks of rogues in a fit of anger.Taking advantage of special relationships to retaliate against each other, as for the government, the common people don't believe it, thinking that the government doesn't care about these things at all, and what officials see in their eyes is money.

A lot of news, through documents from prefectural and county government offices, as well as information from secret sources, continuously gathered in the governor's office. Seeing these rapid changes, Su Tiancheng was very happy. Of course, these changes were expected The government is originally in a strong state, as long as the government makes changes first, the people will buy it.

Su Tiancheng is most concerned about the movements of the rogues. The 20 rogues are staring at him, which is his biggest heart disease. What's more, the rogues have a strong leader. Li Zicheng's reputation, needless to say, in the process of changing history, Su Tiancheng will definitely It is to be faced directly.

Su Tiancheng was a little proud of the information sent by the dark thread. The rogues were mainly concentrated in Mian County and Feng County of Hanzhong Prefecture. This generation was sparsely populated, which facilitated the activities of the rogues. In order to survive, the rogues had already begun to learn from the imperial court's practice and practiced farming. The system relies on the looted property and the income from farming to maintain its operation. Because the government began to help the people and encourage them to farm, a large number of soldiers have already fled among the bandits.

The Jiangning Camp was stationed in Hanzhong County of Hanzhong Prefecture and Fengxiang County of Fengxiang Prefecture, and became horns to closely monitor every move of the bandits. Hanzhong Prefecture is close to Sichuan and Gongchang Prefecture. According to Su Tiancheng's judgment, the situation in Shaanxi has gradually stabilized. Afterwards, the rogues will definitely find a way to break through, either directly entering Sichuan, or entering the Gongchang Mansion. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the rogues entering Sichuan is the greatest.

This is also what Su Tiancheng expects to happen. When the rogues entered Sichuan, he will not launch a large-scale encirclement for the time being. After all, the imperial army led by Lu Shanji also wants to fight against the rogues. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Tiancheng stepped up construction. Good Shaanxi, to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the rogues to the greatest extent, and finally together with Lu Shanji, completely wipe out the rogues.

There is also bad news. Chen Yutai really wrote the memorial. The cabinet has begun to pay attention to this memorial. Many censors and officials are preparing to impeach. This is accurate news, because all of this is Sun Chengzong. Waiting for someone to write a letter to inform.

Su Tiancheng was not idle, and also wrote a secret letter to the emperor, reporting all the changes that occurred in various places in Shaanxi.

He once thought about whether to send Chen Yutai back to the capital, and after careful consideration, he gave up on this decision. Anyway, it is not necessarily a bad thing for someone to disagree. Much stronger.

Zhu Cunshu, King of Qin, Zhu Changhao, King of Rui, and Zhu Dan Huoji, King of Han, came to visit the Governor's Yamen together, which greatly exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations. Although Zhu Cunshu is in Xi'an, and the fiefdom is also here, Su Tiancheng has too many things to do, and he has not had time Going to visit, and Su Tiancheng proposed that the royal family members can enter the court to do things, aroused huge repercussions among the feudal lords, and many feudal lords regarded Su Tiancheng as their own family, let alone Su Tiancheng's wife Zhu Shenxin is the younger sister of King Jin.

It should be said that Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Changhao and Zhu Tanhuoji supported Su Tiancheng very much. Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Yousong hardly encountered any trouble when they went to work. The three vassal kings readily took out the silver. On the one hand, Su Tiancheng needs to thank the three of them.

Su Tiancheng personally went to the gate of the governor's office to pick up the three of them into the mansion.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, His Royal Highness Rui Wang, and His Royal Highness Han Wang, I have too many things to do during this period, I have not had time to visit, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Among the three, Zhu Cunshu's qualifications are the oldest, seeing Su Tiancheng coming to greet him at the door, Zhu Cunshu smiled and spoke.

"Master Su, please don't be so polite, we are all idle people, we are disturbing Mr. Su."

Su Tiancheng smiled slightly. The meaning of Zhu Cunshu's words was too clear. This is to ask for an official. He hoped that he could enter the court to do things like Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Yousong. These vassal kings are pitiful enough. No, you have to abide by many rules and regulations, and if you are negligent, you will be punished.

Entering the second hall, several people sat down.

"The lower official has given orders to prepare a banquet. I will have a drink with the three highnesses later, and I will not return if I am not drunk. I have come to Shaanxi, and I have received the strong support of the three highnesses. I am very grateful."

It was Zhu Cunshu who spoke.

"This is what we should do. Mr. Su doesn't need to show love like this."

"Can't you say that, I have already reported the support of your highnesses to the emperor, I believe the emperor must be very happy."

The faces of Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Changhao and Zhu Tanhuoji all showed brilliance, which was exactly what they expected. If they got the emperor's attention and Su Tiancheng's help, they would be able to enter the imperial court as officials.

Among them, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao's emotion is the biggest. Zhu Shenxuan is the magistrate in Hanzhong. He is busy every day and has almost no leisure time. For Zhu Changhao who has nothing to do all day long, this is a great feeling It is of course a great thing to be able to enter the imperial court as an official and be busy with things. Unfortunately, they are in Shaanxi and cannot get the attention of Sun Chengzong and others for the time being.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your kindness. We came here today to visit Mr. Su, and we have some ideas."

"His Royal Highness, please tell me."

"In Shaanxi, due to the invasion of the rogues, they suffered heavy losses, especially the merchants, almost all left. Now Master Su and Jiang Ningying have come to Shaanxi, and the rogues no longer dare to be arrogant. I heard from King Rui that the rogues in Hanzhong, It's very polite, and I dare not take a step beyond the threshold. With such a good opportunity, should I consider developing business and trade? Mr. Su has worked hard for the development of Shaanxi, not to mention the lack of money, and he has to worry about exterminating bandits all the time, so I have considered it. Make a fuss about business."

"Oh, I don't know how His Highness King Qin, King Rui and King Han think about it."

Zhu Cunshu looked at the two of them and spoke with a serious face.

"We feel that it is most appropriate to open up border trade and implement mutual markets."

The room suddenly became quiet. The opening of border trade actually refers to the opening of the frontiers controlled by Ningxia Qianwei, Defender, Zhongwei and Yulinwei, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia can trade freely, and the government can extract taxes from it. This is indeed true. Huge business opportunities, as long as they are opened up, they can earn a lot of money. Mongolian people lack too many daily necessities. In the past, they relied on looting. Be cautious, and dare not enter the customs easily. At such a time, letting go of the border and conducting mutual markets is indeed a way to make money.

Of course, King Qin, King Rui, and King Han would not simply put forward such a suggestion. They must have huge interests in border trade.

This is a very good idea, but it needs to be approved by the imperial court. In the past, none of the governors dared to think about this issue. It was too late for fear. But Su Tiancheng's situation is different, because he has the support of Jiang Ning Ying. (To be continued..)
