Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 117 Aftershock (1)

Inherited for a hundred years, five generations of officials are considered a family.Xia and Huang are rookies in Cangzhou, while Shao and Yu are veterans of the Cangzhou family.The Shao family is the big brother, neither the ancestors nor the present have ever declined.

Big Brother's instant shrinkage, just like the disintegration of a certain union back then, is no doubt a magnitude 10.0 earthquake.Although the earthquake was flat, aftershocks continued...

It's just that when the Huang family seeks stability and the Xia family seeks safety, no one takes the lead in making trouble, and it seems calm and peaceful...

In the Governor's Mansion, there was a small appointment - Zhang Linye was awarded Zuo Sige, who was in charge of the sentry and inspection of the Governor's Mansion, leading hundreds of people.Zhang Linye had already been awarded a loose official, he was a person with official status, and he had learned a lot of martial arts from He Niu Chicao and others, so it would be appropriate to appoint him as Si Ge.

Prior to this, Niu Checao and Wang Shan were in charge of the guard posts and inspections of the Governor's Mansion.Now accepting Zhang Linye's fate, it's not that he doesn't trust the two of them, but Xu Qing is the only general who comes with these two in his hands. Every time he goes out, he always leaves one to protect his family. Xu Qing feels awkward.Think about it, a fight always takes one hand, how can it be so refreshing?

Although there is still Qi Tai, but after all, he is the one left by the prince, isn't he?When I use it, I always feel that there is a layer of membrane between me and I still owe others favors.It's true that Xu Qing is far away from the court and doesn't care about those things, but Xu Qing is always in the officialdom, and he needs to be more cautious about things that may be related to the team...

—— Zhang Linye's 100 people were all selected from the veterans they brought with them, and all of them had gone through the test of blood and sugar coating. Xu Qing also planned to conduct professional security training for them first.Compared with fighting on the battlefield, security guards pay more attention to the ability to discover hidden dangers, and have a certain ability to serve others.And the most important thing—loyalty, diehard loyalty is the best.

Before Zhang Linye's small army was trained, there was an aftershock of "rumbling". It was the Daokou village that the Shao family could not control. It left Cangzhou and disappeared without a trace.

Like all steam, it will eventually bead up and fall down.In just a few days, more than 1000 new refugees gathered near the city of Cangzhou.

This new batch of refugees is different from the usual ones. From the outside, they are generally the same, poor and poor.But as soon as this group of refugees came, they clamored to live in Cangzhou, and they were as self-indulgent as their relatives, without any sense of inferiority as refugees.Among them, some refugees started to make trouble as soon as they arrived in Cangzhou City. A group of five or sixty people roared past Cangzhou City, making Cangzhou City restless.

In the beginning, the refugees just walked through the market in groups, but later, they began to steal things, and even robbed food openly... The law and order in Cangzhou City dropped sharply. Openly resisted the government servants.

——Qin Shi had no choice but to invite Xu Qing.After Xu Qing heard Qin Shi's report, he didn't need to ask An He to understand that it was people from Daokou Village mixed in.As for what the purpose is and who instigated it, it is unknown.But there were hundreds of people in Daokouzhai, and it was almost inevitable that Xu Qing would be disgusted.

The trouble is, Xu Qing can't tell if there are real or fake among these thousand refugees.In addition, Xu Qing was soft-hearted and didn't want to do anything to the real refugees, otherwise he would just let all the soldiers go and catch them all, it would be very easy!But now, alas...

If you can't beat them all to death with one stick, then kill them as an example to others.Catch a few people who are having a good time, and directly give the owl the head of the rebellious party at Caishikou.The head fell to the ground, blood soared to the sky, but it did scare a group of people.

Not enough to scare them, Xu Qing asked the soldiers to drive all the refugees out of Cangzhou City, arranged a temporary camp, and sent people to register and make a register to stabilize the hearts of the refugees.All that's left is to use your sharp eyes to find the monster.

——Xu Qing had an idea, more than 300 bandits were mixed among the refugees, with my current strength, I should be able to handle it easily, no rush.Also, Daokouzhai left mysteriously, and now comes back among the refugees, what is the reason?
Instead of rushing to solve the refugee issue, he called all the officials in Cangzhou to discuss together.It would be a good thing if everyone could put forward effective opinions. Xu Qing's real intention was to take this opportunity to test the purity of the officials around him.

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, a rare meeting was held to discuss matters.Xu Qing was sitting right in front of him, nothing could be seen from his expression.The officials of all the divisions felt uneasy, thinking that Xu Qing wanted to bring up the old matter again.After hearing a brief introduction of the situation of the refugees outside the city, I felt a little relieved and started discussing one sentence after another.

It's just that most people think Xu Qing is nonsense, kill them all, deport them as rioters, and demote them all as official slaves.Xu Qing shook his head, seeing Qin Shi suddenly had an idea, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Lord Inspector, there are many refugees outside the city, and there is no telling whether it is true or not. I think that if someone has a family, he must be a real refugee..."

"Good..." Xu Qing opened his mouth to say a word, and fell silent again.Xu Qing still felt that he was a good student, so he came up with a more feasible method.

"Sihu Zhao Tianqi reported to the governor that the officials thought that some of the refugees outside the city could be separated according to the method of the county magistrate Qin, and then the old and the weak could be separated, and the rest could be sent to repair the city wall..."

"Hmm..." Xu Qing nodded without saying a word, thinking about the gains and losses in his heart. Let the refugees repair the city wall. It is indeed possible to screen out the real and the fake, but there are hundreds of bandits inside. If they repair the city wall, they will introduce The party is over.There are still thousands of private soldiers and bandits on the ground in Cangzhou!

"No, the calamity of refugees lies in chaos, so don't let them get close..." Si Tian Ciyuan pulled out two withered fingers and shook them.Xu Qing was noncommittal, and turned to ask about other things, such as enlightenment, litigation, and so on.However, Xu Qing didn't ask about the vacant households, which made everyone secretly relieved, and finally Xu Qing returned to the issue of the refugees outside the city.

"Let's separate some of them for the time being..." Xu Qing said, there are many thieves, and being able to separate some of the people will help to screen the rest, so he said to Ci Yuan and Zhao Tian, ​​"This matter is troublesome..."

Ciyuan and Zhao Tian were slightly startled, looked at each other in astonishment, and said to Xu Qing: "Here..." After Ciyuan finished speaking, he thought of something, and said to him, "I dare you to invite hundreds of soldiers to deter the rioters."

"Yes..."

The other officials also resigned, and Qin Shi was left alone. Qin Shi didn't dare to sit on the table anymore, so he got up and performed the disciple's salute, and stood respectfully in front of Xu Qing.Xu Qing couldn't help being dumbfounded, there were always such people in Qin Shi, but because Xu Qing selected his Jinshi, he also had to respectfully hold the disciple ceremony.Fortunately, Xu Qing still has the style of "Wen Zong", otherwise Qin Shi would not be convinced.

"Qin Shi, we've been in Cangzhou for several days, and we haven't reminisced about the past. Is the magistrate of Cang County doing well?" Xu Qing said to Qin Shi "kindly".

"Students feel diligent and diligent, and it's going well..." If Qin Shi's words were placed in the Qing Dynasty, it would be extremely arrogant.In front of Shangguan, in front of teachers, what does it mean to be "consciously diligent"?You should say that you are "unexamined" and ask for advice honestly.But this time is the Tang Dynasty after all, not so slavish, Qin Shi's words are just self-confidence in Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing nodded his head and said, "Look at the politics of Cangzhou, what should you think of it?"

"Returning to the teacher, the students think that emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, persuading business and industry, and returning to the fields to value mulberry are the way to consolidate the foundation..."

Since ancient times, politicians in Greater China have emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce as the only way to strengthen the country. Several theories that emphasize commerce, such as "Guanzi", have also been buried in the sea of ​​books.Xu Qing smiled slightly, and asked again: "The way to consolidate the foundation, what is the foundation of the country?"

"The people regard food as their heaven, food comes from agriculture, and agriculture is the foundation of the country..." Qin Shi was very puzzled. He didn't know why Xu Qing asked this. Isn't it common knowledge that agriculture is the foundation of the country?

"It is true that food and clothing come from farming, and the importance of agriculture is indeed related to the foundation of the country, but why did the previous dynasties emphasize agriculture from generation to generation, and why did they decline from generation to generation?"

"This...is the country originally a monarch?"

"The fierce king is violent, and his country is not destroyed. Why? Xiandi has a virtuous name, and the Cao family inherits his country. Why?"

"Then, that country is originally a minister..."

"Haha, no, that's right. The monarch, the ministers, and agriculture are all the foundation of the country, but they are not the only foundation of the country..." Xu Qing paused, and Qin Shi understood that this was the teacher who wanted to impart knowledge, so he held the ceremony The more respectful, listening to Xu Qing said: "If you want to unify many countries, there is only one - people. People are water, countries are boats, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. Only people-oriented can create a new world. Prosperity..."

"Da Yu ruled the waters for the people and won the world. King Wen joined the borders of Hua, Xia, and barbarians, and revolutionized the merchants. Qin returned the land to the common people, and the common people were also added to the ranks, so they unified..." Xu Qing has always paid attention to the people in order to win Summarized by his words, it is more practical and clearer than the vague so-called "justice" propagandized by previous politicians...

"Confucius said that he loves people, and Meng Yun enjoys the same joy, that's how it is... In every prosperous age, all industries must prosper, not only agriculture; all subjects abide by the law and rituals, and the reputation of loyal and filial people does not show..."

Xu Qing can say so many things, not because he is knowledgeable, but because of various fragments of knowledge and fast food culture in later generations, so that he can walk in all kinds of industries, and all schools of thought know a little bit. Tong Sheng.In view of this, Xu Qing sneaked out while Qin Shi was in a daze.

I hope these words can enlighten this student of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as Xu Qing sowed a seed.

Next time, next time, tell him about business...

After leaving the lobby, Xu Qing went to inspect the city wall of Cangzhou City.The city walls of Cangzhou are more than three feet high, and most of the places can only accommodate two people walking together. Only a few towers are spacious enough to stand dozens of people, and can also put ballistas.

Standing on a tower, looking at the temporary refugee resettlement area outside the city.Ciyuan and Zhao Tian are leading soldiers to clean up the real and fake refugees one by one.When more than a hundred refugees with families were cleared out, there was a commotion among the refugees.

"Officers and soldiers are killing people!"

"Murder for life!"

"Let the dog officer take his life for his life!"
