216 [Traveling in the mountains and playing in the water] (The wind that floats for the leader NJ(2/2)
Fu Ruwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We are both fallen people from the end of the world."
"Shanggao County was also stolen by rebel thieves?" Han Chengxuan asked.
Fu Ruwei sighed and said: "Two of the four counties in Ruizhou Prefecture are like this. Only Gao'an County, which is attached to Guofucheng, and Yifeng County in the mountains are still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. However, these two counties are still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
When developing peasant associations, it is only a matter of time before they fall into the hands of rebels. Did you offend someone by being transferred to Jiangxi?"
"I have indeed offended a lot," Han Chengxuan said. "I reiterated a whip law in Zichuan, prohibiting excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also cleared the land again."
Fu Ruwei smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not as capable as Brother Kanghou. Last year there was a severe drought in Zhejiang, so I just forced the wealthy people to open warehouses to release grain. I offended several officials of the Donglin Party."
The imperial court was really interested in sending good officials to Jiangxi.
Han Chengxuan suddenly asked: "Should the actual situation here be reported to the court?"
"It cannot be reported," Fu Ruwei shook his head and said, "In several battles, Jiangxi officers and soldiers were all defeated. If it were reported to the court, it would definitely arouse thunder and wrath, and the war in Jiangxi would start again. By then, where would the court have the officers, soldiers, money and food to fight the war?
?The matter here will be delayed for a day. Alas, then Zhao Yan can be considered a good thief."
Han Chengxuan said: "I know he is a good thief, but a good thief is still a thief after all."
Fu Ruwei said: "Brother Kanghou, please go to the mountains to see how powerful the Zhao thieves are. The people in the mountains, under the organization of the peasant association, walk several or even ten miles of mountain roads, go down to the rivers and carry water back for irrigation.
.This is nothing. After they carried the water, they were still digging the reservoir, and it seemed that they were carrying water to fill the reservoir! I went to see it once, and I was really shocked. No government anywhere could do this.
"
Han Chengxuan had nothing to say.
Fu Ruwei smiled bitterly and said: "Don't think too much, let's go sightseeing together."
