Chapter 2103: Stumbling down the patrolman(2/3)
Even Quan Huan would not dare to take this risk.
After all, the current emperor is not stupid.
And the land tax paid is real, and there is no way to hide it. There is no need to allocate grain, but you can also turn in grain. One in and one out, it is too obvious.
This is also what Governor Wang wants to do.
He would never have been able to do it before.
After all, there was no one under his command, so how to check the land and determine how much the general had occupied?
Of course, his first sword swing would not be at the general, but at several royal eunuchs.
At this time, near Yanghe, there was a county prince and several eunuchs in the mansion, relying on the prince's name, they occupied more than 10,000 acres of good land.
They all rely on water from rivers to irrigate the fields and ensure harvests during droughts and floods.
An acre of this kind of land costs 10 taels or even 20 taels of silver, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary dry land.
And Governor Wang had long known that the prince was indifferent and that all the land was occupied by the eunuchs.
The benefits did not fall into the palace.
There is much to be done in this.
It might offend a few eunuchs, but not the prince.
Not only would the prince not write to the court, he would also thank him.
The problem is that he needs someone to take care of this matter. He, a governor, cannot go to the fields to investigate this matter.
You have to have someone who is reliable, courageous, attentive, capable, and loyal... to accomplish this.
Wen Rensheng helped him select them.
So he is taking action.
Things are arranged one by one.
"You must work hard to carry out errands. The Dianbao Zheng (Sixth Grade) of Yanghe County is Han Yu, and the Dianshan Zheng (Sixth Grade) Luo Xing has occupied a large amount of official land respectively. They oppressed those below and concealed it from above. You must
We need to find out clearly where the land is, how much it is, its circulation history, who handles it, and the farms..."
He gave instructions one by one.
If this matter is done successfully, he will have a reputation among the scholars and will be useful to the court.
Ten thousand acres of official farmland is irrigated, and an average harvest of 4 dan per acre is equivalent to 40,000 dan of grain.
You must know that the entire SX province only pays 2.8 million shi in taxes per year.
If you track down two eunuchs, you can get 40,000 stones. Can you imagine how much shock it will give the court?
And this is just the beginning.
He will continue to investigate.
The general who has troops at the moment still won't move, and he still has to use some of his strength to appease the opponent...
These are all routines.
Eunuchs can offend honorable nobles, but they cannot offend officials. Generals...
To put it bluntly, the former has a bad reputation and no military power, while the latter has a reputation and military power.
Governor Wang wants to be a capable person, not a Hai Rui person.
Hai Rui was able to pull down even Mr. Xu Ge, and even the emperor dared to scold him, but few future generations dared to imitate him.
Just as Governor Wang finished his instructions, the housekeeper came to summon Mr. Li to see him.
He immediately asked Wen Ren to come in.
"From now on, you don't need to pass the news. I have known your uncle for many years and regard you as my nephew."
"Thank you, uncle." Wen Rensheng said directly.
Anyway, he was fighting, and he didn't care about the verbal names.
As long as he is not allowed to kneel down and recognize his godfather.
Then Wen Rensheng told Wu Xun that he wanted to catch the last handful before Lin left.
"This Wu Zhengfu talks so much about morality and justice, but he is so greedy in private." Governor Wang said disdainfully.
"I had some disagreements with him at the beginning of the year. Liu Shen was about to flee when he saw the invaders. I once impeached this general for his incompetence in fighting, but he spared his life."
"Afterwards, my uncle found out that the general had given Wu Zhengfu 1,200 taels of silver."
"It's really ridiculous. For the sake of money, you have corrupted the laws of the military and the country. No wonder the generals are as afraid of the enemy as tigers and flee easily."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
The Jurchens' strong fighting ability is closely related to the strict military discipline in the early days.
Having just emerged from hard work, he still maintains a simple style.
Military discipline is strict, if you flee at the sight of the enemy, you will definitely be beheaded.
Even the leader's son is no exception.
This caused everyone to fight first.
As for why the other party was able to maintain such military discipline, it was naturally because the conditions were harsh and there were strong enemies all around.
If there are only a few loose ends, there is a danger of subversion.
This is also what is called being born in sorrow and dying in happiness.
It's not the Jurchens' racial characteristics bonus. When they start to enjoy and improve their lives, they quickly become powerless Eight Banners lords.
When there is a battle, you have to hire someone to fight for you.
He was beaten by the peasant army and fled in embarrassment.
To flee upon seeing a thief is considered superior courage; to flee upon hearing the rumor is medium courage; to flee upon misunderstanding is considered inferior courage.
It perfectly replicates the characteristics of the Ming army that their ancestors defeated back then.
So, don’t tell anyone.
Living a good life and lacking a modern training system naturally led to lax military discipline.
Even if one or two generals are different, they cannot change the general trend.
These two will only have a partial impact, and in the end they will be surrounded and eliminated by the Jurchens in large numbers.
Others are more fearful.
"Uncle, these 1,200 taels are indeed a lot of money. No wonder Wu Xun will protect him. However, in the future, when generals are in danger, they will choose to flee instead of fighting. Anyway, if something goes wrong, they can just spend money to get away with it.
, their lives are their own." Wen Rensheng continued.
"Yes, this Wu Zhengfu really deserves to die. It's a pity that he has quite a lot of support in the court. Even if he was impeached by his uncle, he was not believed by the cabinet. What can be done?" Governor Wang sighed.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
This is the internal bureaucratic relationship of the Ming Dynasty.
Internal friction with each other.
Find support for each other.
It does not rely on principles and disciplines, but on factions and money.
How can we remain undefeated if this continues?
If he wanted to deal with Wu Xunjian, he still needed to find another way.
"In that case, it's better to leave it to the students and keep it for a few days so that the patrol officer can't stay here without shame." Wen Rensheng said.
"What do you want?"
"Just look at it."
Five days later.
More than a dozen men whose families were ruined by Wu Xun came to the capital and held a banner with large characters "Unjustly Accused" at various scholar guild halls...
Naturally, there are people behind me who will arrange for food, accommodation and travel expenses.
In short, they were all chosen by Wenren and were ready to burn their boats.
Another person crashed directly into a club.
Almost killed.
They cried to the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exams and complained that Wu Xunzhi extorted good people and forced Jin gentry...
This matter has become a big deal...
How did Wu Xunqian know that anyone could still play this trick?
These people did not go to the yamen to complain, but instead went to major halls where scholars gathered to complain?
To be continued...
