Chapter 16 The means are old and spicy
This is the case with a lot of things in this world, and it's better to be straightforward than to beat around the bush and go through the cracks.
Li Sanjian straightforwardly revealed his identity, and immediately made everyone in Hui'an County bow their heads to their ears.
Quanzhou is a remote place, thousands of miles away from Beijing, the so-called mountain high emperor is far away, the imperial court is beyond the reach of Quanzhou, then Quanzhou Zhizhou is almost the emperor of the soil, so the people of Hui'an County also have to bow their heads to their ears.
"The Meng County Order is in the county seat of Hui'an County." Li Sanjian, the new governor of Quanzhou, asked, and the officials could only answer based on the truth.
Hong Daguan is called a big official, in fact, he is also a Xu official and a township secretary of Hui'an County, surnamed Hong Mingba.
The so-called township division is one of the official services of the Song Dynasty, also known as the township xu, the township scrivener, the township official and so on. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the township department did not obtain the status of the county and township tax collector, and its responsibilities were mainly to assist Li Zheng and the head of the household to urge and supervise the payment of taxes.
After that, the status of the township secretary gradually rose, and he became a county servant from a township officer, and contracted the tax collection of Song County and township, and finally became the tax collector of the county and township with great power.
The position of the township secretary is not high, but the power in his hands is not small, and he is in charge of setting taxes, making taxes, pushing and arranging the second tax copyright, pushing and cutting taxes and rents, urging the superintendent to pay taxes, etc., in the county and township, it can be said that he is powerful.
Zhong Lizheng is also responsible for urging the payment of taxes, but he also has to look at Hong Ba's face on weekdays.
"So, is it a reckless act to collect autumn taxes without permission?" Li Sanjian then lowered his face and asked Hong Badao.
"The little ones don't dare!" Hearing this, Hong Ba replied in horror: "It is indeed an order of Meng County to collect the autumn tax in advance. ”
"Why do you need to pay your autumn tax in advance?" Li Sanjian asked again.
"The Meng County Order said that this is a 'pre-loan', which is for... In order to... The Meng County Order had already learned that Li Fuzun was going to pass through Hui'an County, in order to give Li Fuzun an 'official respect'... Hong replied hesitantly.
"Official? Yu Benguan? Li Sanjian was so angry when he heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.
After asking for a long time, the final one is to blame on yourself?
It's nothing more than looking for all kinds of excuses to exploit the people, Li Sanjian then thought about it.
If Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, is really like this, then he may have to be removed from his post as county magistrate, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, the official who harms the people like this cannot continue to let him stay in office.
You must know that Li Sanjian, who is going to Quanzhou at this time, is holding the "Shangfang Sword", Li Sanjian has asked for a holy decree to appoint and dismiss officials at all levels in Quanzhou Prefecture, and only need to go to the court afterwards.
"It makes no sense." Li Sanjian then asked: "The matter of additional consumption is also Meng Guangxi's life?" ”
"This..." Hong Ba's face suddenly turned embarrassed when he heard this, and at the same time he glanced at Zhong Lizheng, who was pale beside him.
"What, what?" Li Sanjian sank his face and said angrily: "At this time, do you still want to hide it?" Do you really think that this official can't handle you? ”
"The princess of the house!" Hong Ba was so frightened when he heard the words that he knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, pointed at Zhong Lizheng and said: "The matter of adding consumption is that this person covets the beauty of the daughter of the Lan family, and wants to force them to submit through the consumption of the incident, so as to be able to dominate the daughter of the Lan family, and... And... The small ones don't matter! ”
At this time, Hong Ba was really scared, the master in front of him was the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, the new governor of Quanzhou, in charge of Quanzhou's affairs, in fact, this is just good.
The most important thing is who is Li Sanjian? He was outside the Xuande Gate, and he killed a prince of the dynasty and the royal family in public. . . At this time, this matter has spread all over the world, and the Song people are all aware of it, and everyone knows about it, and maybe the people who captured the land already know it.
The most important thing is that after this incident, Li Sanjian was unharmed, almost unscathed, and finally was "demoted" to Quanzhou without pain... Is it depreciation or promotion? That's two more ...
Clear-eyed people have already seen the key to this matter, which is the favor of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty to Li Sanjian, otherwise Li Sanjian would not be so easy.
And the people of Hui'an County are not as good as a prince of the dynasty and a member of the royal family, so if Li Sanjian can't get along with them, they will never have any good fruits to eat, and maybe the dismissal and dismissal of officials can be regarded as light.
Hui'an County is like this, not to mention a small township secretary, so Hong Ba is face is like earth, lying on the ground is desperately kowtowing.
When the people of Hui'an County heard this, they all set their eyes on Zhong Lizheng, eager to eat it alive...
This matter is because Zhong Li is coveting Lan Atan's daughter, Yaoyao's beauty, which led to a series of things, and almost took the new Quanzhou Zhizhou to the county prison, if this is the case, then the big thing is over...
"Hong Laoba... What nonsense are you talking about? Zhong Lizheng turned his head and kowtowed to Li Sanjian and said: "Master, this matter Hong Laoba discussed with the little one in advance, and the extra money, he is seventy percent, and the small one is thirty percent, he wants to clean it up at this time?" Hmph, no way! ”
"Oh? Is it? Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "He is seventy percent, and you are thirty percent?" It turns out that ten out of ten have gone into your pocket? But the government can't get a penny? 7 asked
"Zhong Cheng!" Li Sanjian then shouted to Zhong Lizheng: "You and others changed the order of the government without authorization, exploited the people, and immediately took down the punishment, but this official has just arrived, and he still doesn't know much about some things, so he will send it for the time being, and after it is investigated, he will be punished together, and Zhong Chengli will be removed from the post immediately, and Lan Atan, a villager of Meiyu Village, will temporarily serve as the head of Meiyu Village." ”
Li Sanjian's words are true.
Li Sanjian has just entered the territory of Quanzhou, just arrived in Hui'an County, and encountered this kind of thing, although Li Sanjian has asked a lot, but he still has to be careful and not listen to one-sided words, so Li Sanjian only removed Zhong Cheng from the post of Li Zheng, and the rest of the people will not be held accountable for the time being, and this is already considered a blessing.
As for the appointment and dismissal of a township and a village, it was decided by the local county government, but Li Sanjian happened to meet it, and it was reasonable for him to take his place.
Li Sanjian, as the governor of Quanzhou, appoints and dismisses a small Lizheng, and others will not gossip, so who dares to gossip?
At the same time, Li Sanjian's move can be regarded as repaying Lan Atan's kindness to his party with everything he had.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness... At this time, Zhong Cheng did not continue to beg for mercy, but snorted and left with his subordinates.
Li Sanjian ignored Zhong Cheng, looked at Hong Ba and said, "As for you... The same is true, this official ordered you to do a bad job and continue to be your township secretary. However, this official has a sentence for you, that is, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, I hope you can stop the precipice in the future, otherwise the king of heaven will not be able to save you. ”
Li Sanjian can be regarded as sincerely admonishing Yu Hongba at this time.
Li Sanjian didn't want to take care of the previous things, and he couldn't manage them, this is the drawback of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom, even if Li Sanjian wants to manage it, he has more than enough heart and strength.
What Li Sanjian can do is to manage his own one-acre and three-point land, and not now, but in the future.
The reason is that at present, Quanzhou officialdom must continue to operate normally, and the collection of taxes must also be carried out normally, otherwise Quanzhou may face paralysis, and for Quanzhou officialdom to operate normally, at present, it is indispensable to rely on these people, so Li Sanjian has to continue to stay in this person.
If Hong Ba continues to do evil, then Li San will not hesitate to take him down and punish him.
For Li Sanjian, who was the governor of Quanzhou for the first time, stabilizing the overall situation is the most urgent matter.
"You are all the same, and I hope to admonish them in the future." Li Sanjian then said to the people of Hui'an County.
"Thank you so much for your kindness!" The people of Hui'an County were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed one after another, and even several officials who were injured before also opened their mouths to thank Li Sanjian.
"Thank you, villain!" Hong Babai wept.
At this time, Hong Ba also sincerely thanked Li Sanjian.
The reason is that Li Sanjian's words have been made clear, and Li Sanjian will no longer pursue Hong Ba's past, which is the most reassuring place for Hong Ba.
Hong Ba is the township secretary of the county and township urging the tax payment, and the oil and water in this must be not small, and the previous Hong Ba is inevitably up and down.
In fact, although Hong Ba made a lot of money in it in the past, Hong Ba did not reach the point of madness, and he still had some scruples.
At the same time, under Li Sanjian's warning, Hong Ba couldn't help but secretly warn himself that this kind of thing must be careful in the future, and he must stop when it is time to stop, otherwise his life may be lost in Hui'an County, Quanzhou.
How old is this person? Could it be that there is a technique for rejuvenation? It looks unusually young, but it's actually not young?
Li Sanjian's beating and pulling, and sophisticated disposal methods made Hong Ba and the others couldn't help but be puzzled in their hearts.
Li Sanjian is so young, no one would have thought that he would be the governor of Quanzhou... At the same time, the old and spicy way of doing things makes people can't help but feel that he should be a politician who has been mixed with officialdom for a long time...
Where is it like a young official who has just been in the company for about a year?
"Hey, Atan, what are you doing stupidly? Don't you want to thank Master Zhizhou? At this time, a neighbor pushed Lan Atan, who had been standing in a daze.
"The villain... Untouchables ... I, I, I, I... Thank you Lord Zhizhou... At this time, Lan Atan woke up and hurriedly thanked him.
Lan Atan was excited, and he was a little incoherent.
Just a few hours ago, Lan Atan was still an ordinary villager, but at this time, he actually changed and became the Lizheng of Meiyu Village... At this time, Lan Atan was still in the clouds, and he didn't know where he was.
But don't underestimate this little Lizheng, in Meiyu Village, he is like a soil emperor.
Zhong Lizheng used to be just a small rich man with some family wealth, but because he became Lizheng, his family business flourished and he became a well-known outsider in Hui'an County.
