Chapter 305 Charter
Wang Dalong must have encountered an accident, Huang Qiong can be sure of this now. As for whether Wang Dalong would defect with that secret fold, Huang Qiong still believed that Wang Dalong was a human being. But Wang Dalong's life and death are unknown at the moment, but it makes Huang Qiong unusually worried. Thinking of the guard who always smiled innocently, Huang Qiong's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife cut.
Although Wang Dalong was sent to him by the emperor, over time, he has become the most effective person for Huang Qiong. And in addition to some extremely confidential things, he is also the person Huang Qiong trusts the most besides Liu Hu. At present, there is no one alive, no corpse dead, and even ninety percent of them may be killed, so how can Huang Qiong really sleep peacefully?
When the morning came, Huang Qiong, who had almost been sleepless all night, did not alarm He Yao, who was still asleep. He got up and dressed gently, kissed He Yao's mouth gently, and returned to the main hall of the study in front. looked at the two holy decrees on the bookcase, and muttered for a long time. After hastily finishing breakfast, he still sent someone to find the two highest officials in Zhengzhou Mansion at present.
At this time, Liu Xuezheng, who was the acting pacification envoy of Henan Road, had already returned to Bianzhou Mansion, the head of Henan Road, with other officials. After all, he is now the highest administrative official in the entire Henan Road, and there is not only one Zhengzhou Mansion in Henan Road. In particular, the counterinsurgency has been completed on the Ruzhou side, and he is also needed for the aftermath of the Ruzhou incident.
Although there is no decision-making power, participation is a must. After the departure of the officials on Henan Road, the current Zhengzhou Mansion now only leaves the new Zhengzhou Governor, Shi Sujin, the former governor of the British Prince's Mansion, and Jian Yong, the governor of Zhengzhou Mansion. As for the other officials, although that Lord Liu left some of them as temporary agents.
But Huang Qiongyi didn't want to see it, because in his opinion, it didn't mean much if those state and county officials couldn't see it. I should let them see it, and I should let them see it. What to do, they should also know in their hearts. The second is that this matter needs to be resolved by these two people in the end, after all, they are the highest administrative officials in Zhengzhou Prefecture.
After Su Jin and Jian Yong arrived, Huang Qiong directly read out the clear decree to the two. After listening to the content of the holy decree, the two of them also looked dumbfounded, and they didn't speak for a long time. Everything is to appease the public opinion of Zhengzhou, and the satisfaction of the people of Zhengzhou is my satisfaction. The words on the holy decree made the two of them confused, and they couldn't understand what the emperor meant?
However, the aftermath of Zhengzhou, everything is decided by the British king in front of them, and the two of them understood it. It's just that although they understood it, the two of them were even more confused. Everything is decided by the British king, does this mean that this time the imperial court, there is no charter for the aftermath of Zhengzhou.
Everything is decided by the king in front of him, who has read the decree and is closing his eyes at the moment? Two people, you look at me, I look at you, neither of you knows the meaning of the holy decree, is it the meaning that you understand? In the end, Jian Yong, who had more experience, took the lead in speaking: "Lord, does the emperor's meaning mean the meaning of the holy decree?" ”
Regarding this Lord Jane's very straightforward inquiry, Huang Qiong could only say helplessly: "Lord Jane, what the emperor means is what the holy decree means." In other words, if the people of Zhengzhou are satisfied, the emperor can be satisfied. If the people of Zhengzhou are not satisfied, the emperor will not be satisfied. As for the rest, don't think much about it. ”
"The aftermath can't be dragged on now, and inviting the two of you today is to come up with a charter. This king thought about it for a long time yesterday, and decided that he could find the land of the original owner now, and he should return it as soon as possible, and he must not miss the autumn harvest. There is an account book copied by King Jing, and it should not be difficult for this king to think about this. ”
"Second, the demobilized rebel officers and soldiers must be properly resettled, and there must be no major turmoil. If there are outsiders in the rebels who are willing to stay in Zhengzhou to settle, the government should give some help. He who should be allocated land should be allocated land, and he who should be borrowed seeds and ploughing cattle should be borrowed. ”
"Third, the shops that were occupied by King Jing's Mansion should also be returned to their owners as soon as possible. If it is really impossible to return to the owner, it is necessary to give sufficient monetary compensation. The money and goods needed were first taken from the property that had been seized from the houses of the stewards. In a moment, the king will command the cavalry camp and hand over to you the confiscated goods. ”
"There are two things that you need to do now. First, do a good job of restoring the land to its owner, and tell the officials below to remember that every acre of land must be handed over to the person who should have been handed over. If anyone is in the middle of it, the king will cut him in pieces, regardless of whether he is guilty of meritorious service or appeased and sent down by the envoy or the transporter. ”
"The king knows that almost every official now has people sent by other clans. Presumably, these people also promised those officials an unknown number of benefits. If they have already received the benefits, let them beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother, and they will not be known to the king. This king has already killed more than 100 civil and military officials, and he doesn't mind killing a few more when the time comes. ”
looked at Huang Qiong's murderous tone when she said this. Su Jin and Jian Yong glanced at each other and couldn't help but nod slightly. After a long time, Jian Yongcai said: "Lord Wang, in fact, now that the original owner's land can be found, those officials should not dare to do anything." Now the two of them are most worried about not being able to find the land and shops of the original owner. ”
"Lord Wang, you also know that many people can't afford the high rent of King Jing's Mansion, and now they have gone out to become homeless. Some of them have even died out of the family for some reasons. Weichen thought that those clans should be targeting, and it must also be these ownerless lands. And this type of land is not a minority in Zhengzhou now. ”
According to Weichen's verification before King Jing's rebellion, this kind of land accounts for about about 30% of the total amount of land occupied by King Jing in the entire Zhengzhou Prefecture. This kind of land is the most difficult to dispose of, and it is also the most prone to problems. Do you think this land should be disposed of in this way? And when King Jing was inaugurated, the land originally given by the imperial court was also handled? ”
Regarding Jian Yong's question, Huang Qiong pondered slightly and said: "The land originally rewarded by King Jing's Mansion has not yet been taken back by the emperor, so don't move it for the time being." But the ground rent should be reduced back to the normal standard. As for the land left behind by the people who went out to work as displaced people, it was temporarily managed by local governments before returning to their hometowns. ”
"The people here in Zhengzhou know as far as this king knows. Most of the homeless people should go to the capital, or the northern capital of Jinyang. You immediately send a letter to Jingzhao Mansion and Jinyang Mansion, as well as the entire Fuzhou County of Henan Road, Shandong Road, and Hebei Road, and ask them to immediately post a list to recruit displaced people to return to their hometowns, with the focus on Jingzhao Mansion and Jinyang Mansion. ”
"After a year, if there is still no claim, it will be sold by the government. If someone wants to buy, they need to live in Zhengzhou for three generations, and the county and township can only buy it after the county and township have a guarantee to testify. Outsiders are not allowed to buy it. This matter must be personally controlled by the Su Governor's Mansion. If a foreign clan wants to buy it, you will push it on this king. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong pondered slightly and said: "All ownerless land, during the period when it is managed by the government, can be leased to the outside world. However, they can only sign a contract for one year, and if the tenant needs the government to subsidize the cultivation of cattle seeds, the harvest will be 55 percent in the coming year. If the government does not need to subsidize the cultivation of cattle seeds, they will be divided into four or six parts. ”
Hearing the charter that Huang Qiong took out, Su Jin and Jian Yong shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and the plan originally discussed by the two was to return the land to the owner. If there is no owner, or if it cannot be found, it will be sold. After the original owner is found, a part of the money and goods will be compensated according to the standard of 60% of the sale price.
There's no way they can come up with this idea. These days, it doesn't matter if Huang Qiong stays at home, but they are under a lot of pressure. The people sent by the foreign clans and the officials of the court did not dare to come to find His Royal Highness, but it did not mean that they did not dare to come to them. The letters they receive every day from the neighboring clans, and the letters from the important ministers of the court are almost piling up.
The invisible pressure brought by those prayers and letters made the two of them feel quite angry. Originally, according to Su Jin's idea, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the representatives of all the forces who were in the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect all day long, just fight out. But Jian Yong, who was old and sophisticated, stopped his hasty actions.
Jian Yong told him bluntly that if he really did that, he would not be able to be an official. Those people in the DPRK and China, there are ways to rectify Zhengzhou Mansion. Let's not talk about anything else, but it's about to be winter. The matter of river workers needs to be grasped quickly. Now the Zhengzhou treasury can be said to be empty, and even the rats are hungry.
According to the system, the money and grain required for the maintenance of the Yellow River every year have always been sixty percent of the imperial court, and two percent of the Henan Road and Zhengzhou Prefecture are each burdened. If you offend too deeply, it doesn't take much, and the sixty percent of the money and food borne by the court will be dumbfounded for half a year. The beginning of spring is the cauliflower flood, if the river workers do not do it well, then the entire Zhengzhou Mansion will be destroyed.
This year, the British king personally sat in Zhengzhou, and perhaps the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry did not dare to delay. But the king can't always be in Zhengzhou Mansion, what if the king leaves next year? Even this year, the current situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, who can guarantee that the British king will not be transferred away in half a day? Those bigwigs in the DPRK and China, it is too easy to drag you for a year and a half in this matter.
Those people may not have anything to do with you, but this river worker is delayed for a year, and the Zhengzhou government can't afford to drag it. Being an official in the local area and being in the Hanlin Academy are completely different things. To be an official at the local level, all aspects must be maintained. If one can't be maintained, maybe someone will jump out and put little shoes on you. Those bigwigs in the DPRK and China, there are simply not too many ways to suppress you.
If he really wants to serve as an official and benefit one party, there are still some things to do. Otherwise, the buttocks will be driven away by others before they are hot, so how can they benefit the people? Although Su Jin is a little stubborn and pedantic, he is not stupid. If you are stupid, you can't get into the rank and rank in the imperial examination.
Jian Yong said these truths, he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that his fellow countryman in the same year was not wrong. And now the key issue is not just this one. The Zhengzhou Treasury is empty at the moment, let alone doing other things, even the next month's food and salary for the subordinate officials, and they don't know where to raise it.
And the current acting pacification envoy of Henan Road, Lord Liu, when he was leaving, said that he promised to allocate a part of the money and grain from the transfer department to temporarily solve the immediate need. But both of them knew that even if the Transit Division could allocate the funds in place, they would not be able to give too much money and food.
In addition to the autumn tax that has not yet been levied, there is also Ruzhou that needs to be cleaned up at present, Henan Road is flooded with the Yellow River for ten years, and the annual river work expenses are huge. In addition, the richest Jingzhao Mansion is directly under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. Every year, it also bears fifty percent of the food and salary of the local guards, and the number of guards on the Henan Road is the first among all roads. So the whole transshipment division has always been tight.
At present, the emperor has exempted Zhengzhou from this year's food and salary, and has to dismiss so many rebel officers and soldiers. The entire Zhengzhou government can now be said to be short of money everywhere. Under such circumstances, Su Jin, who has always been pedantic and rigid, agreed to take a step back. The two of them discussed for a long time, and finally came up with such a solution. As a result, I didn't expect that this idea was basically rejected before it was proposed.
