82 Strive for the return of the Ming Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous world
After reading out this will, Zhang Mingwei said sincerely: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the safest way to settle you is for you to go home separately and not waste the land. If you encounter a thief, you can go to the county Yazhou Mansion to hide, there are these two holy purposes, if the local parents dare to ignore you, come to Beijing to find me, and go to Jinyiwei to complain! ”
Previously, Jang Myung-wei had already investigated the situation of refugees who came to Gyeonggi. According to the statistical results, it was not surprising to him, basically they were all people from Gyeonggi, more precisely, refugees from the prefectures closest to Gyeongshi. If it is farther, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach Jingshi.
The best way to settle them is not to raise them in Jingshi, but to let them return to their hometown!
This trick, in fact, was also done in ancient times. However, under normal circumstances, these refugees will leave their hometowns and come to Beijing to survive. If the government wants to stop them from coming to Beijing, then they will only have to rebel except starve to death.
But Zhang Mingwei's trick is a little different from them, that is, to solve the difficulties after they return to their hometown. Half of the tax was reduced to give them hope, and the other half of the tax was also reserved for the local government, so that the local government could bear the burden of solving the local people.
If the local people cannot solve the problems of the local people, it will lead to civil unrest and local dangers. Therefore, the local government can use its new power to collect money and food from the wealthy households in the jurisdiction to tide over the difficulties, and this is where the alternative interpretation of the will lies.
I have to say that a big deal like Zhang Mingwei is really impossible for anything like this to happen except for the fact that the two are intimate and prosperous together in front of Emperor Chongzhen.
If Zhang Mingwei was not a traverser, then he would not have been able to come up with other ways to fill the vacancy left by the local tax in the north; And if it weren't for falling in front of Emperor Chongzhen, let Emperor Chongzhen know that the danger of losing the country was in front of him, and the ministers were all ministers of the dead country, Emperor Chongzhen would not agree to such a crazy idea!
However, this is happening now, and it is the right time to solve the refugee crisis.
Of course, Zhang Mingwei didn't just say these two holy decrees, so he continued to say to the refugees: "The money and food collected since yesterday are for you to pay for your journey. When they go back to their hometowns, each person can receive half a month's grain and five pieces of silver. After receiving it, there was no extra money and food on the Jingshi side, and there was no other person coming. Therefore, when you go back, you should explain this matter clearly and go to your local parents to solve the problem. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to Lan Tianbao, and was about to come over with a stack of papers and said, "These are two notices related to the Holy Decree, each of you should bring some back to show others and local officials." I said that if the local government doesn't enforce it, you can come to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to complain, and see that I can't spare them! ”
The most important thing between people is trust!
If these things announced by Zhang Mingwei were the responsibility of the corrupt Liao Guoxuan, then even if these refugees saw that there was really a holy decree, they would not believe it!
However, in the past two days, Zhang Mingwei has won their trust with practical actions, and even to the extent of calling Zhang Qingtian and Zhang Bodhisattva.
In this way, what Zhang Mingwei said is more authoritative. At this time, the bonus of the holy decree can also be reflected.
What's even more surprising is that Luo Yangxing also came to assassinate him. This made the refugees feel the preciousness of Zhang Mingwei, and also made them cherish Zhang Mingwei as a good official.
At the same time, because of this assassination incident, Zhang Mingwei immediately took over the official position of commander of Jinyiwei. Therefore, he can tell those refugees that if they encounter problems, they can go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to complain, which is much lower than the threshold for filing a complaint!
If you really have a problem, there are people who can call the shots for them! It can be said that although they are going to be sent back to their hometown, Zhang Mingwei has already taken care of all aspects of their return to their hometown.
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei's words, most of the refugees understood that this was the best result, and that Zhang Bodhisattva did everything he could to give them a way to live, and of course they listened.
Of course, there are still a small number of refugees who still have concerns in their hearts. Now go back, what if something goes wrong in the future, and the magistrate doesn't care, he comes to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to complain, and the door is not allowed to enter?
This time, for example, refugees were stopped outside the city if they had no friends or relatives to turn to.
However, this small group of people who have concerns, listening to most of the refugees around them are grateful to Zhang Bodhisattva, they also hesitate to say, otherwise they will definitely be spurned by others.
Zhang Bodhisattva has done his part, and he still wants to find faults? You don't want to think about it, is there such a good official in the world? More concerned than my parents, what else?
However, they never expected that after Zhang Mingwei stretched out his hand on the stage to quiet them down, he said loudly: "In addition, you know that I have just taken over as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so I decided to recruit troops among you and join the Jinyi Guard to do things. However, I want to make one point clear, I can only solve the problem of food and clothing, food and lodging, and there is no money left to pay salaries. After a year, those who pass the performance can officially become Jinyiwei. ”
Taking advantage of the fact that the refugees below were in a daze, he immediately added: "In each village and town, only one young man with a small family can be elected, loyal and honest, and able to endure hardships." I have said first, Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and he is from the army. Suppressing thieves and quelling rebellions and arresting corrupt officials and corrupt officials may cost their lives. Although it will never be a loss, it is a life after all, and after thinking about it, I will decide whether to come to Jinyiwei as a recruiter. ”
After saying this, Zhang Mingwei won't say anything. Glance down to see how they react.
After the refugees figured out what Zhang Mingwei said, they immediately boiled!
Zhang Bodhisattva is going to recruit the captain of Jinyiwei, although he has no salary, but he has the identity of Jinyiwei, from now on, who dares to bully? Even if the family returns to the local area, they will definitely not let the local officials oppress them at will!
As for those who lose their lives, in this world, if they don't have a brocade guard, they won't lose their lives? In this world, the most worthless thing is human life!
Thinking about it this way, it would be strange if the refugees who meet the conditions don't start grabbing this quota for Jinyiwei!
So, the scene suddenly became enthusiastic. People in the same village and town, or in the same village and village, immediately gathered with each other and began to recommend themselves or actively recommend people who were closer to them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingwei stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet. However, this time, it was still quiet after a while, and it was not like before, and he could silence the audience as soon as he stretched out his hand.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, when you have elected people, you will all come and line up, and while receiving the money and food for the journey back, you will report the candidates." Zhang Mingwei said loudly, "The sooner you go home, the sooner I can free my hands, revitalize the Jinyi Guard, arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and fight for the return of the Ming Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous world, okay?" ”
Needless to say, of course it's good!
The refugees responded with a bang and felt that they too could do their part to create a peaceful and prosperous world. The atmosphere of the scene became particularly warm.
"The Bodhisattvas have arranged for us so properly, whoever wants to rely on the Beijing Master again, it will be five thunderstorms in the sky!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the Bodhisattva, we would have starved to death! When people live, they must always talk about their conscience! ”
"Ah, if it were possible, who would want to leave their homeland, now that I can finally go back, I am like an arrow!"
"Don't trouble the Bodhisattva anymore, let the Bodhisattva clean up those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and how good it is to be a bright and bright person!"
“……”
Those who chose the less controversial ones quickly came to line up. While recommending the fellow to Jinyiwei, he also received the travel fee, and then after telling the fellow Jinyiwei, he came to kowtow to Zhang Mingwei goodbye!
It was also at this time that Zhang Mingwei's side discovered that Master Zhang had said from the beginning that he wanted to let the refugees eat more, at least have the strength to walk, and it turned out to be for this!
