Zuihou proved that it used a thousand-character text as an alternative code, and each character was compared with a commonly used Chinese character, and Gou Er should have carried a special thousand-character text with him as a decoder.

"Can you decipher it?"

"Of course," Zhang Xingpei was very sure, "but there are several prerequisites, there must be people who are proficient in Ming Dynasty Chinese, and we must know the language habits of the people at that time, so that we can calculate the frequency of words in a ciphertext; There must be enough ciphertext for reference, and the more ciphertexts, the easier it is to compare the frequency of words......"

"That's all the ciphertext now, that's just the names." Mu Min said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

"It's really hard to say that." Zhang Xingpei's attitude suddenly became pessimistic, with only names, no coherent sentences, and it was impossible to check the accuracy of the decipherment through the semantics of the context.

"I'll try again," Mr. Zhang said, "but I don't know when the results will come out." ”

"Okay, a few names can come up with a few names." Lin Baiguang had no choice but to do so.

However, according to the names they already knew, plus the information inferred from the contents of the documents, they had mastered a number of names in Lingao, and successfully knew what they had done in collusion with Gou Dagou Er. These messages made Lin Baiguang very excited - it added weight to their "bright skin and Australian heart" Jihua that was about to start in the fall.

The so-called "Mingpi Aoxin" is to take advantage of the opportunity to start collecting autumn taxes and take the opportunity to infiltrate the county government. Purge the lower-level officials and replace them with their own people, so as to control the specific county government. Wu Mingjin and others were completely put in the air.

After obtaining the actual control of the county government, he then used the big brand of the county government to make the policy of crossing the group be carried out in a grand manner -- Cao Cao was coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the crossing group was "coercing the county order to order the county people." The scale is different and the reasoning is different. This is the wishful thinking of the Executive Committee.

The gentleness towards the county government and the co-optation of local intellectuals are precisely paving the way for this jihua, which plays a role in paralyzing the resistance of the local people and reducing the groups that may cause confrontation.

But these are just carrots, and the necessary sticks must also be prepared. Engaging in "black materials" is also the most effective stick. Not only can it smash people into darkness, but it can also make people infamous, which is much more effective in ancient society than in modern time and space.

The Social Work Department of the General Administration of Political Security has been engaged in black materials for several months -- the sources of black materials are many, some are collected by the task force conducting social research from the locality, some are learned from the interrogation of prisoners, and naturally there is no shortage of exposing materials secretly sent by anonymous people -- many people have placed their hopes of revenge on the crossing group.

There are also those who are not anonymous, such as Zhang Youfu, a shabby household, who is an expert in black materials, and he is the most unclean in the county except for the two Gou brothers, but he is extremely specialized in whistleblowing. When I held a meeting of the Consultation Industry Association, I secretly sent Xi Yaya several black materials about Liu Dalin. These black materials were transferred from Xi Yaya to the General Administration of Political Security, and Ran Yao took a look at them, almost all of them were Liu Dalin's curses and remarks about the crossing group and how he actively made suggestions to attack the crossing group at the beginning.

He then provided a list of the gentry who had participated in the attack on the Crossing Group and their deeds. Although Ran Yao despised him after seeing it, he had to say that this person was a "talent". So Zhang Youfu became one of the guest secretaries of the Political Security Bureau.

In the past few months, there have been a lot of black materials collected, ranging from colluding with bandits and pirates, forcing tenants to death, forcibly killing servants, and stealing cattle and ashes, seducing widows, and there are really a lot of different types of things, and Ran Yao files them all by name, regardless of whether they are true or not.

The reason why Lin Baiguang was so interested in Gou Er's black account that he had seized this time was that in addition to wanting to know about the Gou family's network in Qiongzhou Mansion, it was also his purpose to increase the weight of black materials - can't the limelight just be taken up by the Ministry of Social Work.

Lin Baiguang reported the materials in his hand to Ran Yao. The next day, Xiong Buyou received an order: he was asked to go to the county office immediately to do something.

Xiong Buyou went to see Wang Zhaomin as usual. If you want to do things with the county order, it is the fastest and most effective to see his master, because there are many things that the official can't say, and it is difficult to bargain specifically, so it is more convenient for the master to come forward.

Wang Zhaomin and the others can not be seen, "Master Xiong" must be seen, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite in. I muttered to myself in my heart, this month's allowance has just been sent, and this bear master suddenly visited, I don't know for what.

The matter is not big, but it is to ask the county government to issue an official document: announcing that Gou Dagou and Gou Er colluded with pirates, and the former "Haikou fought with each other and killed the whole village." "It's not a difficult thing, although the county government has not officially issued an official document, but it has been handled like this internally. Wang Zhaomin thought to himself, this thief also understands things a little, and knows that "the name is not right", and they want to use the authority of the judge of the Ming Law to correct their name.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, as long as you recognize the authority of the Ming government, since you want to use the two brands of Lingao County Ya and Wu Mingjin, we can talk about the conditions. He didn't yet know the idea of crossing the group to take its place.

The second is to ask the county government to write Guangdong Xuetai and remove the reputation of Gou Chengxuan, the son of Gou Er, from the same crime. At the same time, a sea fishing document was issued in the county to track down Gou Er's father and son.

Wang Zhaomin pondered for a moment, these three things are not difficult to say. Except that the Guangdong Xuetai is a little more troublesome -- that is, it is just a little troublesome, and the Xuetai will definitely not be inaccurate. The other two things are even more hands-on. It's just that he has to think carefully about what kind of medicine this Australian can sell in the gourd.

A few days ago, he had heard that the Australians suddenly arrived at Gou Er's house, and there was a lot of commotion. Later, when the officials went to seal the door again, they found that the well in the backyard had been dried up—what did Gou Er hide in the well? Otherwise, the Australian weishenme will dig up the well?

Wang Zhaomin couldn't guess that they were now almost one-way transparent to the crossing group: Australians knew what was going on in the county, but he couldn't figure out what the Australians were doing. Not to mention guessing their specific intentions. Wang Zhaomin was born in a "school scene", he has a lot of knowledge in his stomach, and he is even more proficient in officialdom, but the Australian cultural system is completely different from him, and even his ideas are very different, which makes it difficult for him to speculate.

"It's easy." Wang Zhaomin agreed very happily, and he knew one thing very clearly, that is, Australians like to go straight, just mention it when there is a request, and hate insinuations the most. "It's just a proclamation, but the side of the Guangdong school platform needs to be a little embellished as usual."

"It's easy." Xiong Buyou saw that he was talking about money, and he smiled in his heart. "How much does it take?"

"Fifty taels is enough." Wang Zhaomin knew that this matter actually had nothing to do with Xuetai himself, it was handled by the master of Xuetai, plus the fee for the following clerk, forty taels of silver was enough. Ten taels counts as his own benefit.

Of course, these ten taels were not taken for nothing. It was not a trivial matter to get rid of Xiucai's fame in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was more prudent than expelling from the party today. However, it is not impossible to do it -- the Ming and Qing dynasties can also be regarded as a society with "legal procedures", and whether it is reasonable or not, the key is to be able to stand up to criticism in official affairs. A piece of paper must be written without leakage, and then spend a pen and money, and it will naturally be done. Wang Zhaomin was a little smug - this time, he had already finished the draft in his stomach.

"The cost will be provided at another date." Xiong Buyou nodded. As he spoke, he got up and took his leave.

"Slow," Wang Zhaomin stopped him, "Master Xiong, please stay, I have something to ask." ”

"Yes." Xiong Buyou stopped. See what he has to say.

Wang Zhaomin hesitated, he had discussed this matter with Wu Mingjin for a long time, and there was no other way to think about it, but it was difficult to say whether the other party was interested in it.

"I heard that the nobles are cultivating land in the United States and Taiwan......"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened." Xiong Buyou generously admitted.

"It is not easy to farm land here in the United States and Taiwan," Wang Zhaomin said, "Presumably, you have Australian secret methods to use, and it is not difficult to have a bumper harvest of grains." ”

Xiong Buyou smiled reservedly. The agricultural level of the crossing group is well known in Lingao and is also their most attractive skill.

“…… It's just that there are other farmland in the United States, Taiwan and the United States, and I ask you to hand it over. Wang Zhaomin spit out his true intentions.

Xiong Buyou suddenly realized that they had the idea of fighting autumn grain.

This abacus is really fine, and sure enough, as long as the officials pretend to be confused, there is no real confusion. Of course, Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin were so interested in the fields of the Crossing Group that they were really a little forced - they didn't want to deal with this group of Australians, but the situation they faced made it impossible for them to think about it.

The collection of the "imperial grain national tax" was the most important thing and the most important thing for the grassroots government departments in ancient times. In terms of high taxes, it is difficult to say that they are heavy. The summer grain is almost negligible, and the main event is the autumn grain, which is only 7,686 stones, seven liters and nine he. Even according to the current low level of productivity in Lingao, it is still affordable.

The biggest problem is the addition of pies. Liao salary has been increased three times, and 9 percent per mu is levied. Of course, at this time, whether it is Wu Mingjin or Wang Zhaomin, they don't know that next year, Chongzhen will have to send another additional fee in the third year, and it will become a levy of one dollar and two cents per mu.

This figure is not difficult for the more affluent areas where silver is widely circulated, such as places such as Nanzhili. But for a small and remote county like Lingao, where the natural economy is dominant, it is even more difficult
