Chapter 166: I can't figure out the situation
Peng Wenzheng did not understand the situation at all.
Since the collapse of the imperial capital, Jiangnan has maintained a strange state, the original source of civil strife has been cut off, the conquest by force has turned into economic infiltration, and the smuggling from the north to the south has become a kind of profit sharing from top to bottom, and everyone feels that this situation will continue and should continue.
This brings us to the question, worldview.
A materialist worldview will think about what I have done, what changes I have made to the world, and thus what positive or negative changes have been made.
Idealists, or ignorant people, see the world subjectively, and they think, "I think the world is what it is, the world is what it is," and all kinds of problems arise.
In a cosmetics commercial, the big-breasted actress shouted the mantra I hate chemistry against the backdrop of countless chemicals.
A liberal arts student kept asking a biology professor how many genes were transgenic......
But these people are the people that Emperor Guangxu hated and feared before he died, grammar people.
The most powerful thing about them is not that they can do good deeds for the country and the people, but that after they do not do good deeds at all, and after they bring disaster to the country and the people, they still have a way to package themselves as doing good deeds, killing people and setting fires, and resigning and going home.
This kind of thing runs through the genealogy of literati in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it can be seen that countless literati with bad deeds in history have their own special whitewashing skills.
In their worldview, they read poetry and books to the fullest, and when they go out to be officials, they only need to sit there, and the people and officials up and down will be like horses and cattle, working diligently to support themselves, and they will also hand them over to help them go to the top to "run the department and make money", and get promoted and make a fortune.
On the outside, they have not been able to properly deal with foreign enemies, and in the early Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was not yet in power, they could still play such a gorgeous operation as the division of the northern and southern Xiongnu system.
And after the great revival of Confucianism, China's national fortunes have been taking a sharp turn for the worse, and the Wuhu Chaohua can also be said to be "ethnic minorities going south", but the shamelessness and incompetence of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Southern Liang can not be said nonsense, but the history books are in whose hands, justice is in whose hands, it is not nonsense.
We can see that in Chinese history, foreign wars are basically one, when military generals lead troops, they can still fight a victory, and literati lead troops in foreign wars, which is basically one word, lose.
The reason is simple, you have to treat the enemy as a person, as an opponent, not as a stupid pig.
There is such a shame in Chinese history, a literati triumphantly sent a letter and slapped his face in a trick, saying that the enemy did not know how to defend the dangerous place of the Yalu River.
So the enemy laughed and took advantage of the danger of the Yalu River, causing countless deaths for the Chinese soldiers.
This literati was fine, patted his ass and went home, muttering that some emperors would not reuse him, otherwise he would have been able to unify the world a long time ago.
In their opinion, aliens are either greedy villains or tyrannical thugs who can lie to them without trust, or conquer them easily.
Peng Wenzheng's meaning is very simple, this Lin County Commander has been in Jiangyin for more than a year, he has fed it well, and he also has a backhand, the people here are very united, if the county officials from other places help outsiders bully their locals, then he will have a way to arrange people to incite them.
Lin Xian Ling is actually very helpless, you are dying by yourself, why do you bring me, I am just a person who has been here for a few years, and then looks for a chance to go home, why do you force me so much.
However, as a county official, there are still many ways: "Say it yourself to the adults from the north, this is the incident you provoked." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Choose one of the two, do you admit the crime, or let your brother throw the pot on your head?" ”
Peng Wenzheng looked at his eldest brother, his original surname was Cao, but he passed it on to his uncle, so he changed his surname, but there are still a lot of contacts on weekdays, and this time he killed people, and he was instigating it.
Last night, the Cao family had an accident and was stewed, so naturally some people went separately to report the news, and went to the surrounding villages to inform the township party to help the boxer, and it was also a wave to find people in the county, but Peng Wenzheng slept in a brothel last night, which was very difficult to find, and when the sun rose, the city got the news in a panic, and he found out that something was wrong.
asked the county commander to send troops to save people quickly, but was sternly rejected by the Lin county order, although these township soldiers were poorly equipped and lackluster, but after all, they were painstakingly run by the county commander after he arrived, and he went out of the city when the enemy situation was unknown, didn't he let him send it.
Fortunately, as the same foreigner, Nadian Shi has to do more things to convince the public, so the top and bottom are still satisfied with him, and at the same time, this person is also used for work, so naturally he went to pick the head and go to investigate the situation.
The news that Yan Yingyuan brought back was naturally amazing, the imperial capital did not seem to have any feelings about the killing of his own people as he thought before, but he sent people directly from the imperial capital in a resolute manner, and as soon as he came, he arrested a quasi-child, obviously did enough information, this is obviously a leading party.
Under the soft grinding and hard bubbles, the county order has never made up its mind.
This is not the Spring and Autumn Righteousness, which requires him to shave his hair or treason, but the unscrupulous gentry under his rule to kill outsiders.
Of course, Lin Xianling also doesn't like the enemies in the north to stir up in his own territory, but what his master said is also quite right.
It's better to let the talkers move below than to let the army come, as long as you pay attention to the bullet pressure and don't cause civil unrest.
At the same time, Lin Xianling also knew that his master, as a Shaoxing person, was naturally well-informed, and knew what the imperial capital was doing to turn his master into a secretary, that is, he directly pulled them into the system!
Although there are also masters who prefer to work in the dark, and prefer to have no identity, but secretly control everything, but for most normal people, there is a system, but I can't ask for it.
Lin County Ling also calculated that if the master changed to a secretary and he didn't have to pay a salary to support the secretary, then he could save this money.
Friends are also scholars, basically the expenses are a lot, can save the penetration of high-ranking officials and elders is all-round three-dimensional, for businessmen, relaxed business environment, absolutely safe security, countless new goods, so that countless southern businessmen suddenly change their mentality, and for the master group of Shaoxing, such a red fruit is a big benefit.
Again, the elders are becoming more and more skilled in uniting the majority of the people and fighting the reactionaries.
Lin Xianling hated Peng Wenzheng and Cao Juren more and more, what a beautiful life he had, he could have read the Dream of Red Mansions again, and guessed whether Baoyu chose Sister Lin or Sister Baochai in the next volume, but the beautiful life was disturbed like this.
Therefore, he also watched without saying a word, ignoring Peng Wenzheng's eyes for help.
"My lord, please help."
"Okay, don't you like adults, according to the intelligence, my people have been tortured by you for two hours, oh, that is, an hour before dying, how long do you think you can last?"
Li Xiangqian pointed to the official next to him and said: "You, start beating me, until he moves, by the way, if you feel that you usually have a friendship and don't want to fight, then I have to let you replace him, by the way, give these poor brothers rest money, and beating people is also hard work." ”
On the one hand, there is a threat of death, and on the other hand, they also want money to take, besides, the people in their soap class don't have such a good relationship with the house.
Optimistic about the situation, a few errand servants beat Peng Wenzheng, anyway, the friendship on weekdays is like that, as a thug around the county order, and the person responsible for tax collection itself is different from inside and outside, and it is taboo to have more contacts.
Peng Wenzheng called the heavens and the earth, but he couldn't stand it, looking at him as if he was dozens of years old and couldn't stand the beating, Li waved his hand forward and said: "I can't do it anymore, change his son, and continue to fight!" ”
Peng Wenzheng knows it now, knows that even if he is killed, no one really cares, he is a northerner, if you go home, what's the problem?
"My lord, this has nothing to do with me, it was those people who used the banner of adults to swagger and deceive everywhere, and the small people below were not angry, so they accidentally killed them."
Li Xiangqian said: "What's the matter with me, my people have committed something, naturally the Ministry of Internal Affairs will manage it, what role are you here?" ”
Peng Wenzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I recruited, recruited, please don't beat my son." ”
Naturally, there is the secretary office of the Lin County Order next to it, and in the record of listening to the order, Peng Wenzheng is one case at a time, how to plan, round up and trap the propaganda team, how to deceive them with their official identity, the propaganda team only has a firearm for self-defense, no rifle, naturally not an opponent, but not without resistance.
After asking everything, Peng Wenzheng naturally quibbled, he planned to expel people from the country.
But there are always villagers who beat people to death, and in the end they die, and they have leadership responsibility, but no actual responsibility.
However, Li Xiangqian is suitable to chase after the poor man, he seems to have his own sources, but he forced Peng Wenzheng to ask how he deceived up and down, and gave the overcharged tax to the county to share the profits, and the big head was eaten by himself.
The cost of transportation in this era was extremely high, and the so-called one minute of eating the enemy and twenty minutes of me, that is, the cost of transporting some grain to the place at the distance of war was twenty times that of these grains.
In order to finish the grain, the farmers of the Ming Dynasty needed to find a way to transport it to the nearby granary.
This also gave Peng Wenzheng, who took the initiative to recruit this messenger, a chance.
shoddy, trade-in, deliberately inflated freight and bribes to the treasury.
This is the most terrifying, Li Xiangqian just read out the information one by one, as if he was staring at Peng Wenzheng to complete these corruptions.
Even if it is a brother, Peng Wenzheng has to look at Cao Juren, although these things are "unspoken rules", but the number is so clear, it must be "his own people".
"Have you admitted it, these accounts, as well as the list of your property, amount, it is estimated that at this time, a lot of part belongs to our servants, fortunately, most of your property is real estate, that is, all kinds of shops and fields, which is a good thing."
The Cao family and the Peng family are not one or two generations, and they naturally understand the principle of fine water and long flow, not only to collect some dry shares, but also to invest in more shops, of course, it is natural to take advantage of more.
The problem lies in this, there is no reliance on power to buy shares, and in the absence of an accounting system, a credit system, or a banking system, the consequences of letting "professional managers" run industrial business are basically eaten up.
In fact, it's very simple, I stayed in a hotel on a business trip, spent 300, issued 500 invoices, you can't run to me for 200 yuan to investigate, how much does it cost? 1000 pieces?
Cost, marginal utility, without large-scale computer accounting, is almost irresistible, is it really necessary to use a team of ten people to account for one person to do the work?
Peng Wenzheng naturally denied it in every possible way, but these evidences were real, but the noise outside the county government also rose.
"Folks, outsiders are here to bully people, they are arresting people one by one and taking money, and we are next, I can't bear it."
There are naturally a lot of people outside the county government, the clansmen of the Cao family, the people of the Peng family, and of course all kinds of gangsters found by Peng Wenzheng, all of whom are constantly clamoring, telling distant stories of outsiders partnering to bully people.
A person suddenly appeared at the gate of the county ya, looking down on him from a distance, and the officials were still barely maintaining order, but the man suddenly said in a loud voice: "Who is Sun Dalang, who is it." ”
This is louder than anyone's voice, in fact, the loudest voice in the city is a woman who specializes in helping to pretend to be a filial son crying grave, and that hoarse look can turn any funeral into a Shura field where ghosts cry and God howl, but it is not as loud as this one.
This can almost silence everyone's voice, and it can be heard almost throughout the city, of course, in the area centered on the county government, but it is enough.
Sun Dalang still did not appear, but the words behind quickly changed everything: "Comrade Sun Dalang, if you have a copy of your cash, please come and register and receive it quickly, and you will not wait for it to expire." ”
Of course, this caused an uproar, and soon someone ran over: "My surname is Sun." ”
Ke Xiaonan looked at him, this kid was hiding before, but now he ran over.
"You're selling cookcakes on Front Street? Two months ago, I gave Peng Wenzheng twenty taels of silver, just begging him to let go of the paperwork and help you change the nationality of your newlywed wife? ”
"Yes, it was the villain who did it."
Ke Xiaonan said: "Now that Peng Wenzheng's matter has been released, twenty taels of silver can be returned to you, eh, are you literate." ”
"No, I don't ......"
"Then find someone who is familiar and knowledgeable, and let him help you write down how you did things in the first place, how to give money, and how things happened, and then come to receive the money, well, no problem."
Sun Dalang was excited for a while, but he was repulsed, because Ke Xiaonan was shouting: "Wednesday eight, Wednesday eight, comrade, please come!" ”
