Zhou Zheng has extremely strict control over the military, especially the Judge Advocate General's Office, and has adopted severe sanctions.

From the time he entered the Tianjin Wei to rectify the army, as many as 100 people were directly executed by him!

Strict military law coupled with generous treatment is Zhou Zheng's two hands in control of the army!

Zhou Zheng stayed in the military camp for more than a month before returning to Tianjin Wei, and handled a lot of things in Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion in the official office.

Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi and others took turns to report.

In the briefing, it is naturally different from the face-to-face report, Zhou Zheng listened carefully to the situation of the two prefectures, constantly gave instructions, and made adjustments and arrangements for many things.

The internal meeting lasted for more than an hour, and it was almost over, Yao Tong said: "My lord, this year's autumn taxes are already being prepared, and it is expected that the eleventh will be over, according to the speculation of the lower officials and others, the total amount should be more than one million taels, including grain tax, commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes......

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this amount, and immediately began to think about it.

Yongping Mansion is a low-class government, and it is almost the same to collect 200,000 yuan a year, but Hejian Mansion has a special location and is a high-class government, so normally it is no problem to collect 500,000 yuan, plus other commercial taxes, a total of 1 million is charged, which seems to be a matter of course.

However, the annual treasury income of the Ming Dynasty did not exceed four million! The two prefectures collected a million, which is very strange.

"It's still the same old way." Zhou Zheng said.

The so-called old method is to hand over the money and grain to the treasury, compared with the time before Zhou Zheng came. If Hejian Mansion suddenly handed over hundreds of thousands, it would be too eye-catching, and it would have to be hated to death by the government and opposition officials.

It is more likely to attract a large group of hungry wolves.

Yao Tongshun nodded clearly, and said: "The general reform of Hejian Mansion is basically completed, and now it is the same as Yongping Mansion, constantly promoting and completing it, but the resistance is not big, there is no big problem." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "It's all done once, I don't need to say anything, the key is to persevere and resolutely implement it." I have already dispatched 10 inspection teams to take turns to supervise the counties, so you must be prepared. ”

A group of people listened to Zhou Zheng's words with a slightly awe-inspiring expression.

The adult in front of them is very good to his subordinates, and he doesn't care about many things, but if he touches on the things he cares about, he will never show mercy.

Hundreds of people died in Yongping Mansion, and most of the county officials led by Ning Shan of Hejian Mansion were beheaded and sent to the capital, and hundreds of them were directly executed under various pretexts!

Of course, they wouldn't know that the brocade-clothed secret guard in Zhou Zheng's hand also secretly and unknowingly solved a lot of troublesome characters and things.

After waiting for a while, Ding Qi said: "My lord, Tianjin Wei County, the imperial court has revealed the wind, basically no problem, it belongs to Shuntian Mansion, and Shuntian Mansion requires us to prepare in advance." ”

"Shuntianfu is a good idea, we have prepared, they will send people to receive, Tianjin Wei is such a good place, we have worked hard to prepare for them......" Shangguan Lie suddenly said dissatisfied.

Qi Lian listened, and suddenly looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, can this Tianjin magistrate be able to operate into the hands of adults?" ”

Qi Lian has followed Zhou Zheng for more than a year, from the beginning of having to save his life, and now he is following him with all his heart.

Zhou Zheng also remembered at this time, looked at Yao Tong and said: "There are more than a dozen prefects vacant in Hejian Mansion, the Ministry of Officials, what is the saying on the side of the imperial court?" ”

The main contact with the capital was Yao Tongshun, and Zhou Zheng also successively handed him some hidden channels and resources.

Yao Tongshun thought for a while and said, "My lord, more than 30 people were selected by the Ministry of Officials, and they were selected for selection, but many people were reluctant to come to Hejian Mansion, and six were willing to come, but they were stuck in the cabinet, and a few were stuck in the celebrant supervisor...... Things are a little strange, and the lower officials are still inquiring. ”

Zhou Zheng listened, and his expression was also a little playful, did someone understand that he deliberately stuck the three magistrates in Yongping Mansion to take office, so Hejian Mansion also voted for him?

Zhou Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, and said quietly: "Well, then inquire first, and in the name of the official residence of the Qincha, send a document to the ministry to inquire." After the autumn harvest, taking advantage of the dry season, continue to rectify the lakes and rivers, build ports, and register some merchant ships from the south to the north. ”

Ding Qi and Yao Tongshun and others responded and said some other things.

At the end, Zhou Zheng turned to Chu Jin and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Chu Jin said: "My lord, Liaodong has been relatively stable recently, except for a trial, Jianyu has rarely mobilized troops, including Mongolia, and has frequently shown favor to the imperial court recently, it seems that he wants to negotiate peace, and he also asks for mutual markets." ”

Zhou Zheng was not surprised, with the urine of the Ming court, he must have decisively refused.

Chu Jin saw that Zhou Zheng didn't ask, so he continued: "The civil rebellion in the northwest is getting more and more intense, many officers and soldiers have failed, the general soldier Feng Jiang was defeated and killed in Hezhou, and the government and the opposition mourned, and Yang Shilang has been ordered to supervise the military affairs of Shaanxi to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion. ”

Yang Shilang, Yang He, the soldier of the military department.

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and did not speak.

The joint of the Shaanxi Rebellion is that the people are not able to make a living, as long as this point is not solved, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless.

The imperial court may not be blind to this, but it is powerless to solve it, in addition to suppression, the repeated 'suppression' controversy has become more and more serious, and finally it is suppressed.

Chu Jin waited for a while, and then said: "The civil unrest in Shandong has also been rising recently, especially the White Lotus Sect, which is very active at the junction of Shandong and Beizhili, and even tens of thousands of people, openly founding the country, attacking the prefectures and counties, I heard that Lord Lu has been ordered to encircle and suppress. ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, but still didn't speak.

The kingdom is about to die, and evil will come out.

In troubled times, these demons and monsters are indispensable. Even Lu Xiangsheng was dispatched, and it seems that it has spread to the area of Zhending, and even entered the Daimyo's Mansion, causing the vigilance and anger of the imperial court.

The Daimyo's Mansion is very close to the Kawama Mansion.

However, Zhou Zheng has been suppressing bandits in the Hejian Mansion army for most of the year, and the White Lotus Sect should not be able to enter.

Chu Jin saw that Zhou Zheng still didn't care, paused, and said: "My lord, Shandong, Beizhili, and Henan are all very close to us, and the imperial court is now suppressing bandits everywhere, and the army is overstretched, and the officials speculate, I'm afraid it won't be long before adults will be recruited." ”

Zhou Zheng drank tea with his hand, slowly put down the teacup, and looked thoughtful.

He led troops to suppress bandits, which was expected by him, this was an inevitability, and sooner or later, it couldn't be stopped.

But he had just established himself in Tianjin Wei, and he was not properly prepared, so he couldn't leave for the time being.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zheng looked at everyone's concerned eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, a bunch of things, I can't leave for the time being, I will make a case to the imperial court, and I really want to edict me to suppress bandits, at least next year." ”

Everyone was immediately relieved when they heard this, they were all people who followed Zhou Zheng, they were all 'civil officials', if Zhou Zheng left, they would be rootless, and they might be beaten back to their original form all of a sudden.
