The various government affairs of Yongping Mansion have made rapid progress under the strong pressure of Zhou Zheng.

By the middle of May, the number of households, acres of land, etc., fell on Zhou Zheng's desk.

Zhou Zheng looked at the information sent by Zhang Heyi and said, "The population is 220,000, and the acres of land are 11,000 hectares......

Zhang Heyi said: "According to the estimates of the lower officials, the population and acres of land are still hidden, but it should not be much, and this number is about nearly eighty." ”

"Eighty percent, well, it's okay in such a short time." Zhou Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was not dissatisfied, Zhang Heyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "My lord, next, the lower officials are going to re-measure the acres of land and divide them again." It should be that every household will have acres of land, and if it has increased, the people will not be dissatisfied. ”

When he arrived here, instead of being relaxed, Zhou Zheng was under great pressure, and said: "Well, ten miles is a village, ten villages are a town, the mayor, the village head, and the town mayor must be appointed by their own officials, and then, based on the village, quickly measure the land, and it must be carried out at the same time, speed up, divide as soon as possible, and cannot delay ......"

Zhang Heyi raised his hand and said, "Yes!" Xiaguan, Lord Yao, Lord Ding and others are ready to rush to various places to personally supervise and ensure that there will be no chaos. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said: "Everyone who can use it can use it, don't distinguish between inside and outside, we are now in urgent need of manpower, we can't delay, even if there are some problems, the key is speed, some small problems can be made up for later......"

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!" Zhang Heyi said.

When Zhang Heyi left, Zhou Zheng called Shangguan Lie and said, "Where is Cao Bianjiao now?" ”

Shangguan Lie raised his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Two days ago, my sister was in Funing County, and Cao Jinsheng should be in Changli County. ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "You call Cao Bianjiao and your sister back, Cao Bianjiao's 200 people, your sister's 300 people bring back, and the others will continue to suppress bandits according to the plan." ”

Shangguan Lie was stunned and said, "My lord, is something wrong?" ”

Zhou Zheng handed over a piece of paper to Shangguan Lie and said, "You write an official document according to my intentions, and then send it out." ”

Shangguan Lie took it in confusion, looking at this official document, his eyes widened and he was surprised.

This is a recruitment document, the content of which is probably that all those who join the army have an annual salary of twenty taels, clothes and armor are provided by the government, and there are generous subsidies and pensions for injuries and war deaths, in addition, as long as you have joined the army for three months, you can advance half a year's salary in advance!

Twenty taels, the average five-grade official is equivalent to this Yulu. You can also advance half a year in advance, this is too generous!

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a cold face, and said, "I want to recruit 10,000 people within three months, and all of you have to contribute, understand?" ”

Shangguan Lie looked at Zhou Zheng and was stunned. He knew that another important task of Zhou Zheng was to clean up the armaments of Yongping Mansion to support Liaodong, but to recruit 10,000 people in three months, how much silver would it cost?

However, he reacted quickly and said continuously: "Yes, yes, I'll go find someone to write, and then send it to each of them through the six rooms." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Go ahead." ”

Shangguan Lie took Zhou Zheng's handwritten book and left in a hurry.

Zhou Zheng heard the sound of the door closing and took the letter in his hand.

This was written to him by Father Zhou, Zhou Qingli has always been cautious and silent, and he was able to let him write a letter to Zhou Zheng in person, which shows that it has been serious to a certain extent in the capital.

Zhou Zheng looked at the letter and groaned in his heart.

Father Zhou's letter seemed unremarkable, asking him about his recent situation in Yongping Mansion, and between the lines, he slightly pointed out the sentence 'The government and the opposition are turbulent, the people are panicked, and they are afraid that there will be another change, so they must be cautious'.

Zhou Zheng stared at this sentence, was silent for a long time, picked up the pen, and began to write a letter.

After writing this letter from Father Zhou, Zhou Zheng hesitated, picked up the pen again, and wrote another one, this one was for Li Zhong.

Li Zhong is Zhou Zheng's most important chess piece, and he doesn't want to use it as a last resort. But the stakes of Yongping Mansion are very high, especially the possibility that Jianyu will enter the customs from Xifengkou next year, which really makes Zhou Zheng uneasy.

No, you have to use it.

Zhou Zheng quickly wrote a letter and asked people to send it to the capital as soon as possible.

Yongping Mansion is now in chaos, on the one hand, in government affairs, Zhou is vigorously advancing, I don't know how many people are dissatisfied; And the suppression of bandits has affected the entire Yongping Mansion, and the army of the bandits is a knife hanging over everyone's heads, making them afraid to move, and they are also resentful and sleepless.

Late at night, an uninvited guest came to Zheng Qing's mansion.

Zheng Qing looked at him, his expression was very panicked, and said, "You, you are ......"

The person who came was an old man in his sixties and seventies, who was on crutches and said, "Master Zheng, why didn't you write a book to impeach Zhou Zheng?" ”

Zheng Qing was still panicking in his heart, he had seen this person five years ago, he was the prefect of Yongping Mansion fifteen years ago, and he was Zhang Yonglian's father-in-law, wasn't it rumored that he was dead?

Zheng Qing quickly woke up, his eyes flickered, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss, it's not that the lower officials don't want to, it's that Zhou Zheng is too powerful, and he bluntly told me that if I have the slightest abnormality, he will link me with Lingzi's case and go directly to prison." ”

The old man's name is Zhang Deyao, he snorted coldly, and said: "Now the government and the opposition are very critical of what Zhou Zheng has done in Yongping Mansion. ”

Zheng Qing thought that Zhang Deyao had been in the capital for the past few years, and his heart moved slightly, and said, "My lord, what arrangements do you have in Beijing?" ”

Zhang Deyao looked indifferent, with endless anger and killing intent in his eyes, and said in a light tone: "Will you go to school?" ”

Zheng Qing was forced by Zhou Zheng to be a bird, worried all day long, afraid of being thrown out by Zhou Zheng as a scapegoat, and afraid that Zhou Zheng would affect him, listening to Zhang Deyao's words, his eyes changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaguan and the old man go to the book together!" ”

Zhang Deyao hummed, turned around and walked away on crutches.

Zheng Qing stretched out his hand to stop him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch Zhang Deyao leave.

Standing in place for a while, Zheng Qing looked ruthless, entered the study, picked up the pen and began to write.

Zhou Zheng is still busy with his business, with the acres of fields in various places, the household probably knows that the next step is to measure the acres of land and redivide, and the resistance here will be greater than before.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng has already controlled the Yongping Mansion, and Cao Bianjiao's army of bandits can deter those with ill intentions at any time.

For the first time, Zhou Zheng also set up a 'Propaganda Division' to vigorously publicize his policies in Yongping Province, and won over many famous people to preach in Yongping Province in order to gain maximum support.

The innovation of Yongpyeong Mansion was vigorous, but it also offended countless people.

Three days later, the capital, Qianqing Palace.

Shi Fenglai and Zhou Qingli stood in front of Chongzhen's imperial table, Chongzhen's face was calm, and he couldn't see any attitude.

Shi Fenglai held Zheng Qing's impeachment of Zhou Zheng in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, Yongping Mansion sentenced Zheng Qing to impeach Zhou Zhengyun, kill officials, and rob the people. He is an envoy to the Imperial Envoy, which is also detrimental to the Holy Virtue, and the minister suggested that Zhou Zhengyun be recruited back and strictly investigated! ”
