Volume 1 Chapter 4 This is the trouble

Zhang Bin was promoted to the director for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, he even forgot to let go of the hand that was holding the shocking wood, and kept clasping it on it.

Fortunately, at this time, the distinction between the upper and lower levels is still very clear, and most people dare not stare at their bosses, and he is the biggest official, but no one notices this detail.

As soon as the official who shouted in front of him returned to his place, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked in quickly, this is the county Cheng Hujiang, who is in charge of clerical work and warehouses.

As soon as he walked in, he first made a gesture to Zhang Bin, and then said loudly: "Lord Qiqi County, yesterday my subordinates checked the documents in the cabinet library, all the documents, the number is neat, and there is no missing. “

In ancient times, it was a felony to lose an official document, so it was generally necessary to check the documents just after the New Year.

Zhang Bin nodded and said loudly: "Well, let's check the grain in the warehouse in the next two days." “

When Hu Jiang heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The subordinates obey the order." “

This is considered the end of the matter, Zhang Bin waved his hand directly: "Well, go down." “

When Hu Jiang heard this, he bowed his hand again, and said loudly: "The subordinates retire." “

Then he took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked out.

At this time, etiquette is also quite important, if the etiquette is not careful, it is disrespectful to the boss, and the crime must also be punished.

Zhang Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was not easy to be an official in ancient times.

The next person to come in was the main Bo Huang Peiwen, who was mainly responsible for helping the county order draft documents and handle official documents.

When he came in, he still had a few pieces of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what kind of official document it was.

Zhang Bin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, don't let yourself sign or anything, he hasn't tried to write with a brush yet!

Fortunately, this Huang Peiwen didn't have any official documents to deal with, he directly arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi County, the post station has sent the latest Di newspaper." “

It turned out to be Di Bao, this thing is an announcement document to report some major events of the court, just look at it, Zhang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Well, submit it." “

The lord Bo Huang Peiwen respectfully reported the mansion, and this is also over.

Followed by the canon history and the scribes of the six rooms, the canons are mainly responsible for public security, and the public security bureau of later generations is a bit similar, and the things that the clerks of the six rooms are responsible for are a bit similar to the six departments of the imperial court, but the six departments of the imperial court are in charge of the affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty, and they are only in charge of the affairs of Pingyang County.

Since the New Year has just passed, everyone basically has nothing to do, just a routine visit, only the household clerk presents a stack of official documents.

The scrivener presented a stack of "Fish Scale Atlas", which is an atlas that describes basic information such as the size, shape, and soil quality of cultivated land.

In the Ming Dynasty, each piece of cultivated land had a separate fish scale map, and the cultivated land in an area had a general map of fish scales, and the general map was generally based on the township, and the township was only drawn into a county map, and then to the state capital, which was reported to the household department step by step, as the basis for land management and land expropriation.

This time, the cultivated land depicted on the "Fish Scale Atlas" presented to him by the household clerk was originally not from Pingyang County, but from Jinshan Weituntian, which is next to Pingyang County.

Zhang Bin knew about this matter, and it seemed that his drunkenness yesterday had something to do with these cultivated fields.

The main reason why this cultivated land was transferred to Pingyang County was that the corrupt land was investigated under the command of Jin Shan Weiyuan, who concealed the number of military households in the garrison, took the tuntian of more than 20 escaped military households as his own, and squeezed his subordinates to farm the land for free, so as to make huge profits.

Tunwei escape this kind of thing has become a common phenomenon in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is a matter of money, because the imperial court is short of money, when the tunwei is recruited to fight, not only is there no salary, but even the military food is not enough, there is no money to take in the war, there is not enough food, the conditions are difficult, and there is a possibility of dying at any time, and there is no pension when he dies, it is strange that these guards do not escape.

According to statistics, the escape of the guards in the most serious shortage of personnel is as high as seven or eight out of ten, that is to say, more than 200 households can escape from the original 1,000 households, and the serious phenomenon of the escape of the guards can be imagined.

Don't underestimate the more than 20 households that Jin Shanwei commanded to conceal from the report, when the fields were divided in the early Ming Dynasty, the standard for each adult man was 40 acres, and the old, young, women and children were 20 acres each, that is to say, a Tunwei military household had at least more than 100 acres of land at home, and more than 20 households were more than 2,000 acres.

This commander was taken away, but the cultivated land he embezzled was still there, this cultivated land naturally could not be wasted, someone had to plant, logically speaking, it should still be organized to plant the guards, and then the collected grain was handed over, but, for some reason, this land was zoned to Pingyang County.

The above meaning is very simple, that is, Zhang Bin wants to sell the land, and then hand over the money from the sale of the land.

This matter seems very simple, but Zhang Bin feels that there must be something wrong with it, because it was Xu Hui, a squire in this county, who invited him to drink last night, and the reason for inviting him to drink was to buy more than 2,000 acres of land.

However, he clearly remembered that someone approached him last year to buy more than 2,000 acres of land, and that person was not Xu Hui, but Zhao Mu, another squire in this county.

Zhao Mu actually knew last year that these lands would be zoned to Pingyang County, which is a problem in itself, Xu Hui only invited him to drink yesterday, and today this "Fish Scale Atlas" was sent over, which is even more problematic, the two squires are even more well-informed than him in this county order, no problem is strange!

Of course, now is not the time to consider this problem, the household department has already issued an official document, this land must be sold, now it's not that no one buys, but two people rush to buy, these two people are famous squires in Pingyang County, who to sell to?

It's nerve-wracking.

At the end of the morning hall, after he arranged the staff on duty in the lobby, he came to the retreat hall behind the hall, and ordered someone to recruit the master Wu Shiqi, ready to understand the situation with him before deciding who to sell the land to.

This Wu Shiqi is also a military household of Dajin, he is more than 50 years old this year, and he was admitted to the Xiucai fame in his early years, and his father invited him to assist him in handling government affairs, that is, his cronies.

Since he is a cronie, there is naturally nothing to hide, and after Wu Shiqi came in, he asked directly: "Do you know what background this Xu Hui is?" “

Wu Shiqi really knew, and he directly arched his hand and said: "Lord Huixian, this Xu Hui heard that he is a distant relative of Xu Dahua, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works. “

The left waiter of the Ministry of Works, what a big coming!

Zhang Bin then asked, "What about Zhao Mu?" “

Wu Shiqi was simply like a jack of all trades, he didn't want to think about it and said again: "I heard that this Zhao Mu took refuge in the first year of the Apocalypse. “

Donglin Party boss Qian Qianyi! Zhang Bin fell off the chair without hanging.

Xu Dahua can't be provoked, and Qian Qianyi can't be provoked, who is this land sold to.

He thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else on this Xu Dahua?" “

His meaning is already obvious, if there is no one above Xu Dahua, then he has to sell the land to Zhao Mu, and a Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry can't control him as a county order.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shiqi did not answer, but respectfully picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, took out a page and handed it to him.

Zhang Bin couldn't help but look at the newspaper, and as soon as he read a few words, his brows furrowed.

Because the Di newspaper wrote: Xu Dahua, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, impeached Yang Lian, the left imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuo Guangdou, the left of the Imperial Palace, Yuan Huazhong, the Henan Provincial Inspector of the Imperial History, Wei Dazhong, the official department, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang, the former member of the Shandong Division of the Criminal Department, accepted bribes from Xiong Tingbi, the former Liaodong Economic Strategy, and .......

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang, isn't this the six gentlemen of Donglin?

Obviously, Xu Dahua has taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, he is a eunuch!

Now it's in trouble.

If you offend Qian Qianyi, you will definitely not have a good life in the future, and if you offend Xu Dahua, you will not have a good life immediately!
