Stabilization! Stabilization!

The landslide is in front of it and the color does not change!

Zhu Pingjin waved away Tan Fang, the little girl who heard the news and came to deliver food. Completely ignoring the little girl's aggrieved eyes, she locked herself in the office and closed her eyes in contemplation.

We must find out our strengths and make full use of them.

Qingyang Palace burned well, so that all the evidence was burned out. Hou Dong must be transferred as soon as possible, and he cannot be allowed to stay in the palace.

Where to go?

Zhu Pingjin turned around several places in his mind, and finally chose the place where he made his fortune - Bifeng Gorge. Two platoons of the Mingshan County Huzhuang Cadre Squadron have been stationed in that place for many years, and the security and confidentiality are good. As for Qingyang Palace, lose money! Ten thousand taels? Twenty thousand taels? Anything that can be solved with silver is not a big deal!

Zhu Pingjin stroked his chest hard, smoothing out the ordinary beating heart. In a sudden crisis, it was inevitable that he was in a hurry, but now that everything that should have come came, he calmed down.

Is it enough to use only a spy organization to fight against Chen Shiqi and Liu Zhibo? Objectively speaking, Chen Shiqi and Liu Zhibo are not corrupt officials. Chen Shiqi has a bad problem of being a literati, and his personal ethics are much better than that of Liao Daheng. Liu Zhibo is even more incorruptible, and the concubine goes to the street to buy vegetables, often green vegetables and radish tofu, and the meat is only bought once the next day. It is said that there is also a famous Qing official in Sichuan, that is, Ge Qizuo, who is in charge of the upper patrol road of Baoning Mansion in northern Sichuan. Ge Qizuo is a native of Gaochun County, a second-class jinshi in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and he is also a character with two sleeves and a clean breeze and loves the people like a son.

Zhu Pingjin was indignant. Otherwise, why would all the officials who counted a little bit come to me for trouble? Why do corrupt officials like Liao Tycoon take the initiative to cooperate with me and flatter me?

Is it really as the old saying goes: "Things gather by like, and people gather by groups"?

Thinking of the big corrupt official Liao Daheng, Zhu Pingjin's mood was slightly better. It seems that I have found an organization, and I have a sense of intimacy. With the support of Liao Daheng, it is equivalent to the support of the entire corrupt group, and the pressure on the embattled will be reduced a lot.

"Looking at Chinese history, are there more corrupt officials or more clean officials? Of course, there are many corrupt officials! Zhu Pingjin said to himself viciously in his heart.

He had already raised his palm high, about to pat off the corrupt aura on the dragon robe, and then gently lowered his palm again.

He opened the folder in front of him again, read Cheng Xiangfeng's report again, and the good cooperation with the big corrupt official Liao Daheng appeared in front of him since the beginning of this year.

At the beginning of this year, in Renshou, Pengshan and Yazhou, Zhu Pingjin had a large amount of land in the accounts. Since the beginning of summer and autumn, some gains have been made in Jiading Prefecture, Hanzhou, Chongqing Prefecture and Jianzhou.

As soon as Liao reached an agreement, he couldn't wait to start counting his expected income. He first secretly sent a letter to the three places, asking the three places to report the donation figures received by the palace.

The new magistrate of Renshou is said to have been appointed by the imperial court and may still be on the way, so no one in Renshou County paid attention to Liao Daheng at all.

Pengshan County is currently the acting director of Shuangliu County, who was temporarily appointed by the feudal department. The whole county of Shuangliu County is full of Wangzhuang Juntun, Pengshan County is the world of caravans, and the battlefield of the Battle of Jiangkou is also on the border of Shuangliu County, so this county is the same as Li Jia of Shuangliu County, and they are all old people who have been dealing with the palace for a long time. Knowing that Liao Daheng sent a letter, the county Cheng quickly ran back to Laowo Shuangliu from Pengshan, and dragged Pengshan to take office on the grounds of handing over affairs to Li Jia, the magistrate of the county, and finally dragged the matter out.

The kingdom of Yazhou Zhizhou is more than Shuangliu County. In his submission, he was straightforward, saying that it was true that the royal palace on the boundary of Yazhou occupied a lot of land, but the palace did not accept half an inch of land from traitors. According to investigation, the land was bought by the palace with white flowers, as evidenced by the sale and delivery contract between the two parties.

In short, Liao Daheng's letter was gray-haired, and in the end nothing was found.

Liao Daheng was deflated and was not reconciled, and sent his henchman Zhao Master to visit the three places secretly.

Before Master Zhao set off, he got the news that Liao Daheng had reached a secret agreement with the palace out of nowhere, and after going out for two or three days, he wrote to Dong Weng saying that he was sick and asked to return to his hometown to rest for a year.

Liao Tycoon knows what's going on. For the sake of Master Zhao's follower for many years, he still left him in Chengdu Mansion.

Master Zhao was blessed by misfortune. He did not go to the governor's yamen, but he took the monthly curtain gold.

Liao Daheng had nothing to do, so he had to sacrifice his killer Mr. Liu again. Mr. Liu really lived up to expectations, and soon got the figure that Liao Daheng wanted from Zhu Pingjin: 100,000 each for Pengshan and Renshou, 50,000 for Yazhou, 30,000 for Jiading, Chongqing Prefecture, Hanzhou, Jianzhou and other places, a total of 20,000, totaling 300,000 mu. According to the standard of five cents per mu this year, the total is 15,000 taels.

Fifteen thousand taels, which is much less than the hundreds of thousands of taels that Liao Tycoon had previously expected.

Liao was of course extremely disappointed. However, he had already discovered that he didn't have such a big appetite at all, and he could swallow all of Zhu Pingjian's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into his stomach.

Even if you get this money, you have to share the profits. Take a little in the province and a little at the local level; If you take a little for a private person, you have to take a little for the treasury; Sichuan takes a little, and the imperial court, especially the emperor, also has to take a little, so that the interests of all parties can be balanced, and all parties can oppose less and support more. As long as the private piece is handed over to Liao Daheng to preside over the distribution of the spoils.

In addition to the silver in the field, Lord Liao now has more and greater pursuits. A secret agreement is just the cornerstone of Liao Daheng and Zhu Pingjin working together to build a better tomorrow, so he will not turn his face with Zhu Pingjin because of this!

Through his relative, Mr. Liu, Liao Daheng readily recognized the land figures reported by Zhu Pingjian.

Zhu Pingjin also promised that only after the autumn harvest, the silver could be in place.

Mr. Liu and Cheng Xiangfeng met last night, and Mr. Liu nakedly stated that Cheng Xiangfeng and the two sides should work together to do bigger business. The silkworm cliff pass in Dujiangyan, the Longquanyi in Huayang County, etc., the royal government set up cards to charge, and Liao Daheng sent his own people to protect the local patrol, and then the two sides divided the accounts.

Silkworm Ya Pass is an important pass connecting Songpan Maozhou in the interior of western Sichuan. Like Feixian Pass, it is also an important channel for the tea and horse trade.

Longquanyi is an important land port connecting Jianzhou and Zizhou in Chengdu, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway in the previous life, whether it is a high-speed national highway or an bullet train, did not hesitate to squeeze into this narrow passage.

Controlling these two passes, whether militarily or economically, is of course only good for Zhu Pingjian, and there is no harm to it. It's just that with such a sparse card layout, it is difficult to achieve the goal of forcing the gentry to surrender by setting up cards to collect taxes proposed by Sun Hongjuan of Songlin Mountain.

So the agents of the two sides bargained for a while and reached an agreement again: the royal government can choose a place in the province to set up a card to collect taxes, but half of the income must also go into the government's pocket. In order to ensure revenue transparency, the government can send personnel to supervise the various toll gates.

Cheng Xiangfeng's harvest from Liao Daheng is not limited to this. Because of the importance of the matter, Mr. Liu was afraid that the royal government would not believe in his qualifications as a representative. So early this morning, I led Cheng Xiangfeng to meet Liao Daheng.

Liao Daheng and Cheng Xiangfeng face to face, of course, they would not say anything about the cooperation between the two sides to make money and share the account, but at the request of Cheng Xiangfeng, he expressed a few personal views on the royal palace and the court. He suggested that the palace folded to the emperor, indicating that the Shu palace had made up a sum of silver by cutting down on food and clothing, and the origin of this silver could be explained in detail. The origin is clear, and the more important thing is that this silver explains how the silver is used:

The first is to ask the emperor for approval, half of the cost of the funeral of Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, will be paid by the Shu Wangfu himself, and the other half will be discounted by the three salaries of the Sichuan people. In a word, half of the Shu Wangfu is out, and half is out of the imperial court.

According to the etiquette system, the prince's funeral should be presided over by the imperial court, so it should be paid for by the imperial court. The court paid money, in fact, the emperor issued an edict to show that it was "rich", and then the Sichuan treasury took out the silver, and finally deducted it from the taxes paid to the court in Sichuan. But last year, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan and stirred, and the Sichuan treasury was empty, where could he afford such a large amount of expenses? The imperial court defaulted on its debts, so many things had to be compensated to the Shu Palace.

Second, he explained to the emperor that the clan branch of the Shu clan had been in arrears for several years, and many of the distant clan members began to go hungry, and even became thieves and beggars on the street. A few vivid and tear-jerking examples can be given in this regard. For those clans whose lives are particularly difficult, in order to preserve the friendship of relatives, the Shu Wangfu has issued Zonglu emergency relief on behalf of the imperial court. The number of Zonglu on behalf of the agent should be accurate to two cents.

In order to solve the problem of eating for the sect branches, they asked the imperial court to allow them to find their own jobs.

Third, it was further explained to the emperor that in recent years, Sichuan had frequent wars and serious land abandonment. In order to solve the problem of eating for the clan, the Shu Wangfu convened the displaced people to reclaim the wasteland on the basis of the approval of the government. When the grain is harvested, he is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver to help the household. If the wind and rain in Sichuan are good next year, another 10,000 taels of silver will be donated to help the salary.

Liao Daheng made a suggestion and told Cheng Xiangfeng that the governor yamen was willing to replay this piece to His Majesty. As for the simultaneous transfer of the patrol according to the yamen, Liao Daheng will do the work.

……

Zhu Pingjin pushed away Cheng Xiangfeng's written report in front of him and smiled slightly.

The three salary discounts, the distribution of Zonglu on behalf of the people, and the reclamation of wasteland were all excuses for Zhu Pingjin to occupy land and collect contributions. But Liao Tycoon's suggestion is completely politically correct and his position is impartial. It not only saved a lot of expenses for the imperial court, but also benefited the Sichuan Provincial Government and the people, which fully reflected the ideological consciousness and work level of Liao Daheng as a provincial high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty!

The cost of a funeral at the prince's level is not a small amount, and the construction of the mausoleum alone is an astronomical amount! Zhu Pingjin remembered that the mausoleum of Zhu Chun, the first king of Shu, cost nearly one million taels, which was still extremely simple. The Mausoleum of the Jingshi Emperor, such as the Taichang Emperor who also ate red pills to death and only served as an emperor for a few days. The mausoleum was built in the worst, but the project cost several million.

However, Liao Daheng used the tomb of the King of Shu as an excuse, which was purely looking for trouble. Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, began to build his own mausoleum since the beginning of the feudal country, and it has been repaired for more than ten years. When a person dies, he repairs a tomb, and the corpse doesn't stink and mold into water?

But since the imperial court wants to be the head of this wrong, you can't help but let him be. Because it is mandatory by law. You can't fail to comply, or someone will impeach you and say you're overstepping. So Zhu Pingjin's father has been dead for more than two months, and he is still parked in the carrier hall, and he can't be buried in the ground.

According to Liao Daheng's idea, the princes of the court did not approve it, but he had a bag in his head.

As for blackmailing the imperial court to Zong Lu, it is estimated that even the emperor will be very uncomfortable when he sees it.

Liao Daheng sees it very accurately, the current emperor is a person who wants to die and save face, and he is most afraid of being criticized by others. The royal family was starved to death, and it is likely to be written into history.

That kind of pressure is absolutely unbearable for the current emperor!

……

Zhu Pingjin pulled back the folder, dipped the pen in the inkstone pond, and commented:

"Liao Fu's discussion is very good! Mr. Cheng is requested to follow this draft. The matter of setting up a card must be discussed by Miss Luo when she returns home. It should also be noted that the silver of the son of this world to bury his father was obtained from the sale of the palace of the first king! ”

Zhu Pingjin closed the document with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Set up a card to collect taxes, and the government will send someone to supervise? Well, we welcome with open arms!

Don't think that just you, Liao Daheng, can be a corrupt official, and the people below you who are engaged in supervision can't be corrupt officials? The people below you have been hollowed out and decayed, and what is reported is not the same as the number of immortals?

One is positive and one is strange, one is bright and one is dark, which is not only the art of war, but also the royal road.

Zhu Pingjian's knuckles tapped on the tabletop.

After several hesitations, he finally made up his mind to deal with the multi-pronged approach, multi-pronged, front and back, and attack from all sides.

At this moment, he heard Tan Fang shouting in surprise outside the window, "Miss Luo, are you back?" ”

Zhu Pingjin hurriedly got up to welcome his wife. As soon as he walked to the door of the office, he grabbed the brass pull ring of the door, and heard Tan Fang's aggrieved voice again:

"Miss Luo, the prince is on a hunger strike!"

This damn girl!

Gotta find a chance, Tingcane's chick's ass!
