At this time, Liu Guoneng attacked Jinzhai with 20,000 people, which borders Henan.

Zuo Liangyu, who was annoyed by Wang Jiazhen, led an army of 60,000 to return north under the pretext of "the military situation is urgent and the opportunity is fatal", and he will not play with them.

On the day of returning to the north, Zuo Liangyu's troops participated in the brigades of Qianshan, Yingshan, and Taihu Lake (the military structure of the brigade existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it referred to the general of Dazhen) plundered and plundered, and returned all the way north with countless people's women.

The officials everywhere they passed were all panicked, and Zhang Guowei, the governor of Yingtian, couldn't restrain him, and watched Zuo Liangyu leave Anhui with 60,000 horses.

However, Zuo Liangyu is not a fool, let alone a novice in political struggle. In the direction of Huoshan, the shouting of killing suddenly sounded, which seemed to be the best explanation for Zuo Liangyu to give Nanjing and the military premiers of the five provinces with an active attitude of marching troops.

In fact, fools also know that they are all plays performed by Zuo Liangyu, made for the blind to see, which shows how arrogant the feudal town was at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, Zhang Guowei was pouring bitter water in front of Wang Yue, and now he is finally relieved, and the receiver is here.

Wang Yue asked, "How many troops do you have now?" Where are they all gathered? ”

Zhang Guowei said: "According to the reports obtained recently, most of the thieves have withdrawn to Qianshan, Tongcheng, Huoshan and other places near Anqing. ”

"Among them, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of the giant bandits, there are also Liu Guoneng, Zhang Tianlin, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Hui Dengxiang, and Li Wanqing."

Among them, Liu Guoneng has 60,000 troops, Zhang Tianlin has 30,000 horses, Luo Ru has 120,000 soldiers and horses, and Hui Dengxiang has 50,000 horses. Li Wanqing has more than 20,000 horses. ”

"Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, has the most people, with 200,000 people, and there are about 500,000 thieves."

Wang Yue knew that although Zhang Guowei said that although there were many rogue troops, which sounded scary, the real soldiers should be one-tenth of the proportion, which was also the characteristic of the peasant army, that is, there were many cannon fodder. I have to admire the coercion ability of these gangsters, and more than 200,000 have rapidly grown to 500,000.

It's nice to have a stick and a dung fork as a weapon for these cannon fodder, but it's also a hassle when there are a lot of them.

As soon as he spoke, he entered the Suzhou Mansion and walked straight to the governor's yamen. Of course, after the amphibious assault vehicle entered the city, it was a surprised look all the way.

There are five rooms in the front and back halls of the Yamen of the Governor of the Heavenly Patrol, two corridors through the hall, several rooms of the gate and the porch of the instrument, the east and left sides build the bedroom, and the east is built to appreciate the merits. Outside the gate, set up two arches to calm and calm. In the south of the screen wall, there are three divisions and halls, which are thought to be the places for patrols and military meetings. There is also a backyard to house the inner family, and the backyard has been expanded many times and is huge in scale.

"Lord Zhang, I don't think I need to bother with the handover. Everything on the ground of Tianfu is as usual, and there are any old accounts, which are all taken over. Wang Yue smiled and spoke.

Zhang Guowei, who was sorting out the documents and wanted to show them to Wang Yue, was also shocked. If this is really done, Wang Yue will suffer a lot. It can't be a temptation, right? Many things in officialdom have unspoken rules. For example, if the predecessor falls short, the successor generally has to continue.

Although Zhang Guowei is not very greedy as an official, the previous term was greedy, and Zhang Guowei has not filled this hole until now. Hey, it's good now, Wang Yue's words are left to be smoothed. I was worried that Wang Yue didn't understand this, but now it seems that he can easily step down.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are not incorruptible. Zhang Guowei is not bad, but he has not lost some gray income. These are all very normal things, otherwise how can you support your family with that little money?

Stationed in Suzhou, Wang Yue and Zhang Guowei handled the handover, and more than a dozen accounting cashiers brought by their own accounts took over. Regardless of whether this account is flat or not, Wang Yue let people take it. This hole Wang Yue still doesn't see in his eyes,

Jiangnan is such a treasure, it is wealth to play with it casually, as long as you can operate, the thinking of people in this era is still too rigid.

Things went very smoothly, Wang Yue was also very interesting, there was no legendary domineering, Zhang Guowei was in a good mood, and he invited Wang Yue to the best restaurant in Suzhou that night, which was regarded as a thank you.

The accompanying officials are all officials of Yingtianfu, and there are also the most popular women in Suzhou Mansion singing and dancing on the banquet.

When the wine was in full swing, Wang Yue suddenly coughed heavily. Everyone was shocked, put down the wine glass, and the women who were retiring from the fun all looked at Wang Yue.

Governor Wang smiled slightly and said, "Benxian took over as Governor Yingtian, and here are three things. First, the imperial court ordered the Suzhou Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, and Yangzhou Prefecture to complete the tax payment within a time limit, and you should find a way to solve it yourself. ”

The prefects of the three prefectures below bowed their heads when they heard this, Wang Yue meant that you should wipe your own buttocks, and I won't participate in this kind of shit.

The tax of the Ming Dynasty refers to the grain tax, which is borne by the common people, and the large households that occupy the most land are those who pay less or do not pay taxes. Wang Yue didn't have time to solve this problem yet, so he put it aside for now.

Why aren't taxes coming up? It's the same in any era, it must be that the related households don't pay taxes, and those powerless people dare not pay them?

The Ming Dynasty has a saying that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and at the county level, the real tax collectors are actually officials rather than officials, and the officials are the gentry below. In the past 200 years, a huge network of relationships has been formed at the grassroots level. These prefects and counties all have a term of office, and they don't have much to do with these officials and networks who don't have a term of office, just like Chongzhen can't do anything with the civil official group, and it's not wrong to say that the Ming Dynasty is terminally ill.

"Second, everything is business as usual in all prefectures and counties, and this constitution will be ordered to suppress bandits, and the localities will depend on you."

"Thirdly, this is more important! When Ben Xian entered Suzhou, he saw that the sanitation on the streets of Suzhou was very poor, the environment was chaotic, and the situation of vendors occupying the roads was also very serious, so Ben Xian decided to set up a chengguan team to deal with it. ”

Suzhou, as the capital city and the residence of the governor of Yingtian, is also a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, the urban environment is strong in Beijing, and Wang Yue is just looking for a reason.

Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, has now been removed from office by the imperial court, and his official position will be lost if he is not careful, and it is when he is trembling, he never expected that Wang Yue's first fire would burn on his head.

"Zhong, Zhongcheng, Xiaguan ......!" Chen Hongmian stood up tremblingly to say something.

Wang Yue waved his hand to interrupt his speech, and said with a smile: "This constitution does not mean to blame Governor Chen, but my personal requirements for the urban environment are relatively high, so the establishment of the urban management team and the governance of the urban environment are personally handled by this constitution." ”

Okay, as long as Wang Yue's new official didn't burn his head three times when he took office, Wang Yue wanted to toss on the street, so let him go.

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he continued to talk and laugh, he should drink and drink, he should laugh and laugh, and he should hug the courtesan who accompanied the wine, but he was not polite at all.
