1. The foundation of the beginning of politics (I)

Hedong has changed!

This is something that all the people of Hedong know, whether they are well-dressed scholars or farmers with coarse cloth and short brown, in just one month.

Because in this month, not only was Anyi captured once by the huge Xiliang army from outside, but also the cities in the south, such as Xie County, Yishi, Puban and other cities, there were also Xiliang troops from Anyi to the past, and occupied the cities that either surrendered or held on one by one.

Of course, what really makes all the people of Hedong remember it is because in the Hedong County Government, the newly appointed Yan Taishou spread the word to the whole county, exempting the people of Hedong County from paying money and calculating the money.

The Han family system, counting the people in August, counting the people in September. At the end of August and September every year, when the autumn harvest is the time of autumn, the county will also calculate the households, collect taxes, "make a book of registration by case comparison", make a document account book of the year's income and expenditure, and then report to the county government and the court step by step, and report the people's livelihood and land production of the county.

And the lion's share of the tax, in addition to the field tax, is the mouth money, the calculation.

The mouth money is levied on minors, 23 yuan per person per year, and the calculation is levied on adults, 120 yuan per person per year.

This year's money and calculations, according to the original system, were to be collected early in the morning, but because of the external trouble of the Xiliang Army, Wang Yi and others in the county government were either busy with the deployment of troops, recruiting materials, or busy with recruiting civilian service, building city walls, or busy transporting ordnance, hoarding grain and grass.

And after the Xiliang army crossed the river and marched eastward, wars broke out frequently, and in the end, even Anyi was spared military disasters, and the Hedong County Government naturally pushed these government affairs back.

Delayed until now, at the beginning of Yan Xing's tenure, the affairs in his hands were complicated, so he simply waved his pen and exempted the oral calculation money to be levied this year.

After all, since the Xiliang army crossed the river and marched eastward, although Yan Xing affirmed military discipline along the way and claimed that Qiu had not committed any crimes, it was inevitable that some townships and pavilions would suffer from military disasters and wars where the army was fighting.

In the siege of Anyi, there were two or three hundred casualties outside the city, not to mention the civilian servants and soldiers who were conscripted in the city.

The pension given by the county government is very small compared to the loss of these households.

Therefore, Yan Xing can only reduce the burden on the families of those who have suffered from the military disaster this year in this way.

In addition to reducing the money for this year's year, the new Hedong County Government has also done two other things.

One is to liquidate the party henchmen of this rebellion.

For the sake of justification, this battle for Hedong was dubbed by Yan Xing in the name of crusading against the rebellion, rather than a naked struggle for territory between warlords.

Wei Gu and Fan Xian, who led the stubborn resistance, became the first culprits of the rebellion.

When Wei Gu captured Anyi, he died in the chaos. After Fan Xian was defeated and retreated to Xie County, he heard that Anyi had fallen, and the foundation of his Fan clan had also been dug up, so he couldn't help worrying day and night, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

When Zhai Hao and Yang Feng led the Xiliang cavalry to pursue them, the city was panicked, and Fan Xian did not dare to defend Xie County, so he abandoned the city and left.

When several horsemen fled to Jiucheng, they were chased by Yang Feng's light cavalry, and Fan Xian was unwilling to surrender and killed himself.

Although Wei Gu and Fan Xian died, Yan Xing, who entered the county government, did not seem to plan to end there.

Although he pardoned the crimes of public resistance such as guards and Qianshou, he did not intend to let go of these recalcitrant Anyi surnames, but continued to show his long-hidden iron-fisted methods.

In the following days, the patriarch who participated in the rebellion was forced to commit suicide or imprisoned, and all the fields and manors were confiscated into the county government, and their families were successively used as official slaves, and the subordinates and tenants who depended on them were also included in the jurisdiction of the Hedong county government.

After the county government's document was issued, the soldiers were exhausted, the war horses were galloping, the efficiency was amazing, the county government made a lot of money in a short period of time, and the rest of the surnames, Haoqiang, were also scared and trembling, panicking.

Resisting the entry of the Western Liang Army into Hedong was originally the local interest of Hedong.

Dare to say that who did not take the lead in participating in the rebellion, but who dared to say that there was no food and straw and people were sent to help the rebels?

Even if there really isn't, those wolf-like Xiliang soldiers rushed into the house, indiscriminately, tortured, and tortured to extract confessions, who can still be innocent?

Fortunately, in the midst of everyone's anxiety, the disaster of the great prison did not spread completely.

Because, another thing that the county government has done is to get rid of the talented people in Hedong to go out of the county government.

Among them are Jia Kui, Pei Qian, Wei Qi and others.

Jia Kui was originally the chief of Jiangyi, who was appointed by Wang Yi when he was in the county government of Hedong, and was used to check and balance the local officials of the Xiliang soldiers stationed in Jiangyi, and later when Yan Xing entered the east of the river, he resisted the Xiliang soldiers to go south, and resisted Xu Huang's soldiers and horses under the city of Jiangyi, until he learned that Anyi had fallen, Yan Xing entered the county government, and issued a surrender document in the name of Taishou, and then Kaicheng surrendered to Xu Huang.

It stands to reason that this Jia Kui will be regarded as a henchman of Wei Gu and Fan Xian, and will be imprisoned for questioning. If he is a little better, he will also be regarded as the former official of the former king, transferred from his position, marginalized, and placed above the vacant position.

But Yan Xing not only did not ask for the guilt, but also expelled him from the county government and appointed him as the governor of the southern post.

The post of postal superintendent, although the rank is not high, is a male position in the county. The county of the superintendent is the representative of the county and township of the Taishou Inspector, announcing the decree, and having the power of justice, the weight of the county order and the county Cheng, the prominent and powerful surname, all of which are within the scope of its inspection.

If there is a county that is directly supervised by the post, it will be silenced at night, and the evil will avoid the way.

Hedong is divided into two departments of the north and south of the post, the south has just been newly determined, and it is the county where the county is located, Yan Xing appointed Jia Kui as the southern superintendent of the post, on his behalf to supervise the southeast border of the river, the meaning of reliance, obvious.

And Pei Qian was removed by Yan Xing as the five senses of the county government.

Wuguan Peng, the power is equivalent to the county government Li Tingpeng, for the honorary position in the county government, there is no certain control, but it is also all-encompassing, in the spring and autumn sacrifice in the county, by the five senses Peng main sacrifice, and listed at the head of the group of officials.

All in all, this is a noble county position. When Wang Yi was in charge of Hedong, he gave this position to Wei Gu of the Wei family of Anyi, and used it to envelop the family of the big surname in Hedong.

It turned out that when Yan Xing sent the officials of the county government to Wenxi Pei's house in the county government's bus, he planned to remove Pei Qian and Pei Hui from the county government, appoint Pei Qian as the five official Peng, and appoint Pei Hui as the Hu Cao Peng, but as a result, only Pei Qian should come, and Pei Hui did not come.

The reason given by Pei Hui is that his father and brother are all from abroad, and the size of the family cannot be left unattended, and the younger brothers and sisters cannot be untaught.

This dynasty advocates filial piety, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty advertises that he rules the world with benevolence and filial piety.

And many scholars, the reason for refusing to go out of office, also borrowed the name of filial piety.

As for, some people asked, why when Wang Yi expelled the children of the Pei family to enter the palace as officials, Pei Qian and Pei Hui both politely refused and did not respond, but this time when Yan Xing eliminated Pei Qian and Pei Hui as officials, it was Pei Qian who should enter the palace, but Pei Hui refused again.

For the reason, the Pei brothers smiled and said nothing.

As for Anyi's Wei Qi, he had to come.

Although Yan Xing asked the guilt to investigate the Anyi Wei clan, after all, he was not so brutal that all the clansmen of the Zhulian Wei clan were brutal. Wei Qi was neither in Wei Gu's branch, nor did he participate in the rebellion planned by Wei Gu and others, plus his reputation was outside, so this time Yan Xing eliminated the talents in Hedong, and also specially sent the county government's bus to specifically remove him from the government.

When Wei Qi faced Yan Xing's expulsion, after thinking twice, he had to come.

The Wei clan in Hedong, with lush branches and leaves, is a county of prestige. But this time, because of Wei Gu's rebellion, it was widely implicated, and it had hurt the foundation of the Wei family, and the Anyi Wei family was almost uprooted by Yan Xing's iron-fisted methods.

Although Wei Qi was not in Wei Gu's branch, for the sake of the family's long-term plan and the safety of the family, he did not dare to provoke Yan Xing's crouching tiger's whiskers at this time, and refused to be eliminated by the county government.

So, I had to bite the bullet and enter the government under pressure.

Wei Qian is handsome and elegant, and he is courteous, and after Yan Xing met him in the mansion, he was a little happy, and after a conversation, he praised this person for his erudition and knowledge, and he was also quite accomplished in the law of criminal names, which was a talent that he needed under his command and lacked for a long time.

Yan Xing was overjoyed and appointed Wei Qi as the county government gongcao.

Gong Cao's position, the main work of his own post is "the main election agency merit", including the appointment, dismissal, reward and punishment of the county officials, but in practice, Gong Cao's position is high and powerful, and most of them are local celebrities and wealthy people, and they can often dominate the house, inside and outside the general office, and decide everything in the county government.

Just like this dynasty, Runan Taishou Zongzi appointed Gong Cao Fan, Nanyang Taishou Chengjin also appointed Gong Cao Cen Hui, Fan Peng and Cen Hui are all powerful county governments and coercive Taishou Xionggong Cao, and the two counties also rumored for it: "Runan is too Shou Fan Mengbo, and Nanyang Zong's capital is drawn a promise." Nanyang is too filial piety, and Hongnong is a young man but sits and whistles. ”

is too dignified, and has become a character who draws promises and sits and whistles.

Yan Xing's move, the information he announced to the outside world, once again included that although he was in charge of Hedong this time, and the surname of Hedong had resisted many times before, he was magnificent, regardless of his previous suspicions, except for the first evil, the rest of the people were not to blame.

Even Wei Qi, who was only a man of talent and virtue, still entrusted him with important tasks and entrusted him with the post of Gongcao in the county government.

But although Wei Qi is favored to a high position, he is always self-aware, and he is more and more cautious in his words and deeds in the county government.

He knows that the current situation in Hedong is delicate, and he is just the new Taishou, who is used to appease people's hearts and attract public opinion.

As for the rest of the Hedong talents who should be opened, Yan Xing also tried their talents, and according to their abilities and the actual situation, they were successively appointed to the positions of Peng Shi, Shuzuo, and small officials in the county government.
