Chapter 204: Drama Thief
Gao Qifeng is still very shrewd financially. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was transferred to Suining Renzhi County, and he also wanted to do something.
For example, the city wall of Suining County, in the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the Yellow River overflowed at Xin'ankou, the flood was surging, and the city wall of the county seat was washed away, and the official houses and houses were swallowed up by the water, and this phenomenon was maintained until Gao Qifeng was transferred to Renzhi County.
After he took office, he tried every means to rebuild the city wall of Suining City, and also built a polder wall outside, ending the history of Suining City without a city wall for ten years.
Gao Qifeng also wanted to repair the streets in various parts of the city, such as several main streets, all paved with bluestone avenues, but he gave up because of lack of money and food.
Gao Qifeng is therefore obsessed with it, and he is sensitive to money matters.
According to what he knows, the tolerance of Yazhong who was arrested and killed is afraid that there is a lot of money, especially Xia Shiyin, Xun Tianzheng and other head hunters, who have accumulated from generation to generation, I am afraid that the wealth in the family will exceed 10,000 taels.
This is a terrifying number, measured by the price of rice, 10,000 taels of silver, in the future generations, at least 5 million net worth, 20,000 taels, is 10 million.
Then there are fast catchers, ordinary catchers, it is normal for the family to have thousands of taels of assets, and they will catch them, even thousands of taels.
There are also those deceptions, fighting lines, who have been rampant and domineering for many years, and have accumulated a lot of money.
In this way, even if Yang He said that the righteous people are rewarded, the sufferers are compensated, the abducted children are pursued, and the alms are allocated for peacehouse, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver in all kinds of surpluses.
As for the sanatorium mentioned by Yang He, it was generally set up in various parts of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and there was one in every county, which adopted widows and lonely poor and beggars. There are also welfare charities such as Nursery Hall, Anji Fang, Nursing Home, Futian Hospital, and Leaky Garden.
In the heyday, some almshouses could even eat white rice, generally given two meals a day, utensils, firewood, vegetables, etc. were all handled by the government, and the sick were allocated for medical treatment, and the dead were given coffins for burial.
Many nursing homes are huge, such as Wanping Nursing Home, which adopted 1,800 widows, widows, orphans, orphans, and disabled people in the first year of Wanli, and 2,800 people in the tenth year of Wanli.
This is the benevolent government in ancient times, but at the end of the imperial dynasty, many almshouses were abandoned, just like the city of the Ming Dynasty has always been known for its cleanliness, like a garden city, but now it has become dirty and messy, because of the loss of financial resources.
In addition, the urban and rural residents have fled, and those who could be sold for money have been specially purchased from house to house to buy people's dung, and no one has taken away the dung of livestock, and the tidiness has become untidy.
The almshouse is benevolent, praised by the gentry and the common people, and the search for abducted children for thousands of miles will be passed on as a good story.
Gao Qifeng's heart became hot, which literati is not famous?
And if you have money in your hands, you can do things, repair the roads in the city, and pave the bluestone slabs, even if he Gao Qifeng is transferred away later, the people will think of him, miss him, and praise him when they walk on the bluestone road.
The literati have a good name, what is the picture not for?
Thinking of this, Gao Qifeng said: "It is the duty of this official to pursue the abducted children. The government immediately pursued the general office, the official himself served as the general office, you sat down, and found some powerful gentry as assistants. Wherever those children are in the north and south of the river, they must be found and laid to rest in the almshouse. ”
Yang He bowed and said: "The county respects benevolence and benevolence, and the lower officials admire it." ”
He said this sentence sincerely.
Gao Qifeng may have a lot of problems, but at least he still has some heart for the people and wants to do something practical for the people.
Gao Qifeng also looked at Yang He more pleasantly, he picked up the teacup and groaned for a long time, and said: "Wei Kungang is correct, and the officials have to transfer the canonical history, not for a while." In this way, Shen Yan, for the time being, you will take care of it, and when the county officials are vacant, you will also draw up a roster. ”
The canonical history is the official of the imperial court, and it is decided by the Ministry of Jingshi, and Gao Qifeng can't interfere in this regard, but it is okay to let Yang He temporarily take care of it.
In return for the favor, Yang He gave the county a large amount of money and vacated the quota of the officials, and Gao Qifeng also asked Yang He to deal with it.
Although the officials are untouchables, they have always been popular in various counties, and they generally have to be filled, and each person has to spend at least fifty taels of silver, and in many large counties, it even costs one or two hundred taels of silver.
However, even if they don't lose their conscience and don't stand up for the green skins, they normally collect some small money, and they have an income of dozens of taels of silver a year, even if they spend a hundred taels of silver, it doesn't take many years to return to the capital.
It is also a public meal, and some officials are old, so they let their children and grandchildren take over, and it is a very popular occupation in various states and counties.
Now the third class of the county government and the fast class have all been wiped out, half of the number of people in the soap class has been removed, and only one of the eight guards guarding the county jail remains, and the vacant quota is as high as 60 people.
Gao Qifeng felt that with Yang He's quota in hand, he would definitely be able to make a big profit, which was also the benefit fee he gave Yang He.
Yang He received the order, he had a lot of ideas about this, and he also wanted to set up a new system in Suining County, but the matter of the rogue was urgent, and the military law was temporarily carried out, and he would talk about it after the rogue was over.
The two talked about some more details of the operation, and then went to the lobby.
Zhou Mingyuan of the head office here, Liu Zunhe, the county leader, and Zheng Shixin, the chief bookkeeper, are all waiting.
Liu Zunhe and Zheng Shixin have been in the county office, and the things on the street have been seen from beginning to end, especially when they know that Wei Kungang was killed in the classic history, and they are all frightened.
Zheng Shixin looked at Yang He with some fear, and Liu Zunhe was even more silent, his eyes dodging.
Gao Qifeng talked about the detailed work of searching for and arresting the thieves, especially the matter of the thieves in Wei Kungang, and he decided to write a joint letter with Yang He, the general manager of Lian, to talk about this matter.
Then he looked at Zheng Shixin, the main bookkeeper, Zheng Shixin was a little hesitant, this matter can involve the imperial court officials, and he instinctively wanted to retreat and protect himself.
But under the gaze of Gao Qifeng and Yang He, they had to agree to the joint name.
In the end, everyone looked at Liu Zunhe, the county leader.
Liu Zunhe was restless, and reluctantly agreed to sign the joint name, and the signing position ranked second according to the official rank.
Gao Qifeng talked about the wealth, and even Liu Xiancheng showed an excited expression.
This kind of fine stolen silver has always been a small treasury in the county, and there is money in the county, and no official is unhappy.
Gao Qifeng talked about the pursuit of the abducted child again, and Master Zheng immediately wanted to put on a name, as one of the offices, and even Liu Xiancheng was ready to move, looking eager.
He also wants this reputation, even if it is a name.
Yang He glanced at him, and as far as he knew, Liu Zunhe and Wei Kungang were ostensibly a faction, but in fact there was no collusion.
The main reason is that Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, is too good at taking power, and generally there are people in charge of the county, such as the main book in charge of the county's household registration, document handling and other things. As the assistant officer of the county, the county governor is in charge of warehouses, grain and horses, taxation and other matters in many places.
However, in Suining County, in addition to managing the warehouse, the rest of the affairs were arrested by Gao Qifeng, and Liu Zunhe became powerless and sat on the bench, which inevitably caused friction with Kochi County.
If the emperor has taken care of everything, what will the prime minister do?
has no power in his hands, and some small officials dare to show Liu Xiancheng's face, how can Liu Zunhe be willing?
It just so happened that Wei Kungang and Zhixian did not deal with each other, so Liu Zunhe naturally joined forces with him.
Anyway, this person is from a high background, and he has been working in various counties and chief bookkeepers for decades, and Yang He thinks that they can be united.
He proposed to let Liu Xiancheng also be one of the offices of the pursuit office, Liu Zunhe was shocked, and looked at Yang He with some gratitude.
Gao Qifeng was a little reluctant, but it was not easy to refute Yang He's face, so he asked Liu Zunhe to sit in the name.
Thinking about Deng Patrol and his friendship, Yang He also proposed that Deng Sheng, the inspector, be promoted to the nominal office, so that Suining County will pursue the general office, and the county Gao Qifeng will be the general office, Yang He will be the general office, and Zheng Shixin, Liu Zunhe, and Deng Sheng will be the nominal office.
In the end, there must be a practical assistant, and this matter will be handed over to the celebrities in the county, the Shebing General Society, and the Gongsheng Zhou Mingyuan.
Zhou Mingyuan stood up solemnly: "It is incumbent upon students to find the abducted children and reunite their families. ”
Gao Qifeng asked him to be responsible for Yang He, and Yang He reported to himself, and the matter was settled.
Yang He pondered, the abducted children were scattered in all directions, with the habits of officialdom at this time, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to pursue, and there is also a backstage for the deceitful beggars in various places as a black hand.
He was determined to open the Flying Cloud Dart Bureau as soon as possible, and use the Dart Game to cooperate with the pursuit team, and in some cases, he could use force to pursue the game.
……
7th, afternoon.
The black-pressed people gathered outside the west gate, all of them looked at the cheeky villains who were desperately crying and begging for mercy with great hatred.
Sure enough, retribution came, and someone finally cleaned them up.
In particular, the people also heard an exciting good news, that Master Wei, no, the Wei dog thief who was full of evil, had been killed on the spot by Lord Yang because the thief resisted arrest. Hearing this good news, the people of Suining City rushed to tell each other.
Everyone celebrated, and many people set off festive firecrackers.
At present, the skin-free villains in Suining City have been almost killed, and the rest have all been arrested, and the people only feel that the dark clouds on their heads have dispersed, and their mood is extremely relaxed.
Many people have also made up their minds that they will set up an immortal tablet for Lord Yang, who is eliminating harm for the people, at home, to bless his old man's life to be 100 years old.
Then in the afternoon, the people heard that the rest of the arrested scoundrels were going to be executed outside the West Gate, and they went to the execution ground to watch the execution, and they did not know how many people gathered.
At this time, on the other side, Yang He's troops stood solemnly, spears and firearms, neat as a forest, full of solemnity and majesty. In the middle, Yang He, Zhixian Gao Qifeng and others were standing, their expressions were very serious, and some gentry and celebrities were also standing and watching, and many of them turned pale.
The servants who escaped from the tiger's mouth also stood aside tremblingly, trembling in both hands, only enduring not to collapse to the ground.
The bitter lord's crying has ended, one after another, especially the experience of Sun Sijie and others, which aroused everyone's great sympathy and great resentment towards the scum.
Seeing the anger of the people, not to mention the desperate crying of the villains waiting for death, the officials in the field were shocked, realizing what "a little Zhu in the hall, a thousand points of blood among the people" means, and they should use the power in their hands carefully.
Then Yang He came out and announced: "...... These thieves, cripple the people and harm the people, and it is difficult to write! In particular, colluding with thieves is an unforgivable crime, and this official will never let the tragedy of Dongping happen in my Suining! Execute them all, and execute them immediately! ”
"Execution!"
Yang He's subordinates beheaded more than 200 villains on the spot, and then arrested more than 100 people, and they were executed in six shifts in 20 squads.
Yang He gave an order, and immediately twenty people were pulled out of the pile, regardless of the green skin or tolerance, all of them were forced to kneel, kneel straight and kneel in a row.
Then twenty firecrackers stepped forward, and a large row of firecrackers was put down, and the blackened firecrackers were only facing these dregs to be killed.
These people wept and pleaded, but to no avail.
"Put!"
The surging flames erupted, the smoke of the firebolts spread, and the twenty people in front of them were covered with blood mist, and they rolled to the ground one by one.
Some of them let out hoarse screams when they didn't die for a while, and they were so miserable that they made people tremble when they watched.
"Lift people!"
"Put!"
There was another deafening sound of firecrackers, the smoke of gunpowder and the smell of blood in the air, and twenty more people rolling, blood flowing like a stream.
"Put!"
The sound of the platoon rang out again and again, and everyone, regardless of the government and the people, looked pale, and this kind of execution scene was too shocking.
Some people originally came to see the beheading, and some people chanted "Eighteen years later, another hero", and maybe some people would sing a few lines of drama.
But this kind of scene ......
Many people only felt that their feet were trembling, and Gao Qifeng, the county magistrate, also felt that he was a little trembling, and the county master next to him was even more like he was infected with the wind and cold.
Finally, all the villains were killed, and the blood flowed in the field.
Some soldiers stepped forward to check, and if they were not dead, they used waist knives and spears to make up for them.
Looking at the trembling crowd, Yang He's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Thief and villain, it's not a pity to die, and the father and elder of Suining Township should also take it as a warning!" As I said earlier, in my Suining City, there are a lot of people who have been poisoned by villains, and even some children in the family have been deceived and abducted. In this regard, the county attaches great importance to it and deliberately sets up a general office to pursue those abducted children! Those who have been poisoned by villains will also receive compensation and compensation. ”
Gao Qifeng coughed, he walked out, and his smiling face was full of kindness and solemnity.
He said loudly: "As Lord Yang said just now, the county government has indeed set up a general office for the pursuit, with the official himself as the general office, and Lord Yang as the sitting office, as well as the chief county inspector in the yazhong, and Mr. Zhou of the head office as the assistant to pursue the abducted children...... Here, the official solemnly promises that no matter where these children are abducted, they will definitely be found! If these children are disabled, they will be sent to a nursing home where they can be recuperated! ”
For a while, the people knelt down like a tide, shouting Lord Qingtian.
In particular, Fourth Sister Sun and others were overjoyed, and they kowtowed hard, grateful.
The gentry are also amazed, the county's move can be described as benevolence and righteousness, and it can be recorded in the county chronicles and passed on as a beautiful talk.
In the end, Yang He came out again, saying that the righteous people would also be rewarded, such as bonuses, plaques, and tax reductions and exemptions for those who opened shops.
He also said that the righteous people are welcome to visit the Lian General Mansion often, and he is also willing to use this to observe the people's feelings.
In the envious eyes of the people, the righteous people were also able to meet with Mr. Lian, the county magistrate and other officials, and praised and rewarded.
Yang He stood with a smile, and when a slightly thin and good-looking young man came over, he said, "Your name is Liu Dayou?" Very good. ”
……
After the slaughter on the seventh day, everyone in Suining City was rumored that Lord Yang was indeed a heavenly killer star.
But he has the means of thunderbolt, and he also has the heart of a bodhisattva, thunderbolt, and solved the villains who have brutalized the people for many years in one go, and returned a bright and prosperous man in Suining County. But there are also bodhisattvas who have the heart to persuade the county to help the orphans and the disabled, and to care for the suffering.
Many people also inquired afterwards, this was Lord Yang's idea.
Thunder and rain dew, merciless to the thieves, but full of love for the people, for a time, regardless of the gentry and common people in the city, they all respected and feared him.
After this day, the market of Suining was clear, the flies and dogs were gone, and the people felt more relieved than ever, and they all worked together to resist the possible arrival of thieves.
On 9 March, the sentry cavalry hurriedly came to report that a brigade of thieves was coming to Suining.
They were numerous, numbering more than 10,000 people.
In particular, there are flags with the word "Li", the flag with the word "Yuan", and the word "Wang".
I'm afraid it's the drama thieves Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Wang Long, etc.
