Chapter Seventy-Five: Door-to-door Food
How to settle these military households has become a matter that must be solved, and the cabinet has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and Li Guopu also has an idea in his heart, so he said: "Your Majesty, the military households that have been deleted should be resettled by the imperial court, but this matter needs to be carefully considered. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhu Youzhen nodded, he knew that this kind of thing must be cautious, if the compensation and resettlement given to these military households made these military households dissatisfied, it would also be a matter, but if it was given too much, it would invisibly form a burden on the imperial court.
"At the invitation of Li Guopu, two days later, the cabinet assistants, Yuan Chonghuan and others discussed with me in the Qianqing Palace the great policy of resettlement and deletion of military households."
"Yes." Huang Liji and the others spoke.
Zhu Youzhen talked to Guo Yunhou about some matters of the Quartermaster Department, and asked everyone to retreat.
It was late at night, the gate of Kaifeng Mansion had been closed, and a soldier from the Beijing Division galloped on a fast horse and stopped at the foot of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Open the gates." The soldier shouted at the wall.
A young general guarding the city on the city wall looked at the soldiers under the city wall and shouted: "Now the city gate is closed, you can't open the city gate without orders, you can enter the city tomorrow." "It's true that the atmosphere of Kaifeng Mansion has not been right for the past two days, and on weekdays, if you say something good, you can also open the city gate, but the prefect's order has just been issued, and the soldiers guarding the city do not dare to open the city gate without authorization.
"Be bold, I am carrying the grain purchase documents of the Quartermaster Department, and I will hand them over to Wu Xin, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, as soon as possible." As he spoke, the soldier took out a token of the Five Cities Terracotta Division from his bosom and held it up.
Hearing that it was a person from the Beijing Division, or a guest from the Quartermaster Division, the young general guarding the city did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, so happily opened the city gate, of course, there was also Wu Xinxin's order, if it weren't for this, the soldier from the Beijing division was so arrogant, he would have to embarrass him for anything.
When the soldiers entered the city gate, they did not dismount, but took the reins of their horses and said to the soldiers guarding the city, "Which of you can take me to the prefect Wu Xin." ”
At this time, the young general who had just spoken went down the city wall and said to the soldier, "I'll take you there." After speaking, he said to the soldier behind him, "You sign a horse for me." When the soldier had received the order, he went down to lead his horse.
After waiting for a while, the soldier led the horse over, and the young general turned over his horse and said to the soldier from the Beijing Division, "You come with me." ”
The two men and two horses traveled in Kaifeng City for most of the hour, and then arrived at Wu Xin's mansion.
However, it was late at night, and the gate of Wu Xin's mansion was closed, the two turned over and dismounted, and the young general who guarded the city stepped forward and patted the gate.
After waiting for a while, a servant opened the door, looked at the two people outside the door, and said, "The prefect has already slept peacefully, if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow." ”
The young general defending the city said: "You go and inform the prefect, the Quartermaster of the Beijing Division will come, and he will summon him." ”
When the servant heard that it was someone from Jingshi, his face changed, and he said, "The two of you will be here for a while, and the villain will go to report." "Wu Xin has already explained that he must be the first to inform him of the matter of the Quartermaster Department.
The servant didn't lie, Wu Xinxin was indeed asleep, but the servant woke him up and told Wu Xinxin that the Jingshi was coming, Wu Xinxin immediately asked the servant to invite someone to wait in the front hall, and immediately got up, and didn't care about his wife's complaints, and after getting dressed, he walked to the front hall.
When he arrived at the front hall, the soldiers from the Beijing division were waiting in the front hall, Wu Xin got the Quartermaster Department's document on the purchase of grain from the soldiers from the Beijing division, and couldn't wait to open it to watch, this grain purchase document is a book, which not only has the amount of grain purchased by Kaifeng Prefecture, but also the share of grain purchase from all the grain purchase places on the roster is on it, which is also ordered by Zhu Youzhen himself, not only to let the officials know how much grain to buy in their own jurisdiction, but also to make them clear about the share of grain purchase in other places.
Wu Xin asked the soldiers from Jingshi to go down to rest.
Wu Xinxin, who was sitting in the front hall, took the paperwork and looked carefully page by page, he found Luoyang, and compared with the amount of grain purchased by Kaifeng Mansion, it was much less than them, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Look at other places, and find that compared to the south, the two places in Henan have become a joke, the two rivers want a total of 120,000 stone of rice, in exchange for the modern measurement method, it is 45 million catties of grain, Luoyang, Henan wants 30,000 stones, Kaifeng Mansion only needs 15,000 stones, which makes Wu Xin very uncomfortable, although it is not as rich as the two rivers and other places, but compared to Luoyang, it is more than that, at this time the imperial court quota of 15,000 stone to load grain, which makes Wu Xin very uncomfortable, he decided to increase, He wants to set a grain quota of 30,000 stones, even more than Luoyang.
However, Wu Xin didn't know that the amount drawn up by the Quartermaster Department was determined according to the grain production in various places, even if there were some flaws, the gap between the top and bottom was not big, but Wu Xin thought in his heart that even if he completed the quota, the emperor would not have much impression of himself.
Wu Xinxin, who had made a definition in his heart, went to the prefect's yamen early the next morning, urgently summoned the chief book of the prefect's yamen, and took the distribution of the fields to settle the accounts, Wu Xinxin did not leave an inch, and did not even eat lunch, and in the afternoon, the chief bookkeepers distributed all the 30,000 stone grain drawn up by Wu Xinxin to the 113 landlords and squires who signed the grain purchase documents a few days ago.
The most one was showdown with 576 stones, and the least was not less than 100 stones, and after drawing up the regulations, Wu Xin ordered the soldiers to come to the door to urge food.
At the urging of the prefect's yamen, the soldiers took the grain purchase documents they had signed and went to the door to urge food.
Some squires, when they saw the soldiers coming to urge food, closed the gate tightly and ignored the soldiers' shouts.
There were also some timid squires who opened the door and greeted the soldiers, and after seeing the amount, although the flesh hurt, they still said that they would send the grain within ten days, and as for whether they could get the silver taels for the purchase of grain, they did not want to ask more, just thinking that they could get out of this matter, and never deal with the government again.
By evening, all the soldiers had returned, and some reported that the squire was willing to obey the paperwork and make up for the food within a few days, while others reported that they had not seen anyone at all.
Wu Xinxin asked people to count the forty-seven squires who were willing to deliver grain, and they delivered a total of 13,000 stone grain, almost full of the grain purchase quota set by the imperial court, at this time Wu Xinxin was faced with these two choices, one was to honestly collect 2,000 stones, full of the imperial court's quota, and it was better to pass the imperial court, and the other was not satisfied with the status quo, so that the rest of the squires also handed over the grain, so that it was more than 40,000 stone of grain, but this kind of also had to take risks, and risk that things would make a big fuss. The imperial history of the imperial court was transferred from Luoyang to Kaifeng after three days, only in these three days, all the turmoil was wiped out, otherwise it was not good for Wu Xinxin's official reputation, and then Wu Xinxin slapped his thigh, and decided to forcibly levy it to be levied down, and ordered a total of 3,000 people to be recruited and soldiers, one by one, knock the door open without opening the door, and do not mention anything to buy grain, and directly arrest the person who signed.
