In fact, when Cao Dezhang sent someone to the door with the account book to urge for food, Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang knew that this must be useless work, but this must be done. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Dezhang saw that after the people he sent over to express the meaning of the government, no one paid attention to it, and he was very angry, so he couldn't wait to use force.

And the treatment of the squire and rich can no longer be tolerated, this is Li Shuo's view, even if there is a big obstacle, the grain and silver that the military field privately occupies must enter the Shaanxi official treasury before the year, of course, this is also Li Shuo's consideration for Zhu Youzhen, the imperial court wants to purge the new army, money and food are tight, then the local government must produce some silver taels, and the food and silver taels urged can be played by the imperial court to give the northwest battalion military use, and the silver allocated by the imperial court can be reduced at that time.

Li Shuo invited Cao Dezhang, Fu Wei, Lu Xiangsheng, Dai Shihui, and Wang Ke to discuss the matter at the governor's yamen.

The six of them were all seated according to their official positions, because Fu Wei was a squire of the military department and the commander of the northwest battalion appointed by the emperor, so he sat on Li Shuo's left hand.

Li Shuo cleared his throat and said: "Colleagues, all of us are deeply favored by the emperor, come to Shaanxi to run errands for the emperor, Lord Fu admits the northwest camp, and Lord Lu cleans up the guards, we must work together to do a good job for the emperor and contribute to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"When this official came to Shaanxi, he made up his mind to turn the northwest battalion into a strong army to defend the northwest of our Ming Dynasty. Fu Wei hugged his fist at Li Shuo and said very sincerely.

In fact, when Fu Wei first came to Shaanxi, the imperial court military department counted the cost of adding the northwest battalion, and concluded that it would cost 570,000 taels of silver, and the household department, the inner treasury and the Shaanxi government jointly paid this salary, Zhu Youzhen and Guo Yunhou discussed it many times, and came up with a distribution plan, that is, the household department issued 270,000 taels of silver, the inner treasury issued 200,000 taels of silver, and the Shaanxi government issued 100,000 taels of silver, but everyone knew that this was the first payment, and the banner of the northwest battalion was pulled up in the future. The imperial court and the Shaanxi government will have to pay at least 400,000 taels of silver every year for this, and the other plan is to be the same as Fu Wei's proposal, the reduced military land will be nationalized, and the cut military households will be distributed to cultivate, and the grain tax will be paid every year for the northwest military, but even so, the imperial court will also issue military silver, military silver, which is not a small output, but as long as Dai Shihui does a good job in reducing military households a year ago, the imperial court can add this salary to the northwest battalion, which will also make the imperial court less pressure.

At this time, the location of the camp in the northwest camp, the renovation of the training ground, and the purchase of horses were all borne by Shaanxi, which also made Li Shuo feel some pressure, because the Shaanxi official treasury was poor and white, and when he first came to Shaanxi, the grain of the Shaanxi official treasury was only 11,000 stones, and the inventory of silver was only 70,000 taels.

Hearing Fu Wei being so polite, Li Shuo waved his hand and said, "Master Fu is polite, they are all working for the emperor, and they don't dare to be greedy." ”

Fu Wei smiled and said: "Everyone in the court knows that the emperor favors Governor Li, at this time, it seems that Governor Li is sensible and capable, how can the emperor not like it?" ”

Li Shuo smiled, turned his gaze to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lord Lu came to this land of Shaanxi, is there anything you are not used to?" ”

"Lord Huifutai, there is nothing unaccustomed to the lower officials, but they have never managed military affairs, and they don't know much about the Shaanxi Health Center, so the matter of cutting military households has been handled by Dai Tongzhi for the past few days, and I feel a little unbearable." Lu Xiangsheng said politely.

"They are all serving the country, and Commander Lu is talking like this, isn't it a torture for the lower officials." Dai Shihui hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, we are all serving the emperor, and if you are like this in the future, Lord Lu must not say it again." Cao Dezhang also spoke.

Li Shuo said with a smile: "Letting a few adults come to the governor's yamen today is to discuss important matters, related to the private occupation of military land. ”

After Li Shuo finished saying this, his face turned straight, and he said to Cao Dezhang again: "Lord Cao, since you are the investigation department of the emperor's private occupation of the army, you can tell you about this matter." ”

After listening to Li Shuo's words, Cao Dezhang also put away the smile on his face, stood up and said solemnly: "Don't hide it from everyone, the investigation of the private occupation of the military land has been completed, and now all that remains is to urge the rich squires to return the military land, and in accordance with the rules formulated by the Investigation Department of the private occupation of the military land, the grain and silver obtained will be expropriated, and after the people sent over to explain the meaning of the government, these rich squires ignored it and abandoned the prestige of the imperial court and the prestige of the government. We must also collect the grain back, otherwise where is the majesty of the imperial court, the face of my Shaanxi government will also be gone, if at that time, the imperial court decree is not passed, it is all our sin, my Shaanxi has been occupied more than 800,000 mu of military land, of which there are 16 households that have encroached on more than 10,000 mu, 32 households that have more than 5,000 mu, 148 households that have more than 1,000 mu, and there are countless more than 1,000 mu. ”

Cao Dezhang said that the less than 1,000 acres of military land are ordinary people, although it is a little unkind to let them return the fields bought with real money, but the national law is greater than everything, and they can only find a fate in the future to share some fields with these ordinary people, but at this critical juncture, they still have to return the occupied military land, if not, the Shaanxi government will have no authority at all.

Wang Ke, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what the help that Cao Bu's envoy said? Isn't it possible for us to lead the soldiers to the door to urge? ”

Wang Ke is over half a hundred years old, sideburns have gray hair, although he has been in the army for decades, some courage, but he has been in the army, has never been involved in local politics, he knows a truth, the most dangerous place is not to charge on the battlefield, but between the officials of various factions to produce this kind of war without gunpowder, although Li Shuo is very concerned about the northwest camp, and does not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to prepare the camp tents, drill grounds, and horses of the northwest camp in a hurry, but this can not win over Wang Ke.

Cao Dezhang's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this Wang Ke to speak like this.

Li Shuo stood stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "General Wang, what you are worried about, this official knows it, but extraordinary means must be used at an extraordinary time, if the grain is not recovered, I Shaanxi will not be able to take out the 100,000 taels of silver to fund the northwest camp." ”

"I am a martial artist, my northwest battalion now has only 5,000 soldiers, and I still have to practice, the document of the military department clearly says that my northwest battalion is under the jurisdiction of the military department, and it is not under the control of the governor's yamen, so there is no need to take time out to help Lord Futai."

Cao Dezhang was not light, and no matter what the occasion was, he said loudly: "Wang Ke, do you know how much the emperor attaches importance to the investigation of the private occupation of military land?" ”

Wang Ke also stood up and said without giving in: "Don't you know that my northwest camp was initially set up, and it was too late to practice, how could I have time to get involved in your affairs, and I want my northwest camp to send troops, okay, take out the emperor's holy decree, or the document signed by Yuan Shangshu of the Ministry of War, when the time comes, I will never say anything, and I will definitely lead my sons and daughters of the northwest camp to do things for you."
