Chapter 48 Deliberations of the Government and the Government

Cao Dezhang is right, Li Shuo is in a hurry to start, so he needs a group of people to wave the flag and shout for him, otherwise he can't do anything by himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The next day, Li Shuo's mansion was really full of people, officials at all levels came to visit, local wealthy businessmen also sent generous gifts, and all asked to see the newly appointed Lord Futai, but all failed, the old housekeeper accepted the worship post and said to these people who gave gifts to visit: "Lord Futai has gone to the governor's yamen, he is not at home, I don't dare to accept the gifts, only accept your prayers, wait for the Futai Lord to come back, and then summon them one by one." ā€

Of course, what the old housekeeper said was the truth, as soon as the morning dawned, Li Shuo took ten Jinyi guards to the governor's yamen to watch the distribution of taxes and military salaries over the years.

When Li Shuo entered the governor's yamen, the official told him that Cao Dezhang, the political envoy, had been waiting inside for a long time.

Li Shuo felt strange in his heart, and he didn't go into the mansion quickly.

Seeing Cao Dezhang above the lobby, he arched his hand and said, "Why did Lord Cao come to the mansion so early?" ā€

"Lord Futai has just taken office, so he can be so conscientious, and of course the lower officials dare not slack off."

Li Shuo smiled and said, "Lord Cao is really a virtuous minister of the country. ā€

"After the award, Xia Guan thought that Lord Futai had just come to Shaanxi, and he didn't know much about the situation here, and Xia Guan had stayed here for a few years, thinking that Lord Futai would definitely ask Xia Guan about some things, but he didn't dare to let Lord Futai wait for a long time, so he came here early and waited for Lord Futai." With Luo Yangxing, Cao Dezhang put his posture very low, but unlike Luo Yangxing, Luo Yangxing is blindly pursuing power, and the alliance with Li Shuo is just to consolidate his power, but Cao Dezhang not only came to save his life, he also had some worries about the situation in Shaanxi, Shaanxi is already full of disasters and difficulties, if the gentry can't go to the difficulties together, then Shaanxi does not specify what will become, but Cao Dezhang is wrong on the most critical issue.

Li Shuo came to Shaanxi in order to respond to the chaos with great changes, and the official gentry was the biggest stone in front of Li Shuo, and in order to succeed, he could only destroy all obstacles.

"This official just came to Shaanxi, as Lord Cao said, I don't know much about Shaanxi, and I need Lord Cao to introduce it in detail." Li Shuo said and walked forward.

And Cao Dezhang also followed Li Shuo's pace and said, "What does Lord Futai want to ask?" The lower officials will definitely know everything. ā€

"Can the border army of Yansui Town, a major town on the nine sides, have combat power?" Li Shuo asked the military as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't hide it from Lord Futai, this nine-sided town is directly under the jurisdiction of the military department, although it is in my Shaanxi, but the guard post cannot interfere when commanding, as for the border army can have combat power, the lower officials are not clear."

Li Shuo nodded and said: "Yansui Town is an important town in the nine borders, and its importance is no different from Liaodong Town, if what this official thinks is good, next year at the latest, the documents of the Ministry of War will come to us, and then there will be officials who will come down to rectify the border town, and when the time comes, we must be prepared and not delay the major events of the Ministry of War." ā€

Cao Dezhang nodded and said: "Now Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is indeed a person who is not satisfied with the status quo, and the emperor asked him to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but I am afraid that he also has this intention." However, I only need to obey the orders of the lower officials, and the affairs in the court still need to be resolved in the court. "If these words said by Cao Dezhang are unreasonable on the surface, Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the military department, but he is a Shangguan, Cao Dezhang should be honored as a Shangshu, but this indiscriminate sentence reveals Cao Dezhang's wit, what he said is so casual and unreasonable, but he does not put himself on the same position as Li Shuo.

Of course, Li Shuo understood Cao Dezhang's Xiao Jiujiu, and he didn't break it, and said along the way: "The emperor has worked hard to make the country prosperous, and he has just taken the throne to rectify the three major battalions and killed so many deputy generals and generals, which shows his determination, and we in Shaanxi cannot delay the military reform, and many shortcomings of the Wei system must be solved one by one." ā€

Cao Dezhang is a eunuch, and the people who want his life the most are those rich businessmen and big landlords, since it is mentioned that the system of the guard, Cao Dezhang is of course willing to sell them.

"There are indeed some drawbacks in the Wei system, take that field as an example, the existing field of the Wei system is less than seven or eight out of ten compared with the field on the book, these fields are occupied by those rich businessmen who are not benevolent, but there are people in the government who have fornication with them and conspire for personal gain, although the lower officials want to ask, but they are helpless and weak, but at this time, Lord Futai came with the expectations of the emperor, and he will be able to clean up." Cao Dezhang said very seriously.

Li Shuo smiled and said, "But this official heard that those fields were sold by military households, what is the reason for rectifying them?" ā€

Seeing that Cao Dezhang was so active, Li Shuo decided to retreat as an advance, to see if Cao Dezhang really wanted to rectify the guard, or just blindly catering to himself, he was too much in the Beijing Division, presumably the Shaanxi officialdom and wealthy businessmen also knew their attitude towards the health guard and the rich businessmen.

"Although it was sold by those military households, but the rich merchants dared to buy it, they violated the law of my Ming Dynasty, if they did not return it, they acted according to the law." Cao Dezhang said solemnly.

After Li Shuo walked into the lobby of the mansion, he sat on the upper seat, looked at Cao Dezhang who was standing at the bottom and said softly: "This official not only wants them to return the fields, but also let them spit out all the grain they have obtained over the years. ā€

After listening to Li Shuo's words, Cao Dezhang's expression lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "It's an honor for the lower officials." ā€

Li Shuo hurriedly spoke: "Master Cao, take a seat quickly, you and I will talk in detail." ā€

Cao Dezhang did not refuse, and after sitting down, he said: "The minister and the commander of the guard have a very good personal relationship with Dai Shihui, so it is better to find him to come and discuss together." ā€

"The commander of the guard station knows Dai Shihui, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Li Shuo waved his hand and refused.

"What's wrong with Lord Futai?" Cao Dezhang was a little anxious.

"This official can't cross the guard post to command Xu Mengchao, this is unreasonable, I think I let Xu Mengchao and Dai Shihui come to discuss together."

Cao Dezhang was a little hesitant, and his face kept changing.

Li Shuo opened his mouth and asked, "Why not?" ā€

Cao Dezhang stood up again, arched his hand and said: "There is a sentence that the lower official does not know whether to say or not. ā€

"I hate to see Lord Cao late, but Lord Cao says it's okay."

"Xu Mengchao, the commander of this guard, has a very good relationship with Song Mingyi, the political envoy of Zuobu, and the two are still sons and daughters."

"The two of them are sons and daughters, and they have a very good relationship, what does it affect for me to summon him to discuss matters?" Of course, Li Shuo knew that Cao Dezhang had something to say, but he didn't want to break it.

"But this Lord Song has a very good relationship with those rich businessmen."

"Seriously." Li Shuo said intently.

"Lord Song has been in Shaanxi for ten years, a daughter married Jiang Huan, the largest landlord in Chang'an Mansion, this Jiang Huan has fields all over Shaanxi, in the ten years that Lord Song has been in power, the fields have tripled, and there are at least 200,000 hectares of fertile land, you said that you let Jiang Huan make up for the grain that encroached on the land, this is to take his Jiang Huan's old life, how can Lord Song agree, let's discuss the matter on the front foot, and the news on the back foot will change to Lord Song, which will not be beneficial to our plan."

"Lord Song will know about this sooner or later, but he can't stop it, he can't hide it, Lord Cao, I will tell you one thing, but I can only get into your ears, not let a third person know." Li Shuo said with a serious expression.

Cao Dezhang saw Li Shuo's serious expression and didn't dare to be careless, he looked inside and outside the lobby, there was no one, and he stepped forward sideways.

"It is the emperor's will to urge food, you and I are acting according to orders, if Lord Song does not know right and wrong, the official will impeach him, let the imperial court and the imperial history supervise, if there is really no fault, find a reason, and transfer away, so Lord Cao does not have to be so afraid of Lord Song." Li Shuo said confidently.

Saying such arrogant words, it seems that he doesn't take Song Mingyi in his eyes at all, of course, the real Li Shuo is not such a person, in fact, he is acting, and he is widening Cao Dezhang's heart, making him more resolute, fearless, and daring to move forward.
