Chapter 92: Putting Down the Chaos Is Important
"Quelling the chaos?" Zhang Rang was still pretending to be stupid, because he didn't report the news of the Jizhou Black Mountain Army to Emperor Ling, and he didn't expect Emperor Ling to know, so he pretended not to know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, the Black Mountain Thieves are moving again. Well, what do you have in your hand? Emperor Ling saw what Zhang Rang had in his hand, which was evidence to prove that Jiang Sheng was engaged in illegal salt.
"Your Majesty, the old slave found out about Jiang Sheng's dealings with the smuggler and was about to report to the emperor."
"Jiang Sheng? Oh, why did I forget him? Taiwei, let Jiang Sheng be responsible for the pacification of the chaos in Jizhou. I worshipped him as a general to fight for Kou, and went to Jizhou to quell the rebellion. β
"Weichen Command!" Tai Lieutenant Zhang Yan received the order.
"Your Majesty, this, this Jiang Sheng is engaged in private salt-" Zhang Rang said urgently.
"It's not a big deal, just reprimand, it's important to calm the chaos." Emperor Ling simply didn't listen to Zhang Rangfen, the important thing in front of him was to calm the chaos, not this kind of deceit.
After more than two months of rectification, the matter of buying back the salt farms came to an end, and several large salt farms that were forcibly recovered were registered and reported to the Shaofu by Jiang Sheng, and the rest of the salt farms jointly operated by the government and businessmen were still in a state of smuggling.
Le Anguo has not had a report on the operation of the big salt farms for many years, and this Jiang Sheng reported the operation of the seven big salt farms at one time, and the income of these big salt farms is very objective, and the young secretary of the palace will report this to Emperor Ling.
Emperor Ling looked at it and said with great joy: "Zhang Aiqing's report is wrong, this Jiang Sheng not only did not engage in private salt, but also recovered the loss for the imperial court, this matter is a merit, it seems that this Jiang Sheng is still reliable." β
Shao Fuqing said: "Your Majesty, if this Jiang Sheng governs Le'an, the revenue from this salt tax will be stable in the future." β
Emperor Ling thought for a moment, "Alas, why don't I know? It's just that this chaos in Jizhou needs to be solved as soon as possible, Jiang Sheng is the best candidate, but Le'an can't care about it. β
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" Shao Fuqing played.
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
"Jiang Sheng, as a taishou, has a good governance, and his county commander and county lieutenant must be involved, if his subordinate officials succeed him as the county guard of Le'an, the decree will continue."
"Well, what Aiqing said is very true, but I don't know who Le'an Juncheng is?"
"Back to the emperor, the minister heard that this person is Jiang Sheng's brother-in-law, and he is extremely proficient in Legalist doctrine. However, this man was not from a noble family, and he was only fifteen years old. β
"Fifteen?" Emperor Ling said, "I'm a little younger. However, since he is Jiang Sheng's brother-in-law, his skills will not be too bad, so let him temporarily act as the county guard of Le'an, and you will send a suitable person to serve as the county commander to assist him in continuing Jiang Sheng's political strategy. β
"Obey the order!" Shaofuqing already had this plan, and this time he got his wish.
At the same time that Zhang Yan sent people to Le'an to announce the edict of Emperor Ling, the LA County Cheng and Yan officials sent by Shaofuqing also went to Le'an with the messenger.
Le'an produces salt, and if there is no salt official, the salt tax revenue will fall into the hands of the local official, so the salt official must be sent to control the salt business.
Jiang Sheng's empty gloves and white wolf, at least he has done a lot of things, but this Shaofuqing's abacus is better, let Jiang Sheng's people do the things of the salt farm, and the things that run the salt farm can go to the salt officials. This is to let Jiang Sheng's people do everything well, and the salt official will sit back and enjoy the results. How could Jiang Sheng agree?
Le'an County Shoufu, Jiang Sheng is studying the future development of Le'an with Yang Feng and Xia Houlan. Although Xia Houlan is quite disciplined in dealing with some government affairs issues, he is not good at civil affairs in many aspects, and the officials in various counties are also deceived and concealed, and they are in violation of the law; Although Yang Feng is relatively proficient in military logistics, his level of command and operation is average. Weighing and weighing, Jiang Sheng realized a problem: talent.
Jiang Sheng came to Le'an County to control the situation, all relying on the terrifying combat power of the pro-soldier guards and the swiftness of the means, so that these discordant voices disappeared in a short time, and when it comes to real governance, Jiang Sheng's heat is still far away, and the advanced governance methods of later generations are not fully applicable to the present. The big and small affairs of Le'an County had to be arranged by Jiang Sheng, and Xia Houlan and Yang Feng couldn't stand up.
The final conclusion of the study is that Jiang Sheng's subordinates are all martial artists, and none of them are literati.
Zhang He, Yu Ban, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Deng Mao, Xiahoulan, and Yang Feng were all born in martial arts, marching and fighting, and they couldn't engage in politics.
Jiang Sheng was also distressed, and suddenly thought of someone, Zhen Yan! Zhen Yan has been in charge of the Zhen family's business for many years, and he has a lot of experience, if he is in charge of the commercial trade of Le'an County, the effect will definitely be good.
"Zhen Yan? The subordinates don't know about this person, so it's inconvenient to comment. Xiahou Landao.
"Lord, when you were in Changshan in the first month, you said to keep your distance from them, if Zhen Yan is in charge of the business of Le'an County, how should you deal with the relationship in the future?"
"Well, that's right, it's okay to let him transfer and sell salt, but it's really hard to trust anything else."
Jiang Sheng and the others were thinking about a good plan when the guards came to report that someone from the imperial court had come. Jiang Sheng thought it was someone from the Tingwei Mansion, and he was thinking about how to deal with it. The death of the county magistrate of Lixian County must have been done by the people of the Tingwei Mansion, it seems that the person who came was not good!
"Le'an County Shou Jiang Sheng, County Cheng Xia Hou Lan welcomes the edict!" The sergeant said loudly.
"Minister Jiang Sheng and Xiahou Lan greet the envoy!" Jiang Sheng and Xiahou Lan bowed to the ground.
"The edict said: Worship Jiang Sheng as the general of the Kou, and go to Jizhou to fight the Black Mountain thieves, there must be no mistake; Xiahoulan acted as the county guard of Le'an, Wang Jin was the commander of Le'an County, and Duan Zhi was the salt official of Le'an. Chin thisβ"
Jiang Sheng heard this edict and thought secretly: You are using my people as guns, the salt farm is controlled by you, what else is Le'an County playing? It's clear that it's the person who promoted me, but in fact, it's the person who is just setting me up. But come to think of it, this edict still has to be accepted.
"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Jiang Sheng raised his hands above his head and took the edict.
The envoy ordered his entourage to take the seal ribbon and give it to Jiang Sheng, and then supervised Jiang Sheng to hand over the token seal of the Le'an County Guard to Xiahou Lan.
"The last general meets with General Kou!" The envoy was sent by the Taiwei Mansion, so he was a military officer, and he met Jiang Sheng in the army.
On the side of Le'an County, Wang Jin and Duan Zhi met with the new Taishou Xiahou Lan. From their eyes, it can be seen that they can't afford Xia Houlan at all, and they say in their hearts What is the use of this doll being too guarded, and it will not be the people of their Shaofu who have the final say? But they forgot one thing, the county lieutenant is Yang Feng, Yang Feng and Xiahou Lan are Jiang Sheng's people, and they have a very strong relationship with each other.
After the handover, Xiahoulan arranged for the envoy to rest in the Taishou Mansion.
That night, Jiang Sheng took Xiahoulan and Yang Feng to the camp of Zhang Hebu on the mountain, Jiang Sheng was about to go to Jizhou to suppress thieves, and some things needed to be properly settled.
"Lord, Wang Jin and Duan Zhi are both from Shaofu, and this time they want to control Le'an's salt affairs and seek benefits." Xia Houlan learned the identities of these two people.
"Well, Shaofu is a yamen in charge of internal affairs and finances for the emperor, and I think this move may be the emperor's intention." Jiang Sheng analyzed.
"Could it be that the emperor doesn't trust the lord?" Yang Fengdao.
