Section 254 Fruits

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch guarding the town of Xuanfu, was personally arrested by the commander of Jinyi Wei Luo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Xuanfu Yamen posted a notice that the military and civilians of the Xuanfu were welcome to report the illegal things of Gao Qiqian, but if there were grievances, they would be dealt with impartially.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, not to mention that Gao Qiqian had indeed committed many crimes over the years.

All of a sudden, the people in Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi and other places were surging. Military households and border residents rushed to report so that they could receive the reward of five buckets of rice from the governor's yamen.

Qin Haoming's actions don't seem to be compatible with a humble gentleman, and he even uses the way of luring him to take advantage.

On the tenth day of the first month, Gao Qiqian was tortured, and he confessed 3.3 million taels of dirty silver and five real estates, which surprised everyone.

On the 12th, the Xuanfu Yamen handled a total of 320 civil lawsuits, and there were 150 cases with solid evidence. The Governor's Yamen accepted 130 military cases and confirmed 87 grievances.

On the 13th, Datong, Jiexiu, and Taiyuan successively came to Jin merchants to confess, and Gao Qiqian interfered in the operation of the mine.

When the evidence was sent to the Governor's Palace, Qin Haoming was ecstatic, this is a taboo, and it can be described as ironclad evidence.

The lieutenant of the town guard has the right to procure local tributes for the royal family in the jurisdiction, and at the same time take the opportunity to search and extort them, but they are not allowed to participate in the collection of local taxes and grain and the management of mines unless they are specially ordered.

So far, the preliminary evidence of Gao Qiqian's corruption and perversion of the law and his acting in a domineering manner is conclusive, and the people are extremely angry.

In particular, there were also rumors of local town guards and eunuchs interfering in civil affairs in important border towns, which caused an uproar in public opinion and heated discussions.

The Ming Decree stipulates that the lieutenant magistrate has the right to intervene in local judicial affairs, and to record prisoners regularly with the Fu Jie, but is not allowed to accept lawsuits on his own.

The Ming Dynasty lawsuit is accepted by the local elders, county governments, divisions, and patrols according to the imperial history, and the lawsuit shall not be exceeded according to the law.

However, due to the fact that the officials in the town guard have the responsibility of reassuring the people and defending the country, and the bullying and extinguishing of lawsuits between the officials, the people, and the military craftsmen are all foreheard, so there are many people who directly accept the lawsuits and deal with them directly.

On the same day, Qin Hao, the governor of the five provinces, quickly dismissed Emperor Chongzhen: "The lawsuit starts from injustice, and each has its own division."

Now the eunuchs are guarded everywhere, and they do not stick to the city, but appease the army and the people, so as to fulfill their duties.

For example, if they are high and submerged, they often accept civil lawsuits indiscriminately, or give orders to make arbitrary decisions, or send people to extract and harass the officials and the people.

Even depending on the amount of bribes, the lawsuit is judged to be right, resulting in unfair punishment and kindness.

Xuandafei, Nanzhili, Gyeonggi and other prosperous places, the people are poor and poor, and life is not easy.

However, he was a eunuch with no children and no daughters, and in the post of Xuanda, he got 3.3 million taels of silver and five real estates, all of which were mansions and compounds, which made the ministers panic and embarrassed.

Behind the figures, how many people's homes were destroyed and their wives were separated, and the ministers did not dare to think about it.

Therefore, I would like to ask the eunuchs and other officials in the towns to move up to the text, and they are not allowed to interfere in the lawsuit from now on, and they are still forbidden to the military and civilians.

If there is a grievance, it is reasonable to go to the lawsuit under the jurisdiction of the court in an orderly manner, and must not sue the town guard office, and the offender will be punished.

The minister Qin Haoming kowtowed and bowed to the present. ”

At the same time, attach the silver ticket and the title deed of the property, as well as all the witness statements.

But only he didn't consult Gao Qiqian and the other town guards, and he was really in the jade pot, and his heart was open and selfless.

At the same time, with the fall of Gao Qiqian and the affairs of the Jin merchants, the officers and wealthy gentry below ran around to find out the next development.

However, Qin Haoming and Song Xian, the two highest military and political officials of Xuanda, have a very tacit understanding that they will not see anyone.

Only then did everyone realize that things were a little troublesome, and without the clear words of the two bigwigs of Xuanda, they really didn't know how to deal with themselves for a while?

Although they have a huge network of connections in the imperial court, these networks that they are proud of are like the membranes of the Qing people in front of the steel knives and spears that shine with cold light, and they are so fragile that they can be broken with a single stab.

The sun was blazing, and on both sides of the road, the nearly ripe grains were so hot that they bent down and lowered their heads.

Grasshoppers are as numerous as blades of grass, and in the wheat and rye fields, in the reeds on the shore, they make a faint and noisy chirping.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and although there are Lanzhou waterwheels pumping water day and night, it is still not as good as the rain of nature.

Crops in fields near water sources are growing well, while those far away are empty, and the harvest will inevitably be affected.

Great droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues, and there is a saying that locusts must be found in the so-called extreme drought and long-term drought.

According to the current scenario of Xuanda, the commission has no choice but to guard against it.

Governor Song Xian avoided officialdom struggles, but for the civil aspect, it should be said that he was still relatively competent.

"Governor Qin, this year's locust plague is predictable, I wonder what you can do?"

The window is bright and clean in the governor's hall, Governor Song asked.

For this governor, who is much younger than him, he can be said to admire him so much now, he sighs to himself!

Looking at what he did, he fought bravely, knocked down the high and submerged, and rectified the Xuanda officials, his methods were ruthless, his actions were steady, and his style was strict, where did he look like a hairy boy who had just entered the officialdom?

With the idea that the capable can do anything, now he is even asked how to prevent locusts.

Qin Haoming smiled bitterly, how did he know how to prevent it? In later generations, there were pesticides and airplanes spraying to solve the problem, and now ......

However, this is within the scope of its own work, and from an environmental point of view, locust plagues are mainly caused by drought.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the arid environment has many benefits for locust reproduction, growth and survival.

On the one hand, in dry years, the number of eggs laid by locusts increases dramatically as water levels drop, soils become firmer, water content decreases, and ground vegetation is sparse.

On the other hand, plants grown in arid environments have a lower water content, and locusts feed on them, growing faster and having higher fertility.

"Lord Song, organize the common people and wealthy households to feed a large number of chickens and ducks, raising 5,000 per 10,000 acres of fields, and when they grow up, the Xuanda Governor's Mansion is responsible for the purchase.

Even, for the people in difficulty, the government can provide silver taels, and then settle the settlement afterwards.

As for other ideas, the Governor does not have them for the time being. ”

Qin Haoming thought for a long time before he said slowly.

Later, he seems to have read a report that the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Entomology had done an experiment in the Pearl River Delta region.

A large number of ducks were introduced into the farmland to hunt rice locusts, and as a result, only 2,000 ducks were needed to eat the locusts in 4,000 acres of land.

He didn't know if it was useful, he could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

However, the chickens and ducks raised by farmers can be used as the daily food of soldiers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Now he can be said to be wealthy, although the property of the Jin merchants has not yet been pocketed, but with the data reported, the grain alone, the five families have nearly 50 million catties.

As for the current silver, the current figure is 12 million, and the rest of the gold and silver are not yet fully counted.

But these silver taels basically have nothing to do with him, and he is ready to hand them over to Chongzhen, exempt him from the training salary in the area under his jurisdiction, and it can be regarded as benefiting the people of the five provinces.

Of course, he had some ideas about other strategic materials of Jin Shang.

You can't be as honest as water, others eat meat, but you can't even get soup and water, so what's the point of the soldiers who follow you?

"Governor Qin, Commander Luo asks to see you."

"Hurry up, please."

Luo Yangxing is now a partner, and the two are in the honeymoon period. However, Governor Song on the side said goodbye and left, and it was his usual practice to protect himself.
