Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Officers Are All Landlords

I really apologize, the unit is not completely anti-"four winds", formalism prevails, every day to organize the office to plant trees and make cement floors, just after tossing, and then to hold a party congress, today I hid outside and took the time to code a sheet, and strive to code another chapter at night.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Lu Congliang waved his way back and said, "Do you know that Lord Shi has an old relationship with Lord Cao, the chief soldier of Wusong?" ”

"I've heard of it!"

Li Chuan nodded, and immediately understood.

Outsiders may not be able to understand these things, but after he became the commander of Jin Shanwei, it was very easy to inquire, Lu Congliang said this seems to be a bit of a superfluous move, but in fact, he is showing his heart.

The things in the officialdom are clouded and foggy, and some words will not be said openly, only to comprehend.

Lu Congliang's extra move is to get closer to him in a vague way.

Li Chuan was not stupid, and gladly accepted Lu Congliang's approach.

The experience of the guard is the same as that of the county order, and they are all civil officials of the seventh grade. But in terms of power, the experience of the Wei Institute is far worse than that of a county, and if you really have a backstage, you will not do the work of a scribe in the Wei Institute.

"Do a good job, if there is something that the official doesn't understand in the future, I have to rely on Master Lu more."

Li Chuan comforted Lu Congliang for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.

Lu Congliang was greatly excited, and sent him to the door courteously, and only then did he let out a long sigh after seeing Li Chuan leave.

It is said that it is difficult to be an official, but who has such a profound experience of him.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are very good, but that is just a general statement, officials like Lu Congliang who were thrown into the guard and had no hope of being promoted all their lives, as long as they have the opportunity to climb up, even if they are asked to tie up with the military attachΓ©, it is not a big deal.

As for whether he will join the camp of civilian officials and suppress military attachΓ©s after he gets up, that is a matter for the future.

After a week of socializing, Li Chuan began to work officially.

Jin Shanwei's officials welcomed his arrival, at least on the surface, and did not show resistance, this is a good start, as for whether these people will cooperate at work, that is a matter for the future.

When I first started working, I didn't really have much to do.

The first thing Li Chuan had to do was to understand the situation of Jin Shanwei.

He asked a few officials to get the information of the health center, and after only a few glances, he found that there was too much water in these materials, for example, the recorded land was less than 6,000 acres of land, the reason was that a large number of military households had fled, and many fields were deserted.

This is pure.

The land was not deserted, but in the name of the officials of the guard.

As for the fugitive military households, it is even more ridiculous.

The military household did not flee, but became the tenant of the officers of the guard.

It seems that if you want to really find out the details, you still have to find another breakthrough.

It is impossible to see the real situation from the data.

Outside the class room, Zhao Tiezhu guarded the door like a door god.

In a class room next to him, Lu Congliang was meticulously flipping through the files.

The two officials stood aside, exchanging glances from time to time, both of them a little confused.

These things are all old things that have been sealed five years ago, so what's so nice.

Although they slandered in their hearts, the little officials didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Although the experience officer is small, he is the top official of these small officials.

If anyone is not interested, Lu Congliang can directly let him get out.

The sound of contemplative footsteps sounded outside, and the two little officials couldn't help but look up at the door.

Lu Congliang also looked over, and immediately smiled when he saw the people who came in.

"Your Excellency!"

Lu Congliang hurriedly greeted him, and the lord was a little puzzled, how could this boss come here.

Li Chuan glanced at it, didn't go inside, and said at the door: "Go out for a walk with me." ”

"Yes!"

Lu Congliang hurriedly agreed, put down the file in his hand and walked out, feeling a little excited in his heart.

It seems that his statement was not in vain, and he was rewarded so quickly.

The conductor asked him to go out with him, which was good news.

When he went out and saw Zhao Tieshou guarding the door, Lu Congliang hurriedly smiled at Zhao Tiezhu affectionately.

Zhao Tiezhu was a little unaccustomed to it, so he moved his gaze away expressionlessly.

Lu Congliang didn't care, and followed behind Li Chuan with all his might.

Out of the command envoy yamen, Li Chuan went to the beach in a hurry.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is good, there is no majestic and majestic atmosphere in the north, but there are mountains and rivers that are not in the north, and everywhere you go are green grass and green trees, so that Li Chuan, a modern person, can fully appreciate the beauty of nature.

Li Chuan did not go to the wharf, but to the military port a mile away.

The guards along the coast of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as both land and water armies in the Hongwu period, and they are equipped with warships, but time has changed, and today, two hundred years later, not to mention the navy, the warships in the military port have long disappeared.

Even the military port has long been abandoned and is about to be filled with sediment.

Lu Congliang followed behind, observing Li Chuan's face attentively, and kept thinking in his heart, this young commander, who was said to be favored by His Majesty, did not go anywhere else, but came to the military port, not knowing what to do.

"Where are the warships in this water village?"

Li Chuan walked around the military port and asked casually.

Lu Congliang only hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said: "My lord doesn't know, since Yongle, the guards in various places have gradually been abolished, and Jinshanwei originally had twenty-four warships, but it is said that it was sold to merchants as early as the orthodox years. ”

Li Chuan nodded, and was not surprised, and asked again: "How many fields are there?" ”

Lu Congliang did not hesitate at this time, and replied: "Jinshan Wei originally had 800 hectares of fertile land, 1,325 hectares of secondary fields, or 106,250 acres, but thirty percent of them were under the name of the late commander Yan, forty percent were under the names of the two Tongzhi adults and the servants, and two percent were under the names of five thousand households and hundreds of households, and only half of the fields registered by Wei were more than half. ”

Li Chuan said: "Where did Bancheng go?" ”

Lu Congliang hesitated and said, "There are more than 100 acres of land under the name of the lower officials, and the rest are under the names of other officials. ”

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for telling me the truth." ”

Lu Congliang said: "Your Excellency is polite, this is a matter within the official duties!" ”

Li Chuan pondered in his heart that Jinshanwei had more than 100,000 mu of land, but less than one-tenth of it belonged to the guard, and the erosion of the guardhouse was obvious, and the key was that the officers of the guardhouse not only occupied the land, but also the people.

If you occupy the land, we will admit it, but if you occupy the people, it will be a little unkind.

Without people, how can we train the navy and form a fleet to go to sea?

However, the former commander Yan Gang offended the emperor somewhere and was taken away, and the remaining 30,000 acres of land and military households were just received, although 30,000 acres of land is not small, compared to those wealthy families who have thousands of hectares of fertile land at every turn, but it is not a small number for Li Chuan, 30,000 acres of land must have at least 1,000 tenants, and these populations are his foundation.

Li Chuan asked, "Commander Yan is gone, who is in charge of the fields under his name?" ”

Lu Congliang said: "Chen Yuanhua is in charge. ”

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Take this official to have a look." ”
