Chapter 52 3 Eggs Cut Red Yanyan (5)

Everything was as Zhao Kang expected:

On the third day of the eighth month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the county Cheng of Yanchuan County, Yan'an Prefecture, colluded with the local squires to imprison the county commander Guo Wenzheng, and blatantly resisted Zhao Kang's order to abolish the cheap nationality and apportionment into the mu. On the sixth day of August, Zhao Kangdong, the garrison officer of the Fifth Guard of the Eighth Route Army, led his troops to attack Yanchuan County, beheaded Yanchuan County, and all the squires who participated in the rebellion searched their homes, confiscated all their family property and fields, and their families were sentenced to three to five years in prison, and were assigned to dig coal in the mines of Fugu and Shenmu counties.

At the beginning of September, the squires of Dingbian County collectively rioted, impacting the Dingbian County Ya, and on the same day they were suppressed by Li Laoguan, the second guard of the Eighth Route Army, and all the gentry who participated in the riot were raided and sent to the construction site to build the Yellow River water conservancy project.

......

Rebellions arose one after another, but Zhao Kang didn't care.

In the backyard of the governor's yamen, Zhao Kang was happily asking Zhao Fugui: "How much silver have we copied out of the house now?" ”

Zhao Fugui said: "Young master, there are already more than 18,000 taels of silver transported to the governor's yamen, and according to statistics, there are more than 11,000 taels that have not yet arrived. ”

Zhao Kang nodded with satisfaction, and earned nearly 30,000 taels of silver in a short period of time, thinking: Copying a house is really a low-cost, high-yield job, and the most important thing is that there is no technical content at all.

As for the name of "Governor of the Family" that was rumored outside, Zhao Kang didn't care at all. As long as the money is in place, let alone the governor of the house, what if it is the governor who kills the head and the governor who destroys the door? Can fame be eaten?

Zhao Kang said: "Zhao Fugui, you go and arrange for all the people to cast all this silver for me to cast into 1 tael of silver bars and save them for me to use for military salaries in the future." Also, how's the conscription going? ”

Zhao Fugui said: "Now under the rule of adults, as long as everyone is not particularly lazy, they can basically have food and clothing, and most of the people are unwilling to be soldiers and eat food that licks blood on the knife's edge." So far, only 11,000 people have been recruited from the Eighth Route Army reserves, plus the elite selected from the border army. ”

Zhao Kang said: "This is a difficult problem, but you won't find a way?" If you can't recruit soldiers on my territory, young master, you won't send people to recruit troops on someone else's territory? For example, those border troops in Ningxia Town and Gansu Town, many of them are still very combative, you find some people to run to publicize the treatment of our Eighth Route Army soldiers and soldiers' families, as well as our conscription requirements, and then set up a conscription point in Yanchi Fort in Ningxia Town, I don't think we need to recruit, those military families who are so poor in Ningxia Wei that they don't even have pants to wear will all drag their families to join us. The strong ones will be conscripted into the army, and those who do not meet the requirements will be arranged to work at major construction sites. ”

Zhao Fugui said: "Young master, isn't this right?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "What's wrong? Those military households were not forcibly captured by us, but they came here voluntarily, what does it have to do with us? Not only that, but you can send people to set up some conscription points around us, such as Pingliang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Xi'an Mansion, and even Shanxi on the other side of the Yellow River, and recruit as many people as you can. It is best to let the six garrisons of our Eighth Route Army have two soldiers of 12,400 people under each command, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with in case the Mongolian Tartars or anti-thieves come over. ”

Zhao Fugui said: "Okay young master, I will definitely arrange it properly." ”

As soon as Zhao Fugui went down, Zhao Kang received an urgent letter from You Wanxiong, the commander of Fugu County: Zhao Laocai, the old housekeeper of Zhao Kang's family in Suzhou, Jiangnan, had taken Chunmei's mother and sister to Fugu by boat, and was now on their way to Yulin. You Wanxiong has already arranged for Xia Menghu, the new chief of the Fugu County Police Department, to personally escort him (Li Sheng has already been transferred by Zhao Kang to Yulin as the director of the Yansui Town Police Department), and he will be able to arrive in Yulin at about noon tomorrow.

Zhao Kang hurriedly called Zhao Fugui, and by the way, he called Chunmei too, and arranged three rooms for the old housekeeper Zhao Laocai and Chunmei's mother and sister in the backyard of the governor's yamen.

Because Zhao Kang did not use the habit of using subordinates, there were several gatekeepers and guards living in the entire governor's yamen, and there was not even a maid ring, and all of them belonged to the military restricted area within a radius of 100 zhang, so they were lifeless and terrifying at night. Zhao Kang also just hopes that a few more people will live in and be more popular.

At noon the next day, Zhao Kang arranged for someone to set up a banquet and made a special trip to pick up Chunmei's mother, sister and Zhao Laocai, the old housekeeper who was loyal to his Zhao family, according to Zhao Fugui. Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper and Chunmei's sister and mother refused to sit at the table to eat with Zhao Kang, Zhao Laocai said that what must not be messed up with the rules, the master is the master, and the next person is the next person, how can you eat at the same table? This situation made Zhao Kang very depressed.

The old housekeeper didn't serve the table, Chunmei and Zhao Fugui had to follow and not sit down, and finally Zhao Kang ordered a few people to sit down and eat together as the governor of Yansui, and the three of them trembled and put half of their butts next to the bench, and Chunmei and Zhao Fugui were relieved.

But the three of them still took small bites of the rice in the bowl in front of them, and they didn't dare to clip the dishes. Zhao Kang was speechless, but it was not good to say anything.

During the banquet, the old housekeeper Zhao Laocai said: "Young master, I came here in Shaanxi this time, first, to escort Dongmei's mother and daughter, and second, the master heard that Fugu County, Shaanxi Province has been a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, a Tartar, and a thief, and I am very worried about your safety, let me come to see you." Now that he sees that the young master is still in such good health, the old slave is relieved. ”

Zhao Kang patted his chest and said: "Actually, Shaanxi is also quite good, you see the young master and I, I am an official in Shaanxi, and the speed of this promotion is faster than riding a horse, and now I am a second-class member of the court, the feudal official of Suisui, you go back and tell my father when you arrive, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything, it's useless to worry." ”

Zhao Laocai said: "Yes, even the old man and the old slave, I didn't expect the young master to become a big official like the governor of Yansui at a young age, and we always thought that you were still a county magistrate in Fugu." I think that if the lord knows about this, he will definitely be so happy that he can't sleep, this is a big event of the glorious lintel! The Suzhou Zhao family's five generations of single transmission, there has never been an official, young master, you are still the first. Actually, the old slave came to Shaanxi this time, and the master personally confessed, and there is an important thing to tell the young master, that is, the master set a family affair for you in Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan not long ago, come and ask the young master if you are not satisfied......"
