Chapter 379: To Each His Heart
Messages are always worn quickly.
Liu Jingting began to play a role, and with an allegro book, the people of Henan Mansion understood that the person who came to Henan Mansion to serve as the prefect turned out to be the adult who was in Henan for disaster relief a few years ago.
This time, the people really believed that there was really a Qingtian lord in Henan Mansion.
However, these requirements are simply a disaster for the officials of Henan Prefecture.
In the treasury, it is impossible to have so much silver, and the taxes received have long gone into the pockets of the officials, and now I think that they will take it out, and it can be regarded as pulling snakes out of the snake hole.
Although it is said that Su Tiancheng has the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor in his hand, there are also officials who think that the law does not blame the public, and everyone does not follow it, can it be said that Su Tiancheng will kill all the officials, from this point of view, Su Tiancheng is a lonely person, and it is impossible to do right with the officials of the entire Henan Mansion.
There are still many officials who have this kind of thought, and everyone's eyes are naturally focused on Li Zixiong, the governor of Shaanzhou.
After all, Li Zixiong is the governor of the state, and from the rank of the five grades, he governs Lingbao County and Ruxiang County, such a thing, the magistrate county cannot get ahead, the rank is not enough, and there is no appeal.
Just when the government government sent people to the prefecture and county to publicize, the county magistrates also sent their own staff to Shaanzhou to find Li Zixiong to discuss the method.
Although Henan Mansion is a poor place, the income of the officials is still okay, and many officials here collude with businessmen to raise prices at will, and the prices of grain and salt are unbelievable, and the consequences of this are also clear to the officials, which will inevitably make the people poorer and poorer, and there is nothing to be done. Sell the land and become tenants or vagrants.
The officials don't care, anyway, many times the imperial court is exempted from paying taxes here, besides, the rogue has been harassed over the years. All sins can be blamed on the rogue.
What they think of is the immediate benefits, the silver can enter the pocket, it can be considered their own, as long as they have the silver, they will tie up with their boss, find a way to transfer out, pat their butts and leave, what does it have to do with themselves here.
Not all officials. can all get benefits, officials who have no power in their hands can only live on their money, and it is even difficult to support their families, and there is no way to look at it, who calls you have no power.
There must be a problem, the officials have a good fortune, and the officials will be miserable. mixed well, and got the attention of the officials above. He who was able to get good errands earned more than the money of the officials was many times greater, and those who mixed poorly could not get errands, and his condition was worse than that of a beggar, and he could not eat enough.
Li Zixiong didn't expect it either. After the government issued a notice, the magistrates of the thirteen counties all sent staff.
His resentment was very big, and he originally thought that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying had come to Henan Mansion. There are requirements above, I can take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit, all the responsibilities belong to the government and Jiang Ningying, and it has nothing to do with me, I didn't expect Su Tiancheng to come here.
In a poor place like Shaanzhou, ghosts are willing to stay, rich gentry and wealthy households, including businessmen, have to find ways to get out of here, Li Zixiong, as a governor, if he can't get silver, what is it to work hard as an official.
It's been three years in Shaanzhou, and a lot of money has been made, even for those gentry and wealthy families who have left Shaanzhou, the old mansion is here, and they can't forget filial piety every year, let alone the money looted from the people. Shaanzhou is the border of the three provinces, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people here don't know anything, they are afraid of the government, they don't dare to put one, it's a big deal when the rogue comes, a swarm of bees followed. Li Zixiong wanted the displaced people to do the same.
The notice issued by the government cut off his financial route, and asked the government to help the people, which was equivalent to taking money from his pocket, how could he obediently comply.
Li Zixiong is not a stupid person, so he finally got into the position of Zhizhou.
He also carefully analyzed, Su Tiancheng has not been in Henan Mansion for a long time, and he has not been able to gain a thorough foothold, to put it bluntly, there are no supporting officials, and there is no group of people around him, although the emperor has given Shang Fang the sword, Su Tiancheng cannot kill on a large scale, and the matter still needs to be done by the officials below.
With such an idea, Li Zixiong vigorously supported the decision of the government government on the surface, and also sent officials from the state government to follow and publicize it, but secretly, there was no action, he ignored whether the people had seeds or grain, and he did not adjust the prices of grain and salt and other commodities.
After the representatives of the thirteen counties came to Shaanzhou, Li Zixiong was dizzy, and he was arranged to be in the official post world, and all the expenses were directly responsible for the state government.
The effect of consulting with everyone is very good, and Li Zixiong is very satisfied.
Many counties have the same idea.
In the end, Li Zixiong made a decision that the thirteen counties of Henan Prefecture must show the best posture, cooperate with the propaganda of the government office, and let all the people know the way, but when it comes to specific implementation, everyone will unite to resist and never implement the matters arranged by the government government.
After the representative of the thirteen counties left, Li Zixiong was very proud, the method he thought of was seamless, when the time came, Su Tiancheng could not fulfill his promise, and the people of Henan Mansion were overjoyed, Su Tiancheng did not think about raising his head in Henan Mansion, he naturally had to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Li Zixiong dared to do this, of course, for other reasons.
Everything that happened in Shaanzhou did not escape Su Tiancheng's eyes.
The information continued to come to Su Tiancheng's hands, including the specific opinions discussed by Li Zixiong and everyone, specific methods, etc., and the power of the dark line was everywhere.
Su Tiancheng watched all this happen and did not take action for the time being.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he has to wait for the best moment.
After experiencing the disaster relief in Henan, Su Tiancheng's attitude towards officials has already undergone a fundamental change, you are kind to others, it is not easy to think about others, people will not think like this, and people will want your life.
To be merciful to one's opponent is to be cruel to oneself.
The five things that were required to be done in the thirteen counties of Henan Prefecture were actually a bureau set up by Su Tiancheng.
Everything was expected by him, and sure enough, someone got in.
After getting the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang and others carefully discussed, the new official took office with three fires, and if he did not establish his majesty, he would not be able to open the situation here, the officials of Henan Mansion, if they could make changes in time and do it according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, everyone would be fine, but if he thought about Yang Feng Yin violation, or even secretly sabotage, then don't blame him Su Tiancheng for being ruthless.
After all, people are afraid of death, and they punish one or two officials, and the rest of them are not obedient and obedient.
Besides, Su Tiancheng still has a key twist and turn, which has not yet been played, that is, the arrangement of the officials of Henan Prefecture, if it is to be moved, it will be greatly adjusted, piecemeal, and the energy of time will be delayed.
When he was in Jiangning County, he made a big move, killed more than a dozen officials and officials, and shocked many officials in one fell swoop.
All the preparations are going on in secret.
This is like two lines, on the one hand, Su Tiancheng is secretly arranging and methodically advancing the work, and on the other hand, Li Zixiong and others have discussed the method and are ready to secretly confront.
The restless Henan Mansion is destined to have a big event that shakes the imperial court.
It's the end of February.
The sowing season is about to begin, and the officials sent by the government to Luoyang, including the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, have returned to Luoyang County one after another, and the propaganda momentum has been very great, and the officials and soldiers who have gone to the counties on behalf of the government have worked out specific measures together with the officials of the prefectures and counties.
These measures were also planned by Su Tiancheng in advance.
For example, the problem of seeds must be distributed to farmers within three months, and the season cannot be delayed, and the planting season will be missed, and the grain harvest will be greatly affected.
Another example is the establishment of the Jinong Warehouse, which must be completed within half a month, and the officials of the prefecture and county yamen must go to the villages and towns to understand the situation and see which peasant households have run out of grain and can no longer sustain themselves.
As for the matter of stabilizing prices, it will be implemented immediately after the government government's notice is issued, and it must not be delayed for a moment.
All the plans are set up in great detail, and when they are implemented, as long as they are in accordance with the requirements of the plans, there will be no problems.
A few days passed, and the hopeful people and farmers did not wait for the change they wanted.
The prices in the market have still not fallen, not to mention the rest of the states and counties, that is, the prices in Luoyang County, which are still in the same state, and there is no sign of decline.
These days, the government has not seen any movement.
The new prefect, who seems to have spent a lot of time, stayed in the Jiangning camp and didn't ask about these things.
At the same time, rumors began to appear in Luoyang County, which generally meant that the prefect had come to Henan Mansion to take office, and the reason why these decisions were made was to show his wisdom, so that the adults in the court and the emperor would know the truth, as for whether it was necessary to implement these decisions, that was another matter.
The common people believed such rumors, and there were more and more discussions in Luoyang County, and the people dared not speak out, and no one dared to openly express their dissatisfaction.
Such rumors soon began to spread to the rest of the states and counties, and the speed was unbelievable.
In the mansion, he also began to be agitated, the most typical is Liu Jingting, who worked hard to publicize it below, but the most difficult situation is like this, which he can't bear, but what Su Tiancheng thinks about and what measures he is going to take, he doesn't know what to do.
Su Tiancheng finally returned to the mansion, and this time, everyone's eyes were all focused, thinking about what the prefect would do. (To be continued......)
