When he just entered Shaanxi, he faced a lot of things, but what Su Tiancheng thought of was mainly the living conditions of the people in Shaanxi Province.

Along the way, he did not trouble Fuzhou County, straight to the road, now it is October, the autumn harvest is not long, it is said that the people should have food to eat, the most difficult time of the year, generally in the first few months of the year, when the green and yellow are not connected, but the situation seen along the road, or he is a little frightened.

A large number of displaced people, wandering on the official road, after seeing the large army coming, these displaced people panicked, unable to dodge, from time to time there were cries, the displaced people are all yellow and thin, mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children.

Su Tiancheng asked the reason, he never imagined that the reason for the emergence of these displaced people actually had a direct relationship with him, it turned out that because of his assumption of office, the officials and officials at all levels in Shaanxi were frightened, desperately completing the task of paying taxes, exploiting the people, for fear that he would be removed from his position, because Su Tiancheng has the power to directly appoint officials, Shaanxi has suffered some famines in recent years, coupled with the harassment of the rogues, the people are not able to complete the tax task at all, so soon after the autumn harvest, a large number of displaced people were produced again, The strong homeless people went directly to Hanzhong Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion to join the Liukou team.

The old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children left behind can only wander on the official road.

Some people also suggested going directly to Henan Province, I heard that the people there lived very well, no one starved to death, and the government and officials were concerned about the common people.

It is a pity that the government at all levels in Shaanxi still did not let go of these displaced people, they did not allow the displaced people to enter the city, and the inspection departments in various places always checked the displaced people on the official roads, and even some sergeants insulted and raped women and killed young people. looted the only belongings of the homeless people, causing a lot of complaints. The vast majority of the displaced people are farmers who have stayed at home, and they don't know which direction Henan Mansion should go towards, even if they know the road, it is unlikely that they will pass through the layers of checkpoints.

Su Tiancheng's face turned blue with anger.

He didn't expect that he had just entered Shaanxi Province. I received such a big gift.

This is a question that he cannot avoid, and it is also a question that cannot be avoided.

What made Su Tiancheng feel strange was that although the homeless people along the way said in unison that the officials everywhere were setting up cards to intercept them, and they were all setting up cards on the official road, Su Tiancheng did not meet him, he did not see any of them, nor did he see the officials greet them on the official road, a large army of 50,000 people. The scale is very large, and it is impossible for the local government to be unaware.

Of course, this is also the first thing Su Tiancheng released the rumors, he doesn't like to attract the set, prohibiting officials at all levels from accompanying the march to Shaanxi Province to be competent, although they can't make a private visit, but they still need to know some information. Besides, ordinary people. It is not necessary to know that he came to Shaanxi, let alone know him.

The nearest distance is from Anyi City in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, and directly enters the boundary under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture in Shaanxi Province, this road has to pass through Tongguan. This is a famous pass, and it is also the pass that Sun Chengzong once focused on defending.

But Su Tiancheng chose to enter the territory under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Mansion from Daning, from Yan'an Mansion to Xi'an Mansion.

Yan'an Mansion is very famous in Shaanxi Province, and it is not small in the Ming Dynasty. There are several groups of rogues here, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, and Li Zicheng are from Yan'an Mansion, and Zhang Xianzhong also started an incident here. Judging from the actual situation today, the main leaders of the Liukou are basically from Yan'an Mansion.

If he can have a preliminary impression of this place, Su Tiancheng is confident that he can analyze the characters of Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and others, and use his own historical understanding to exterminate the Liukou in the shortest possible time.

It's a pity that what greeted Su Tiancheng was the loess high slope.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Su Tiancheng saw the loess slope for the first time, the autumn harvest season has passed, and the cultivated land on the loess slope looks so chilling, and he suddenly saw it, and he couldn't believe that grain could also grow on such a land.

Yan'an Mansion is short of water, this is Su Tiancheng's deepest impression, passing through some villages, seeing the common people, almost all have sweat stains on their faces, the clothes they are wearing, they can also see traces, and they can smell the smell from afar.

For a moment, Su Tiancheng expressed his understanding to Gao Yingxiang and the others, but such thoughts were only fleeting, they belonged to different classes, and it was impossible to integrate with each other, Gao Yingxiang and the others' minds had completely changed, and they would never be satisfied with a peaceful life.

All the way through Ganquan, Yanzhou, Luochuan, Central China, Yijun, on October 5, the large army entered Tongguan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture, and Su Tiancheng's mood became heavier and heavier.

There are many problems, it should be said that the situation in Yan'an Mansion is not the worst, according to the situation mastered by Su Tiancheng, the worst is Pingliang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion, and the Yan'an Mansion that I see in my eyes is already such a situation, let alone Pingliang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion.

He remembered Sun Chengzong's words, the conditions in Shaanxi Province were originally good, during the Wanli and Apocalypse years, the people here were barely able to have enough food and clothing, but the ensuing natural disasters, coupled with the chaos of the Liukou, made this place in Shaanxi begin to fall into a vicious circle, the government and officials changed their views on the people, and all the people became the source of the rogue army, resulting in the deterioration of the relationship between the government and the people, officials at all levels, not thinking about how to improve the lives of the people, not to care about agricultural production, Rather, I thought about how to suppress the homeless people and how to reduce the number of homeless people.

This situation lasted for a long time, starting in the first year of Chongzhen and continuing until now.

The officials in the imperial court are most afraid of going to Liaodong, followed by coming to Shaanxi.

Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, according to his fate, after staying in Henan Mansion for a while, the next step is probably to go to Liaodong, where people are afraid to go, he wants to go, and he can't object.

Tongguan County is close to the official road.

The situation that Su Tiancheng saw along the road was almost the same, many people lived in the cave, which is also a characteristic of the northwest region, and after hundreds of years, this kind of situation exists.

The governor's yamen was located in Xianyang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture.

The speed of the large army is very fast, although some ordinary people are helped along the way, but the fundamental problem has not been solved, the displaced people are still dangling on the official road, Su Tiancheng has thought about it carefully, although he is the governor of Shaanxi Province, but he has not really taken office, rashly issued some orders, may cause unnecessary trouble to himself, the most important thing is that he does not know much about the situation of the officials at all levels in Shaanxi Province, and the information sent by the secret line cannot be so specific.

Outside the county seat of Tongguan County.

From afar, Su Tiancheng saw the crowd of black pressure.

It can't be a homeless person, and the homeless people are not allowed to get close to the county seat.

Liu Tiehan, who was exploring the road in front, quickly came over to report.

"My lord, the officials of Shaanxi Province's Chengxuan Political Envoy Si Yamen, the Sentencing Envoy Si Yamen, the Command Envoy Si Yamen, the Xi'an Prefecture Yamen, the Xianyang County Yamen, and the officials of the Tongguan County Yamen have all arrived in Tongguan County to greet your lordship."

With so many officials coming to greet him, it was impossible for Su Tiancheng to lose his temper.

Despite the discomfort inside, he smiled.

Headed by Shaanxi Provincial Political Envoy Pu Kaiqiang, the former governor has already left Shaanxi and gone to the capital, so today's Shaanxi Province is temporarily responsible for the overall work.

The proclamation of the political envoy department, the criminal prosecution department, and the command of the embassy department, known as the three divisions, together constitute the provincial-level political power organs, which are respectively responsible for the administration, justice, and military, of which the power of the political envoy is the greatest.

The production of the governor, the history is not long, and it is also a unique product of the Ming Dynasty, the meaning of the governor, is to take the emperor to tour the world, pacify the military and the people, the initial is only a temporary position, when Yingzong, the governor's authority is formally determined, become the highest chief executive of a province, the authority of the three divisions is obviously weakened.

In the Wanli period, the governor has become the decision-maker of a province, the chief of the three divisions, reduced to a clerk, everything must be done according to the requirements of the governor, however, there are also political envoys who are very hard in the background, and dare to confront the governor.

Su Tiancheng became the governor of Shaanxi Province, and he originally had to take care of the emotions of many officials in Shaanxi Province, but he had the privileges granted by the emperor in his hands, and he could appoint and dismiss officials below the prefect level of Shaanxi Province by himself, and he also served as the commander of the Jiangning battalion, so his power was indeed very great.

However, Su Tiancheng still can't adjust the main chiefs of the three divisions at will, these people are directly controlled by the emperor and the cabinet.

The meeting is all an old routine, there is nothing special, the scene of the meeting between officials is very cordial, everyone has a smile on their faces, although the meaning of their smiles is different.

Looking at the smiling faces, Su Tiancheng's heart is a little complicated, after a long time, he will do it, at least the prefect and the prefecture are going to be adjusted on a large scale, and they must be replaced by their own henchmen, otherwise they will not be able to do things in Shaanxi Province, and the officials of Shaanxi Province have faced the rogue for a long time, and their inner thoughts have been fixed, subconsciously, the officials think that the common people are all Diao Min, and they are all the follow-up personnel of the rogue Kou, such a mentality, it is impossible to complete the work required by Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng knows better that he is ready to make a big move in Shaanxi, which will definitely cause large-scale fluctuations, which is unavoidable, thinking about changing the situation in Shaanxi Province, he has to face such fluctuations, but how to think of a good way to find a suitable opportunity, this is worth thinking carefully.

On October 9, Su Tiancheng and his entourage finally arrived in Xianyang County.

From this day on, he was truly in office. (To be continued......)
