Chapter 31 Ten times the amount owed

Zhang Ping, who went to the imperial court to report the military situation (Walking horse bearing: officials from all over the country who reported the military situation to the imperial court), rushed back to Rong Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough I didn't get too many rewards from the court this time, the emperor said that when the war was understood, everyone would be rewarded for meritorious deeds, which finally gave Cao Tian an explanation.

Walking outside Zhenrong City, Zhang Chengcheng saw the army of the Song Dynasty stationed on both sides of the official road, and he knew that these were the teams led by the king. Thinking that Wang was impeached by Cao Tian, Zhang Cheng rode a horse and entered the city along the official road. The guards guarding the city at the gate of the city saw that Zhang Cheng was wearing an official uniform, and stepped forward to stop Zhang Cheng and his entourage: "This official, do you have an official document when you enter the city?" ”

Zhang Cheng felt strange, he had only been walking for more than ten days, and the soldiers defending the city didn't even know him. He was originally Cao Tian's cronies, and he was even more arrogant when he was able to enter and leave the capital, and he couldn't help but be a little angry when he was stopped by soldiers for no reason. "Get out of the way, don't you know this official?"

The soldier had already recognized that he was walking to bear Zhang Cheng, but the soldiers defending the city knew that the king of Zhennan had an order to tie up Zhang Cheng as long as he entered the city. When the soldier heard Zhang Cheng say this, he immediately grabbed Zhang Chengma's reins and said: "I really don't know who you are, but the government has an order, Zhenrong is an important frontier place, and those who enter Zhenrong must have official documents or certificates." You are wearing official clothes, if you are entering Zhenrong on official business, then ask the official to prove it, and I will go to the government office to report it as soon as possible. ”

"Damn, this official is an official of Zhenrong, and you still need to report when you enter Zhenrong? I don't care about you! Zhang Cheng was very annoyed, and whipped at the soldier. With a snap, the soldier's face was bloodied. At present, Cao Tian has beheaded the king, Cao Tian's old department has almost been dismissed, and the arrogant people who used to be arrogant have stepped down, and some soldiers are often deducted from military salaries by Cao Tian and others, and they have long hated Cao Tian and Zhang Cheng and others. The soldier was also annoyed when he was whipped for no reason, and thinking of the order of the prince, seven or eight soldiers surrounded him.

Among the soldiers, I don't know who said: "Pull him off the horse!" Tie it up and send it to the government office! ”

Zhang Cheng didn't know that during the time he left Zhenrong, Zhenrong had changed a lot, and he said angrily: "Who dare I think?!" Be careful that Cao Zhijun asks you! ”

It's good that he didn't say this, but it was even worse, and the soldiers surrounded him and laughed: "Then you can reason with Cao Zhijun!" Everyone dragged Zhang Cheng off the horse and threw it on the horse, one of the two soldiers led the horse, and the other followed the government behind.

On the streets of Zhenrong, there were more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and the people pointed at Zhang Cheng: "Look, isn't that Zhang Cheng?" ”

"Not really! Hey, I don't think he's much better than Cao Tian. Should! This guy usually bullies, but now he can see it! ”

Zhang Cheng was lying on horseback, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, how could there be so many people on Zhenrong Street in ordinary times? Even if you grab something on the street, even if you hurt someone, not so many people will look at it. The common people saw them like mice and cats, why did they all come out today?

There were also children on the street, clapping their hands behind the horses, singing a little song that I don't know who composed: "The king of Zhennan goes west, drives away the enemies of Western Xia, punishes the overlord officials, and the military order cannot be bullied." ”

Listening to these words, Zhang Cheng had an ominous premonition, these people are going crazy! Who gave them so much courage, is it the king's side? The more he listened, the more cautious he became, feeling like he was being paraded through the streets, why was the road from the city gate to the government so long.

In the hall of the Zhenrong Mansion, Wang was discussing official affairs with Hu Ke, Sun Zhe and the directors of the Zhenrong Mansion. Hu Ke said with a happy face: "The matters arranged by the prince have been handled by the directors and officials, and although it has only been a few days, the results have been great. Now that military discipline has been rectified, the old and weak soldiers have also been resettled; Not only that, the household has also done a good job of enthronement of the household registration field, and the people's psychology is steady, now wait until the beginning of spring, everyone will plant in spring and harvest in autumn, I believe that it will not be long before Zhenrong will prosper. ”

Wang said: "This is only the first step, after all, Zhenrong is a heavy border area, and it will definitely not work without an army." Also, I think the people of Zhenrong are also poor enough, have you ever thought about it, the fields are divided, but if the people don't even have the money to buy seeds, what will they do to plant the land in the spring? Also, this time, Zhenrong rectified military discipline and carried out disarmament, what should I do if the troops are insufficient? ”

"This ......" Hu Ke looked at the officials sitting on the left and right, and everyone was equally dazed: "Lord Wang, how long do you plan to stay in Zhenrong?" If you're gone, we don't really know what to do. He said with a sad face.

Wang thought for a while: "It is estimated that I won't stay long, there are things waiting for me to do in the capital and Yongzhou." I have already played the matter of Zhenrong Zhijun to the imperial court, and there will be a suitable person to take the position, if the Zhijun can't take office for a while, then I will transfer Wang Shao back to Zhenrong before I leave. As for the silver taels developed by the people's spring planting, I suggest you refer to the green seedling method."

"What is the Seedlings Method?" Hu Ke and the others asked.

Wang Fang came prepared, he knew that the historical Qingmiao Law was an agricultural credit policy implemented by the government, and there were two reasons for the failure of his father Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law, one was the unauthorized increase of interest at the local level, and the other was that the apportionment of forced loans had degenerated into a heterogeneous tax burden. Therefore, it is essential to train and standardize the personnel who implement it.

"The seedling method means that before the summer and autumn harvest every year, the government borrows spare money or grain to subsidize farmers' farming. But! I would like to emphasize that the credit base must be voluntary and cannot be imposed. Also, it is possible that I will also open the bank's semicolon to Qin Fenglu, at that time, farmers can choose to borrow from the government, or they can choose to borrow from the bank, so whether the government's interest is credible or not, it will be clear at a glance at that time. ”

Hu Ke praised: "The prince is a good way, I heard that the prince is very good at governing Yongzhou, you can tell me quickly, there are other ways to make Zhenrong rich quickly." ”

In Wang's heart, he longed for the more places where these new laws were implemented, the more effective the better. He set his eyes on Zhi Kejun, secretly thinking that he would probably be in the capital most of the time in the future, Zhenrong was the second pilot he chose, and if he wanted to take the method of encircling the center, he had to install his most powerful assistant in each pilot. Zhen Rong is acting as a substitute for himself this time, and he is good at killing, but if he does not consolidate and succeed, he may fall short. Zhi Kejun has followed him for many years and is a military general, and the position of Zhenrong Zhijun is very suitable for him.

Thinking of this, Wang Bei smiled slightly: "General Zhe, you have been following this king, the various legal systems of Yongzhou, can you talk about it?" ”

"Of course!" Zhi Kejun said loudly: "In addition to the Qingmiao Method, the prince also has the immunization method, the farmland water conservancy method, and the corresponding armor protection method for the garrison defense. ”

Wang Bei nodded with satisfaction, Zhi Kejun looked at a very rough man, but he was actually much more careful than Han Derong and Wa Zhuang. Hu Ke hurriedly asked: "Then please tell General Zhe in detail, let us also listen to it." ”

Zhi Kejun's face turned red, how dare he show off these in front of the king, he smiled and said: "I have followed the prince for many years, these are familiar, but they are all watching the prince's orders, and the people below will carry out the ......"

Wang Bei stopped him: "General Zhe is too modest, I have the text of these systems, I will give you a copy when I go back, and you will have a chance to slowly tell Hu Tongju." ”

Zhi Kejun, Hu Ke and the others were pondering the meaning of Wang's words, and a guard came in to report: "Lord Qiqi, the soldiers guarding the city are here with an official who claims to be the duty of Zhenrong. ”

Everyone stopped talking, and Hu Ke, Sun Zhe and others whispered: "Bear it? Isn't that Zhang Cheng? All of them turned their eyes to the king.

Wang Bi knew that it must be Zhang Cheng, although he had never seen this Zhang Cheng, but Xue Xiang made it clear in the letter that Zhang Cheng went to the capital to ask for credit for Cao Tian and sued himself. He commanded, "Bring him in!" ”

Two soldiers guarding the city escorted Zhang Cheng into the lobby, and one soldier glared at Zhang Cheng angrily with a bloody face. As soon as Zhang Cheng entered the lobby, he felt that his scalp was fried, his head was confused, he looked towards the hall, where was Cao Tian's figure? In the middle of the lobby sat a young man in his twenties, dressed in a purple shirt, staring at him with a straight face.

"Look at what? Haven't you seen King Zhennan? Don't hurry up and see you! One of the guards drank from the side.

Zhang Cheng wanted to see him, but his arms were tied, so he could only bow down and say, "Xiaguan Zhang Ping, meet the prince!" As he spoke, he arched his eyes and peeked at the king.

This image doesn't look like a good person at first glance? The purpose of the thief is a bit of a court official. Wang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point: "Zhang Cheng, have you gone to the capital to complain to this king?" ”

Zhang Cheng already felt that the general trend was gone at this time, and he hurriedly defended and said: "Lord Wang, I am also under order, please be gracious to Lord Wang!" ”

The king glanced at him, then saw the blood on the soldier's face, pointed at the soldier and asked, "What did you do with that face?" ”

The soldier clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, if this man does not dismount when he enters the city, I will stop him and ask him for an official document, and he will whip it!" ”

The king could not help but be annoyed when he heard this, and he was so arrogant and domineering, he then asked the soldiers, "What do you have in your hand?" ”

The soldier replied, "Zhang Cheng's horsewhip!" ”

Wang pointed at Zhang Cheng and said to the soldiers: "How can he whip you, you will pay it back tenfold!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, just heard that there were soldiers who were officers, but he had not heard that soldiers could be paid back tenfold. When he was hesitating and wondering if he had heard it wrong, Hu Ke suddenly stood up and said: "You will do whatever the prince asks you to do, and now you are purging military discipline, not only the soldiers, but also these bullying officials." What are you afraid of! ”

Seeing that Zhen Rong had spoken, the soldier grinned: "Okay! The smile hurt the wound on his face, he subconsciously covered his face with one hand, and raised the whip with the other, only to hear the crisp snapping sound accompanied by Zhang Cheng's oops, which was particularly relieving to listen to in the lobby.
