Chapter 1: The Imperial History of the Prison Army
In June, Zhu Youzhen ordered the Denglai guerrilla Zhao Yan to suppress the Denglai horse bandits, and sent the new Denglai imperial historian Qian Zhiyi to supervise the army. Zhao Yan was dumbfounded, how could he come down with a prison army in two clicks.
However, the profits from exterminating those local wealthy clans were obviously huge, and more than 400,000 taels were earned in more than a month, which was still obtained after deducting the reward. It is almost enough to support this year's reclamation.
The prison army of the Ming Dynasty was generally served by eunuchs or imperial historians, and for Chongzhen to release a prison army, Zhao Yan was stunned and hurriedly called Zhang Buyun and Liu Heng to discuss the matter.
"The Holy Lord has sent a prison army down, how do you think you should deal with it?" Zhao Yan asked the two of them.
"The lord doesn't need to worry too much, now the officials of the imperial court are all bought by money. This overseer is no exception, and he only needs to stuff some silver to shut him up. Liu Heng said calmly.
Zhang Buyun laughed sinisterly, lowered his voice and said: "The lord is self-sufficient in both weapons and salaries, and he doesn't need to rely on the imperial court at all. If the overseer doesn't buy it, he can have some surprise. As long as the lord still has soldiers and horses in his hands, if the saint blames, at most he will be punished by his duties, and it will be completely innocuous to the lord. ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Yan nodded, the warlord is so good! is still a warlord who is not restricted in logistics and supply, and he can completely ignore Chongzhen's existence.
……
On June 17, Qian Zhiyi, the imperial history of Denglai, finally arrived.
Qian Zhiyi is in his forties this year, he is an Enke Jinshi in the first year of the Apocalypse, and he has always been just a speech official in the court. Qian Zhiyi's family background is no better than those who are business-born, and they are relatively poor.
There have also been some bigwigs in the DPRK and China who found him when they attacked each other, Qian Zhiyi has never had much guts, and he belongs to the type of speech officials who dare not say much, and he has no income.
This time, it was a chore to come to Denglai to supervise the army. The Denglai guerrillas were stationed in Denglai, and this time Denglai was barren, and the DPRK and China had never paid much.
Then how can the Denglai guerrillas have any silver to take out for filial piety?
Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to send eunuchs to supervise the army, but when those eunuchs heard that they were going to Denglai, they passed the buck to each other one by one. Only then did Yu Shi go to supervise the army.
There are also some people who are tempted by officials, but they are all poor officials like Qian Zhiyi. Qian Zhiyi went home and was complained by his insiders, and he was ruthless in his heart, and directly borrowed 2,000 taels of Beijing debt.
Beijing debt is a thing that eats people and does not spit out bones, those usurers are some powerful people, and those who want to repay the debt will generally pay the price, maybe the next day Jinyiwei will come to the door.
It can be imagined how resolute Qian Zhiyi's intention to get rich is. handed over the silver, and sure enough, it became the imperial history of Denglai. All the way, Qian Zhiyi was thinking about how to give the Denglai guerrillas a disadvantage after taking office, and then the Denglai guerrillas were so frightened that they obediently offered ten thousand taels of gold......
Along the way, I drove the horses in a hurry, and when I entered the territory of Laizhou, I immediately saw a depression, and the fields on both sides of the official road were planted with grain, less than one acre out of ten.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this Denglai is really depressed. In such a depressed environment, military generals generally don't have much silver.
However, when they entered the two places of Denglai, there were really fewer bandits.
Although Qian Zhiyi is full of YY, he still pays more attention to collecting intelligence. On the way, I asked some people, and they all said that they were guerrilla generals who had exterminated the bandits, and they all revealed a trace of gratitude in their words.
Qian Zhiyi naturally knew about the Denglai guerrillas in Denglai's two places, and this was reported to the imperial court. It's just that Qian Zhiyi thought at first that this was probably a good killing, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"A few months ago, after the general suppressed bandits in Denglai, there were very few bandits in Denglai. We can also farm with peace of mind without fear of being kidnapped by bandits. An old man said excitedly: "The general is a good man!" Not only did he exterminate the Denglai bandits. If we people can't survive anymore, we can go to him. The general will give us cattle and seeds. ”
"Huh~! Isn't that what the government gave? When did it become a Denlei guerrilla? Qian Zhiyi asked in surprise.
"How can those officials pay for it! It's not enough for them to get promoted and get rich. It's all money from the Shogun. The old man had a sneer on his face.
"So, this Denglai guerrilla has a lot of money?" Qian Zhiyi asked with bright eyes, and suddenly thought that Wu Anbang was plotting against the Zhao family's wealth, so he was cut down by the Zhao family.
Dare to call out the general army, which can be described as bold. What if he is chopped?
As soon as she thought of this, Qian Zhiyi immediately shook her head and waved away that thought. He is the prison army appointed by the saint, so no matter how bold the Zhao family is, they don't dare to do anything to him!
"I don't know this old man, but the general has spread porridge sheds in Denglai and other places, and many people relied on those porridge sheds to survive last winter!"
……
Qian Zhiyi entered the territory of Dengzhou, when he was about to arrive in Huang County. However, I saw a different scene from what I had seen before, many homeless people were building houses on the plains, and I kept seeing people like stewards arranging during the period, looking like they were waiting to be rebuilt.
After asking, I learned that this was the place where the Denglai guerrillas arranged for the displaced people to settle down.
Originally, I thought that when Yushi came, the Denglai guerrillas would inevitably send a large number of people to pick him up.
As a result, when they arrived in Huang County, only Tang Xianming, the magistrate of the county, was there with a few officials to greet him, and the others didn't even see a fart.
Outrageous!
How unreasonable!
Qian Zhiyi was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, and she wanted to get angry and had nowhere to go.
"Does Lord Yushi know the way to Zhaojiabao? Do you need to send someone to lead the way? Tang Xianming was also lukewarm to this imperial history, and he didn't even mean to lead the way in person.
At this time, Tang Xianming can be said to be firmly standing by Zhao Yan's side, Zhao Yan is engaged in reclamation in this Huang County, and promised him that there will be no less Tian Fu, but the additional Tian Fu will not be given, and everything will be done according to the imperial court system.
It is conceivable that when production resumes in Huangxian County next year, there will be more tax and silver that can be collected. After the Kong Youde Rebellion, this Dengzhou directly changed from the middle government to the prefecture. was sent to this Huang County as the magistrate, it can be said that he has been poured mold for eight lifetimes, but he didn't expect it to come to work at this time.
Therefore, Tang Xianming was very cooperative with the reclamation matter, and those ownerless lands in Huang County directly gave Zhao Yan a new title deed and stamped it with the official seal. Zhao Yan also got him 10,000 acres of land, and the agricultural materials for reclamation were all produced by Zhao Yan, and the income of this 10,000 acres of land belonged to Tang Xianming.
Tang Xianming came into contact with Zhao Yan and found that this martial artist was very easy to get along with, as long as he cooperated, silver was indispensable. When you have the money next year, you can attack the prefect.
Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't send anyone to greet this Denglai Imperial History, his attitude also became lukewarm. Anyway, this guy is a prisoner, and he didn't send exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so he can't cure him.
――――
Maybe there will be four more today~!
