Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Stubborn Disease of the Southeast

PS: See you tomorrow, everyone!

Leaving Lu Yijian's room, Ye Heng turned his head and went to meet Fan Zhongyan on the way.

And Lu Yijian's wing room is directly opposite, the location is behind the Hangzhou Mansion, and Lu Yijian's wing room is guarded by soldiers outside, Lu Yijian's wing room has only two guards in front of it.

But you can't underestimate these two guards, they are the same as Fan Hu are heroes who respect Fan Zhongyan very much, although this is said to be ancient, there are rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes here are different from the rivers and lakes in martial arts novels, the rivers and lakes here refer to the meaning of the five lakes and the four seas, and Fan Hu and their guards are just much stronger than ordinary people, and they will also have some fists and feet to strengthen the body, but that's all, and the eaves and walls written in the novel are far from one enemy and one hundred enemies.

Ye Heng once asked Fan Hu, because once he saw Fan Hu and Hu Buxiu in the courtyard of his home practicing martial arts, so he was very curious to go up and ask for advice, and he also went up very gossip to ask Fan Hu if he could go up and down, but he was naturally teased by Lu Hongsleeve.

Later, Ye Heng also understood that although Fan Hu was at stake, Hu Buxiu was not his opponent at all, but Fan Hu was also a human being, but his strength was very large, his skills were also agile, and his reaction was faster than others, and that's it.

Ye Heng also asked Fan Hu: "Brother Fan, you said that you were all men who roamed the rivers and lakes, and you didn't have the surname Fan in the first place, why did you even have a surname later?" ”

Fan Hu replied: "Our brothers are indeed reckless, at that time we were determined to do chivalrous righteousness together, but later provoked a squire bully, and later got rescued by Fan Zhizhou, Fan Zhizhou is an upright and upright person, our brothers should have the surname in order to follow him......"

All right. In the final analysis, it is Fan Zhongyan's charm.

The ancients' thoughts are relatively simple, and their ideas are also very special, once they identify something or a certain person, they will often do their best to put their hearts in their hearts. In this year, there are really not many officials like Fan Zhongyan who are not selfish and noble, which is why Fan Zhongyan is loved by the people!

Thinking of this, Ye Heng couldn't help but be stunned outside Fan Zhongyan's wing, he didn't know why in his mind, and suddenly remembered what Li Shimin said: Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat!

A generation of Ming Jun can still see through it, and Li Shimin can still have the idea that the people are higher than Sheji, and Sheji is higher than the king, which is enough to show his greatness!

People, it's really important!

Just when Ye Heng was out of his mind. Fan Zhongyan saw Ye Heng when he passed by the window, so he asked loudly, "Hold on, why don't you come in since you're here?" ”

"Oh......"

Ye Heng, who came back to his senses, agreed, and then entered the house.

In the room, Ye Heng greeted Fan Zhongyan for a while, and then Fan Zhongyan asked, "Why did you come here early in the morning, could something have happened?" ”

Ye Heng shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal......

"Oh!"

Fan Zhongyan seemed to remember something, so he asked Ye Heng: "This time I am entangled in official business. I have never had the opportunity to guide you in studying the scriptures, but I heard that you read in your study in your spare time. I guess with your intellect, there should be nothing that can stump you! Well, if you don't understand something, just come and ask me. ”

"Thank you!"

Ye Heng thanked him, and then said to Fan Zhongyan: "Looking at the teacher's appearance, it seems that he didn't sleep well last night, hehe...... Now the teacher is also the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he is in charge of the military power of Zhejiang East Road. I'm afraid that there are places to work, right? ”

"Not bad!"

Fan Zhongyan sighed, and then he took out some account books and looked at them, and said to Ye Heng: "I have checked a lot in recent days, not only in Hangzhou, but even in Suzhou. Every year, the tax money and grain in Suzhou and Hangzhou, one by one, are disorganized......"

As he spoke, Fan Zhongyan suddenly pointed to a place and said to Ye Heng: "Look here: in March of the first year, 3,100 stones of grain were allocated to fill the warehouse...... The year of Ji is last year, and this last year's account cannot be found now. This grain was transferred from the grain depot of Hangzhou Prefecture, 3,100 stones, not too much, not too much, but what day of March, and who handled it, and ...... Where does all the food end up? ”

A series of questions, there was no answer at all, Fan Zhongyan was obviously a little distracted by this audit matter, he threw the account book aside, and then rubbed his temples!

Ye Heng persuaded Fan Zhongyan: "Teacher, this matter of checking accounts can still be explained to the people below!" ”

"You think I don't want to?"

Fan Zhong drowned his anger and said: "But with such an account book, even I can't find anything, let alone them?" Alas, the officialdom of eastern Zhejiang doesn't know what kind of people are raised! ”

"Moth!"

Ye Heng said two words succinctly.

Fan Zhongyan obviously didn't expect Ye Heng to speak so directly and in one sentence!

"Teacher!"

Ye Heng continued: "Actually, the student was thinking about this problem when he was outside the door just now, to be honest, although the student was born in Changzhou, he grew up in Lin'an. Adjacent to Hangzhou, Lin'an is also a prosperous place, but who can believe that it is such a prosperous place, and there is a market for poor people to buy and sell people, and such a market can be said to be everywhere in the entire southeast! Also, the salt officials and the thieves in Chongde are rampant, and the water bandits on the canal are haunting, all of which reflect the real situation in eastern Zhejiang, especially around Suzhou and Hangzhou, from the side. ”

"Hmm!"

Fan Zhongyan nodded, and then said to Ye Heng: "I haven't seen what you said, it seems that some people don't want me to see it!" You go on. ”

"Not bad!"

Lu Yijian's voice suddenly came from the door, I don't know when he also came, and he had a straight face at this time, and his appearance was a little serious, he said to Ye Heng: "If you keep talking, I want to see what the chaos in the southeast has become!" ”

Then it became like Ye Heng was making a work report to Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan, Ye Heng stood in front of them, while stating what he had seen and heard in Yanguan and Haining: "Who can believe that half of the water bandits on the canal are simply people pretending to be in order to make a living?" I have seen with my own eyes that the people of a village, the men are no different from ordinary people when they are free, but when it comes to action, they immediately become fierce one by one, on the canal, they hijack boats to kill people and cross goods, and some people even don't even want a fig leaf, build a water village and then claim the king and hegemony......"

"You're talking about the Salt Gang, right?"

Fan Zhongyan frowned, and then said: "Actually, this time this time the official came to the southeast, and he had the idea of uprooting this henchman!" ”

Lu Yijian immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Fan Zhizhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the main sources of taxes for our dynasty, if there is chaos here, it will move the country!" ”

"Actually, the Yanguan and Chongde areas are fine!"

Ye Heng continued: "The most helpless thing is Haining!" I believe that Lu Xianggong and the teacher also had a headache for this place, right? ”

Fan Zhongyan didn't feel anything, he asked, "What's wrong with this Haining?" ”

"Alas!"

Lu Yijian sighed, and then explained to Fan Zhongyan: "Fan Zhizhou, you don't know, this Haining is indeed a headache, even now, no one in Haining County wants to go!" ”

"You mean...... Haining County has never had a county order? ”

Fan Zhongyan's brows furrowed, and then asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Three years dead four magistrates ......"

Lu Yijian looked at Fan Zhongyan and asked, "Who else do you say dares to go?" ”

Ye Heng found the right time to interject and said: "Yes, the four magistrates of the county all died unexpectedly, but none of them can explain clearly......

"Because of this, the official has been trying to figure out a way all these years, but ......"

Lu Yijian shook his head, and then said to Ye Heng and Fan Zhongyan: "No matter who the imperial court sent, they all found nothing, and they couldn't find anything, but they all came back with a bunch of documents from the people asking for tax exemption, and the officials of Haining County also urged the imperial court to send the county magistrate at the same time, and also stated that they had either suffered natural disasters or encountered man-made disasters, and they also asked for tax exemption!" ”

"Haining is located between Suzhou and Hangzhou......"

Fan Zhongyan asked, "Then what is under the jurisdiction of that government?" ”

"It's also a debate about this......

Lu Yijian said: "But now it's okay, whether it's Suzhou or Hangzhou, isn't it all under the jurisdiction of Fan Zhizhou?" ”

After saying that, Lu Yijian laughed, and then actually shouted to Fan Zhongyan: "Brother Xiwen! ”

Fan Zhongyan immediately understood, and he said to Lu Yijian: "You don't have to be like this, besides, as the head of the center, how dare this official be called like this?" You just want to push this Haining County to me, don't you? ”

Lu Yijian smiled, he meant this, but this time it wasn't that he deliberately stumbled Fan Zhongyan, it was really that he had no way to take this Haining County!

So Lu Yi said to Fan Zhongyan: "If Brother Xiwen can promise to get rid of the stubborn disease in Haining County, it will really be a hardship in the southeast and a blessing for the people!" ”

buttoned two high hats for Fan Zhongyan to wear, Lu Yijian knew that with Fan Zhongyan's personality, as long as it was about the people, he would not shirk it no matter what.

Sure enough, Fan Zhongyan didn't think about it and said: "I don't need you to say this high-sounding word, since Haining County is now governed by this official, then this official naturally has the responsibility and obligation to govern this place well!" ”

"Then the foolish brother is waiting for the good news of Brother Xiwen!"

Lu Yijian laughed, but Ye Heng on the side frowned, not knowing what he was thinking! (To be continued......)
