Chapter 273: Changing the Land and Returning to the Stream
In the evening, the night market in Guiyang City begins to be lively.
The night of Daming was originally quiet, but Guiyang was surrounded by rebels for nearly a month, and now it has finally been rescued, and the people's excited mood is difficult to calm down, and the toss during the day is not enough, so let's carnival at night.
Seeing that the people were like this, Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong also relaxed the curfew and let them celebrate for a few days.
The night in Guiyang is prosperous and peaceful, but it is not without deserted places, such as the school field in the center of the city. The school yard was deserted, but there were a lot of people outside, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
Amid a burst of cheers, a wide four-wheeled carriage drove from a distance, and the carriage made its way through the crowd to the innermost part of the school yard.
A group of people jumped out of the carriage, some untying the horses from the carriage, some disassembling the side panels of the carriage, and in a few moments a stage appeared in front of everyone.
When the actors were preparing, Zhu Youcheng and King Xin appeared, and they led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Guiyang City to the school grounds. The Taishi chair and stool had already been placed in the school yard, and everyone found a place to sit down.
After everyone sat down, there was a circle of brocade guards behind them, which now served as a human wall. This performance of "The White-Haired Girl" is for the people, as long as there are β β vacancies in the school field, everyone can come in to watch, in case someone comes to make trouble, these Guiyang giants are not very dangerous?
After a while, the people also entered. However, there were too many audiences who wanted to watch the performance, and it was impossible to let them in one by one, so Jin Yiwei saw that the school was almost full, so he blocked the entrance.
The people outside still refused to go, hoping that whoever came out would be able to go in. However, who is willing to come out if they can see a new play? In fact, you may not be able to see clearly when you enter it. I can understand that the school yard is so big, and there is no modern amplification equipment, and the people standing in the back are just joining in the fun.
Before the play began, the officials began to chat in small voices.
Zhu Xieyuan looked at Zhu Youcheng's special carriage stage and exclaimed: "Zhuang Yuanlang is really thoughtful." This carriage is multi-purpose, usually can be loaded with baggage, but now it can be used as a stage. β
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand again and again and said: "I don't dare to plunder the beauty of people, this four-wheeled carriage is the emperor's invention." Without this four-wheeled carriage, no matter how much I had the most wonderful ideas, I would not have been able to achieve it. β
Zhu Xieyuan had never studied science and engineering, so he didn't understand the mystery, and said: "It's just two wheels for the carriage." It's so simple, do you still need the emperor to come out? β
Zhu Youcheng didn't want to entangle with him on this issue, so he smiled faintly and said, "Master Zhu, let's go and dig out An Bangyan's lair in a few days, okay?" β
"This ...... This Rong Benguan will think about it again......"
"Lord Zhu, what else are you thinking about? You have also seen how the Yi people are willing to join the big family of the Ming Dynasty, and they are full of internal contradictions. As long as you dare to fight, you will definitely win. We are taking advantage of the opportunity for them to rebel now. In one fell swoop, I pulled out the Tusi entrenched in Guizhou and Sichuan, and replaced it with a liuguan, so that the rebellion in Guizhou was calmed down, and you became the governor of the four provinces, and I could also go back to Beijing to make a mission. β
"It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build." Zhu Xieyuan sighed. "Now that there is a shortage of officials everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, where are the displaced officials transferred from? Who wants to come to Guizhou to be a liuguan? Moreover, how to maintain the safety of the rogue officials? β
"I've thought about this a long time ago." Zhu Youcheng squeezed an official next to Zhu Xieyuan away, sat down, and said. "I plan to use Guizhou people to manage Guizhou's affairs."
"I want to hear about it."
"Guizhou's literary style is not prosperous, and there are few jinshi, but there are many talents, and the liuguan falls on them. We have a Ming rule that people can be officials, but Xiucai has no chance to be officials. If you tell Xiucai in Guizhou to give them officials, do you think they are willing to be this low-level official? β
"This violates the country's employment law, will anyone impeach us?"
"It's okay, have you forgotten what I did?" Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng straightened his chest and said complacently, "I am the secretary of the Daming School of Administration, and I can recruit these talents into the Daming School of Administration, and I will train in Guiyang, and the training time will be as long as a ...... Sky. Hehe, the official's big seal can be carried with him, and the graduation certificate of the Daming School of Administration can be issued in batches. β
Zhu Xieyuan was a little dumbfounded, this Zhu Youcheng really regarded the Daming School of Administration as his backyard, and also issued graduation certificates in batches, he was really fierce, the first fierce man in Daming.
Zhu Youcheng continued: "Anyway, the task of the officials in recent years is not heavy, the first is to change the name of the Yiren to the name of the Ming Dynasty to enhance their centripetal force towards the Ming Dynasty; The second is to educate the next generation of Yi people and spread the light of civilization to Yi Zhai Yi Village. Xiucai is familiar with poetry, and they can still do this kind of thing. As for the liuguan's fortune, there is no need to worry. Anyway, the imperial court never got taxes from the hands of Tusi, so they let the officials collect taxes, and the taxes collected were not paid, and they were directly distributed as money. β
Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a while and said, "Although there are some words in your words that I don't know very well, like 'centripetal force' and the like, I think your construction is still very powerful. However, I believe that the tax can be collected by the officials, but it cannot be issued directly, and it must be uniformly dispatched by the Guizhou Political Envoy. Because, first, it is stipulated by the Ming system that taxes are allocated by higher-level organs, and second, if the amount of taxes collected is collected and how much is paid, it will inevitably lead to arbitrary collection and expropriation by officials, and it is easy to provoke popular uprisings. β
Zhu Youcheng nodded, Zhu Xieyuan is really an official who is good at government affairs, and he thinks more comprehensively than him.
Zhu Xieyuan then asked: "Then what about the safety of the liuguan?" β
Zhu Youcheng said: "There are more than 40,000 captives outside, all of them are Yiren. When the time comes, these people will be divided into several squads, and they will be stationed in the territory of the original Tusi, and as long as anyone dares to make a move, or even crooked his mouth, let him taste the punishment of justice. Fourteen thousand captives were able to strike a blow at the Yiren rebels after a short period of ideological transformation. If the ideological transformation takes a longer time, he is definitely the most loyal soldier to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why I sent the drama to the camp of the Ming Volunteer Army and built the rent collection courtyard was to prepare for this step. β
Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng asked eagerly: "Lord Zhu, how is it, can you fight now?" β
Zhu Xieyuan nodded, and said sternly: "This official is indeed moved by what you said...... But wait, this matter has to be considered in the long run. β
"You look forward and backward like this, when will you be able to put down the rebels?"
"You're right, and I accept it with humility. However, this matter has to be considered in the long run. β
"You!"
"Well, I see, this matter has to be discussed in the long run."
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, this matter has to be considered in the long run."
Zhu Youcheng left, and heard a voice from behind, "This matter must be considered in the long run". He finally determined that Zhu Xieyuan was definitely the thirteenth person, and this one was a repeater, and it was bad.
When he was upset, he heard a sharp voice say, "Master Zhu, sit here, sit here." β
Zhu Youcheng turned his head to look, but it was Tu Wenfu, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal.
Zhu Youcheng squeezed away another official and sat down next to Tu Wenfu.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw an official in a military attachΓ© uniform looking at him sadly and angrily.
"What's wrong? Over there just now, I squeezed you too? β
The man nodded and said, "Although this official is a military attachΓ©, he is also dignified, and it is not good for you to always rob me of my position." β
Zhu Youcheng apologized again and again and said, "Okay, okay, next time I promise not to squeeze your position." β
The man knew that Zhu Youcheng was the right attendant of the military department and his top boss, so he stomped his foot and left.
Tu Wenfu said: "Zhuangyuanlang is a ceremony, if it is our family, it will be squeezed, what a big deal." In the morning, I had something to tell you, but I met the rebels coming, but I didn't say it. Father-in-law Wei wants me to sue you, he has already sent Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the military department, to Nanjing to retire. β
"Who is Wang Yongguang, he was driven away, what does it have to do with me?"
"Zhuang Yuanlang is really open-minded," Tu Wenfu patted his ass slightly, "Wang Yongguang is the secretary of the military department who questioned the number of enemies you killed at that time, and he is Yuan Chonghuan's backstage." β
"Oh." Zhu Youcheng finally remembered that person, but he was more concerned about Yuan Chonghuan, so he asked, "What reward did the emperor give Yuan Chonghuan?" β
"The emperor didn't want to give Yuan Chonghuan any reward, but everyone in the world was deceived by this dog thief, so he had to reward him, so he was promoted from the fourth grade soldier to the governor of Liaodong, the place of governance is in Shenyang, and the land is in Liaodong, which is a great official." Tu Wenfu laughed wickedly, "The reward is also very rich, with 12 taels of silver (the amount of silver reward is a historical fact, I can't remember where I found it)." β
What the? 12 taels of silver, not 12 silver yuan? The Emperor of the Apocalypse is really naughty.
Although one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a silver dollar, but now that the silver has been withdrawn from the circulation market, Yuan Chonghuan wants to use this reward silver to first find a bank to exchange it into a silver dollar. Seeing the power of attorney and the generous bounty, should he be disappointed, or is he very disappointed? (To be continued......)
