But the false words and frightens of the soldiers of the three guards could not scare everyone, and there was a bold sneer: "Look, look, you are standing in such a discipline, it must be strictly controlled by the chief master, you dare to come and tear our mouths, the chief is still not ......" As he spoke, the man stretched out his right hand to make a palm shape and gestured on his neck.

It really made the villagers right, before getting off the boat, the officers of each team repeatedly ordered that they must strictly abide by military discipline and not harass the local people, and violators will not be pardoned immediately. The soldiers of the Three Guards blushed, but they really didn't dare to take half a step out of the team. Suddenly, someone whispered, "Silence, silence... General Zhang is here......"

After hearing this, the soldiers really didn't dare to say anything more, seeing that the officers and soldiers were stunned, and there were bursts of laughter among the lively villagers. General Zhang refers to Zhang Shishi, who is now the military discipline picket of the entire Three Guards Army, and has been disposed of by him countless soldiers since he went south, so that he has changed color when he hears General Zhang's voice in the army.

Zhang Shi was dressed in cloth armor without a helmet, and a dark red scar on the left side of his face from the lower eyelid to the lower jaw was shocking, and the villagers did not dare to come out when they saw the fierce general and the old man frightening the officers and soldiers, and they also did not dare to ridicule the soldiers of the Three Guards without recklessness. Zhang Shi turned around the outer edge of the phalanx with a straight face, and walked back step by step, and no one in the military formation dared to speak out privately, no matter how the people and villagers laughed, no one dared to reply again.

This scene fell in Li Xin's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh. What he lamented was not that Zhang Shi was very strict in governing the army, but that the people of Jiangnan had not experienced war for more than 100 years, and in the face of such a battle array and the soldiers who had survived a hundred battles, they did not have the slightest fear. From a glimpse of the whole leopard, it can be seen that the people in the rich land south of the Yangtze River are still immersed in a peaceful world, completely ignorant of the suffering of the war between the Central Plains and the north, and the people are struggling to make a living. In the newspaper the day before yesterday, Li Xin was depressed to find that Zhang Xianzhong had entered Sichuan, and seven or eight out of ten officials in Sichuan had been killed, and perhaps the slaughter of Sichuan had already taken place in the past two years.

Now, the last pure land of the entire Ming Dynasty is only left in the south of the Yangtze River.

With the arrival of the large ships transporting troops, many large ships that had to dock at the wharf were stranded in the heart of the river, and the wooden sails in the center of the river covered the sky and the sun as time passed. The people of Jiangnan had never seen such a situation, and more and more people gathered to watch the excitement, and Lu Jiu, who had been following Li Xin's left and right, began to worry.

"Brother Thirteen, the people are gathering more and more, in case something goes wrong, ...... under the crowd of trampling"

These words reminded Li Xin, "Li Shuangcai, take a team of men and horses to disperse the people." Thinking about it, he explained: "Pay attention to restraint, don't hurt the local villagers..."

Li Xin turned his head and asked Lu Jiu again, "Have you come back from the person sent to negotiate with Longtan County?" ”

Lu Jiu shook his head, Li Xin looked at the river and thought about his thoughts, he led the three guards to land in Longtan County, which was more than ten miles away from Nanjing City, in order not to disturb the people of Nanjing. I didn't expect that there were so many people in Longtan County.

But after a while, suddenly a personal soldier came to report, "General Yu, Sun Butang has sent someone..."

"Oh? Please..."

This Sun Butang refers to Sun Chengzong's second son. Previously, Li Xin sent his own soldiers to contact Sun Ji early in the morning, hoping that he could choose a suitable station for the Three Guards near Nanjing, and at the same time coordinate and solve the problem of grain and grass. But he didn't expect Sun Jiao's reaction to be so fast, and he sent someone in less than a day.

Sun Ji sent one of his staff, about forty years old, with a white face and a long body, and after seeing Li Xin, he bowed deeply to the ground, "I have seen the Marquis of Zhenyu in Xia Jing Fengwu..."

Li Xin was most annoyed by this red tape of meeting and exchanging pleasantries, so he bluntly asked Sun Ji what he planned. That Jing Fengwu suddenly hesitated for a while, and his brows were twisted, which made Li Xinxin, and sure enough, he said slowly: "The town captive Hou Rongyu, the ministry is entangled in miscellaneous matters, and he can't come to greet him in person, so I sent a special dispatch to inform you in the future, and your army can rest and wait for resettlement in Longtan." ”

This sentence is not true, neither the name has been determined, nor the issue of the allocation of grain and grass has been raised, this is not Sun Jiao's style of acting. Under Li Xin's repeated questioning, Jing Fengwu really couldn't stand it, so he confessed it.

I saw that he sighed first, and then he said: "I don't hide it from the Marquis of Zhenju, I am afraid that you have heard a lot about the situation of Sun Butang in Nanjing, but you have heard a lot in Beijing, and you are really pulled by the ghosts, and you can't be happy with your words and deeds, and now, and now the Ministry of Tang is still counting on the Marquis of Zhenju to support the majesty of this governor for him..."

Li Xin's heart was cold when he heard this, he only heard that Sun Ji was constrained by all sides in Nanzhili, but he never thought that it would be such a coward, only to hear that Jing Fengwu said again: "When the next came, the ministry explained that the Zhenyu Marquis was wise and wise, and there must be a way to deal with it, and he was sent by the Zhenyu Marquis in the next Qiē." ”

After a long time, Sun Jian was also waiting for Li Xin to go south to get rice to cook...

Li Xin looked at Jing Fengwu, who was looking forward to it in front of him, and smiled bitterly in his heart, the reason why he always had a way to deal with it in the past was because whether it was Shanxi or Datong, they were all places that had been broken, and every one was to start anew, and it was natural to organize the people to develop production. However, the situation in Jiangnan is very different, every qiē here has been running on the original track for more than 200 years, almost never experienced war, and there is a harmonious scene up and down.

It is really confusing to have a thousand clues, and Li Xin is not good at telling these facts one by one, so he had to say perfunctorily, "Mr. Hardship, all the troops such as Yiqiē have landed on the shore, and they have made representations with the local county government in Longtan, and then they will take care of this matter." ”

After Jing Fengwu heard this, as if he had suddenly realized, he took out a fire paint official document from his arms and handed it to Li Xin respectfully.

"This is the text of the ministry, and the marquis of the town can negotiate with the magistrate of Longtan from here..."

Li Xin took the official document, and said in his heart that Sun Ji had finally done something meaningful. Seeing the small wharf, it was difficult to unload the three guards ashore for a while, Li Xin had to talk patiently with Jing Fengwu, the first thing he wanted to understand was Sun Jiao's southward trip, what step had he progressed to the case between Zhejiang City Bosi and Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.

This is asking what Jing Fengwu is good at, although Sun Ji failed to investigate this one by one, but the trick is to understand a lot of inside information that he didn't know much before.

"Speaking of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau since the Apocalypse Dynasty withdrew the internal bureau of the errand, a qiē weaving and dyeing has been undertaken by the external bureau, so that a group of officials in Nanjing are up and down, now they are a monolith, no matter what the ministry does, it is difficult to shake the tip of the iceberg."

Li Xin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is just a textile printing and dyeing factory, how can the officials from Nanjing up and down gather into an iron plate? Hearing Li Xin's doubts, Jing Fengwu actually smiled bitterly, the Marquis of Zhenyu obviously didn't know much about the benefits of Jiangnan weaving and dyeing, so he told the reason:

"Since the beginning of Hongwu, I have set up two internal and external bureaus in Jiangnan for weaving and dyeing, and the internal bureau is directly supervised by the 24 yamen. The external bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. During the Jiajing Wanli Dynasty, the internal situation was the mainstay, and the external situation was virtually nonexistent. The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was supervised by the Zhongguan sent by the palace, and the profits were all released by the Zhongguan to the Ouchi. After the Chongzhen Dynasty, now suffering from the participation of the central officials in the local tax exploitation is huge, so all the foreign supervisors will be abolished, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau will be assigned to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry of the Dushui Qing Division, so that the Nanjing Ministry of Industry or a large source of wealth, is actually compared to the Nanjing Ministry of Household has a faint pressure on the posture. ”

Listening to Jing Fengwu talk about this, Li Xin was even more strange, and he only pointed out the ins and outs of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, which used to be managed by eunuchs, and the money was sent directly to the emperor's treasury. Now that it is under the local treasury, it stands to reason that there should be a certain increase in the tax revenue of the imperial court.

But seeing Jing Fengwu paused, he continued: "Don't be surprised, you can know that the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau weaves and dyes hundreds of thousands of silk horses a year, and sells them to Westerners for millions of silver, and my annual income from land tax in the Ming Dynasty is only like this......"

Jing Fengwu's words shocked Li Xin, he never imagined that the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau could get millions of taels of silver a year by selling silk, no wonder Sun Ji was ordered to go south and returned in Nanjing.

"Originally, the imperial court's system was also very complete, and it would never make these millions of taels of silver a bad debt." Jing Fengwu seemed to be both distressed and a little puzzled by this. Although the Ministry of Industry has the silk woven and dyed by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the sale is not under the control of the Ministry of Industry. Although the Nanjing Ministry of Industry has the name of 'bamboo and wood drawing', it can draw a sum of money from the tax, but it is a drop in the bucket after all. But these good scriptures are all crooked as soon as people read them. The Zhejiang City Department and the Nanjing Ministry of Industry colluded vertically and horizontally, and a number of officials worked together to hand over the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of these millions of years of toss to the state treasury. ”

Hearing this, Li Xin was even more shocked, and said that the world was as black as a crow, and corrupt officials were all over the world, which was by no means alarmist. The Ming Dynasty has reached such a point now, almost no officials are not greedy, and the officials of the local prefectures and counties are making small troubles compared with these big silverfish who dare to openly embezzle public funds, which is simply madness.

But at the same time, Li Xin also smelled the smell of opportunity. Jing Fengwu seemed to be still immersed in heartache after speaking, and he couldn't recover his calm for a long time, and Li Xin was also very happy, and the two of them were silent together. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd of people who were watching the bustle outside, followed by a miserable howl of grabbing the sky and the earth, and the people immediately scattered and fled.
