The ceremony of Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, donating 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stone of grain, was very grand, and Zhu Cunshu's initiative also made many officials in the province, government, prefecture and county understand what, for a time many officials began to donate money and grain, although the amount of each person is not very much, but the small amount becomes more, in just half a month, the governor Yamen received the donated money and grain, reaching 800,000 taels of silver, and more than 20,000 stone grain.

Collecting the money and grain confiscated earlier, the governor yamen was finally able to provide large-scale relief to the people, and it was at this time that the relief of 200,000 taels of silver from the imperial court also arrived in Shaanxi.

After the evidence was confirmed, except for the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture and Tongzhi, who were escorted to the capital, the rest of the officials were all imprisoned in the prison of the governor's yamen, waiting for the edict from the criminal department.

Killing Qian Gongzi and severely punishing the ruffians made most of the officials feel at ease, after all, these people are inextricably linked with the officials, and only when they are all dealt with can the officials be regarded as truly safe, such a move also means that the governor is not ready to be held accountable on a large scale.

In the face of a completely different officialdom situation, Zheng Xunrui couldn't be happy, all the measures taken were only temporary, it was impossible to solve the fundamental problem, always thinking about officials to raise donations, that was also unrealistic, the most fundamental solution is to vigorously develop commerce and trade, collect trade taxes, so that the government's income can increase, and only then can it really take out the money to do things.

It's a pity that Zheng Xunrui only has such an idea, and he can't do it for the time being, after all, the pressure on doing so is too great, and I am afraid that there will be a disturbance in the court, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Zhejiang Party, they all safeguard the interests of scholars and businessmen, and if you want to do such a thing, you need to have enough strength and power.

There is one more thing, that is, Zheng Xunrui must have offended the former governor and the current right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Gan Xuekuo, but he doesn't care, if he doesn't ruthlessly rectify the officialdom in Shaanxi, then he can't do anything.

After learning about the many things that happened in Xi'an, the capital city, all parts of Shaanxi became much more honest.

When the money and grain for relief of the people arrived at the yamen of Fuzhou County, the governor yamen also sent personnel to conduct special inspections, and the inspection of this scale was not to investigate and punish the corrupt officials in the rest of the prefectures and counties, but to urge the money and grain to be truly implemented on the heads of the people.

If the money and grain are allocated to the yamen of Fuzhou County, the governor of the yamen will be able to clearly put forward the requirements, and if it is found that there are still a large number of displaced people in Fuzhou County during the inspection, then the officials at all levels will be investigated and impeached.

After Zheng Xunrui was busy for a while, his attention focused on Zheng Jiajun, the army he created with his own hands was the foundation of his foothold, and he could not make any mistakes. As for the many matters of the governor's yamen, most of them were handed over to Xu Wanghua and the officials of the governor's yamen.

Cao Chi came to visit, which was beyond Zheng Xunrui's expectations.

There are not many people in Shaanxi, and there are even fewer Jinshi, after all, the first problem faced by everyone here is how to survive the catastrophe, plus the scholars in the north, the level is not as good as that in the south.

Cao Chi is a student of Pingliang Mansion, and he is a gifted student, and he receives Lu rice from the government every month, such a student is respected in Shaanxi, and his status is also very good, although he cannot enter the ranks of scholars, but there is no doubt about becoming a squire.

If it weren't for being wrongfully imprisoned, Cao Chi could have lived comfortably at home, of course, Cao Chi was fateful, if it weren't for Zheng Xunrui coming to Shaanxi and serving as governor, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out of death row.

The porter reported the news of Cao Chi's visit, Zheng Xunrui was carefully looking at the palace newspaper, especially the newspaper about the extermination of the Liukou, more than two months have passed, Hong Chengchou has already left Datong, and took Cao Wenzhao and others into Shanxi, Henan and other places to exterminate the Liukou, so far the situation is not bad.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong could not gain a foothold in Shanxi, Shanxi suffered a huge famine, they could not raise the grain and grass needed by the army, so they returned to the south to develop, after returning to Henan, they broke through in the direction of Huguang, in a vain attempt to raise grain and grass in the south, but Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao and others did not relax the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, and their armies were concentrated in Shanxi and Henan.

Lao Huihui, who has entered Sichuan, is also having a hard time, they encountered a strong enemy, that is, Shaobao, the Chinese army governor of the Zuo Du, Zhendong General Qin Liangyu under the command of the white pole soldiers, under the blow of the white pole soldiers, they were forced to leave Sichuan, return to Henan, in a vain attempt to meet with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and then enter the territory of Huguang.

Overall, the rogue is already at the end of his rope.

Cao Chi entered the wing, saw Zheng Xunrui, and immediately knelt down.

"Cao Chi, a member of Pingliang Mansion, visited the governor."

The students don't have to kneel when they see the magistrate and the governor, but when they see the governor, they still have to kneel, and if they have the identity of lifting people, they don't need to kneel.

Zheng Xunrui helped Cao Chi up.

Zheng Jinhong has investigated the situation of Cao Chi, when Cao Chi was young, he was sent by his parents to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, that is because Mr. Yin and Yang said that Cao Chi was destined to commit Tai Sui, and he must go to the temple to accumulate blessings and virtues, so as to avoid disasters, Cao Chi in Shaolin Temple, practiced martial arts for many years, until he was eighteen years old, he returned to his hometown to participate in the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and obtained the fame of the student.

If it weren't for the large-scale outcasts in Shaanxi, Cao Chi would have lived a good life in his hometown and started a family.

This is also the reason why Hong Xinyu noticed Cao Chi, strictly speaking, Cao Chi is a practitioner, and his kung fu is very good.

Such a person is what Zheng Xunrui needs, but Zheng Xunrui will not take the initiative to recruit, this time Cao Chi came to visit, Zheng Xunrui also decided to meet after thinking about it carefully.

Cao Chi's attitude was very humble, after a period of recuperation, his body was basically recovered, his face was bloody, and he looked very good.

"I made a special trip to visit the adults and thanked them for saving their lives, but I can't repay them in the next place."

"Cao Chi, don't say these words, you have been wronged and almost died, this is the fault of the government, and the official should do so."

"The adult is the blue sky in the eyes of the people, and many people in the north of the city have already enshrined the holy shrine of the adult, and they worship every day."

Zheng Xunrui smiled, he also knew these things, and the people's spontaneous measures were not easy for the governor to intervene.

"Cao Chi, you are a student of Pingliang Mansion, have you ever thought about participating in the township exam in two years."

"I still have to take the township test in Xia, but I don't have enough knowledge in Xia, and I participated in the township test twice, and I fell to Sun Shan."

Cao Chi is particularly humble in front of Zheng Xunrui, and there is another reason, that is, Zheng Xunrui is the champion of the palace examination, and he is Sanyuan and his younger brother, such a glory has a great impact among scholars.

"Well, it's also good to study hard, take the township exam, and seek greater fame."

"Thank you for your encouragement, and I will work hard."

After chatting for a while, Cao Chi seemed to have made up his mind, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"I have the courage to visit the adults this time, thinking that I can serve under the command of the adults, and I am shallow in my knowledge, so I shouldn't have made such a request."

Zheng Xunrui showed a smile on his face, he would not hesitate to recruit a scholar like Cao Chi who can read and martial arts, not to mention that he has the grace to save Cao Chi's life, Cao Chi is definitely loyal.

"It's good that you have such an idea, this official looks at it like this, you follow Mr. Xu's side to do things, Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable, you follow your side, just learn something."

Cao Chi was overjoyed, he made such a request, it should be very abrupt, he is the governor, I don't know how many capable people there are around him, he is just a student, nothing at all.

Cao Chi, who stood up, knelt down in front of Zheng Xunrui again.

"Your subordinates must be faithful and repay the grace of your lords."

Xu Wanghua soon came to the wing.

Cao Chi hurriedly saluted Xu Wanghua.

"Mr. Xu, I handed over Cao Chi to you, how to do things, what to do, you go and arrange, Cao Chi can be literate and martial, very good, you must cultivate carefully."

When he left the wing, Cao Chi was very grateful, and being able to do things in the governor's yamen showed that his identity was not ordinary, and he was following Xu Wanghua's side, which indicated that he could become Zheng Xunrui's henchman.

Cao Chi is not so pedantic, he has practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple for many years, and his character is mostly straightforward.

After Xu Wanghua left with Cao Chi, Zheng Xunrui continued to look at the newspaper on the table.

Regarding the matters of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui and others, he knows a little, Hong Chengchou led the army to exterminate the Liukou deployment, he is even more clear, it should be said that Hong Chengchou still has a good military talent, and the method of encirclement and suppression adopted is similar to that of him at the beginning, that is, he ordered the general troops from all over the country to stick to the pass, and the army brought from Datong was responsible for encircling and suppressing the Liukou.

It was precisely because of the right measures that the rogues were hit hard again.

Li Zicheng and others would never dare to enter Shaanxi, they all knew that Zheng Butcher served as the governor of Shaanxi, if they entered Shaanxi and encountered the encirclement and suppression of Zheng's army, it would be the fate of destruction, but in the face of Hong Chengchou's strong encirclement and suppression, their lives were not easy, and they could only be supported by hardship.

Zheng Xunrui's opinion is different from that of ordinary people, I don't know why, he always feels that it is impossible for Hong Chengchou to completely exterminate the rogue, as for the reasons for this, he doesn't want to analyze it too much
