Chapter 110: Shameless
"Tang Zhixian please get up, don't lose the civil and military etiquette."
In the second hall of Penglai Prefecture, Chen Xin helped up the Penglai Zhixian in front of him with both hands, and the Tang Zhixian was captured by the rebels when the city was broken, although there was a big man like Sun Yuanhua on top, but he was Penglai Zhixian County, and the guilt of losing the city and losing the land could not escape, and it was rare for Chen Xin to meet him in person, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Chen Dajin is a second-grade martial artist, and the lower officials are only seventh-grade counties, and the grades are different, how can the court etiquette be messed up, and the lower officials have always disdained to join the army with those pretentious and high-ranking scholars, and only admire Dajin for a general who holds Wu Hook and sweeps away the unevenness."
Chen Xin saw that he was quite sensible, smiled and asked him to sit down, then Tang Zhixian put on the appearance of a subordinate, sat in a corner, and didn't even dare to serve a tea......
"Tang Zhixian doesn't have to be polite." Chen Xin waved his hand to interrupt him, "Dengzhou is not safe, the city has been captured, and the official was ordered by the Lu Jian Army to recover in a bloody battle, but the whole city of Fufu was eroded, and the people were displaced and miserable, and the official did not cry when he saw it." Although this official is only a military position, it is said that he should not casually participate in the affairs of your superiors, but this matter has lost the city and land, and it is an insult to the face of the court. For such a big matter, there should be some big culprits, and this official will not help cover it up. ”
Tang Zhixian puffed and knelt down again, two lines of tears rolled down, he kowtowed without regard to decency, "Woo, the lower official is just a magistrate, then Sun Yuanhua ignored the dissuasion of General Zhang and insisted on letting the troops enter the city, and the lower official was also opposed." But, but the lower official is soft-spoken, then Sun Yuanhua doesn't listen to o, and the lower official wrongs o, woo woo......"
With the political consciousness of Zhixian Dajin, he has long understood that Sun Yuanhua has gone, and he also knows that Chen Xin and Sun Yuanhua do not deal with each other, and he doesn't even need the honorific title at this time, after the city is broken, his home is also swept by the rebels, several concubines and daughters were defiled by jiān, two of them died in the well, he remembered that he might be exterminated by his family, and almost wanted to scold Sun Dajin, who was involved in him. Maybe Jinyiwei's Tiqi is already on the way, and getting the Jingshi is a knife at the mouth of the vegetable market, and it may even be like the original Jiliao Governor Ling Chi, his wife and concubine and children are prostitutes, he can't help but feel sad and cry, until his face is full of tears.
Chen Xin didn't tell him to get up, and after he cried for a while, he sighed in his mouth, "Don't be like this Tang Dajin, you are guilty, but what you just said is also reasonable, there are still governors, governors, prefects in the city, as well as Denglai Dao and Liaohai Jian Jun Dao, you are naturally not the master of a county, but the court has its own law, and when Tang Zhixian arrives in Beijing, he will share it with the three divisions, and they must be able to understand." ”
Tang Zhixian sat on the ground and looked at Chen Xin with blank eyes.
"However, this official is familiar with Tang Zhixian at first sight, and he also thought of a way for Tang Zhixian not to go to the third division, if Tang Zhixian has merit when he recovers......"
Tang Zhixian seemed to have been hit by electricity, and he got up and hugged Chen Xin's legs with a grunt, and the hanging mouth on his chin was hung on Chen Xin's pants, "Ask Da Jin to save the whole family of Xia Guan, and repay Da Jin by being a cow and a horse after Xia Guan Rì." ”
Chen Xin saw that he had almost forced him, and called the adjutant behind him to help Tang Zhixian, "Tang Dajin, what do you say you are, when the city was broken, you sent your family to gather the righteous people, participated in the battle of Zhenhaimen, and made great contributions to the recovery of our army in Dengzhou, this official will naturally not fall in the Tang newspaper, and Lu Dajin will also be explained by this official." ”
Tang Zhixian's mouth opened wide, as if he was stunned, Chen Xin smiled and nodded at him, and Tang Zhixian reacted. He knocked his head three times in a row, and his forehead turned red. Of course, he knew that Chen Xin would not give him benefits in vain, and said to Chen Xin in a serious manner at the moment: "In the future, Chen Dajin will be the seat teacher of the lower officials, and the lower officials should treat the big entry with a teacher for the rest of his life. ”
"Tang Da Jin is serious, this official is a martial artist, how can he be the master of Da Jin. In fact, it is the same as Dajin, which is to relieve the worries of the court and seek blessings for the people. Speaking of the people, there happens to be a great good thing for the people, and there is a register here. Chen Xin tilted his head, the adjutant handed over a booklet, Tang Zhixian opened it and read it, they were all names, and many of them were used in the countryside.
He looked up at Chen Xin a little strangely, Chen Xin took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Can Tang Zhi County tell the official how much cultivated land is shared in Penglai County?" ”
Tang Zhixian still knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "Dajin Mingjian, most of Penglai is mountainous, with less than 500,000 mu of cultivated land, and there are still some poor fields on the mountains. ”
"So many people pay food taxes every year?"
"Da Ryi joked, the people who paid the grain tax were only in the early 200,000s."
Chen Xin nodded, "You all know the big families in the city, most of them were in chaos this time, and these entries in the booklet were bought with those big families for money before the war." Unexpectedly, those big families saw that the rebels were coming, and they wanted to make these bitter masters on the booklet, and now although those sellers are gone, the transaction still has to be done. I asked Tang Dajin to pass all those lands to the booklet, and to complete the title deeds within five rì. ”
"This ......" Tang Zhixian only then knew what Chen Xin wanted, that is, he wanted the fields of those big households that did not pay taxes, and he didn't know what it was, and he estimated that most of it was just a name, and he didn't even enter it at all, and the title deed was finally in Chen Xin's hands, who dared to ask clearly. He asked tentatively, "How much does it cost?" ”
"It's not how much the official wants, it's those people who bought 200,000 mu, and real money bought it, not even one acre. The official will be sent to assist you in this matter, and it will be done within five days. ”
After Chen Xin finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zhixian's blackened face and was secretly amused, and he said to Tang Zhixian again: "We don't have to tell lies, these fields are all asked for by the officials, but they are all for the resettlement of the people affected by the disaster this time." Tang Da entered the herdsman to guard the side, which was a good deed for tens of millions of people. ”
Tang Zhixian didn't believe that Chen Xin had such a bodhisattva heart at all, he just thought that Chen Xin wanted to be an old man, but his appearance was too ugly, he thought about it and said: "Yes, what Dajin said is, it's just ...... It's just that if the big households in the city still have income, the small ones are afraid that they will not be able to make up the number of acres. ”
Chen Xin smiled kindly: "The official thinks that there should be no more, if there is really still an entry, you can sue the official sent to assist you in entering, let him screen clearly, don't let you enter the fake." The official said that not a single acre can be missing. ”
Although it was the middle of winter, dense beads of sweat appeared on Tang Zhixian's forehead, and he understood what this screening meant.
Chen Xin said lightly: "Please also ask Tang Da to get involved in this matter, Dengzhou has fallen, and the emperor will be furious." In case the horses come too fast, the official can't stop them, and if you enter the Beizhen Fusi, you will be a Sven entry, and you may not be able to survive until the official will repay you. ”
Tang Zhixian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Xia Guan understands, understands." ”
"In addition to the great merit of Zhenhaimen, the official also heard that Tang Dajin's own family also suffered a military disaster, and there was a lot of property loss, but fortunately, the official's entry into the horse happened to recover the lost jewelry of Dajin, and the official under the county government lost it at home, and the official also found it, and after a while, Dajin went with the official's personal soldiers to get it back. However, the official's words are ahead, if there are still officials who dare to fatten themselves, don't blame the official for being polite. ”
After Chen Xin finished speaking, he gently picked up the teacup, Tang Zhixian understood that Chen Xin planned to let him swallow the jewels in the name of returning the bitter master, and the amount must be a lot. He kowtowed respectfully and stood up and said, "Xiaguan will go and handle this matter, and Dajin will definitely be handled within five days." ”
"This official repeats, it is for those people, they are also bitter masters, they were all bought with money before the rebellion, and the big entry is just anxious for the people."
Tang Zhixian secretly scolded Chen Xin for being shameless in his heart, but he understood his situation, not to mention the official position, even his life was in Chen Xin's hands, and Chen Xin didn't have to do it himself, even if Chen Xin asked him to get 500,000 yuan, he could only get it out.
However, Chen Xin's entry was not in vain, Tang Zhixian ruthlessly threw down the last knot, lowered his voice and said: "Chen Dajin, Xiaojin has a suggestion, Dengzhou land is barren, if you want to say that the land is good, you have to count the west of Laiyang, Laiyang cultivated land is more than one million mu, and you will have to trouble Dengzhou Zhizhou Dajin over there...... But the best land is still in Pingdu Prefecture, with more than 20 million acres of cultivated land, and I heard that Li Jiucheng went over there......"
Tang Zhixian stopped, Chen Xin stared at him for a while, and suddenly found that this entry could be of great use, and said with a professional smile: "Tang Da has a great future after entering the rì, and this official feels that this time we should not only stay in the original position, but also cooperate in some other things." ”……
"Let them search carefully, and the silver hidden by the rebels must be found." Liu Minyou stared at Dong Yu with reddened eyes and instructed, "Don't classify the jewelry and those things first, I checked your white spoon jewelry register last night, and it was all randomly divided, emerald is written as greenstone, and coral is written as red jade." ”
Dong Yu said embarrassedly: "Da Jin, the quartermasters under me are also soldiers, and they can read and write, and I haven't even heard of the names of those jewels, and I haven't even seen many things under my subordinates, so naturally I can only register them randomly." ”
"You still free up some silver and cloth, I have already brought a letter to Wang Erya and Lao Cai to bring the trading company in, they are well-informed, and they are safer than you."
Dong Yu can't wait for this, these jewels are dazzling one by one, and they are tempting to look at them. But now they have to search their bodies when they enter and leave the warehouse area, and they are not allowed to bring anything in and out, the quartermasters of the military judges' training team supervise each other, and the guards at the gate are the Chinese military guards, and no one can make up their minds. It was itchy to see it and couldn't do it, Dong Yu didn't dare to do it himself, the three thousand headquarters had already been caught in private storage, and Nie Hong, the judge of the general army, informed the whole army yesterday that the officers and soldiers who committed the crime had been detained, and they would be severely punished according to military discipline after returning to Wendeng, and they would probably be beheaded.
"Mr. Liu, you'd better let them come quickly, these jewels are too valuable, and the things are not big, I'm afraid that every time I lose a piece, I will have to lose a lot of money."
"You didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of." Liu Minyou walked outside the tent, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it vigorously on his face, and his spirit was shocked.
The tents in front of me are more and more pleasing to the eye, because the contents inside can accommodate more refugees and allow them to survive in this troubled era.
"Land, or land." Liu Minyou whispered to himself, without land, the long-term livelihood of refugees is always unsolved. For the peasants of this era, the land is a qiē, which is a concept that he cannot change. It is true that no matter what kind of trade and industry Wendeng achieves, grain is the foundation of a qiē, and after Liu Minyou went to Jiangnan, he was even more worried about the food problem.
Dong Yu followed behind, and there were still oxen and carriages coming out in the direction of the city gate, and he whispered to Liu Minyou: "This batch of Jinyao is treasury silver and gold and silver, Chen Dajin has put it in Wengcheng for several years, and Jinyao finally dares to transport it out." ”
Liu Minyou, the silver of the government, felt that it should be wanted, and the military salary of the Wendeng camp in previous years had never been sufficient, and a large part of it had to be returned to Shangguan in full, although it was much better than other border troops, but Liu Minyou felt that these should be subsidized to the Wendeng camp.
Liu Minyou had not closed his eyes for two years, but at this time, the god was still excited. Dong Yu is a quartermaster, but he belongs to the management of both ends, he is an army official, but he has to find Liu Min from time to time for materials and funds, so both the military and the civilian side regard him as a subordinate.
Since Liu Min arrived and waited to leave, he dragged him to review the materials together, and he didn't close his eyes for the same time, and he couldn't hold it at this time. Thinking of the army, Liu Minyou turned to Dong Yu and asked, "Dengzhou governs two military towns, how much military money did you grab this time?" ”
Dong Yuqiang opened his eyes and replied, "There are many but too many, there are piles of knives, guns, sticks, birds, and three-eyed guns, and all the suitable ones are cleared out in the South Gate Urn City, and they will be used by those Tunbao guards in the future." The best is the cannon. The subordinates went to see it in person, there were thirty large and small red-clothed cannons, and one was blown up on the east gate, Chen Dajin did not let him move, saying that this thing was not very useful, but it was very eye-catching, and he would talk about it after discussing it with Lu Jianjun. ”
"Just a cannon?"
"There are still some armor, but the good ones have been collected by the rebels, and there are thousands of pieces that have been taken out there, the advantages and disadvantages are different, and there are many other things, there are several rooms of sulfur raw materials in the Gunpowder Bureau, and the iron materials are hundreds of thousands of catties, and the iron materials are not easy to carry, Chen Dajin let me leave them until the end."
Liu Minyou began to calculate in his heart, comparing this year's material pre-production he had originally made. Dong Yu saw Liu Minyou in a daze outside, so he quickly ran back to the tent quietly, and fell asleep soundly after lying on a pile of silver boxes for a while.
Liu Min was unconscious, he looked at the oxen and carriages in the distance and sighed easily, "These things can also manage tens of thousands of silver, especially the nitrate is not easy to come by, and the iron material will be used more and more this year, so it is best to keep these things." In addition, it is not enough to repair the post station, if Laiyang and Penglai can have Tunbao, they have to build roads. With the road, we can activate business, our white spoon southern goods, cigarettes, farm tools can be sold more to Qingzhou, the last time Chen Dajin brought back from Jinan refugees have tens of thousands of income, they are not qualified to divide the field this year, we can use them to build roads. With a good road, the army can also be mobilized faster, seeing that there is a lot of silver now, if Chen Xin plans to expand his power to the entire Denglai, these silver are not enough, I hope that Liaohai will be frozen as soon as possible, and our white spoon sea trade, Liaodong trade, and Yaojin trade routes can be opened, and only when the silver moves can we earn more silver, so that more people can have a way to live. ”
After Liu Min finished speaking, there was no movement in the back, he turned his head to see that he had not entered, ran into the tent and grabbed Dong Yu, who was sleeping heavily, and shook it vigorously, "Hurry up, I haven't seen the cloth yet, I have to go and see if your quartermaster has divided the brocade, satin, and lunzi into pairs." ”
Dong Yu opened his eyes in a daze, "Mr. Liu, let your subordinates sleep and go back to success, there are guards from the Chinese army, and they won't fly anyway." ”
"No, I have to know the approximate number as much as possible, the number of these things will affect this year's budget expenditure, and the sooner I come out, I will be able to reasonably distribute the gold and silver materials."
"Just sleep for half an hour...... o Ahhhhh Dong Yu was kicked by Liu Min, jumped up and led the way to the camp of Bubo.
