Cui Chengxiu and Wang Huazhen were Jinshi in the same year, although Lao Cui hugged Wei Zhongxian's thigh and rose to the level of the ministry, but Wang Huazhen was also the governor of real power, and with Zhang Ke's relationship, Cui Chengxiu was extremely polite. ∷Top∷Point∷Small∷ says, www.

The two of them joined hands and went to the lobby together, Cui Chengxiu sat on the left and Wang Huazhen sat on the right.

"Brother Xiao, we entered the department in the same year, and now we are making decisions for the people together and trying unjust cases, which can be said to be a good story."

"Hahaha, Lord Cui is polite, the people of Liaodong are too bitter, please uphold the principles of heaven, national law, and human feelings, properly handle the case, and give the people an explanation!"

"Didn't say that!" Cui Chengxiu said with a smile: "The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." Meng Shengren's teachings are still in his ears, this official is a minister, no matter who is involved in the case, he must be tried to the end! ”

"Come on, tell the people outside what the official said, let them rest assured, there is Ben Qin sent to them to call the shots, just complain!"

His subordinates hurriedly ran out and announced Cui Chengxiu's words to the people as they were. A large number of people had already gathered outside the governor's yamen.

Yesterday, there was an attack on Ge Lao, and the people were frightened, they thought that the imperial court would definitely be angry, and they searched for it, and some even fled from the city overnight to hide, for fear of implicating themselves.

Unexpectedly, instead of arresting people, Lord Qincha actually posted a list of documents, allowing the people to continue to file complaints, and now the people were very happy, it seems that they met the Qingtian Lord.

Early in the morning, the front of the governor's yamen was full of people, and the sun was shining three poles, and the gate was open. The official messenger repeated the instructions of the Lord Qincha in front of the door, and then began to collect the pleadings, allowing the people who were strict with the case to go directly to complain.

Hundreds of people crowded to the front of the lobby, and many more outside waited for the results.

After yesterday's big battle, Cui Chengxiu has long been immune. But when I looked at the people who were pressed by the black pressure below, I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp for a while.

"Ahem...... When Ben Qincha was in Beijing, he heard that there was a conflict in Hua'er Camp because of the requisition of people's husbands, and dozens of villagers were beaten. After arriving in Liaodong, I heard that some officers and soldiers brazenly shelled the Hua'er camp, and countless Ming people died tragically under the artillery, which is unbearable! ”

Cui Chengxiu slapped the table and stood up suddenly, his voice an octave higher.

"Listen, y'all. Ben Chin came by order of the emperor, it is for you to be the master, if you have any grievances, just complain! ”

Hearing the words of Lord Chincha, the people in the hall were moved to tears.

In the eyes of these people, the Ming Dynasty of hundreds of years, no matter how bad it is, as long as they are willing to change, they will give unlimited tolerance. Unless they are really on the verge of life and death, they will choose to resist......

This habit of accumulating has penetrated deeply into the bones of every common people, and has almost become their instinct. This is also what Zhang Ke fears the most, only by slowly eliminating the people's awe of the imperial court can they really tear their faces, perhaps. It's a good opportunity right now.

"Did you hear clearly, Lord Qincha Cui is particularly concerned about the people of Hua'er Camp, so let them come up first. Make your grievances clear! Wang Huazhen said loudly.

The subordinates hurriedly nodded their heads, and found a dozen people from the crowd of complainants, and they knelt on the ground honestly.

Cui Chengxiu's eyes swept over the people below, and he could see that they were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and some had patches, but they were all clean. With red faces and ravines, it can be seen that they are all honest farmers.

"Let's talk about it first, what's going on, why do you want to form a fortress to protect yourself and fight against the imperial court soldiers?"

The leader was in his thirties, a simple man, and he crawled half a step on his knees.

"Master Qincha, the little ones are all people who are digging in the soil, if they are not forced to be urgent, how dare they make trouble! But then again, if we don't have a way to live, we will have to fight! ”

"Hahaha, you are worthy of the people in the border areas, but there is a hard spirit, just tell me, how did the court force you?"

"Just say it!" The man sniffled and spoke loudly.

"Since last year's autumn grain, in previous years, only one percent of the field was harvested, but the new official suddenly mentioned three percent. Not only did we raise the land rent, but we also let us transport it to Quang Ninh ourselves. In our flower camp alone, three people were exhausted and three horses were broken. Also, there are a lot of people who have been hit by the board. ”

Listening to his cry, Cui Chengxiu frowned and hurriedly looked at Wang Huazhen.

"Brother Xiao, is this true?"

"Master Cui, it's true, when the Marquis of Dingliao established the Grange, he recuperated in order to sympathize with the people. It is stipulated that only one Narita rent will be paid. In fact, the rent of Isseita is much more than the thirty taxes stipulated by the imperial court. However, without the exploitation of the landlords and squires, the common people could still get benefits. In addition, Marquis Zhang specially set up a convoy to collect grain, and as long as the people waited at home, someone would transport the tax grain. ”

Wang Huazhen paused and continued: "After Elder Sun Ge arrived, he wanted to overhaul the city and fort, first collected all the convoys, and then said that the burden on the people was too low, so the tax and grain were increased to 30%, which was almost the same as in the Guannei!" ”

After Wang Huazhen's introduction, Cui Chengxiu was still a little puzzled.

"Brother Xiao, according to what you said, Elder Sun Ge is just following the rules of the Guan, why are the people complaining? Could it be that the people of Liaodong are too squeamish? ”

"Definitely!"

Shen Yue, who was standing behind Wang Huazhen, walked out, as Zhang Ke's classmate, he has been promoted quite quickly in recent years.

first donated a prisoner, then served as a general judge in charge of food, and then was promoted to a magistrate and prepared for military affairs. As an official who is not a Jinshi, especially a civil official, Shen Yue's progress is quite amazing. Of course, there is Zhang Ke's factor, but Shen Yue's ability is also not bad.

He stood up and said in a crisp voice: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, it is definitely not that the people of Liaodong are delicate, on the contrary, Liaodong is a war zone, in addition to the normal selection of soldiers, each village also has to send people, participate in patrols, and every time there is a war, they also have to act as auxiliaries." Just ask the people in the pass, who will be like them, who will live with their heads up?

In addition, in recent years, Liaodong has been bitterly cold, and it is necessary to use a warm house to raise seedlings, and the cost of farming is two percent more than that in Guannai. Sun Ge didn't know what to do, and rashly raised the field endowment, forgive the official for bluntly, it was really unwise! The people of Liaodong are facing the threat of the Tartars, and the day is precarious. If Tian Fu is the same as Kannai, why are they taking risks here. It's better to just flee to Kannai. If the people are gone, and the fields are barren, and all the industries are withered, what will be used to raise the army? Does it depend on the military salary of the imperial court? ”

Shen Yue's words just hit the nail on the head, Cui Chengxiu was shocked, indeed, as long as someone in Liaodong supports him, it is also beneficial to the imperial court to not accept the land endowment! Once the people are forced away, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are raised, and cities are built to fight, the cost will be so amazing, I am afraid that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will be emptied, and it will not be used.

Thinking of this, Cui Chengxiu had already scolded in his heart, Sun Chengzong was digging a pit for Daming!

"Go, invite Elder Sun Ge over and let him hear it with his own ears." (To be continued......) R527
