Chapter 714: Abominable Scholar Officer

In the direction of Shuzhong, nearly 100 officials sent by the imperial court, after arriving in Yizhou and Liangzhou, soon entered their respective posts, and immediately began to collect the faults and charges of Shuzhong officials in order to impeach and eventually replace them.

These officials are the henchmen of the important ministers of the imperial court, and most of their origins are the Jiangnan scholars and the northern scholars, so they naturally represent the interests of the Jiangnan scholars and the northern scholars, at this time, Yizhou and Liangzhou After years of development, the productivity has been greatly improved, the number of acres of fertile land has doubled, and the mortality rate of the newly born population has been greatly reduced.

Such a land of fish and rice with abundant products and thriving people made these new court officials excited, and they naturally would not miss the opportunity to make a big profit.

Within a few days, they impeached dozens of Shuzhong officials one after another, and confiscated their houses and land for their own property.

Of course, these confiscated houses and properties were far from satisfying their appetites, and these officials sent by the imperial court successively seized the land of the common people for various reasons, and even the land and property that Hua'an rewarded to the meritorious soldiers under his command, they did not let go.

You must know that in order to motivate the soldiers under his command to serve his orders, Hua'an rewarded some of the newly reclaimed land in Liangzhou and Yizhou to many soldiers under his command, and these lands were newly reclaimed, so when Hua'an rewarded them to the generals under his command, he did not report to the Great Jin court, which directly led to the illegality of the land owned by the generals, so that these court officials could confiscate the land on the grounds that the land was illegal. And eventually turn it into a field under his own name.

In the eyes of these noble-blooded scholars, how can those poor and lowly warriors who can only fight deserve to have a large area of fertile land, besides, most of them are in Hebei, even if they are not angry, they can only stare dryly.

Of course, in order not to cause a rebellion among the soldiers stationed in Shu, these officials did not embezzle the land of the soldiers under the command of Thunderstorm and Tie Niu, so that their actions were not greatly resisted. Shun Shun lì made a lot of money.

These officials have wantonly embezzled fertile land. They made enough money, but the common people in Shu suffered, and all the people who had newly cultivated land lost all their land overnight. Reduced to a sharecropper with nothing. Thus living a slave-like life.

These people are very confused. These fields have been cultivated by them with great painstaking efforts, and they have been their fields for so many years. Why, after a change of officials, these fields inexplicably do not belong to them, this makes them angry and dissatisfied.

Many ordinary people who have lost their fields get together and want to reason with these scholars, but the official has two mouths, and a group of uneducated ordinary people are theorizing with officials, isn't it a matter of seeking the skin of a tiger, and the result can be imagined.

Of course, these officials are well-versed in the way of controlling the people, and they will not go too far, and in order to appease the common people who have lost their land, they make it clear that these fields are still cultivated by the original common people, but after the harvest, they have to pay a part of the harvest, and in addition to paying a part of the harvest, the remaining harvest is enough for these people to live.

They have grasped the weakness of the common people, that is, as long as they are well fed and warmly clothed, they will be relatively satisfied, so that they will not take risks and take drastic actions.

With such a result, all the common people were very dissatisfied, but it was just dissatisfaction and anger, and most of them still chose to accept it helplessly, after all, it was the official family that seized their land, and as long as they did not starve, most of them would not risk killing their heads and oppose the court officials.

Of course, there were also a small number of ordinary people who were completely unwilling to compromise, some of them directly clashed with the court officials and were arrested in prison, and some gathered together and took up rudimentary weapons to occupy the mountains and become kings, intending to completely break with the court.

All of a sudden, in the entire Shu, there were often conflicts between the people and the imperial court, occupying the mountain as the king, and the people who protected themselves according to the dock fort abounded.

Although the proportion of these adventurous people was small, they also caused a lot of waves in Shuzhong and soon spread to Jiankang City.

The important ministers of the court in Jiankang City, who have a detailed understanding of what happened in Shu, are generally quite satisfied, although the officials sent to Shuzhong embezzled the land and property of the common people, causing some of the people to resist, but this is also inevitable, after all, if you can't get the benefits, these noble officials will not go to Shuzhong to be officials? Not to mention that they will not be loyal to these old and important ministers, besides, this small group of ordinary people will not be able to achieve any big climate, and it has become a sure thing that Shuzhong is controlled by these warrior forces.

These scholars who entered Shuzhong often obtained 10,000 acres of fertile land, which made those scholars who did not go to Shuzhong greedy, and they asked to go to Shuzhong to get a piece of the pie in the name of serving the imperial court.

But at this moment, the officials sent to Shuzhong were enough, for this reason, these old and important ministers of the dynasty did not agree, but they could not withstand the hard pleading of these scholars and children, so they had to take the risk of letting them go to Guanzhong and Sizhou respectively, and be responsible for controlling the economic lifelines of these two places, so that the army under the command of Hua'an could rely on their snorts.

Of course, the important ministers of the imperial court are still worried that this will further stimulate Hua'an, which may make Hua'an take risks.

However, Yizhou and Liangzhou are both the land of fish and rice, is the place where Hua'an started, can be regarded as the foundation of Hua'an, now, the imperial court uprooted its foundation, but Hua'an did not have any abnormal behavior, not even a word of complaint, the undercover agent placed in the Hua'an army, but also spread a sentence 'the king called the ministers to die and the ministers had to die', which made the important ministers of the court feel a lot more relieved, and at the same time made them bold and relaxed a lot.

In order to curb Hua'an's strength, and at the same time, in order to rapidly expand their own interests, this group of important officials of the imperial court agreed to the requests of many scholars and sent them into Guanzhong and Sizhou, let them manage the household registration and fields there, and squeezed out Hua'an's henchmen, and completely controlled these two places step by step.

Among the children of these scholars, according to their family rank and prestige, they were respectively awarded positions of different sizes, such as supervising the imperial history, shui heng, dianyu, pastoral officer, and siyan school captain, so that they could better control zhì guanzhong and sizhou.

However, after thinking about it, the important ministers of the court were still a little worried, so they warned these children of the scholar clan who were about to set off that everything must be done in moderation, and they must not be too greedy, especially not to excessively stimulate the generals of the Hua'an Legion, so as not to cause radical changes.

These children of the scholar clan naturally readily agreed, and swore that they would definitely live up to their mission.

The important ministers of the imperial court were very pleased, so they immediately entered the palace, and reported to Chu Garlic the achievements of the officials sent to Shuzhong, and asked to continue to send the children of the scholar clan to Guanzhong and Sizhou.

Chu Lianzi felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to enter the area controlled by the Hua'an Army on such a large scale, but he couldn't withstand the hard persuasion of these old ministers, and finally nodded and agreed, and issued a holy decree to seal all the children of the scholar clan who were about to set off, and let them go to Guanzhong and Sizhou with the holy decree of the imperial court to manage the affairs there.

After several days of preparation, a group of scholars left Jiankang City under the protection of hundreds of soldiers and marched towards Guanzhong and Sizhou.

In the direction of Yecheng, Hua An sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, frowning and worried, according to the report of the wise people placed in Shu, nearly 100 scholars sent by the imperial court have penetrated into various institutions in Shuzhong, and vigorously squeezed out the officials they had raised, and even put these people in prison.

The most fatal thing is that these scholar officials, for their own interests, annexed the fields and properties of many ordinary people, and caused some common people to resist, in the entire Shu, there are nearly 10,000 people who gather to occupy the mountains as kings.

As a result, the production environment in Shuzhong has become a lot worse, and in the long run, it will inevitably cause a decline in productivity, and even cause the loss of population.

Liangzhou and Yizhou were established by Hua'an's hard work and were the foundation of Hua'an's start, but now, they were so ruined by these scholars, Hua'an felt very sad, and at the same time, it also confirmed his judgment, and the imperial court really had further action.

What worries Hua'an the most is that according to these scholar officials, such means, it will not be long before the taxes and food in Shu will be controlled by them, so that the army under the command of Iron Bull and Thunderstorm will have to rely on people to survive, even if they have a deep relationship with themselves, but in the face of cruel reality, they will definitely obey the will of the imperial court and become an army under the control of the scholars.

If such a situation really occurs, it will be extremely unfavorable for Huaan, and for this reason, Huaan seems worried.

"Big brother, big brother, there is a riot in the camp." Just when Hua An was worried, Wang San strode into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Hua An was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Wang San hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, it is because some of the soldiers' fields were embezzled by the court officials, and the families of these soldiers were also beaten. ”

Hua An listened carefully, and there was indeed an unusual noise in the camp, so he immediately got up and left the Chinese army's tent and walked in the direction where the noise sounded.

"Dare to take away my fertile land, beat my father and mother, this rabbit cub, Lao Tzu will not spare him, soldiers, pick up your swords, and kill them back to Shuzhong with this general." A small colonel with a mouth full of alcohol yelled loudly.

"Yes, kill back to Shuzhong, kill back to Shuzhong." The soldiers under his command all raised their weapons and echoed, obviously they were all extremely angry. (To be continued......)
