Chapter 392 Enforcement

Guan Kesong, the prefect of Runing, persuaded in a gentle tone: "Wu Dusi, it is now a year of great disasters, and the people are displaced, which is the fault of the inability of this official to educate and educate. For the sake of food, the people wandered around or for a porridge, or gathered thieves and bandits. For this, the official is ashamed of the trust of the emperor and the lords of the court. ”

"I should have opened a warehouse for disaster relief and made every effort to fight the disaster, but I had no choice but to invade the country, and the official warehouse in the government was really bottomed out. Although the official still thinks that the homeless people in the house are all good people, they should focus on appeasement. But Wu Dusi is also worried, after all, the Shaanxi bandits are peeping outside the mansion, and once the displaced people in the mansion are instigated, it is very easy for things to happen out of control. Therefore, although the "Ban on Flow Order" and "Ban on Theft Order" are evil laws, the official no longer spares his own feathers, and agrees to Wu Dusi in the name of a cool official. “

"But the "Ban" really doesn't work. Although Wu Dusi was kind to resettle the displaced people, he seized private land, so that the government was different from bandits? Wu Dusi, don't worry! The official also knows that the Runing Battalion is hard to go to Ruzhou this time, and the official is also willing to convene the gentry in the mansion to raise some rewards for the Runing Battalion, and hope that Wu Dusi will think twice! ”

Guan Kesong's words were quite polite, in order to let Wu Shigong take back the "Ban on Famine", he was even willing to raise a batch of military salaries and grass for Wu Shigong. It should be said that the officialdom should also give each other face, and Wu Shigong should also accept it when he sees it.

But Wu Shigong's starting point was not so little bit of military salary, grain and grass, what he wanted was full control of Runing Mansion. And the biggest problem in controlling Runing Province is to resettle those displaced people. If there is no land to settle them, just to drive the displaced people away from the road, it is a complete palliative matter. And these three laws and regulations are also complementary to each other, and they are completely indispensable, so Wu Shigong will never agree to any behavior of missing a pound or two.

However, Guan Kesong said politely, and Wu Shigong also exchanged courtesies, and he also politely persuaded him: "Lord Futai, forgive me, the "Ban on Famine" is not to seek to seize the abandoned fields. It is also an extraordinary decree adopted in this extraordinary period. As soon as the situation improves, the ban will be abolished immediately. Futai adults and adults don't have to worry. ”

"And everywhere ploughs and reads the squire's house, and the abandoned fields have nothing to come out of. And there are gathered displaced people who dig ditches, dig rivers, dig wells and carry burdens, and there is always some harvest in the fields. Therefore, these squires have some income. On the other hand, the homeless people can be satisfied with farming, but on the other hand, it is difficult to cause chaos. As for the government, they can also get some from those harvests, whether it is the military salaries and grass of the Runing battalion. Or the local construction of cities and disaster relief, there will always be some compensation. This is a matter of three benefits! Wangfutai Lord Mingjian! ”

Wu Shigong emphatically pointed out that after the implementation of the "Ban on Famine," the Runing Army would not eat alone, and hoped to use their interests to win over Guan Kesong and other officials of Runing Prefecture.

Seeing Wu Shigong's firm attitude, Guan Kesong also felt that it was difficult to persuade. Because if he had a direct dispute with Wu Shigong, then there would be very little room for manoeuvre afterwards. And this time. There should be a pawn stepping up.

Wang Zhixian, the person attached to Guo, bowed his hand to Wu Shigong. said: "What Wu Dusi thinks is wonderful. But it is also thought by the warriors, and they don't know the difficulty of implementing government affairs, and they think that it is just talk on paper. ”

Wu Shigong frowned as soon as he heard Wang Zhixian's unkind words, but he still asked quietly, "Wang Zhixian." Is there anything wrong with this official's "ban on waste"? ”

"The county admits that the "Ban on Famine" proposed by Wu Dusi is very well-intentioned, and also admits that Wu Dusi's words are reasonable. But this county does not say that it is full of poetry and books, but the history books of the past dynasties are still slightly doubled. Why is it that from ancient times to the present, no one has proposed a decree similar to the "Ban on Famine"? Could it be that the great sages and famous ministers of the past generations can't think of what a martial artist thinks today? ”

"Definitely! No matter how good the imperial decree is. It also needs to be carried out by the low-level officials. The cruelty of the people is also mostly done by small officials. If the "Ban on Famine" is promulgated, how can Wu Dusi ensure that there is no harm to the people? How to ensure that there is no encroachment on grain fields? How to ensure that there is no deception? How to ensure that there is no collusion? Therefore, although this order is good, it is nothing more than a flower in the water and an order of the moon in the mirror. ”

What Wang Zhixian raised was a very realistic issue of execution. To put it simply, this question is that the good scriptures are read crookedly by the crooked monks. At that time, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, and although many haode decrees were conceived beautifully, they were used and changed by low-level officials out of their own selfish interests, resulting in the inability of Zuihou to implement them; Or after the implementation of the variant, it led to a lot of scolding, which eventually made Wang Anshi's change fail. That's why failure doesn't have the power to execute.

And Wang Zhixian's words are very convincing, which makes Wu Shigong difficult to refute. I don't necessarily have Wu Shigong saying this: Your government can't carry it out, so let's go with our Runing Army. If so, don't say whether Guan Kesong and these officials believe it, even if they do, they are not willing to hand over the power in their hands to the Runing Army to execute.

So Wu Shigong could only say this: "This official's Runing camp has been in Tuntian for a long time, and there are a group of people in his hands who are familiar with Tuntian affairs. If you are in trouble, this official is willing to share your worries. ”

"How do you share your worries?" Wang Zhixian straightened up in his chair and continued to wonder, "What the prefecture and county can't take care of, is it feasible for Runing Camp?" It's really a martial artist who is greedy. ”

Wang Zhixian thought that he had seen through Wu Shigong's idea a long time ago, and wanted to use the "Ban on Famine" to collect money for the Runing army, but if there was any dispute with the local officials and gentry, the local government would be responsible. But the Runing Army only threw some small profits to the local government, really thinking that the local government is the caretaker of the Runing Army? Who isn't stupider than whom?

And Wu Shigong was also annoyed by the "martial artists" on the left and the right in Wang Zhixian. He scolded loudly: "What's wrong with the martial artist? Without these warriors in our Runing Battalion, the Shaanxi bandits would have entered Runing Mansion a long time ago. But Wang Zhixian doesn't have to be afraid, there are still us warriors in front of him, and these literati in Wang Zhixian have time to flee when they hear the news! ”

"Presumptuous!" Wang Zhixian immediately blushed and stood up, "This county is deeply favored by the imperial court, and vows to live and die with the city, this county is here to say a word, if there is an invasion of Shaanxi bandits, the whole family of this county will never leave the city." ”

But poor Wang Zhixian didn't know who Wu Shigong was, and he had to be prepared to be angry with Wu Shigong when he scolded him.

Wu Shigong sneered and said: "Wang Zhixian is loyal and brave, and this official is also deeply admired. However, after the Shaanxi bandits came in, the official believed that the men of Wang Zhixian's family were indeed loyal martyrs, but your wife and daughter had to be happy under the Shaanxi bandits, so it would be fun. ”

Wu Shigong's words immediately angered Wang Zhixian, and he shouted: "I have also studied the six arts diligently since I was a child, and I can also afford to raise the three-foot Qingfeng, so I will fight with you as a martial artist today!" ”

So there was a big chaos in the hall, and the officials around Wang Zhixian hurriedly pulled Wang Zhixian and prevented him from coming forward to fight with Wu Shigong. What are you kidding? Take a look at the figures of Wang Zhixian and Wu Shigong. This cricket should also look at the size of a head.

The prefect Guan Kesong was trembling with anger, he patted the big case again and again, and shouted: "What kind of system!" What a system! Shut up the officials! ”

Seeing that Guan Kesong was angry, all the officials also returned to their seats. And at this time, Guan Kesong could no longer escape, and he said to Wu Shigong: "Wu Dusi, the hall discussion also needs to be decent, and filthy words should be stopped." You also saw that there was too much resistance to the "Famine-Ban" from top to bottom, and it was indeed difficult for the officials to implement it. So be it! After the Lantern Festival, the official will promulgate the "Ban on Flow" and "No Theft Order" throughout the province. ”

But since it is at this time, Wu Shigong will definitely not back down: "Lord Futai forgive me!" This is a military matter, and the Runing Battalion feels that these three laws are imperative. Even if the Lord of Futai does not give an order, the Runing camp will be forcibly implemented in the whole province. ”

"I would like to advise the people of Futai, now that the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, it is not the way to protect yourself. You don't see, the governor of Shaanxi Hong and the governor of Chen have been suppressing bandits for several years; Yunyang Jiang Fuzhi did nothing and ended up in prison. To put it mildly, the emperor is the king of deeds, not the king of mercy. ”

"And once the three orders are implemented, the official also knows that there will be a backlash, but what we are doing is also for the emperor and the court, and the emperor and the princes of the court also see it. As long as we rely on the public spirit, although there are small twists and turns, the overall situation is still in hand, at least we can win the name of a capable minister. But in case inaction leads to a civil uprising in the house, then everyone here will also go to the edict to meet. ”

"Your Excellency, do it yourself." Wu Shigong stood up and bowed his hand, "Do you think that if the Runing Camp forcibly executes, the imperial court will believe that you don't know?" Why don't we work together to carry out the three decrees? Farewell! ”

Seeing Wu Shigong arrogantly leaving, Guan Kesong and these officials all had ugly faces. They then discussed for a long time and found that Wu Shigong's words were indeed reasonable. As long as the three decrees are specifically implemented, those people will not be able to distinguish whether it is the local government or the Runing Army that is specifically implemented, they will only think that it is an order of the imperial court, so Guan Kesong and these people did not want to go into the water and involuntarily entered the water.

Therefore, when Guan Kesong later heard that the Runing Army had begun to recruit candidates for the implementation of the three decrees with great fanfare, he could only reluctantly submit the order to the promulgation of these three decrees to Wu Shigong's capital yamen.

Wu Shigong forcibly kidnapped Guan Kesong this time, but Guan Kesong Zuihou took the initiative to send the order to issue the decree that time, also because Guan Kesong wanted to grasp the initiative to implement the decree and prevent the Runing army from coming in chaos. It's a remedy.

But Guan Kesong didn't expect that Ru Ningjun's movements were so fast, and a series of combination punches quickly implemented these three decrees.

What's more, to Guan Kesong's surprise, the implementation of these three decrees has basically been applauded by all the official eunuchs and gentry families in Runing Mansion.

However, Guan Kesong and those local officials have not discovered it for the time being, and their power has been gradually deprived by the Runing Army unknowingly! (To be continued......)
