After the private message is delivered, there will be any turmoil in the capital, and Wu Shigong can't do anything anyway. For now, he has to seize the time to stabilize his large rear and prepare for more difficult battles in the future.

Just after the New Year, on the seventh day of the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Wu Shigong sent someone to send a post to Guan Kesong, the prefect of Runing Prefecture, asking Guan Kesong to gather all the officials of the prefect's yamen on the thirteenth day of the first month. And Wu Shigong will personally visit at that time to discuss the emergency military situation.

After Guan Kesong received this post, he was really stunned for a long time. It's infuriating. When will a metropolitan officer be able to summon civil officials in a commanding tone?

However, Guan Kesong also knew that the people in Ru Ningjun were all stunned, and they never had contact with each other in ordinary times, and they never talked about the rules when they came into contact. Look at that time, even the general banner of the Runing Army dared to beat the door at the door of the prefect's yamen, so Guan Kesong was not surprised by Wu Shigong's attitude.

And now is indeed the time when the peasant rebel army is rampant in Henan, although I have recently heard that the peasant rebel army is far away from Runing Mansion, maybe there is something new happening? So, Guan Kesong still held back his breath and sent his family members to call all the officials who had returned home to rest during the festival to the yamen on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, ready to discuss with Wu Shigong.

In the early morning of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yun wore an official robe for Wu Shigong in the room. Wu Shigong's hand is very dishonest, and he constantly takes advantage of Zhu Yun's body.

Zhu Yun smiled "hee-hee", hid behind Wu Shigong, tidied up the back for Wu Shigong, and said, "Uncle...... Master, you are too bad, you know how to touch your hands, and the slaves and maids will not be able to tidy up your official robes. ”

Wu Shigong is finally not naughty, and he is sorted out by Zhu Yun. said with a smile: "Now your mother Mama Qiu has also returned to the capital, so you can call it if you don't want to follow the rules." Master, aunt and husband or something, what you like to call it is up to your own heart, I don't care. However, in the occasion, you still have to call according to the rules? ”

"It's not good!" Zhu Yun hesitated, "After Sister Xin and the others come back in a few days, when they see this in the house, will they blame the slave for not taking care of the inner house?" ”

"Xin'er wished it was like that!" Wu Shigong teased, "You didn't see when Mama Qiu insisted that she change her name to call me master." She had a sad face. Anyway, if Xin'er wants to come hard, my aunt and I will be in charge, and the inner house will always be under your control in the future, and I will be angry with her! Haha-! ”

"Giggles!" Zhu Yun also daxiao, and after laughing for a while. Zhu Yun continued: "This slave doesn't dare! Provoke the aunt's inner house to be restless, that is a big sin for slaves! ”

Zhu Yun's eyes fluttered when he said this. It seems to be extraordinarily flattering. Wu Shigong's salty pig hand couldn't help but touch it again. Seeing that Wu Shigong's official robe had been packed up, Zhu Yun hurriedly jumped away with a smile and said with a smile: "Uncle! Are you in a good mood today? “

Wu Shigong nodded and said, "Of course! Uncle, I'm going to take Runing Mansion in my hands today. But don't hide, little hoof! ”

Zhu Yun ran out of the house. Seeing that it was not early, Wu Shigong stopped laughing with his concubine, and walked out of his house.

Han Shi immediately brought the person crazy to Wu Shigong's side. Wu Shigong jumped on the horse. Walk towards the city of Runing. At this time, Wu Shigong saw that Deng Qifan, who was accompanying him, seemed to be very worried, so he asked, "Mr. Deng, is there anything to worry about?" ”

Deng Qifan looked around. They were all Wu Shigong's personal soldiers led by Tao Xin, and they were not afraid of being heard by outsiders, so they whispered to Wu Shigong: "My lord, what you want to talk to the Guan Governor today is too dangerous, and if it is known by the court, it may set off stormy waves." According to the students' view, it is better to slow down, and there are some things that do not need to be in a hurry. ”

Wu Shigong had actually made up his mind a long time ago, he shook his head and said, "I can't wait." If we wait until there is a civil uprising in Runing and Guide to implement it, then it may be too late. This time, I am also determined, even if the prefect does not agree, I will forcibly carry out these decrees. ”

"In this battle of Ruzhou, Uncle Yongli took nearly seventy percent of the strength of our Runing Army to fight against the small Shaanxi bandits, and he almost fought very embarrassed. By asking the captured prisoners, what appeared this time was Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who were not great characters at all (Wu Shigong didn't know history, so he didn't know Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's prestige in the late Ming Dynasty, so Wu Shigong regarded them as small characters). ”

"What if it's Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng who come this time? Their strength is much higher than that of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai (Wu Shigong has made the mistake of empiricism here again, but the fame is really mixed). Can our Runing Army still be able to stop it? ”

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, we just want a stable rear, not only can we not add to the chaos, but we must also be able to supply food and people to our Runing army. Therefore, the implementation of those decrees is imminent. Today, he has to promise to the prefect's mansion, and he has to agree if he doesn't. To tell the truth, if he doesn't agree, then our Runing Army will force him to take out the official seal with a knife. ”

"Of course, Mr. Deng is also worried that once this matter spreads, it will definitely be quite unfavorable to us. However, relative to the future of our Runing Army, it is worth taking these risks, and our reasoning can also be explained. However, it is better to let the prefect of Guan take the initiative to cooperate. Otherwise, I'm going to talk to him today? ”

Seeing that Wu Shigong had made up his mind, Deng Qifan stopped persuading him.

After Wu Shigong came to the prefect's yamen, the prefect's Guan Kesong and all the officials of the prefect's yamen had already arrived. Guan Kesong was very well prepared, and he even called the magistrate of Guo and the magistrate of the two adjacent counties.

After the group saluted and congratulated each other on the New Year, everyone sat down. Guan Kesong stroked his beard and asked, "Why did Wu Dusi come to find this official and his colleagues today?" ”

"Your Excellency! Ladies and gentlemen! Wu Shigong was quite polite when he threw his hands around, but he was not polite at all when he said the next words, "What the official will say later is very important, I hope that all the adults will not interrupt, and if you have any questions, wait until the official's words are finished before asking." ”

The officials seated in the lobby immediately glared at the goldfish in surprise, this Wu Dusi was too polite to speak. Fortunately, all the officials present were in place, and they all frowned and listened carefully to what Wu Shigong was about to say.

But then Wu Shigong's words surprised them even more, and one of the prefects was so surprised that he couldn't help but interrupt Wu Shigong, but he was angrily scolded back by Wu Shigong, but the prefect Guan Kesong kept pulling his beard and waited for Wu Shigong to finish speaking. Seeing that his prefect had this attitude, the other officials were silent.

In fact, what Wu Shigong is talking about are three decrees. It is the decree that can completely control the Runing Mansion.

The first is the Ban on Flow. The core content of the "Ban on Flow" is to prohibit all displaced people in Runing Province and strictly implement the road guidance system of the Ming Dynasty. If there are still displaced people, they will be arrested and punished with hard labor. If there is resistance, it will be killed.

Of course, the difficulty of the "Ban on Flow" is how to arrange those displaced people, but this is related to the latter decree. The purpose of Wu Shigong's implementation of the "Ban on Flow" was to prevent all unstable factors and the possibility of peasant rebels raising their arms.

The second decree is the Famine Ban. The "Ban on Waste" and the "Ban on Flow" complement each other. The core content is to prohibit all acts of abandonment in Runing Province.

After the beginning of spring, if there is still abandonment, whether it is the land of homesteaders and official eunuchs, it will be collected by the government, that is, the Runing army will manage it on its behalf. The Runing army paid only a symbolic rent, and then settled the captured displaced people to work on the abandoned land.

The third law is the Prohibition of Theft. As the name suggests, it can be literally known that the "Prohibition of Theft" is to prohibit any banditry in Runing Mansion. The Runing Army will carry out zero-tolerance encirclement and suppression of all bandits, and they will not be merciless in killing.

However, there is another important point in the "Prohibition of Theft", that is, the strict implementation of the armor protection system. In it, there are even some perverted provisions. For example, if you have no intention of taking in the bandits, you will still be punished by protecting the armor; For example, in Runing Mansion, all families are not allowed to raise birds, not even canaries. The Runing Army did this to prevent the transmission of all the news in the Runing Mansion through carrier pigeons.

Moreover, the "Prohibition of Theft" also stipulates that all residents who live in Runing Province within three years will be placed under residential surveillance. This regulation also prevented foreign spies from probing the news of the Runing Army.

The prefect Guan Kesong quietly listened to the three decrees that Wu Shigong said. He also understood that if he did what Wu Shigong said, then Runing Mansion would indeed be able to be peaceful in the territory.

But how are these three laws enforced? If it is forcibly enforced, it will certainly cause great resentment among the people. "Ban on Flow" and "Ban on Theft" are good to say, the public grievance is only the people's grievance, Guan Kesong asked himself is not a big problem.

But who is "Ban" facing? It must be those big landlords who have a lot of land and feel that recruiting tenant farmers to cultivate in disaster years is not worth the loss! If it is forcibly taken back to the government, it will be lively. Guan Kesong felt that he couldn't bear such pressure.

Of course, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the prefect did have the power to issue decrees in his own palace. The absurd decree that "only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps" can still be issued.

And today Guan Kesong also saw that the reason why Wu Shigong wanted to consult with his own people was to issue these three decrees by himself. So after Wu Shigong finished speaking, Guan Kesong brewed a rhetoric, and wanted to tactfully refuse the implementation of the "Ban on Waste", but also left Wu Shigong with a face, ready to agree to the implementation of the "Ban on Flow" and "Ban on Theft".
