If Zuo Liangyu was born a thousand years earlier, he would not be a generation of heroes. His parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his uncle. He is a burly man with great strength, and is especially good at shooting arrows with a bow. first served as a soldier in Shanhaiguan, and became an officer because of his bravery. was promoted all the way, and was removed from his post for participating in the mutiny, and was transferred to Cao Wenzhao after his recovery. Later, he was promoted to deputy general by Hou Sui, transferred to the Central Plains to suppress thieves, and eventually became a warlord.

Under this inspirational story, he is still a vulgar martial artist who can't read a basket of big words. The military discipline of the Left Army is extremely corrupt, and the so-called "thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates" are mainly because Zuo Liangyu connived at the ruffians. It would be fine to say that this was due to the character of the general, but he connived at it like this, but he still couldn't get his record.

On the other hand, Zuo Liangyu is a person who knows gratitude. After Hou Sui promoted him, every time he passed by Hou Sui's hometown, he had to go to kowtow to Hou Sui's parents. Hou Sui later went out of Beijing to supervise the teacher, and it was his subordinates who showed mercy that he was not killed by the pit - he was just pit and put in prison.

This time, the Donggong army lived next to Zuo Liangyu, and Zhu Cihong soon issued a new appointment to Hou Xun: the governor of Henan and Huguangtun grain affairs.

Hou Sui is already old, and his son successfully boarded the crown prince's dragon boat and became the prefect, and he is quite satisfied. This time, he went out of the mountain purely to suppress Zuo Liangyu and prevent him from moving.

Although Zuo Liangyu had a record of "Qing Jun's side" in the original historical time and space, it was the huge pressure caused to him by Li Zicheng's southward Jingxiang, and it was better to regard it as an escape than a rebellion. Now that he is terminally ill, he is purely relying on one breath to stand up, as long as he is not too oppressive, he will not take risks.

Zhu Cihong knew that Zuo Liangyu had four months of life at most. did not rush him, just waited for him to die and took over the defense of Huguang and reorganized the officers and soldiers of Zuozhen.

The past four months have not been Zhu Cihong's generosity, but there is really no one under him.

Whether it is an officer or an administrative officer, the East Palace is in extreme shortage.

"Transfer students from Shandong Village School to intern."

Zhu Cihong faced the grievances of various prefectures and counties in Henan, and could only replenish the low-level scribes as soon as possible.

The reason why the Donggong system was able to grasp local power in a short period of time. The main thing is to rely on a perfect and reasonable civil official system, establish a large number of written files, and collect all the social data that was originally regarded as heirlooms by local officials, and recompile them.

This process requires a huge amount of manpower, and it is also necessary to eliminate the interference of the local officials' families, and if necessary, to make an example of chickens and monkeys.

Wu Weiye is the prefect of Huaiqing. He arrived on the 5th of December and met with the officials and subordinates of the two prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and did not really start his work until the 10th of the first month. After finishing these opening tasks, he had to start with the organization of households and the people according to the work outline, and at the same time recruit people and students, hire external account offices, and count the treasury.

Who knew that this most basic work in Shandong could not be carried out.

The reason is simple. The fish scale book is subject to land tax, and the yellow book is to determine the household registration. These two items must have been held in the hands of the county scribes. Reluctance to revise. Moreover, the Yellow Book of the Ming Dynasty only counts the people, the army, and the artisan households, and the untouchables such as slaves are not counted in the household registration. The Donggong Evacuation Station entered the prefecture and county, which was naturally welcomed by the military households, but infringed on the interests of the military landlords; The registration of untouchables was to the detriment of the interests of the slave owners. Naturally, it will be resisted.

The county officials elected by Xinquanquan are all from these families, so they are from the prefect and below. No one is willing to do this kind of thing, even if they want to play the board, they all cover each other and forcibly delay the progress of Wu Weiye's work.

Wu Weiye was so scared that he had nightmares all night. He knew the rules of the East Palace, once the progress was delayed. The inspections and reports to be written are a series of endless papers, and they are all ironclad evidence for future convictions. As a role model, he doesn't want his career to end here, especially since he has been beaten for a while before.

"Uncle Zhong, you go to Guide Mansion and help me find Chaozong to ask for advice." Wu Weiye finally couldn't sit still anymore and called the old servant beside him.

This old servant is an old family member of the Wu family, and he is well versed in general affairs, and he was only sent to take care of Wu Weiye in the first few months. is called the master and servant, but in fact, he is half a master, and it can be regarded as Wu Weiye who took advantage of the loophole of the East Palace to ban private individuals.

Uncle Zhong had already touched the relationship between the various sects in private, and when he saw that the young master finally opened his mouth to ask for advice, he said: "Young master, even if you ask Hou Gongzi about this matter, you are helpless." ”

"What then!" Wu Weiye was so anxious that he had a mouth ulcer, and when he bit his tongue at this time, it was even more painful.

Zhong Bo said: "These local wealthy families have already been ventilated, and even those county officials don't take you seriously." There are also people in private: I don't know how long Da Ming can stay here......"

"What!" Wu Weiye jumped up: "There are still people who dare to say such rebellious words!" ”

"Yes," Uncle Zhong said leisurely, "so now there is no hurry to set up an account, the key is to be powerful." ”

"Liwei? How to Liwei? "Wu Weiye has heard of the horror of Shandong's purge, almost every house is closed, but if anyone is caught out by someone, it is used as hard labor, and it is terrible. It's just that he was the prefect of Laizhou at the time, and the county officials did the tiring and dirty work below, and Laizhou was the place where the Son of Heaven was stationed, so it was still "harmonious".

"The old slave has already found out what Hou Gongzi and Liao Gongzi did." Uncle Zhong stepped forward and whispered: "First use the servants of the family as the police, recruit the homeless and the broken houses for inspection, and then ......" Uncle Zhong raised his palm, pressed the blade downward, and a fierce color burst out from his cloudy eyes.

"This ...... Doesn't it hurt the peace of heaven? Wu Weiye's heart beat faster unconsciously.

"I heard that the guillotine in Kaifeng Mansion is bloody every day." Zhongbo lowered his voice and said: "The entire Kaifeng Mansion, but all Zhumen, must be the home of linen and filial piety. ”

"Liao Xing is so ruthless!" Wu Weiye was shocked again.

"There is a way to break the county order of the family, and the mansion of the door is destroyed, especially in the current troubled times, if the young master is benevolent and does not need to repeat the canon, I am afraid that the top will have to use the recanon." Uncle Zhong persuaded: "When the time comes, no one in the Huaiqing and Weihui Mansions will be able to escape, and even the young master will be planted in." ”

Wu Weiye was a little tempted. He was someone who had been "educated" by the crown prince and certainly could not make a second mistake. Since Liao Xing and Hou Fangyu didn't care about being ruthless, even if they had the same example, it was at best a matter of work ability, not an attitude problem.

While the crown prince pays attention to ability, he is also very concerned about attitude.

"I'm afraid that the imperial history will impeach ......" Wu Weiye still has some worries in his heart.

"His Royal Highness deliberately did not arrange for the Sentencing Envoy to settle in the place, in addition to the lack of manpower, I am afraid it is also to give the county officials a chance." Zhongbo persuaded.

"It's too late to let the family send the family now." Wu Weiye was completely moved, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Young master, you don't need to come from home, you can first interrogate the prisoners sent by the counties to commit bandits." Zhong Bo said: "The old slave heard that a few of them were local historians and head hunters, and they became rebellious military attaches after surrendering. This kind of person is a snake on the ground, and he can act at the opportunity, not a broad person, if the young master gives them a way to live, they will definitely do things for the young master. ”

Wu Weiye hesitated: "If these people are against ......"

"If you really have the courage to rebel, you would have dragged people and horses into the grass a long time ago, and you would be tied to the prison?" Zhongbo asked rhetorically.

Wu Weiye finally made up his mind, cleared his throat, and said, "I'll interrogate these criminals, change their clothes, and ascend to the court!" ”

Uncle Zhong saw that his young master was holding a hard breath, and he was afraid that he would break up overnight, so he hurriedly ran out to give the order to open the hall.

After half an hour, the officials lazily lined up and stood up, proclaiming "mighty".

……

Li Sanli is the head catcher of Hanoi County, Huaiqing Prefecture, and he thought that he was in a humble position, and he couldn't find out if he surrendered to bandits and other things, so he could meet the Ming Dynasty without any obstacles. Who knew that Wang Shi didn't pay attention to it at all, as long as he was wearing uniforms, all of them were locked up.

He thought that this time he would have to take off a layer of skin if he didn't die, who knew that after a simple pass, the new prefect would actually pass him to the second hall. swept away the previous official shelf, and asked about local miscellaneous matters with a pleasant face.

Even a fool knows that this is a new official who wants to find a local snake to be a minion!

"The villain is willing to serve the master!" Li Sanli firmly grasped this sudden opportunity, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, sincerely grateful to the new master for rescuing him from the fire pit.

Wu Weiye sat up straight, smiled silently, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: It doesn't seem to be any difficulty. (To be continued......)
