They all thought that after this Hong Chengchou left Linqing with the servant guards, he went directly to the north and went to Beijing to report on his work and be promoted, but everyone didn't expect that this Hong Chengchou went north for a day and then turned back to the east, but he went to Jinan Fucheng, Jinshi was born as a senator, this is a standard Wenchen, and he takes a sedan chair in and out of the car, and he takes a boat when he travels far, but this Hong Chengchou can get up a fast horse, and the servants and guards are also on horseback, and they can travel long distances, which is what a martial artist can do.

Although it was judged that Zhao Jiajun would not make a move, Hong Chengchou still pretended to go north, and then suddenly turned back, but through this change, it was proved that no one was following behind, so everyone slowed down and rushed to the side of Jinan Fucheng.

Xuzhou Northern Expedition to Beijing, forced the imperial court to negotiate peace, and then held a military parade in Linqing, this Shandong ground is not a big tomorrow, Jinan Mansion is the center of Shandong Province, it is said that the person is panicked, but in fact it is very calm, everything is as usual, it is not strange to think about it, Zhao Jiajun allowed to keep the official office Yamen, then no one wants to change the current stable order, but the officials issued fewer orders, the officials and servants maintain practice, and when they encounter something that is really uncertain, they often go to places like Yunshan to ask.

Even if there is no peace discussion, the local officials are maintained, and now the Zhao Jiajun is not ready to interfere too much, so naturally there will be no twists and turns, but the people are breathing, and all kinds of harsh taxes and apportionments purely to fill their own pockets have become less, and the relevant people who are presiding over are also thinking about their own future

When Hong Chengchou's master and servant entered Jinan City, he noticed that the city gate was quite lively, and the common people were in and out of this nothing, what really attracted people's attention was a team of cars and horses, and at a glance they knew that it was a team of rich and noble people's families, seeing that the car was full of luggage and goods, and the servant aunt followed the convoy, they could guess that this was going to move, and they could hear the guards at the city gate discuss, it turned out that these were the families of officials in the city or something.

"Don't ask, don't you see people from Xuzhou on the other side of the city gate?" Hong Chengchou stopped his personal action, and in addition to the officers and soldiers guarding inside and outside the city gate, there were more than a dozen capable men looking around.

"Have you heard, King De's family will move out the day after tomorrow, and Xuzhou is too lazy to bother with them, let them leave by themselves"

"What? The king of Tianheng and their family just crossed the border, and King De is also leaving? ”

There are many people crowded at the city gate, and the idle chatter of pedestrians has aroused Hong Chengchou's interest, he simply walks slowly, wanting to hear what these people say, the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family are all over the world, the vassal king, the county king, and then the generals and lieutenants below, etc., in a sense, it is also a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king does not live in the fiefdom, and the people have an intuitive concept of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, maybe there will be sadness? Listening to the tone, it is not like it

"Good walk! Those bastards have made our Jinan miserable, they don't give money to buy things, they break into other people's homes to molest women, and they don't have to pay for their lives when they kill people, so go back today to make a pot of wine and drink! ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled dumbly, this reaction is expected, Hong Chengchou is well-read, in his impression, this King De can be regarded as a virtuous king, although there is nothing outstanding, but I have not heard of any evil deeds that disturb the people and hurt the people, I didn't expect that the local evaluation is still this evaluation, which reminds Hong Chengchou of passing by Jining, there are people over there who say that Lu Wangfu was killed, without the slightest sympathy, but a little happy.

Hong Chengchou quickly smiled, he looked at the convoy of those rich and noble families, no matter the master and servant had a look of panic on their faces, their wealth is the wealth of the Great Tomorrow, now Shandong is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they don't know how long their wealth can be maintained, and their own identity and status are also from the Ming Dynasty, how long can they maintain it?

Hong Chengchou has already cultivated a self-cultivation city government in the officialdom, no matter how he feels in his heart, he can't see anything unusual in his expression, his personal entourage and guards are also as usual, from Zhejiang to the north, after crossing the Yangtze River into the south of Zhili Jiangbei, I thought that I would see something different, see the pathos of the decline of the country, see the sentimentality of the gentry and the people, see the people are not living, see the martial arts rampant, but only see peace and prosperity, everything is as usual.

Even in Shandong, Hong Chengchou went to Beijing to take the exam and then went to Zhejiang to take office, this time and again by boat to take the canal, all through Shandong, naturally know what Shandong is like, compared to the Fujian where he was born, Zhejiang, South Zhili and North Zhili along the way are poor and withered, but this time, it is obviously a big improvement, even the boatman said that now there is no need to be so nervous about sailing in Shandong, and there is no need to worry about being robbed by someone when docking, because the bandits are almost extinct. Not to mention that there are no more beggars and hungry people on both sides of the canal, and the desolate fields have begun to be cultivated, which is clearly a sign of recovery.

The entourage and the guards began to sigh a few words, but Hong Chengchou lost his temper, everyone didn't talk about it, why they were angry, they also knew that this Shandong was poor and withered under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and after being occupied by Xuzhou thieves, it began to prosper, which is really embarrassing.

Jinan Mansion is the same, if it is not for the city gate to listen to people's discussions, see the rich and noble people move away, who can realize that this Shandong provincial city is changing hands, how to look at this city is under the Ming Dynasty, the slightest sense of Xuzhou thieves are stationing, and even you can't feel it, the fast horse three days away from Linqing, is holding a big parade of Zhao Jiajun.

"That's how the officers should be used" Whether he wanted to or not, Hong Chengchou still had to sigh and admit it.

Of course, the magistrate knows what is going on in the yamen, and the official errand who takes the imperial court in the compilation, no matter what position he has in the official office, he is a big man outside, with dozens or hundreds of white servants around him, searching on the streets, and getting up and down in lawsuits and disputes, and when collecting rent, he is like a tiger and a wolf.

And in Nanzhili, Jiangbei and Shandong, Hong Chengchou saw groups of three or five messengers in the city, patrolling and observing on the streets, blowing whistles or banging gongs whenever something happened, and the patrols everywhere would flock to them, and the officers were walking on the streets all the time, and they naturally had to go up to solve problems when they encountered them.

When he first saw this, Hong Chengchou sneered in his heart, thinking that these errand servants who were not making up were silverfish, and they were bandits with a name on the ground, and they would definitely collude with the ruffians and others when they went to the streets, and the disaster would be even worse.

However, Hong Chengchou stayed in Jining for two nights, and on the first day he saw a few errand officers who regularly inspected the streets, but the next day he had a new face, and the temperament of the newcomer obviously did not look like he was born in the yamen, but there were some military generals who were brave and strong, and Hong Chengchou who was interested sent someone to inquire, this cause and effect is not a secret, and the people on the street know it.

Zhao Jiajun found the local yamen through Yunshan Xing and the like, and asked the local government to ensure normal operation, and the government affairs that should be done could not be delayed and delayed.

So many errands, such a big place, how can the people of Xuzhou be so well-informed, the wind and grass on the street can be known, those secret secrets can't hide from them, so how many eyes and ears Zhao Jin has raised, everyone is amazed, just look at the little change day by day, but slowly, everyone feels that the street is clean, it is convenient to do things, and there are not so many things to worry about.

If there is any dissatisfaction, it is nothing more than that the silver that should be paid cannot be paid, the original many taxes and apportionments are gone, and the servants do not dare to extort at will, but the silver with clear entries such as quiet streets, fire prevention, anti-theft, and public sharing still has to be paid, as long as there is a face and a stall to do business here, then there is a silver to spend, and the rich and poor families who live in the city also have to pay a management fee, which makes many people scold behind their backs, buy a house and live here, and you have to pay a managed silver, is there any reason for this?

However, these silver rules are clear, collect your voucher to you, and never charge more, compared to the previous unjustified apportionment routine and extortion, it is much better, at least pay less, and it is the original errand that collects the money, but behind it is the strong Zhao Jiajun, who has to weigh the consequences of not listening, the gentry and people here in Shandong are different from other places, they have heard too much about the power of the Zhao family army in Xuzhou, and naturally they will not touch the tiger's buttocks.

"If the servants are dismissed all at once, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city immediately, these officials do not know what kind of storm they can set off, Xuzhou is to let them follow the rules of Xuzhou, in this process the survival of the fittest, the rules of retention, the unruly layoffs, and then put their own people in the sand"

"This Zhao Jin looks reckless and scheming, but he is very old in doing this thing"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh with his relatives, but there were a few thoughts that were just hidden in his heart, and he didn't say much, for example, Xuzhou didn't care much about the civil and military generals who occupied the new places, and he didn't recruit or drive him away, let you fend for yourself, others saw that this was Xuzhou Zhao Jin didn't want to tear his face, and he had to maintain it vaguely
