Chapter Eighty-Three: Crisis Relief and Benevolent Government
After many inquiries, Grasshopper knew that Wang Zhi was an ordinary supervisor of the imperial history, and besides, the official position of the supervisor of the imperial history was originally low, and he did not find anything unusual about him, if he insisted on saying anything different, that is, Wang Zhi was a filial son, a great filial son.
Wang Zhi is lonely early, his mother Lin is a widowed mother raised son, which is needless to say, fortunately Wang Zhi is angry, and has become the supervision of the eighth grade, Wang Zhi is also the most filial to his mother, but it is a pity that Lin worked hard in his early years, and his health has not been good, Wang Zhi in order to regulate Lin's body, often go around to find famous doctors and medicines.
Knowing the specific situation of Wang Zhi, Qiu Wu went to gossip with Yan Shang for a long time, Yan Shang had just returned from Xining Road at that time, and Qiu Wu went to him to learn about the affairs of Xiguizhou, they were of the same age, and they could talk about it.
Yan Shang was actually not familiar with He County, and the place they passed through did not have He County, but he knew that He County was most famous for Huangjing and Yinshan tea. When Qiu Wu heard that He County was most famous for Huang Jing, he knew that what Shen Ning said was not wrong, and Wang Zhi was the best place to start.
Within two days, Wang Zhi listened to Dr. Hu's An Hetang say that the yellow essence in He County, West Guizhou is the most famous, it is a rare turmeric yellow essence, and the natural medicinal effect is also the best, and it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of fatigue and lack of essence, which is in line with Lin's conditioning requirements.
Taking advantage of the fact that the exam had not yet started, and there were not many things in Yushitai, Wang Zhi took leave and went straight to He County, to be precise, Huang Jing who went straight to He County.
Who expected Wang Zhi to go to He County, and did not find Jiang Xinghuang Jing, he found a very serious situation, the people of He County all hated the county order Zou Jinggan, he also saw the evil deeds of the Zou people on the street, as the sensitivity of the supervision of the imperial history, Wang Zhi realized that this He County was abnormally wrong, and Huang Jing did not dare to look for it anymore, and quickly returned to Jingzhao.
Wang Zhi asked Yang Jianrui for instructions in the imperial history, together with the supervision of the imperial history Xu Zhong and Deng Zheng quietly went to He County, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the Zou family, and collected the illegal things and evidence of Zou Jingqing and the Zou family.
After Zou Jingqing's matter came out, Gu Zicheng broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he almost made a big mistake, it seems that there are still mistakes and omissions in the administrative records of foreign officials in Beijing and the people's feelings, and he does not dare to be careless, and he examines the situation of foreign officials in Beijing together with the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and finds out the cases of Henan and Hubei.
Therefore, Shen Zejing's next waiting and sending to the province, Shen Ning was not worried at all, but began to prepare for the New Year.
The matter of He County, on the surface, seemed to be a small wave, which was easily avoided by Shen Zejing and other officials of the Examination Division, but the risks hidden underneath were secretly resolved by Shen Ning and the grasshoppers. If there is no rebirth, no experience that Shen Ning has experienced, then all this will move forward according to the trajectory of the previous life.
Woe to it, it's impossible to say.
In December, Jingzhao began to gradually become lively, ordinary people are busy with the New Year, but the excitement of Jingzhao officialdom has nothing to do with the New Year, they are concerned about the affairs of the three princes, the three princes who have served as the supervisor of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate for nearly a year are about to return to the capital.
After being initially deterred by Gu Dazu, the three princes changed their strategy in Anbei, on the one hand, they stepped up to curry favor with Gu Dazu, on the other hand, they used money to buy Anbei's generals, and they also vigorously promoted his "benevolent government" among the people of Northern Xinjiang - exempting the people of Northern Xinjiang from military household taxes.
The military household tax is a unique tax in northern Xinjiang, which stipulates that in addition to paying the basic taxes, the people of northern Xinjiang must also pay a certain amount of money and grain to support the 50,000 soldiers of the Anbei Protectorate. The military household tax was proposed to Emperor Changtai according to the actual situation in northern Xinjiang, and it has been implemented in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years.
Originally, the people of northern Xinjiang and the nurses and soldiers of Anbei all took the military household tax for granted, because the soldiers of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate were guarding this place precisely to protect the safety of the people in Northern Xinjiang.
But who is Shangguan Yongping? It is the third prince, it is the supervising army, and it is on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol the northern frontier, since he said that he wants to exempt the people of northern Xinjiang from the military household tax, the people of northern Xinjiang also think that it is the meaning of the imperial court. Under the momentum and lobbying of Shangguan Yongping's staff, the people of Northern Xinjiang gradually began to think more, yes, why should the military household tax be levied in Northern Xinjiang, and the 50,000 soldiers in Anbei have the imperial court to supply and pay for it every year, why do the people of Northern Xinjiang need to pay extra money and food to support them? This is obviously a harsh government, and this is the ancestor of Anbei Duhugu who is searching for the people's capital and people's ointment, and fattening his own ambition with the benefit of the people.
Such thoughts accumulate and ferment in the hearts of the people of Northern Xinjiang day by day, and the subordinates brought by the three princes will not bring harm to the people of Northern Xinjiang after they trumpet the tax exemption, so when the Turks invade, the 50,000 soldiers of Anbei will definitely fight to kill the enemy, and the people of Northern Xinjiang do not have to worry about Yunyun at all.
The propaganda of this "benevolent government" has a greater and greater influence, and gradually, the people of northern Xinjiang began to be dissatisfied with the collection of military household tax, thinking that this is not in line with the people's feelings, and finally developed to the point that many people gathered in front of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, asking for the exemption of military household tax, and the people of Northern Xinjiang and the soldiers of Anbei clashed, and the military and civilian sides confronted each other, and the situation was chaotic and critical, but fortunately, Gu Dazu prevented the further expansion of the incident in time, otherwise there would inevitably be turmoil in northern Xinjiang, and the situation would become out of control.
In fact, Shangguan Yongping's idea was very simple, he was intimidated by Gu Dazu and others, and he couldn't buy the Anbei soldiers, and the Anbei Protectorate didn't even put him in his eyes, so he turned his eyes to the 150,000 people in Northern Xinjiang, thinking that he had to start from these 150,000 people in order to open the situation of the Anbei Protectorate, otherwise he would come here in vain.
In the end, he and his staff set their sights on the military household tax, exempting the military household tax, this is benevolent government, 150,000 people in northern Xinjiang will definitely be grateful to him, as for the supply of 50,000 soldiers in the northern Xinjiang capital, he has thought about it, before it was Jiang Bowen who made a hindrance, and now he is the third prince as the supervisor of the army, and the grain and grass of the military department will no longer dare to slack off, this is really a beneficial and harmless decision, except for Xian Maoxin's opposition, the rest of the staff and entourage are strongly in favor.
So the third prince took advantage of the time when Gu Dazu and Zheng Xian led troops to purge the border, and preached his "benevolent government" among the people of northern Xinjiang, which led to what happened later.
