In the garden, spring is warming, and the flowers are already blooming.

Pang Chunlai came over with crutches, and his crutches were more like pathfinders, so as not to tripped over stones and wrestle without seeing clearly.

"Sir, please be seated." Zhao Han helped him make tea.

Pang Chunlai sat down, did not pick up the teacup, and said straight to the point: "Those scholars have been cured, not only Jishui scholars, but also scholars in Luling and Anfu County. The gentry of the three counties are converging, and since the rogues are ravaging Nanzhi, they really believe that you can do it. ”

This statement seems to be very contradictory, and the northwest rogue crisscrosses the south and straightens the south, ripping off another fig leaf of the imperial court. Ji'an scholars think that Zhao Han can succeed, so they really want to take refuge, but why do they need to rectify these people?

Not contradictory!

The gentry tried to steal the fruits of the rebellion, not to overthrow Zhao Han, they also needed Zhao Han to lead, but they wanted to control more power.

Zhao Han asked, "What does Mr. think of this case?" ”

Pang Chun said: "It must be severely punished, otherwise the prestige of the General Military Office will be discredited." The missionaries were sent by the General Military Office and the Datong Society, so what did they want to do? ”

"What else?" Zhao Han asked again.

"No, that's what I'm advocating, and I must be severely punished!" Pang Chun said.

Zhao Han asked Xiyue to send Pang Chunlai away, and brought a teacup again, and soon Li Banghua came in.

Li Banghua looked a little tired and sighed: "Brother Pang, I actually didn't want to argue with him. ”

Zhao Han asked, "What does Mr. Li think?" ”

Li Banghua said: "You should not insult women, let alone female missionaries, but you must not be sentenced to death." Now, the scholars of the three counties have returned to their hearts, and only a few are still suspicious. In such a situation, the scholars of the three counties cannot be allowed to deviate from morality because of a case, and if they can't bear it, they will make a big plan. In my opinion, he should be removed from his post as mayor of the town, ordered to pay compensation for silver, and fined him another 10 acres of land as a warning. ”

"I see." Zhao Han said.

Sending Li Banghua away, Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh.

Whether it was Pang Chunlai or Li Banghua, Zhao Han felt very disappointed.

Pang Chunlai stood from the perspective of the general military government and the low-level scholars, and had a deep fear of the gentry class. He insisted on severely punishing the offenders, purely to preserve the prestige of the general military government and to crack down on the gentry who tried to control power.

Li Banghua focused on "stability and unity", and still felt that the upper-class scholars were more worthy of reliance, and these people would be needed to govern the world in the future. Now that the scholars have returned to their hearts, they should take the opportunity to speed up the development and quickly occupy the entire Ji'an Mansion.

In this, there is also Li Banghua's hard work, and it was his painstaking personal persuasion that made the scholars of the three counties gradually recognize Zhao Han.

However, Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua didn't take the victims seriously!

What if a good prostitute is a missionary? It's not that I haven't been slept with, and it's not a big deal to be slept with again, but the other party is a lifter.

Chen Maosheng was immediately invited in, and when they met, he said excitedly: "You must be hanged according to the "Da Ming Law"!" Is a prostitute good or not? If a woman of a good family is insulted, look what these scholars say! Also, that's a missionary, and these bastards don't take missionaries seriously! If this person is not hanged, what will the mission do in the future? ”

"Good." Zhao Han expressed satisfaction.

Chen Maosheng finally looked at the problem from the perspective of the victim, instead of focusing purely on the power and the overall situation like Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua.

In other words, Chen Maosheng can empathize, he has slept with the gentry countless times. If any gentleman dares to sleep with him now, this guy must be desperate.

In Chen Maosheng's view, good prostitutes also have dignity, and good prostitutes do not want to be raped.

Seeing Chen Maosheng away, Fei Chun was invited in again.

Zhao Han asked, "What do you think?" ”

Fei Chun said: "Our grain bank has been built, and several granaries have been repaired. But the landlords who surrendered voluntarily, the grain was not confiscated, which left a hidden danger. It is now February, and the peasants who have divided the land after last autumn's harvest are not starving, but their grain is still somewhat tight. Luling, Jishui, Anfu, and the grain merchants of the three counties are connecting in series, holding grain and not releasing it, wanting to deliberately raise the price of grain in the city, which is also their usual trick over the years. ”

Zhao Han was a little surprised, Fei Chun actually said this.

Fei Chun said: "When Mr. Li presided over the grain business, those grain merchants and landlords still gave face. After Mr. Li stepped down, I took full charge of the grain bank, and these bastards began to mess around. In order to stabilize the price of grain, I put half of the grain stored in the warehouse! The gentry of the three counties were taken away from the land, and they could no longer lend usury, so they could only manipulate the grain market to make money, even if they offended the general military government, they had to do it. The confluence of the scholars of the three counties is the main force with the most food in the family, and this case must be used to rectify it! ”

The butt decides the head, Fei Chun is in charge of the money and food, and what he sees is also the money and food crisis.

Send Fei Chun away, and then invite Fei Ruhe in.

"You know everything, right?" Zhao Han asked.

Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "I know." ”

Zhao Han asked, "What do you think?" ”

Fei Ruhe sneered: "Most of the members of the mission group are from Luling County, and they have taken refuge in our team very early. To bully them is to bully us outsiders, and to bully our brothers and sisters who first got into trouble! ”

Okay, this guy is more direct, and when he comes up, he will make clear the contradiction between the patriarchal faction and the Jishui faction.

Then, Xiao Huan was invited in.

"What do you think?" Zhao Han asked.

Xiao Huan directly took out a document: "The head town, please take a look." ”

Zhao Han flipped it open and took a look, and suddenly sneered on his face.

Zhao Han's political secretary Liu Fang, his younger brother married the daughter of the Jishui Zou family.

Zhao Han's military secretary Huang Shunde and his nephew were married to the Liu family on the outskirts of Ji'an.

The general military mansion experienced Zuo Shan, and his son was married to the Xiao family in Luling.

The General Military Mansion Zhao Mo Huang En, married the niece of the Jishui Zhou family as a continuation.

The list is long, with more than 30 to mention. Among them, Zhao Han's General Military Mansion, there are eight people on the list, and those gentry are simply pervasive!

Once Zhao Han really became the emperor, countless high-level officials would be related to the gentry of the three counties by marriage.

These gentry themselves have many children, and they are also officials under Zhao Han, and they will not have the final say in the entire court in the future?

Zhao Han asked: "Are these people on the list any signs of corruption?" ”

Xiao Huan shook his head and said, "No, the corruption investigation is tight, and no one dares to reach out anymore." However, they married the gentry and received many gifts from the women. Although the gentry had no land, their families had a lot of money and food. ”

"What do you think should be done?" Zhao Han asked.

Xiao Huan replied: "All the people on the list are dismissed!" ”

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "It's too rough." ”

These people really don't break the law, they just marry normally, how can they deal with all of them?

Moreover, it is necessary to give the gentry some hope, so that they can have a hope, otherwise the jar will be broken.

……

Following.

Huang Shunde was called to Pang Chunlai's office, and saluted respectfully: "Director Pang is fine." ”

Pang Chunlai's real position is the head of the Officials Section of the General Military Office, which is equivalent to Zhao Han's official department.

Pang Chunlai smiled and said, "Huang Zhangshu has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard to work for the town." Huang Shunde hurriedly said.

Pang Chun said: "This is a transfer clerk, you can go to Anfu County to do things in the future." ”

When Huang Shunde saw his new position, he was immediately discouraged, and stammered: "I...... I, Master Pang, what did I do wrong? ”

Pang Chunlai sighed: "As the head of military affairs in the town, don't you think you talk too much?" And you also like to show off. The town endured these things, thinking that you are an old minister. You, what kind of relationship does your nephew have with the Liu family? ”

"It was also a mistake to marry the Liu family?" Huang Shunde couldn't understand it at all, he felt that it was a glorious thing to marry a big family.

"I don't have any brains at all, and you are still the military secretary of the General Military Office?" Pang Chunlai sneered, "If you go to Anfu County, you can do things well, and if you do well, you can be promoted, and the town still remembers you in my heart." ”

Huang Shunde left the office in a daze, but saw Liu Fang waiting outside, and it seemed that he was about to be called in to give a lecture.

Huang Shunde suddenly remembered that Liu Fang's younger brother was also married to the big family!

Endless fear struck, and Huang Shunde finally woke up at this moment, and he was involved in the political struggle in a daze.

The resentment in his heart dissipated instantly, Huang Shunde didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to go to Anfu County as soon as possible to take office, so as not to be involved in the disaster. By the way, my nephew is not old enough, he is just married to the Liu family, and he has to go back immediately to dissolve the marriage, hoping that there will be some remedy!

Liu Fang couldn't remedy it, his younger brother had already married the daughter of the Zou family, just when Zhao Han personally led troops to attack Yuanzhou.

Liu Fang really can't cry, he belongs to the low-level scholars, and he can't even pass the exam. His family was very poor, and he relied on his shrewdness and lack of fear of hard work, and he was promoted all the way to become the political secretary of the General Military Office.

If Zhao Han can win the world, Liu Fang can do at least six books, and it is not without a chance to enter the cabinet.

Just because my younger brother married the big clan, his future was directly ruined?

Within one day, all eight officials of the General Military Office were transferred and demoted, and this matter attracted everyone's attention.

The brains are active, and they quickly summarize the common denominators, those are all people who are married to the big clan!

As for the officials outside the General Military Mansion, Zhao Han didn't move for the time being, and he didn't bother to move, just write it down in a small notebook.

His immobility does not mean that the person concerned is not afraid, this signal is too obvious.

The next step is a large-scale divorce of wives, and those who are engaged should quickly withdraw from the marriage. The gentry involved were so angry that they went to the county government to file a lawsuit, saying that it was unreasonable for their daughter to be divorced.

February 28.

Xiao Huan took the officials, followed by Li Zheng and five hundred soldiers, and went straight to the Zou family outside the east gate of Jishui by boat.

"The back door, the side door, all fenced off, no one is allowed to go!" Xiao Huan drank the order.

The Zou family was in a panic, and an old man was helped out: "Master Xiao, this is ...... What's going on? ”

Xiao Huan took out a document: "The General Military Department has ordered the Zou clan at the east gate of Jishui to destroy the policy of dividing the fields." At the beginning of October last year, more than 6,000 acres of land in the clan were donated to Qingyuan Temple as a temple field, and this matter has never been reported to the government! What do you want to do with the Zou family? ”

The old man hurriedly explained: "So that Director Xiao knows that the old man believes in Buddhism ......."

"Don't say more, Qingyuan Temple is also being raided," Xiao Huan sneered, "If you believe in Buddhism, you can live in the same cell with the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, and you can slowly discuss Buddhism in prison!" ”

Qingyuan Temple outside Jishui County is the ancestral garden of the Qingyuan School of Buddhism Zen Buddhism.

Not only that, Wang Yangming was an official in Jiangxi at the beginning, and the first place to give a lecture was Qingyuan Temple, with the Buddha Hall as the lecture hall. Therefore, Qingyuan Temple not only has great influence in Buddhism, but also the unity of Zen and Confucianism is deeply respected by scholars.

Dongmen Zou Clan, the dead Zou Yuanbiao, protégés and disciples are all over Ji'an, and even Li Banghua is a student of Zou Yuanbiao.

What do these guys want to do when they get together?

Even if there is no mess, you have to be a typical bullet pressure!

Seeing that the Zou family was raided, Li Banghua was so frightened that he hurriedly came to see Zhao Han: "Zongzhen, you have used too much force, how can you govern like this!" ”
