Since the victims outside Kaifeng Mansion at this moment are not the real victims of Henan Province, then those real victims must be somewhere else.

Where are the real victims of the Haemon Province?

This is a question that haunts everyone's minds.

Pei Benzhi did not answer this question immediately, but looked at the fake victims around him with his eyes flickering.

"What does Your Highness plan to do with these people?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Pei County Ling has been in Henan for a long time, and he knows the situation of these people best. Alone in Henan, all things have heard the advice of Pei County's order."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words fell, a soft cry suddenly sounded in the group of officials around him.

The little fat who was standing next to him also looked at him in surprise.

That's what you say.

Pei Benzhi raised his head and looked at his imperial grandson, who was staring at him with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "There was an accident in Kaifeng Mansion last night, and these people gathered outside Kaifeng City today. Thinking that these people don't do it left and right, they are the gentry families around Kaifeng Mansion City, as well as the merchant families who settled around Kaifeng Mansion. The ministers thought that they should be held accountable for the sins of deceitful to the heavens, and the law should be punished with a rod."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, waved his hand, and looked back at Gao Guang and the others: "Do you think Pei Benzhi's conviction like this is decent?"

Gao Guang and the others were already running rapidly in their heads at this moment.

At present, the two yamen of the two departments in Henan, from the political envoy to the inspection envoy, down to the three classes of officials, have all been arrested and interrogated.

And Pan Deshan, who was left in Lanyang County at this moment, and the emperor's grandson asked for his performance to be the minister of the Yellow River, and he was already on the way to Yingtian City.

At present, the most important thing in the entire Henan Province is to stabilize the government first, and then stabilize the people's livelihood, so that Henan Province can reform the old and make it new.

As the emperor's grandson said, Pei Benzhi has been an official in Henan Province for many years, although he has always been a small county magistrate, but that is also because he is not allowed by the yamen at all levels in Henan Province.

A Pan Deshan became the minister of river governance, so it must be necessary to have a chief official of the two departments and yamen who is familiar with the situation in Henan Province to cooperate with Pan Deshan and promote the policies of the imperial court in Henan Province in the future.

Gao Guang just used his breath to think through the whole problem.

Gao Guang immediately spoke: "As His Royal Highness said, Pei County Ling has been an official of Henan Province for a long time, and he is familiar with the government affairs of Henan Province. Now there is a big turmoil in Henan Province, and Pei County Ling, as one of the few Qingliu capable ministers, thinks that his advice is indispensable."

Above the light is very crisp.

It is true that he is now temporarily taking over the errand of the political envoy of the two Yamen of Henan Province, but that is also because the two Yamen of Henan Province were all arrested, detained and interrogated last night.

As for his future career arrangement, in Gao Guangxin's opinion, it is probably impossible to directly serve as a chief official.

At this time, raising Pei Ben's hand can be regarded as leaving a piece of incense in the officialdom in advance.

Really.

After hearing Gao Guang's response, the smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became even stronger, and he looked at Pei Benzhi: "Since Director Gao and the others have no objections, it is up to you to decide how these people should be convicted."

Pei Benzhi nodded, Daming has only been established for less than 28 years, and the government and the opposition have not yet reached the point of a radish and a pit. The sudden rise of the feudal officials is not unprecedented.

….

The young political envoy of Jiaozhi Dao has been a popular figure in the court in recent years. Although he has never made a voice in the court of Yingtian City, and people are still far away in Jiaozhidao, but up and down the court, who can ignore the existence of that young feudal official.

The annual income of Jiaozhi Road occupies the point of two percent of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been steadily improved, with Jiaozhi Road to control the Chengcheng Road, as well as all the new places under the eyes of the Southern Expedition Army.

Although he has been a county magistrate in Chenliu County for many years, he has not become a feudal official of Henan Province.

It's just that Pei Benzhi is quite calm and has never been happy.

After receiving the order, Pei Benzhi stood aside and said in a low voice, "Does Your Highness want to see if you want to open it?"

What are the real victims of the Closure?"

Zhu Yunxi set his sure eyes on Pei Benzhi.

Pei Benzhi nodded knowingly.

Immediately, he went straight to the army leading from Chenliu County and rushed to Tang Bi, the commander of Yu Linwei, the commander of the Shangzhi army outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion.

"I beg General Tang to take his brothers under his command to detain these people first, and after the lower officials drive back to the city, they will issue an official document to convict them of crimes."

Pei Benzhi is completely in charge of Henan Province at this moment, but he has never said it, but he has done so.

Gao Guang and others had no objections, and Zhu Yunxi had no objections.

At this time, no one who can take the initiative to pick up the broken burden of Henan Province will be harsh on these red tapes.

Tang Bi naturally didn't have any opinion on this.

Since he led the army to sit in Chenliu County, he has been with Pei Benzhi, the iron neck of Henan Province, for a long time, and he knows this person's temperament the best.

He's a good officer.

This is the clearest point among Tang Bi's many impressions of Pei Benzhi.

And as long as you have this impression, other things will not be a problem.

Tang Bi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards under his command began to detain and tie up those people disguised as disaster victims in front of the city gate here.

Pei Benzhi here made a gesture of asking for instructions in front of Zhu Yunxi and others.

"Director Gao arranged the manpower left behind in Kaifeng Prefecture, and continued to take over the affairs of the two divisions of Henan Province and the yamen of each division of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the rest of them went with Gu to see the real victims of Henan Province."

Zhu Yunxi dropped a sentence, and Gao Guang and the others immediately arranged it.

After a while, a large number of teams began to leave in groups from Kaifeng Fucheng.

And those who originally intended to arouse public opinion and coerce the imperial court to forgive the officials up and down Henan Province could only leave a meaningless cry of grievances.

……

Kaifeng Mansion is a very boring place, looking up at the sky is like that, the earth is like that. At a glance, the ground is flat all the way to the edge of the sky and the sky merges together, without any ups and downs and waves.

The only undulating place is the Yellow River embankment, which has been built along the course of the Yellow River for many years.

Other than that, Kaifeng Mansion is really a boring place.

It is precisely because of this that many people who lived in Kaifeng Mansion in many times, and whose families stretched for tens or hundreds of years, have built high-rise mansions, and because Kaifeng of the former Song Dynasty was the Kyoto of the Central Plains Dynasty, the government and the opposition liked the Jiangnan style. From Kaifeng Mansion to the present, most of the houses built by the people are also with a Jiangnan system.

….

The Taihu Lake stone, which seems to be mined forever, is the most common thing in Kaifeng Mansion.

In the old days, the Zhao and Song Dynasty royals used the Taihu Lake stone transported by big boats, and ordinary people used the Taihu Lake stones pulled by small boats and carts.

All kinds of trees and flowers should also be built according to the Jiangnan house.

Kaifeng Mansion to Zhongmu County, there is a piece of water land called East Lake.

A place like East Lake, in the entire Kaifeng Mansion, can be regarded as a place with a good feng shui environment.

It is precisely because of the small East Lake that there are four or five luxurious houses around the water.

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

"Although the spring plowing of many good lands has been delayed, I think that the imperial court will be tax-free, so this year is not bad."

"That's probably the case, I heard that the matter of the imperial court's exemption is already in the making, and when the time comes, maybe you can take the opportunity to exchange some Ueda with those mud legs."

Several people walking in the guest seats talked softly and laughed, talking to each other about each family's progress this year.

Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man already dressed in brocade.

The face of a very ordinary man from the Central Plains.

But it is always a scholarly Confucian style, and it is because this family has successively produced several talents and people in the past few years. Although it's not just the main lineage that is unique, it's also counted as other branches, but it's also a family with one surname.

Now, as long as there is one more Jinshi, then you can say a few more words in Kaifeng Mansion.

It is precisely because of this that it has become the most common gathering place for people around East Lake in recent years.

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows what happened in the city last night. The yamen of the two divisions and the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion were taken down by the imperial court. I just want to say that it counts as a reminder and as a reassurance."

The lord opened his mouth, and everyone present stopped talking, and they all looked up and looked sideways.

The middle-aged man continued: "How is the officialdom in Henan Province, it has nothing to do with me and others, what happened outside the city today, I greeted you in advance, if you are still involved, then don't blame me for not reminding me.

We and others just need to remember one thing, no matter who comes to Henan Province as officials, as long as they enter the game, then they have to think about us, and they can't forget our benefits."

"It's nature, it's nature."

"It has to be your long-term vision, if you hadn't reminded you in advance, today's incident outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion, we people would have already gone all out."

"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he becomes an official of Henan Province, we will send white flowers of silver if he is greedy for money, and we will send little ladies if he is lustful. If there is no shortage of them, we will give him a great merit!"

….

"I don't believe that these officials, they can still leave cleanly from Henan Road!"

The middle-aged man was satisfied with this answer, and nodded, "This should be the truth. At the moment, the imperial grandson and those accompanying officials of the imperial court, I am afraid that they will have to stay in Henan Province for a long time, I have heard, the others are starting to be restless, and feel that the officials in the yamen have been arrested, and then they seem to be in some series, intending to do something that everyone does not want to see......

At this point, the middle-aged man stopped and looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads one after another.

"We are all good people, how can we do such a great rebellion?"

"I'm definitely not going to do anything like that."

At this moment, a group of people who had just entered the house outside the courtyard finally rushed over.

The leader of them went straight to the eyes of everyone.

The middle-aged man looked at the person with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Back to my lord, Pei Benzhi, the county commander of Chenliu County, took the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard who had been stationed in Chenliu County for many days to Kaifeng Mansion City today. After arriving, Pei Benzhi took down all the people who were making trouble outside the city today, and now he is leading the imperial grandson and others to the East Lake."

"Coming to East Lake?"

During the banquet, someone suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise.

The rest of the people also looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the throne, and they all showed worried eyes.

"Quick!"

"Let those people go up on top!"

"Tell the people of Zhongmu County to tell them to be careful and not to show their feet."

"If you warn those mud-legged people again, if you dare to squeak in front of the imperial grandson and the superiors, the laborers and managers will bring their mother-in-law and daughter into the courtyard!"

The middle-aged man immediately ordered the person who rushed back from Kaifeng Fucheng, and the man quickly turned around and left.

The man looked at the tense faces of the people present and smiled, "It seems

Today's tea is going to be saved for tomorrow, so you should go home and arrange it quickly, and then follow what has been discussed in the past, don't be in a hurry, the court has not found it in the past, can it be found now?"

Everyone dared to stay at this time, and they didn't even leave a word, so they got up one after another and turned to leave.

……

"The wall is made of mud and straw, and a few beams and vertical beams are pressed down layer by layer with straw, and it is considered a good house."

"Tiles are not something that ordinary people can use."

"If it's raining heavily, it's raining outside the house, it's raining lightly at home, that's a common thing."

On the north side of East Lake, outside a village near the embankment of the Yellow River, Pei Benzhi rode on a horse and explained softly to Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Gaochi and others.

In front of everyone's eyes, there is a village of low-rise houses.

Most of the houses in the village have holes in the mud walls or sunken roofs.

Outside the village, in the endless fields, there are still remnants of the river sediment and debris left over from the Liufu flood.

Pei Benzhi waved his hand to one place: "Over there, it was originally a village, when Xia Guan first came to Kaifeng Mansion, he came here, and the whole village was built after the establishment of our dynasty, but it didn't take a few years, the whole village was gone, and people became tenants of those people. The house is gone, it has been turned into land, but there is no record in the yellow tax book of Zhongmu County."

….

Push the house for the field, and do not keep the yellow book.

This is still the most common method of exploitation.

But it made Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Gaochi and others who witnessed it pale.

Pei Benzhi seemed to be deliberately trying to give them eye medicine today, and with a wave of his finger, he pointed in another direction.

"There is a grave over there, but if you pick up the mounds, you will see that there is nothing underneath. Looking at these new soils, I know that this is for the preparation of the imperial court to help the six mansions this time."

"And over there, even if the naughty boy jumps in, he can't drown people, and the bottom is black mud, and the water is a foot deep and bottomless."

Pei Benzhi said, his expression became a little dark: "This is just the most common method, as long as this land is not considered a field, it will not be able to go to the imperial court's two tax accounts. But in the end, those families still have to be tenants to farm, and the rations are always given."

Zhu Gaochi can be regarded as the first time he has seen it, and it is also the first time he has heard of these things at the lowest level of the Ming Dynasty.

His mouth was open, his face full of incredulity, "How could there be such a thing."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi looked at Gao Guang and the others with unkind eyes.

These people also entered the imperial examination, and they also came up from the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone's faces suddenly showed embarrassed expressions.

Gao Guang whispered, "The minister is in his hometown, and there is no such thing."

Zhu Yunxi turned his head surgingly: "If you can come to Henan Road with Gulai, you will all be checked by Jinyi Wei. Even those of you tenants in their names can eat a mouthful of food. You can't really think that everyone is a sage."

Zhu Yunxi seemed to laugh at himself for a while.

Gao Guang and the others immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground.

"The minister went home today to repair the book, and told the family to clear out the tenants under his name and return the land to the people."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "If you really can't survive, even if you become a tenant, you don't have to buy land at a reserve price, and even force people to sell their wives and children, you can be regarded as a clean white family." It's just that if people want to change back into transformation in the future, they can't stop them."

Gao Guang and the others were already in a cold sweat on their backs at this time, where did they dare to say more, and they nodded their heads one after another.

Zhu Yunxi also doesn't want to play Tai Chi with these people anymore, there are too few people who can be innocent officials, as long as they don't exploit the people and harm the good and poor, they can all be justified.

He turned his head to look at Pei Benzhi: "Tell me, where are the real victims?"

Pei Benzhi thought for a while and looked ahead: "Just in front, if the minister remembers well, there is a river over there, which connects to Yanming Lake in the north, all the way to the Yellow River. This time it's all silted, and the victims are working there to clear it."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Then go over and have a look."

Once again, the team hurried up and hurried over in the direction of the river and Yanming Lake.

After a while, when a burst of shouts came into everyone's ears, a smile appeared on Pei Benzhi's face, and then he became solemn again: "Your Highness, this is here, this is the place where the victims of the entire Kaifeng Mansion gather the most."

After turning over a high slope that can be regarded as a rare one on the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture.

A north-south silted river appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes, and when he looked at it again, countless people on the entire river were cleaning up the silt in the river.

For the arrival of Zhu Yunxi and others, it seems that not many people can arrive.

When everyone had just arrived, there was a noise not far downstream.

"It's time to eat!"

"It's time to eat!"

"Folks, let's put down what we're doing and come over for dinner."

"Today's pickles, fat, and dried rice, the oil and water are sufficient!"

Shredded pork and rice noodles
