Chapter 634: The First Round
The establishment of Zhili Road did not immediately change the situation of the 18 prefectures of Zhili.
Or in a sense, the Zhili realm has been a relationship of mutual disagreement since a long time ago.
Because of the critical material of salt on the ground of Lianghuai, a huge businessman who is rich and rivals the country has been created, and he has the appearance of being the only one in the business world.
The area of Suzhou and Hangzhou is full of famous families, and the thriving handicraft industry has created a number of merchants known for their exquisite skills, such as Suzhou embroidery, which can be called a monopoly industry. In addition, he likes to marry, is keen to make friends, and is good at cultivating the children of the clan.
I felt that all the people outside of Suzhou and Hangzhou were from the countryside.
This is also one of the reasons why for a long time, the imperial court has never wanted to bring together the 18 prefectures of Zhili.
However, once the 18th government of Zhili suffers from external pressure, it will become closely united for various reasons.
Interests have become the driving force that runs through it.
With the establishment of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, and the official order issued by Zou Xueyu to the 18 prefectures of Zhili at the beginning of his tenure, it immediately caused a commotion in the territory of Zhili.
The Governor's Yamen did not hide anything.
As for the content of the three official documents, they were also actively disseminated to the people by the Governor's Yamen.
Today's Daming is like an oil pot, which is being scorched by a fire, and it seems to be thriving, and the prosperous era is coming.
However, when Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili, issued an official document and issued the 18 mansions of Zhili, Daming's hot oil pot seemed to be sprinkled with a bowl of cold water, and it exploded immediately.
There has been no turmoil at the government level, and no matter which yamen it is, it has followed the orders of the governor's yamen in a proper manner to publicize the latest policies.
Then the local government seemed to close the door, silently watching the movement outside the yamen.
Initially.
People thought it was a power struggle within officialdom.
It's just that a few businessmen were dissatisfied with the new policy, and they swore angrily in public that they would never go to the territory of Zhili Road again in this life.
It's just that a few families are crying and claiming that the government is going to take away their land.
The chaos is not big, and it often happened in the past.
If you deal with it in the same way as before, it will only be the government that comes forward to suppress it.
But this time, the entire Naoli Road became silent.
……
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
Zou Xueyu's ears were full of noise, and Yu Dalian, the prefect of Yingtian, followed him closely, followed by several officials from the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili.
An errand officer in the yamen trotted to Yu Dalian's side, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and whispered a few times in the ear of the mansion honor, and then cautiously retreated.
Yu Dalian looked up at Zou Xueyu, who was walking in front, and hurriedly followed two steps.
"Governor!"
"Governor!"
Yu Dalian shouted loudly a few times, but there was no response.
He couldn't help but look around anxiously.
This is a private workshop outside Yingtian City.
The things that are made are not artillery or materials needed in the army, but just agricultural tools.
It's either a rake, a shovel, or a sickle.
It's really nothing to look at, and Yu Dalian doesn't understand why Lord Dutai seems to have a soft spot for this place.
It's just the news that I just got, but it makes this Ying Tianzhi a little uneasy.
He gritted his teeth, stepped forward quickly, and stopped in front of Zou Xueyu, who was watching with relish.
"Governor!"
Yu Dalian shouted in a heavy tone.
Zou Xueyu frowned slightly: "Why are you so uneasy?" ”
It has been a few days since he was appointed as the minister of the governor of Zhili, and Zou Xueyu has not done much during this time.
Except for the official document requirements issued by the 18th Prefecture of Zhili at the beginning, almost all of them stayed in Yingtianfu to inspect various workshops, as well as the farm farms outside the city.
No one knows why the Governor, who has taken the lead in seizing power from the 18th Prefecture of Zhili, is so calm, and no one knows what the Governor will do next.
Looking at Yu Dalian's appearance, Zou Xueyu had some guesses in his heart.
According to the time estimate, now is the time to see the response from the prefectures and counties below.
Yu Dalian took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "The merchants under the jurisdiction of Zhili are withdrawing from the prefectures and counties of Zhili, and those who have landed property have also begun to besiege the yamen of the local government to ask for an explanation. Other dead and disabled soldiers of the Northern Expedition were attacked and harassed by unidentified men at night. ”
"Presumptuous!"
With Yu Dalian's explanation, Zou Xueyu's face remained unchanged.
Until Yu Dalian said that there were unidentified people who attacked the homes of the dead and disabled soldiers of the Northern Expedition at night.
Zou Xueyu was really angry.
His face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly again: "Bold! ”
Yu Dalian immediately clenched his fists with both hands, took two steps back and bent down, sincerely afraid.
The subordinate officials who followed the governor to inspect the governor's yamen also stopped one after another, and looked down at their toes.
Zou Dutai has the sword above in his hand, cut first and then play, who dares to provoke him.
Everyone has begun to silently pray for the gang that annoyed Zou Dutai.
I'm afraid that next, someone will be pulled out by the governor to stand up.
The people who were busy in the workshop from the surrounding Zhuangzi who came to do their work also stopped their work because of Zou Xueyu's two angry roars in succession.
The boss's original was hanging in the distance, and he was angry when he saw the governor.
He immediately bent down and stepped forward to his own workers, ready to drive them out.
Zou Xueyu coughed lightly and raised his hand: "You continue to be busy, the official has seen almost the same, and if there is something you don't understand when you look back, I hope the master can give me more advice." ”
Give guidance to the Lord Dutai who is in charge of power?
The owner, who was also a farmer, trembled all over his body and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Governor Tai is serious, if it weren't for Governor Tai's previous appointment as the prefect of Yingtian, where would there be villains today. What the governor wants the villain to do, the villain will do, and he will never dare to delay the governor for half an hour. ”
This is the awe of the small people for the government.
Reverence is good, but if it turns into fear, it is bad.
Zou Xueyu thought in his heart, nodded casually, and waved his hand: "Your family has been delayed today, and the official will leave first." ”
After that, Zou Xueyu took the lead in walking out of the workshop.
The owner of the workshop naturally followed from a distance, carefully sending these yamen out of the workshop gate.
From afar, he looked at the backs of Zou Xueyu and others walking towards the official road.
The expression on the face of the owner of the workshop couldn't help but show a little annoyance.
"I don't know what the damn things are, they actually make Dutai angry, all of them are dog things that forget their mothers when they are full!"
After a few curses, the owner of the workshop felt as if he couldn't help much, so he could only kick the dirt under his feet in annoyance.
Then he muttered silently and secretly cursed the dogs he didn't know, hoping that the governor who would make their family and the surrounding Zhuangzi people live a good life could punish those dogs as soon as possible.
On the official road.
Zou Xueyu's face had returned to its original state, but Yu Dalian and the others were still cautious.
Lord Dutai seems to be thinking about the situation that the Governor of Zhili, Yamen, is currently facing.
Consciously being the number one follower under Lord Dutai, Yu Dalian, the prefect of Yingtian, followed closely behind Zou Xueyu.
After Yu Dalian thought for a while, he spoke in a low voice: "Governor, if this matter is not handled well, not to mention the opinion of the court on the governor's yamen." At the local level, because the departure of the merchants will inevitably bring about a shortage of all kinds of goods needed by the people, which will lead to resentment among the people. ”
Zou Xueyu stopped and turned around.
Yu Dalian, who was still thinking about how to deal with the current situation if he was Lord Dutai, didn't pay attention to it, and almost threw himself into Zou Xueyu's arms.
Yu Dalian stopped a little embarrassed and moved to the side, but his eyes were staring at Zou Xueyu suspiciously.
In Zou Xueyu's sight.
On the realm of Tianfu, the people are still busy in the fields.
Everything around is so vibrant, even in this season that has already passed the end of the year.
"What else did they do?"
Zou Xueyu suddenly opened his mouth, which made Yu Dalian sigh.
After noticing his distraction, Yu Dalian hurriedly lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "It is an indisputable fact that the businessmen are leaving, especially those giant businessmen with complicated industries, not only are people gone, but even the goods they have prepared are already on the way to leave. Xia Guan thought that in order to stabilize the people's hearts, they could issue a document to intercept these goods that had not yet left Zhili Road. ”
"It's stupid." Zou Xueyu immediately cut it into the air, and then explained: "If the government is so strong, it will only sit back and watch the government's misdeeds, which will trigger the fact that these businessmen have left." ”
Yu Dalian paused and whispered, "That'...... Just let them go? ”
"Did the official say that he wanted to let them leave so freely?" Zou Xueyu asked rhetorically.
At this moment, Yu Dalian will not be able to do it at all.
Neither do you stay, nor do you go.
So how is the Governor Yamen going to deal with these businessmen who have already spoken out and no longer make a living in Zhili?
Zou Xueyu didn't let Yu Dalian doubt for too long, and he had already spoken: "This official was previously in the governor's yamen and issued official documents, but he required that the goods brought by the merchant should be taxed according to the price when entering and leaving the direct subordinate? ”
Yu Dalian was stunned again.
Is there such a thing?
The accompanying governor Yamen official stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Back to the governor's platform, there is indeed this rule." According to the previous official documents, all merchants entering and leaving Zhili Road must pay rated taxes. According to the goods carried, the taxable amount shall be levied according to the proportion of the category and the value of the goods. ”
The three-point tax is not much, and the goods of one hundred taels only need to pay three taels of silver.
But the fifty percent of the tax is too much, and the goods worth one hundred taels have to pay fifty taels of silver.
Zou Xueyu snorted: "Since the government has clearly informed it, then let's do things according to the regulations." At present, the governor's yamen has not long been established, and the officials are not yet familiar with the errands. The Governor of Zhili Province Yamen wants to ask the tax collectors under the command of the Zhili Provincial Branch of the Taxation Department to set up customs outlets on official roads, waterways, and trails on the border of Zhili Province, and collect the goods tax and money of the merchants who come and go according to the categories and proportions set by the Governor's Yamen. ”
You can go, but before you go, you have to pay the money in accordance with the regulations of the Governor of Zhili's Yamen.
Zou Xueyu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he revealed wisps of murderous aura.
He doesn't want to ask the Son of Heaven Sword to kill people now, but that doesn't mean that he can't let those who dare to resist take off a layer of skin.
Yu Dalian just wanted to shout at the moment.
The governor is wise.
Then Yu Dalian reacted, I am afraid that when the governor issued the official document, he had already thought that there would be such a day.
He was just waiting for the merchants to leave.
But what if the merchants paid their taxes and left?
Yu Dalian couldn't think of what kind of trick he was going to do next.
But Zou Xueyu was still arranging things: "The Governor of Zhili Yamen wants to use the mouth of the tax division of the Zhili Road Tax Division of the Tax Office to send a notice to the Governor Yamen in the county and township under the rule of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili, and is telling the people that the Governor Yamen is clearing the acres of land and only checking the land of more than 100 acres. If there is a civil complaint against a large family for encroaching on and stealing good land, the governor's yamen should take over the case. If the government is unable to ask for the people's life, the official will bring the people to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Zhili Dao's first round of confrontation was resolved unscathed.
Yu Dalian's heart doubled his reverence.
Although the Governor Yamen has not yet taken action, he knows that as long as the matter is explained, these things that are happening in Zhili Dao will be resolved one by one immediately.
Even, the governor can take advantage of this matter to continue to dig deeper, collect the authority of the 18 prefectures of Zhili, and give those people a heavy blow.
Yu Dalian smiled happily, arched his hand and said, "Governor is wise!" This time it was widely publicized to the people, and the governor's yamen only inspected more than 100 acres, and the local people were bound to stand with the governor. After all, ordinary people, who can have 100 acres of land, but those greedy gentry, the so-called famous families, are the 10,000 acres of fertile land in their families! ”
Those people in the local area of Zhili Province want to use the people to provoke confrontation between the people and the governor's yamen, so as to make the governor's yamen jealous, and even let the court see the local turmoil brought by the governor's yamen.
But Zou Xueyu's hand immediately divided the local people from those people.
He was so open-minded to tell everyone in the Zhili Dao realm who he was targeting.
Ying Tian's prefect seems to have seen the scene of those people being slapped in the face.
Zou Xueyu was not happy.
This is just the beginning, and those people below Zhili Dao can do things like the departure of merchants and provoke the people to oppose the governor's yamen.
Who can be sure that those people will have a backhand.
Right now, it's just a temptation.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Ying Tian City.
Maybe you should go to the palace, please play His Royal Highness Taisun.
