In mid-October, Wen Tiren and others arrived in Chengdu as scheduled.

At the same time as they arrived in Chengdu, Sun Chuanting's staff Zhou Xuan handed over the seal and power of the Sichuan political envoy.

Sun Chuanting did not go to greet Wen Tiren and the others, but asked Zhou Ji and Wu Youxing to greet them.

He was so tired that he didn't want to waste his energy and mind on these twists and turns in the officialdom.

Wen Tiren and the others didn't care, in the final analysis, Sun Chuanting was also a hero who ran the northwest and ruled the world, and with the Northern Army Governor's Mansion and the Qi Wang's Mansion to support him, no one would not let him come to greet him.

It's best if he doesn't come forward, and everyone can drag their time to deal with him.

Wen Tiren pushed the right of trial to Zhou Yanru and asked Zhou Yanru to make the first bird.

Although Zhou Yanru knew Wen Tiren's thoughts, he really needed to make a move to attract Zhu Youzhen's attention.

Therefore, Zhou Yanru led the team to settle in Chengdu Mansion, and Lu Wenzhao successfully got out of the trial situation with the sentence "The matter is in your lords".

He knew that Sun Chuanting would be fine, and as for Liu Yuyou and Pan Shiliang, although he wanted these two people to die, but Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, so he couldn't act rashly.

After getting out, he began to lead people to rectify the hundreds of households in Sichuan, and Zhou Yanru was free of Lu Wenzhao's constraints, so he could naturally easily deal with eucalyptus.

He first discussed with Wen Tiren, Li Banghua, and Li Yongzhen to collect incriminating evidence, and then with the consent of the three of them, he slowly sent Tang Qi to collect incriminating evidence.

This back and forth, and when Tang Qi returned to Chengdu with the oral evidence of the crimes of the people from all over the country, it was already the middle of winter.

Zhou Yanru did not try Sun Chuanting, but first interrogated more than 600 officials of all sizes, and tried more than a dozen people every day, and the questions asked were extremely cumbersome.

But even so, this group of people was basically sentenced to exile in Southern State.

Zhou Yanru dragged on for a good time, and when the trial of more than 600 officials was over, more than 7,000 Sichuan officials appointed by Zhu Youzhen also successfully arrived in Chengdu Prefecture, and brought with them the holy decree that Li Banghua was canonized as the political envoy of Sichuan.

Li Banghua was easily removed from the trial situation by Zhu Youzhen in this way, which was something that no one expected.

"Thanksgiving ......"

The holy decree sent by the capital was heavy in his hand, Li Banghua was not happy in his heart, but Zhou Yanru was happy in his heart.

Lu Wenzhao and Li Banghua are both out, and it is much simpler for him to protect Pan Shiliang and Liu Yuyou.

"Political envoy Li Bu doesn't need to be polite, there is also an edict issued by the Qi Palace, please ask Li Bu to govern Sichuan in accordance with the decree."

The eunuch in Beijing sent the edict to the palace of Qi with both hands in the yamen of the political secretary, and Li Banghua took it when he saw this, while Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, who were standing behind, couldn't help but look at it.

They all wanted to know what good strategies the King of Qi had sent to govern Sichuan, but Li Banghua did not open it in a hurry after getting the decree, but accepted the decree and turned to Zhou Yanru and the others:

"Since the old man has been appointed as a political envoy, the matter of trial will be handed over to the two of you......"

"Political envoy Li Bu is reassured." Although there is a three-way fight in secret, in front of the eunuch who transmits the decree, there must still be politeness.

"Since the will has been delivered, then our family will retire first......" The eunuch sent a return salute, and Wen Tiren and the three of them hurriedly returned the salute.

It's just that halfway through the return salute, the eunuch suddenly remembered something, and explained:

"By the way, His Royal Highness said that to seek a country, you must first learn to seek a life......"

After that, the eunuch turned around and led the people away, leaving only the three people who were stunned in place.

After a while, Li Banghua reacted, turned his head to look at Zhou Yanru, chuckled, and went to the backyard with the order.

It was the place where Sun Chuanting rested, and he was going to go, obviously to discuss the matter of the order with Sun Chuanting.

As for Wen Tiren, when he heard this, he also glanced at Zhou Yanru vaguely.

Zhou Yanru was finally happy for a while, but was beaten back to his original form by Zhu Youzhen's words.

Lu Wenzhao retired, Li Banghua was transferred, Zhou Yanru thought that Pan Shiliang and Liu Yuyou could be saved, but Zhu Youzhen let him stop the fire with a word.

Seek the country first, the gentleman seeks the country, and the villain seeks the ......

Those who seek the country should worry about the world first, and those who seek themselves should benefit themselves first......

Those who plan wisely are far, and those who plan are deep......

Only when it is far-reaching can it respond to the heavens......

Zhu Youzhen's words made Zhou Yanru incomprehensible, he was thinking that Zhu Youzhen asked him to be a villain and killed Pan Shiliang and Liu Yuyou? Or let him get out of this muddy water?

It's easy to be a villain, if he can get on the throne, he Zhou Yanru will have no problem being a villain, but the problem is that Zhu Youzhen didn't give him any substantive promises.

As for withdrawing from this muddy water, it is even more impossible, he withdraws on the front foot, and the party on the back foot will liquidate him.

Besides, is this really only said to him?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru glanced at Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren said that he was leaving.

Without waiting for Zhou Yanru to speak, Wen Tiren turned around and left the hall, leaving Zhou Yanru alone in the hall.

With puzzlement, he also returned to his bedroom, and at the same time, Li Banghua came to the backyard where Sun Chuanting was resting with the edict and the words of the eunuch.

"In my opinion, even if Liu Yuyou and Pan Shiliang don't die, they will be exiled to Nanzhou."

Sitting in the hall of the main house, Li Banghua said his thoughts to Sun Chuanting, who was sitting next to him, and Sun Chuanting was dressed in cloth and holding the decree of the Qi Palace.

Li Banghua has already read the content of the order, and as for the things he said about Liu Yuyou and Pan Shiliang, Sun Chuanting was indifferent.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are everywhere, and they cannot be killed endlessly, and they cannot be killed.

The affairs in Sichuan certainly made him disappointed in officialdom, but killing a Liu Yuyou and Pan Shiliang could not change the overall situation.

What he was more concerned about was the Sichuan governance policy issued by the Qi Palace.

Sun Chuanting is very familiar with the handwriting on the decree, which is Zhu Youzhen's, which means that this policy was formulated by Zhu Youzhen.

As for the contents, first of all, Sichuan Province will be exempted from money and grain for one year, second, it will be checked in the household registration and fields of Sichuan Province, and finally, more than 9 million mu of land will be equally distributed to the people of Sichuan according to household registration.

If this person has one acre of land, then he can only get two acres, and if the other person has no land, he can divide three acres.

In short, three acres is a standard line, and the premise of this land division is to distinguish between rural and urban hukou.

Distinguish the hukou first, and then issue land to the rural hukou, this policy is no problem, even Sun Chuanting can't find fault with it.

The reason why it is necessary to distinguish between urban and rural hukou is not because of the need to divide the population, but to prevent the wrong implementation of policies when dividing land.

With the "rural hukou" in the household registration book, there will be no operational mistake of the gentry colluding with the officials to make the peasants prove that they are peasants when the land is divided.

There are about 4 million peasants in the whole province of Sichuan, and the land in their hands is about 400 to 8 million mu, barely surviving.

If another 9 million mu of cultivated land is distributed this time, then under the policy of satisfying the three mu of guaranteed land, it will basically be able to reach the policy of four mu per capita.

Three acres can ensure that people live, and four acres can ensure that people live easily, and taste meat from time to time.

Therefore, when this policy was seen here, Sun Chuanting already felt that he had no regrets.

He killed the gentry in a rage, and exchanged the Sichuan people for decades of happiness, which was worth it in his opinion.

However, he underestimated Zhu Youzhen, because after the household registration and land division policies, there is also a policy related to the whole country.

[Abolish all kinds of miscellaneous items related to rural areas, Sichuan Province as a pilot, and levy ten endowments for land]

Seeing this policy, Sun Chuanting couldn't sit still, and Li Banghua also said happily:

"If this strategy is implemented in the dynasty, I am afraid that the land endowment of the dynasty will increase a lot......"

Ten percent is a 10 percent levy, which seems like a lot, but in this era, it is already a great benevolent policy.

You must know that the fields under the Imperial Horse Supervisor are all ten to three, and it stands to reason that after this land division, the people should also be ten to three, but now it has been changed to ten to one, that is, at least dozens of catties of grain per mu of land.

An acre of land is dozens of catties, and after the current land division, it may be four acres of land per capita, which means that the imperial court has exempted the people from at least nearly 200 catties of grain.

These 200 catties of grain can feed one more child.

In the face of this policy, the gentry and powerful are estimated to be very entangled.

If miscellaneous items are exempted, then they can pay more than a dozen catties of grain per mu of land, but the problem is that the imperial court has to check the acres and household registration, so that the fields they conceal cannot be hidden.

However, the gentry are also divided into large and small, for the small gentry and strong, their fields are originally small, and concealing them means concealing dozens of acres.

However, if this policy is implemented, they will be able to exempt nearly 10,000 catties of grain from hundreds of acres of land, far exceeding the output value of dozens of acres.

Therefore, the small and medium gentry will support it, but the big gentry will probably oppose it.

It's just that if this field endowment is further reduced, then even the great gentry will probably support it.

But if such a policy is implemented throughout the country, then the Tian Fu of the Ming Dynasty will indeed decline as Li Banghua said.

"At present, the military tuntian of the country and the DPRK has exceeded 130,000,000 mu, and the private land has 74,000,000 mu."

"Jun Tuntian used to pay the field tax according to 30 percent, and the national dynasty increased the stone field tax by nearly 70 million per year."

"Although the land is given 30 to 1, and only 26 million stone rice and wheat are paid, most of them are actually miscellaneous, and all kinds of miscellaneous items are handed over, totaling about 7 million taels, and each mu of land actually needs to pay more than 20 catties of rice and wheat."

Speaking of this, Li Banghua breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"If the military tuntian and the people's land are merged, then the 870 million mu of cultivated land will be handed over to a field endowment, and the field endowment will be able to collect at least 10,000,000 stones."

Tens of thousands of stone fields are indeed an increase compared to the current policy implementation, which may have 96 million stones at the peak of the Ming Dynasty.

From whose hands did this increase of tens of millions of stone rice and wheat come from? Answer: The gentry is a great gentry.

Ten to one, exempt from miscellaneous, this policy is for the small gentry in Huili, and it is the wealth of the big gentry that is plundered.

Zhu Youzhen is engaged in division, and Sun Chuanting can see it, but I am afraid that this policy will be impeached by hundreds of officials as soon as it is announced.

After all, the small and medium-sized gentry do not have the right to speak as well as the big gentry, they want to reduce the field endowment, but the big gentry do not want to, and they do not have the strength to influence the court, which is undoubtedly very sad.

But the problem is that if there is one person in the court who supports them, then the ending will be different.

It is inevitable that the taxes of the small and medium-sized gentry will be reduced or reduced, and the taxes of the big gentry, the big landlords, and the big and powerful will be resisted by these three mountains.

But as long as the small and medium-sized gentry pay, the world will not be in chaos, and this is why the Qing Dynasty killed so many gentry without resistance.

First curry favor with a large number of people, then suppress a small number of people, raise taxes, and then wait for the big gentry, big landlords, and big tycoons to be resolved, and then Zhu Youzhen will have to deal with the small and medium-sized gentry and landlords.

How to deal with it, Sun Chuanting is very clear, because Zhu Youzhen told him.

"The gentry receive food in one body, and the ...... in one errand and errand"

Sun Chuanting had the scene in his heart where Zhu Youzhen said this sentence in the northwest, and after this memory flashed, he also let go of the order.

"These policies for governing the country depend on you, Brother Meng......"

Sun Chuanting had something to say because he believed that Li Banghua saw the trap against the gentry.

At present, there are no big gentry in Sichuan, not even a middle gentry, so it is not difficult to implement these governance policies.

But the problem is that Sichuan's affairs are done for the world to see, and if Li Banghua does this, then he ......

"Don't forget, Boya, the old man is also from a poor background!"

Li Banghua talked about his origin, and Sun Chuanting also remembered the other party's background.

Speaking of background, Li Banghua's background is worse than Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting's family was at least a hereditary military household, acting as the royal palace guard, but Li Banghua's family belonged to pure rich peasants.

At that time, Li Banghua went to Beijing to take the exam in cloth clothes, went to Beijing on foot, and couldn't even afford to sit on a donkey cart, although he was an official for more than ten years, he did not collect much money, although his family had hundreds of acres of land, but if he really wanted to divide it, he was at most a small and medium-sized landlord.

Therefore, this policy set by Zhu Youzhen has no class contradiction with Li Banghua for the time being, and he can even be exempted from miscellaneous silver of dozens of taels of silver because of this.

However, Sun Chuanting knows very well that there is no contradiction now, which does not mean that there will be no in the future.

When the big gentry are cleaned up, Zhu Youzhen will definitely promulgate the policies he said, and at that time, the small and medium-sized landlords and gentry in the government and the opposition will not be spared.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting didn't know how to face Li Banghua and how to face the children of the Sun family of his clan.

He suddenly felt that he had become an accomplice in suppressing his own family.

"There is nothing wrong with the order, the old man will implement it according to King Qi's orders, Boya, you should also have a good rest, it is estimated that Wen Tiren and they will judge you next month."

Li Banghua still didn't know Sun Chuanting's entanglement, he picked up the order very calmly, obviously preparing to implement the governance policy set by Zhu Youzhen.

Even if he knew that these policies would cause him to be attacked by a group, but after seeing Sun Chuanting's treatment, he thought that if he did what Zhu Youzhen said, there would probably be no problem.

On the contrary, if he doesn't do it, maybe the official position of the Sichuan political envoy will be someone else's turn.

Therefore, Li Banghua is ready to study how to operate, especially how to arrange the more than 7,000 officials.

With calmness, he left Sun Chuanting's courtyard, but Sun Chuanting looked at his back and was secretly entangled......

Not long after Li Banghua left, Zhou Jian entered the courtyard with a thick book.

He walked into the house and saw Sun Chuanting looking at the door in a daze, and deliberately stretched out his head to take a look, but following Sun Chuanting's line of sight, he only saw the closed courtyard door.

Turning around, he laid the book on the table, sat down and made himself a cup of tea, and at the end of his glance at the water stains of the teacup on the table, he knew that someone had visited.

"Governor, the matter has been explained clearly to the new officials of the Political Division, and this time His Royal Highness is really generous, transferring all the officials in Sichuan in one go, and then sending more than 7,000 officials."

"However, there are more than 7,000 people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to manage Sichuan, which has more than 4 million people, and it is estimated that more officials will have to be added in the future."

Zhou Yi said, drank a cup of tea by the way, and filled his own teacup and Sun Chuanting's teacup.

"How is the exam for this year's Xu Officials?"

Sun Chuanting came back to his senses and cared about the more than 1.3 million Xu officials in this year's annual examination, while Zhou Chuanting shook his head when he heard this:

"Of the more than 1.3 million officials, only more than 70,000 have passed the examination and have become second-grade officials."

"More than 70,000 people ......" Sun Chuanting repeated, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down again and said:

"Counting these more than 70,000 people, the number of officials in the imperial court is only 5230,000, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of officials."

"His Royal Highness should be to check the rule of officials, and Ning Lack of mother is indiscriminate......"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhou Ji added tea and expressed his opinion:

"The imperial court should have done this a long time ago, maybe among the 5230,000 officials, there is still a large group of officials who are indiscriminate."

"Rather than waiting for them to be caught for corruption, it is better to let them eliminate them on their own."

"I heard from the officials of the political department who came from the capital that the imperial court is already preparing to make regular governors from next year, and it is estimated that the day of the Imperial Procuratorate will soon change."

"However, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really full-time anti-corruption, then you don't need to be a governor, and you can concentrate on side affairs without this errand that offends people."

Zhou Yi was very embarrassed about Sun Chuanting's current situation, but he was also glad that Sun Chuanting stepped down from his official position as governor.

In his view, governors are the ones who offend people, and they are the kind that offend people to death.

He and Sun Chuanting have been patrolling since last year, but in just a year and a half, all the major parties in the court have been offended by them.

Therefore, Zhou Yi is a little worried about his safety at the moment.

Sun Chuanting was dismissed, but he was not.

Although he was Sun Chuanting's staff, he also served as a temporary official of Bo, the head of the Jingluo Mansion.

Now that Sun Chuanting has been dismissed, what he is going to do has become a problem.

Thinking of this, he was silent for a moment, but Sun Chuanting saw his concerns, so he spoke:

"Auxiliary minister, now that the Imperial Mansion has been revoked, you have no official position, I have already given His Highness half a month ago, please transfer you to Jiaozhi as an official."

"This ......" Zhou Meng didn't know what to say for a while, saying that he was naturally moved, but he was not willing to leave Sun Chuanting.

After all, he has been on an errand under Sun Chuanting for five years, not to mention that Sun Chuanting is a popular person in front of King Qi, and it is difficult for him to accept just being transferred.

was transferred, if Sun Chuanting couldn't think of him in the future, then he would at most sit in the position of participating in politics from the fourth grade in his life.

But if he follows Sun Chuanting by his side, and when Sun Chuanting ascends to the cabinet in the future, then he can at least become a provincial political envoy.

"I still don't want to leave the governor, I only want to serve the left and right, and I don't want to seek an official position."

Zhou Yi was still reluctant to leave Sun Chuanting, and he said:

"Governor, you have returned to Shanxi, but you also need someone to do things at your side, so that you can respond to the revival of the imperial court at any time."

"That's ......," Sun Chuanting sighed, and then waved his hand and said:

"In that case, then I'll have the handwritten book back."

"As for you also preparing to prepare, just now Li Bu's political envoy spoke, it is estimated that Wen Tiren will judge me next month."

"You go back to Shanxi in advance, you don't have to stay here and wait for me."

"Yes......" Zhou Yan saw that he could stay, and he didn't dwell on it anymore, but nodded, got up and said goodbye.

Watching him leave, Sun Chuanting glanced at a few teacups on the table, not knowing what to think.

It's just that today's visitors are destined to be not only two, and not long after, Wu Youxing knocked on the door in his usual clothes.

Sun Chuanting looked at the other party standing at the door and knocking, and could only say helplessly:

"But brother, why do you have to be obsessed with etiquette?"

"Hehe......" Hearing Sun Chuanting's angry words, Wu Youxing smiled and walked in.

However, as soon as he entered the house, he did not pour tea or speak, but took out his medical bag and put it on the table, signaling Sun Chuanting to put his hand up.

Sun Chuanting was helpless, but he honestly put his hand on the medical bag.

Seeing this, Wu Youxing checked his pulse, and after a while, he withdrew his hand and said:

"My body is fine, so I can leave with peace of mind."

"Leave?" Sun Chuanting frowned, while Wu Youxing smiled:

"I was originally sent by His Highness to patrol the world with you, and now that you are no longer governor, the Tai Hospital will naturally call me back."

"This time, I brought out more than 600 disciples and healed millions of people, but this trip was not in vain."

"Will you just serve as a physician when you go back?" Sun Chuanting asked with concern, while Wu Youxing shook his head with a smile:

"Not ......"

"I heard that Tai Hospital is preparing to rectify the Huimin Pharmacy in the world, and build 21 "branch medical schools" in the two Beijing and 19 provinces, and thousands of students who have graduated from Yanshan Medical College will be assigned to teach, and at the same time take over the Huimin Pharmacy in the local area to treat the people. ”

"This is a good thing...... Sun Chuanting couldn't help nodding in approval after listening to the cause and effect, while Wu Youxing sighed:

"Originally, 321 "branches" should have been established in the 321 prefectures under heaven, and nearly 10,000 graduating students were delegated by the way. ”

"But it seems that there are too many things to do in the imperial court next year, and the scale has been reduced by ninety."

"Fortunately, the branches in each province are large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to study in them."

"According to His Royal Highness's intentions, it is estimated that in six years, when more than 100,000 students graduate from the medical school, they will be able to take over the world's Huimin Pharmacy in one go, and every county will take over and take care of it, and the people will only charge money for medicinal materials to see a doctor."

Wu Youxing is a doctor, so he naturally looks at things from a doctor's point of view.

However, although he was talking about medicine, Sun Chuanting also knew that after this matter was promoted, the people's treatment environment would be much better, so he sighed:

"This is indeed a meritorious thing......

"Yes...... Wu Youxing nodded, and then smiled:

"At the Armaments Institute, I came up with something called a microscope, which was very helpful for my research on the "boils", and if I could understand the boils, the people would not have to worry about the plague. ”

"Therefore, I have come to say goodbye to you this time, and I will return to the capital early tomorrow morning."

"But you and I don't have to be hurt to part, it's only more than six hundred miles from the capital to Zhenwu, I can take my disciples to practice medicine in my spare time and visit you in Shanxi."

Speaking of this, Wu Youxing stood up, and Sun Chuanting also stood up.

He sent Wu Youxing to the door, and Wu Youxing also said, "Just send it here." ”

"Boya, you are more difficult than me, I fight with plague and disease, if I am defeated, I will die, and you are in the officialdom, there are enemies all around, if you are defeated, you will die."

"I'm in the Tai Hospital, except for being able to say something for you when I meet King Qi and Long Live you, I can't help you else, so I can only rely on yourself......"

Wu Youxing looked at Sun Chuanting, but after only a year and a half of being governor, the thirty-six-year-old Sun Chuanting's temples were already white.

This is a deficit caused by too much work, and it can only be made up slowly.

"You take this prescription, your body is empty, you can only make up for it slowly, and I can only do this for you."

Wu Youxing stuffed a prescription into Sun Chuanting's hand, Sun Chuanting looked at the prescription in his hand, and had mixed feelings in his heart, so he could only make a fool of Wu Youxing:

"Brother again, there will be a period ...... later"

"There will be a period later......" Wu Youxing returned the salute, and then sighed and left the courtyard gate.

Sun Chuanting stood at the door and watched his back, and only then did he turn around and walk into the courtyard until he disappeared.

Seeing this, the brocade guards at the courtyard gate immediately closed the courtyard door.

Although everyone knew that he was fine, the treatment was no different from that of a prisoner.

Even if he pretends to show the gentry of the world, this is also a stain on the end of his act of patrolling the world......
