Chapter 22: The Reaction of Lan County Officials
Ma Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart, this could never be said.
Although this old man has served as the previous chief, he was directly appointed by the political secretary, and he belongs to the governor's office of the Yellow River, so he is not in the same system.
It is this main book, the general leader of Lan County's large and small river affairs, water conservancy decrees, and water conservancy construction.
In addition to the county order, Lan County is the most unoffending person.
Now the king of Lancheng mobilized 100,000 people to go into Nanshan to cut down trees, which alarmed 17 officials in the entire Lan County.
Look at the vast and dense crowd below, with all kinds of machetes, saw blades, and even people with kitchen knives into the mountains.
The head is as big as an ox.
"My lord, what should I do, why don't you wait for the new magistrate of the county to come?"
Lord Bo roared, and none of the more than a dozen chief officers present answered, and Ma Chen also looked at Liu Jiang without answering the question.
Lan County is now in charge of all matters by the county governor Liu Jiang.
So, what to do and get an idea!
"I don't know when the county order will arrive, but the matter here can't be delayed, or, first report this matter to the above, let the above get an idea?"
Liu Jiang shook his head and let out a long sigh.
The King of the Blue City mobilized 100,000 people to cut down trees without saying a word, and the fastest person who ran by the time they reacted had already arrived at Nanshan.
That's enough to say a lot.
More seriously.
The king of the blue city bought people's hearts in Lan County, and bought people's hearts in front of them.
What to do.
"Annoying ball is dead, why is there a prince who is good, you say, we manage the government affairs of Lan County, but the prince can also manage the fiefdom, isn't this a power conflict."
"We will issue a decree today, and tomorrow the King of Blue City will issue another decree, won't Nalan County be chaotic."
"It's infuriating that there is no specific meaning above, what we control, no matter what, how to manage, there is no accurate regulation."
"If I want to say it, I blame you, and get off the horse, you look at it now, the consequences are coming, it is really in the name of building the palace to cut wood, one move is 100,000 people, blatantly order the people of Lan County, or make a decision as soon as possible, wait until the beginning of spring, the king of Lancheng promised to reward these people with 20,000 fields, but in addition to those who got the rewards, don't the rest of the people give the field, can they give the field, where does the field come from?"
"If we stop it at this time, then our county government will be completely inseparable from the king of Blue City."
Many officials also complained about their grievances, and when they saw the people under their jurisdiction cutting and distributing money indiscriminately without consent, and earning the 100 yuan, they felt that their heads were as big as oxen.
"In that case, let's go back, ask Lord Shizhou first, and then make a decision." Liu Jiang said conclusively.
Ma Chen and the others all nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with this way of handling.
But the master next to him stopped doing it.
Ask for instructions, deal with it, how can there be a result of this without seven or eight days, even if it is to wait for the handling opinions to come down, then it will still be implemented, but these 100,000 people are now indiscriminately cutting and distributing in Nanshan.
Even if you cut down a tree in Nanshan, you will be convicted and imprisoned, let alone agitated 100,000 people.
When it subsides in ten days and half a month, Nanshan will be cut down.
"No, before asking for instructions, you must first order the Blue City King to stop the felling." The old man blew his beard angrily and glared, wanting Liu Jiang to stop the Blue City King from indiscriminately cutting down.
"Cui Shicheng, if I stop it, it's naturally easy to say if I agree, but what if the King of Blue City doesn't agree?"
"Do you want this official to send out officials to detain the King of Blue City?"
"Or, say that the King of the Blue City is rebelling and let Lanzhou Wei suppress the King of the Blue City?"
"Use your brains, don't do it for the sake of Lanxian County, we can't control the prince's head, even if we stop it, do you think that just with the more than 100 wine bags and rice bags in the palace, we can restrain the king of Lancheng?"
"To put it mildly, people cut off our heads, and even the political envoy has no way to convict and ambush the King of Blue City."
Liu Jiang was also upset and irritable, and couldn't help but get upset, and after that, he flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Let's go, the matter of Nanshan, wait for the notice from above, and then decide." ”
"Liujiang, Liujiang, good, good, good, you don't dare to go, the old man goes." The lord Bo Cui Shicheng was also enraged, and he was furious, and rushed down the mountain with his sleeves flicked.
These people, one by one, are vying for power and profit, where have they thought about future generations.
Cutting down Nanshan is the foundation of the survival of future generations, benefiting only one side and harming all directions.
Cui Shicheng and everyone immediately parted ways, and then rushed down Qiyun Mountain and came to the edge of Nanshan.
In the distance, I heard a buzzing chatter.
"Do you think we really only need to transport the wood to the Blue City Palace, and we can get a hundred yuan?"
"There shouldn't be a holiday, there's nothing to do anyway, it's idle to be idle, get one and go back to see the situation first."
"It's not good to say, although the weather in the north is like this, I heard that Cheng Laosan of Chengjia Village in Fengyang won the first place, and the rewards have not been distributed until now."
"That's ten thousand hectares of fertile land, a hundred ploughing cattle, if you can get it, then you will be a real landlord in the future."
"Shhh
"What nonsense, chop down the tree, there is no axe, the weather is cold, you talk the most."
"Old Seven, climb to the top of the treetops and tie this rope, don't look at it when the time comes, it will be a big trouble to kill people."
"Cut it quickly, cut it quickly, the tree is not ours, you just need to cut it down and send it over to get a hundred wen and make a lot of money."
There were such voices everywhere in the mountains, and a few young and strong four or five men were cutting around a one-man tree, and two strong laborers began to cut down.
At the beginning, more than 10,000 pine trees were being cut down at the same time.
On the mountainside, in the valley, at the foot of the mountain.
There is no need for him to guarantee that according to this cut, it will take a day to level the pine wood on the sitting, and there will be no problem at all.
Dense wooded areas are rich in precipitation and groundwater, especially in the mountains and forests, and large vegetation mountains.
After so many years of research, the main reason for the formation of more than 30 rivers is that there are large areas of pine trees in Songgen Water and Nanshan, which will produce pine root water in the ground and emerge underground in low-lying places to form small streams that will not be broken.
When the streams in the forest flow to the lower ground and converge, a perennial river is formed.
This is the main reason for the formation of the Yuanchuan River and the Leitan River.
The pine forests here must not be destroyed.
"Stop, stop it all for the officials, you can't cut down the pine wood here, you are committing a crime, and whoever cuts down a pine tree will be convicted and punished as hard labor."
In a hurry, the lord Bo Cui Shicheng snatched the long knife in the hand of a middle-aged man who was cutting down a tree, and roared at the surrounding people.
"What are you doing, old man, quickly return my knife, for the sake of your old age, let you go."
The young man who was robbed of the knife was still angry, but when he looked up, he saw that it was an old man who was older than his father, so he stretched out his hand and asked for it kindly.
"I am the lord of Lan County, and now I tell you that you can't cut down trees here."
Cui Shicheng had no intention of returning the knife at all, and shouted at the surroundings with the knife in place, trying to drown out all the voices in the noisy crackling sound and persuade the loggers to go home.
But this is completely useless, except for more than a dozen people around the prime of life, no one else has the old man Bo, the bird master.
"What is the master thin or not, I haven't seen it, return my knife to me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." The prime of life asked for it again, it was really for the sake of the old man's old age, otherwise he would have fallen down early.
"You're breaking the law by doing that." Cui Shicheng also saw that he couldn't move, so he wanted to persuade the prime man in front of him.
"I don't know if I'm guilty of breaking the law, anyway, the work that the King of Blue City sent us for this matter, a piece of wood is a hundred yuan, don't bother me to cut down the tree, return it quickly, otherwise I will be really rude to you." The prime of life is already on the verge of breaking out, and he is trying his best to restrain himself.
"The King of the Blue City is also breaking the law, he can't do this." Cui Shicheng roared resentfully.
"Damn, don't be ashamed, I don't care who you are, if you have the ability, you can go and tell His Royal Highness the King of Blue City, it's crooked here."
The strong man scolded angrily, stepped forward and grabbed the old man's wrist, and snatched the knife back.
"Get out, let's talk endlessly, Lao Tzu chopped you with a knife, you officials, you are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, you don't dare to go to His Royal Highness the King of the Blue City, come here to trouble us, really when we are good to bully, right, Lao Tzu tells you the truth, Lao Tzu is still in the countrymen of His Majesty today, afraid of you?"
Cui Shicheng was not afraid at all, reached out and grabbed the strong man's hand, and said angrily: "You, you can't cut down trees anymore, you have violated the law of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Let go." The strong man said angrily.
"Don't let it go, unless you ......," Cui Shicheng said stubbornly.
But before he finished speaking, the strong man shook his arms and roared angrily at the woods: "Unless your uncle, eldest brother, second brother, this dog official is a corrupt official at first glance, or we will slaughter this thing with one sword." ”
"Kill your uncle, sixth brother, tie up the person, and when we go back, take it back and hand it over to Lord Fang." There was an echo from Cui Shicheng's shouting that he didn't get from his throat in the forest.
"Gotta do it!" The strong man responded, and several young men around him swarmed over and tied up Cui Shicheng, who had no resistance at all.
"You don't ...... Not! Cui Shicheng wanted to continue to persuade, but he was gagged.
Splatter!
Splatter!
Splatter!
The strong man chopped the tree with his knife again, and scolded angrily as he fell, "If only there were saw blades, this thing looks so fucking laborious." ”
Cui Shicheng's appearance did not affect half of the logging army.
The noisy sound of cutting trees can be heard all over the mountains.
"Lord Fang has an order, it is forbidden to light open fires in the woods, violators, behead!"
"The battalions supervise each other, and the whistleblowers have merit."
"Everyone must return before dark, there is no mistake, each battalion is responsible, if there is a loss of people, the battalion is jointly punished."
"In case of fierce tigers and beasts, the gong will be struck and passed on, and the battalions will help each other."
There was a sound of patrol warning in the forest.
Outside the South Mountain.
Fang Xiaoru stared at the mountain forest with an indifferent face and said: "Send that Lan County Lord Bo back to the Lan County Mansion and tell Liu Jiang that if you want to convict the King of Lancheng, unless you sue the royal court to Fengtian Palace, even so, you may not be able to convict a prince of the dynasty." ”
