During the Ming Dynasty, the six provinces of Shandong were divided into three provinces in the west and three in the east, the three provinces in the west have Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and the three prefectures in the east are Qingzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion.

The eastern three provinces have mountainous areas and inconvenient transportation, and the western three provinces are close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which is prosperous for a while.

Among them, Jinan Prefecture leads 4 states and 26 counties, with a population of more than 1 million and tens of millions of acres of cultivated land.

Licheng County is one of the most prosperous counties in Shandong, and Lu Tianzhi, the magistrate of the county, led a bunch of blank account books and three 'Xiucai masters' and felt dizzy.

Measuring the fields is something that you don't encounter once in one or two hundred years, but his mother encountered it when he was the magistrate of the county.

He also knows these three people, one is a lifter, two are talented, although there is no official position, and the court does not use these people to suppress local officials, but they are under the orders of the emperor, and there are things that can be reported directly to Zhang Ge Lao, so where can he put up a big shelf.

What's more, there is a local person in Licheng County, and I think I must have taken this into account when arranging it.

After arriving at the county office, he went directly back to the backyard and threw the person to the master.

The three of them looked at each other, but they should have felt something.

"It seems that Master Lu is not very welcome to wait for me."

"Expected. It's the welcome that's weird. ”

"And what do we do now?"

"Rest for the night first, and invite someone to the court tomorrow, we can't run into the people's fields and trample on them, we will be beaten to death."

said that Lu Tianzhi would be worried after he went back.

His son, who had been busy these days, had been busy these days, and when he saw him back today, he immediately went to his study.

"Dad, I heard that a Qin mission is coming?!"

"Yes. Not only did he come to a messenger, but he also brought heavenly soldiers and generals from Beijing. And then there are these booklets. ”

His son stepped forward and flipped through it slightly, "All the names signed?" ”

"When the old court is holding wine, don't sign? Who can get out? ”

Needless to say, the intention of the signature is understandable, "So, is it really about to start?" ”

Lu Tianzhi tightened his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "I really don't know what the imperial court thinks, I must poke this hornet's nest." However, there was still time for all, and the holy decree was put on for twenty days, and it was reported to all parts of the hidden field. Let's not come out during this time and take a look at the situation. Let's see what the Xu family will do. ”

The Xu family covers an area of 100 hectares, and before Lu Tianzhi became the magistrate of the county, the family was majestic in Licheng County. The iron yamen, the flowing water official. Sometimes he, the county magistrate, can't say anything.

"They'll remember to look for their father. Some of the encroached fields still lack some land deeds. Do you give this face? ”

Lu Tianzhi thought about it carefully, but he was actually very entangled.

He will continue to mix in this Licheng County in the future, and the people sent by the court will always have to leave.

"It's okay to kick people with this kind of knot, I'm afraid of kicking the iron plate. It's not impossible for us to help him with this, but this time there is a lot of fanfare, and if the original owner of the field makes trouble, it will be difficult to do. ”

"So ......"

Lu Tianzhi stroked his beard, "As long as he can get these people and make sure that no one talks too much, we will help him." ”

The so-called undercurrents are all following the flow of interests.

In the mansion of the Xu family in Licheng County, they actually know very well that no one can rely on anyone at this critical time, and the county lord who eats and drinks well on weekdays will not carry any thunder for you at all.

The premise of helping you is not to have an accident, which makes the head of the Xu family can't help but scold a few words of cunning and treacherous.

The son of the Lu family, who came to pass the word, was more direct, "Fortunately, the original owners of the fields occupied this time are all small people with no identity and no background, and it is easy to seal their mouths, at most it will cost some silver." ”

This sentence is rich in connotation, is this to spend money to seal the mouth, or to kill people?

There is really a cunning Lao Tzu, and there is a cunning son.

"This matter is not easy, there have been a lot fewer bandits outside in the past two years."

If you do it yourself, the risk is very high.

The son of the Lu family doesn't care about these, "There are also small risks, and everyone can rest assured if they return those fields." ”

Actually, it's not impossible.

But they are used to bullying ordinary people, and they have not seen the coffin, and there is no moment of repentance.

……

……

This is the case in Jinan Province.

The situation in the eastern three prefectures is even more tense.

Zhang Xuan has only been in Jinan for a while, and these people have been sent away for less than seven days, and various news began to gather to him one after another, which made Zhang Xuan frown.

He found Liu Jian and said, "Xixian Gong, take a look at these. The magistrate of Licheng County pretended to cooperate, but in fact he couldn't avoid people, and if there was something, he would blame the surveyors of the imperial court, and they all wanted them to come forward. Zhang Pingzhi County, said that public opinion was boiling, and he had no choice. For the good of the people, how can public opinion boil? It was obvious that someone was secretly playing tricks behind the scenes, but he let it go. There are also evergreen and feicheng...... The magistrate is good, but he is not worthy of enough personnel! I don't know whether to report this or not. ”

The emperor also said that the conditions in Shandong were the best, and he trusted Liu Jian so much, but the current reality was far from ideal.

Liu Jian was not surprised, "Zhangtian will find out the hidden field, and the people don't know the reason, just look at this one, and they are naturally full of vigilance." Officials from all over the country are reluctant to pierce this day, and they are also eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. However, any new policy, there will always be various repetitions in the early stage, and Zhang Ge doesn't have to be in such a hurry, he always has to grind. Grinding to the period of half a year, grinding to the white paper to fall black letters, how many means? It's always time to hand things over. ”

Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while, "But the matter is as urgent as fire, and the emperor will not ask at all for half a year." How will you report back then? ”

"Tell the story as you want. Zhang Ge Lao doesn't have to think about the lower officials, the false names of the lower officials are not as good as the major matters related to the country's society. ”

"Xixian is righteous and righteous. In addition, the younger generation is a messenger this time, with the emperor's order, and the responsibility is heavy, according to the current situation, if you don't move, some people are afraid that it will be impossible. When the time comes, please also ask Xixian to forgive the offending crimes of the juniors. ”

"The elder of the pavilion is serious, how dare the lower officials."

Soon, two men dressed in brocade came to the governor's yamen.

Their faces were somewhat impressed.

Now Jinyiwei's public activities in Shandong are also a warning signal. If anyone makes a difference, it will not end well.

Zhang Xuan saluted and walked out and walked in front of the two.

"What's the matter?"

"Deputy Ma wants his subordinates to report to the elder. Three surveyors who went to Qidong County, they were attacked by bandits. ”

Zhang Xuan's eyebrows suddenly rose, and his voice was immediately ruthless, "Who did it?" Are there any casualties? ”

"One person was slightly injured, no one died. Now Deputy Envoy Ma is on the track. ”

In just a few days, before things officially started, some people couldn't help but make such a heavy hand.

Then you can't say anything like that.

"Okay, all of these methods have been used." Zhang Xuan is also ruthless, "This official is going to go to this county to see which family's Tian is not good!" Let's go and ask Gonggong Gao to ask him to help! ”

After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he changed a lot of systems, but he did not change the article of guarding the eunuchs.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had a special relationship with the royal family, it seemed that they all knew that their net worth and life were absolutely tied to the emperor, although these people must be greedy for money, or have other minor problems, but this is secondary.

The eunuchs supervised the hundred officials, mainly the military attachés, who, over the course of their long evolution, had become in fact the emperor's main pawns in controlling the local armed forces.

When he first ascended the throne, someone also wrote a letter to persuade him to remove, heh, how could that be possible.
