Changzhou Mansion.

After the arrival of the sedan chair of the Governor of Yingtian, he was warmly received by the top and bottom.

Jing Shaokui originally did not summon the local officials, but only wanted to talk to Changde, the governor of Changzhou.

To be able to serve as the prefect in a place like Changzhou, Cong Changde also has a bit of a way, his own clan is not obvious, but his father-in-law is the current household servant Huang Youda.

Zhu Hou has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, and the important officials he has appointed are very different from the original history.

For example, in the position of Tobe Shiro, he is biased towards the appointment of professional affairs officers, and he is the kind of person who has actual experience in performing his duties, but is especially opposed to empty talk and clean talk.

This person can be regarded as having his trust, and he also has some status.

Therefore, Cong Changde received the news of Jingshi early, and did not go too far on the road of opposing Qingtian, and rode the wall for half a year.

The presence of the governor this time is also a good opportunity for him to save his life.

And after learning the lessons of his predecessor, as soon as Jing Shaokui arrived this time, he reported the progress of clearing fields in the four counties of Wujin, Wuxi, Yixing, and Jiangyin in Changzhou.

Not only that, but he also reported, "I heard that Zhongcheng arrived in Changzhou Mansion, and the magistrates of the four counties had already arrived in Fucheng to wait, just waiting for Zhongcheng's orders." ”

Jing Shaokui's face was calm, and he just sighed, "The official didn't call them here, why did they wait in Fucheng?" ”

Cong Changde groaned slightly, and said in his heart Why do you ask knowingly like this, now that there is a killing god who catches someone to kill, can you not come.

"If a month ago, everywhere could have been so positive, why bother?"

What Zhongcheng said is extremely true, but ...... Now that this is the case, we can only do our best to save it, and we will not provoke the wrath of the saint again. ”

Jing Shaokui said: "Okay, since you're here, let's see you." Besides, the cabinet elder Zhang Ge sent a letter, no matter how the capital is shaken, no matter how chaotic Jiangnan is, we still have to do a good job in Qingtian. After seeing you tomorrow, you will pick two counties with your official and see the progress of Zhangtian with your own eyes, so you will have some confidence in your heart. Not only the official, but also you. We're all going to have to sign the new scale atlas. If it is not accurate, if it is investigated in the future, it will be difficult to escape death. ”

"Yes!" Cong Changde responded very resolutely.

Following.

The prefects of the four counties are all there, along with the prefect of Changzhou.

To be honest, there are some difficulties in promoting specific matters in the prefect of Sipin and Qipin Zhixian, some of the gentry have a strong official background, and some of the fields are from a certain domain, and they are also unable to do it.

Therefore, when I saw Jing Shaokui, on the one hand, I wanted to report on the progress of Qingtian, and on the other hand, I also wanted to talk about the difficulties.

They can't solve these difficulties, but they are worried that Liu Jin in Nanjing will ignore it and cut off all those who can't advance effectively, which is also quite unjust.

Wujin Zhixian said: "Because of the chaos of the traitorous eunuchs, there is a certain degree of panic in the whole county, and the big households are willing to let people measure the land, and the land with the land deed is also good, even if the actual measurement is five or ten acres more than in previous years, it is not a problem, but it is a reconfirmation." The key is that those hidden fields were originally cultivated by each family, and according to the current rules, these can no longer belong to those families, which is a bit difficult. ”

Scholars still take care of face when they speak.

Jing Shaokui also understood, why was it difficult?

Because this is to grab the land directly from the hands of large households, and it is not five or ten acres, but it may be a hundred acres or even a thousand acres.

Although from a legal point of view, these fields may not have belonged to them from the beginning, some were sacrificed, some were encroached upon, and now they are all named hidden fields, in fact, I don't know how many things are hidden behind them.

But the law is one thing, the reality is the same thing, and some families have occupied these fields for ten or twenty years, or even inherited them from their ancestors, and now they are suddenly going to be deprived of them......

This is not a conspiracy to bully a family,

This is to know that the county yamen is going to oppose the big families in the county.

The so-called difficulty is the difficulty here.

No matter what kind of reform it is, it is not easy to take money out of other people's pockets in peace.

Jing Shaokui replied: "Yesterday, I told the Cong Governor that the cabinet elder Zhang Ge sent a letter, telling us to care about the Qingtian affairs. In fact, the cabinet of Wang Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao have sent letters separately, and there is nothing to hide from them, and they can tell you. They said that they wanted their officials to go all out with Liu Jin and try their best to protect some courtiers who were loyal to the court and His Majesty. And Liu Jin's person, this official has seen it......"

Jing Shaokui's gaze swept over them, "You must have such a mind when you came today, so the official will tell the truth, if you want the official to be safe, you have to give a reason." So that I can argue with Liu Jin. If you don't do such a difficult thing, whichever agrees will measure which, although there is also some progress, but it will still not be able to keep up later, how to protect it when the time comes? ”

Na Wujin Zhixian was anxious, "Zhongcheng, it's not that the lower officials don't do it, it's really a light talk, and the lower officials are more than willing but not enough." ”

"Why is it insufficient? If you can't handle it, someone can handle it, just let Liu Jin deal with it. ”

"Well, this, isn't this a collusion with a traitor?"

In addition to him, Wuxi and Yixing counties are also a little anxious. If the governor were urging them like that, it would be even more troublesome.

They deliberately rushed to Fucheng, and originally had another plan.

This needs to be expanded to say -

In fact, the political struggle has reached this point, and Kiyota cannot do it.

Because these Qingliu officials can not help Liu Jin - he will only kill people, and will not really do things, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, and specific things still have to be done by officials.

It's not that if the heads fall to the ground, this thing will be done automatically.

In this way, Qingliu officials can completely spread their hands together, or deliberately fail to do it. In the end, the emperor saw that you Liu Jin did things without rules at all, so no matter how big the reason was, he would not be asked for him again.

However, this method of political struggle is purely for the sake of struggle and to bring down a certain person, while completely ignoring the major affairs of the state and the vital interests of the people.

At the expense of the people of Jiangnan, the final victory will also be named as a 'sacrifice that has to be made'.

Jing Shaokui fully understood that how many people had hinted at him along the way.

Just like the Wujin Zhixian in front of him, that's it.

The so-called policy and countermeasures are at the bottom, you must threaten with your life, then I will do a little simple, and leave a little more. As for the time that dragged on until the progress couldn't keep up, heh......

Time has been dragging on like this, and Liu Jin's life or not is a matter of two words.

This is called procrastination and waiting for change, and responding with inaction, false action, and formal action.

It's best if something big happens in Jiangnan, and Liu Jin will be self-defeating.

But Jing Shaokui was reluctant to do so.

In this way, how can they not be in a hurry?

"There's one thing we have to make clear." Jing Shaokui's eyes lit up, "I don't know what you think specifically, maybe you think that the harder we work, the more we will help the abuse, but let Liu Jin achieve great things......"

Several people in the hall were told the central matter, and they lowered their heads one after another.

"Zhongcheng, you are serious." Cong Changde made a round.

"It's okay, whether it's true or not, in short, this official doesn't want to hear similar words anymore, and doing a good job in the specific matters of Qingtian is not an order given by this official, but a personal order from Elder Zhang Ge of the Cabinet, and Elder Zhang Ge specially instructed at this time, whose order do you think it was ordered?"

Jing Shaokui sighed in his heart, this thing is really difficult.

Now that there is Liu Jin, and so many people have so many careful thoughts, it is indeed not surprising that they can't push it at all.

In fact, it's not that these officials can't get around, on the one hand, they want to go against Liu Jin, on the other hand, the officials and gentry are indeed one, and some of them have unclean buttocks.

Jing Shaokui won't talk to Liu Jin about these things for the time being, no matter what, he won't betray civil officials to such a point, and he must not be such a villain.

But he didn't think that Liu Jin had his own way.

Now the officials of the DPRK and China are all preventing Liu Jin from hunting and killing the gentry.

It's a pity that a small hole has been broken......

After the emperor replied to the letter this time, Han Ziren, the previous deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, also appeared.

Liu Jin was helped by the two of them at once, and the second wave of his actions was immediately rolled out.

The first is the first wave of prisoners caught.

These people are still very valuable as long as they are tried in the first instance.

It's just that this is a bigger matter, and Han Ziren also has to discuss it with the two fathers-in-law.

Nanjing, garrisoned eunuch's mansion.

Han Ziren came with the case file, he first saluted Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, although Jinyiwei has a special status, but it is not as good as these 'old immortal eunuchs', after all, they are closer to the emperor, "According to the meaning of Gonggong Liu, the lower officials went to interrogate the sixteen gentry and family masters captured in Nanjing before......"

"How? Are their mouths hard? ”

Han Ziren shook his head.

These outsiders, masters, where have they suffered like this, a little fright is to lose their souls, and then they have to be punished, not to mention.

It's just that Liu Jin's entry point is very ...... In any case, it is very tricky, that is, to check the connection between these people and the court officials.

"Among these sixteen people, seven of them have corresponded with officials in the court, and most of the original letters cannot be found, and such letters are burned immediately after reading, but according to their oral accounts, they have expressed in the letters that they have asked the officials to find a way to seek exceptions for themselves, so as to avoid the court Qingtian and protect the family property, and some officials have also agreed, and even relieved him not to worry, saying that the court cannot do this matter."

Liu Jin was ecstatic, and looked at Zhou Yi on the side, but this guy just smiled slightly, looking like a master.

"These are the case files with their fingerprints." Although Han Ziren said it, he always frowned.

Looking at people's faces is also one of Liu Jin's skills, he asked: "Ziren, if you have any worries, just say them together." ”

"Father-in-law, the lower official is worried...... According to this investigation, it will be a shock to the officialdom, and it will even be the first major case of the Zhengde Dynasty. ”

Liu Jin was stunned in his heart, and then glanced at Zhou Yi, a straight thief, a scholar is really ruthless.

"What do you think?" Liu Jin asked Zhou Yi.

This person said softly: "The matter has come to this point, there is no reason to give up halfway, otherwise Your Majesty will know about it, and think that your father-in-law wants to collude with these people." ”

！！

Han Ziren's eyes narrowed, he had never seen this person before, how could he speak so viciously, this time Liu Jin suddenly wanted to investigate the connection between the officials and gentry, was it also his suggestion?

Zhou Yi's words directly hit Liu Jin's heart, "Arrest the officials mentioned by these seven people first!" Then follow the vine and touch the melon, and check it down! ”
