Zhao Zhenji, a scholar of Wenyuange University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the crown prince Taibao, soon officially left Beijing to go to the state capitals of Beizhili, and was ordered to inspect and visit.

However, after Zhao Zhenji left Beijing, he treated the local bureaucrats in the same way as Zhang Siwei in the cabinet, neither yin and yang weirdness, nor prestige, but listened carefully to opinions, announced the edict of the Son of Heaven, and explained Zhang Juzheng's new policy.

Rao did not perform well in the second year of Wanli, and Zhao Zhenji did not criticize harshly, but encouraged the main.

If it is due to force majeure factors that do not complete the test, such as sudden natural disasters or their own illness, they also say that they will intercede with the court on their behalf.

In addition, Zhao Zhenji also took the initiative to tell these bureaucrats that Yuanfu Zhang Juzheng taught Emperor Zhu Yijun very well, and the Son of Heaven was not only wise and wise, but also benevolent and generous, and also decisive.

So let everyone rest assured that efforts and difficulties will be seen and understood by the Son of Heaven.

For example, when Zhao Zhenji met Yan Qing, the governor of Baoding, in Baoding, he said: "You are Yuanfu's protégé, and you should do your best to implement this new policy presided over by Yuanfu, because Yuanfu has reported your name to the Son of Heaven and made a guarantee for you in the Son of Heaven, so if you do a good job, the Son of Heaven will remember your merits in the future." ”

Yan Qing was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, and promised to conscientiously carry out the matter of measuring the acres of land.

Even soon after Zhao Zhenji came to Baoding, Yan Qing personally led his troops to supervise the local prefect to clear the land where Marquis Wuqing was sprinkled in Baoding Mansion.

"Don't tell this court that this is the Zhuang Tian of the Marquis of Wu Qing, even the Zhuang Tian of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces must also be cleared!"

Yan Qing really believed Zhao Zhenji's words, believed that the Son of Heaven taught by Zhang Juzheng was a sensible person, and believed that the Son of Heaven would look up to him because he was not afraid of the behavior of the powerful today, and reuse him in the future, so he also shouted at Zhu Chenggui, the head of the mansion arranged by the Marquis of Wuqing.

When Zhu Chenggui heard Yan Qing say this, he had no choice but to endure his anger and let Yan Qing carry out the clearance, only to learn that most of the fields in this Zhuangzi were forcibly occupied by Zhu Chenggui himself in the name of Marquis Wuqing, so he was simply directly seized by Yan Qing and prepared to redo it according to the holy decree.

However, what Yan Qing didn't know was that Zhu Yijun in history did not pay much attention to him, the reformers who belonged to Zhang Juzheng's party, and even abandoned many reformers left by Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, in this life, Zhu Yijun has already determined that he will inherit the political resources left by Zhang Juzheng in the future, and he will not stop using it because some cadres have been labeled as Zhang Juzheng.

In fact, Wanli in history has not completely given up on people who have a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, such as Shen Shixing, who are still reused by Wanli, but Shen Shixing has lost his sharpness because he saw Zhang Juzheng's fate.

"The Son of Heaven is in the court, you should build a prosperous world together, and you will not worry about not being able to be ranked as a minister in the future, and you will leave a name in history."

Zhao Zhenji continued to encourage Yan Qing and these magistrates, and encouraged them to dare to measure the hidden fields of the powerful officials and gentry.

Yan Qing and the others were naturally also encouraged, and knowing that they had the support and guarantee of the ministers, they dared to fight with the powerful officials and gentry.

Of course, when Zhao Zhenji met the officials who did not measure the acres of land but let the staff fabricate a large number of new fields on the heads of the small people, he was not so kind and drizzly, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

At the same time, Hai Jui was also very diligent in Nanzhi.

Like Zhao Zhenji, although the governor and the inspector are in charge of the inspector, he is not completely assured of the perfection of the inspector and the inspector, and he does not go to various state capitals day and night.

And because Hai Rui likes to wear cloth clothes and micro-clothes, it is easier to find their own problems than Zhao Zhenji.

On this day, when Hai Rui was inspecting Baoying County, Gaoyou Prefecture, he found that the officials of Baoying County were surrounding a lake to clear the zhang, and immediately changed into official clothes and inquired, and after learning that it was the order of Li Lai, the magistrate of the county, he immediately ordered Li Lai to be brought and asked:

"I have already visited, and at least tens of thousands of acres of fine polders in your county are occupied by the gentry, and there is no clear zhang, which is seen in the register! As a result, you haven't measured it yet, but you let people measure a lake, what do you want to do?! ”

Li Lai replied: "The ministry doesn't know, this lake is very shallow, just filled in for new fields, and the lower officials plan to measure it first and then fill in the lake for fields, and divide it for the people to cultivate." ”

"You filled up the lake, but how can the people with fields nearby irrigate?! How to prevent flooding? Even if the lake is reclaimed, how much will the people's labor cost of reclaiming the lake? Are you stupid for the officials, or are you deliberately insulting the parish?! ”

"You are inflating the acres of land, and you deliberately deceive the court, and you don't dare to offend the nearby gentry! What's the use of the court using an official like you, and what's the use of Baoying people having parents like you?! ”

Hai Rui continued to question.

Li Lai said: "Why does the ministry talk like this? ”

"What do you want this to do?"

Hai Rui slapped the table case hard, and then said: "Immediately send the official letter of the hall to Fu Press, and Li Lai of Baoying County will be dismissed and seized!" If he acts like this again, he will be dismissed and detained, and then he will be the chief and instructed until the county can be cleared smoothly! ”

Li Lai was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help but struggle when he was detained by the Governor's standard battalion soldiers: "Xia Guan is the in-law of Dong Wucheng, the former great sect uncle, where is Dong Gong like this?!" ”

"You're embarrassed to mention Dong Wucheng."

"Well, just because he Dong Wucheng has an in-law like you, this hall will go to Wucheng County, Huzhou, and urge the local officials to measure his Dong Wucheng's field first!"

After Hai Rui said this, he threw up his sleeves and said, "Take it away!" ”

Li Lai was at a loss for a while, and he was also frustrated, he seemed to have only reacted at this time, Hai Gangfeng didn't care about any scholars, after all, the biggest reason why he could go from a person to a ministry was that he really dared to work hard.

Li Lai even regretted confessing his family background.

Generally.

The matter of Qingzhang Tianmu is not only because most of the local bureaucrats are willing to clear the zhang, but also because they are all trusted people by Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers, and they will seriously supervise Qingzhang, plus Zhao Zhenji and Hai Rui, the two top bigwigs, are patrolling around, and they can go smoothly in the future.

However, the effect of the implementation of Qingzhang acres will have to wait until at least next year to see the increase in state funds.

Therefore, the Ming court is now strengthening its military armament and fully distributing food and salaries, and it is still maintained by the income confiscated last year.

The spring of the third year of Wanli.

Liaodong Changyong Fort.

When the vigorous new policy of Qingzhang Tianmu was launched in Guannei, the officers and soldiers in Liaodong finally got more food and salary because the imperial court confiscated the two major officials last year.

So much so that at this time, in Changyong Fort, Li Rusong was ordered by his father to personally initiate this year's arrears of food and salary for the officers and soldiers of the fort guard who were about to leave the fort and take the initiative to fight against the Tartars of the barbarian department.

"A stone of grain per man is a proper salary for your family; Plus two taels of silver, it is the reward that the Fuyuan will give you to go out of the city and the Tartars desperately this time! ”

Li Rusong stood on his horse at this time, pointed to the group of Liaodong military households in front of him, pointed to the several carts of grain and a few boxes of shiny silver behind him, and said loudly.

"Childe, why did the imperial court start to pay such a large amount of food and salary this time, and even the reward for going out of the city to fight can be afforded?"

At this time, a chief flag officer asked.

Li Rusong said: "Because Your Majesty has specially copied the two major officials in order to prevent you from fleeing and let you continue to kill enemies for the imperial court." ”

"This dare is good, dare to ask who has copied it?"

At this time, another hundred households asked.

Li Rusong replied: "I came to Weifuyuan in Liaodi and Sun Fuyuan in Baoding. ”

"Ahh Wei Fuyuan is also corrupt? He has helped us. ”

At this time, a thousand households experienced the return of the way.

Li Rusong said: "What do you know, Your Majesty is a good Majesty, and he is fair, although Wei Fuyuan is not too bad as an official, but he will not let go of corruption, but he also gave him dignity, and he didn't do anything to him, just chased his stolen money!" ”

As he spoke, Li Rusong said again: "You just need to know now that you can have such a good life now, all because you are a saint today, and you should be grateful for the emperor's grace, understand?!" ”

Because it is still the early years of Wanli, and the arrears of food and salary in the imperial court are not serious, Li Rusong, the children of the Li generals, has not yet raised private soldiers and ignores the idea of the imperial court, and will still preach loyalty to the officers and soldiers under his command and tell them the kindness of the emperor of the imperial court.

"Understood!"

The men shouted.

Li Rusong said: "Then do you dare to go out with my son to kill the enemy now, and be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's reward?!" ”

"Dare!"

The guards responded loudly.

The chief flag officer even said loudly just now: "Don't worry, son, we are no worse than those Tartars outside, as long as the emperor really cares about us, treats us as individuals, and still thinks about us who have guarded the Ming Dynasty for generations, we still dare to fight with the Tartars like our ancestors did back then!" ”

"Okay, go out of the city with my son to kill the enemy!"

After Li Rusong said this, he really rushed out of the city with these officers and soldiers of the guard, and directly launched an active attack on the Tartars of the barbarian department.

And these guards also followed with a roar, and it seemed that they really awakened the bloody nature of their ancestors who dared to drive Meng Yuan out of the desert with a spear in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
