Volume 2 The Smoke Rises Chapter 75 Terada confiscation

Now Xuancheng County has established Xuancheng Town in the county governance, and the jurisdiction has broken through the restrictions of the city wall, including the surrounding areas such as Ferry Street, Wuthering Heights, and Jingting Mountain.

Through Cui Feihu's contact, Li Xin followed Hou Hongye's path and became the head of the Xuancheng County Police Bureau. Li Xin can't fight a war, but his ability to look at the wind is first-class. He was assigned from the field army to the garrison, but the training of the garrison was also very hard, so he also thought about taking the initiative. When Xuancheng County began to reform the county government, Li Xin quickly realized that the new police station was a good fit for him.

While others still didn't understand what was going on, Li Xinyi took the lead and occupied the position of the director of the Xuancheng County Police Bureau. The Xuancheng County Police Substation includes civil police, criminal police, urban road traffic police, fire police, and police stations in various townships and three streets of Xuancheng Town, with more than 200 police personnel, more than 10 times the number of people arrested in Xuancheng County. However, this little manpower, scattered throughout the county, is actually insufficient, so the Xuancheng County Police Bureau is also responsible for the operational guidance of the security personnel of each company and the joint defense (joint prevention and control) personnel of each township. The security personnel of each company are paid by the company, and the joint defense personnel of each township are paid by the township, but the police station can also use these forces in a hurry.

The police officers wore uniforms, which were naturally produced by Fangfei Clothing. The uniform is divided into upper and lower bodies, with a waistcoat with sleeves on the upper body and a row of tin buttons on the chest; The lower body is breeches, tied to the waist with a belt, and then wearing riding boots, which is extremely windy.

This uniform was actually prepared for Ning Guojun. However, just after sending a batch of old-fashioned clothes to Ning Guojun, Li Congyi first tested the water on the police to see the effect.

The results are certainly outstanding. There is also an unexpected benefit, that is, when the police wear this uniform, they are very willing to wander the streets, which makes the assessment index set by Li Congyi for the police officers to go out on duty become redundant.

However, after serving as the head of the police sub-bureau, Li Xin found that this job was not as comfortable as he thought. No, now he is leading the team to Jingting Mountain to "quell the riot".

Based on the experience of Xuanzhou's construction, Li Congyi has also made early preparations for the matter of clearing the acres of land. At that time, there was no such thing as a huge bug in the Ming Dynasty, but there was still a bug that originated in the Southern Dynasty, and that was Terada. On the surface, the temple belonged to the temple, and there were many Yoshida and Hidden Fields. The so-called Yoshida is the field with the name of the temple; The hidden field is the field hidden under the name of the temple. Most of the houses around the temple are middle-class households, and as long as the temple collects less than the tax, it is profitable; And Yintian is a local hero, and the temple is just a cover.

Li Congyi didn't recognize Terada, and he didn't care about the difference between Jitian and Hidden Field, he just wanted to take this opportunity to forcibly occupy Terada to make up for the finances. Hou Hongye is not a native of Xuanzhou, and he may be transferred to another place after serving for a few years, so he did not buy land in Xuancheng, and after the reform of the county government, special personnel and special posts, this level of secrecy will rise rapidly, as soon as Li Congyi issued this "Terada confiscation order", Hou Hongye ordered the county finance bureau and the industrial and commercial taxation bureau under the leadership of Xuancheng Town, to confiscate the Guangjiao Temple in Jingting Mountain.

The monks of Guangjiao Temple did not dare to resist on their faces, and secretly quickly notified the owners of the surrounding Jitian Hidden Fields, and some of them encouraged the villagers to come to stop them. The banner is that there has been Terada since ancient times, and the government's seizure of Terada is a great evil government.

Li Xin did not anticipate enough, so he only brought more than 20 policemen to protect the county and town clerks, and was surrounded by the agitated villagers. Fortunately, Li Xin saw the opportunity quickly, and when he saw that the crowd was gathering and the situation was not right, he sent someone to the Xuanzhou Police Station for help. The Xuanzhou Police Department is mostly inspectors, who are responsible for supervising police officers in various counties, but there is also a criminal police team that specializes in handling major and important cases, and there is also a battalion-level armed police force dedicated to preventing riots.

This time, the biggest official who came to raid the Guangjiao Temple was the mayor of Xuancheng Town, who had the title of deputy county magistrate but ranked last. And Jingting Mountain is in the north of Xuancheng, Guangjiao Temple is the first big temple in Xuanzhou, the temple has more than 200 people, the temple field is more than 3,000 acres, and there are many rich officials in Xuancheng who are not known to be tired. Li Xinxin knew that Jiang Guogong's actions must not be reckless, and if he had to do so, he must have deep meaning. It's just that Li Xin couldn't guess the meaning of the above, so he didn't say that he would concentrate the police force in Xuancheng County first, but directly asked the Xuanzhou Police Department for help.

Xue Xiuyuan also has a mansion in Xuancheng. But after all, the city is cramped, no more spacious than the countryside. Since the coal stove and honeycomb coal became popular in the world, the air in Xuancheng City has always been filled with a pungent smell. Xue Xiuyuan was even more reluctant to stay in the city, and only cultivated in the mansion in the village on the eastern side of Jingting Mountain every day.

Jiang Guogong carried out this Terada confiscation order, no matter how secret he kept it secret in advance, when the official document was issued, the news flowed out. It's just that I didn't expect the Xuancheng County Government to act so quickly, and before Xue Xiuyuan could act, the county government raided the Guangjiao Temple and got the temple field directory. At this time, Xue Xiuyuan panicked and became angry.

A few months ago, Jiang Guogong had a very happy conversation with himself in Jingting Mountain; A month ago, he also used his second son Xue Yingshao as the vice president of the Xuanzhou Prefecture Procuratorate. The president of this procuratorate is personally led by Jiang Guogong, but Jiang Guogong is in charge of every day, and Xue Yingshao is mainly responsible for the daily work of this procuratorate.

Xue Xiuyuan was quite proud, and he also applauded Jiang Guogong's new policy. But he didn't want to turn his head, and he was stabbed by Xuancheng County, so he had the heart to break his wrist with Hou Hongye, the magistrate of Xuancheng County.

Jiang Guogong and Gao Jingtong were not there, and Tang Puze presided over the work of the state capital. Xue Yingshao received a notice from Tang Puze, gathered a company of about 100 armed policemen from the Xuanzhou Police Station, and rushed to Guangjiao Temple.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, looking at the formation, how could Xue Yingshao not understand what was going on? scolded the old father for being confused for a while, and was a little helpless for a while. As soon as Xue Xiuyuan agitated, some big families were also ready to move, and a large number of middle-class households who sent fields were even more agitated. For the large households in the hidden field, it is just a dime a dime, but for these middle-class households, it is a loss of two or three out of ten.

The Xuanzhou Prefecture Police Department did not even have a deputy director, but only sent a company of armed police to follow Xue Yingshao to the scene, and then the squadron leader who led the team came to ask for instructions. Xue Yingshao looked at the figure of the Xue family's housekeeper in the crowd again, and finally gritted his teeth: "These Diao people, Terada confiscation, what does it matter to them?!" Then drive away the irrelevant people, and then arrest the leader! ”

When the housekeeper of the Xue family saw that the second son, Xue Yingshao, was leading the team, he knew that something was wrong. Xue Yingshao is from the mouth of the procuratorate, and the Xue family has also carefully studied it, and this procuratorate has restrained the police department with one hand and the court with the other, and in fact it has separated the responsibilities of the original criminal department, and added the function of anti-corruption, but also has some functions according to the procuratorial department. But no matter what, today's incident should not have been caused by Xue Yingshao, but now that Xue Yingshao is here, isn't the attitude of Xuanzhou Mansion to make it clear that Xue Yingshao will stand in line.

Listening to Xue Yingshao's order, more than 100 armed policemen stepped forward with shields. Armed police also carry knives and guns, but in such cases, there is also a more suitable weapon, which is an iron bar. With a shield in one hand and a stick in the other, the armed police immediately separated the crowd and rescued dozens of county and town personnel and the county police who were surrounded by them. Dozens of people were arrested, and more than a dozen people were beaten with iron rods to their bones and tendons, and they only rolled on the ground and screamed.

Xue Yingshao did not do anything, and ordered the armed police to block the door in front of the temple gate, so as to give the villagers a magnificent thirty monks to disperse, and arrested more than 20 monks on the spot and took them away.

The housekeeper of the Xue family saw the opportunity early, and as soon as the armed police moved, they ran away. When he arrived at Xue's house, he told Xue Xiuyuan about the situation out of breath, and Xue Xiuyuan panicked. It's not that I'm afraid that some people from the Xue family will confess after being arrested and instructed by Xue Xiuyuan, as long as Xue Xiuyuan doesn't admit it, he will spend some money to appease him. But as soon as there was such a scene, everyone would think that this was the Xue family cooperating with Xuancheng County to act, and everyone was folded in.

But not at this time. I had to ask someone to prepare a sedan chair and go into the city to find Tang Puze.

Xue Xiuyuan used to be a tribute, that is, a scholar who passed the examination and participated in the palace examination, and also served as a court official in Jinling. After being an official for less than a year, he met the death of his parents, and he was worried at home for six or seven years, and he gave up his mind of entering the office. In the past twenty or thirty years, many scholars from Xuancheng have been favored by it, and there are also officials who hold important positions in Jinling, so Xue Xiuyuan is in Xuanzhou, and Jiang Guogong also has to give a little thin face.

It's just that on the occasion of the war in the Song and Tang Dynasties, every cent of the force must be used to support the finances, how can Li Congyi tolerate the fact that nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land in the whole state are hanging on the temple, which has no contribution to the finances?

And Xue Xiuyuan and his ilk are not willing to dismantle the family, nor are they willing to deposit money in Jiangnan Bank, and they are not willing to reform the school, so they don't take this opportunity to clean up, and when will they wait?

"Elder Xue supports Terada's confiscation, of course the official knows." Tang Puze said with a smile, "Now Ying Shao is the vice president of the procuratorate, and the president is Jiang Guogong, this Ying Shao's future is limitless!" From the perspective of supporting Yingshao, Xue Lao also has to consider the current financial constraints in Xuanzhou, and at this extraordinary time when the Song Dynasty invaded our dynasty, this tax evasion is to dig up the foundation of my Xuanzhou, which is really a first-class evil thing. ”

Xue Xiuyuan's eyelids jumped, this Jiang Guogong spent money like flowing water, which was breathtaking; The power of this sword and wealth is also terrifying.

"Nowadays, many new laws in Xuanzhou, such as the construction of new schools, are actually due to the fact that there are few talents in the prefecture and county, and there are even fewer talents who are familiar with the world and practice, so the teaching method needs to be adjusted. Another example is the abolition of the two yuan and the abolition of money into currency, which is actually to facilitate trade circulation and promote economic development. Another example is that the implementation of the progressive tax system is not just to weaken the big family, if the juniors who are not the eldest sons of the clan can set up their own doors as soon as possible, it will be beneficial to both their individuals and the local economy......" Tang Puze said a lot, but Xue Xiuyuan was just a promise and refused to express his position. Tang Puze can't either, at the moment, Song is strong and Tang is weak, and Jiang Guogong only has one state, so some outsiders naturally don't have the confidence and mind to follow Jiang Guogong closely.

Xue Xiuyuan refused to respond to Tang Puze's words, so he drank a stomach of tea and returned to the county mansion, but saw that his second son Xue Yingshao was also at home.

"You're going to split up?!" Xue Xiuyuan was wondering why his second son came over before he got off work, thinking that it was for today's Jingting Mountain, and he was thinking about how to discuss with his second son how to take his house out. Unexpectedly, Xue Yingshao said this.

"You can share this one if you want to?" Xue Xiuyuan was furious in his heart, and he didn't choose to say anything for a while, "If you want to split up, take away your wife's dowry and take your wife and children out of this door!" ”

Xue Yingshao saw his father like this, and knew that it was difficult to convince for a while, so he said, "Just follow what my father said, it's okay." ”

Xue Xiuyuan's old wife was not in the city, and the eldest son Xue Yingming fell in the school, and when he heard his father go back to the mansion, he would rush over, and when he heard the second brother and his father choking, he hurriedly made a straight look, and helped the old father who was trembling with anger to the back hall, and then came back to complain about the second brother.

Xue Yingshao sighed and told the matter of Guangjiao Temple before saying, "Today I have no choice but to be a villain." If he didn't cut off his father as soon as possible, his father would be scolded by the Xuanzhou family. What's more, I am the deputy of the state prosecutor's office, and since I should enthusiastically implement the state government's requirements, it is extremely late to delay until this time. ”
