Chapter 241: The will of the people is the key

When Liu Laosi heard this, he said excitedly: "The villain also thinks so, just wait for the eldest son to go to Shanghai County to work next month, I heard that the county seat is built over there, and the money given is also a lot." ”

"The people's life is the first key element," Chen Cao said and looked at Liu Wenzheng: "As the county magistrate and the local parent official, you must always think of the people's difficulties, know what the people need, and what can you do for them?" Instead of thinking about how to take bribes and how to get rich all the time...

My father also knows the old saying, why is being an official not for money? But you have to know, what is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it these people in front of us? ”

Liu Wenzheng bowed his body and nodded submissively, Chen Cao said and looked at Liu Laosi: "In the future, there will be no more people like Li Zheng in various townships, they are not officials, nor officials, since they are not sent by the imperial court, how can they make decisions for your people?"

If there is any difficulty, even if you look for the yamen, if they don't make your decision, then go to the governor's yamen to find your father-in-law, and your father-in-law will come to call the shots for you..."

Plop thud...

Liu Laosi knelt down towards Chen Cao and kowtowed again and again: "Grandpa Guo is a good official... I love my people like a son..."

"Liu Wenzheng, there are also many villagers outside, and by the way, they are told that those who suffer losses will be compensated by the governor's yamen, so that they can live in peace..."

"Yes..."

Chen Cao left amid the applause of the villagers, but he didn't do it in vain, and by the way, Zhao Xin sent someone to arrest all the more than a dozen Gao families, he didn't believe that these people were clean.

As soon as he returned to Fucheng, before he could sit down, news came that Chen Cao did not expect.

The people of Qingpu County rebelled at the instigation of the local gentry and wealthy households, created the Qingpu County Ya, and arrested the county magistrate Tan culture.

And Wang different Songjiangwei was also besieged in Qingpu County, the local people were the majority, Wang Wei did not dare to kill, so he could only take his troops to surround Qingpu County and send people to the city to spread the news.

Huating is only a day's journey to Qingpu, and on the war horse, Chen Cao looked at Huang Chunyao beside him: "Yun Sheng thinks how to solve this bureau?" ”

"The students thought that there was only one way to untie the knot in Qingpu County..."

Huang Chunyao's face was serious: "Murder and heart..."

With the ability of the Dingwu Army, let alone the Dingwu Army, as long as Chen Cao is willing, Songjiangwei can attack Qingpu County within an hour, but once this is done, Qingpu County will be a dead end in the future, and the people's trust in Chen Cao will be greatly reduced.

"Since we want to kill people and punish our hearts, then Yunsheng thinks that we should only punish the first evil, or... Waiting for the rabbit? ”

Huang Chunyao thought for a while: "It is the best policy to wait for the rabbit, since Qingpu County is unwilling to equalize the field, then after the grandfather arrives today, he will promise the people in the city that he will not implement the policy of exempting the land in Qingpu;

This is one of them, and the other is that the grandfather can send troops to block the connection between Qingpu and Suzhou Prefecture, so that Qingpu can completely cut off the trade route with the outside world.

If those wealthy gentry want to go to Nanzhili to complain, and after they are caught, they will kill them and give them a message that has not been heard..."

"Hahaha... You, you..."

Chen Cao smiled and pointed at Huang Chunyao, and then rode his horse and led people towards Qingpu County.

...

"Yingzhou Governor Zhao Wenhui? What does it have to do with me? ”

As soon as Chen Cao returned from Qingpu with his people, he received an official letter from Shanghai County.

Zhao Xin arched his hand: "Grandpa doesn't know, Zhao Wenhui was deceived by us this time, and he was carried by the black pot...

The defense line of the Great Wall at Xifengkou belongs to the defense area of Yingzhou Town, Zhao Wenhui is the general soldier of Yingzhou, and the military governor of the military capital is the governor of the palace after the fourth year of the Apocalypse. ”

Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin again: "Does he have any background?" ”

"There is no background, but this person has participated in the battle of Salhu, quite capable, he is a native of Sichuan, with outstanding military achievements, from a small soldier in the Wanli period to a general soldier, he is only forty-three years old now."

Chen Cao raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”

"Hey..."Zhao Xin felt that Chen Cao was a little confused: "Grandpa still doesn't know?" Now the famous generals that the imperial court is talking about, in addition to Ma Shilong in Shaanxi, there is also Qin Liangyu in Sichuan..."

Hiss...

Chen Cao took a deep breath: "Don't say it, but remind me..."

"Zhao Wenhui is a person from Chengdu Mansion, and he participated in the last Korean battle with the white pole soldiers of Shizhu Tusi, I can't say that he has an old relationship with Qin Liangyu, and no matter how bad he is, he also has an old relationship with the Ma family.

Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully: "Didn't you become Wei Zhongxian's lobbyist?" ”

Zhao Xin then looked serious: "Grandpa Mingjian, my subordinates have nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian, but I don't want to pity Zhao Wenhui's martial arts." ”

"Where is he now?"

"Dismissal, exile to Qiongzhou Island, according to the footsteps, now you are about to reach the boundary of Nanzhili."

"Then rob people..."

.

"The Ming Party?"

Facing the doubts of the crowd, Chen Cao knocked on the table: "The Lin Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party and other parties in the Middle East are constantly crushing, and there are still societies established by scholars in Zhejiang, and there are also township party organizations at the grassroots level, so my father thinks that we can also establish a party to compete with them, and in the future, you are not my father's people, but the people of the Ming Party." ”

"In the future, if there is no Lizheng Baochang or the like, we can choose someone to replace it, but like this kind of grassroots official, we must not only use scholars, but also students who graduated from Nanjing Military Academy, they are studying miscellaneous studies, and they have experience in grassroots farming and common people's disputes..."

"The people's heart is the key, my father said a thousand times and ten thousand times, let you all know one thing, the people are our foundation, everyone don't move to talk about the people, you as parents and officials, love the people like children, don't just treat these four words as decorations, if anyone dares to stretch out their hands indiscriminately, don't blame the knife in the hands of this father for not recognizing people..."

The matter of party building did not happen overnight, and Chen Cao only talked about it in general terms, and then returned to Shanghai County with the people.

He had a lot of things to do, and once he started doing it himself, he found that he couldn't finish anything.

In addition to daily business, when you go home, you have to continue to do business, and it is not a good thing to have too many wives and concubines.

"Grandpa..."

Chen Cao had just finished signing a document with Spain, Zhao Xin, and walked into the governor's yamen: "There is a commotion in Qingpu..."

"Speak..."

"Approaching the summer grain collection, the people of Qingpu found that the people of Huating did not pay a penny, and the people who scattered out were blowing the wind everywhere, which is good, the people of Qingpu feel that they have been deceived by the local gentry, and now they are making a big fuss..."

"Send someone to tell Tan Wenhua, don't care about anything, let that group of people make trouble, let them make trouble, how big the trouble is, you must not care, and also, send people out, whoever wants to participate in the exemption of Juntian must shake out all the bad things of the wealthy gentry in Qingpu, and there will be a reward for reporting..."

"Yes..."

Zhao Xin nodded: "In addition, grandpa, Zhao Wenhui has gone to Shanghai and lives in the post house." ”

.

"Yingzhou Governor Zhao Wenhui?"

The middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed plainly and dressed in a horizontal body was the governor of Yingzhou, but now he was approved by Emperor Chongzhen to wear a sin, and he was exiled to Qiongzhou according to the law.

"Sin will visit the Duke of Liangguo..."

"I heard you were wronged?"

"Sin will... Hey..."

After Chen Cao sat down, he said, "Is that not wronged?" Say, how much money did you send to Wei Zhongxian? ”

"There's not a lot of money, it's just that the eunuchs in Yingzhou collect a lot."

"Do you have an old relationship with Qin Liangyu?"

Zhao Wenhui raised his head: "The sin general has a similar relationship with Mrs. Qin, but it is a little old with his deceased husband Ma Qiancheng, I don't know what happened to Liang Guogong asking about this?" ”

"It's nothing," Chen Cao shook his hand: "It's a long way to go to Qiongzhou now, I don't know if Zhao Dudu has any plans?" ”

Zhao Wenhui had no opinion when he heard this, how could he fight the old fritters in the court: "Hey..."

"Since Governor Zhao has no plans, why don't I plan for you..."

.

"Wei Guogong, please..."

Zhao Xin very respectfully welcomed Xu Hongji, who came from afar, into the lobby of the governor's yamen, and in addition to Chen Cao, there was also Zhang Ru as an accompaniment in the hall.

It's just that Zhang Ru's belly is quite big now, and it is estimated that she is about to give birth...

"Grandpa Guo, don't come unharmed..."

Chen Cao stood up with Zhang Ru and arched his hand towards Xu Hongji.

After Xu Hongji sat down opposite, he sighed first, then looked at Zhang Ru and said, "It seems that my cousin is about to give birth, when will I send someone to inform my father-in-law, so that the house can send some supplements." ”

Zhang Ru glanced at Chen Cao, then touched his stomach and said with a smile: "Xie Wei Guogong is compassionate..."

Chen Cao simply didn't sell anything to Xu Hongji, and Xu Hongji dared to come to Songjiang Mansion alone to prove that he didn't come because of private matters: "I don't know if Grandpa Guo came to Songjiang Mansion this time, is there something important to pass on to me?" ”
