In the original preparation plan, he had to come to ensure that the granaries of the four prefectures in western Guangdong were solidified, so that this place would become an important logistical support for the southern army.

It's just that the real situation of the matter is not optimistic, after all, this western Guangdong is far away from the emperor of the mountain, and now the granary of Leizhou Mansion has seriously shrunk.

Although the problem can be solved by purchasing grain from the government, this will not only raise the price of grain to the detriment of people's livelihood, but also seize grain from western Guangdong.

As such, the best has not yet emerged, and now preparations for war need to be considered in the long run.

Yang Tinghe is good, as a well-known Hanlin official, or the successor cultivated by the civil official group, he can't even manage a small granary.

Not to mention that it has now affected the imperial court's preparation for war, just such a dereliction of duty has enough reason to break Yang Tinghe into pieces.

The Leizhou Peninsula in August is a cloudless and good weather.

West Street in the town, on the execution platform.

Yang Tinghe was still wearing that set of nine-grade official uniforms, and there was still a strong smell of alcohol on his body, but he was brought here by Lu Song like a chicken.

"The old man has finally opened his eyes!"

"Whew! Evil is finally rewarded! ”

"Fortunately, he was demoted, so that a person as prime minister will not let the people live a good life!"

……

The people of Leizhou City rushed over from all directions, and after seeing that the person who was being detained on the execution platform was Yang Tinghe, they condemned the tunnel one after another.

Yang Tinghe's reputation has long been stinky in Leizhou City, but he is an official of the imperial court after all, and he is regarded as a guest by the prefect of Leizhou, so everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.

It's just that the heavens are clear, and the world-famous king came to Leizhou Mansion with his head cut off, but he wanted to kill this invincible ambassador.

Yang Tinghe still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong after being escorted here, and asked angrily: "Wang Yue, you beheaded me for a mere 500 stone grain, are you really not afraid of Shi Bi like iron?" ”

Lu Song next to him frowned slightly, this kind of threatening words seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"Do you think that five hundred stone of grain is less, or because you are Yang Tinghe, this governor should not be beheaded?" Wang Yue sat on the prison platform, but asked with a straight face.

Along the way, he has beheaded many officials, either begging for mercy or threatening, but there are few people like Yang Tinghe, who have died to the point of dying, and have not yet realized the mistakes they have made.

Usually the warehouse is the guarantee for the local people to survive the disaster, but this person does not guard the gate of the granary, and he doesn't even know that the grain he manages is replaced with sand and gravel, which should be cut with a thousand cuts.

Once Leizhou Mansion encountered a major disaster, it turned out that the grain in the granary was sand and gravel at that time, and how many people should have died at that time.

The killing of Yang Tinghe this time was not only his responsibility as the governor of Liangguang, but also because he delayed the preparation of the imperial court for war, but also to give an explanation to the people of Leizhou.

Yang Tinghe struggled to get up, but he was held down, but he still said indignantly: "I am a Shu Ji Shi in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, and I am the first in Shu Ji Shi to work in the Hanlin Academy, and I am a rare talent in governing the country in the Ming Dynasty!" Now because of the five hundred stone grain cut me, you are not afraid of the future generations laughing? ”

Hey?

When Leizhou Governor Lin Qingshu and other officials heard this, they found that there was really some truth. Such a talent really shouldn't be cut for a mere 500 stone grain.

"Yang Tinghe, if you are really as capable as you say, and can conjure a batch of grain out of thin air, this governor may be able to spare you! It's just that you still don't recognize the mistakes you made, and you don't know how important it is for you to take care of Chang Close, I'm afraid that I still think that the emperor is wrong to belittle you because you indirectly killed official prostitutes, right? Wang Yue found that Yang Tinghe was a typical Hanlin Academy that regarded himself very highly, so he asked loudly.

"Huh? Was demoted for indirectly killing an official prostitute? ”

"Didn't everyone always say that he was demoted for directly admonishing the emperor?"

"Just listen to those words, the old lady has long seen that he is not a good bird!"

"Straight advice? He must have made it up to put gold on his face, no wonder he was so cruel to our sisters in Yihong Mansion! ”

……

The people present learned the truth about Yang Tinghe's demotion from Wang Yue, which was undoubtedly an official overthrow of the lie that had been rumored to belittle the emperor earlier, so everyone condemned it one after another.

After all, it is a remote place, and when Yang Tinghe was demoted to Leizhou, he really lied, only saying that he was degraded because he directly admonished the emperor.

After all, the place is the world of the official gentry class, and it seems that as long as the officials who disagree with the emperor are the best officials in the world, Yang Tinghe, who was demoted because of his direct advice, is naturally no exception.

It's just that the lie was finally exposed, and Yang Tinghe and the last fig leaf were torn off.

Yang Tinghe saw Wang Yue tearing off his fig leaf with his own hands, and felt the disgusted eyes cast around him, so he asked with a gloomy face: "Naturally, someone will help me clean my case, but do you really want to leave a notoriety in Qingshi?" ”

"My Wang Yue has been dedicated to serving the people since he became an official, and now His Majesty is a rare virtuous lord and Ming Jun, and everything he does is a prosperous era for China. Today, this governor beheaded you, using the law of the Ming Dynasty, why will future generations laugh? Wang Yue arched his hand towards the north, and asked with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Although the people present had already heard of Wang Yue's reputation, now seeing Wang Yue's words and deeds, they really felt that this was indeed a good official who did practical things for the people.

"This governor will not pay attention to the history, and when he recovers from Anlu Prefecture, he will not care about these false names! Now, this governor will use your head to warn all the officials of the world! Not to mention 500 stones of rice grain in the imperial court, even if it is ten stones and eight stones, it will have to fall to the ground! Wang Yue's gaze fell on Yang Tinghe, looking extremely firm.

Lin Qingshu, the prefect of Leizhou, and other officials were all present, and after hearing these words, they silently shrank their heads, very worried that the chopping knife would fall on their necks.

"Slash!" Wang Yue did not wait for Yang Tinghe to justify, and even dropped the order to sign.

"Crazy, crazy, definitely crazy, how can you kill me for this little thing?" Yang Tinghe was firmly pressed on the case, and immediately said in a panic.

To this day, he still doesn't understand. Obviously, it was only 500 stones, and he had the financial resources to fill the vacancy, but this Wang Yue still had to kill himself.

If you trace the source, I am afraid that the crux is still in the capital, or in the official prostitute.

If it weren't for that official prostitute, it wasn't Your Majesty making a fuss, then he would still be a high-ranking Hanlin official, and he would be the heir of all parties.

It's just that now he has lost his official position after all, and he is neither the most relied on fellow countryman nor the proudest protégé of the second assistant of the dynasty.

Die!

The people in the hall looked at the people who were being executed, and all the girls in Yihong Mansion came, but at this time they made a wish without the slightest sympathy.

It can only be said that Yang Ting and Gao Gao have been on the top for too long.

He was born in the Yang clan in Sichuan, and he was promoted at a young age, and he was favored by his father-in-law, who was then the Guozi Supervisor, during his study in the capital.

As for entering the officialdom, he is even more comfortable with him, and he has formed a close relationship with the three bigwigs of the dynasty.

If there is no accident, he will definitely be able to inherit the political resources of the civil official group and become the emperor and leader, so as to limit the imperial power on behalf of the gentry class and share this blessing of peace with the gentry of the whole world.

Burst!

The blade flashed, and a stream of blood splattered high.

After all, history has changed, and the last leader of the key leader of the civil official group was demoted, and he was unable to even be a cangist ambassador, and now he died under Wang Yue's knife.

Yang Tinghe's head rolled to the ground, and his eyes widened.

Until this moment, he still couldn't believe that he was the dragon and phoenix among the people of this era, and as a result, he would die at the hands of Wang Yue, who was excluded by the civilian clique.

"Dead!"

"It's really dead!"

"Sin deserves it, and this is retribution!"

……

The onlookers saw Yang Tinghe's head rolling down, and they looked a little scared when they saw the human head at first, but they relieved their breath one after another.

The clerk in the warehouse looked coldly at the head on the ground, then turned away without saying a word.

When Lin Qingshu, the prefect of Leizhou, and others saw Yang Tinghe being beheaded, it seemed that their hanging hearts could finally be put down, but they secretly exchanged glances.

When night fell, the entire Leizhou City was shrouded in a faint night.

Since this month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the waning moon is particularly bright, and the faint moonlight is sprinkled in this ancient city located on the Leizhou Peninsula.

The lights of the Leizhou Mansion are bright, and the Yin Hotel tonight looks very lively.

Wang Yue sat quietly under the lamp and looked through the grain tax situation in Leizhou Mansion, although the killing of Yang Tinghe could warn the grain officials of the world, but the problems he was facing now had to be solved.

It was imperative to raise enough food to raise enough food, and if the imperial court decided to immediately conquer the Annam Li Dynasty, then the grain stored in these four prefectures could be used as military rations.

"Grandpa, I don't think that Yang Tinghe is a greedy person for ink storage!" Wang Yu seems to be more and more mature, but he is speaking his own judgment.

Wang Yue found that the tax grain in Leizhou Mansion was not optimistic, and it seemed that there was also a need to clear the acres of land here, but he said lightly: "What I cut this time is not that he is greedy for ink and grain, but that he is derelict in his duties!" ”

He naturally could see that Yang Tinghe was not greedy, but the dignified prime minister's talent was so derelict in his duties, and now it affected Daming's preparation plan, how could he still be spared?

He didn't actually mention anything about preparing for war. The reason why I chose to come to Leizhou Mansion as the first stop is not because the ambassador here is Yang Tinghe, but he wants to make a good start here.

It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Yang Ting and the Chang Ping of the Leizhou Mansion that he was guarding had a major shortfall, and what he was most worried about still happened.

If there is a problem with the regular liquidation of the Leizhou Prefecture, then the situation of the other three prefectures may not be optimistic, and the problem of the regular liquidation of the four prefectures is likely to be a problem left over from history.

It is precisely because of this that he needs to warn the cangs of the other three provinces by killing Yang Tinghe, and also to show the world his attitude towards the vacancy of the regular position.

"Grandpa, Yang Tinghe has a relationship with both the first and second assistants, will you cause trouble by doing this?" Wang Yu hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.

Wang Yue naturally knew Yang Tinghe's background, but he shook his head lightly and said, "You think too highly of Yang Tinghe!" Yang Tinghe is just the successor cultivated by some people, and now Yang Tinghe has been demoted to Leizhou Mansion by the emperor, and what Yang Tinghe committed in the capital is a stain after all, so he has already become an outcast! As for whether there will be people targeting me, are there still fewer officials who want to target me over the years? ”

"As long as the emperor always trusts grandpa, those people are all clowns!" When Wang Yu heard this explanation, he nodded excitedly.

Wang Yue could feel the emperor's trust in him, but when he thought of the food problem he was facing now, he couldn't help but secretly feel a headache and said, "Let's just do things for the people with peace of mind!" You and Hu Jun rest early, and leave for Lianzhou Mansion early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid we will have to kill a group of officials over there! ”

"Good!" Wang Yu knew that their mission was to kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he agreed to come down.

After Wang Yue saw his grandson leave, he took out a blank secret fold, but he was ready to report the situation here truthfully.

Although he was not as diligent as Wang Zhi to write secret letters to the emperor, he still had to report some important things, especially when he killed Yang Tinghe and finally beheaded the successor carefully cultivated by the civil official group.

After Wang Yue finished reporting the matter, he proposed his own solution, but he planned to solve the food problem facing western Guangdong through Guangdong salt.

Since the beginning of the new dynasty, the rectification of salt administration can be said to be a wonderful pen.

The development of the opening of Guangdong salt has been also hindered so far, and many Guangdong salt merchants have united to force the imperial court to sell salt in the way of folding color.

Fortunately, now the imperial court has shown that it will continue to adopt the tough statement of the Kaizhong method, coupled with its own success in rectifying Huaiyan, so that the Guangdong salt merchant group is obviously honest.

When he came to Guangzhou to sort out the salt administration this time, the opening of the Chinese law of Guangdong salt had been gradually restored, so the imperial court could solve the current food problem in western Guangdong through the opening of the Chinese law.

If used properly, it can not only consolidate the granaries of the four provinces in western Guangdong, but also send grain to the border warehouses from all over the country when the war is waged.

Of course, the sales area of Guangdong salt is still too small, only including Guangdong and Guangxi, and the current volume of Guangdong salt is not enough to do so many things.

After Wang Yue saw the problem here, he decided to propose to the imperial court to expand the sales area of Guangdong salt, so that Guangdong salt would become more valuable.

In fact, this proposal is a little selfish, and in the expanded area, he added Anlu Prefecture to it, which is undoubtedly the fulfillment of the original promise to set the price of salt for the people.

It's just that this move is for the country and the people, after all, the transportation cost of sending Huai salt from Yangzhou to Anlu Prefecture in Huguang for sale is too high, but it is not as good as sending the southern part of Huguang to the bordering Guangdong salt.

Wang Yue wasn't sure if the emperor would adopt his proposal, but judging from the current situation, it was the best solution for this preparation.

In the early morning of the next day, a faint white mist was still shrouded in Leizhou City.

Wang Yu and Hu Jun hurried to Lianzhou City early in the morning, while Zhang Cai, a hundred households in brocade clothes, sent Wang Yue's letter to Tang Station.

The Tang newspaper system of the Ming Dynasty had been extended to Guangdong, and after Wang Yue's letter arrived at the station, a Tang soldier passed the information he carried along the official road to the capital as quickly as possible.
