Zhu Ming only personally arranged a few people, and the rest came slowly, and even Li Gang didn't get the position.

The entire city of Tokyo is temporarily under military control, and the prefect and two prefectural commanders are in charge of civil affairs. And the two new county commanders were still promoted from the military documents.

Under normal circumstances, this should not be the case, and a large number of old ministers must be used to buy people's hearts.

But Zhu Ming didn't want to use these guys at all, it was already very difficult to pick out a few of them in the!

For example, after the meeting ended, Li Bangyan came to recommend his cronies: "Marshal, Zhongshu Shilang (Deputy Prime Minister) Wang Xiaodi, quite knowledgeable and talented. Before the rebels entered the city, he also helped build momentum, and persuaded the guards of Jingling Palace to expel the chaotic people and ensure the safety of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and Shangshu Province. ”

"Wang Xiaodi, right? I made a note of it," Zhu Ming nodded slightly, "Write down all the names of those who have done things with you, and list their merits." ”

"Yes!" Li Bangyan was overjoyed.

After a while, Zhu Ming looked at the list, and sighed in his heart that Li Bangyan was indeed a capable minister.

It's not easy for his subordinates to gather so many insects!

What did Wang Xiaodi, whom he recommended, do in history?

Specially raided the house to send money to the Jin people, regardless of the powerful or commoners, as long as the family has money, all the money is copied. He also threatened the people that if they did not do so, the Jin people would "kill all the men, take all the women, burn the palace, and take all the gold and silver" from Tokyo.

It is known as the four books.

It's just that this thing can still die well, but it was just dismissed by Zhao Gou and thrown to Luoyang to raise the Taoist temple.

Li Bangyan made great contributions to the capture of Tokyo, and since he recommended it, it was natural that all of it should be "reused". When Zhu Guoxiang came with the administrative team, Chen Dong could let go and cut off a few heads from time to time, so as to show his determination to fight corruption.

Seeing Zhu Ming personally circle his name, Li Bangyan became more and more proud, thinking that his team was already stable.

"Go ahead." Zhu Ming waved his hand.

Li Bangyan bowed and retreated, and when he stepped out of the door, he gestured to a few people outside the hall.

Qin Hui had been waiting outside the palace, and when he saw Li Bangyan, he immediately greeted him, and the two of them gradually drove away in the same car.

"Congratulations to Lee Sang-gong." Qin Hui said.

Li Bangyan said: "Tongxi. ”

Qin Hui said: "I was ordered to raise the Xicheng Office, and the original officials were all Li Yan's henchmen, so they must not be able to be used anymore." There are really not enough people, and I asked Li Xiang to recommend one or two talents. ”

Li Bangyan helped Qin Hui say good things in Mingtang, and Qin Hui naturally wanted to repay Li for helping arrange his position.

Of course, Qin Hui is not a fool who knows what kind of goods Li Bangyan has under his hands. The first errand he received under Zhu Ming could not have been ruined by a group of wine bags and rice bags.

Whoever can do things should rest, Qin Hui knows very well.

As for taking the opportunity to make a few small bucks during the errand, this has long been an unspoken rule of officialdom, and Qin Hui didn't pay attention to it at all. He thinks that he has a good relationship with Zhu Ming, as long as the general direction is okay and the greed is not too ruthless, he will definitely not be held accountable.

If everything is done according to the rules, then there is no way to do it.

There are three ways to collect the Xicheng office: first, let the local government collect it on its behalf; second, set up a dispatched agency to collect; Third, a large number of plundered land for the imperial village and the official village.

The first two ways can be directly banned, and the landlord will automatically get the land back without deliberately dealing with it.

What Qin Hui needs to deal with is the Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang, and even the private manor of Li Yan's guys. It is necessary to cooperate with the local government to find the original landlords as much as possible, and if they cannot find them, they will directly resettle the displaced people, or simply distribute the land to the tenants.

Lots of room to operate!

In the past few months of court struggle, although Qin Hui was not deeply involved, he was still baptized by thought.

Qin Hui deeply understands that if you want to do things, you have to have power, if you want to have power, you have to have someone, and if you want someone, you have to form a gang and share benefits.

Uniting Li Bangyan, who is quite favored by Zhu Ming, is only the first step in Qin Hui's struggle. In the future, if Li Bangyan commits a crime, Qin Hui will definitely clear up the relationship immediately, he doesn't believe that Li Bangyan can last long.

Qin Hui has now established a new ambition, that is, to be a founding minister in the new dynasty and create a family of eunuchs who will shade future generations!

……

Mingtang.

Ye Mengde took a young man in: "Marshal, this is Xu Kangzong, my brother-in-law." ”

Zhu Ming nodded approvingly: "Quite graceful, a talent." ”

Although the Ye family has been a eunuch for generations, most of them are Qing officials, and they really haven't saved up their property well.

Even if Fang La didn't burn down his shop, Ye Mengde would be considered to be a miserable mess.

Ten years ago, his sister married Xu Kangzong, and because the folk custom advocates generous marriage, Ye Mengde couldn't even make up the dowry. After selling the land and the store, he pulled down his old face and borrowed 3,000 yuan, and also put his wife's dowry, so that he married the little sister beautifully.

Ye Mengde introduced: "Marshal, this brother-in-law is not only beautiful and good at poetry, but also has outstanding political achievements when he was a local official. He was too punctual for Yingchang, built water conservancy, and provided relief to the victims, but was degraded for obstructing Yang Jian's field. ”

"How fortunate the people of Yingchang are." Zhu Ming sighed.

Yingchang Mansion has issued several prefects in a row, and resolutely refuses to implement Yang Jian and Li Yan's Kuotian Order. The former was demoted, and the next continued, anyway, he had to fight against the eunuchs.

It's a pity that Yingchang Mansion is still made miserable, and in the end, it is a corrupt official who can serve for a long time.

By the way, Ye Mengde and Xu Kangzong used to be Cai Jing's henchmen, and they are two wonderful flowers in the Cai Party.

"The generalissimo captured Kaifeng, and the big trouble was not in the southeast, but in the north," Xu Kangzong held out a record, "This is the "Itinerary of the Jin" written below, and the generalissimo is also invited to look at it." ”

The full name of this document is "Xuanhe Yisi's Itinerary to the Jin State", which was written by Xu Kangzong when he was ordered to congratulate Wu Qimai on his succession.

Just over two months after he returned from the Jin Kingdom, the Jin people sent troops south.

Xu Kangzong repeatedly went up and asked Song Huizong to rectify the border affairs, and the Jin people were already transferring military rations. As a result, it was attracted: "Lying in vain about the troubles on the border, flowing 3,000 li, and fining 3,000 yuan, will not be reduced by forgiveness." However, the envoy has merit, maintains the national system, and the merit is offset by the demerits, and he cannot be promoted! ”

Zhu Ming carefully flipped through this itinerary, and it was all what Xu Kangzong saw and heard along the way.

The description of Yanjing is: "It was the year (last year), Yanshan was hungry, and his parents ate his son. Until there are shoulders of dead bodies inserted in the market, sold for food. The rate of money, food, and silk is for the victorious army, and the tooth soldiers are all bones, and the soldiers are seventeen or eighteen who die of starvation. The upper and lower phases are blind, and the upper Buddha knows the ......"

Zhu Ming finished reading that paragraph: "Wang Anzhong is the prefect of Yanshan, is he really greedy for 400,000 yuan? ”

Xu Kangzong said: "This matter is well known in the Northland, and it must be more than 400,000. The 400,000 guan written below was the transfer and military expenses that were transported to Yanshan at the beginning of last year, and Wang Anzhong didn't even take out a penny. Because of this, Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi completely fell out, and Guo Yaoshi sent troops to rob hundreds of thousands of Shicao rice sent by the imperial court. In the end, Wang Anzhong was recalled and replaced with Cai Jing as the prefect, and Guo Yaoshi promised to take out some grain to help the people. ”

Most of this record is true.

Because when Xu Kangzong wrote these contents, Song Huizong was still the emperor in Tokyo. Every sentence in it is slapping Zhao Ji, Cai You, Tong Guan and others in the face, there is no need for him to lie and ask for trouble.

It was precisely because he slapped the face of the traitorous minister, and when he went to the Jin Kingdom, Xu Kangzong, who was speechless with his three-inch tongue, was sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles and was not allowed to be pardoned, and finally was exempted from punishment by offsetting his merits and demerits.

Zhu Ming immediately issued an order: "Arrest Wang Anzhong and interrogate him strictly." If the charges are true, they should be executed. His family members and children were all exiled to the barbarian land of southern Sichuan. The family property was confiscated for military expenses. ”

This order, even how to punish is clearly written, then it still needs to be interrogated?

The bad thing about Wang Anzhong is not how much he embezzles, but he puts life-saving money into his own pocket, but does not use it to buy grain in Xiongzhou and other places, causing countless soldiers and civilians in Youzhou to starve to death.

Xu Kangzong said again: "I heard that Guo Yaoshi voted for marshal, this fang will be rampant, and it must not be reused!" ”

"You don't need to say much about the military, I have my own arrangements." Zhu Ming said.

"Yes!" Xu Kangzong bowed.

Zhu Ming continued to look down: "There are only more than ten households left in Yingzhou City? ”

Xu Kangzong said: "Yingzhou was mostly affected by wars and famines, and when we passed there, there were only more than ten poor families left in the city, and you could see white bones on the streets. ”

Yingzhou in the Song Dynasty was in Changli, Hebei, which was also a large state of Liao, but the population of the state city was less than 100.

Zhu Ming sighed with emotion and continued to read.

One of the contents is very interesting, there is a place called Tuoqi Zhai in Huanglong Mansion, Bohai, Tieli, Tuhun, Goryeo, Jianya, Jurchen, Khitan, Hui, Xiren, Dangxiang...... Miscellaneous ethnic groups from all over the world. The languages of the various ethnic groups are not understood, and when they get together, they can only communicate in Chinese.

The article is all about what Xu Kangzong saw and heard, and also describes the customs and etiquette of many Jin people, as well as the cities, Xiongguan, walled forts and so on along the way.

However, there is not much involved in the politics of the Jin State, and it is estimated that the envoy time is still short, and Xu Kangzong does not know it clearly.

After reading the full text, Zhu Ming suddenly asked, "Where is Ma Kuo?" ”

Xu Kangzong said: "Ma Kuan went north to recruit troops and Qin Wang, but he has not returned yet, maybe there was some accident." ”

Ma Kuo has been envoys to Liao and Jin all the year round, and his understanding of the north has become more in-depth, and his life is also very legendary.

He was captured several times and imprisoned several times.

Because of his good relationship with the Jin people, after refusing the official position of Jin Guo, he was also allowed to start a business in Jin Guokai Restaurant.

The restaurant opened well, and fled back to Hebei to participate in the anti-Jin resistance, and was elected as the general leader of the righteous armies in Shanxi and Hebei. The army was defeated and fled back to the Southern Song Dynasty, resigned and reinstated many times, and was finally deposed to death by Qin Hui.

Every time the envoy of the Jin State went to the Southern Song Dynasty, the first thing he said was to ask Ma Kuo where he was, and then pull Ma Kuo to drink and catch up with him.

The capture of Kaifeng did not see Ma Kuo, which made Zhu Ming quite regretful.

Although he is familiar with the history of the Jin Kingdom, he is only in the general direction, and he still needs people like Ma Kuo who know the details.

Zhu Ming said to Xu Kangzong: "Stay in the Generalissimo's Mansion to do things." ”

"Thank you, Marshal, for your support!"

Xu Kangzong said excitedly: "On the day of the marshal's Northern Expedition, I will follow the army as a guide!" ”
