There is also a nest case in Gyeyang, where there is a pile of silver mines.

After trial, Sun Mao, the prefect of Chenzhou, was confessed.

The amount of corruption embezzled by Sun Mo was not large, but the nature of the case was extremely bad.

This guy actually embezzled the resettlement materials and collected harsh taxes in violation of regulations, resulting in the immigrants from all counties under their jurisdiction suffering from hunger and cold in the first year of settling down in the fields.

I don't know how many people froze to death and starved to death!

It is certain that Sun Mo himself lost his head, and now there is a discussion about how much to sit in a row.

"Da Ming Law" is now sitting in a row according to the household registration book, Sun Mo is actually a single independent household, only his wife and children are on the household registration book, and his parents and brothers are not the same as him.

"Report it to the Criminal Department, this person is obviously premeditated."

"I suggest that his parents be connected, and his brother or anything else will not be implicated."

"But his brother must be investigated, and maybe there is corruption too. Sun Mo had climbed Huang Qianshan in the former Song Dynasty, and it was only because he impeached Cai You that he was praised by some people for daring to speak out, which was enabled in the new Ming Dynasty. I heard that the Sun brothers are not good people! ”

"It's okay, please ask the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate to thoroughly investigate the Sun family brothers."

"How should the Chenxian county order be judged?"

He said that he was forced by Sun Mo and that he had openly opposed it. Indeed, several scribes confessed, saying that the Chenxian county order was unwilling to collect miscellaneous taxes. ”

"But he still reached for the money."

"I don't take much, only a few hundred. His main crime was to forcibly occupy more than 300 acres of newly reclaimed paddy fields while repairing water conservancy, and then sell half of them to the local gentry. ”

"It's okay to exile your home."

This Chenxian county order is Song Huizong.

In late autumn, the Criminal Department quickly approved the Chenzhou Fuwo case.

Those who need to be beheaded are escorted to Beijing and sentenced to a fine of less than two years in prison, because the cell is already very full.

The remaining more than 400 people helped the old and the young to be exiled to Anyi County (Zhenyuan, Guizhou).

Song Huizong took his wife Zeng and his two-year-old son to cry and embark on the road of distribution.

All the property he had accumulated in recent years had been confiscated, and only some change of clothes was allowed to be taken away.

Fortunately, there was a boat all the way, and the government provided food along the way, and there were not too many sins along the way.

After crossing Dongting Lake and coming to Wuling County, these exiled criminals waited for the time being, and then two groups came to converge one after another, and finally even an army came.

"Straight lady thief, cheer up, whoever dares to run away will be beheaded!"

Sun Li scolded and poured his anger on the exiled prisoner.

This guy followed Yang Zhi to Daming Village together, and the problem of greed for money could not be changed, and when he confiscated the traitor's property in Hebei, he was punished for embezzling property and was thrown to Huainan to be the deputy commander of Caoyun.

has already suffered losses, Sun Li doesn't dare to be greedy anymore, let alone attack Caoliang.

However, he used his idle boats to transport goods to the merchants, so as to avoid tax cards along the way, and also caused thousands of stone grains to be delayed. One of the businessmen was arrested, and Sun Li was also confessed during interrogation.

Zhu Ming opened the net and asked Sun Li to continue to lead the troops.

It's just that the location where he is stationed has been changed to Anyi County, which is full of barbarians.

When boarding the ship, Sun Li shouted: "The convicts above the seventh rank have all come to my ship, and their families are placed on other ships!" ”

Song Huizong said goodbye to his wife and children and got on the ship, and was led to a cabin, where there were already two people.

exchanging names and greetings, these two convicts are Cao Chengda, the prefect of Nanchang, and Guo Yu, the general judge of Nanchang Prefecture.

Song Huizong chatted with them for a few words, and Li Yuanding, the field supervisor of the Guiyang Mint, came in again.

Cao Chengda suddenly asked, "Do you know where Anyi County is?" ”

"I don't know."

Guo Yu and Li Yuanding shook their heads.

Song Huizong said: "It belongs to Sizhou and is the land of Zhuxi. ”

Originally, Song Huizong's official was the youngest, and the three of them didn't take him seriously, but at this time, they looked at each other differently and inquired about the specific situation of Anyi County.

Why is Song Huizong clear?

Because the name Anyi County was given by him personally!

The emperor likes to expand his territory, and the officials naturally do what he likes.

There were no troops available in the southwest, so the magistrates contacted the barbarian chieftains to coerce and induce the barbarian chieftains to donate their land.

This Anyi County was established in this way, and the soldiers and people were forcibly relocated. Due to the lack of resettlement, a large number of people fled, and there were frequent conflicts with the Yi people, and Anyi County was changed to Anyi Fort.

After a few years, the soldiers fled and gradually became desolate.

Chatting and chatting, a few more prisoners came in one after another.

"Come out, the general will call you over!" Soldiers shouted outside.

These soldiers are also guilty of crimes, and they have all committed crimes to a greater or lesser extent.

Song Huizong followed everyone and went to see Sun Li together.

Sun Lishen was sitting and said depressedly: "They all report to their homes, and they come according to their grades." I heard that there is a political envoy? ”

A middle-aged man came out of the queue and saluted: "The former Jiangxi Zuobu political envoy Xiang Zixu will meet General Sun." ”

Sun Li nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." The political envoys who were arrested this time were all beheaded except for you. You are just exiled from your family, and you are also a clean official. ”

"It's a shame." Xiang Zixu was so ashamed that his face was red.

While the two were talking, Song Huizong was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, because Xiang Zixu was his cousin.

Sun Li took out the list of exiles and asked, "Han Dong, Senator of the Jiangxi Political Division, stand up and let me take a look." ”

Immediately, a prisoner stood up: "Meet General Sun." ”

Sun Li continued: "Who is Yang Gao, the prefect of Chenzhou? ”

"Sinner Yang Gao, I've seen General Sun." Another prisoner stepped forward.

One after another prisoners reported their families in front of Sun Li, and a small minion like Song Huizong could only be ranked last.

When Song Huizong stood up, Xiang Zixuan was instantly dumbfounded, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes thinking that he had seen something wrong.

Song Huizong was sweating in his vest, for fear that his cousin would make meritorious contributions to him.

Xiang Zixuan really wants to do this, and if he finds the great merit of the former dynasty faint monarch, maybe he can use it to atone for his crimes. But thinking about it, Dujun is very good to himself, not only does he not owe him, but he has been reused and promoted, and Xiang Zisu is really unspeakable.

All the prisoners appeared, and Sun Li finally began to speak: "The exiles from Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangxi are all going to Anyi County. The exiles from Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang went to the island of Taiwan. Don't ask where the island of Taiwan is, and I don't know. I only know that Anyi County is very important, and I can keep an eye on the Sizhou Tian family. In the future, the imperial court will conquer Dali, and the Eastern Route Army will also go to Anyi County. ”

"I am a criminal official, and you are also a criminal official, maybe there will be a chance to make meritorious contributions. Xiang Zisu! ”

Xiang Zixuan was entangled, and when he heard Sun Li shouting to himself, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Here!" ”

Sun Li said: "The prince remembered that you are a provincial left-hand politician, more restrained than other corrupt officials, and you have made great contributions to the land at the beginning, so I will leave you some leeway this time." Anyi County was changed to Zhenyuan Fort, I am in charge of military affairs, and you are in charge of civil affairs. After the imperial court conquered Dali, Zhenyuan Fort was the outpost of the East Route Army. ”

Xiang Ziyu suddenly became excited, turned around and bowed to the north: "Thank you to the official family and the prince for your kindness!" ”

Seeing the envious expressions of the other prisoners, Sun Li said, "I have to pick a few more people to be the officials of Zhenyuan Fort." I haven't figured out who to choose, and I've performed myself along the way. ”

Sun Li also advised: "When you arrive at Zhenyuan Fort, whether you are an official or a common man to join the army, you must work hard with me." The prince said that if the registered population of the Han people in the jurisdiction of Zhenyuan Fort reaches 5,000, I and Xiang Zisu can be promoted and leave. If other convicts are promoted to preside over the military and political affairs, for every 500 more Han people in the country, one civil and one military officer will be promoted and transferred. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they all saw hope in the desperate situation.

"I won't say much if I have a false head," Sun Li instructed, "We are all grasshoppers on a rope, and Hermes-Epitek is our lifeblood." It is not allowed to embezzle and deduct the food and clothing of the Han people, and it is not allowed to oppress and exploit the Han people, so that they can have more children and have more children, and quickly give birth to enough people. ”

"I am willing to help the general multiply the people!" The convicts shouted in unison.

Sun Li also said: "The local barbarians, who have been registered for more than three years, have changed their Chinese names and surnames, and there are three adult men and women in the family who can speak Chinese, which can also be regarded as naturalized Han people." Therefore, those obedient barbarians should also be treated kindly, so that they can learn to speak Chinese. ”

Cao Chengda, the convict official, suggested: "You can lure the barbarians nearby, teach them to plant and irrigate, and then settle them down and let them pay taxes to the government." Then choose the children of their family, twelve or thirteen years old, and teach them to read, write, and speak. ”

"This is a good method," Sun Li nodded and said, "I will send you a send, and you will be responsible for educating the barbarians." ”

Cao Chengda was immediately ecstatic, and when Sun Li and Xiang Zisu were sent away, it would be his turn to be promoted and stay away.

None of them thought of cheating, because the imperial court must have been very strict in inspecting the population.

Xiang Zixuan asked, "How many Han people are going to be exiled to Zhenyuan Fort this time?" ”

Sun Li said: "The soldiers and the people, about 2,000 people. Little dolls are not counted, only those over fifteen years old. By the way, who understands medicine? ”

Immediately, three convicts came forward and claimed that they knew a little about medicine.

These prisoners are all talents.

In order to be able to leave Zhenyuan Fort, it can now be said that everyone is united. Based on the 5,000 adult population, for every 500 additional people, there will be a single article and a military force that can be liberated, and the naturalized barbarians are also counted.

They believed that within twenty years, all the convicts present would be able to leave.

Southern Sichuan, Guizhou, and Taiwan are all this set of rules.

A piece of toilet paper is useful, not to mention a group of officials. As long as they are willing to do things and have a clear goal, they will definitely be able to burst out with amazing power.

Not to mention anything else, the ability to educate is top-notch, and it can quickly naturalize a large number of barbarians.

Xiang Zixu was originally entangled in whether to report Song Huizong, but now that he has a new goal, there is no need to do anything against his will.

When he left Sun Li's cabin, he secretly winked at Song Huizong.

When the two came to a remote place, Song Huizong said with a crying voice: "Thank you for the kindness of the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother is my reborn parents." ”

Xiang Zixu sighed and asked, "How has my brother been in recent years?" ”

Song Huizong said: "After living a life, I also continued to marry a wife, and gave birth to a young son two years ago. ”

Xiang Zixu was momentarily speechless.

This faint gentleman who entered the dog can really mix. A king of a dead country, unknowingly, became an official in the new dynasty, married a wife and had children.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be living a very nourishing life.

Xiang Zisu began to mumble, maybe at a critical moment, he could confess the faint monarch to make meritorious contributions!

(A bit of a cardin, tweak it.) ）
