In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, September 20, Ying Tian.

In the inner hall of the Tianfu Ya, the prefect Jia Yucun sat at the top, and there were more than 20 officials sitting in the hall, which were the subordinate officials of the government and the prefect below.

Taking out a piece of music, Jia Yucun said with a smile: "Everyone, it took more than half a year, and we finally lived up to the trust of the saint and completed the clearing of the land of Yingtian!" ”

"The original registered cultivated land is more than 3 million acres, and now it is more than 4.5 million acres, and all the details have been listed in the chapters.

There is only one person in Jia Yu Village, and he mainly plays a role in supervising and urging to complete the Qingzhang, and the specific errands are completed by the people below.

Now that the joint name is played, it is natural to share the responsibility, and Jia Yucun is not a person who is willing to suffer.

I saw that after he picked up the pen and signed, he got up and walked to the side and handed the pen to Zhang Fangshi, a fellow intellectual.

The latter did not hesitate, took the pen and quickly wrote it, and then handed it to the next person.

When everyone signed, they only heard Zhang Fangshi say: "Fuzun...... The three halls of Qingzhang land also received the emperor's order, and the three hall officials should also sign this concert! ”

Since the responsibility is shared, it should be carried out to the end, Zhang Fangshi's words expressed everyone's hearts.

"I understand this!" Jia Yucun responded.

Zhang Fangshi asked again: "When will the Fuzun send this performance to the Political Secretary?" ”

This obviously didn't believe Jia Yucun, thinking that he was prevaricating, so he asked him to give an explanation.

"Just today!" Jia Yucun frowned.

"Good...... I am willing to go with the government! ”

Hearing this, the rest of the officials present felt a lot more calm, but Jia Yucun felt extremely gloomy.

So he didn't answer again, but went out with a cold snort.

After he left, the magistrate stretched out his thumb and said approvingly: "Lord Zhang, you really have you!" ”

"We are all acting on orders, and when the sky falls, there should be a master to stand up to it!"

"Okay, let's say a few words, Fuzun also has his difficulties!" Zhang Fangshi sighed.

While everyone was talking, Jia Yucun came to the back of the yamen, which was the official residence where he lived.

"Master, the uncle of the Xue family is here!"

"Uncle Xue?" Jia Yucun repeated it before remembering who it was.

"Where is he?"

"It's in the outer hall, and it's said that it's important to find the master!"

"Hmm!"

Jia Yucun came to the outer hall, and sure enough, he saw Xue Pan inside, playing with the device on the shelf at the moment.

"Brother Xue Xian's arrival really makes the humble house shine!" Jia Yucun welcomed in.

Now that the Xue family has a princess, Xue Pan has become the prince's eldest brother, and Jia Yucun does not dare to slack off with this relationship alone.

"Jia Zhifu, you are too polite...... This time, I'm here to ask for your help! Xue Pan expressed his purpose very directly.

After signaling Xue Pan to sit down, a servant had already brought tea at this moment, and Jia Yucun asked, "What trouble is the virtuous brother in trouble?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I have a friend who was detained by Shangyuan County a few days ago for selling smuggled salt, so I want to ask Fuzun to help me turn around!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain!"

This time, Xue Pan was really entrusted by someone, and the five thousand taels of silver tickets he took out at this moment were taken by the family of the person who was arrested.

Selling illicit salt is a big thing or a small thing, if someone else comes to ask for it, Jia Yucun may raise his noble hand.

However, now in the entire Jinling officialdom, because Zhu Jinghong has specially greeted him, no one will sell Xue Pan's face.

Not only can they not be sold, but they will be found to prove their innocence, and the officials will act more strictly according to the rules.

"Brother Xian, the state has national laws and family rules, and I am an official of the imperial court...... How can you bend the law for personal gain! ”

Jia Yucun sighed and said, "Brother Xian, you should take back these silver tickets!" ”

actually hit a wall again, Xue Pan's heart was full of anger, and he left directly after putting away the silver ticket, which was extremely rude.

The Xue family's business wants to be tariff-free, and the Xue family wants to forcibly occupy a wealthy garden, but now they have hit a wall again when they ask Jia Yu Village to release them......

Thinking of what happened recently, it was even more than before Baochai was elected as the princess, and even the silver ticket lost its due usefulness, which made Xue Pan feel bad when he thought about it.

Speaking of Jia Yucun, after sitting at home for a while, he returned to the government after feeling that his mentality had calmed down, and at this moment everyone had signed and completed.

After checking and confirming that it was correct, Jia Yucun picked up the chapter and had to go to the political secretary first.

Before leaving, Jia Yucun stopped beside Shangyuan Zhixian and ordered: "You have recently caught the thief who sells illegal salt? ”

"It's true!" Shangyuan Zhixian replied.

"This case must be handled strictly!"

After saying this, Jia Yucun walked out of the inner hall, and Zhang Fangshi really followed.

First go to the political secretary, then press the judge, and finally patrol the yamen, although these three places are not far apart, but it is enough for Jia Yu Village to be busy for a while.

Let's say that Xue Pan returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it at the moment, the more angry he became, and then he couldn't help but drop something, and then he was called by Aunt Xue to reprimand him.

In front of his mother, Xue Pan didn't dare to refute.

But after Aunt Xue finished training, Xue Pan asked, "Mother...... When are we going to Kyosato? ”

"To Kyori? Didn't you say...... Want to take care of your family affairs in Jinling? Aunt Xue said coldly.

That was Xue Pan's previous thoughts, he felt that with the prince's eldest brother, he could eat on the ground in Jinling, but the reality gave him a slap in the face.

So now he feels that he should go to the capital, where he may be able to borrow his sister's momentum, at least no worse than in Jinling.

Seeing that his mother had doubts, Xue Pan said again: "Mother, don't forget, my son is not too young, and now the marriage should be stepped up!" ”

"And the matter of the official body of the household department, there is no result so far, if the son continues to mess around in Jinling, how can he be worthy of the ancestors!"

You say this guy is not smart, and he knows how to find these reasons.

Moved by emotion and reasoned, Aunt Xue was naturally persuaded at this moment.

Whether Xue Pan marries or obtains an official status, it is a first-class event for her.

"Then you pack up and arrange all the things properly, and let's go to the capital!"

"The child obeys!"

At this moment, Xue Pan, who was seventeen or eighteen, was really like a big boy, laughing and running out.

But when he summoned his clansmen to give a lecture, it was a different story, at least no one in the Xue family dared to despise him, let alone question his arrangement.

There is a princess in the big house, no matter how Xue Pan comes to the house, everyone can only endure it again.

When Xue Pan arranged for people to prepare to enter Beijing, he didn't know that because of his own interference, the government would strictly try the case.

However, this trial was terrible, and it actually led to the old case of Tongwei, which led to the intervention of Jinyi Wei Jinling Thousand Households.

And the final result was that the son-in-law, who participated in family affairs for the first time, died in the prison of Jinling Qianhu.

Originally, because of the Qingzhang incident, Jinling became a powder keg, and as soon as this matter came out, someone secretly added fuel to the fire, and finally it became a matter of the government brutalizing the good people, so that a civil uprising was provoked in Yingtianfu.

On September 25, a large number of civilians who had lost their profits in the Qing Dynasty, and tens of thousands of tenants instigated by foreign families, appeared outside Yingtianfu City and demanded a clear explanation from the government.

Fortunately, the government reacted in time and closed the city gate so that the rebels did not break into the city.

Under the anger of the crowd, the soldiers of the Thousand Households of the Ying Heavenly Guard, as well as the officers of the various official offices, were all sent to the city wall.

And Xue Pan, the initiator of the butterfly effect, embarked on the road to Beijing as early as three days ago.

Jinling is the commander of the embassy, and the inner hall is on duty.

"My lord, according to the official letter from the judge, I hope that we will transfer troops from Zhenjiangwei and Chuzhouwei as soon as possible to strengthen the defense of Yingtian!"

Hearing the advice of his subordinates, Du Commander made Wang Quanyi unmoved, but said, "Then reply to them...... Let's just say that the matter of transferring troops is very important, and now the situation is still under control, it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in vain! ”

Now the people are besieging the city, but the situation is still under control, and it is only necessary to make the guards more vigilant.

It is the responsibility of the government to appease the people, and Wang Quanyi does not want to get involved in this matter at all.

If the situation gets out of control or even unnecessary casualties due to the increase in troops, Wang Quanyi will have to be held accountable for the impeachment of the imperial historian.

Therefore, even according to the second letter from the judge, Wang Quanyi still refused without hesitation.

"Yes!"

After the scribe left, he commanded the same acquaintance Kong Jinshan and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that we will have to make plans early!" ”

"If we really let the mob occupy the city, we can't explain it!"

"Then send an order to Chuzhou Wei and Zhenjiang Wei first, and ask them to prepare two thousand soldiers each on standby, and immediately go to Yingtian as soon as there is a situation!"

Under normal circumstances, even the capital division cannot transfer troops at will, but the current siege of the mob is not among them, so Wang Quanyi can give this order.

Immediately afterwards, Kong Jinshan said: "Maybe you can also inform Xiaolingwei and let them prepare to defend the city!" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Quanyi also agreed.

Xiaolingwei is not under the jurisdiction of the Jinling Metropolitan Division, so they cannot issue orders directly, but must cooperate with each other.

"These people have made a mess and caused us trouble!" Wang Quanyi couldn't help but scold.

What happened in Yingtianfu in the past six months, Wang Quanyi was generally clear, and he understood that it was the gentry and rich families who were making trouble and leading the hatred of the people to the government.

…………

At this moment, according to the judge's yamen, the chief of the second division of the clan and the subordinate officials in the yamen have all gathered in the inner hall to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Now it has led to civil unrest, which is a big deal! ”

"At worst, it is said that we have no way to educate, and if it is serious, it is a rebellion!" He Gujin's tone was extremely stern.

"No matter what, you and I have failed the trust of the Holy Lord, and we should both take responsibility for this matter!"

Having said that, it was definitely He Gujin and Zheng Xianlin who had the heaviest responsibility, so the subordinate officials present were not nervous.

"The people were originally in the countryside, and they gathered so quickly, and there must have been someone behind the instigation, and I was worried...... It's a stupid man between you and me, wearing a pair of pants with this local gentry! ”

"The fate of Qian Ruiming last year, I think you haven't forgotten it, it's too late to stop now!"

Even if someone at the scene colluded with the local gentry, it was impossible to take the initiative to admit it at this moment, so He Gujin only hoped to persuade these people to stop.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... You and I are both foreign officials, and to be honest, we have nothing to do with the local gentry! ”

"Lord He is in his heart, he doesn't treat you as outsiders, you have to think about it carefully!"

Zheng Xianlin looked around at everyone, and then said: "It's too late to stop now, and after the fact, the Jinyi guard will strictly investigate, I'm afraid there will be no room for turnaround!" ”

At this time, the next person said: "Since Lord Zheng has explained what he said, he also has something to say about his humble position!" ”

This person is Wang Xin, the political secretary of the political department, who is in charge of the land and land of a province, and knows everything about the affairs of Tianqingzhang.

"You say!" Zheng Xianlin said calmly.

"Today's incident, on the surface, is due to the case of illegal salt and the case of the common widow, but in fact, it is the local gentry who provoke and intend to disrupt the government of Ying Tianqing!"

"Therefore the lowly position means that the thief is captured before the king...... As long as you take down those big households in Yingtian, this catastrophe may be solved! ”

"Arresting people without evidence is so difficult to convince the public!"

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means...... This discussion may be referred to in detail! ”

Listening to the discussion of the people below, Zheng He and the others were angry in their hearts, these people were obviously in the mood of watching the excitement, otherwise they would not have made such a reckless request.

Now it's just in response to the turmoil in the world, if you really arrest these big families in the city, you will be cut off from Shilin, and I'm afraid that the whole Jinling will have to be in chaos.

"What do you think?" Zheng Xianlin looked at He Gujin.

"To put it bluntly, the people were deceived by others, so they pointed the finger at the government, as long as the matter is explained clearly, everything can be solved!"

"The people must have lost their interests, how can you explain it? Who can explain it clearly? Zheng Xianlin said angrily.

While the two of them were talking, the people below also quieted down and listened.

When He Gujin's gaze swept over, these people all turned their heads to the side, for fear that they would be ordered to appease the people at this time.

"Then whoever brings the trouble, let whoever goes!"

"You mean Governor Jia?"

"Hmm...... And Shangyuan that county! He Gujin nodded.

"But what if they can't persuade them?" Zheng Xianlin asked.

If Jia Yucun can't persuade him, and he wants to continue to persuade him, he will have to ask someone with a higher official position to appear.

And the official positions of everyone present are higher than those of Jia Yucun.

Several political and senators, the deputy envoy looked at the roof, and no one wanted to wade into this troubled water at this time.

"Jia Yucun can't persuade me, I'll persuade again!" He Gu Jin said with a cold face.

"The mob behaves in a brutal manner, if there is a ...... in the pool"

didn't wait for Zheng Xianlin to finish speaking, he heard He Gu Jin say: "Since this is the case, Lao Zheng ...... Or you go! ”

"This ...... I can't do it anymore, look at my bones......"

Seeing that Zheng Xianlin was reasoning with the facts, He Gujin didn't talk nonsense with him.

"By the way, now the matter has to be played to the saint, you and I will play it jointly!" He Gu said in a deep voice.

"It should be like this......" After speaking, Zheng Xianlin added: "Zhao Xun should also be asked to sign it!" ”

"Exactly!"

About half an hour later, Jia Yucun received an official letter signed by the three halls, asking him to explain the situation to the people and try to persuade them to return to their hometowns.

"Hmph...... These people, one by one, are shrunken turtles! ”

"Don't they know how it happened? Interpretation...... No matter how clearly the case is explained, will these people go back? ”

At this moment, he was not in the mansion, but in the Yamen of the Imperial History of Salt Patrol not far away, and his complaints Lin Ruhai heard them all.

Lin Ruhai sighed: "They just know too well what is involved behind this...... That's why one is farther away than the other! ”

His health has always been not good, and he fainted a few days ago, but he survived this year.

"Brother Lin, what do you think I should do?"

"Persuade...... It's good to be able to persuade them to leave, but if they can't be persuaded to leave, they will report to three classes again, so that they will have to worry about it! Lin Ruhai replied.

According to the authority given by the emperor before, Jia Yucun can find out the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him to justice to set an example.

But now that the boss is not strong, he can only follow the order, and brute force may be able to resolve the crisis, but the risk will increase sharply to the point of crushing him, Jia Yucun will naturally not take this road.

I only heard Lin Ruhai say with a smile: "Brother Jia, this Qingzhang matter is done, I'm afraid you should also be promoted!" ”

Jia Yucun shook his head and said, "Alas...... I'm thankful that I survived this catastrophe! ”

Putting away the official letter, Jia Yucun got up and said, "Brother Lin is resting, let's go do things first!" ”

"I'll send you!"

"Stay and stay!"

Looking at the back of Jia Yucun leaving, Lin Ruhai sighed, and then said: "The officialdom is getting worse and worse, let's resign again this year!" ”

Fighting wits and courage with a group of salt merchants, Lin Ruhai thought it would be difficult enough, but compared to Jia Yucun, it was nothing now.

At least he doesn't have to worry about Shilin's comments, and he doesn't have to worry about being liquidated after defeat.
