Chapter 14 The aggrieved Jiang Shu
Jiang Shu's takeover of the Taishou of Shangyang County can be said to be a political exchange between the Jiang family and the scholars.
Everyone understands that the decentralization of military power is an opportunity for everyone, and whoever controls more places in the future will have a greater say in the imperial court.
Jiang Song, as the prime minister, did not support this decree, but made a stumbling block in this matter, and it was Jiang Song who proposed that the three great horsemen sweep the states.
After all, the Jiang family is not on the list of delegated guards this time.
So with Jiang Shu's appointment as Shangyang's Taishou, the Jiang family was assigned to the Taishou position in seven counties, Shangyang was originally not considered, but after Lu Xuan successfully captured Shangyang this time, Jiang Shu saw the importance of Shangyang.
The terrain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is the hub of the north and south, this Shangyang County was not broken by Lu Xuan, and after this Shangyang was broken by Lu Xuan, many caravans chose to take a detour in order to avoid war, which made many people complain.
Someone calculated for Jiang Shu that if the caravan to Kangguo did not go to Yang, the freight along the way would be thirty percent more!
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Shu chose Shangyang County.
As for the other reason, it is a personal vendetta, the shame that Lu Xuan brought him last time, Jiang Yao's death was like a thorn, this time tormented Jiang Shu day and night, he vowed to break Lu Xuan's body into ten thousand pieces with his own hands to relieve the hatred in his heart!
He did not place the governance office in Shangyang County, but in Sanyang County, and he also wanted to destroy everything in Lu Xuan here.
Originally, Jiang Shu thought that his coming to Shangyang County this time would be devastating, although Lu Xuan's early run disappointed him, it was also expected, after all, in the face of the elite army of Tiandu, what did Lu Xuan fight?
Then it's time for him to show his strength, he is quite confident in his ability, and believes that under his own governance, Shangyang County will prosper!
However, the truth was not what he wanted.
"Bang~"
The delicate porcelain was shattered.
"Half a month! It's been half a month, and the green spirit of the moat has not been condensed, but it has made the people's resentment boiling! What are you doing!? Jiang Shu looked at the Confucian scholars in the hall who were appointed by him as the county commander, and his eyes seemed to be about to eat people.
"Childe ......" A Confucian was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Jiang Shu.
"Call me Taishou-sama!"
"Lord Taishou, this ......" Confucius hesitated for a moment and said: "The thief's previous move to divide the land is really difficult to deal with, and the rich families in all counties have come to ask for the lost cultivated land, and they all have the title deed of the imperial court in their hands, but the people have been planting for half a year, and now they are about to harvest, and they suddenly want to take back the land, and the people are naturally unwilling." ”
"There have been riots in many places, and many of the tax collectors we have sent have gone and never returned, and these untouchables don't know what they have bewitched, and now they will do it if they don't say a word to the court officials, and they will send people over, and the people of a village will rush out to fight, which is really ......."
"Then send troops to suppress it, do you want me to teach you this kind of thing!?" Jiang Shu frowned.
According to those who escaped by luck, there were bandits who made a rebellion, but these bandits did not go to plunder the people, but they singled out our people, and now the county officials and yacha do not dare to go out of the city." A county magistrate smiled wryly.
"Do you know where these bandits are?" Jiang Shu keenly sensed that something was wrong, and frowned.
"The local people are protecting them, our people can't investigate it at all, and many of the people who inquired about this matter are gone!" An official said aggrievedly.
When the officials have reached this point, they are enough to be a nest, and the people under their rule do not even have the least reverence, and they do not respect them at all.
Jiang Shu slowly calmed down: "The matter of the field, put it aside for the time being, the important thing now is to restore the people's hearts and reunite the green spirit of the city!" ”
Of the thirteen counties in Shangyang, none of them have gathered the green spirit of the city, including Sanyang County, where he personally sits, which makes Jiang Shu very insecure.
"Lord Taishou, I'm afraid this is a little difficult." A county magistrate said cautiously.
"Those big families let them wait, no matter what, gather the green qi of the city first." Jiang Shu frowned.
When officials govern local areas, they generally find cooperation with large households in the local area, and if they want to make political achievements, they also need the help of large households.
But the situation is different now, and we have to get the important things done first.
"My lord, the Shangyang Cui clan is a side branch of the Cui clan in Huangzhou, and there are many other big families who are inextricably linked with the court officials." The prefectural order reminded.
Although Jiang Shu is the grandson of the prime minister, but that's all, this intricate network of relationships in the court is not something that Jiang Song can suppress alone, many of the big clans in this place are the downlines of the major families, providing financial resources for the above, although there are two families, the Jiang family can suppress it, but now it is all!
If it is only done for the Cui family, the other families will definitely be dissatisfied, which is easier to offend people than not doing it at all.
"Then when Lu Xuan is here, why didn't they say it!" Jiang Shu had a headache, how could Lu Xuan be a thief and do it boldly, but he couldn't?
The county magistrates didn't know how to explain it.
In the end, it was Shangyang County Leader who spoke: "My lord, then Lu Xuan is a thief." ”
"So what?" Jiang Shu frowned.
"As far as the lower officials know, Lu Xuan's governance methods are a bit violent." Seeing that Jiang Shu didn't react, he continued: "Anything happened, Lu Xuan didn't ask the reason, didn't ask whether it was right or wrong, let a group of big investors draw lots, and won the lottery......"
"How?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Jiang Shu frowned and asked.
"The door is full of slaughter, and the living creatures that can be found, even the dogs have to be stewed!" The county commander bowed his head and said: "When the anti-thief first entered Shangyang, he was poisoned and killed thirty-four people, after Lu Xuan arrived, he invited all the masters, and if he didn't come, he was beheaded all over the house, and then he used the method of drawing lots to destroy the five gates, so far, including Cui's, no one dares to resist, and no one dares to disobey the yang." ”
"Sanyang County also has, but not by lottery, but by beating the drum and passing the flowers, playing a drum, everyone will pass a flower to protect each other, and when the drum stops, the flower holder ...... Slaughter all over the house! Sanyang County Ling sighed.
"It's the same with Ganxian."
"The same goes for the three rivers."
Listening to the statements of the county orders, the corners of Jiang Shu's mouth twitched.
This Lu Xuan...... is a little ruthless, destroying people at every turn, changing places, Jiang Shu feels that he has to compromise.
There is no way to compromise and no one dares to joke with the lives of the whole family.
This practice, while brutal, is clearly effective.
As for whether Jiang Shu dared to do this...... Of course not.
Don't say that his grandfather is the prime minister, even if his grandfather is the emperor, he doesn't dare to do this.
"I didn't dare to resist Lu Xuan, but I jumped out when I came, okay! Okay very! Jiang Shu gritted his teeth and said, the first time he became an official, he felt that people's hearts were sinister.
I thought that my appearance would be the hope of the great cadres, and the future of the great cadres, who knew that it would be such a mess, the people did not obey the discipline, and the local wealthy families were aggressive.
"The matter...... Do you have a way to crack it? After a while, Jiang Shu sighed and asked everyone, he was extremely proud, thinking that he could solve all problems with his own intelligence, but right now, he was a little at a loss, his pride was broken by Lu Xuan again, and he needed someone to help him.
Now the fields of the people can't be moved, and if they move the green qi of the city, don't think about cohesion, and the big households in various places also need to be appeased.
"My lord, according to my opinion, since the people's hearts are no longer in me, it is better to give it a go and take back the land first!" A county magistrate spoke up.
"In this way, the people's grievances are boiling, when will we be able to gather the green spirit of the city?" Jiang Shu frowned.
"In fact, it is not difficult for the people to complain, as long as the person in charge of this matter is pushed out to let the people vent their anger, most of the people's grievances can be calmed down, and then some policies to benefit the people will be promulgated, and the grain will be opened, and the people's will will naturally return." The prefectural commander smiled.
To put it simply, find someone to be in charge of the matter, and when the matter is done, kill the person to the common people's grievances.
When Jiang Shu heard this, he glanced at the county order and did not answer, but he did not say anything about it.
"Lord Taishou, the main members of the anti-thief command you want, the villain has sorted it out!" At this moment, Jia Youdao came in with a few books and looked at Jiang Shu with a smile on his face.
Looking at Jia Youdao's flattering smile, Jiang Shu's cold face eased a lot, reached out and picked up a book and opened it to look at it, it was very detailed, Jia Youdao wrote down everything that could be found in every capital under Lu Xuan's command, and it could be seen that a lot of effort had been put in.
"Jia Xiancheng is doing a good job." Jiang Shu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Jia Youdao and said, "I am very satisfied with your ability." ”
"It's the adults who are well-trained." Jia Youdao hurriedly bowed.
"To be a county prince is a condescending talent." Jiang Shu pondered.
"Villain...... A businessman, to have today, is very satisfied. Jia Youdao hurriedly said.
"I have a county order here and I need to return to Tiandu, and there is a vacancy in the position of this county order, I wonder if Jia County Cheng is willing to take over?" Jiang Shu sighed.
The big pie fell on his head, Jia Youdao's body trembled, kowtowed to Jiang Shu and said, "Villain...... No, lowly ...... No, the lower officials are willing to go to the soup for the adults! ”
"That's not necessary, but to be a county order, you need to have merit, otherwise you can't convince the public, I'm very optimistic, but I also need everyone's approval, in this way, the recent collection of the land to each family is being prepared, lack of a person who understands Shangyang County, you are a person from Shangyang County, you want to come to Shangyang County all over the big households are no strangers, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, I will give you a team, you can cooperate with the big households around the country, help them deal with this matter, do it well, this county order is yours!" Jiang Shu got up, personally delivered an official seal to Jia Youdao and said with a smile: "This official is very optimistic about you, don't let me down." ”
"Multi-...... Thank you for the cultivation of adults, the villains are unforgettable! Jia Youdao took the official seal tremblingly and said to Jiang Shu.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for your news." Jiang Shu sat back in his place and smiled.
"Yes!" Jia Youdao cautiously got up with the official seal, and after saluting Jiang Shu, he strode out, at this moment he was full of confidence in the future.
"My lord, although the matter of this field has been resolved, the bandits in Shangyang County must be eliminated." An official said.
Diao Min is so bold, and it is inseparable from the rampant bandits of these bandits, and now the county officials dare not go out of the city.
"This is not difficult, Lu Yu." Jiang Shu didn't care about this matter and said.
"In!" An accompanying martial artist came out and saluted Jiang Shu.
"From today onwards, you will be the lieutenant of Shangyang County, and within a month, you will wipe out all the bandits in Shangyang for me." Jiang Shu handed him an official seal.
Lu Yu is one of the eight sixth-grade martial artists accompanying Jiang Shu, a sixth-grade martial artist, cleaning up a group of innate bandits at most, isn't it easy to capture?
"Command!"
