Chapter 19: Jiang Shu breaks the game
Jiang Shu's biggest problem now is actually not that he is stuck in the quagmire and unable to move as Li Xingzhi said, although this is the core problem, but it is not the most urgent.
Shangyang County, Cui Fu.
"Lady Jiang, please use tea." After handing Jiang Shu a cup of tea, the young maid bowed and retreated.
Jiang Shu bowed slightly, and only looked at Cui Yuan beside him after the maid retreated: "Shibo, I will move the governance office to Shangyang, there are enough masters around me, Shibo can rest easy." ”
"There's Lord Law." Cui Yuan sighed a little tiredly: "It's just a matter of being a senior, don't mention it again." ”
"Shibo, don't worry about the thief!" Jiang Shu got up and frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to be old, but I also ask my adults to have mercy on our difficult survival." Cui Yuan smiled bitterly: "According to Lu Xuan's words, the family has a good field and a thousand tilts, even if it is a wealthy family, according to this statement, at this time last year, there are as many as eighty-nine wealthy families in this Shangyang City, when Lu Xuan first broke through Shangyang, there were no eight households, and when he broke through Shangyang for the second time, due to poisoning, there were twenty-six households, and after Lu Xuan re-entered the city last time, now there are only twenty-five houses left in Shangyang City. ”
Cui Yuan said very plainly, but Jiang Shu only felt a little cold.
Qiantian's family is actually not a big family in the eyes of a big family like him, Sanyang County's Najia Youdao and Pei Ruhai are just wealthy businessmen, and the fields in the clan have Qiantian.
Shangyang City is the seat of Shangyang County, and the big households are not only more land, but also the industries they hold, but Lu Xuan came three times, and the eighty-nine households were gone, and sixty-four households were gone.
How many people are behind these sixty-four households? He didn't dare to calculate, even if it was a county town, the population was far more than that of an ordinary county town, but with this killing method, the population of Shangyang County would have to fall by at least two percent!
Although he had known for a long time that Lu Xuan was happy to slaughter the gentry, when Cui Yuan put the data in front of him at this moment, he was still shocked by Lu Xuan's cruelty! In Lu Xuan's eyes, the big family feels like a grass farmer who is worthless, and if you say kill, you will kill, don't you worry about provoking the big family behind the people?
Can thieves do whatever they want?
Cui Yuan looked at Jiang Shu and said, "My lord, forgive me, it's not that the old man is unreasonable, it's really ...... I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, the old man's family has eight children and thirty-seven grandchildren, even if he wants to send them away now, it's not easy, adults can go to the city to see, how many former Zhong Ding homes have now become abandoned ghost houses? The old man really doesn't want to see this Cui Mansion become like that, what kind of face does he have to meet his ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs? ”
Seeing Jiang Shu's ugly face, Cui Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "The matter of plowing the field, adults should not be in a hurry, not in a hurry at this time." ”
"I understand, the little nephew has to go to the Wu family once, so he won't disturb Shibo's rest." Jiang Shu nodded, got up with an ugly face and said goodbye.
"I'll send you." Cui Yuan got up and personally sent Jiang Shu to the door, watching Jiang Shu's back disappear, before returning home, he sighed with some regret.
In all fairness, Jiang Shu can indeed be regarded as a young talent, not bad in terms of knowledge or ability.
It's a pity that he met Lu Xuan.
He still lacks understanding of Jiang Shu, but judging from the short contact, Cui Yuan feels that Jiang Shu is inferior to Lu Xuan, he has worked under Lu Xuan and knows Lu Xuan's style very well.
This person is not only good at killing, many things, Lu Xuan can solve them easily, and he points to the problem itself, and even if he encounters a problem, Lu Xuan has never seen Jiang Shu's entanglement in his eyes, to be precise, Jiang Shu has a framework for doing things, within this framework, Jiang Shu can do very well, but without this framework, Jiang Shu will be at a loss, and Lu Xuan, when he encounters this kind of framework, he will directly break it.
Jiang Shushao's courage to break the framework is this.
"Husband, you didn't agree, did you?" When she returned to the main hall, Mrs. Cui was directing the maid to pack up the tea set, and when she saw him come in, she hurriedly asked.
"How can you say yes?" Cui Yuan smiled bitterly: "He's late!" ”
If Jiang Shu had set the place of governance in Shangyang as soon as he came, he might not have had so many things later, but unfortunately Jiang Shu didn't know why he settled in Sanyang, causing Shangyang to be slaughtered by Lu Xuan again.
Now Jiang Shu's biggest problem is not that he is in a quagmire, but that there is no one available, he brought thirteen Confucian students, and now there are twelve left, but for a county to operate, it is impossible to have only one county order, and it needs the cooperation of all aspects.
After this incident, who would dare to come out to help Jiang Shu again?
Even the Cui family chose to compromise with Lu Xuan, let alone other families?
As for those wealthy businessmen in Sanyang County, even if Jiang Shu wants to use it, who wants to come out with Jia Youdao's experience in front of him?
It's not Lu Xuan but Jiang Shu who copied Jia Youdao, even if Jia Youdao is wrong, just kill Jia Youdao, and destroy the people, it's not in line with the law and feelings, you Jiang Shu is not Lu Xuan, this kind of thing Lu Xuan can make people come out to help, and if you do it, it will only make people hide and leave.
Even if you are forced out, do you still expect them to help you fight against Lu Xuan?
Jiang Shu visited almost all the families in Shangyang County in one day, but none of them agreed to Jiang Shu's invitation, so naturally he didn't dare to snub Jiang Shu, but he refused very resolutely.
Jiang Shu didn't return to the yamen until late at night, and the frustration and irritability of finding nothing made him smash everything he could see.
"Adults shouldn't kill the whole clan of Naja Youdao." Confucius sighed, and wanted to persuade at that time, but he knew the character of his son, and he didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back.
What's the use of saying that now? I just want to know how to break the game!? Jiang Shu looked at Confucian with a fierce look in his eyes, obviously he was the stronger party, why was he forced to look like this by Lu Xuan's thief?
"Conform to the will of the people." Confucian bowed.
"Conform to the will of the people?" Jiang Shu looked at Confucian Sheng and somewhat understood: "You mean, follow Lu Xuan's plan to divide the fields?" ”
"Yes, the reason why the adults are struggling now is only because the public opinion of Shangyang County is in Lu Xuan, but the great cadres have ruled Kyushu for 800 years, even if the people are dissatisfied now, but the great cadres are still upright, I think the adults are traveling to various families today, although they have not been able to get help, but this matter of ploughing the fields, presumably all families are not forced anymore." Confucius smiled.
Jiang Shu nodded, this is the only good news.
"In that case, the Lord confessed to it."
"People don't want it for the time being, and it doesn't mean that they don't want it all the time, if I make this a foregone conclusion, how can they let it?" Jiang Shu frowned.
Don't want it for the time being, because he is afraid of Lu Xuan, but if he completely confirms this matter, it will be equivalent to the court recognizing this matter, and for the people, since the court has recognized it, there is naturally no need to rely on the Guiyi Religion anymore.
Da Qian is orthodox, as long as Da Qian is still there, this is something deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter how good the promises made by the Guiyi Church, but for the people, the same conditions, are they willing to follow the Gui Yi Church or the court?
You don't have to ask about it.
The advantage is that it can condense the green energy of the city, and these Confucian students he brought are no longer wastes without the power of chickens, at least the city can be saved, and others can go out of the city to do things.
But the disadvantage is that it is equivalent to giving away all the land that people temporarily borrowed from you, ask these families what they think?
Their money has to be handed over, and the big family behind them will be willing?
In order to solve the urgent need and put the future on the line, Jiang Shu is not so stupid.
"We didn't say we were going to give it." Confucian Sheng said with a smile: "My lord only needs to issue a list and say that whoever the cultivated land belongs to now will belong to whoever it belongs to from today onwards, and let people spread it to the counties, and say that this year is exempt from taxes, I think it is enough." ”
Although Jiang Shu is a newcomer to officialdom, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he instantly understood what the other party meant.
Whoever belongs to the cultivated land will belong to whom, this is a nonsense, at first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong, you can understand that we will not take back the land in your hands now, and it will be yours in the future.
But it can also be understood that whoever belongs to this land is whoever it is.
As for who it belongs to...... Of course, it depends on the title deed, and when you investigate it in the future, you can't take the certificate of the Unification Sect to get the land of the imperial court, right?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the ambiguous meaning in this sentence, but how many literate people are ordinary people? Not to mention figuring out what it really means.
"Send someone to make a list!" After understanding what Confucius really meant, Jiang Shu nodded.
Confucius remained silent.
"What else?" Jiang Shu frowned at this and asked.
"Please also lend me the guards under your command, this county yali...... It's not easy to recruit! Confucian Sheng sighed.
The officials of the county government were killed by the villagers on the way to the people before, and then Lu Xuan made a move, but it was not only in Shangyang County, the county soldiers who Lu Yu brought out, and the county soldiers in each county, died most of them, and the rest were gone.
After all, being a county guard and a government official is just a mess of food, bullying and bullying ordinary people at most, and asking them to pay for their lives, who wants to go?
At present, there are only two industries with the highest mortality rate in Shangyang County, one is the gentry, and the second is the county guards.
The county magistrates of the counties, that is, these Confucian scholars who followed Jiang Shu, are basically bare-bones commanders, and the management system of each county is basically paralyzed, and the government decrees can't even get out of the county government, let alone the whole county.
Now if you want to do something, you can only use the private soldiers brought by Jiang Shu, and it is best to send another group of people from Qingyu County to come in, you can't let Jiang Shu's private soldiers do everything.
Jiang Shu felt that his chest was a little blocked, when did he suffer this kind of anger from the dignified Jiang family.
He took out a piece of Kodama plaque from his body and said: "The six products can't be moved, you can arrange the rest, and this person can solve it?" ”
"You can find some idle people to enter the government office, firstly, these people actually know better how to govern people, and secondly, if there is a problem in the future, you can also take out these people to vent the anger of the people." Confucian suggested.
It's nice to be idle, but it's actually those scoundrels who get together and don't do anything serious and bully people all day long, but although this kind of people are mixed, they really encounter things, and they deal with them more effectively.
"It's up to you, do it quickly." Jiang Shu nodded.
"Yes!"
The Confucian priest said goodbye and left, and most of the guards in the palace were suddenly reduced.
Looking at the empty yamen, Jiang Shu exhaled fiercely.
Lu Xuan, you really damn it!
