After receiving a very affirmative answer from Qin Meng, Guan Xiang immediately went down, organized a manpower, and according to Qin Meng's intentions, began to collect evidence of Lu Jiabao.
At the same time, there was news from Li Ying that Patriarch Li Mian expressed his willingness to cooperate with Qin Meng and hand over all the black households in the family's private possession to the Wuwei government.
For this reason, Qin Meng made a big announcement and invited all the powerful locals in Wuwei to the Wuwei government office to give a grand commendation to the Li family, calling on everyone to learn from the Li family and return to the country.
The place that was invited is powerful and ambiguous. Although they praised the feat of the Li family, no one said on the spot that they were willing to follow in the footsteps of the Li family and hand over all the private servants.
Qin Meng did not reluctantly, when the banquet was over, he left Li Mian.
"Mr. Li actively responded to the call of the court and set an example for Wuwei to be strong and powerful. Although the younger is white, he is also the government affairs of Wuwei. Hereby, I would like to represent my colleagues in Wuwei, Mr. Li, and all members of the Li family. To express my deep gratitude."
As Qin Meng said, he took a deep look at Li Mian.
Li Mian hurriedly returned the ceremony: "Master Qin is too polite. As a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty, how can you have ambitions with the court? However, the Li family responded to the court, and some people in the locality will inevitably have some opinions about the Li family, even There was a lot of discussion behind it. The Li family still needs Master Qin to help them."
Qin Meng understood that Li Mian, the old fox, had come to ask for benefits in a subtle way.
This is not an unacceptable thing. After all, the Li family's offering to privately accept illegal households has caused great pressure on other places.
Without giving some benefits, the Li family let other places not tell jokes, and it may also create a bad impression. How can we cooperate with the official? Throw you aside when you're done, it's better to carry it to the end.
Qin Meng waved his hand and asked Li Ying, who was standing beside him, to stand in front of him.
"Li Ying, you did a good job this time. I will give you two choices. First, I will write a letter of recommendation to recommend you to the prince to work. The prince supervises the three soldiers of the army, and the weight is high. When the war is over, the prince will recommend people around him to the imperial court, and he will rank among the imperial court with your skill, which is not unimaginable.
Having said that, Qin Meng observed Li Mian and found that this old fox turned out to be like an ancient well, with his eyes down, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
In fact, Qin Meng was able to find that his body was a little stiff. Obviously, he paid special attention to the things around him.
Qin Meng smiled slightly, and then said, "Another option is Wuwei Jinning and even Honghua. We need to open a market to conduct business with the northern Turks and the Western countries. This business is not a bulk trade such as a trafficker. , But the trade at the national level, which requires loyal and capable people to take over, and it requires a lot of capable and competent personnel to jointly maintain it."
Li Ying kept bowing his hands and listening. After listening to the two choices Qin Meng had given him, he was lost for a while and didn't know which choice to make.
Qin Meng smiled slightly: "Mr. Li is a wise elder. You can discuss with Mr. Li before making a decision."
Li Ying quickly turned his head and looked at Li Mian.
Although Li Mian's facial expression hasn't changed yet, his hand has frequently struck his beard.
After a long while, Li Mian asked, "Master Qin, what you said about commerce and trade involves such a vast area. Is it because the court has approved it?"
Qin Meng smiled and said, "Nothing yet. But Li Ying should know. That day, when the military officer beat me, the eldest eldest Sun had seen my memorial, but he tried his best to intercede for me. Regarding the border trade, the eldest grandson may not be necessary. It can be settled, but the emperor will definitely be played. With the trust of the emperor to the grandson, this matter is imperative."
Li Mian looked at Li Ying and nodded his head without any traces, and then pondered: "I don't know how Master Qin wants to work? Oh, Master Qin, don't get me wrong. Lao Yu is not deliberately exploring the events of the court, but wants to know what the court is going to do. Tian is a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he considers himself to serve the country."
Qin Meng said solemnly: "Now that wars in the northern border are frequent, and a hundred waste is waiting for prosperity, the court certainly does not have a large amount of material input. I am planning to support this stall with private financial resources. Of course, the private financial resources are not used for nothing, but to get rich Return. The court will use tax as a guarantee to slowly repay the investment."
I scratched Li Mian's heart frequently. Qin Meng obviously meant that he had a white wolf in his spare time. If this is to throw in money, if there is a turmoil, how powerful are you, dare to ask the court for investment
Qin Meng knew what Li Mian thought. He smiled and said: "Mr. Li, Qinghe Lin, I must be very familiar with you. Lin’s daughter came here, and there was a lot of rumors. The Lin will come in the next spring. If there is no powerful person to contribute money by then, I have to use Lin's wealth alone."
Li Mian's face couldn't help but twitch.
After a long while, Li Mian said, "Master Qin, Lao Yu absolutely believes in Master Qin. However, the family affairs are not controlled by the old man alone. Can you give me a time limit? After I discuss it with your family, you can do it again. Decision?"
Qin Meng laughed loudly and said: "The sage teaches that the gentleman establishes the world. It is neither the Qi family nor the country to rule the country, nor the country to pacify the world. The family affairs are discussed more and they must be harmonious. However, with the grandson, it will be soon. If there is an answer, I will not hug the Buddha's feet temporarily, I will definitely be vigorous and resolute. I missed the opportunity, I am afraid that I miss the Li family, and I can't do it."
Li Mian hurriedly stated that he would reply as soon as possible. After a few chats, Li Mian took Li Ying to retire, and went home to convene the young Gao Deshao in the family to discuss this matter.
In just one day, the Li family had a decision.
Li Ying said to Qin Meng that he would rather follow Master Qin and have no ambitions.
At the same time, the Li family is willing to respond to Qin Meng's call and make due contributions to Wuwei border trade affairs.
Without any hesitation, Qin Meng immediately appointed Li Ying as Wuwei Wei, in charge of the Wuwei Public Security Department, and worked with Qin Meng to plan the scale of the market outside the North City.
Li Ying followed Qin Meng's instructions. A three-part report was issued, based on the public opinion of the folk survey, and the need to open a trade fair, the military supervision, the post, and the three divisions of the Ministry of Households.
The first response was the joint response of Changsun Sheng and Yang Lin. The reply mentioned that border trade can be tried, but the scale should not be too large. It will be used as a pilot in Wuwei temporarily and will be promoted when the achievements are outstanding.
When Qin Meng didn't respond, he dared to do it. With the replies of Yang Lin and Chang Sun Sheng, he immediately realized his plan step by step.
As the weather is getting colder, Yang Lin needs to return to Beijing to report on his duties, but Changsun Sheng finally set off for the bitter and cold place of Turks, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Turks to recuperate in winter and perform their duties.
There are frequent exchanges of official documents on Qin Meng's side. First, the Ministry of Households issued a document affirming the behavior of Qin Meng's census local tycoons to privately accept black households, and at the same time gave Qin Meng a lot of power.
Wuwei suffered a raid from the city this year, and restoration of production required a lot of investment. However, the court could not produce the materials needed by Qin Meng for a while. Therefore, it was decentralized and must be resolved by itself.
Solve it yourself. Everyone knows that it is enough to take advantage of the decentralized power and adopt methods to gather all the necessary materials.
When he didn't have the power, Qin Meng dared to apportion it forcibly, and when this power was released, Qin Meng was even more confident.
Except for the Jian Zi Er Ying's second battalion, all soldiers. All of them were allocated to Guan Xiang and other Wuwei officials, and the efforts should be strengthened strictly and quickly, so as to completely resolve all matters involved in illegal households in Wuwei where all local tycoons were involved in private affairs before the New Year.
For local officials, once Shangfeng issues a death order, it can only be completed in advance, and there is no delay or even completion.
Originally, Qin Meng's idea was to take a few steps, first to advise, hoping that the Wuwei local government would cooperate, and then to warn, explaining the advantages and disadvantages, and deterring and cooperating.
If it doesn’t work, it’s about doing it, collecting evidence, and tidying up in accordance with national law.
But if you follow Qin Meng's vision, it will take a long time and enough patience.
Now, there are only two or three months. Who is not afraid that the task will not be completed at the last minute
Simply save the first two steps and go directly to the final step. Anyway, the boss has sent all the soldiers down, and it is better to complete the task earlier than anything else!
All of a sudden, the people in Wuwei flew up and down, and the locals howled horribly.
In late October, just after it snowed, Wuwei issued the first county-wide bulletin.
There are more than 500 illegal households in Wuwei Lujia, involving more than 10,000 illegal households. The evidence is conclusive. In addition to bringing all the illegal households into the Wuwei household registration management, five times the punitive penalty and confiscating should be paid various land tax person taxes.
Heihu farms the land. All of them will be nationalized, and the Wuwei government will plan and organize them in a unified way, and divide the fields and the farmers needed.
As for the Lu family and others, they were punished according to the specific circumstances.
Not long after, another county-wide notification came down. Another local giant in Wuwei received the same punishment as the Lu family.
At the end of the announcement, it was stated that the Wuwei government will do whatever it takes to crack down on the behavior of private individuals. Two families have been investigated and dealt with. It is hoped that families with similar behaviors will actively cooperate with the Wuwei government. Hurry up and pay the tax, otherwise, the more you go, the more severe the punishment will be.
As soon as the announcement came out, in Wuwei Palace, there were people from various families who came to cooperate with each other, and some came to intercede with each other.
Regardless of Wuwei's location in the northern frontier of the Great Sui Dynasty, it is very powerful. From Qin Meng, he even received a lot of letters from the capital, pleading vaguely for the local power.
When Qin Meng started, he also read these kinds of letters. Seeing that there were more and more letters of this kind, he simply ignored them and asked Guan Xiang to send these letters, along with his work report to the Beijing News, directly to the household department.
In the twelfth lunar month, the local tycoons in Wuwei were basically beaten up. What shocked Qin Meng was that the local tycoons had not only seized countless grains, but also various imperial controlled substances.
Salt and iron are forbidden by the imperial court and only allowed by the government.
Some places in Wuwei are powerful, and their families have accumulated enough controlled materials for the entire population in Wuwei for a year!
Guan Xiang sorted out all the investigations and sent it to Qin Meng to ask how to deal with it.
"Strictly, there is no discussion." Qin Meng replied with a cold face.
Guan Xiang led his boss to return to life, but did not rush away. He asked, "My lord, what the Lu family is involved in has also been found out. What do you plan to do with the Lu family?" (End of this chapter)
