Chapter 331: The cold arrow behind

Views:

The various government affairs of Yongping Mansion have made rapid progress under the strong pressure of Zhou Zheng.

By mid-May, roughly the number of households, fields, etc. everywhere fell on Zhou Zheng's desk.

Zhou Zheng looked at the new materials sent by Zhang Heyi, and said: "The population is 220,000, and the fields are 11,000 hectares..."

Zhang Heyi said: "According to the estimates of the lower officials, the population and acres are still concealed, but it should not be much. This figure is probably nearly 80%."

"80%, well, such a short time is fine." Zhou Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was not dissatisfied, Zhang Heyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, next, the next official is going to re-measure the fields and divide them. There should be acres in each household, which will increase, and the people will not be dissatisfied."

When he got here, Zhou Zheng was not relaxed, but pressure increased, saying: "Well, ten li is one village and ten villages are one town. The chief, village chief, and town chief must all be appointed by their own officials, and then the village is the village. Basic, rapid land measurement must be carried out at the same time, speed up, divide as soon as possible, and not drag..."

Zhang Heyi sullenly raised his hand, and said, "Yes! Xiaguan, Master Yao, Master Ding, etc. are going to go to various places and personally supervise them to ensure that there will be no troubles."

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said: "Everyone who can use it, don't divide internally and externally. We are in urgent need of manpower now, and we can't delay it. Even if there are some problems, it doesn't matter. The key is speed. Some minor problems can be made up in the future..."

"Yes, the next official obeyed!" Zhang Heyi said.

When Zhang Heyi left, Zhou Zheng called Shangguan Lie and said, "Where is Cao Bianjiao now?"

Shangguan Lie looked up and thought for a long time, and said, "My sister was in Funing County two days ago, and Cao Jinsheng should be in Changli County."

Zhou Zhengdao: "You call back Cao Bianjiao and your sister. Two hundred people from Cao Bianjiao and three hundred from your sister are brought back. Others continue to suppress bandits according to the plan."

Shangguan Lie was startled and said, "My lord, what happened?"

Zhou Zheng handed a piece of paper to Shangguan Lie, and said: "According to what I mean, write an official document and then distribute it."

Shangguan Lie took it in puzzlement and looked at the document, his eyes widened and surprised.

This is an official recruitment document. The content of the above is probably that all the soldiers who join the army have an annual salary of 20 taels, the clothes and soldiers are provided by the government, and there are generous subsidies and pensions for injuries and deaths. In addition, as long as the army has been in the army for three months, you can Advance half a year's salary in advance!

Twenty-two, the general five-rank official is equivalent to this salary. It can be advanced for half a year in advance, this is too rich!

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a cold face, and said, "I want to recruit 10,000 people in three months. All of you have to contribute, understand?"

Shangguan Lie looked at Zhou Zheng in a daze. He knew that another important task of Zhou Zheng was to purge Yongping Mansion to support Liaodong, but he recruited 10,000 people in three months. How much money does it cost

However, he reacted quickly and repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, I will find someone to write, and then through the six rooms, send it to each li, go to the village."

Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "Go ahead."

Shangguan Lie took Zhou Zheng's handwriting and hurried away.

Zhou Zheng heard the door closing and took the letter at hand.

This was written to him by Papa Zhou. Zhou Qingli was always cautious and kept quiet, so that he could write to Zhou Zheng personally, indicating that the seriousness in the capital has reached a certain level.

Zhou Zheng looked at this letter, thinking constantly in his heart.

Daddy Zhou's letter seemed unremarkable, asking him about his current situation in Yongping Mansion. Between the lines, he said a little bit, "The wind fluctuates, people are panicked, fearing that there will be changes, and you must be cautious."

Zhou Zheng stared at this sentence, stayed silent for a long time, picked up his pen, and began to write a letter.

After finishing writing this one, Zhou Zheng hesitated, once again picked up the pen, and wrote another one, this one is for Li Zhong.

Li Zhong is Zhou Zheng's most important chess piece, and he doesn't want to use it as a last resort. However, Yongping Mansion is very important, especially since Jianlu might enter the customs from Xifengkou next year, which really disturbs Zhou Zheng.

No, you have to use it.

Zhou Zheng quickly wrote the letter and sent it to the capital as soon as possible.

Yongping Mansion is now in chaos. On the one hand, Zhou Zheng pushed forward vigorously. I don’t know how many people were dissatisfied. The suppression bandit affected the entire Yongping Mansion. The suppression bandit army was a knife hanging over everyone. It made them fearful and afraid to move, but also resented and worried and could not sleep.

Late at night, an unexpected guest came to Zheng Qing's mansion.

Zheng Qing looked at him with a panic expression, and said, "You, you are..."

The visitor was an old man in his 60s and 70s. He leaned on a cane and said, "Master Zheng, why didn't you file a letter to impeach Zhou Zheng?"

Zheng Qing was still panicking. He had met this person five years ago. He was the prefect of Yongping Mansion 15 years ago, and even Zhang Yonglian's old husband. Isn't it rumored that he is dead

Zheng Qing woke up quickly, her eyes flickered, and then smiled bitterly: "Old man, it's not that the officer didn't want to, but that Zhou Zheng ** was too prestigious. He told me bluntly that if I had a slight change, I would take the case with Lingzi Link together and go directly to prison."

The old man's name was Zhang Deyao. He snorted coldly and said, "Now the government and the public have a lot of criticisms about Zhou Zheng's actions at Yongping Mansion. You write a letter, and I write another letter, and you can send Zhou Zheng to jail."

Zheng Qing thought that Zhang Deyao had been in Beijing for the past few years, and said, "My lord, what arrangements do you have in Beijing?"

Zhang Deyao looked indifferent, with endless anger and killing intent in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Will you write a book?"

Zheng Qing was forced by Zhou Zheng to become a bird, and he was worried all day long, not only for fear of being thrown out by Zhou Zheng as a scapegoat, but also for fear of Zhou Zheng's incident. Listening to Zhang Deyao's words, his eyes changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The official and the old man Book together!"

Zhang Deyao gave a hum, turned and walked away on crutches.

Zheng Qing stretched out his hand to stop, but didn't know what to say, so he could only watch Zhang Deyao leave.

Standing in place for a while, Zheng Qing looked ruthless, entered the study, picked up the pen and began to write.

Zhou Zheng is still busy with his affairs. With the fields in various places, Huding probably knows that the next step is to measure the fields and re-divide them. The resistance here will be greater than before.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng had already controlled the Yongping Mansion, and Cao Bianjiao's bandit army could frighten those who wanted to be unpredictable at any time.

Zhou Zheng also set up the'Propaganda Department' for the first time, vigorously promoted his policy in Yongping Prefecture, and won many famous people to preach in Yongping Prefecture to win the greatest support.

The innovation of Yongping Mansion was vigorous, but it also offended countless people.

Three days later, the capital, the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.

Shi Yanlai and Zhou Qingli were standing at Chongzhen's imperial table. Chongzhen's expression was calm and he could not see any attitude.

Shi Yanlai was holding Zheng Qing's memorial for impeaching Zhou Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, Yongping Mansion passed the sentence Zheng Qing to impeach Zhou Zhengyun, to persecute officials, and to invade the people. The troubles in Yongping Mansion are anger and people's grievances. It was the imperial envoy who patrolled, and it was also detrimental to the sacred virtues. The minister suggested that Zhou Zhengyun should be called back and be investigated and dealt with strictly!" (End of this chapter)
