Chapter 908 Ji Zijuan is forced
The first fire started by Feng Ziying immediately made the entire wealthy families in Lulong County agitated.
Before, they had expected that Xiao Feng Xiuzhan, who had made a great name in the capital city, would definitely not be quiet in this corner of Yongping Mansion, but they never expected that he would first use the military household to hide his house. He performed surgery in Tuntian.
To move people and fields, this directly hits the backs of big households.
Which of the large gentry households in Lulong does not have a hidden military household? Which family has not benefited from the private confiscation of military land and land?
Although every family thinks this is a hidden danger, twenty years have passed, and no one from the previous governors or colleagues has come to pick up this matter. How come this little Feng Xiuzhan came here to rub the tiger's beard? ?
It is not an exaggeration to say that the tiger's beard is being rubbed. This is not a matter of any one family, but at least half of the big gentry in Lulong County are involved. You, a new colleague, want to challenge all the gentry in the entire county?
"Ziying, you have really posed a big problem for me." Zhu Zhiren did not expect that Feng Ziying would be so fierce and fierce. He had previously solved the problem of the craftsmen in Jizhen, and Zhu Zhiren was very satisfied. Although there are factors related to his father, after all, this also involves the interests of the Jizhen military, and it is not that simple.
But now Feng Ziying's blade was pointed at the wealthy gentry in Lulong County, which made Zhu Zhiren's heart tremble.
"Master Fu, I have to say something rude. Our government office lacks prestige in the eyes of these wealthy gentry." Feng Ziying glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "Although the court treats the gentry favorably, but It does not mean that the gentry can be above the government. In addition, the gentry enjoys the preferential treatment of the court, but they should also bear obligations. One of the most important obligations is to set an example and abide by the law. However, it seems that our gentry in Yongping Prefecture do not Failure to do so is even challenging the bottom line of the court's laws."
Feng Ziying's unkind words made Zhu Zhiren's face feel hot. Although he was a little annoyed, he had to admit that what the other party said was true.
The various resistances he encountered in Yongping Mansion were probably caused by these gentry. Why didn't he want to do some things?
Performing some political achievements will also be beneficial to your future promotion.
However, these gentry always find various reasons to obstruct, and they also use some personal connections in the court to greet and set up obstacles, putting themselves in a dilemma. Over time, they also become a little cold and discouraged.
Now that an assistant with such a cool and strong style suddenly came to him, he was still a little uncomfortable and even became a little timid. This made Zhu Zhiren feel uncomfortable in his heart, which quickly turned into a kind of excitement.
Zhu Zhiren is very clear about his shortcomings and advantages.
The shortcoming is that he has a soft temper and does not have a strong backing background in the court. The advantage is that he has stayed in Yongping Mansion for so many years, and he is familiar with everyone. He can be involved in every aspect and knows everything.
The advantages and disadvantages of the person in front of me seem to be exactly opposite to my own.
My father is the governor of Jiliao, and he has reached the ultimate level of a military general. He is also a martial artist. As long as he performs a little meritorious service in the battlefield of Liaodong, his promotion to the prince will be a matter of course.
His mentor was the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lao Jia, who was in charge of the secretarial department, and the person in charge was the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Even Chai Ke, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who had a relationship with the provincial party, was full of praise for him, and there was also a large number of He helped the closely-connected Yonglong 5th-year Jinshi as his wing. In addition, he was a Shujishi, and he had the aura of compilation in the Hanlin Academy.
These connections made Zhu Zhiren unable to help but be jealous.
Zhu Zhiren knows very well that this person has an unlimited future, and now he is just temporarily living here, looking for a suitable platform to take off.
What I have to do is actually very simple, just take this opportunity to cooperate with the other party. No matter what the other party is like, after all, in this Yongping Mansion, I am the well-deserved parent official. If something happens, I can't run away, and I can't do without my achievements. Such an opportunity How could we not catch it?
With a big problem, Zhu Zhiren believes that neither Qi Yongtai nor Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia will not sit at the sight. In this case, what reason he dare not accompany this guy to go crazy?
"Ziying, I understand your ambitions, but some things cannot be done overnight. Maybe taking it step by step can avoid more trouble..." Zhu Zhiren said with a wry smile: "Do you think I don't want to do these things? But you want to It’s not easy to know that this group of gentry has many connections in the capital. The slightest touch will lead to all kinds of criticism and doubts..."
Zhu Zhiren shook his head, "The problem of hiding military households is certainly troublesome, but it is not the most important thing..."
“Your Excellency, are you worried about clearing the land for army camps?” Feng Ziying asked again.
"Yes." Zhu Zhiren changed his previous expression and said solemnly: "Since the past 20 years, for various reasons, there are only 2,000 to 3,000 acres of land left for military settlements, and these 2,000 to 3,000 acres have been replaced by remote areas. How many people are working in the lower fields where we are? This is not something that a group of gentry can do."
Feng Ziying was stunned, "What the governor means is that there are still many problems here, um, are they related to officials?"
"Well, all these fields are concentrated in Lulong. In the past ten or twenty years, the county magistrate has changed several times. Which one dares to pat his chest and say that he has not touched meat and fish in it?" Zhu Zhiren's eyes were cold, "Does Ziying know these magistrates? Where did the county magistrate go in the end?"
Feng Ziying realized the difficulty and frowned, "The army's land and fields are all under the jurisdiction of the military buildings and households in the mansion. Why is it that Lulong County has taken charge of it?"
"Ziying, you don't know the situation below. The military buildings and households in the government office are not specifically managed, but are only responsible for registering and supervising. The specific daily inspections and management are done by the county. Otherwise, this government office In charge of five counties and one state, there are only a few dozen people in each house, and there are still a few land and population in Weizhen. How can we manage it?" Zhu Zhiren is still very familiar with the specific situation of the government office.
“Then the government should also perform supervisory functions. Hasn’t there been any problem in the past twenty years?” Feng Ziying chuckled, as if he didn’t believe it.
"Ziying, these kinds of things are all happening on this piece of land. The people in these houses are all human beings. How can we not see the problem?" Zhu Zhiren shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The problem is that the county can make superficial remarks at the top and bottom. It's all done beautifully, and you can't find anything through ordinary random inspections. There are endless tricks like substituting things, hiding things from the truth, and making things worse. If you can still have some tacit understanding and tacit understanding with the people in charge of the house, who will do it? Are you willing to lift these lids and offend others?"
“Does the governor mean that this matter can no longer be done?” Feng Ziying asked coldly.
"No, Ziying, you have already let out your words. This is just water thrown out. There is no way to take it back. But I think we can find some less drastic means, and slowly try to do it, and let those people There is some room for maneuver..."
“Sir, I’m afraid it’s too late.” Feng Ziying shook her head.
“It’s too late?” Zhu Zhiren was puzzled, “Ziying, what do you mean?”
Feng Ziying pondered for a moment and then said: "Master, if the information I got is correct, the Chahar people are very likely to invade the south this autumn..."
When Zhu Zhiren heard this, he almost slipped out of the chair and fell to the ground. His face suddenly turned pale and his lips trembled, "Ziying, what did you say? The Mongols are going to invade the south? Our Yongping Mansion? Where did this news come from? Come? Is it accurate?"
The Mongolian invasion dates back twenty years ago. Although the entire Yongping Prefecture has been under the shadow of the Mongolian invasion for the past twenty years, as time goes by, everyone's vigilance has gradually faded. After all, it has become It was tense day and night, and no one could bear it. I didn’t expect that the Mongols were coming again now.
"I said, if there are no mistakes, the Mongolian invasion is a high probability event. As for where to come from, it is impossible to determine. Maybe the Mongols did not go to Yongping but to Daning and Ningyuan in western Liaoning. It is also possible that they came from the west. Invading Shuntianxuanfu, I personally feel that our Yongpingfu is in greater danger."
Feng Ziying's words made Zhu Zhiren almost collapse in his chair. Feng Ziying didn't say where the news came from, but he knew very well that the news could only come from Jizhen.
"What should I do?" Zhu Zhiren didn't expect that he had been in Yongping Mansion for five years. If he was lucky, he could change his position after working for one year. He thought that Feng Ziying's arrival would be his opportunity, but he didn't expect that when Feng Ziying came, it would be his chance. Such sad news.
“Sir, this is just my personal judgment. Even if the Mongols invade south, we in Yongping will not just sit back and wait for death.” Feng Ziying did not expect Zhu Zhiren to be so afraid of this.
It's no wonder that he was born as a scholar and had never experienced anything like this. The catastrophe of Yongping Mansion twenty years ago still left a deep shadow in the minds of the officials and people of Yongping Mansion. Zhu Zhiren had naturally heard about it, so he was so afraid. It's also reasonable.
“Ziying, you don’t know the Mongols…”
"Sir, when I was five years old, I followed my father in fighting with the Tumuts in Datong. We fought and made peace, and made peace and fought again. I didn't arrive in the capital until I was twelve years old." Feng Ziying interrupted the other party without politeness, "In the sixth year of Yonglong's reign, I Mr. Chai and I went on an expedition to the west to quell the rebellion. I went alone to negotiate with Bu Shitu, the leader of the Tumut people, and finally convinced him not to support Liu Dongyang's rebellion..."
Zhu Zhiren then realized that the young colleague in front of him had a martial arts background and had been on the battlefield himself, so he felt a little more at ease.
