Chapter 917 Ji Zijuan's operation (First update, please vote for me!)
End without results.
Qi Yongtai didn't say much more about Feng Ziying's recklessness. He just sent a letter to Feng Ziying, asking him to act cautiously, but he didn't have to be conservative.
Feng Ziying understood the idea and wrote in his reply that he should be careful of tigers and smell the roses carefully. Qi Yongtai was amazed but also agreed.
In a letter to her father, Feng Ziying said to let the arrow fly for a while and see what happens.
After receiving letters from Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia respectively, Feng Ziying was determined. In fact, he never thought that this group of Lulong gentry could cause much trouble.
The reason is also very simple. You have to make up your own mind. The Qing army was originally responsible for the same knowledge. The long-term existence of military households and garrison hidden fields does not mean that this kind of thing is reasonable and legal. Maybe there are some such and such in the local government. question, but that doesn’t mean it can be a fait accompli.
Coupled with the bad impression of Yongping Mansion in the court, even many civil servants from northern scholars in the court were very dissatisfied. They were asking Jiangnan and Huguang to send more military supplies, food, and salaries to the border areas. Look at the Northland itself. His performance, right under the nose of the capital, was so embarrassing that he was so embarrassed.
The first thing you need to do to clean up military households is the military craftsmen. Even the military in Jizhen has taken the initiative to cooperate. How can your local gentry be above the court's regulations?
Do you really regard Yongping Mansion as an independent kingdom for a group of guys who sit behind closed doors and watch the sky?
Once the virtuous cycle of co-prosperity between officials and gentry is broken, it will never be local officials who suffer the consequences, and the consequences will eventually come back to bite the gentry. Everyone knows this, but the gentry in Yongping Prefecture are constrained by their immediate interests and deliberately Indifference is nothing more than covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
Now it is your turn to teach them a lesson and let them understand the principle of national law.
Of course, this will take some time, don’t rush, just take your time.
“Song San, have the records of military households been cleared out?” Feng Ziying sipped her tea leisurely and looked at the military officer with a gloomy and uneasy face.
"Is it really that difficult? Your magistrate said that it is not that difficult in fact. The focus of these wealthy families is not on military households, right? I have already taken away the chess pieces for you to clean up the hidden fields of the garrison. Get up and help you relieve the pressure. Why, if you are still restless, why don't you resign? I believe there will be someone who will be happy to serve the imperial court."
Hearing Feng Ziying mention the officials under his command, Song San also trembled in his heart.
I have been sitting in the position of clerk for more than ten years, which makes the two clerks under me breathless. The relationship between the two parties is also very delicate.
Neither of these two people are ordinary people. When they finally waited for this opportunity, they stared at it with wide eyes. If they themselves did not meet the discernment of Xiao Feng Tongzhi and showed the intention of replacing him, these two people would pounce on him. Come up.
Song San also knew that what Xiao Feng Tongzhi said was right. After the news that the camp guard Hidden Field was to be cleaned up came out, the pressure that was originally on him suddenly eased.
The gentry and the big households went to Lu Lingzi in the house, and that was the key.
For these big families, the hermit households are only two to three thousand households, and what they are escaping from is not labor. And the big gentry families just come out to deal with the county to let these hermit households attached to their names. Households just share the farmland for farming.
"My lord, everything has been cleared up and the military households involved have been notified one by one..." Song San said with difficulty.
“Oh? Have you come to register for reporting?” Feng Ziying asked calmly.
“It has reached more than 70%, but they are all old, weak, sick and disabled,..." Song San sighed, "More than 10% has not yet arrived,..."
"Does the military department know the whereabouts of these people?" Feng Ziying didn't believe that Song San dared to fool herself on this issue. This was the responsibility of the military department. If he didn't grasp the situation, then he, as a clerk, would be in trouble.
"About 20% of them fled to Daning and Ningyuan outside the customs, and there are still a few in remote mountainous areas..." Song San's heart was pounding, and he knew that his words might cause unpredictable risks.
"Oh? I have written a letter to Daning and Ningyuan, asking the local guards to order these military households to return. If the women and children are inconvenienced, Ding must return, and you must do an inventory and verification." Feng Ziying said calmly: "Then the rest There are probably dozens of households left, right? The county's third-class government officials and the people in our mansion are almost starving to death, right? Isn't this their chance?"
“Sir, in view of my humble duty, I can inform you again...”
“There’s no need, give me the list and I’ll take a look,…”
Taking the list, Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, held a red pen in her hand, and gently clicked on the first name of the three households.
It’s interesting to note that Liao Fude was a gentry in Beizhuang, Lulong. He was born as a scholar, but his nephew was a civil servant. Now he is an official in Zhangde Mansion. Not only does he own nearly 3,000 acres of good land in Beizhuang, but he also has as many registered households under his name. There are more than 60 households, and there are also several tenant serfs, ranking seventh or eighth among the Lulong gentry group.
A perfect target, Feng Ziying secretly thought in her mind. Wu Yaoqing had already investigated this person's situation in advance. His nephew was actually an oil bottle brought by his widowed sister-in-law. As a result, his brother also passed away a few years after they got married, and his nephew had no relationship with him. It is said that his nephew has not returned to his hometown for six years.
"Okay, Song San, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore. This is still a matter for the execution room and the third class of government officials." Feng Ziying smiled, waved her hand, "You go ahead."

It was still bright when Zhu Zhiren got the news. When he learned that the servants were coming to report the news, he almost rolled off the bed in a hurry. It was the concubine beside him who held him up, which prevented the master from rolling off the bed. .
Angrily, he shouted to his concubine to get some clothes. Zhu Zhiren paced back and forth in the room, "This Feng Ziying is so audacious. Is this trying to stir up a hornet's nest? It's just a hidden military household. What a big deal?" "
Seeing that the master was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, the concubine had even put on her clothes. She only had a bellyband and came to dress the master together with the maid. If you were to look at the sight of this concubine Xina's lustrous flesh, you would definitely be very upset. After some training, I finally gave up after being satisfied with my handjob. But today, I had no interest in it at all. I just had to hurry up and get dressed and comb my hair.
As soon as Zhu Zhiren stepped out, his entourage had already come to greet him, "I heard that Lord Tongzhi went to the Military Preparation Road, and the Supervisor asked the Military Preparation Road to borrow two hundred troops from Ji Town, and ordered all the government officials in the government to raid Beizhuang. Liao Thirty-two members of the family were taken into custody..."
"Crazy, is Feng Ziying crazy? Take the whole family?" Zhu Zhiren's feet went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, with a frightened and pale face, "Is he treating a hidden military household as a case of rebellion?" ?”
The Chang Sui was also full of fear, "None of the three squadrons of government officials in the government office received any news. They just asked everyone to prepare all kinds of documents and shackles at noon, and waited until the evening at midnight to set off. They didn't know where they were going, so they just I followed and found out that there were border troops cooperating..."
The presence of the Yongping Military Preparation Road in Yongping Prefecture is very low, because there are border troops from Ji Town to the north and west of Yongping Prefecture. In addition, after the three guards were abolished twenty years ago, there are few garrison troops in Yongping Prefecture except the border troops. Recently disappeared, this Bingbei Road is more like an empty shell yamen. Bingbei Road is named after a minister from Shandong. That guy also works part-time at Dezhou Bingbei Road, so he rarely comes here. I don’t know Feng Ziying But how did he get involved with that side?
The frontier troops cannot enter the areas not under the jurisdiction of the Zhenjun before they have obtained the military preparations. This is an iron rule. However, with the military preparations, the legal procedures are in place. Zhu Zhiren knows the secrets here. Feng Ziying has planned this for a long time. , I am afraid that these gentry will have to be attacked a long time ago.
It's just that this kind of hiding military households, even if it's the occupation of farmland, is not a big case, it is just a fine of silver and a cane, and the laws of the Zhou Dynasty have been weakened a lot on the basis of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, especially for the gentry. The preferential treatment is even worse.
The crimes such as occupying hidden fields and soils have a light regulation on the gentry. Unless there are other special circumstances, it is mainly based on the penalty of penalties and deprivation of scholars.
Feng Ziying suddenly brought his whole family back in chains. This was simply treated as a major case of rebellion. Didn't this guy learn the laws of Da Zhou before coming here?
Those who hold official positions such as the Ministry of Justice, Tongzhi, and Promotion Officers are required to learn the laws of Dazhou before taking up their posts. Feng Ziying, who is known as a political expert, does not understand this?
After putting on his clothes and rushing out of the backyard, Zhu Zhiren was about to go straight to Tongzhi Gong's house, but saw that Feng Ziying had already rushed there.
He almost gritted his teeth and scolded the other party angrily, but Zhu Zhiren still managed to say one sentence: "Ziying, you are confused, how could you do this?"
"Don't worry, sir. If you are not completely sure, how can a subordinate dare to be so presumptuous?" Feng Ziying quickly said a word of relief, and Zhu Zhiren looked at him suspiciously: "Seriously?"
"How dare you speak nonsense in front of the Lord? Your official is here to report." Feng Ziying smiled.
Zhu Zhiren was a little relieved. It seemed that the other party had achieved something, but he didn't know where it came from.
"Okay, go to my place first." Zhu Zhiren decided in his heart, and returned to his usual calm and composed appearance. He took one step at a time and said, "Ziying, you should say hello to me first. Xing Wenbing is ready to say hello. Borrowing border troops, even though your Majesty is the governor of Ji Liao, but borrowing troops from the border is extremely risky."
Borrowing troops from the frontier, unless it involves several major cases, is a violation of the law, and both the local government and the army must bear responsibility.
