Su Naichen saw that Jiao Yun not only refused to listen to the advice, but also went against himself, and said angrily: "I am your superior officer, you disobey my orders, do you want to rebel?"
"I think it's not me who rebelled, it's you, County Magistrate Yanghewei, who disobeyed the boss's orders." Jiao Yun responded tit for tat, showing no sign of weakness.
If it weren't for the other party's fetters, he, as the county magistrate of Yanghewei, would have implemented a land-dividing policy for Yanghewei a long time ago. Now that the proprietors here have begun to reprimand the officials of Yanghewei for their poor performance, there is no need for him to give Su any more help. Nai Chen's face.
"Bold." Su Naichen was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up. Then he pointed his right index finger at Jiao Yun and said to Huo Zonghou, "Huo Shoubei, this county orders you to take down Jiao County Cheng immediately."
However, he did not get a response from Huo Zonghou.
"Huo Shoubei, what do you mean? Do you want to disobey the county's order?" Su Naichen asked Huo Zonghou, who was sitting in his seat, with an ugly face.
Officials in the Ming Dynasty have always used civility to control military affairs. As the magistrate of Yanghewei County, he believed that his status was higher than that of Huo Zonghou, the Yanghewei garrison.
Therefore, for Huo Zonghou's defense, he had always treated him as his subordinate, never as a colleague at the same level.
"It is not convenient for me to intervene in the affairs of the county government, but the division of land is an order from the Military and Political Department. I would like to remind County Magistrate Su that disobeying orders is always severely punished in the military." Huo Zonghou stood up and looked at Jiao Yun He said, "If Mr. Jiao County Cheng needs anything, just come to the garrison to find me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Rebellion, all rebellion!" Su Naichen angrily threw the tureen on the table to the ground.
Huo Zonghou's words before leaving made him understand that the garrison office chose to side with Jiao Yun, the county magistrate, and no longer listened to his orders as the county magistrate.
"It is you who have lost the hearts of the people. Don't blame others for their disloyalty." Jiao Yun left such a sentence and left Su Naichen.
Wow!
Su Naichen overturned the table next to him angrily, stared at Jiao Yun's back coldly and said, "I will tell the proprietor word for word what you did today. I want to see it." Who will be punished by the proprietor in the end?"
To this day, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
He insisted on not dividing the land and ensuring the interests of the majority of the gentry and large households in Yanghewei. He always believed that this was the foundation for maintaining the rule of the Tiger Flag in Yanghewei.
"Huo Shoubei, wait a minute!" Jiao Yun, who left the room, chased Huo Zonghou, who left the room first.
Huo Zonghou looked back and saw Jiao Yun chasing him out, and slowed down his pace.
When others came closer, he said: "Why is Jiao County Cheng coming out too?"
"I'm too lazy to look at Su Naichen's face." Jiao Yun said with disgust.
Huo Zonghou laughed and said: "County Magistrate Su also wants to better govern Yanghewei for the Tiger Character Banner. Even if he does not support the division of land, he still has a public heart, but his ideas are contrary to the Military and Political Department."
"If he hadn't been selfish, I wouldn't have been able to delay the land allocation for him. But now that other places have started to carry out land allocation in full swing, and it's very popular among the people, he still thinks it's right in his own way. I don't want to open my eyes and look around at all." Jiao Yun said angrily.
The two people walked out together.
Huo Zonghou said as he walked: "It will not do Yanghewei any good if such a person continues to stay in Yanghewei as the county magistrate. In my opinion, it is better for us to jointly explain the situation to the proprietor and request a replacement of the county magistrate."
"That's it." Jiao Yun nodded in agreement.
For them, the appointment of such a county magistrate is very detrimental to the implementation of the Huzi Banner's land distribution policy for various parts of Datong, and the longer the delay, the more serious the situation in Yanghewei will be.
"Huo Shoubei, Jiao County Cheng, I have met you two."
As soon as the two people came out of the county government office, they saw a person coming out of a sedan at the entrance of the government office and greeted them.
"The Master of the Qian family is very free. He goes to the Yamen every two days these days. Even I, the county magistrate, may not be able to stay in the Yamen as long as the Master of the Qian family." Jiao Yun said sarcastically.
The Qian Wanjun in front of him is a local squire in Yanghewei. His family occupies a room and lies on the ground. He is one of the richest families in Yanghewei.
Qian Wanjun said with a smile: "I heard that Yang and Wei are also going to divide their fields. Although the Qian family does not have much production, they are also willing to come up with some policies to support the tiger-character flag. No, we are about to go to this matter. The Yamen will discuss this with County Magistrate Su."
"If your Qian family has a meager income, I'm afraid there won't be many families in Yanghewei who dare to say they are rich." Jiao Yun sneered, and then said, "The county magistrate is in the Yamen, go and see it yourself!"
He didn't bother to talk nonsense about a big business owner like Qian Wanjun, and he didn't think that the other party came to the county government office really to support the Tiger-Character Banner's policy of allocating farmland.
However, he didn't care what the Qian family would do.
There are clear records of each household's land in the Yellow Book. Once the land is divided, the Huang family's share cannot be lost.
"Then I won't disturb County Magistrate Jiao and Huo Shoubei. I'll go in and meet Magistrate Su first." Qian Wanjun smiled and greeted the two of them and walked towards the Yamen.
At this moment, another carriage came from the street on the left side of the yamen gate and stopped at the yamen gate.
"People from the Qi family are here too." Jiao Yun glanced at the carriage that had just stopped.
He did not stay where he was and wait for the people in the Qi family's carriage to get off. Instead, he and Huo Shoubei got on their horses and rode away from the Yamen gate.
The head of the Qi family got off the carriage, glanced at Jiao Yun and Huo Shoubei as they left, and walked straight towards the Yamen.
Later, intermittently, four or five heads of wealthy families in Yanghewei rushed to the Yanghewei County Government Office.
They were all well-known figures from Yang Hewei. The servants in front of the yamen gate did not dare to offend anyone at all and carefully welcomed them into the yamen.
Qian Wanjun was the first to be brought into the room where Su Naichen was entertaining guests.
"The county magistrate is so angry that he even smashed the table." As soon as Qian Wanjun came in, he saw the overturned table in the room and the teacup broken into several pieces.
Su Naichen said with an ugly face: "It's nothing serious, I just encountered something on official business."
"Since I came to Yanghewei, Mr. Suxian has devoted himself to serving the people and put all his energy into government affairs. Even me, a commoner in Yanghewei, feels sad when he sees it." Qian Wanjun said with emotion.
"Go out and ask the servants to come and tidy up the room." Su Naichen told the yamen servant who brought Qian Wanjun over, and then said to Qian Wanjun, "Master Qian came to my place today. What do you want to do?"
Qian Wanjun is the head of the Qian family in Yanghewei, and the Qian family has many shops in Yanghewei, including several pawn shops and grain stores.
"I heard that Mr. Su County has been having a headache recently because of some things, so I came here to share the worries of Mr. Su, just like several other family heads." Qian Wanjun said with a smile.
