Qi Feng, the head of the Qi family, left the garrison mansion disappointed.
However, he also got some useful information, and he clearly understood that no one could stop the Tiger Character Banner's determination to divide the fields. As for Su Naichen's idea of persuading Liu Heng to stop dividing the fields, he was no longer optimistic.
"This member of the Qi family, as well as the Qian family, the Wang family, and the Shi family, have always resisted the land distribution policy. Unexpectedly, they suddenly changed their attitude and sent the head of the Qi family to the garrison to express their support for the land distribution." Jiao Yun said.
The sudden change of attitude of the head of the Qi family was really beyond his expectation.
Huo Zonghou agreed and said: "Like you, I was surprised by the purpose of the Qi family's visit. It seems that our County Magistrate Su was also deceived by the Yanghewei family."
"These wealthy country gentry are the best at assessing the situation. Once they see that something cannot be done, they will naturally know how to choose. In fact, I hope they can fight to the end, so that they will have a reason to confiscate their family property." Yang Yuan said lightly.
A truly wealthy squire family must be run by at least several generations, or have a reputation as a civil servant or higher. Such families are by no means comparable to fools like Lingqiu Wang Shuochen.
Jiao Yun said: "Whether they are sincere or fake, as long as the land is divided, it doesn't matter whether they are sincere or not."
"That's right. Only when the people at the bottom have benefited will they support us. Otherwise, no matter how good our Tiger Flag is, it will only benefit these wealthy gentry families instead of gaining the true support of the people." Yang Yuan looked at the people in front of him. two people said.
Jiao Yun nodded and said immediately: "I will notify the farmers' associations in each village and town to divide the fields immediately."
"Go for it, I can't stay in Yanghewei for long." Yang Yuan said.
Jiao Yun stood up.
However, just as he was about to leave, a Tiger Flag soldier from the garrison came in from outside.
"General, County Magistrate Su has come to see Director Yang." Zhan Bing stood at the door and said.
Huo Zonghou looked at Yang Yuan who was sitting on the main seat.
"Bring him in!" Yang Yuan said.
Huo Zonghou nodded towards the soldiers in front of the door.
Not long after, Su Naichen was brought into the room.
"I have met Director Yang." Su Naichen saluted Yang Yuan as soon as he entered the room.
Yang Yuan raised his eyelids, looked at Su Naichen and said, "County Magistrate Su is not at the Yamen to handle official business. Why do you come to the garrison to see me?"
His first stop when he came to Yanghewei was the Yanghewei County Government Office, and he met Su Naichen, so Su Naichen knew about Yang Yuan's visit to Yanghewei and also knew that Yang Yuan had gone to the garrison mansion.
"I have something important to tell you, Director Yang." Su Naichen straightened up and looked directly at Yang Yuan and said.
Yang Yuan picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip of tea, and said: "I am just the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. I will not interfere in the official affairs of your yamen. If it is an official matter, County Magistrate Su can send an official document to Datong Town , Mr. Zhao will handle it himself."
"Mr. Zhao's subordinates will go and talk. The subordinates also hope that Director Yang can stand up and work with the officials to persuade Dongzhu Liu to stop dividing the land and protect the rights of the big squire families. Only in this way can the Tiger-Character Banner be obtained in Datong. The people's support is supported by the people. If it offends those wealthy gentry families, it will only push everyone to the side of the court. Once the court joins forces with these wealthy gentry families, the Tiger Character Flag will inevitably not fall into danger." Su Naichen. Regardless of whether Yang Yuan liked it or not, he said it out loud and wanted Yang Yuan to stand with him and persuade Huzi Banner to stop the land distribution policy.
Yang Yuan frowned slightly and said: "The land allocation policy is a decision made by the Military and Political Department. I am just the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. I am not qualified to deny the decision of the Military and Political Department. County Magistrate Su has found the wrong person when he comes to me. He should go Find Mr. Zhao and Deputy Director Li."
Su Naichen's words just now disappointed him.
"The Tiger-Character Banner's land division is breaking its own foundation. Director Yang, as a close minister of the proprietor, you should stand up and oppose it, instead of allowing this mistake to continue until the Tiger-Character Banner falls into the abyss." Su Nai Chen's tone was slightly excited.
He has always believed that if the Tiger Character Banner wants to win the hearts and minds of the people in Datong, it must not offend the local wealthy gentry in Datong. Not only that, but it must also find ways to gain the support of these wealthy gentry.
"Okay, needless to say, if you object to the land division, you can write a letter, but I won't interfere. If there is nothing to do, just go back. The Tiger Character Banner has just occupied Datong, and there must be a lot of official business in the Yamen that needs to be handled." Yang Yuan issued an eviction order and was unwilling to argue with Su Naichen over the land allocation.
Even if Su Naichen hadn't been a member of Tiger Character Banner, he would have sent his men to secretly eliminate the opponent.
"Director Yang, as a high-ranking official of Tiger Character Banner, you should stand up and correct the mistakes of the proprietor instead of allowing the proprietor to mess around. Even the emperor of the Zhu family in the capital must have restrictions and should not do whatever he wants." Su Naichen was not willing to give up.
Dividing farmland is the first decision made by the Tiger Character Banner to govern Datong. As a county magistrate of Yanghewei, it would be difficult for him to stop such a decision. If an important figure within the Tiger Character Banner like Yang Yuan steps forward, He believes that wrong decisions such as dividing land may not be irreversible.
Snapped!
Yang Yuan slapped his palm heavily on the table.
With a cold voice, he said: "Su Naichen, are you blaming the proprietor? Or do you think the proprietor should appoint you as the chief assistant of the Tiger Flag and form a cabinet for you to govern the Tiger Flag? Everything about the flag?”
"Xiaguan naturally does not have the qualifications to be the chief assistant of the Tiger-Character Banner. However, Xiaguan feels that the Tiger-Character Banner should indeed have more civil servants and form an organization like the cabinet, instead of always issuing orders in the name of the Military and Political Department." Su Naichen looked at Yang Yuan and said.
What he said on his lips was what he really thought in his heart.
If he were an ordinary rebel force, he would naturally not say this, but the Tiger Flag is different. Even if there is no Datong, there are still Tumut grasslands governed by the Tiger Flag.
Now that the Tiger Character Banner had successfully captured Datong Town, defeated several imperial armies, and was at its peak of power, at this time he felt that officials like him under the Tiger Character Banner should put forward their own ideas, otherwise all the limelight would be lost to the Tiger Character Banner. The flag is occupied by generals, and it will be difficult for civil servants like them to take the lead in the future.
"Okay, go back!" Yang Yuan drove people away again, not wanting to talk nonsense with Su Naichen anymore.
Huo Zonghou stood up and walked to Su Naichen and persuaded him: "Sir Su County, I think you should go back first. Director Yang is already tired from the long journey. If you have anything else to do, wait until Director Yang has a rest."
"Xiaguan hopes that Director Yang can understand Xiaguan's painstaking efforts and return to Datong Town as soon as possible to persuade the proprietor to stop making such a wrong decision of dividing the land." Su Naichen said to Yang Yuan.
Huo Zonghou saw that Yang Yuan was already unhappy, and he tried to persuade Su Naichen to leave.
