'What's going on!
What big thing could happen, no matter how big, could it be more serious than the port being blocked?
It's true that this old man He Baozheng, after so many years, his hair has become much whiter, but he still looks like he is useless, and he is still so panicked when something happens!
He Baozheng used to drive an ox cart here, but this time it was different. He went directly to Xinghua and hired a carriage and a fast horse to pull him to Qingyuan.
It looks like it will cost a lot of money, which is not like the old man's style!
'Do you want to go see Chunsheng first?
In the past few days, Chunsheng heard that the port was going to be closed to the sea. It was just after the opening of the sea that many businesses started. The ban on the sea would have a huge impact on the Wanda Chamber of Commerce!
He Baozheng was so anxious that the corners of his mouth blistered!
Liang Chuan also wanted the old man to rest for a while, but He Baozheng didn't want to stay for a moment and explained the matter quickly!
'What did you say?
There were not many people in the office. In order to do Tong Yugang's work, everyone was almost exhausted for the past few days. Finally, we had a chance to breathe, but another trouble came!
The Zhijun surnamed Zheng went crazy. He started a mess in Xinghua and asked everyone to cut down all the sugar cane fields and replant crops. He even asked everyone to do corvee labor! I haven’t done this for many years. If I continue to do corvee labor, all the crops in the field will die!
Liang Chuan's eyes widened angrily.
In Xinghua, he didn't take Rui Jin seriously, but he didn't expect this kid to point the finger at himself!
In some years, no one dared to confront him so blatantly.
Think about it, the last person to be so arrogant was Zhao Zonge! The grass on this kid's grave has grown taller, and now there are still some who don't have eyesight!
'Why should the sugarcane fields be cut down?
He Baozheng himself was very angry. He originally wanted Liang Xiaocheng to inform Liang Chuan about the incident, but someone at home had to watch. Now that people from the Xinghua County government office came to Fengshan to make trouble, someone had to watch at home. He Baozheng Not daring to let Xiaocheng go away, he came to Qingyuan.
'We don't know either. Rui speaks very eloquently, and there are a large group of officials in public uniforms around him. We can only delay it as long as possible and come to you specifically to make up your mind!
Liang Chuan was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl into pieces, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "When the boat is sailing, there is a strong wind, the house is leaking, and it rains all night, everything comes together!"
Even in the northwest, Su Wei and others had never seen Liang Chuan so angry, and no one in the group took the Xinghua Zhijun seriously, but they were afraid that Liang Chuan would get angry.
He's just a petty official in the country. He's a frog in a well and doesn't know how high the sky is. Why do he do such stupid things to find his own sense of existence? Why bother with him!
Even if you can defeat such a person, that's not a skill. But being able to defeat a person like Yu Gang is a skill!
Everyone was still trying to persuade Liang Chuan, but he stopped him and said, "You don't have to persuade me. Give Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang back to my eldest and second brothers. Call them back and go back to Xinghua together. I want to take a look. I won't cooperate with them today." What can they do to me if I do anything wrong?
'Sanlang must not be impulsive, as long as there is room for negotiation. .
Su Weiyue has become more and more cautious. A few years ago, he would have asked Liang Chuan to go straight to the toilet, and there would be someone to wipe his ass behind.
But over the years, he had seen too many things happen to Liang Chuan, all of which were due to Liang Chuan loving himself as a forward so much that he took all the risks away!
It’s not like there is no one available. There are so many people in the Liang family army now. Just ask a few to deal with the Niao Zhi army. There is no need to mobilize troops like this!
"No one can stop me. I must accept these dog officials. If Xinghua lets them be in charge for a few more years, I don't know how many more people will suffer!"
Liang Chuan's tone was filled with displeasure. When it came to talking about any issues between him and Rui Jin, the fat guy, he didn't have any issues. However, the two of them were like natural enemies. They disliked each other as soon as they met. If they didn't accept it, they would do it. It just depends on who is afraid of the other!
Penghu Island
The four kings on board received Liang Chuan's instructions and took a sea ship overnight to rush to Qingyuan. They have been left aside for a while these years!
Su Wei wanted to ask people from the Tianxiong Army to help, but Liang Chuan refused.
The Tianxiong Army is no better than the Chengguan Brigade. It would be okay if the Chengguan Brigade goes there, but the matter has not yet reached a point where it will never end. You can't just play your cards right away and beat your own king out. Then How to play the next cards!
If the imperial court knew that it had an army, it would not be Rui Jin who was at odds with him, but the officials of the Song Dynasty who would be at odds with him! .
Sun Shubo is very skilled, Qin Jing is not much different, plus Liang Shiguang and Yuchi Tian, Xinghua itself has Li Chuyi, with such a fighting lineup, I am afraid no one can beat it.
It was the first time that all four people were called up at once.
The four of them have been living on the island for a long time, and they have long been holding back their strength and want to go to the shore to vent. They also knew that something big must have happened to Liang Chuan!
After the group was assembled, they rushed to Xinghua again.
In fact, this kind of thing can be solved by Sun Houpu alone.
However, Sun Houpu was selling Xia Song's face when he went out. Rui Jin was not Xia Song's person, so he might not be willing to sell it like this.
According to Liang Chuan's understanding of Rui Jin, this boy probably wanted to flatter Qingliu, so he wanted to get Cai Xiang's tea!
If the estimate is correct, then Sun Houpu's intervention may have a counterproductive effect.
Now Xia Song himself doesn't like to be in the limelight, and Liang Chuan naturally doesn't like to use his face to show off and deceive others. It would be bad to cause trouble to others!
If you rely on the intimidation of others to walk around the world, there will always be a day when it fails. Unless you are wearing spiked armor, others will never take you seriously!
Xinghua.
Zheng Tu was very excited. A few days ago, Rui Jin had a pig's trotter kicked in the head and asked him to find a way to deal with Liang Chuan. He dared to come up with such a bad idea, so he simply asked him to conquer the country and let him take charge. The emperor has it. Do you really think that he is a heavenly soldier and a general who can do anything?
Within a few days, things took a turn for the better!
The damn official sent the letter to Quanzhou Prefecture, and Weiyuan Tower assigned the court's order to their Xinghua Army.
Logically speaking, the rules are understandable, but this time the court got into trouble, and what kind of thing did it do!
They talked about favoring farmers and mulberry trees and equalizing public land, but they came up with such a shameless trick. They were more ruthless than him, a pig butcher, and truly slaughtered the people like stupid pigs.
Nowadays, the land in Xinghua can only focus on grain, and all other crops must be plowed out. To grow grain, it is okay to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms in addition to grain, but you cannot grow other crops!
The south bank of Xinghua Nanxi River is not bad. It is basically paddy fields, and a small part is planted with sugar cane. Look at the north bank of Nanxi River. There are endless sugarcane fields as far as the eye can see. According to Mr. Rui's interpretation, these sugarcane fields are blatant defiance. The imperial court ordered and refused to implement the national policy of supporting farmers and mulberry!
If it's a minor case, they can be punished immediately and replanted; if it's a serious case, the person can be arrested and sent to jail directly!
And that corvee!
Not many people are doing this stuff anymore. Unlike the north, the south often has war preparation tasks and requires Dali's manpower to complete the fortifications, so everyone has to pay their dues.
Nowadays in the South, people pay directly for food or money to buy out their working hours. The money and food are uniformly managed by the imperial government, and labor is re-recruited by the imperial court. In this way, the people can do whatever they want, and the government can make money. , workers have something to do, and the whole society is happy!
Mr. Rui got the order from the court and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night!
If the imperial court wants to reduce the corvee, it does not mean to eliminate the corvee. It must do nothing less now! Although the workload is much less than before, farmers must be there to do the hard work!
Today's corvee work mainly involves digging river channels!
This is terrible hard work. At the end of the day, people will be exhausted!
In order to show his love for the people, Rui Jin shortened the time, but put it in December, the slack season. It was the coldest time, and people stepped on the river mud.
Here, within a few days I would fall ill after returning home, and within three to five years, even going to the fields would become a problem!
It appears to be an act of love for the people, but in fact it contains evil intentions!
But whoever dares to disobey starts to recruit young men now. The more frail young scholars are, the more they are on Rui Jin's list. If they don't obey, they will be taken away by Zheng Tu and sent to prison. Dayton education!
Rui Jin is determined to implement the court's policy to the end!
Zheng Tu is Rui Jin’s vanguard!
The tidying up work started from the north bank of Xinghua. The garrison troops of the Xinghua Army were directly pulled out and guarded on the side, while the government officials were leading the way to carry out the execution. When they saw the sugar cane field, they burned it directly without any compensation!
If the common people want to cause trouble, they can be beaten on the spot. Now the Xinghua Prison is overcrowded. Several shackles have been made hastily and we are preparing to lock up another group of people!
Zheng Tu was happy. Now he has a reputation as a teacher. According to Rui Jin, they are doing things according to the rules. It is all the official's will. If you don't obey, you will resist the order. That is a serious crime that can be beheaded. Who wants to try it? You can come though! In the past, you had to weigh your doing bad things, but now you do it blatantly. It feels so good!
Rui Jin certainly knows why sugar cane is so popular in Xinghua, and also knows what these sugar canes mean to the people of Xinghua!
In Xinghua, this thing is only meaningful to one family, and that is the Liang family!
It is said that the Liang family will collect all the sugar cane, process it into sugar, and sell it to other places. Relying on this craft, the Liang family is now as rich as the country, richer than the salt merchants in Huaiyang!
Rui Jin's intention is very direct and crude. He just wants to use the court's policies to avenge his own personal revenge!
Not only do they want to cut off the Liang family's financial resources, they also want to destroy the Liang family!
He was not afraid of being held accountable by the court. The court simply gave him pillows to sleep with. He was just trying to rectify Liang Chuan when he gave this order. Now it's all right. Who will die if the Liang family doesn't die!
"Have the sugar cane fields on the south bank been pushed back? Speed up the progress for me. No matter whose land it is, it can only grow grains and mulberries. Any other illegal ones will be cleared by me!" Rui Jin said domineeringly!
