Chapter 1: The Imperial Censor
In June, Zhu Youxuan ordered Denglai guerrillas Zhao Yan to attack the Denglai bandits, and sent the new Denglai Censor Qian Zhiyi to the army supervisor. Zhao Yan was stunned, so why did he get a military supervisor in just two moves?
However, the profits of destroying those local tyrants were obviously generous. They earned more than 400,000 taels in more than a month, and the rewards were deducted. This is almost supported by this year's settlement point.
In the Ming Dynasty, the military supervisor was usually served as eunuchs or censors. When Chongzhen released a military supervisor, Zhao Yan was shocked and hurriedly called Zhang Buyun and Liu Heng to discuss the matter.
"The emperor sent a military supervisor. Do you think you should deal with it?" Zhao Yan asked the two of them.
"Lord, don't worry too much. Nowadays, all officials of the court are all bought with money. This military supervisor is no exception. He just needs to stuff some money to make him shut up." Liu Heng said calmly.
Zhang Buyun laughed sinisterly, lowered his voice and said, "The lord is self-sufficiency, and he does not need to rely on the imperial court to allocate. If the military supervisor does not buy it, he can be surprised. As long as the lord has troops in his hands, if the emperor blames him, he will be demoted at most, and it will be completely irrelevant to the lord."
"Yeah!" Zhao Yan nodded. This is the benefit of warlords! It is still a warlord who is unrestricted in logistics supply, and he can completely ignore Chongzhen's existence.
...
On June 17th, the Censor Qian Zhiyi of Denglai finally arrived.
Qian Zhiyi is in his forties. He is a Jinshi in the first year of Tianqi. He has always been a censor in the court. Qian Zhiyi's family is not as poor as those censors from business origins, and he lives a poorer life in his life.
Some big men in the court came to him when they attacked each other. Qian Zhiyi had never had much courage. She was the type who dared not speak much among censors, and she had no income.
This time, we came to Denglai to supervise the army, but Denglai guerrillas stationed in Denglai. This time, Denglai was deserted, and the court had never paid much money.
Then how could there be any money to take out filial piety for the Denglai guerrilla guerrillas?
Zhu Youjian originally wanted to send eunuchs to supervise the army, but when the eunuchs heard that they were going to Denglai, they all blamed each other. Then they asked the censor to supervise the army.
Some of those censors were moved, but they were all poor officials like Qian Zhiyi. Qian Zhiyi was complained by her insiders when she went home, and she felt angry and directly borrowed two thousand taels of capital debt.
Beijing debt is a thing that can eat people and not spit out bones. Those loan sharks are all powerful people. Those who want to rely on their debts will generally pay the price. Maybe the Jinyiwei will come to you the next day.
You can imagine how determined Qian Zhiyi's intention to get rich was. He handed over the money and became the Censor of Denglai. Qian Zhiyi was thinking about how to give the Denglai guerrilla a warning after taking office. Then Denglai guerrilla was so scared that he gave him ten thousand taels of gold...
Along the way, I rushed to the horses. When I entered Laizhou, I immediately saw a depression. There were less than one acre of grain planted in the fields on both sides of the official road.
My heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Denglai was indeed depressed. In such a depressed environment, military generals usually don't have much money.
However, when we entered the second place of Denglai, there were indeed fewer bandits.
Although Qian Zhiyi was full of YY, she still paid more attention to collecting intelligence. She asked some people on the way, and all of them said that it was the guerrilla general who wiped out the bandits, and she revealed a little more or less a hint of gratitude while speaking.
Qian Zhiyi naturally knew that Denglai guerrillas were in charge of bandits in the second place of Denglai, and they all reported to the court. However, Qian Zhiyi thought it was probably a killing good deeds, but she didn't expect that this was really a matter.
"A few months ago, General Jun suppressed bandits in Denglai, there were very few bandits in Denglai. We can also farm with peace of mind, and we don't have to worry about being tied up by bandits." An old man said excitedly: "General Jun is a great man! Not only did he wipe out the bandits in Denglai. If we people can't survive, we can also go to him. General Jun will plow oxen and seeds for us."
"Hey~! Didn't that give it to the government? When did it become a guerrilla in Denglai?" Qian Zhiyi asked in surprise.
"Those officials and masters would not pay for money! They didn't even think they were promoted or made money. They were all paid by the general." The old man showed a hint of sneer on his face.
"So, this Denglai guerrilla has a lot of family resources?" Qian Zhiyi asked with shiny eyes, and suddenly realized that Wu Anbang was planning the Zhao family's wealth, so he was cut off by the Zhao family.
It is so bold that the general dares to challenge him. What if he cut him down?
When Qian Zhiyi thought of this, he immediately shook his head and waved his thoughts. He was the military supervisor appointed by the emperor. No matter how brave the Zhao family is, he would not dare to do anything to him!
"This old man doesn't know, but the general is spreading a porridge shed in Denglai Second Place. Last winter, many people survived on those porridge sheds!"
...
Qian Zhiyi entered Dengzhou and was about to arrive in Huang County. However, she saw a different scene from what she had seen before. Many refugees were building houses on the plains, and they kept seeing people like in charge of the business during the period, looking like they were in trouble.
After asking, I realized that this was the place where the guerrillas arranged for refugees to settle down.
I originally thought that the censor came, and the Denglai guerrillas would definitely dispatch a large number of troops to welcome him.
As a result, when we arrived in Huang County, only the magistrate Tang Xianming and a few yamen runners were there to greet him, and we didn't even see the others.
It's outrageous!
It's really outrageous!
Qian Zhiyi was so angry that she blew her beard and stared at her, and wanted to get angry and had nowhere to scatter.
"Certificate knows the way to Zhaojiabao? Do you need an official to send someone to lead the way?" Tang Xianming was also lukewarm and did not even mean to lead the way himself.
At this time, Tang Xianming was firmly standing beside Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan was engaged in the settlement of Huang County and promised him that he would not have less land tax, but he would not have given additional land taxes, and everything would be handled according to the court system.
It is conceivable that when Huang County resumes production next year, there will be more taxes and silver that can be collected. After the Kong Youde Rebellion, Dengzhou directly changed from the central government to the underworld. He was sent to Huang County to be the magistrate, which was a bad luck for eight lifetimes. Unexpectedly, it would be in operation at this time.
Therefore, Tang Xianming cooperated with the settlement matter very well. The unowned land in Huang County directly gave Zhao Yan a new land deed and stamped it with an official seal. Zhao Yan also got him 10,000 acres of land, and all the agricultural supplies for the settlement were produced by Zhao Yan. The income from this 10,000 acres of land belonged to Tang Xianming.
After Tang Xianming and Zhao Yan came into contact with each other, they found that this martial artist was easy to get along with. As long as they cooperate, money was indispensable. When they had silver next year, they could attack the prefect.
Seeing that Zhao Yan did not send anyone to welcome the Censor Denglai, his attitude became lukewarm. Anyway, this guy was a military supervisor, and he did not issue heavy taxes, so he could not deal with him.
