Three hundred and twentieth chapters worship
"What do you want tomorrow?"
"Zhang Zhizhou, return the arable land of the houses and residences belonging to the people of Jiangzhou."
"Do you want to walk with the mob, too?"
"Zhang Zhizhou, they are not mobs, and many of them did not enter the city to resist the officers and soldiers. Even if they resisted the officers and soldiers, more than 10,000 households were killed, which was enough to calm the resentment of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, they have now become the people of the Song Dynasty."
"Let me do this, I will allocate some money, silk and grain to your bookstore."
"No, it's just that Jiangnan Chinese Studies has collapsed, and its spirit will last forever."
"Do you really think so?" Zhang Ji said angrily. At this time, he felt a little regretful. He knew the situation of Jiangnan National Studies. If he poured it out, it was the academy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, nor the academy of the imperial court. But in the past two days, under the intrigue of scholars from Jiangnan National Studies, some people in Jiangzhou gathered together to ask for farmland in houses. They were not afraid, but they would be different from support from tomorrow. He was familiar with some laws of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty was followed, the government would not have the right to allocate these farmlands.
Whether it is a residence or a house, it is private property. When a family dies, descendants inherit, descendants are not there, and relatives inherit. This is clearly stipulated in the Song Dynasty. There are only two situations. One is the official house, the house built by the court for officials, and the ownership of the officials after the resignation belongs to the court, but it belongs to the court, not to be allocated to the private person unless rewarded by the imperial edict. The other is the property of the house that was fined and confiscated, and its ownership is still the court.
The situation in Jiangzhou is an exception, but relatives from the original house come to ask for it, according to the Song Dynasty, they must be returned to them.
And land.
Jiangzhou is an exception, but it also happened in the Song Dynasty. When disasters occur, the victims left their hometowns to flee famine, but the powerful people did not leave their homes. In order to prevent these people from occupying abandoned fields, there are many imperial edicts and regulations. Generally, those who abandoned fields for three to five years without anyone to cultivate them can belong to those who cultivated abandoned fields. Within this time range, the original owner will come back to claim it and must return it to the original owner to avoid disputes or unscrupulous mergers and various injustice.
The other is the land that is deserted. When the family dies, these arable land belong to the land that is deserted. There are many land that is deserted in several counties in Jiangzhou. The regulations on these land that are ineffective are somewhat vague and can be collected as official land. If relatives inherit it, they can also be handed over to relatives. But if they inherit it, they have to pay two taxes. This is used to increase taxes.
Of course, the rules and laws are like this. There are many disadvantages in reality, and many powerful people even use some illegal means to occupy more arable land.
If there is no wise person, Jiangzhou will be safe and sound. Whether the people or the officials and soldiers are sent, the interests will gradually become a group. When the new magistrate comes, he will hand over it to Raozhou, at least he will not have himself. Jiangzhou City does not have the vitality it is now.
But this hateful Mingqi leadership seemed to be more proficient in the laws of the Song Dynasty. Everything was different. Those houses with extremely poor families were easy to handle, and some people escaped, but their houses and farmland were allocated, which made Zhang Ji feel a headache. If he had known this, if he had allocated some money, the cave would have no resentment and would not have brought these people to cause trouble.
Listening to the noise outside, Zhang Ji looked at Mingqi coldly: "Are you insisting on doing this?"
"I heard Mr. Zhao Pu say something in Lushan, "The world is great, and the truth is the most." Mingqi smiled faintly.
When he talked to Song Jiu, this was not what Song Jiu said. What is the truth? Even historical books can tamper with it. What is the reason?
The sky is not big, the earth is not big, and the truth is not big, including power and wealth. What is big is wisdom. With wisdom, you can turn things around, and the truth can be changed. This wisdom is not only knowledge, but also scheming and power struggle.
Anyway, talking to Song Jiu made Mingqi laugh and cry. It was too dark. Is this still the legendary good official?
"You are not justifying, you are taking the lead in causing trouble."
"Whatever you say, or you can arrest me and leave the market."
"you!"
Just when Zhang Ji was angry, the yamen runner hurried over and reported: "Zhang Zhizhou, the new Zhizhou is here."
"Where?"
“It’s on the dock.”
"Don't pay attention to him."
"It's okay to ignore it, that person is different."
"Is it the big guy here?"
"It's Pu Guo Duke Song Jiu."
"Song Jiu?"
“That’s right.”
"Damn it!" Zhang Ji cursed and said to Mingqi: "Mingdong, in this way, you will take the people first. This new magistrate is a good official, and he will definitely give you a reply."
"He has not handed over yet, I recognize Zhizhou Zhang."
"you."
He ignored him tomorrow and withdrew directly, continuing to bring the people to complain and complain.
Zhang Ji was so angry that he wanted to jump, but he suppressed his anger and said to hundreds of former Jiangzhou people: "My fellow villagers, you also know why I left Jiangzhou, and it was because I stopped the officers and soldiers from looting, so I moved to Jiangzhou. But after I came back, Jiangzhou became a dead city. How difficult is it to go from chaos to governance? Some of them have not been done well, I hope you will forgive me for your crimes."
He is the governor, so it is not easy for him to put down his body and say these words.
However, no matter how heartwarming people are, these people need to eat, drink, live and survive. Therefore, before they finished speaking, they all shouted: "Give me back the house and return me to cultivate land."
Zhang Ji said coldly: "If you make trouble, I will be arrested."
No one listened, so Zhang Ji ordered: "Whoever causes trouble will catch him."
The yamen runners came up to arrest people, and the first one was to arrest Mingqi and his students. Seeing that Mingqi was arrested, these people pushed each other and refused to let the yamen runners arrest him.
Zhang Ji said again: "Catch it."
Both sides were about to get up, and more and more people were watching.
Chen Gong sat in the teahouse, watching all this, thinking that Song Jiu was indeed famous. Before the people arrived, he scared Zhang Gu and the others to this point. Because of this trouble, they came out to watch the fun together. He reached out to the window and made a gesture. When the few people saw this gesture, they winked each other and left separately.
Zhang Ji and Gu Tongzong did not expect that in broad daylight, someone would dare to attack their idea of accepting bribes. They were having a headache. Other magistrates were not afraid of taking office, but Song Jiu came, which made them feel afraid. He could not be considered Zhao Pu’s direct confidant. Song Jiu did not mention it himself, and his father-in-law Pan Mei was even more popular. If he wanted to cure, there would definitely be various problems. But when he took office, he would think about this situation.
Therefore, after a glance at each other, Zhang Ji ordered: "No matter who is causing trouble, you will be arrested."
Then he whispered: "Let's go out of the city first and keep that Song Jiu steady."
"Okay." Gu Tongzong said, but he was worried. He never dreamed that the emperor sent the "good man" Song Jiu.
"Brother Gu, don't worry. The military, civilians and officials are from Jiangbei together. What can they do if Song Jiu comes? Could it be that they will expel these people together and turn Jiangzhou into a ghost town again?"
"Yes." The two of them took officials of all sizes out of the city to greet Song Jiu. They were both magistrates, but the situation was different. Song Jiu was a Duke of the State, and his official position was still above Zhang Ji.
The group came to the dock. Song Jiu was observing. Although he was wearing official uniforms, he was simple and simple, with a tired face, and there was no one around him. He was just a servant. When Zhang Ji arrived, Song Jiu was talking to a shopkeeper.
Zhang Ji strode forward and said, "Jiulang. Why are you out of the mountain?"
"Zhang Zhizhou, I don't want to do it either. If it were other prefectures, I would probably refuse. However, Your Majesty asked me to come to Jiangzhou. How could I refuse?"
"Jiulang's noble character made Zhang admire him very much."
"I've been awarded too much. I'll thank Zhang Zhizhou for coming to Jiangzhou. At least it's better than I thought."
"I dare not dare, I am helpless. I am not very happy about Jiangzhou's disaster. I hate Cao!" Zhang Ji said while looking at Song Jiu's face. Song Jiu's sudden arrival shocked him, but he thought clearly on the way that although there were some riots in Jiangzhou and Song Jiu did not come early or late, he was coming up at this moment, which made him feel a little uneasy. However, it was at least stronger than the ghost city, and the court did not want to make it ugly. I heard that Cao Han and Song Jiu had a bad relationship. Sure enough, after hearing the three words Cao, Song Jiu stopped talking.
Most of the day, Song Jiucai said, "I was lucky enough to have Zhang Zhizhou."
"It's hard, and I haven't done it well."
"oh."
"Some troublemakers don't know the importance of it, bewitching the people and causing trouble... what a headache is there."
"It's not bad, Bashu has not healed the trauma yet."
“That’s too.”
"Let's go to the city to hand over."
"This is not in a hurry. Jiulang came from afar and asked Zhang to welcome you."
"It's OK."
The group found a tavern and went in. Zhang Ji ordered food and started drinking and chatting.
Song Jiu asked, Zhang Ji answered.
Maybe each has their own plans, but it can be considered a serious question and a serious answer, so that Song Jiu can learn more about the situation in Jiangzhou. We should have had a happy time during the meal, and Zhang Ji and Gu Tongzhang were relieved.
After dinner, several people walked into the city.
At this time, the people in the city also heard the news. If it were the people of Jiangzhou, there might not be a few people who knew the name Song Jiu, but the current Jiangzhou people are from Jiangbei, and at least half of them have heard of some of the deeds of Song Jiu. Some people are happy, but some visionary people may not be very happy.
Many people left the city to see Song Jiu.
When Cheng Bo returned to Huangzhou, Ru'er and Liu were still in Jiangzhou City. After hearing this, he also went out to watch.
Song Jiu walked in front, with a yamen runner leading the horse behind him. Dahong's official uniform was very conspicuous, and he was seen from a distance.
Ru'er covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Song Jiu is actually him."
Liu was also extremely surprised.
"Madam, he is such a noble man."
"Are you noble?" Liu was a little confused, but after looking around, after all, there were so many people coming to Jiangbei, and the law did not punish the masses. The same was true for her. But she was still a little nervous. Why did he come to Jiangzhou first while pretending to be a good person? Where did he go in the past few days, and where is another servant? Should I remind the Gu Tongzong?
Song Jiu approached the city gate.
The city gate was in a mess, and Song Jiu suddenly made a strange move, raised his robe and bowed down and said, "This worship was Song who led the court to worship the people who died tragically in Jiangzhou."
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Cao Han made a mistake in the massacre of the city, and the court did not severely punish him and even more wrongly.
Then the second bow: "This bow was Song who led the officers and soldiers to die tragically to Jiangzhou and admit his mistake."
Then the third prayer: "This prayer was to lead the imperial officials and Song to accompany the people of Jiangzhou."
After three worships, the people were silent.
But Song Jiu stood there for a long time and stared at the city wall. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that there was still some dark red on the city wall, maybe it was blood...
