Chapter 14 Selfish Lantian County

Sun Chuanting sat on the seat of the county order for a long time, and finally stood up and said to Yun Meng: "It seems that this Lantian County has become the world of the Yun family. ”

Yun Meng shook his head and said: "Sixty percent of the grain in Xi'an Mansion comes from Lantian County, three of the nine sides, and forty percent of the military grain comes from Lantian County.

Since Lantian County began to collect commercial taxes, Shaanxi has paid 17,867 taels of silver this year, and my Lantian County has 10,000 taels.

This is where my Lantian County's loyalty to Daming lies.

Several times in the world's states and counties, only my Lantian County pays the summer grain and autumn tax in full every year, and other states and counties heard that there is a Liao salary plus faction, one by one complaining bitterly, only I Lantian County is anxious about His Majesty's urgency, the first day I heard that there is a Liao salary levy, three days later, I exhausted my Lantian County treasury, and the fast horse escorted the Liao salary to Xi'an Mansion.

This is the heart of my Yun clan to Your Majesty.

For Shangguan, my Yun clan has done my best to help, and to Your Majesty, my Yun clan is filial piety.

When my lord first came to Shaanxi to take up the governor's position, what was the reason for taking the lead in attacking my Lantian County?

Could it be that the people of my Lantian County who are exploited by my Yun clan are not happy, or is it that the people of my Lantian County are now unjustly imprisoned and dare not speak out?

Didn't you?

Not to mention that my fourteen-year-old nephew saw Jiannu repeatedly knocking on the pass, which made me restless, and personally led a hundred families to fight against the Jiannu Tartars in the grassland desert outside the mouth, so that the Ming army in the land of Liaodong could take a breather.

So Yun Clan, I'm sorry for Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the court, so that the adults can say that the Yun Clan's rebellious words in Lantian County cover the sky with one hand?

If you say this, don't you be afraid of chilling the hearts of the loyal? ”

Sun Chuanting sneered: "Your Yun clan is a family of bandits, how to explain this matter?" ”

Yun Meng smiled: "The Yun family was a disaster in the early years, and they have been punished by adults, a board, nearly a year of hard labor, our three brothers have been punished, and the mistakes they made can be regarded as over."

The weapon we used to do evil back then was also forged into a ploughshare by the adult, and besides, my Yun clan is a family of bandits, even if this lawsuit is brought to Your Majesty, the adult will not be able to win, right? ”

Sun Chuanting smiled, patted his head and said, "Back then, the official was still merciful and let you live." ”

Yun Meng smiled: "One drink and one peck, there is no kindness of adults back then, and there is no Lantian County that is prosperous everywhere today." ”

Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "What a satisfactory explanation, you didn't say that the eunuch Xue Yuanyi came to your house in October this year and took away a thousand catties of sweet potatoes from your house to give to Your Majesty to taste, Your Majesty praised your Yun family, and personally wrote the word "potato Liang" and your Yun family's glorious lintel, which can be regarded as a matter of saving some face for the official.

It's a good arrangement, it really makes the official a little speechless.

It's just that who taught you that? ”

Yun Meng rubbed his hands honestly and said embarrassedly: "This is all what my nephew taught the subordinate before leaving." ”

"The nine-year-old county magistrate in the past, and now the fourteen-year-old Tongzhi Yunzhao?"

"Exactly!"

"Is it really him who is the real master of your Yun Clan?"

Yun Meng spread his hands and said: "The adults are also clear about what happened back then, and the Yun Clan's Yin Clan has no possibility of being in charge of the family business.

Now, the patriarch of the Yun clan is Yun Zhao, the nephew of Xia Guan, the child has been ignorant since he was a child, and one day he suddenly opened his wisdom and became this great cause. ”

Sun Chuanting sneered: "It seems that this official should also send the ignorant child from the family to Lantian County, so that he can get close to the wild boar and have an epiphany." ”

Yun Meng smiled: "There are also people who do this, and they are injured by wild boars. ”

"Yun Meng, Yun Hu, Yun Jiao, you and the others are indeed not extremely vicious, otherwise you would have fallen to the ground back then.

Since you say that Lantian County is rich and prosperous governed by the head of your family, then you should take your own official to see Lantian County, and look at this land governed by thieves in the past, and you must see every inch of land. ”

The anger on Sun Chuanting's face disappeared a little, and the person became calmer, and he no longer mentioned anything about Xinzhi County.

Yun Meng said with some embarrassment: "This is naturally okay, the Yun clan has nothing to see unsightly, that is, ...... It's ......"

"What's it? Can't you say? ”

Yun Meng said with a bitter face: "It's not that I can't say it, but I can't say it clearly, even the lower officials don't know where the county border of Lantian County is now."

This year's autumn harvest is ...... In the past, large families in Qianxian, Fufeng, Chang'an, Lintong, Shangnan, Shangzhou, and even Huayin liked to come to Lantian County to pay taxes...... I don't know if adults are going to these places?

Since Zhang Bingzhong feinted to attack Xiangyang Mansion, there are also people in Hanzhong who are willing to take their whole family to Lantian County...... I don't know how to count these places......"

"What?"

Sun Chuanting exclaimed, looked at Yun Meng in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "You said that the nearby states and counties have already begun to pay taxes to your Yun family?"

Why don't you report it? ”

Yun Meng scratched his head and said, "It's been reported!" We have been miserable for a long time, and we have reported it five or six times, Tiger, you go and invite Master Zhang, and let him come to talk about it. ”

Sun Chuanting forcibly suppressed his furious heart, drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, paced back and forth in the lobby, and after a while, said in a deep voice: "Where did you report it?" ”

"Xi'an Mansion, even Xue Yuanyi, the great eunuch sent by His Majesty to collect Liao's salary, also reported it, but I didn't see anyone come out to speak, and then, my little nephew became the same acquaintance of Xi'an Mansion."

Sun Chuanting's hands trembled badly in his sleeves, but his face was light, and it was not until Zhang Zhushu arrived that he sat in the lobby of the magistrate, and ordered Zhang Zhushu to take out this year's autumn grain book, and he was ready to take a good look at it.

Zhang Zhushu is a proud person, and took all the account books to Sun Chuanting with the officials, and finally said proudly: "My lord, the land and grain books of Lantian County for three years are here, and a certain family does not dare to say that this is the most clear and understandable book of the Ming Dynasty, but dare to say that if the adult finds out that there is a penny missing, there is no need for the adult to order, and a certain family will hang themselves in the hall of Lantian County, and then ask the executioner to peel the body of a certain family and place it in the ring pavilion of the county yakou to stop the comer." ”

Sun Chuanting's hands quickly flipped through the book, and his two eyes shone with a faint blue light like the eyes of a fierce beast.

The six departments of the county government, he is too familiar with these official affairs, and in two hours, he roughly flipped through them.

Then he sat in the lobby and said nothing.

What a shock!

The grain produced in Lantian County in one year has exceeded the grain output of the entire Guanzhong in the second year of Chongzhen, although there was a great drought in Guanzhong in the second year of Chongzhen, even so, Sun Chuanting couldn't say a word in shock.

"Is there an error in the numbers in the book?"

I don't know how long it took, Sun Chuanting's voice sounded faintly in the lobby.

Master Liu waited for Sun Chuanting to ask this sentence, and he had been waiting for two hours, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said: "The reason why my lord can see that the people in Xi'an Mansion have no worries about food and clothing, and that businessmen come and go endlessly, is all thanks to the support of my Lantian County. ”

Sun Chuanting arched his hand towards Liu Shen and said: "Master Liu's book is unparalleled, Sun Chuanting is negligent, so I apologize." ”

Liu Ce gained face, so he no longer acted arrogantly, leaned over and saluted: "My lord is too humble." ”

Sun Chuanting's voice became calmer, and Chaoyun fiercely arched his hand and said, "Lord County Cheng has worked hard. ”

Yun Meng hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Where the lower officials are rude, please also invite your Excellency Haihan, in addition, your lord wants to see my Lantian County group practice, it's not that the three of us brothers prevaricate the adult, but I really can't show the adult manpower."

According to the order of my county lord in Lantian County, all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 55 in Lantian County are group training.

If there are no thieves and bandits, I Lantian County will never call a group to practice for no reason, if once the bell and drum are ringed to summon the group to practice, all the men in Lantian County will put down their work and fight the enemy together, so the adults want to see the group practice, unless the thieves invade my Lantian County. ”

Sun Chuanting sighed and said: "Now, the world is full of people, since Lantian County has strong soldiers and strong horses, why can't it send troops to sweep away the thieves, and return a safe place in the middle of the gate and a safe place in the world?" ”

Liu Shen arched his hand and said: "The people of Lantian County have the responsibility of guarding the land of Lantian County, but they have no responsibility to guard the rest of the place.

That was the responsibility of the people and officials in the rest of the land. ”

"In this way, even if the thieves break through Xi'an City, will you sit idly by?"

Liu Shen said with a smile: "In the past, the people of Lantian County were not happy, thieves were rampant, the people had no food and clothing, and when they sold their sons and daughters, none of the nobles in Xi'an City came out of the city to appease the people and give us a grain of rice. ”
