Chapter 165: State of War
If you think it's a state of war, I'll turn around and leave......
What does that mean?
Almost none of you have studied logic, and you don't know much about the relationship between the techniques, and it took a while to figure out the cause and effect in it.
Cao Changqing thinks that the county to which he belongs is still in a state of war with the northerners, and in this case, it is only right that I killed the person you sent.
At the same time, Cao Changqing also told a fact, if he kills himself, what will the other gentry think, what do chickens think, ducks, cats and dogs?
But Li Xiangqian is very simple to burst this bubble, if you admit the state of war, then I will come to you according to the principle of the state of war.
He saw one thing, the people of Jiangnan may not be weak, but as long as normal people live their own lives and their honor is not violated, they will not be able to expect them to stand up against themselves for the time being.
This is the very game theoretic option.
Lin Xianling knew that it was time for him to make a choice.
Cao Changqing was reckless before, and conspired with his brother who went out to kill other people's propaganda team, which is the result.
As a contact elite cultivated by a professional team of Confucian scholars, the strongest literati of this era, and a jinshi who worked hard for twenty years......
"This case is very widely implicated, and in the opinion of this official, it is still necessary to hand it over to the prefect above...... Do you think so?"
It's really difficult for friendly forces to turn into the wind.
"Such a big case should be like this, but this case must have an attitude, so that it can be reported, and, as far as I know, this Cao Juren, as well as his brother Peng Shuzhi, but relying on internal and external collusion, the annual monthly profit and silver are half of the county order, and each person has a share, cough cough, if you raid the house, maybe it will be no problem to feed the people of the whole city comfortably for a year."
Although Lin Zhiji also knew this, the chain of interests that had been formed for a long time, the local master Huang Shilang had long been two percent of the county commanders, and they were divided into eight.
But is this something that can be touched casually, local people, but no matter what, although I haven't been killed yet, hide and seek, but a group of people can play the country in vain and play the country badly, and I don't think there will be too good discipline.
Lin Zhiji's approach was already expected by Li Xiangqian, "I just don't know, the person sent by County Magistrate Lin to take people will accept benefits from others and lie that there is no one at home?" It's better to give a reward and punishment system, distribute according to work, do the work, and grab more and get more. ”
"This lord, the people of this county have only been attacked by the Japanese a few years ago, and they really need a disaster, so they still have to recuperate, and they dare not be implicated."
Li Xiangqian was taken aback and said: "Wait a minute, I also sent people to Japan, but the Japanese generals have a lot of management over those ronins, can't that deceive me?" ”
Lin Zhiji hurriedly explained: "This lord, this widow, is really a lot of local people, it is Lord Yan Yingyuan, four years ago when he arrived in this county, there was a Haikou Gu Santaro led hundreds of warships to invade the harbor, Ying Yuan led the troops to guard, fired three arrows in a row, the Haikou was frightened, did not dare to commit it again, only then did there be peace in the past few years." ”
Li Xiangqian frowned and said, "What is this saying?" ”
Lin Zhiji hurriedly explained: "Back to my lord, in this land south of the Yangtze River, the Japanese are rampant, but it is far-fetched, the real large number of pirates, or the ignorant people of my Ming Dynasty, they are thrown into the main door of the sea, but they are afraid of the national law, for fear of implicating their families, so they simply do nothing, abandon their ancestors, change the clothes and clothes of the Japanese people, and even speak the language of the Japanese people, and marry the Japanese women, just so as not to implicate their families." ”
Li Xiangqian frowned, as if he was familiar, and said: "They have always been like this, and they will shout outside the trench not to shoot, I am Chinese, don't care, the pirate problem will be solved, this is interesting......"
Li Xiangqian knew that as Lin Zhiji said before, what kind of leading troops to guard, I am afraid that it is the Spring and Autumn penmanship, waiting for the robbery outside the city to end, and then slowly leaving, but this Yan Yingyuan can shoot arrows with a bow, which is also great.
In the Ming Dynasty, the border generals relied on the city defense, consumed the enemy, and after making the people satisfied with robbery, slaughter, and rape, they sent a few people to pretend to chase after them, and then reported how much victory they had won, all of which were unspoken rules that the emperor knew.
It's just that, as an emperor, the happiness of the common people has nothing to do with them, as long as it doesn't interfere with the regime, who cares if you are killed, who cares if you are touched on the street.
This is the problem, unless it is a big homicide case, otherwise, those so-called small cases, the cost of solving them will inevitably be greater than the value of the case, want to solve the case? Don't evade taxes yet, old friend.
In the later American Empire, the establishment of the police department was supported by local property taxes and other taxes.
If China has a system of security egalitarianism, that is, the people and the rich enjoy a level of security treatment, then in the United States, it is divided according to the community.
If it is in the richest community, it is almost every block is on duty 24 hours a day, there are people staring at the monitoring at all times, ready to support at any time, if there is any wind and grass, first notify the residents by text message, your community has found a homeless fart or something, and the idle people will inevitably be interrogated, which is simply meticulous care.
Although the community of the middle class will be a little worse, it is not something to talk about casually, and if there is a case, it will definitely come to the door.
And in those completely destroyed communities, it is finished, not only the police station can't afford to support it, but even the school is the worst, and it is light to directly promote fans in front of the teacher, and under the vicious circle, it is almost unsolvable.
In later generations, there was such a case, who kept saying that he bought a house in the United States, and the price was cheaper than the house in Shanghai, but not long after moving in, he was shot directly...... Because even New York City has huge slums, and it's not like Manhattan everywhere.
Similarly, the lack of commercial tax revenues at this time meant that it was difficult to provide security and military products beyond its ability to the inhabitants under its rule.
This is a power gap, Li Xiangqian now fully understands why Zheng Zhilong can rise, it seems that he is a wise and martial artist, but in his roots he is just a target set up by the wealthy families in Jiangnan, the reason why Qian Qianyi will accept Zheng Zhilong's son as an apprentice, is it his money?
Mingshenzong grew up from the people of the royal palace, doesn't he know how rich the merchant is?
It's still that problem, if it's not the emperor's holy decree, someone will help you carry it out, and if you are busy, you have to give some benefits.
After we crossed, we found that there are often people who like to find someone to make white gloves, open a shop, and make money to support their sisters, don't the ancients understand?
If the result of being busy for a while is to give their biggest cheese to the court itself, guess what?
That's why, Jiajing, who originally didn't like eunuchs daring to do government affairs, finally chose to send a large number of eunuchs down to the people to collect taxes.
Similarly, the so-called navy in Jiangnan has a very low sense of existence, and has long been reduced to an ornament like the Inspection Department.
What if, he was saying, the elders suddenly appeared, relying on the capacity of the shipyards, and began patrolling the Yangtze River and its many tributaries to maintain their presence?
There are also difficulties in this, the use of small steamers to patrol the Yangtze River, you need to have fuel supply, logistics supply, even if you use electric energy, it is not something that ordinary people in the new time and space can master.
If you have to rely on older coal-fired ships, it may be easier to operate, but where can you find coal?
No, the idea is wrong, this kind of patrol should not be a permanent place somewhere, after all, the ships patrolling in the Bohai Sea now are all big ships that can go to the sea to cruise, and no matter how hard you train the river patrol boats, it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and the first thing you should do is to exterminate those pirates, in fact, those pirates are mostly fishermen in good years, and they are directly robbed in bad years.
In this way, it is also a good idea to master the sea transportation before the train is repaired to the south of the Yangtze River, although there is still a lot of land in Shanghai at this time, and you have to wait for the sand to be washed into the island or reclaimed land, but there are many areas along the coast itself.
The vacuum of power, if you don't occupy it, then naturally someone will occupy it, and now that it's the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are still "pirates" hanging around, which is even more interesting.
This Cao Juren is not calm, he was admitted in the year of the apocalypse, and after serving for 20 years, he basically entered Beijing for two or three times, and then resigned himself to go home and become a squire, although he is also desperately cultivating a successor, but in general, there is a lack of connections, and there are not many people who are really on top in the same year, and they may be able to roar in the county, but they are not farts when they arrive in Fucheng.
Although the emperor is gone, Nanjing's management team has taken over the banner, so the township test is still going on, and if he Cao Changqing arrives in the mansion, he will probably not have such treatment.
"Lord of the county order, the students are willing to admit punishment, I have land and property, and I can sell it to pay them compensation."
Lin Zhiji is also satisfied, you have been on the road so early, and I am not as unlucky as my master.
For these "Shilin" readers, Lin Zhiji can't look down on them, first of all, these people, as defeated dogs in the imperial examination, how can they compare to Jinshi like themselves, even if they are top three Jinshi, they are also Jinshi.
Secondly, as a local native, in the face of a county order like him, he naturally coped with it in every way, and even he himself knew that he was coping with it, but at this moment of chaos in the world, it would be good to be able to save his life.
Of course, seeing that for the sake of this picturesque country, it is bound to be chaotic, and even a woman like Mrs. Xing simply pulled the flag and took refuge in the imperial capital, I don't know how many people can move around, it is really not good, it is the duty to find an opportunity to slip away.
So he doesn't object to opening the plate and eating a dessert before he slips away.
Li Xiangqian's eyes were playful, and he also watched them perform, and Lin Zhiji also asked casually, "How much money are you going to pay." ”
"I still have cash at home, and if I go to borrow money from Yinzi, I can also borrow a thousand taels of knives! If you find a way to embezzle some more, you will be compensated by one person for one hundred taels. ”
It is indeed not easy to take out a thousand taels of silver.
The county officials of this era have a year's salary, which is actually equivalent to food, the existence of cloth and other things, will be dozens of taels a year, just this, how to live a few concubines with hot kang heads without making extra money? You know, there is only one Hai Jui in history.
Li Xiangqian smiled, the calculation was really good, one life, one hundred taels.
With a gesture, Li Xiangqian took the money from his subordinates and said: "This is the exchange voucher of the imperial capital, which can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver dollars in the imperial capital, didn't you say one hundred taels and one life, I will return you one hundred taels here, and I will exchange twelve lives of your family, as for you have a young son, twelve years old, and several daughters, I am not afraid of their retaliation, so I will let it go directly, but you must be sentenced to death." ”
Cao Changqing said unreasonably: "I'm only worth a hundred taels!" ”
"You are fate, and others are also fate, why should people have a hundred taels, you can't be a hundred taels."
"I'm a member of the Apocalypse Dynasty!"
Li Xiangqian said: "Lifting people is also people, is it not a person when lifting people?" That law says, if you are not guilty of murder, you can show it to me. ”
"That's all the ignorance of the villagers, offending your family, I can find out and punish it."
"Don't worry, those who come up with ideas, give orders, and really do it, I won't let go of any of them!"
As he spoke, a commotion came in.
Immediately ordered to block the mouths of the Cao family, and at the same time get out of the way, the fast shift official really moved quickly, and now most of the people in these households live close to the yamen, which is convenient for doing things, but it is also convenient for arrest.
This should be the family of the household scrivener, even a little doll was caught, although Li Xiangqian was very disgusted with the custom of kissing and hiding each other in this era, but he did not have the idea of connecting children.
A person who is about the same size as Cao Changqing, dressed as a minister, is naturally the main one, Li Xiangqian said: "Peng Wenzheng, this Cao Changqing has already recruited, saying that you were the instigator of the murder of my propaganda team, he is an accomplice, and he asks for a lenient punishment for him, do you admit your guilt or not." ”
Peng Wenzheng was anxious and said: "My lord, the villain has always been obedient to you, you can't just give me up." ”
He only dared to look at Lin Zhiji, and he also understood that if he fell into the hands of the northerners, he would be dead.
In the first few days, after killing people, he collected all those loudspeakers and other good things home, relying on previous observations, and slowly understood how to use them, but for the people in the north, he felt even more mysterious, and later, those things suddenly could no longer be used, he naturally didn't know that it was because there was no electricity, but he also felt that it was just so.
After so long, no one retaliated, but I heard that those people who came from the imperial capital to bewitch the people all returned north one by one.
