Chapter 1623 People's Livelihood Events, Suitable Candidates

After the war, there were still a large number of Song people who went through hardships and brought the old and the young. Most of these miserable Li people had been captured by the Jin army, and now they are also looking forward to having food with their families and living a peaceful life.

However, among the many people, many of them hurriedly fled from their hometowns to escape the military disaster, and now they can still return to their hometowns, and Xiao Tang of course let these Song people go and stay. However, there are only a few homeless people who have a home, and some of the rest have returned to their hometowns, and I am afraid that their families have already been taken captive by the Jin, and their fields and houses have also been turned into a white land; Others' homelands are still under the rule of Liu Yu of the puppet Qi, and they do not want to go back to suffer tyranny again; There are many more people who have been plundered and enslaved by the early Jin army, and not only have some family members been slaughtered, but they have long been left with no foreign objects and nowhere to go...... Xiao Tang will naturally make arrangements for their livelihood, and these displaced people, of course, are all happy and willing to become the children of Xiao Tang's government.

First of all, it was only a rough count, just the people who were taken captive and enslaved one after another, and there was no place for food, clothing, and shelter unless they were helped by the righteous army, and the number of Song people who were most in need of settlement reached three or four hundred thousand, and this did not include the people in the city of Jeju and even several surrounding counties and towns who had to be appeased after the war.

Among these people, some were born in crops, some were from the city, and there were also merchants, officials, scholars, and other people who worked as people in various walks of life, and taught them to live in peace and perform their own professions. It is also necessary to sort out these people again, record them separately, and compile a book. Just building a camp to settle down temporarily is not a long-term solution, and the righteous army is biased towards the general Zuoli, although there are also leaders such as Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Yang Xiong, Lin Ren and other leaders who have been the head of the county government and the head of the detention court to maintain public order, but the manpower is also quite insufficient. Xiao Tang also knows very well that although he is now under his command with a lot of talents, he can lead the troops to fight a large number of generals, and the state officials and virtuous ministers who are good at governing civil affairs, as well as a large number of experienced officials are still very lacking.

On the side of Baozhou, Liaodong, there is a combination of political officials composed of Wen Huanzhang, Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan, and Sun Ding to take care of civil affairs, and resist on Jingdong Road and even the north of Hedong Road, although the think tanks Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui around him can also temporarily stand alone, but it is only a temporary expedient measure, Xiao Tang said in his heart that he still needs these henchmen to follow him and continue to go north to make suggestions.

The original subordinate officials of Jeju Mansion have experienced the surrender and escape of the Jin army after the capture of the Jin army, and a little bit of news that Xiao Tang paid attention to during the period is: When Pang Wanchun, Tang Bin and even the soldiers and horses of Shuibo Liangshan counterattack recaptured the Jeju Governor's office, Liu Tang captured the Xu officials who were allocated by the Jeju government to supply the officials and troops when Gao Yu conquered Liangshan in the chaotic battle, and then switched to Wang Jin, who switched to the Jin army when Jeju fell. Liu Tang also brought a few members who had been killing people and licking blood for a long time when they were fighting in the green forest, and a military Jian who was particularly reckless in the green forest did not care about the military punishment and beheading at that time.

Evil has evil retribution, for Wang Jin and other slaves and beasts who make some pen and ink articles to defile Black Liangshan, and betray the country to seek glory, they just cut them out in pieces instead of digging out his belly and dissecting his heart and eating meat and drinking soup...... Xiao Tang simply turned a blind eye and didn't ask too much. In fact, Song Jiang, another official in the county government under the rule of Jeju, since he was also known as a person who was proficient in swords and pens and skilled in the way of officials, although he was only an official, Song Jiang had lived in the prefect for a long time, was familiar with government affairs and knew the local people's feelings, and his proficiency in laws and regulations and people's livelihood from the grassroots level was even stronger than many state officials who seemed to be transferred after a few years. But of course, Xiao Tang would not entrust the important task of governing the people to Song Jiang, who he did not trust.

At least not now.

Now Xiao Tang does not need to listen to the will of the imperial court, but after all, almost all the officials of the state government with outstanding political achievements are scholars and scholars who have studied the books of sages and sages and are loyal to the emperor. Until now, it will still be the group with the most rejection of the forces of the Xiao and Tang dynasties who have turned their backs on the imperial court, but if the war goes well in the future, when they can recover the two roads of Hebei and take advantage of the situation to go north to capture the land of Yanyun, after combining with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other henchmen, they have already made other preparations, and the problem of the shortage of civil officials in governance will surely be solved. However, at present, it is still in the boundary of Jingdong Road in the Song Dynasty, and the selection of suitable candidates who are good at handling the people's livelihood is still imminent.

The various sheds built inside and outside the Jeju Governor's Office have also shown their scale, first by Xu Guanzhong and others and then in the surrounding countryside on the fertile land to turn over the fields, Xiao Tang because of the recruitment of people in the management of people's livelihood still can't help but feel a little headache, but four other people have voted, after receiving the leader's recommendation, first to Xiao Tang to report the identity and intentions of the comer.

However, when Xiao Tang heard the names of two of them, he immediately looked happy and said: "If these two people come to vote sincerely, they will definitely become the most suitable person to take care of the people's livelihood in the state capital under the rule of Jingdong Road." ”......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the living room of the Jeju Governor's Office, Xiao Tang first met two guests who were elegant and kind, but only wore coarse cloth green shirts. When one of them came, he was very close to the leaders of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, who were born in the two county yas, and now when he arrived at the Jeju government again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion; "At this time of the year, I still reported to the prefect to the county for civil affairs, but I revisited the old place after many years. It is also the luck of Xiao Ke's life to visit Xiao Shuai, who has been able to help the people of Li in the state, and it is also the luck of Xiao Ke's life......"

This person Xiao Tang is also very familiar, because he is the magistrate of Yuncheng County back then, and Song Jiang, Lei Heng, and Zhu Tong were also on errands under him.

Xiao Tang also remembered that in the original work of Water Margin, where there are more corrupt officials and good officials are rare, Wen Bin gave him a very high evaluation when he appeared, and he once clearly expressed him: he is an honest official and honest in his work. Every heart of compassion is always accompanied by the thought of kindness. Fight for land and land, argue straight and then implement; Fights and fights, and decisions are made only when they are important. Leisure to play the piano to meet guests, should also be divided into the people's feelings. Although the county magistrate is a minister, he is the parent of a citizen.

However, Shi Wenbin also seems to be the kind of person who does things at a glance, firewood, rice, oil and salt do not care about acting in accordance with the law, and he is too upright, he seems to be a little inactive in managing his subordinates. Song Jiang was angry and hid in the mansion of Song Taigong after killing Yan Poxi, and Zhu Tong and Lei Heng went to arrest him again but still found nothing, and at this time, Wen Bin did not pursue responsibility...... If it is said that he is in charge of things, it is not true, at the beginning, the thieves of Shuibo Liangshan Wang Lun in several state capitals such as Jeju gathered to rob, and other state capitals and county officials did not act, but Shi Wenbin clearly said that the thieves refused the enemy's official army, and he was also afraid that there would be rampant thieves and villains in the countryside, so he ordered Lei Heng and Zhu Tong to join the patrol. If there are thieves, they will be immediately exterminated, and the villagers should not be disturbed, and they are also ordered to take a few pieces of big red leaf trees from the mountains of Dongxi Village to be collected and submitted to the county, and to check whether the county officials are lazy and vain.

As for Song Jiang, who has always had a deep friendship with him, Shi Wenbin deliberately made the murder case lightly, obviously intentionally protecting and shielding (the original text even clearly stated that Tang Niu'er, who was out of nowhere, knew that Tang Niu'er, who helped Song Jiang get out, did not know, but he was bent on saving Song Jiang and only brought him for questioning, which can also be said to be a stain on him). It also seems to be very contradictory to his previous uprightness and honesty in his work, and his handling of civil entanglements or murder cases and other lawsuits to distinguish between right and wrong and handle them impartially, and he deserves to be the high praise of the parents of one party......

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Shi Wenbin, who can be called clean and self-righteous in the Fǔ Bài officialdom, is also somewhat similar to his subordinate Zhu Tong back then. Gu Nian is righteous and angry, once it involves his own people in his eyes, whether it is Shi Wenbin or Zhu Tong in terms of their identities at that time, it is indeed inevitable that they will abuse the law and seize power.

However, as long as it is not an excessively strong and upright official like Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, Shi Wenbin is somewhat consistent with him in another deed, and in Xiao Tang's opinion, the former Song Dynasty government officials who will also be of great use in governing civil affairs are often much easier to recruit these people to help.
