Chapter 150 What should I do if I am hated by the crown princess?
When watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we focus on the good ministers and strategists in the Three Kingdoms, as well as the unparalleled fierce generals on the battlefield, such as Zhao Zilong's Changban Slope Seven into Seven, Gan Ning's Hundred Cavalry Kicking Cao Ying, the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's Victory with Less, the Battle of Chibi, and the Burning Joint Venture.
When watching the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, we also pay attention to the eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, what four fierce, four unique, thirteen masters, and thirteen stick monks to save the King of Qin, as well as Li Shimin's thousands of horses broke 100,000 and killed the Quartet, the thirty-six roads of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and the seventy-two roads of dust and smoke, fighting with each other for many years, killing people's heads, but no one remembers, this killed people, not pigs.
In the fifth year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (609 AD), the population of the Sui Dynasty counted 8,907,546 households in the country at that time, with a total of 4,6019,956 people. However, Li Tang was established, until the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, when it was completely unified, with a total of 3,041,11871 households, a total of 12,351,681 households. But in the early years of Wude, the Tang Dynasty had less than 2 million households, 8.41 million people.
From the fifth year of the Great Cause to the seventh year of Wude, in just 15 years, there were 46 million people, and only 8.41 million people remained. Five out of six of them have disappeared.
Of course, this is a heavy topic. But it's also an unavoidable topic.
Getting back to the point, the old farmer choked up and told Chen Ying.
It turned out that Wang Shichong had already realized that Li Tang's certain goal must be himself when Li Tang eliminated Liu Wuzhou's forces in Hedong. Therefore, as early as the beginning of autumn last year, Wang Shichong began to reorganize the army for war, and if he wanted to reorganize the army, he naturally needed a large amount of food and strong men.
Therefore, in the end, these taxes and strong men fell on the heads of the people of the Central Plains. Wang Shichong ordered all prefectures and counties to count and inspect the existing soldiers, check and verify the household registration, and leave only one adult in each household, and all the others were conscripted into the army, hoping to increase the number of foot soldiers to 500,000.
Zheng Guoda Situ, Ren Kaifuyi, and the three divisions, Nayan, and Chen Guogong Duan Da admonished Wang Shichong, Chen said that the people were living in poverty, and the recruitment of troops was not in accordance with the law, and I was afraid that the people would be unbearable, and there would be a catastrophe like a collapse, and stated thirteen political affairs that were not suitable for the current situation at that time.
Wang Shichong was also concerned about the chaos, and after calming down, he read the admonition in detail and carefully, and agreed with Duan Da's opinion, and handed it over to the secretary for extensive discussion.
Most of what Duan Da said was adopted, so he changed to a five-ding three-draw system, and ordered all counties to send Ding Zhuang to Luoyang City for intensive training. Although Duan Da's opinion has greatly reduced the heavy burden on the people, this burden is still very heavy. Almost all the people were not spared, Wang Shichong asked officials to collect 30% of the tax, and they dared to collect 50%, or even 60%. Not to mention the strong man, even the strong girl will not let go.
As the saying goes, there are countermeasures and policies. When the central policy reached the localities, the localities would become Gali, and the common people, in order to avoid this hopeless military service, bribed the local officials, and it was common to exchange large amounts of money and goods in exchange for exemption from military service. However, as a large number of ordinary people paid bribes, the appetite of local officials also grew.
What ordinary people can do with three or five hundred dollars, they dare to charge three or five thousand dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars. The people have no money, and they don't want their sons or children to be requisitioned, as long as they sell their houses and land, this old farmer has three sons, according to Wang Shichong's conscription policy, all three sons must be conscripted, the eldest and the second are good to say, they have already started a family, but the younger son has just gotten married, and his wife is about to give birth.
For this reason, the old peasant only had to pay bribes to the local officials, and in order to exempt his youngest son from military service, the old peasant sold all the 54 acres of land that his family had in his family, and got a total of 320 yuan, all of which were given to the local officials.
When Chen Ying heard this, his lungs exploded. Chen Ying, who is a second person, hates corruption very much, and in later generations he is a poor dick, although he can't get used to it, he can only mix it cold. But now it's different, he is now the pacification envoy of Henan, and he is also the pacification envoy of the imperial history (Yushi Zhongcheng) hanging the book, he can't control other places, at least in the eighteen counties of Henan County, he is the number one, and the county officials can be dismissed on the spot, as for the officials below the seventh grade, they can directly report to Chang'an and be executed on the spot. Officials below the fourth grade can report to Chang'an and be dismissed on the spot. Even if he is a first- or second-class member, he can also play impeachment.
In fact, Chen Ying's official position is the eight-mansion patrol in the legendary drama, but Chen Ying is just a mansion. However, Chen Ying is a little different from the Bafu Patrol, because he is the right servant of the Xingtai Shangshu, and he also serves as the deputy marshal of the marching soldiers and horses, he holds the power of the army, and those who carry guns are definitely different from those who do not carry guns.
The pacification envoy who does not bring a gun can only play tricks, and he will be sued to the front of the emperor, if both sides have a backstage, this will be a bad debt that cannot be sorted out and sorted out.
But Chen Ying is leading the troops, and confronting him is to give him the truth. You can directly lead troops to clean up, at least in the eighteen counties of Henan, the major clans and landlords have no one who can wrestle with Chen Ying.
Chen Ying was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
With Chen Ying's order, from Shaanxi County, to Taolin, and then to Xin'an and other counties, whether it was the county order, the county guard, the county lieutenant, and what Changshi, Liucao Shi, and the county lieutenant, immediately left the work at hand and rushed to Xin'an County to accept Chen Ying's summons.
In order to prevent these officials from protecting each other and deceiving their superiors and subordinates, Chen Ying sent Guo Luo and Zhou Qing to quickly disperse to various counties and counties to investigate the situation. In addition, Chen Ying also set up a report mailbox and an interview envoy in various counties, and there is no problem if he does not know how to write a pleading, and Chen Ying's interview gives him full authority to accept unjust, false, and wrongful cases, giving the people an opportunity to uphold justice and complain about grievances.
The most luxurious house in Xin'an County is actually not a county office, but a courtyard of the Zheng family in Xingyang. When Chen Ying occupied Xin'an, Zheng Rentai, the general of the Right Military Guard, had already ordered someone to clean up the Zheng Villa in Xin'an, and sent his henchman Zheng Anchun to invite Chen Ying in.
Chen Ying looked at this Zheng mansion and nodded from time to time. Zheng Anchun secretly rejoiced in his heart, as one of the seven sects and five hopes in the world, the Zheng family, in fact, not only Xingyang, but almost the entire Central Plains, is the Zheng family's sphere of influence, eighteen counties in Henan County, of which the county orders or county officials of thirteen counties are either the children of the Zheng family in Xingyang, or the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Zheng family, which shows the huge power of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
This time, Chen Ying appeased Henan and became the number one military governor of Henan County, Xingyang Zheng naturally co-opted if he could, looking at Du Shanguo from time to time to look at Chen Ying, Chen Ying understood, and said to Zheng Anchun: "The people of Henan are still so poor, I come to appease Henan on behalf of the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, and I can't enjoy happiness alone." I won't live in this house. I was born in the military, and I am used to living in the barracks, and although the city is prosperous, I really can't get used to it. You have a convenient place in the city, just find me a sturdy house. Just sleep tonight, and tomorrow I have to go out of the city, and now that I have come here, I have to find a way to get the fathers and brothers in Henan out of poverty, and I really feel bad when I see them now. β
When Zheng Anchun heard this, he was very surprised.
Chen Ying is from Hou Mo Chen's family, although Hou Mo Chen has long since declined, but it is undeniable that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Xin'an Zheng family courtyard is good, but Zheng Anchun is still worried that Chen Ying will not look down on this house, after all, Chen Ying was born in Chang'an, grew up in Chang'an, and was born in the Damen Valve family, so he must not get tired of eating.
However, I didn't think that Chen Ying actually refused to stay in the Zheng family's hospital. Zheng Anchun is also a character who is good at observing words and colors, and he understands Chen Ying's intentions after a little thought. He pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Chen Anfu came to Henan, Zheng, as the landlord of Henan, if he is not suitable for the landlord, how can he be hospitable?" β
Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zheng is wrong. β
Zheng Anchun was stunned.
Chen Ying continued: "Henan here is not Zheng's, Henan is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called shore of the land is not the king's land, and the minister of the land is not the king's minister, does the Zheng family still want to tear the soil and claim the king?" Steward Zheng can't eat this meal, and he can't talk nonsense, if he talks too much, he says something wrong, it's all your Zheng family that causes trouble. β
Chen Ying's words are soft and hard, and the threat is very obvious.
If Zheng Anchun couldn't hear Chen Ying's subconscious meaning, then he would have lived in vain all these years. Zheng Anchun bowed and said: "An Chun is taught!" β
Chen Ying was actually very dissatisfied with Zheng's approach at this time. Because the Xingyang Zheng family was too greedy, after preliminary investigation, only in the eighteen counties of Henan County, the Xingyang Zheng family controlled more than 14,000 percent of the fertile land, and almost one-third of the entire Henan County was the private property of the Zheng family.
This is actually nothing, after all, it is not without landlords who have 100,000, 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of good land, but the appearance of Xingyang Zheng's food is too ugly. Last year, Wang Shichong conscripted troops, and beyond this opportunity, the Zheng clan in Xingyang colluded with local officials to squeeze the people, lower the price of land, or lend usury, or take it by force, or seize it by force, and in just half a year, more than 8,000 pieces of fertile land were eaten into their mouths.
For some people, the people who have died are unknown.
Chen Ying took a turn around Xin'an County and found that in the entire county, except for Zheng's house, there was not even a decent house, only to lead the personal guard troops, together with the soldiers of the Modao Army, outside the city of Xin'an County, with his back to the Jianhe River, and set up a large camp, Chen Ying placed the line of the Tang Henan pacification envoy in the camp.
In the evening, Xu Jingzong came in a hurry, saw Chen Ying, and asked with a worried face: "The general is going to make a move against the Zheng family in Xingyang?" β
Chen Ying was slightly stunned: "Why do you think like this?" β
Xu Jingzong said seriously: "The general doesn't care what Jingzong thinks, the key is whether the general really attacked the Zheng family in Xingyang?" β
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Is there a problem?" β
Seeing Chen Ying's attitude, Xu Jingzong knew Chen Ying's attitude.
Xu Jingzong's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he suddenly stood up, his face flushed with excitement, and said: "Don't forget, you must not forget, the crown princess is also the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, if you openly deal with the Zheng family, what will the crown princess think?" β
Xu Jingzong also poured cold water on him, but he didn't expect Chen Ying to categorically reject his kindness.
Xu Jingzong and Chen Ying are now both prosperous, and they are worried: "What should I do if the crown princess hates the general?" β
PS: When you're young, it's a tragedy, and there are constant physical problems, and today's update is a little late, and there will be more.
