Thinking like this, Xue Guo looked at Zhang Dingguo's demeanor even more kindly, and even changed his attitude towards Zhang Xianzhong. This made Zhang Xianzhong very surprised, and at the same time, he was even more precious to his own righteous son!

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, told in his letter about how many thieves would surrender and how much there would be a shortage of food. After Xue Guoguan estimated it in his heart, he began to inspect various places from south to north.

Everywhere he went, Xue Guoguan asked Jinyiwei, who was one step ahead, to collect information about the local gentry to him, roughly estimate how much surplus food the local squires had, and then order donations. First of all, I persuaded them with good words, donating to the victims is actually donating to themselves, otherwise the victims will not have food, and the local gentry will suffer if they make trouble.

If he doesn't listen to such good words, then he will send Zhang Xianzhong to take his subordinates to go through old accounts. It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the later period, the gentry were in arrears of taxes and servitude were the most common, almost every gentry would be in arrears, and the annual arrears of taxes added up to a huge amount of money, according to the past practice, these will be in the end of the end. This is also the reason why although the late Ming Dynasty was rich, the treasury income was very small.

This kind of tax arrears of the local gentry are difficult to recover by relying on the local government. But with Zhang Xianzhong and his men, the situation is completely different. As Emperor Chongzhen expected, Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates, no matter what relationship you have with this squire and what face you have, they only listen to Xue Guoguan alone. And an army is not something that the local squire can contend with.

As for Xue Guoguan himself, in his original history, he dared to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen donate silver taels to the imperial relatives and civil and military officials in Jingshi, but now under the bottom line given by the emperor, how could he care if these local squires were dissatisfied!

For the obedient county government, Xue Guoguan did not treat them badly, and would first dispatch surrendered thieves to organize large-scale projects, such as building water conservancy, building roads and bridges, and other things that rebelled against the local area.

This kind of thing was naturally warmly welcomed by the local people, and the only ones who were unhappy were those squires who were chased and reinstated.

Of course, those squires were also unwilling to be chased and taxed like this, but they couldn't help Xue Guoguan, so they found someone to hand the impeachment chapter to Jingshi. However, Xue Guoguan is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and it is not something that ordinary people can impeach. The most important thing is that the ground in Shanxi has a power in the imperial court, and it has already been a turn when the Jin merchants were liquidated before, and there is basically no power.

Moreover, this action is actually a decision of the emperor and the cabinet, and on the premise that the problem of surrendering thieves must be solved, impeachment will naturally not be of any use. Even Emperor Chongzhen decreed that whoever impeached Xue Guoguan should be recorded one by one, and then handed over the impeachment chapter to Xue Guoguan himself for self-examination. If it is slander, at least the official who impeached the official should not do it.

This kind of thing may be more difficult to carry out in other provinces. But in Shanxi, it can be vigorously unfolded. I have to say that thieves have disadvantages, but they also have the side of exploitation.

Emperor Chongzhen was in the chat group, and after getting a detailed report from Zhang Dingguo, he felt a lot more relieved. At least in this way, the placement of so many thieves, for the time being, at least there will be no problem. But in the long run, there has to be another way out. And this way out is to seize the Hetao Plain and resettle the victims of Qin and Jin to go there, which is the ultimate solution.

Emperor Chongzhen first put down the matter of Jindi, and instead contacted Wei Mulan and asked her about the situation: "How is the situation over there?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng personally led 832 horsemen into the land of Liaodong, and it has been four days. He was a little worried, so he often asked, anyway, it was just a consuming achievement point, and it didn't cost anything.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine." Wei Mulan immediately replied, "Liaodong is not like the land of Gyeonggi, it is sparsely populated, and there are basically no people in the wilderness. Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng sent the Jurchens to explore the way in front of them in Jianyu costumes, even if they met someone, they could avoid it, it's okay! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little relieved and said, "Okay, how are you, can you persevere?" ”

When Wei Mulan heard this, her heart suddenly warmed, and the emperor was concerned about herself, so she immediately replied: "The subordinates are fine, they just ride horses, and they don't need to fight, their subordinates are used to it!" And Lu Zhongcheng also takes good care of his subordinates, often rests, and is not tired! ”

Teenage girls are still in school if they want to be replaced by the next generation. Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, so he cared and encouraged a few words.

"Your Majesty, at the current rate, there are still about ten days to go from Shenyang." Wei Mulan's heart was warm, and she didn't want the emperor to bother anymore, so she told her the truth.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he really diverted his attention and immediately replied: "Okay, you move forward carefully, I will try my best to get detailed information for you." ”

Speaking of this, he immediately chatted with Qian Fugui privately and said: "I want to see how Shenyang is, you go to a high place and take a panoramic view of Shenyang for me." ”

After finishing speaking, he rewarded Qian Fugui with a thousand achievements worth the past. When Qian Fugui heard this, he was overjoyed, this photo function, like everyone else, he also wanted to try it very much, but he suffered from no achievement value. Therefore, when he heard this, he immediately agreed. However, you can't shoot right away, so you need to find the right opportunity.

"I'm very interested in Shenyang, if you shoot well, I'll give you more achievement points when I go back, let you shoot more places, and when there is a video recording function in the future, I will also let you try it." Emperor Chongzhen continued to tempt.

Something new, and for those who see it for the first time, it has an unbeatable appeal. This point, when Emperor Chongzhen was very young, when TV sets first became popular, it was a rare experience to watch commercials, and he had quite a lot of experience.

Qian Fugui hurriedly agreed, and seeing that the group owner had no other instructions, he withdrew from the chat group and began to write again.

He used to be a businessman, and he knew a little bit of writing, but after he joined the chat group, he knew all those words, so writing was no longer a problem for him.

I saw that in front of him, there were already several large sheets written, all of which were briefly one by one, one, two, three, four, or something. If Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he would know that the note he wrote was the news of the domestic situation in the Ming Kingdom revealed by the group chat.

Qian Fugui put down the brush, looked at the letter with appreciation, and finally folded it with a smile and stuffed it into the envelope. He is now getting more and more powerful in the Hauge Mansion, and he relies on this: write down the news in the group to Hauge, although most of these news are daily chores, but Hauge said that after he gave Huang Taiji a message, he still received praise.

If Hauge is praised, he will be reused by Hauge. Therefore, what he is most afraid of is that the group leader will kick him out of the group!
