As a representative of the civilian-bureaucratic lineage, Zuo Prime Minister Kwon Yun hopes to use gentle means to slowly advance in the management of internal affairs, and drastic measures may be able to achieve a momentary speed, but the bloodshed, chaos and dispersion of people's hearts that follow are more nerve-wracking in his opinion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt is normal for the old bureaucratic gentry system in Zhengyang to be resistant to the new Ming Deal, because under the Ming New Deal, their old privileges will be weakened little by little or even exhausted.

Zhengyang County is a grain producing area, which is why he is valued by all dynasties. However, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the gentry and magnates of Zhengyang occupy six to seventy percent of Zhengyang's land resources. The real yeoman farmers are only 30 percent. A large number of land concealments, hidden households, etc., greatly affected the tax revenue of the imperial court. What's more, here, the people only know their masters, but not the imperial court. The decrees of the imperial court are not worth a word from the gentry here.

Zhengyang County is similar to Shayang County in the past, and it is basically controlled by the powerful people. The difference is that after Shayang County took refuge in Qin Feng under the leadership of Old Lady Liu, in the next few years, Qin Feng took the land from the hands of the powerful little by little by different means, remeasured the land, and counted the population, even in the original Shayang County, it was also hindered a lot, let alone Zhengyang County today.

At the beginning, Shayang County automatically took refuge in Qin Feng, but now Zhengyang County is a helpless move under the pressure of form, and their resistance to the new decree of the imperial court can naturally be imagined.

Zhengyang County is too important, and Qin Feng can't afford not to pay attention to this place. But if you want to get to the root of the problem, you have many difficulties, and you are ruthless, and now you are out of the name, and you will implement gentle changes according to Quan Yun's ideas, and eat away at the power of the old gentry in Zhengyang little by little, but in Qin Feng's opinion, it is too slow.

Time is running out, seize the day. Now that the situation on the mainland is tense, and the peace that has lasted for many years has been broken, all countries are gearing up to show their strengths, and even the poorest Qin State, after the Deng clan came to power, has also changed its previous policy of relying on self-defense and is ready to expand outward.

Qianyue's comprehensive strength was the weakest among all the nations, and after Qin Feng took it down, it was impossible for him to become a strong country in a short period of time. is like a big ship leaking everywhere, no matter how diligent Qin Feng is, he can only tinker with it first, fill these loopholes one by one, and then talk about bringing him back to life, changing his appearance, and riding the wind and waves.

Now Zhengyang County has become a hard bone, making Qin Feng in a dilemma.

And a few days later, Qianmian's return from Zhengyang County made Qin Feng furious.

Qin Feng, who had a gloomy face, stood in front of the window, looking at the snow outside the window that had gradually melted, silent, and behind him, Guo Jiuling and Qianmian also had extremely serious faces.

The problem in Zhengyang County was much more serious than Qin Feng expected.

"Winter is over, spring has come!" Qin Feng suddenly sneered: "Everything is revived and full of vitality, but some things that shouldn't grow have actually grown, do you really think that the knife in my Qin Feng's hand doesn't dare to kill?" ”

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked back, walked back to the big case, picked up the detailed recital about Zhengyang written by Qian Mian again, and read it carefully.

"Father-in-law Le, Xuan Quanyun, Wang Hou, and Huo Guang entered the palace." Qin Feng commanded.

"Yes!" Father-in-law Le hurriedly walked out, but Qin Feng leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes and was silent.

After a long time, Qin Feng reopened his eyes, glanced at Guo Jiuling and Qianmian in front of him, and waved, "You two, sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Jiuling nodded, and sat down with Qianmian and the two of them.

"The Condor cultivation plan seems to be good at the moment. But this person should not be used lightly, and if he does not take risks until the critical moment, the more he does, the easier it will be to show his tail and be caught. We have spent so much effort, but not just for a Murong Hong, a person who doesn't know the so-called Yan Kingdom. Qin Feng looked at Guo Jiuling and said.

"Your Majesty, this incident is too appalling, our front-line general, actually colluded with the rebels, fortunately, such a thing fell into the hands of our people, which allowed us to get the news, otherwise after a long time, when something really broke out, we were afraid that we would be caught off guard. The Condor also knew the importance of this matter, so he ventured out to send a signal to contact our people in Zhengyang County. Guo Jiuling said.

"Is that contact still in Zhengyang?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes. Now the Condor is still in Zhengyang County, which is the only communication channel he knows. ”

"Transfer the man back to the Eagle's Nest headquarters." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "Next, Qianmian will contact him personally, and there will be no need to use this person for ordinary matters." What he has to do now is to make meritorious contributions on the side of the barbarians, get promoted, master more resources, and occupy a higher position, so that he will play a greater role in the future. ”

"Understood, I will go back to Zhengyang County next and explain His Majesty's will to him." A thousand faces.

"Through this time, it can also be seen that the Eagle's Nest made a mistake in intelligence collection, Li Wei and others actually used the army to smuggle food, steel, and weapons to the barbarians, Jiang Haokun and others, if it wasn't for the Divine Eagle to find out, I don't know how long it would have been hidden, this matter, the Eagle's Nest should reflect on it." Qin Feng tapped his fingers on the table, and his tone was a little stern.

"The minister is panicking, the eagle's nest has begun to re-arrange." Guo Jiuling's face was slightly red, "This time we were careless, we never thought that the problem was with our own army." Your Majesty, the Eagle's Nest was born from the army, and has a deep affection for the army, and before, our Eagle's Nest basically did not monitor the army, this incident sounded the alarm for us, the army will not have an accident, and it will break the sky as soon as something happens. We must not only hope for the loyalty and personal character of the generals, but must have a complete plan that will keep us informed of the movements of the army, and hope that His Majesty will approve us to set up a special department of this kind. ”

Although there is a military department, but the army of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, only obeys the orders of one person, this is Qin Feng, and Qin Feng also grasps the military power quite tightly, Qin Feng, who was born in the army, has feelings for his subordinates, Guo Jiuling and Qianmian both know that Qin Feng was against setting up personnel in the army to monitor the movement of generals, which is why Guo Jiuling is especially clear to Qin Feng.

It's a big deal. Qin Feng frowned and pondered for a long time before nodding lightly, "It's okay to set up personnel, let's do it in the name of the Military Intelligence Department, these personnel will be responsible for the collection of military intelligence in the future, but they are only allowed to investigate and report information, and are not allowed to interfere in military operations." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guo Jiuling nodded.

Father-in-law Le was like a cat, silently entered the study, and behind him, followed by Zuo Xiangquanyun, Wang Hou, the secretary of the ministry, and Huo Guang, the secretary of the military department.

Qin Feng didn't speak either, and threw the investigation report of Qianmian to Quan Yun.

After browsing it in a hurry, Quan Yun's face changed slightly, and he silently handed the report to Wang Hou beside him, Wang Hou frowned after reading it, and passed it to Huo Guang.

"Shousuke, the gentle change you imagined, I'm afraid it won't work." Qin Feng said with a sneer.

Quan Yun's face was very ugly, "Crazy things, for their own selfish interests, are so bold and reckless." ”

Huo Guang was furious: "Your Majesty, what are you hesitating about, you should clean them up immediately, so as not to cause a big deal in the future." ”

"It's not that simple!" Qin Feng shook his head: "Zhengyang County is now stationed with 15,000 soldiers, but these 15,000 people are all Zhengyang soldiers, among which Li Weige Township each has a 5,000-person war camp, and there are also 5,000 county soldiers. It's not easy to move them. ”

"Your Majesty is right, judging from the situation that has been exposed now, the imperial court lacks the necessary control over Zhengyang's army, and if you want to clean them up, you must mobilize the army, and if the army moves, no secrets can be hidden, in case they break out, lead the troops to rebel, and join forces with the barbarians, Jiang Haokun, then Zhengyang County will be defeated." Quan Yun shook his head and said: "Military suppression, this is the next policy, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"Military repression is only a last resort, and it really cannot be used until there is a complete solution." Wang Hou also nodded.

Huo Guang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, we have been besieging the four counties of the Northland for half a year, and the Ministry of War can hold a meeting to convene the generals of the surrounding armies of the four counties of the Northland to discuss matters in Beijing, so that they can be brought to the capital, and at that time, it is just a matter that can be solved by a few guards." ”

"Is that easy?" Quan Yun shook his head again and again: "Huo Shangshu, what if they don't come with excuses?" Or what if they only come to one of them? Or maybe their own people are here, but they have already made the corresponding arrangements, can we just arrest people? What if someone is arrested, and there is still chaos over there? Rat-throwing bogey! ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you just watch them lawless?" Huo Guang said angrily.

Qin Feng, who had been quietly listening to the discussion of several courtiers, finally opened his mouth.

"The matter of Zhengyang County is not only related to this case, but also the reform of the administration of officials, as well as the promotion of the new currency, I discussed this matter with the left minister before, and the left minister suggested a moderate reform, but now it seems that it will not work. But that's fine, we can take care of everything and solve it all at once. Zhengyang County needs to change the sky, and the old things should be swept into the garbage heap of history. Merge the affairs of Zhengyang County with the affairs of the barbarians and Jiang Haokun to deal with them. ”
