The more Lu Gengyu spoke, the more excited he became, and he got up and stood up--everyone saw that one foot was high and the other was low, a real lame man--accused: "In the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, from the prefect to the prefectures and counties, as long as the officials heard the name of the Qiongzhou battalion, they were all afraid of it like a tiger and avoided it, and the ordinary people only knew General Lin Gaoxia, and they didn't know the current saint. Shouldn't Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info such a lawless and disruptive traitor be eradicated? I, Lu Huayu, is a small county magistrate, and the official can't help him, and after resigning, he is just a cloth coat, and there is no way to sue, but the anger of the husband can also be splattered with blood in five steps, as long as he can take his life, he will not hesitate to pay for my life. ”

Sun Yuanhua listened to Lu Gengyu's statement, and couldn't help asking: "Even if you have a reason to break the city and break your legs, you can't resign from your official position and give up everything to find General Xia's jade burned?" The imperial court appointed you as a parent official, so that you could serve as an official for one term and benefit one party, but not for you to rely on the courage of a puppet to become a hero......"

Lu Gengyu replied hatefully: "I don't understand what Mr. Chuyang said. If it's just these things, maybe I can endure it, I can't afford to hide, and honestly persuade farmers to benefit the people. However, this traitor ordered people to mine the iron ore in Yayuling, and tempted him by high wages, and bewitched the people in the county to mine and smelt iron for him. The prefect of Qin was already dissatisfied with me, and now he has taken the opportunity to hand over the grain to reprimand me again and again, and the performance appraisal given to me is also inferior, even if I don't resign, I'm afraid this prefect won't be able to do it for long......"

So that's the case, Sun Yuanhua understood the real reason behind Lu Gengyu's seemingly ridiculous move. It doesn't matter if the county seat is breached, after all, Wei Lianheng did not retaliate after leading his troops into the city, and no one came to investigate the responsibility for the loss of Changhua County afterwards; Although the broken leg is annoying, it is caused by an accident after all, and it is not worth killing to vent anger; In addition, there was no way to file a complaint, and his colleagues and officials were afraid of the Qiongzhou camp, and in turn stopped his "righteous deeds", although these things were aggrieved, but they had no impact on the position of the county. What really made Lu Gengyu desperate was the relocation of the Qiongzhou industry, which shifted the focus of the steel plant to Changhua, took advantage of the geographical advantages of iron ore, mined iron nearby, recruited a large number of local people to work, affected the collection of taxes in the county, and finally directly lowered the performance appraisal of Changhua County, and the promotion came to naught, and even the position of the county may not be kept.

When Xia Nan heard this, his hatred for Lu Gengyu was slightly reduced, this is just an old-fashioned bureaucrat who has been impacted by the wave of industrialization, and his resentment of valuing agriculture and suppressing business is very strong, and his governing philosophy is still stuck in the stage of "farmers, mountain springs, and some fields", once it breaks away from the traditional ruling model for thousands of years, it is at a loss. Compared to Shimazu Chiyo, his assassination operation is very amateurish, and even if Shimazu Chiyo doesn't make a move, he should be able to guarantee his life without worry-is it possible that he is not able to outrun a cripple with his limbs?

Sima De next to him couldn't help but say, "You are really an elm head!" The people face the loess with their backs to the sky, work all day long, and can drop a few grains of rice in a year, and they still can't eat enough and don't have warm clothing. Now we are building a steel plant in Changhua, so that the local people can get wages, and the income is several times higher than in the past, isn't it for the benefit of the people? ”

Lu Gengyu stubbornly counterattacked: "The day when the iron ore is finally mined, it is impossible for the people to have wages for generations, and when there is no such work, the fields and acres will be abandoned again, how can the local people live?" ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded secretly, no matter whether Lu Gengyu's opinion was right or wrong, at least he was thinking about his black yarn hat and the future of the people, which was commendable. This man deserves to be saved.

Lin Weiye couldn't help but join the debate: "The soil in Changhua is seriously desertified, the land is barren, not fertile enough, and the salt content is large, so it is not suitable for growing food. If you ignore reality and insist that the people 'plough at sunrise and rest at sunset', you can only fall into a vicious circle of getting poorer and poorer and poorer. ”

Lu Gengyu was speechless when he heard this. The yield per acre of Changhua is indeed very low, far lower than that of the surrounding states and counties, and the successive governors of the counties have not been able to improve their performance because of the insufficient amount of grain paid, and they have changed like a marquee, but no one can solve this problem. Lu Gengyu didn't have a good way, after a few years in office, the annual summer tax and autumn grain were a ghost gate for him, and he couldn't complete the grain payment task.

Sun Yuanhua gently persuaded: "Your idea of persuading farmers and mulberries is right, and it is not wrong to want to pay the grain in full to serve the imperial court, but the fertility of the land in each state and county is different, and the yield per mu is high and low, so it cannot be generalized." If it is true that as Brother Lin said, the land in Changhua is barren and not suitable for farming, then earning wages to support yourself with your ability is also a way out. ”

Lu Gengyu said in a low voice: "But it's ...... to pay taxes."

Sima De snorted: "The wages of the steel mill are abundant, and the people have money to buy grain from the surrounding states and counties, and they can pay the discount. There is no provision for paying taxes only for grain, and it is still possible to pay full of silver and color. ”

Lu Gengyu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. At first glance, these people are deviant, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

Sun Yuanhua turned around and pleaded with Xia Nan: "General, Changhua Zhixian's actions today are just a moment of confusion, and the general is unscathed, the old man has the courage to intercede for him, and please spare his life." ”

Xia Nan didn't expect Sun Yuanhua to ask for mercy, so he didn't know whether to refuse or agree, and groaned.

Sima De said slowly: "If you let him go today, any cat or dog will have the courage to assassinate the general in the future - anyway, if you miss it, you won't have to worry about your life." ”

Sun Yuanhua retorted: "If you offend the general, you can kill it, then the prefect of Chengmai and the prefect of Qiongzhou can be killed." Killing officials is not good for the reputation of the general, and in the future, whether he is a pillar of the court or a leader in the world, he needs the support of the official class. Do you know the allusion of buying bones for a thousand dollars? ”

Xia Nan had to admit that what Sun Yuanhua said made sense. Since he was able to spare the Chengmai Zhixian who insulted him and sent troops to attack the prefect of Lingao, it seems that there is no problem in letting go of the former Changhua Zhixian. On the premise of not touching the core interests, letting go of these officials and marching into the inland in the future will be able to play a demonstration effect, and then the resistance and difficulty of winning them over will be much less -- after all, the route of the Qiongzhou camp is not a direct rebellion and claim to the king, and the officials of the imperial court have great use value.
