Chapter 312: The Butcher's Knife (Part II)
Why does Wang Ju have a standard of three catties of meat a month?
In fact, this is the standard of treatment of the Baojie army in the past. If you can really eat three catties of meat in a month, then that's fine, Guan Jian is greedy for ink, and the soldiers can eat in their mouths, I'm afraid there is not a catty of meat. Therefore, Wang Juyi went to Huachi County and immediately provided food subsidies. Can my body grow well without eating meat? Can you have the strength to hold the bow and arrow?
There were many machine guns in the Song Dynasty, such as Yao Yu, and later when he was in Liyuan Fort, he kept shooting at the Tangut people in the fort, and he alone shot hundreds of Xixia soldiers, constantly pulling bows and arrows, and bleeding from his fingers!
But Yao Ji is not as powerful as Liu Sunchen.
After the defeat of the summer, Liu Sunsin's palace, tens of thousands of enemy troops pursued, there were seven people first, Liu Sunchen said, this must be the enemy especially the one who can fight, that is, the most capable person in the enemy army, so if you don't kill it first, our army will be exhausted, and then declare, I will make the first one to arrange flowers between the eyebrows. The three arrows made the eyebrows of the three generals in front bloom, and the remaining four people switched their horses and ran. It's very similar, right, yes, very similar to Xue Rengui's Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain. However, his troops were too small, and 10,000 enemy troops came again, so Liu Sunchen shot a thousand arrows from Shen Shi to Youshi, that is, from three o'clock in the afternoon, to five o'clock in the afternoon, but it would not exceed three hours, and he shot a thousand arrows. Finger split, blood flowing to the elbow. When it gets dark, you have to go beyond the pass. The Western Xia will take away the morale and dare not repeat the war.
and Wang Ju shot ten arrows in a row in one breath, and the soldiers were convinced.
Wang Ju is not a machine gun, Yao Ji is only a medium machine gun, and Liu Sunchen is a super machine gun.
These require extremely strong arm strength and body support.
Of course, that battle was long over.
But now that these sergeants are here, Wang Ju has no subsidies. So the commanders of the battalions were called to admonish, first of all, you are not a forbidden army, you are all people of Shaanxi, and in the future, you can all get a piece of high-quality land, and you will share more, and future generations may be neighbors, so you can no longer be greedy. Secondly, the sooner the construction is completed, you and your families will benefit as soon as possible, and if there is a dispute, the official will not spare it, and it is you, all of you, who will suffer. and then ordered three times not to deduct the greedy ink.
And Wang Ju often finds time to inspect.
For the time being, it should be done better.
There are mainly heads, either from large households, they don't care, but the money will not be hot, if the investigation is loose, you dare to be greedy, and if you check it tightly, there is no need to be greedy.
Therefore, the sergeants are a group, and then the prisoners of war and the common people are a group, and they are also modeled on the barracks, with 500 people forming a battalion, and then a few people are sent to cook, and then everyone elects a team leader, who transmits orders and manages everyone, and at the same time there are some officials and officials patrolling and cooperating with supervision.
But here's the problem.
Meat!
Three catties of meat per month, six times distributed, half a catty per person. But it is impossible to use the scale to everyone after stewing, or a rough estimate, a pound of meat cut into six pieces, stewed in a large pot, three pieces per person.
Don't underestimate these three pieces of meat, one Song Jin is close to six hundred grams, and one piece of meat is close to two taels.
That's the real big cut.
And in order not to cuò on a business trip, the meat distributed to the sergeants and people of each battalion was put twenty or thirty catties. It's not that standard, but a piece of meat should have at least 170 grams or more.
But now the meat seen by a few people has shrunk by almost half.
It's not that it's not cut standardly, it's that all the meat is so small.
Wang Ju said: "Immediately ride to the camps, stop the construction, stop the supply of food, and check this meat." By the way, send someone to weigh five catties of meat, cut it into a standard point, cut it into 30 pieces and stew it tightly, and use these 30 pieces of meat to compare its size. ”
There are still two meals a day on the construction site, this is dinner, anyway, it is close to dusk, let everyone rest in advance, and the various officials will immediately block the kitchens of each battalion. Even Wang Ju also transferred five battalions of the Baojie Army nearby to cooperate with the officials.
This is also thanks to Wang Ju himself, because of the battle of Dashun City, he got a large number of war horses, Cai Ting didn't dare to accept them all, but he insisted that he couldn't put them in the pastoral prison to raise, and those that were not well raised must be handed over to each cavalry battalion, and at the same time, some war horses were also allocated to each Baojie army.
Regarding this horse, the strategy that Wang Ju wrote in the imperial examination is also in the Chinese book. It makes more sense, although Han Qi did not transfer the horse from the pastoral supervisor to the barracks, but he also adopted Cai Tingjian.
Including the various battalions that came to the construction of Baojie, there are also some war horses.
Therefore, with the cooperation of the cavalry of the Baojie army, almost all the battalions on Xiao Zhengquan's side were blockaded together, and a thorough investigation began.
It was getting dark, and the results of the inventory were reported.
A total of 21 battalions have problems ranging from light to heavy, and eight of them have particularly severe problems, and some of them can deduct more than two-thirds of the weight.
"Check again, who deducted it. If there is no problem, you can eat and rest, and if there is a problem, explain it to the villagers. ”
This is not a clever corruption case, and the results are quickly detected.
A total of seven servants, nine team leaders, and sixteen cooks participated in the deduction.
"Catch it together, and then let the villagers have dinner."
In a moment the soldiers rode and captured the thirty-two men.
Wang Ju looked at the thirty-two people coldly and said, "You moths, do you know where the money comes from?" It's the inner treasury money allocated by the emperor! In order to save this money, the emperor is reluctant to eat meat, reluctant to wear silk clothes, the dragon clothes are all linen clothes, you dare to be greedy for this money, come to people, first flogging, each person fifty lashes, and then interrogation. ”
After being beaten one by one, Wang Ju was retried and quickly asked for the result.
No one on Wang Ju's side dared to stretch out his black hand, and the battle of Dashun City also made these people a little afraid, and when Wang Ju was fine, he rode around and looked around, and these people were also afraid of being discovered. However, Yang Panai is a real civil official, and now the construction site is divided into two parts, and the construction has been under construction for more than ten days, and Wang Ju has not come to see it once.
A few officials who were responsible for the offerings became bold and colluded with more than a dozen team leaders, and only then did they start to deduct less at a time, but no one found out, and even the people did not talk about it, so they became more courageous, and this time they were much stronger.
But it's not excessive, but they deducted it above, and the team leaders below have become more emboldened, following the bad guys to learn from the bad guys, and then to the guy's side, and then to the guy's side, and deduct it again. Even when the officials and soldiers were checking, there was still a lot of raw meat behind the house that had not been processed in time.
It was not only meat that was withheld, but also a small amount of food and other supplies.
That is, there are more than these 32 people involved, and there are actually as many as 59 people.
Yang Pan's face immediately darkened, there was no problem on Wang Ju's side, but there was a problem on his side, and he dared to be a good person and bullied him.
"Catch them all," Wang Ju shouted again.
The officials lit the torches.
After a while, the remaining twenty-seven people were brought.
Wang Ju continued to interrogate.
Soon a thick pile of confessions was obtained, and the verdict was immediate. Thirty-five of the lesser offenders were given 100 lashes and were executed on the spot.
The remaining twenty-four people saw that it was not good, and knelt down together and shouted for mercy.
"Shout again, slap your mouth."
A Xu official didn't hear clearly, and continued to shout, Wang Junu smacked his mouth, and the wild dragon Baa Sheng walked over to two big-eared scrapers, almost knocking out the man's teeth.
This is even worse, twenty-four people stood trembling and trembling, and all those who dared began to pee their pants.
After the fight, Wang Ju said: "Send someone to carry them home immediately, but it is recorded in the book, and this drain worker will not bother them in the future, but the drain worker will repair it, and they are not allowed to use a drop of water from the white canal." If there is a field on the edge of a canal, immediately move the acres of land to a higher place, and leave them to fend for themselves. ”
Yang Pan said: "Is this too ruthless? ”
Wang Ju lowered his voice and said, "Yang Gou, really they can't even use the canal water?" After the completion of Zhengbaiqu, how many of these families can really not use the water of Zhengbaiqu? ”
Although there are many people, they are all people in the radiation range of Zheng Baiqu, and they do not benefit, and they are doing such a long period of unpaid labor, who is convinced?
"That ......"
"Scared, although some compensation will be made to the people who serve in the future, but now the canal has not been repaired, it is still the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the water, and the people see not the fertile land, but the hard work at the moment. Now these people are greedy for ink, and they have been flogged a hundred times, and then they are expelled back, and even labor is saved, so what will everyone think in their hearts? Of course, if it is recorded, they will not be given a single centimeter of land in the future. ”
"I see." Yang Pan understood and acquiesced, otherwise if they didn't touch a drop of canal water, it would force people's lives.
Wang Ju ordered Sergeant Baojie to carry the men down.
Because of the battle of Dashun City, Wang Ju was very cordial among these Baojie troops, and more than ninety percent of the sergeants admired Wang Ju very much. This is Wang Ju's advantage, this construction site can almost be regarded as Wang Ju's home field.
Wang Ju continued to look at the remaining twenty-four people, these people stretched out their hands very long, Wang Ju sentenced again, a total of eighteen people were sentenced to the prison city, and it was the prison city of Gyeongju for five hundred miles.
The eighteen people were stunned and continued to beg for mercy, and Wang Ju shouted: "Drag it down, immediately cut the word, detain it, and send it away tomorrow." ”
Also, the six officials, their faces were gray at this time, and they were the most greedy.
Yang Pan sighed, thinking to himself, Shamen Island is not easy to survive, thinking that Wang Ju is going to send these six people to Shamen Island, who knows that Wang Ju suddenly shouted: "Pull it out, all of them will be beheaded to show the public." ”
"Wang Zi'an, what's wrong, even if you abandon the city, you can't ask for it until after the autumn."
"Yang Gou, there are 50,000 laborers, more than 20,000 soldiers, and 5,000 Western Xia prisoners of war, it seems to be a construction site, but it is actually a battlefield, a big gunpowder bag, if you don't get it right, it will explode, and something big will happen. Therefore, governing the river should be like governing the army, and it can no longer be dealt with according to ordinary law, and it should be dealt with according to military law. Come, cut them down. ”
Really chopped, not only chopped, but also hung six heads on the flagpole.
"Love the people, love the ghost people, butcher," Li Yuanwai said bitterly as he looked at the other squires.
Don't look at the fact that they donated some food, it is really not worth a few dollars, just like Li Yuanwai's 100 stone millet, if in normal times, it is only more than 70 yuan, which is not enough for the cost of a slightly extravagant banquet.
The donation of grain is fake, and the temptation of the king's huge mouth is true.
But what is Wang Ju's answer, the official will give everyone an explanation at that time, an explanation to all the people, and an explanation to the imperial court. This is all Shenma's reply? If you give them an explanation, you can't give an account to the people, and if you give the people an explanation, you can't give an account to the court. Can you explain it together?
So these squires have been thinking about countermeasures all day long.
Then the news came, six bloody heads, stunned them together.
"Li Yuanwai, don't be afraid, several officials love the people, so they often abandon the prisoners in the city, and they must be allowed by the imperial court, and even the official family can only get through guò. Why do you want to ask after the autumn, the king has four politics, celebration, reward, punishment, and punishment, corresponding to spring, summer, autumn and winter. Autumn and winter are the seasons when the earth begins to be punished, in order to show that it is the season to punish the heavens. In addition, it is also the season to appeal to the people after the autumn to prevent the occurrence of unjust and wrongful cases. Therefore, I have made it clear in the law that from the beginning of spring to the autumn equinox, no other crime shall be executed in the spring except for the crime of rebellion and the murder of the master by a wicked servant or a slave. Are those servants wicked servants, and are they guilty of rebellion? Isn't it a private crime, greedy for a few small money, where is the wickedness? ”
"Yes, let their families go to the capital to sue the royal court."
More than a dozen people immediately rejoiced, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
When they had said the same, the diner sitting next to them suddenly whistled.
The squires didn't pay attention either, and were about to get up and leave the restaurant, when the diner said, "Don't worry, my eldest man has an invite." ”
"You are, you're the second eldest ......?" A squire recognized.
"The second chief?" One of the people on the side asked.
There was no need for the squire to answer, a team of Baojie soldiers dressed as civilians broke in, dragged all the dozen people down, and pulled them to Jingyang County Ya, Wang Juduan sat in the public court, asked what happened, and said viciously: "In order to make the people of Guanzhong live better, the official family has reduced food and clothing to rebuild Zhengbai Canal, and you, as the squires everywhere, have benefited the most. and each of them shall be given a hundred rods. And remember, this is the first offense, and the next time you commit it, those six heads will be your fate! ”
But these people are all people with heads and faces, and the officials dare not beat them hard.
Wang Ju said again: "Second eldest son, call them in the autumn capital, and they will carry out the punishment on their behalf, and beat them again, not counting the beatings just now, and that person, he dares to talk back and slap his mouth ten times." ”
Qiudu had a hundred subordinates, they were the Baojie army from Qianzhou, and they had nothing to do with Jingyang, so they fought so hard, as a result, more than a dozen people couldn't even stand and were carried out again.
Hou Ke turned out from behind the yatang and said, "Wang Zi'an, how will you let the old man govern Jingyang in the future?" ”
"Hou Zhixian, Zheng Baiqucheng, can you still stay in Jingyang?"
With this skill, he was also promoted.
"It's too heavy, it's too heavy."
"As the old saying goes, in troubled times, you must use heavy codes, and Zheng Baiqu involves a lot, so you must also use heavy codes. The day before yesterday, I also wrote in the song, explaining the reason to His Majesty. And Hou Zhixian, I killed six people, how did the people below react? ”
This is the greed of Haoqiang.
For example, the country's pastoral supervisors, no matter whether the pastoral supervisors are good or bad, but the starting point is not bad, but most of the pastoral supervisors were occupied by Haoqiang, as well as the Yingtian Tuntian of the Song Dynasty.
This is a bit controversial, continue to occupy, Futian, what is Futian, it is the field of the temple, this can be understood, anyway, more than ninety percent of the monks in the Song Dynasty are lazy masters, everyone is not afraid of the Buddha's blame, then occupy it, bite it.
Come on, Gakuda. What is the field of learning, this is the field of learning from the counties and the state, and the place where they educate their children to become successful, and they actually stretch out their greedy hands to encroach on it. In the end, brothers should also occupy each other, and many lawsuits in the field cannot be judged for three or five years.
Not only occupy the land, but also occupy the water, dispose of the pond at a high level, or set up embankments, store or fence the water, the poor people will look at the water and sigh, but in the flood season, often because these projects are not up to standard, they will be washed away at once, and they will be flooded everywhere.
This is not excessive, and some Haoqiang actually took advantage of the flood season to send people to dig the embankment, so that hundreds of families lost their crops.
But didn't the Song government care? Tube, the same as a capital crime, is to catch one and kill another.
But why can't you control it, and look at Han Yi's instructions to Xiang Minzhong's descendants, the fields, the source of food and clothing, can only be bought, not sold. Han Lu, the top official family in the world, Lu is the Lu family of Lu Mengzheng and Lu Yijian, and Han is the Han family of Han Yi. They take the lead, can they carry it out?
Encroach on it, encroach on it, don't hide it, isn't this concealment uncomfortable? Fortunately, Zhao Zhen checked it, otherwise the consequences would be stricter.
Therefore, the invasion is more of a headache than the construction itself.
The imperial court wanted to re-Zheng Baiqu, Yang Pan and Hou Ke came to the construction site first, and everyone was still waiting and watching, and there was no action. It wasn't until Wang Ju came that the order to recruit soldiers and people was also issued. Haoqiang acted.
The barren mountain carries three or four peach trees, and a big sign is hung on it, this is the mountain of the Zhao family, with a hundred acres of land. It doesn't matter if it can be irrigated or not, let's take it first.
The western piece of wasteland, sprinkled with a few sorghums, this is the land of the Qian family, with 200 acres of land.
Originally, the construction of Zheng Baiqu was not for profit, but for food, whether it was the Zhao family, the Li family or the Qian family, as long as the grain was grown.
However, this circle is out of the spectrum, and if it continues to develop, it will be 11% occupied by the circle in advance. Why is it still more than 100 percent, because some of them can't be irrigated at all, and they are also encircled.
This is a headache by Zhao Ji, Guan Jian occupies this one, how to settle the 40,000 sergeants promised by Wang Ju? How to deal with the subsidies of tens of thousands of people?
So Wang Ju said to Hou Ke, I will also kill people.
Of course, at this time, sending people down to measure and persuade would have a little effect, but the actions of these people angered Wang Ju, so he chose the most severe response plan.
But on the surface, except for the Lubu order issued by Wang Ju, there was no movement.
If there is really no movement, Guan Jian Wang Ju will collect the field books of each county together, and in addition, the soldiers of the battalion guarding the Western Xia prisoners of war in addition to guarding the prisoners of war, Wang Ju let them learn some arithmetic, and then learn how to cultivate the fields.
These Haoqiang are not fools, Wang Ju did this, they vaguely guessed Wang Ju's intentions, so these Haoqiang continued to occupy the circle, causing the established facts, and watched Wang Ju's movements. The most urgent is the Haoqiang of Jingyang, Yunyang, and Gaoling counties, why, they belong to the first batch of projects here, and they will benefit after the autumn, and it is time to settle the fields. Of course, ordinary landlords can't get involved, but some of the top heroes began to jump up and down, including Li Yuanwai, there are about 20 families.
It will be the biggest headache for several officials, and when it comes to this annexation and encroachment, everyone will have a headache, even Bao Zheng will have a headache, and he will flee back to the capital in fear, no matter what! R1152
