Chapter 072: Money Bag Is in Trouble
Qin Mu, who came out of the Ganzhou Mansion, was very injured, not only on his back, but also on his money bag.
Yang Tinglin is a more traditional civil official, the idea of loyalty is very heavy, what Qin Mu did this time has exceeded the duty of a minister, Yang Tinglin repeatedly asked Qin Mu in the back office if he wanted to rebel, it was by no means an ordinary angry talk, he really suspected that Qin Mu had such a mind.
Qin Mu tried his best to swear that he had no intention of rebelling, so that Yang Tinglin could believe that he was impulsive, of course, he just believed that it was impossible to completely eliminate the doubts in Yang Tinglin's heart with a few oaths.
In fact, Yang Tinglin "let's" believe that he was also forced to be helpless, in fact, Yang Tinglin didn't dare to force him too much;
At present, the two most powerful thousand households in Ganzhou are actually controlled by Qin Mu, needless to say, Qin Mu gave an order, Huo Sheng and thousands of men and horses are ready to attack Nanchang City, isn't this enough to explain the problem?
Another Xinfeng Thousand Households Thousand Households Meng Ke was brought over from Nanjing by Qin Mu, so naturally Qin Mu was the first to look at it, at least Yang Tinglin thought so.
If you really want to force Qin Mu to be in a hurry, the entire Ganzhou will change in an instant.
Yang Tinglin knew very well that from a military point of view, no one in Ganzhou could control Qin Mu, and he was worried that he had to use the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law to suppress Qin Mu, and then restrain him in terms of money and food.
The fact that Huichang dug out the salt pond could not be hidden, the only thing that could be temporarily concealed was the output of salt, Qin Mu asked Ning Yuan to take three hundred men and horses to garrison Zhoutian Town, and the surrounding area of the salt pond was divided into a military forbidden area, and idle people were not allowed to enter; It is distributed to many merchants and smugglers at the time of sale, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out the exact output of the salt ponds.
Now Yang Tinglin not only plans to find out the specific output of Zhoutian Salt Pond, but also plans to send someone to take over the management. Qin Mu didn't want to directly pull the flag and rebel, once he was notorious as a traitor, he would lose his righteousness, which was very unfavorable.
Therefore, he couldn't refuse Yang Tinglin to send someone to Yanchi to manage and supervise, so that it would be difficult to hide the output of Yanchi, and the financial resources he relied on to raise the army would be cut off.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Fuzhou and county government also imitated the system of the six central departments, with six rooms for officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, corresponding to the six central departments.
This time, Yang Tinglin sent Qin Mu to Huichang with Wei Yingchao, the ambassador of the tax department who was in charge of collecting commercial tax and property transfer tax, and the six small officials of the tax department.
Looking at these seven guys, Qin Mu frowned, he could take the means of house arrest against the soldier Dao Wang Gong, but not against these seven guys, if these people did not return after arriving in Huichang, Yang Tinglin would immediately have a further reaction.
Qin Mu couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.
Now it is the beginning of July, it is autumn, but the southern Gannan region still does not feel the autumn coolness, the sky is like fire, the heat wave on the ground is rolling, the horse's hooves are everywhere, and the yellow dust is filled.
The leaves on the side of the road swayed in the sun, giving a sense of life, and on the slope a fellow wearing a hat was shouting insults and chasing two and a half boys.
From the scolding of the villagers, it can be seen that the two and a half old boys couldn't bear the hunger and came to the field to steal sweet potatoes to eat.
A large area of the slope is full of green sweet potato seedlings, during this period of abundant rain in southern Gansu, sweet potato growth is gratifying.
These sweet potatoes on the roadside are newly planted, and the potato vine is only three feet long, even if the potatoes are grown, they are only the size of a finger.
It's just that for hungry children, even sweet potatoes that are only the size of their fingers are a hundred times better than eating grass roots and wild vegetables. But until the crops in the field are harvested, this period will be their hardest days.
Yang Tinglin is a good official and has been trying his best to help the victims, but the Ganzhou government itself has limited money and food, and the imperial court has no money and food to allocate it, so refugees still starve to death from time to time.
Qin Mu didn't have any good way to deal with this, except for trying his best to help, he could only let the victims be each other, and when they got to the ground and had a harvest, everything would be fine.
Liu Meng, who was accompanying him, saw that Qin Mu was worried, so he came up and walked with him, he glanced back at Wei Yingchao and the few little officials, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a few little goods, why should adults worry?" ”
Qin Mu was embarrassed, and replied lazily: "Just say what you want to say." ”
"My lord, these little goods have arrived in Huichang, and they are not for us to fiddle with, if they are disobedient, they are just used to kill chickens to show the monkeys, scare and scare the remaining few, and then lure them to their advantage, they still have to listen obediently to your lordship? How many do you ask them to report, and they still dare not listen? So you don't have to worry about this at all, according to your subordinates, there is something that adults need to hurry up to be true. ”
Qin Mu turned his head and looked at Liu Meng again, this guy is five big and three thick, his face is full of beards, and he has a fight with Zhang Fei, Qin Mu has always classified him as the role of a pioneer general, but he didn't expect him to have some feminine thoughts, "Tell me, what should you do quickly?" ”
Liu Meng was a little embarrassed by him, scratched his head and smiled: "Come to the church to get married, the adults should hurry up and marry the prefect's daughter." ”
"Huh." Qin Mu was really a little surprised at this time, and couldn't help but look at this guy again.
"My lord, my subordinates are not the daughter of the prefect, why do you think of me like this?" Liu Meng suddenly turned into a big girl, with a girly face.
Qin Mu almost didn't spit it out, and at the same time subconsciously clamped the two strands, and said angrily: "Get out." ”
Although Qin Mu shouted loudly, he had to admit in his heart that Liu Meng had thought of the idea, Yang Tinglin obviously wanted to use this relationship to suppress himself, and he didn't use this relationship to pull Yang Tinglin into the water?
Qin Mu didn't think of this before, because he subconsciously rejected political marriage, and he didn't want to make his marriage overshadowed by too much utilitarianism, but now he is forced to be helpless, he can't take care of it so much, and he will be better to Yang Zhi in the future.
As for whether Yang Tinglin will agree to let him and Yang Zhi get married at this time, Qin Mu is not too worried, Yang Tinglin also said before that when the Huichang disaster relief matter is over, he will let the two get married as soon as possible, and now if he finds a reason to shirk, then he can't say it, I believe Yang Tinglin doesn't want to tear his face at this time.
After making a decision, Qin Mu felt much more comfortable, and the itinerary was faster.
Li Xiangjun deliberately waited for him, walked very slowly, and caught up with her when she arrived at the White Goose Town, she stood under the shade of a tall willow on the side of the road, wearing an embroidered plum blossom bamboo leaf moonflower skirt gently fluttering in the wind, and her petite and delicate figure was so light that it seemed to float away with the wind.
As soon as Qin Mu turned over and dismounted, she greeted her and said with a smile: "Qin Lang, the prefect didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Her bright smile was so beautiful that Qin Mu wanted to hug her and kiss her to the fullest.
"With Xiangjun's clever plan, you can naturally turn the danger into a disaster." He took the water bladder from the saddle and took a sip, then handed it to Li Xiangjun.
"Qin Lang don't make fun of others, what tricks can I have." Li Xiangjun bit his lower lip and smiled slightly, and took a sip without hesitation.
"What did you write in your letter?" Qin Mu patted the bluestone beside him and asked her to sit over, this question has been in his heart, and it is really uncomfortable not to ask clearly.
Li Xiangjun didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "So, Miss Yang really came forward to defend Qin Lang?" ”
"Well, come out, tell me quickly, Xiangjun, what did you tell her?"
"I won't tell you, hehe" Li Xiangjun's lips were slightly upturned, and he smiled smartly, full of playfulness.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Qin Mu was furious, as if he wanted to devour people and eat.
"Hee-hee"
