Chapter 052:-for-tat

Qin Mu went to Zhoutian Town to dig salt mines, but he didn't expect others to come to Huichang to dig his foot.

And the person who came to dig his wall was Wang Gong, a Taoist soldier in Ganzhou.

The military is an authority between the province and the state capital, similar to the district administration office in later generations.

If it is said that the governor's yamen has hollowed out the powers of the provincial power organs, the political department, the capital command department, and the judges. Then the military preparation road also weakened the power of the yamen at the level of the state capital to a large extent.

The military garrison yamen is usually not located in the prefecture city, but according to the actual situation, it is located in the military key areas of the provinces.

Huichang is connected to Fujian in the east, Guangdong in the southeast, and is located at the junction of the three provinces.

Wang Gong was eager to seek merit in the South Snake Mountain, and fell into Ma Yongzhen's plan to lure the enemy, and forced Zhu Teng to attack under the command of Ganzhou Wei, which resulted in Zhu Teng's life being lost, and Wang Gong himself broke his leg when he fled.

Although he was lucky not to die, but when Qin Mu left Ganzhou, he was still in bed to recuperate, Qin Mu thought that he would have to take a month or two to heal his injuries, but he didn't expect this guy to be so active, he brought his injuries back to Huichang, and as soon as he came back, he pointed fingers at Ganzhou affairs.

Qin Mu was not there, Tian Yimu and Wu Wangcai and others were called by him to drink, and the Huichang Thousand Households Office was the focus of his intervention, and as soon as he came, he installed a few cronies to go in as the general flag and a hundred households, and after learning that the soldiers of the Huichang Thousand Households were as many as 2,000, he immediately ordered Ma Yongzhen to disarm.

Although Ma Yongzhen gave him a few soft knives, Wang Gong was a Taoist after all, with a higher grade than the prefect, and his authority was to reorganize the army. Ma Yongzhen and Huo Sheng were somewhat worried, so they sent someone to report to Qin Mu urgently and let Qin Mu take the idea.

Qin Mu had no choice but to entrust the affairs of the Zhoutian Salt Mine to Ning Yuan for the time being, and hurriedly returned to Huichang County.

Along the way, Qin Mu thought about it repeatedly, how to deal with Wang Gong's house, although this guy is a guilty body, but the court did not remove him from his official position, this is probably only one possibility, this guy must have some foundation in the court, covering for him.

With this guy stirring up peace in Huichang, if one is not good, it is likely to bring big trouble to himself.

As far as the current situation in Huichang is concerned, it is not difficult to elevate the king's arch, but he will definitely continue to make small reports, and the matter of the salt mine will definitely not be hidden for a long time.

Of course, it's not impossible to find a reason to make this guy disappear, but it's just that he went to the monk's temple and Wang Gong disappeared, and the boss is likely to send someone else to serve as a Taoist.

Therefore, making Wang Gong disappear is just a strategy, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Somehow, the people in the city actually learned the news of Qin Mu's return to the city in advance, and many people spontaneously flocked to the south gate to take a look at this parent official who could speak with the sky.

Since Qin Mu took office, various policies have been fruitful, reorganizing the field registration, dividing the field and land, relocating the victims, and stabilizing the morale of the army.

Coupled with the natural vision of the spring prayer and replenishment sacrifice, the wind and clouds will meet, and he can actually speak with the heavens, and really find the salt mine, this mysterious ability is awe-inspiring, and soon established a high prestige in the hearts of the people.

So much so that after learning that he was against the city, many people spontaneously flocked to the south gate to greet him.

"Lord Zhixian is back."

"Lord Zhixian has worked hard."

"Lord Zhixian."

"Lord Zhixian."

When Qin Mu entered the city, there was jubilation on both sides of the street, some people sent an egg, some people sent a glass of turbid wine, and the people expressed their respect and love with their meager ability.

All this was completely unexpected by Qin Mu, which caught him a little off guard, after all, he had only been in Huichang for ten days, and he didn't expect the people of Huichang to give him such a high courtesy.

Qin Mu was immediately moved by the pair of eager eyes on the side of the street, and the call one after another.

"Folks, this county wants to tell you that the salt pond has been found, although it is not clear how big the salt pond is, but it should be no problem to supply our Huichang, and the county will soon let people transport the salt to the high price of salt, everyone can rest assured."

"Thank you, Lord Prefectural."

"Thank you, Lord Prefectural."

"Folks, there is no need to welcome the official like this in the future, the official can't afford it, now I will prosper all industries, the people's livelihood is difficult, and the villagers are needed to strive for self-improvement, and they don't have to spend time to meet the official, the villagers spend more time working, do more livelihood, and make their own lives better as soon as possible, this is more important than anything else, go back, folks, go back quickly, do what you should do."

In just a few words of exchange, many people on the street were so moved that they shed tears, which made Qin Mu a little inexplicable, and some star-chasing clans in later generations got a look response from their idols, and they were so excited that they cried a lot, but after all, it was only young boys and girls who dream all day long that they would be like this, and the people of Huichang can't even fill their stomachs now, so they won't be playing star chasing.

In fact, Qin Mu still underestimated the weight of the land in the hearts of the people, and the people listened to his words, not only did they not disperse immediately, but many people who had just been allocated to the fields knelt down and bowed to him.

Qin Mu hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped him up one by one, this scene made more people shed tears, and also made Qin Mu more convinced of his conclusion: as long as the Chinese people have fields to plant, there is hope, they will not rebel, and they will be able to survive the heaviest suffering.

"Lord Qin really loves the people like a son."

Qin Mu was helping the kneeling people, and suddenly a voice with a sarcastic flavor came from behind, Qin Mu looked back, and saw Wang Gong sitting on a shoulder chariot, carried by two servants, and it looked like he had probably just returned from outside the city.

Qin Mu suddenly showed a smile on his face, the wind was clear and the moon was clear, and he said with a long bow: "The lower official has seen Lord Bingxian, Lord Bingxian is injured, and he works for the people all day long, what the lower officials do is not as good as Lord Bingxian, how can he talk about loving the people like a son, Xia Guan is really ashamed." ”

"Qin Zhixian, you came back just in time, and the official is trying to ask you about something."

"This is not a place to discuss official business, Lord Bingxian, please, let's go back to the government and talk about it later." After Qin Mu stretched out his hand to invite, he turned to the people on the street and said aloud: "Folks, go back, as long as everyone does not give up and is not discouraged, and strive for self-improvement, the official believes that life will get better soon, go back quickly." ”

"Congratulations to the county lord."

"Congratulations to the county lord."

“”

The people's congratulatory voices were not neat and chaotic, but they seemed to be very sincere, but they seemed to have omitted Wang Gong intentionally or unintentionally, which made Wang Gong's face darken, snorted lowly, and was elected to go to the county government.

When Huichang was broken by the rebels, Wang Gong ran fast, and the Yamen of the Soldier Road was used by the rebels to vent his anger, and a fire was burned, and now only a broken wall remains.

As soon as Qin Mu entered the county office, he learned that Qiao'er was ordered by Wang Gong to move to the bedroom on the east side of the county office, and then the residence of the county had been occupied by Wang Gong.

Before Qin Mu had time to get angry, as soon as he entered the Yamen, Wang Gong began to shout: "Thank you Lord Qin for your salary!" Qin Mu, you are so bold, you dare to let the soldiers shout like this one by one, what do you want to do? Rebellion? ”

Qin Mu found a chair and sat down peacefully, and replied indifferently: "When Wang Bingxian was here, the soldiers couldn't receive military salaries, and for so many years, the soldiers rarely received a salary, so it was inevitable that they would be a little excited, and it was inevitable to say words of gratitude, so why should Wang Bingxian make a fuss." ”

"You" Wang Gong's face was even more colorful, and Qin Mu's words were tantamount to saying that he was greedy for military salaries. How could he stand it, "Qin Mu, the imperial court has its own rules, you are a small county to fill the vacancy, when will it be your turn to come to Yue Yu to pay the soldiers?" You are clearly deliberately bribing the hearts of the army and trying to do wrong, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans! ”

Wang Gong's big hat was buttoned down, Qin Mu had a wit, but let him find a way to deal with Wang Gong, so he got up and arched his hand and replied: "Wang Bingxian Mingjian, most of the thousands of households in Huichang are newly recruited soldiers, if these people are not appeased as soon as possible, I am afraid that they will immediately rise up to rebel again, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time;

To say that this matter of distributing food and salary, it is indeed not the turn of the lower officials to come to the next office, and the lower officials are also miserable for this, and the food and salary of the imperial court cannot be counted on for a while, and the lower officials are worried that the soldiers have just been appeased and rebelled, so they borrowed from east to west, so they finally scraped together some food and pay to appease the army's heart first. Wang Bingxian came just in time, and in the future, everything in the army can be counted on Wang Bingxian, but don't let them rebel again. ”

Wang Gong was choked for a moment, he couldn't be clearer about why the soldiers rebelled last time, Qin Mu's words were not lies, these people had already rebelled once, and now they had just accepted the appeasement, if they were not properly appeased, would they mind rebelling again?

I narrowly escaped last time, is this time so lucky? Wang Gong looked at his broken leg and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"Qin Mu, even if you have no choice but to pay the army, then what's the matter with the nearly 1,000 people in the Huichang Thousand Households? Now this Huichang is like an iron plate, everyone looks at your horse's head, don't you tell this official that you don't know about it? ”

Qin Mu flicked his sleeves and replied: "I'm afraid that Wang Bingxian's question is asked to the wrong person, the lower official has a small vacancy in the county, the affairs of these thousands of households are not under the control of the lower officials, how many are in the army, this is what Wang Bingxian should be in charge of, why did he ask the lower officials instead?" ”

Wang Gong was extremely angry, it stands to reason that this matter really can't be spread on Qin Mu's head, but is this really the case?

Wang Gong is not stupid, he has been touching nails everywhere in the past two days since he came to Huichang, and whether it is the army or the people, they are extremely supportive of Qin Mu, and he can be sure that there must be something greasy in this.

It's just that right now, Qin Mu pushed two, five or six, and he really couldn't hold his conclusive handle for a while, Wang Gong's arrogance decreased a lot, and he quickly understood one thing, although Qin Mu was only a small magistrate, it was not something he could handle arbitrarily.

Wang Gong was thinking about countermeasures, but Qin Mu continued: "Wang Bingxian, the imperial court has its own regulations, this county yamen is the yamen of the lower officials, Wang Bingxian is the difference between living in it and the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and I also ask Lord Wang to move back to his Daotai yamen immediately, let's each return to his place, so that we can perform our duties, so as not to break the regulations of the imperial court." ”

Wang Gong was really angry after hearing this, but the big hat of "court regulations" was too heavy, and he couldn't rush it.

Moreover, he was the first to talk about the regulations of the imperial court, and Qin Mu used his own way to govern his body in a blink of an eye, making him tremble, but he couldn't say a word.
