"Absolutely not!" Han Zai patted the table, almost roaring, he must not allow Lin Jian to make such a big move in Chongzhou.

"Why not? Please let me know! Lin Jian narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Zai coldly, "Could it be that it is not feasible to let the big families occupy the public land?" Or is it not feasible to dredge rivers and turn waste land into fertile land? ”

"Is it absolutely feasible to lease the land to thieves?" Han Jae stared at Lin Jian angrily.

"Lord Han, it's too much for you to say that," Lin Jian said coldly, "I have three or four thousand generals in the Jiangdong Left Army, most of whom are homeless people in the north, but they threw their heads and spilled blood for the imperial court, and King Qin made great contributions to the four victories, and returned to Chongzhou to defend the countryside in the south. ”

Wu Meijiu had a splitting headache, Lin Jian and Han Zai almost had to slap their arms and stare at each other in the last few meetings, he was the most difficult person to be caught in the middle, he couldn't offend anyone, but in the end, he had to offend someone.

"Although the Jiangdong Left Army has made great contributions, the Jiangzepu Rebellion is also a lesson from the past, how can Lord Lin serve as a homeless person in Chongzhou and not be a thief?" Han Jae asked rhetorically.

"There have been many rebellions and rebellions among hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Hongzepu, and the main reason for this is the lack of local resettlement," Lin Jian said. Lord Han has such fierce opposition, does Lord Han hope that the displaced people will not be able to make trouble in Chongzhou? ”

"This matter is to be done, and it is also a matter of the county, and it is not the turn of the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy to stand up and point fingers," Han Zai kicked the ball to Wu Meijiu, staring at him viciously, and asked, "Lord Wu, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Wu Meijiu also hated Han Zai, but he didn't dare to offend Yue Lengqiu and Wang Tian behind Han Zai, and said: "I think Lord Lin's words are reasonable, and Lord Han's words are also reasonable, if you don't submit a document to Hailing Mansion and the county department for a resolution?" ”

"No need," Lin Jian patted the table, stood up and said arbitrarily, "If this thing doesn't work, it will work, do you think that Chongzhou County's annual forty or fifty thousand stone grain can really feed the three or four thousand generals of the Jiangdong Left Army?" The imperial court commissioned the Jiangdong Left Army to guard the Chongzhou Maritime Frontier, and its responsibility was very heavy, and Chongzhou was the source of the Jiangdong Left Army's salary, and its responsibility was also heavy. ”

"The quota of the water battalion in Ninghai Town is comparable to that of the Jiangdong Left Army, and the food and salary are only more than 60,000 stones, and the Jiangdong Left Army is the establishment of the township army, which is slightly worse, so what is not satisfied?" Han Jae retorted.

"Is Lord Han really confused or pretending to be confused?" Lin Jian looked at Han Zai with his eyes, "The armor of the warships and armor of the water battalion in Ninghai Town is arranged and issued according to the routine, but the Jiangdong Left Army needs to raise it by itself, is it possible that Lord Han thinks that after a battle, there will be no loss in the armor and ship?" Don't you want to pay for the dead and wounded in battle? Or when the East China Sea invades, it will be impossible for the Jiangdong Left Army to hide aside and stand idly by? There is a bandit leader off the coast of Jiangkou who calls himself the East China Sea Fox, according to the whistle detective report, the East China Sea Fox wants Kou Chongzhou, and Lord Han really wants Lin to stand by and watch? ”

"You ......" Han Zai's face turned blue with anger, "You are blatantly threatening this official!" ”

"Lord Han didn't make the Jiangdong Left Army have to replenish the armor, and didn't let the Jiangdong Left Army get compensation for the dead and wounded in battle, why did the Jiangdong Left Army fight for Lord Han?" Lin Jian sneered, stood up with his hand on the table, and stared at Han Zai, "I have made up my mind about this matter, Lord Han might as well hand the paper to Lord Wang and Governor Yue, Governor Yue collected one million taels of silver from the local government at a time, I don't know what excuse there is to stop me from doing this in Chongzhou?" Even if there are three or five bitter masters, it is not the turn of Lord Han to stand up for them at this time. ”

Lin Jian said to Wu Meijiu again: "Lord Wu, I'm sorry, I don't want to embarrass you, but I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry...... It is no longer possible to reduce expenditure, and it is the only feasible move at present to take stock of public land and turn waste land into fertile land to open up the source. Could it be that we watched local village tyrants occupy public land and ignored it? ”

Wu Meijiu looked at Han Zai hesitantly, he was unwilling to express his position casually before Han Zai's arrogance completely suppressed Lin Jiao.

"Wait!" Han Jae left the hall with his hands in his hands and returned to his residence in a rage.

Only then did Lin Jian say to Wu Meijiu in a kind tone: "Lord Wu, I am also forced to open my mouth so much to be fed, and the whole country, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, are waiting for the Jiangdong Left Army to make contributions in Chongzhou - but please rest assured that every achievement of the Jiangdong Left Army is indispensable to the contribution of Lord Wu." ”

"Han Zai will definitely go to Governor Yue and Lord Wang to complain, and I can't control too much," Wu Meijiu said, "Lord Lin doesn't know about it." ”

Lin Lian smiled slightly, Wu Meijiu just didn't want to take the lead in front of Yue Lengqiu and Wang Tian, as long as Wu Meijiu didn't forcibly stop it and investigate the matter of the public land, Li Shuyi and they could do it first in the name of the county household house and workshop.

This matter must be done quickly, and Lin Jian plans to directly let Lin Mengde and Sun Jingtang directly participate in it, and strive to complete the preparations for the inventory and dredging of the public fields before the autumn grain harvest is completed. Not to mention the strategic position of the Yunyan River, not only can tens of thousands of displaced households directly benefit from it, but also become the backbone of the Jiangdong Left Army, and hundreds of thousands of acres of waste land will be converted into high-yielding and high-yield public land, and the annual rental income will directly make up for the shortage of food and salary for the Jiangdong Left Army.

On the one hand, on the condition of reducing rent in the future, Lin Tie recruited free young people from the displaced households to participate in this matter, and on the other hand, as long as it is verified that there are large households suspected of encroaching on public land, Lin Tie will naturally have to knock on the bone and suck the marrow.

***********

"The swineherd has a big plan, I'm afraid that he will have a solid foundation in Chongzhou, and it will be difficult to uproot him again......" Wang Xueshan frowned and said with deep worry.

Wang Tian is also at a loss, to say that Lin Tie has been arrogant and domineering in Jiangning before, who can really suppress him for such a long time? At least in Chongzhou, there is no force that can resist Lin Bin, and there is no trouble in Chongzhou, and it is difficult to find trouble in the minutiae here.

If you want to say that he is arrogant and domineering, for the Changyi mutiny case, he supported the army to enter Shandong, Lin Jian is no longer an ordinary arrogant, and in the end, it is not nothing?

These many things also gradually made the local heroes see the reality of the imperial court, and saw through the weak nature of the imperial court, and the person who supported the army and respected himself was not a swineherd alone, or he tied Lin to Chongzhou to borrow relief and Gongtian Zhushi The behavior of the small people in the city was impeached, and most of the center did not dare to lift the lid.

Ma Weihan stood behind Wang Xueshan, calmly looking at the people sitting in the hall, Yue Lengqiu, Cheng Yuqian, Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan and others, and so on, in terms of quality and status, everyone was a few levels higher than Lin Lian, but they couldn't help Lin Lian - but Lin Lian's actions this time were really bold enough, and he checked the public land, almost completely ignoring the local forces in Chongzhou County.

Yue Lengqiu arrived in Jiangning for less than half a year, and he brought Cheng Yuqian, Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan and other important officials in Jiangdong County to his side, but he couldn't completely suppress Gu Wuchen and couldn't raise his head, in the final analysis, it was Lin Tie who led the Jiangdong Left Army to give Gu Wuchen quite strong support in Chongzhou. In the entire government and opposition, after the internal split of the Chu Party, the Chu Party officials almost threw themselves to Zhang Xie, and the power of Zhang Xie's family was far stronger than Tang Haoxin's......

Lin Tie this son can create such a pattern in an absolutely weak situation, so that Hao Zongcheng, Li Zhuo and other people with monstrous power are also secretly colluding with him, Yue Lengqiu wants to suppress his actions in Chongzhou, it is difficult!

In late February, after the 100,000 Dongyu cavalry who had been plundered in Yannan and Shandong left the customs, the imperial court, which was almost in a desperate situation, naturally wanted to publicize the miracle of the four victories in Yannan created by the Jiangdong Left Army, so as to maintain the extremely weakened morale and maintain the last face of the center; This also made Lin Tie and the Jiangdong Left Army win great prestige in the government and the opposition - in the world, the military exploits of winning more with less and creating miracles in seemingly desperate adversity can always give the world more expectations - even if Lin Tie and the Jiangdong Left Army are more arrogant and domineering in Chongzhou, at least in the hearts of most scholars and officials can tolerate it, and Lin Tie uprooted the monastic power in Chongzhou with the bandit case, and the final backlash caused by the extremely weak voice can also be seen.

Ma Weihan thought to himself that Yue Lengqiu summoned Cheng Yuqian, Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan and others, and couldn't discuss any countermeasures, instead of stumbling over Lin in the open, it was better to expect Donghai Kou to perform better, as long as the Jiangdong Left Army suffered one or two defeats in Chongzhou, and the myth of invincibility was shattered, Lin Bin's arrogance would naturally be easily extinguished.

Yue Lengqiu observed his words, and Wang Xueshan also opened his mouth to express his strong dissatisfaction with Lin Bin, Wang Tian and Cheng Yuqian were quite silent, probably because they had palpitations.

When Lin was in Jiangning, he was the prison of Prison Island, and Wang Xueshan also gave him a disgraced face, and he was forced to compromise and back down with Gu Wuchen in everything. Wang Tian and Cheng Yuqian are very dissatisfied with Lin Tie in their hearts, but they will not take the initiative to stand up and be the rafters to suppress Lin Tie personally - I'm afraid I'm afraid of giving Lin Tie a bite back - Han Zai's poor performance in Chongzhou also shows that conventional means can't deal with this swineherd who doesn't play cards according to the rules.

"The defense of Jiangkou can't rely too much on the Jiangdong Left Army, let Lin Tie this son get too much, he dares to ride on our heads to pee and, I don't need to say anything about this," Yue Lengqiu said, "However, at this time, it is the autumn of the crisis of the society, many people need to unite sincerely and help each other in the same boat, and they can't be beaten to death with a stick because Lin Tie has some mistakes, but they can't let him be unrestricted to the point - the strength of the Ninghai Town Water Camp and the Jiangning Water Camp must be strengthened." ”

With the rise and fall of one after the other, the strength of the Ninghai Town Water Camp and the Jiangning Water Camp has been strengthened, and the position of the Jiangdong Left Army and Lin Jian is naturally not so important.

Everyone here understands this truth, but if the strength of the Ninghai Town Water Camp and the Jiangning Water Camp is to be strengthened, the first thing is not anything else, but silver.

Wang Tian and Wang Xueshan frowned, now the local government wants to do something, and the center has promised a lot, but the silver is not a dime, and the local government has to raise it by itself.

According to the regulations drafted by Yue Lengqiu, the Jiangning Water Battalion and the Ninghai Town Water Battalion should expand the number of troops, strengthen the warships and combat equipment, and include the requisitioned civilian and miscellaneous services such as boatmen and sailors into the auxiliary army sequence salary, and the annual salary of the Ninghai Town Water Battalion should be sharply increased from the current 40,000 taels of silver to 120,000 taels of silver, and the salary of the Jiangning Water Battalion should also be nearly doubled, which means that the Xuanfu Envoy and the Jiangning Mansion will have to squeeze out an extra 150,000 taels of silver every year.

In the past, for the reconstruction of the Changhuai Army, the local government took out 1 million silver at once, and in the future, it will take out an additional 400,000 silver every year.

After Yue Lengqiu came to Jiangdong, the local expenses increased by millions, and no matter how rich Jiangdong County was, it could not withstand such consumption.

Speaking of the issue of silver, Wang Tian and Wang Xueshan fell into silence at the same time, probably because they were too silent, and felt that the atmosphere was depressing, Wang Tiancai said in a loud voice: "How much does the Xuanfu envoy pay and drop every year, how much is released to Beijing, the surplus is geometric, and the detailed accounts are not hidden from Governor Yue, can Jiangning Mansion squeeze out more?" ”

For many years, the status of Jiangning Mansion and the county department was side by side, until the imperial court did not follow the regular system and set up the post of Jianghuai Governor, so that Jiangning Mansion and County Department were subject to the control of Jianghuai Governor.

Wang Xueshan was unwilling to be suppressed by Gu Wuchen, Yue Lengqiu came over, and in the name of the governor, Wang Xueshan naturally wanted to go over and wipe off the sore feet that Gu Wuchen had caught in the past.

It's just that this change is not easy, Yue Lengqiu's exploitation of the local area is much more powerful than Gu Wuchen. At least when Dongyang Township Yong was formed, Gu Wuchen raised all the money himself, and he didn't spend much space. Even now, nearly half of Dongyang Township Yong's money and salary are raised from the Dongyang Township Party, and the other half is from the Dongyang Prefecture.

Wang Xueshan said: "Jiangning Mansion is now so poor that there are only pots and pans left, and when Li Bingbu was in Jiangning, he removed the river parking tax and fish tax, and let the people take it for themselves." However, in the sixteen counties of the country, only Jiangning Mansion does not take the river berth tax and fish tax, which is also a bit abrupt, and it is necessary to raise more money from Jiangning Mansion, restore the river berth tax and fish tax, and raise an extra 350,000 taels of silver every year......"

Ma Weihan stood behind Wang Xueshan and was silent, when it came to the river tax and fish tax, Lin Jian canceled many miscellaneous taxes and capitation assessments, including the fish tax, in Chongzhou, and strengthened the collection of municipal taxes and mining taxes such as taxes and resident taxes. Li Zhuo's suggestion last year to abolish the river berth tax and fish tax, and let the people take their own hands, is also in consideration of the situation of the great chaos of the displaced people last year, so that the displaced people have one more way to survive and maintain local stability; now that Liu An'er has been expelled from Haozhou, the situation in Jiangdong County has generally stabilized, and there seems to be nothing wrong with Jiangning's resumption of the river berth tax and fish tax.

Yue Lengqiu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's best for Jiangning Mansion to raise an extra fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

"I just reluctantly did it, and I didn't dare to pack the ticket first." Wang Xueshan said.

The Jiangning Water Battalion is the sequence of the Jiangning garrison, and Cheng Yuqian is naturally in favor of strengthening the Jiangning Water Battalion, and the only thing that dislikes him is the fact that the Ninghai Town Water Battalion has more silver than the Jiangning Water Battalion.
