Chapter 37: The weak Confucian is cunning and foxy
Whether the He family has an inside line of Miao people, Yang Qinglian is not clear, and there is no way to start checking the large number of people who participated in the suppression of bandits in the past. The reason why he wanted to do this was because he had to take advantage of the chaos to make He Fengqiu lose his position, and he was afraid of himself. Otherwise, once he calms down and finds that the county magistrate is just a small sesame official who has nothing, let alone suppress the Miao people, he will die on the streets of Yanqin first.
Fortunately, it is precisely because He Fengqiu has been a businessman for many years that he has unconsciously transformed from a reckless and reckless bastard to a profit-oriented businessman, if he can master this character in him and constantly weigh and instill the pros and cons for him, he can be able to exchange between the dog and the wolf at any time.
Yang Qinglian smiled casually and walked towards the yamen with confident steps, intending to see how the yamen was progressing now.
To say that He Fengqiu's group of people are extremely concerned about this matter, it has only been two days since the progress of the renovation of the yamen has been more than five or six minutes, and it has also been expanded into a quadruple house with a large courtyard and a small courtyard.
When Yang Qinglian was still a few steps away, he could see the gate with three rooms, and the black lacquered gate of the bright aisle was cast into a hideous beast head made of pure copper. Since he had not really entered the government at this time, the "Yimen" was still closed, so he had to enter the lobby through the "convenient door" on the side.
I saw that the "quiet" and "avoidance" cards in the lobby were divided into two sides of the tree, and eighteen weapons were arranged in an orderly manner. The blue flag, leather lance, paulownia stick, blue fan, official signage, and drums have all been prepared. The conspicuous four-character "Mirror Hanging" horizontal plaque hangs high in the hall, and the red sun on the freshly painted Jiangya Mountain and sea map is bright red, and the surging waves seem to be endless.
Yang Qinglian walked to the courtyard behind the yamen, found the study and entered, and instantly felt an eye-opener: the room has a large case of Zhang Huali marble, and dozens of treasure inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, and the pen in the sea of pens is towering like a forest.
On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall, there is a "Smoke and Rain Map", and a couplet is hung on the left and right, and its word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career.
On the left red sandalwood shelf is a large plate of a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. On the right lacquer shelf hangs a white jade flounder, and next to it hangs a small hammer.
The situation in front of him made him not know what to do, so he only shook his head: This He Fengqiu is overthinking...
After sighing with emotion, Yang Qinglian took advantage of the silence and no one here, and judged the situation:
In Yanqin, in fact, not all Miao people entered the mountains as bandits, and some Miao people could not drag their families with their families after intermarrying with Han people, or they were too old to walk, neither could walk the ups and downs of the mountain roads, nor could they stand the humidity in the mountains, etc., and these Miao people would stay in the county and have to live with other Han residents.
Thinking of this, Yang Qinglian hurriedly walked to the desk and sprinkled white paper, and wrote the first official document since he arrived in Yanqin Mansion for many days - promulgating the "Ten Joint Orders".
What is the "Ten Family Joint Order", popularly speaking, it is to protect the armor and sit together, with ten households as a unit, after the registration of the yamen, the ten families inspect each other every day, once they find any abnormalities must be reported, those who do not report are found by the county yamen, and the ten families are convicted together!
As soon as this official document was arranged, all the people of Yanqin Mansion suddenly exploded, and people were panicked for a while, feeling that the neighbors before and after were suspected of being bandits, especially for those who had Miao people at home, and they were eager to live in other people's homes and monitor them at all times so as not to be implicated.
Yang Qinglian wanted this effect, because the Miao people became very concerned about ethnic cohesion because of the Han people's deprivation of their living places, and when their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters were so tightly restrained, in order to ensure that they were not arrested by the government, the Miao people in the mountains did not dare to visit them easily.
But the most paradoxical thing is that the Miao old people who are left in the county have no ability to work, and they need relief from time to time.
But just like that, it still can't prevent some people from seizing the gap to ventilate the news, so Yang Qinglian feels that it is necessary to go to Hefu again.
He Fengqiu is a headache when he sees this county order, yesterday after he left, He Mansion immediately made a fuss, he spent a lot of effort to beat the family all over again, the worst of which is He Housekeeper, since the old man woke up the real meaning of the county order, the old bones fainted on the spot, and when he woke up today, he found that he was not even walking and trembling twice.
Therefore, He Fengqiu couldn't wait to hurry up to the pillar incense and invite this living Bodhisattva away.
"It's really troublesome for Master He to summon everyone. Standing in the center of the hall, Yang Qinglian thanked He Fengqiu, and talked loudly to the guests on the left and right: "Most of you have also seen Yang roughly before, so I won't go into details. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone began to discuss: Isn't it always a matter for the government to decide how to suppress bandits, and when will it be their turn to speak out?
Yang Qinglian made a silent gesture to silence them, and continued: "The Miao bandit rebellion has been a problem in Yanqin's heart for many years, and the improper governance of the Yanqin County Order in the past has made the Miao people more and more arrogant. ”
He looked around and saw that everyone was listening attentively, and paused: "Everyone here is generous, presumably there are some guards and martial artists in the mansion, this official implores you to send these people with unique skills to form a team to eliminate the people for the people, and at the same time, this official will also ask the local martial arts hall to invite some masters to enter the mountain together..."
Yang Qinglian said a little engaged, ignoring the uncertain faces of everyone at the scene, and was interrupted when he was talking about excitement.
"My lord, why don't you ask the imperial court for troops to come, that is more than ten percent higher than the strength of the martial arts hall that I can't wait for. ”
It was a rugged man who got up, he was tightly dressed, his body was as strong as an ox, and his arms were not a few points worse than the beams of the house, and it was easy to recognize this person's martial arts background. Yang Qinglian looked at He Fengqiu, the other party coughed a few times to dissolve the embarrassment of the scene, and replied with a smile: "This is Luo Daneng, the hall master of the Xiongwu Hall of Yanqin Mansion. ”
"It turned out to be the master of Luotang, who has been admired for a long time. Yang Qinglian also ignored the arrogance on the man's face, and arched his hand to show his admiration: "Even if you can sit in the He Mansion, the Xiongwu Hall of the Lord of the Luo Hall must be one of the best halls in Yanqin." ”
"That goes without saying. The man snorted coldly.
Yang Qinglian stared at the disdain on the other party's face, and smiled bitterly in his heart, if he wanted to make Yan Qin's third-rate Nine Sects truly surrender, it was a long way to go, but the originally soft smile on his face gradually disappeared:
"Lord Luo said that it is very true, the imperial court sent troops to save effort, but don't forget that the imperial court raises troops to meet each other when the foreign enemy rebels, if the official asks the emperor for troops according to what Luo Tang Master said, is this fold written Miao people rebel or resist the invasion of the enemy?
The emperor has been in charge of the government for many years, regards all ethnic groups in the world as a family, and recalls the order to remember to treat each other in harmony. The Miao people are just forced to take people's wealth for their livelihood and do not hurt people's lives, does Lord Luo want me to take the facts to the big picture and deceive the monarch or directly disobey the emperor's will and treat the Miao people as a foreign race?
Or is it that Hall Master Luo is actually questioning the ability of this official to govern Yanqin, and wants to say that this official has no plan to delay your stable life while in office?"
A few words of hat buttoning down can make Luo Da can say cold sweat, he didn't expect this seemingly powerless Confucian student to have such a sharp mouth, refuting him speechless.
He Fengqiu saw that Luo Daneng's face was embarrassed, and he came out in time to play a round: "Yang County ordered not to be anxious, and the master of Luo Tang was just a thief, and he didn't choose what to say." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Qinglian's face became faster than turning a book, and before he could blink over, he changed his face and said to Luo Daneng: "Actually, this official also knows that the hall master's original intention is very good, but if you think about it, even if you can really dispatch the southern Hunan army, Yanqin is in a remote place, and you have to delay at least two days when you come and go, and how much grain storage for winter will the people have to lose."
What's more, the martial arts hall of the Luo Hall Master must not be in vain, how can there be no elite to help me? Why should this official go to the near and far to do such a thankless task? Besides, if the bandit trouble has subsided for many years, and then the official will take advantage of the situation to play the book, the emperor will be happy, and how can the Xiongwu Hall stop at Yanqin?"
Yang Qinglian can really be said to be caressing the pond without dripping water, and a fall and a handful actually made the Naluo Hall Master ashamed of what he said before, he lowered his head and said with a smile: "What the adults teach is... Hey... The grass people are gone... Hey..."
The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction to the man, and praised him again and again for being a handsome man who knew the times. When the man sat down contentedly and the hall resumed talking and laughing, he suddenly turned to He Fengqiu and grinned treacherously as if he were facing a lamb to be slaughtered:
"I wonder what you guys think?"
(ps: One more chapter today, haha, if you still have time later, I'll send another chapter at one o'clock in the morning)
