Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 89: step by step

Wang Xueshan's palms were sweaty. When Xiao Xuanchou, Zhang Yubo and others went in to check and inquire, they didn't sit and wait outside the fence. Although some soldiers and armor could be recovered in the previous field, there was no bloodstain of fighting, but it was trampled in a bad way. The truth is naturally clear at a glance. The more than 20 rogues who escaped before also asked about the details of the escape. Although Lin Fu sent someone to copy the back path, it was a bit inauthentic, and what he did was really not excessive.

Wang Xueshan had the heart to kill Chen Zhi with a thousand swords: he led more than 500 troops and lured nearly 600 marketers to follow him. As a result, more than 500 troops lost their armor and fled back, and more than 500 marketers were captured.

How incompetent is it to achieve such a "brilliant record", why didn't he just kill him?

Wang Xueshan stared at Chen Zhi who was bound to Wuhua. Although he wanted to kill him, he couldn't kill him in front of Qin Chengbo and Gu Wuchen. He even wanted to prevent Chen Zhi from convincing Gu Wuchen that the past was not good for him. his life.

"Master Wang, can we interrogate Chen Zhi, Wei Dongcheng now? Or should they be sent to Jiangdao Prison to be detained first, and then they will be interrogated by the Fifth Division in another day; ?" Of course Gu Wuchen wouldn't let Wang Xueshan go, and pressed on.

Chen Zhi was put in Jiangdao prison for trial, and the initiative was completely handed over to Gu Wuchen. Who knew that Gu Wuchen would take out something unfavorable for him from Chen Zhi's mouth. Of course Wang Xueshan would not do it; The three divisions of the hospital held a trial. Chen Zhi was not qualified to enjoy it, and Wang Xueshan naturally didn't want to enjoy it. According to what his staff Ma Weihan said, he knew that tonight he had to step back in court to satisfy Gu Wuchen. He cupped his hands and said, "There are people in the five divisions tonight, and Lord Qin will be burdened..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all for the court, there's nothing to be tired of," Qin Chengbo said with a squinted smile, he didn't want to cause such a big political turmoil when he was about to leave Jiangning, and was also afraid that Gu Wuchen would take Wang Xueshan The turmoil caused by the overthrow will involve himself. On the other hand, Wang Xueshan has to bow his head to Gu Wuchen and compromise, and to be a witness for himself, is there any benefit? What if he stayed up all night and didn't sleep, then said, "Dongyang Juzi Lin Siyu is still imprisoned in the cottage. He not only has no faults, but also has great achievements. How can we bear to see him blame himself to the point of being a servant?"

Even if Wang Xueshan had the heart to peel and eviscerate Lin Fu, at this time he praised Lin Fu as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the world.

Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, and Gu Wuchen are going to interrogate Dongcheng Wei Chen Zhi for dereliction of duty, false reporting, and framing. The tribunal should also pretend to be present. Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and others were witnesses, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to leave. They couldn't return to the city at night anyway.

The two elite battalions of Jiangning's garrison town army and Qin Chengbo and others relaxed their vigilance at this time, all entered the fence, and stayed in the open space within the south gate of the fence. The few soldiers and armor left by the Dongchengwei troops who had come under threat were all disarmed and taken care of; the twenty or so city rogues who had escaped by chance were no longer lucky this time, and naturally they were also detained in the high wall together. Pending.

It was noisy outside, but Lin Fu, who had been imprisoned in the cottage, had been sitting in front of the desk reading a book. He heard Zhou Pu say that Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and others had come over, so he quickly took off his clothes and left Zhou Pu half-naked. Pu helped tie a few thorns to his back, and knelt in front of the hall with his back door, pretending to be full of thorns to plead guilty. Liu Yue'er and Xiao Man also temporarily lived in the surrounding house, not on the side of the cottage, otherwise he would be serving as a prisoner here with two beautiful maids. No.

"What are you doing? It's me and Zhang Wendeng's oversight, condoning Dongcheng Wei Chen Zhi to frame Xianliang and hurt you. How can you make the old man feel at ease when you do this?" Kneeling in front of the crowd, even though he wanted to step forward and kick his mother's feet, he was busy with his hands and half hugged him up, comforting him not to blame himself in a very remorseful and deplorable tone.

Qin Chengbo, Gu Wuchen, etc. watched Wang Xueshan perform there. Zhang Wendeng, the right officer, was the most depressing. Chen Zhi, the Dongcheng captain, was instigated by Wang Xueshan for his stupid actions today. Wang Xueshan chose him to share the responsibility. Zhang Bu opened his mouth to refute himself, and cursed in his heart: When it is useless, throw it aside and don't care about anything and enjoy little benefit; when it is useful, pull the blame.

Lin Fu also pretended to be, so he took off the thorns and put on his clothes, and gave Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and other adults a new salute. His official position is the lowest, from the ninth rank, and the lower is the official, and he walked around. After the ceremony, there were not enough seats in the hall, so he could only stand there with Ge Siyu to listen. Ge Siyu was still a ninth-rank official. Although he had no real power, his official position was slightly higher than his.

"Bring the criminal Chen Zhi here," Qin Chengbo instructed, and then asked Gu Wuchen, "There are too many people here, and it is inconvenient to interrogate, should we find another place? If it hurts, you can participate in the interrogation.”

The bamboo hall has not been built. Apart from the surrounding houses where the refugees live, only this cottage looks a little like that. The others are either shacks or round warehouses. Uncle Qin and the others could not be allowed to interrogate Chen Zhi in the shack. Although Xiao Xuanchou and the others were many high-ranking officials of the fifth rank, they could only honestly retreat outside and wait in front of Uncle Qin.

It is false to interrogate Chen Zhi and let others step down. It is true that Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan negotiate and compromise to maintain the current balance of Jiangning City.

Lin Funeng attended and entrusted his relationship with Gu Wuchen. Naturally, he did not have the qualifications to speak. He could only watch how this political transaction was carried out with a cold eye. Chen/Yuanliang recorded with pen and ink. Like Zhang Yubo, he was labeled as the Dongyang Township Party. Qin Chengbo named him to participate. In name, he had the first merit tonight, while Zhang Yubo was not strict when he joined the army as the Jiangning government secretary. In fact, when he asked Wang Xueshan to reach out for benefits, he tended to favor Gu Wuchen.

There were three people on Gu Wuchen's side, Qin Chengbo was in the middle to mediate the ruling, and Wang Xueshan was alone - Wang Xueshan could only recognize it, who put him at a complete disadvantage at this time?

"Today, Chen Zhi, the commander of Dongcheng, led his subordinates, and also brought in more than 1,000 people from the market. They practiced more than 1,000 acres of land and property. The tenants and landowners were damaged.

"Moling County will check the physical damage, and Jiangning Prefecture will make up for it." Wang Xueshan said.

"It's also because the road is narrow and difficult for everyone to practice. The river mouth will be the main source of supplementary aid for the prison island. The road and Jin are blocked, and the inspector's office must be inspected..." Gu Wuchen said.

"The funds for the road construction will be shared equally by the merchants in Moling County, Jiangning Prefecture, Yudao and Hekou?" Wang Xueshan said, Gu Wuchen clearly said that he was exercising the supervisory power of the Commissioner, but in fact he was threatening property. If Gu Wuchen was only threatening property It's easy to handle, but unfortunately this is just the beginning of Gu Wuchen's conditions, and the follow-up is still to come.

"The documents issued by Jiangning Mansion for arresting Zhao Qinmin have many doubts, and the commissioner must investigate..." Gu Wuchen said.

"Most of Zhao Qinmin's crimes are most likely to be framed by Chen Zhi, Wei Dongcheng. Chen Zhi is imprisoned today, and the charges against Zhao Qinmin are naturally suspicious. Jiangning Prefecture should find out by itself, and then deal with it together with the Commissioner." Wang Xueshan still does not know Zhao Qinmin was spared, but he knew that the public arrest documents could only be withdrawn.

"Today's imprisoned Shijing'er is imprisoned at his own expense. Except for the four who killed the mob, Xu's family members took the body, the other mob can be punished a little, and the ministers should give them the opportunity to repent and reform; at the same time, the Shijing'er The intrusion of the broken fence has caused millions of material damages to the Hekou refugee camp, and the money from Shijing's atonement may be used to supplement the Jiyun Society to help the refugees..." Gu Wuchen said.

"Of course." Wang Xueshan said. He didn't believe that there were so many losses in the fence. He calculated in his heart that if each person's redemption money was 10,000 yuan, the five hundred and forty-six people who were arrested could extort more than 5 million yuan and convert them into silver. Four thousand five hundred taels, the loss in the fence can be about one tenth. Anyway, this money was extorted from these unlucky marketers who were caught. Wang Xueshan has nothing to feel bad about. Besides, Gu Wuchen also wants to get some benefits for his followers. There is no oil or water. Who will follow him?

"It should be." Qin Chengbo also said, but he thought that the benefits of Wang Xueshan's personal promise should be far more than this, so he did not say anything about dividing the spoils.

"Dongcheng Wei Chen Zhi is greedy and greedy, and needs to be dismissed for investigation. Dongcheng Wei's soldiers and soldiers are really unbearable. According to the responsibility of the inspector and envoy, I recommend Liu Xilin, the deputy commander of the Yunqi of Dongyang House, to take his place; Yousi Kou joins the army. Zhang Wendeng is not strict with his subordinates, so he should also take responsibility for it, so Wei Dongcheng temporarily relinquishes to Zuo Sikou to join the army, what do you think?" Gu Wuchen said.

Wang Xueshan changed color, Gu Wuchen asked for money and things, he could agree, Dongcheng Wei used Gu Wuchen's personal, and then transferred Dongcheng Wei to Zuo Secretary Kou Zhang Yubo's jurisdiction, according to the inspection and envoy division. Down, that is, the consciousness handed over the security rights of Dongcheng and the suburbs of Dongcheng to Gu Wuchen.

Lin Bie sighed slightly beside him, Liu Xilin and Gu Wuchen are not very close, and he was only the deputy commander of Yunqi, the military officer of the seventh rank in Dongyang Mansion, and he became the captain of Dongcheng of the sixth rank. It also just exposed the drawback that Gu Wuchen had too few people to use.

"I think it can..." Qin Chengbo said, "Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang, once told me about this Liu Xilin in a letter, but I didn't expect Master Gu to recognize it. Shen Rong said that this Liu Xilin is a rare general. Rong's words can always be trusted, not to mention that the soldiers of Dongchengwei do need to be trained."

"When I took office, I arrived in Jiangning from Shiliang, and Liu Xilin led a horse to **** me. After getting along for a few days, I felt that it was useful. Recommending generals to the imperial court is also the duty of inspectors and military preparations, and I dare not slack off." Gu Wuchen said. .

Lin Fu thought that Liu Xilin's background might not be simple. Even Jiangning's garrison general Qin Chengbo had heard of his name, and Gu Wuchen and Shen Rong should also be in close contact, otherwise they would not have taken Dongyang Mansion without Shen Rong's acquiescence. He was transferred to Jiangning, but he also thought that Liu Xilin had a straight temperament. It might be better to follow a strong and capable officer like Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang. If he came to Jiangning, he would not be able to adapt to the complicated officialdom of intrigue.

After all, Lin Fu was not qualified to interject. Gu Wuchen wanted to transfer Liu Xilin, but he couldn't persuade him. Besides, Liu Xilin came here as Gu Wuchen's person, and he has a good relationship with him. In the future, he will be of great help to Jiyun Society. At least in Moling County and Jiangning Dongcheng, there is no need to worry about any hostile forces that are not good for him.

"Master Gu, what else do you want, please say it together." Wang Xueshan said that it was almost his limit to cede the security rights of the Dongcheng area, but Qin Chengbo supported Gu Wuchen in this matter, and he beat him again. He made up his mind to satisfy Gu Wuchen, even if he was depressed, he could only admit it, but he gradually became impatient when he spoke.

"There are no other more requirements, the grain is going north, and the imperial capital is urgently needed. According to the post of the inspector and the superintendent of the water, I must ask Lord Wang to cooperate with you." Gu Wuchen said.

For the Chu Party to take control of the center, it cannot but rely on the wealth of the southeast, and the grain supply is the most important one. At that time, there was no governor in charge of the transportation of water, and in the counties that the water route passed through, the affairs of water were all supervised by the yamen, the inspector.

During the war in East Fujian, the transportation of grain from Yanjing to the southeast dropped sharply from 6 million shi in previous years to less than 2 million shi. Now that the war in East Fujian has ended, it is said that the supply of grain transportation should return to the level of more than 6 million shi, in order to alleviate the situation. The urgent need for food in the north. Ordinarily speaking, the actual situation is that the southeastern counties have found all kinds of excuses, such as the just ending the war, the need to rest with the people, and the deduction of military funds previously advanced, and they are unwilling to increase the supply of grain to the north.

It is said that Jiangdong County, including Jiangning Prefecture, should increase the grain output to Yanjing this year from 600,000 shi to 2 million shi. Gu Wuchen’s writing in the prefectures and counties has only 200,000 shi, and this new increase of 200,000 shi Half of the 10,000-stone grain can be converted into silver at the current price of Jiangdong County.

In Jiangdong, the land of fish and rice, the price of grain is high and cheap, and only five yuan per pound of polished rice, but in Yanjing, one pound of polished rice costs eleven or two yuan. The price of water in each prefecture and county is to be converted into silver at the local price of rice. This part of the money can only be purchased in Yanjing to buy less than half of the rice. In fact, the local government is unwilling to bear the high cost of water transportation.

Based on this calculation, the grain output from Jiangdong County to Yanjing this year can be increased to 750,000 stone at most, which is too far from the request made by Zhang Xie, the deputy minister, when Gu Wuchen left Beijing. Zhang Xie hopes that Jiangdong County, including Jiangning House, will be there. The grain output to Yanjing this year can reach 1 million to 1.2 million shi.

The Chu Party does not have much power in Jiangdong County, and it is difficult for Gu Wuchen to promote this work. Others can always find enough excuses to refuse to cooperate. He wants to open the gap directly from Jiangning House.

After Gu Wuchen went to Jiangning, he discussed the matter with Wang Xueshan several times. He hoped that Jiangning House could actually increase the shipment of 200,000 stone of polished rice to Yanjing.

Wang Xueshan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he also had a little understanding of the situation Gu Wuchen was in: Zhang Xie, the leader of the Chu Party, was the chief money and grain officer of the Dayue Dynasty. The over-completion of the grain collection in Jiangdong County will not only help him gain a firm foothold in Jiangning, but also stabilize his position within the Chu Party, and even gain the trust and respect of Deputy Minister Zhang Xie. In order for the Chu Party to finally gain a firm foothold in the center and expel the Western Qin Party from the imperial capital, there are several tasks that need to be forced to be completed, one of which is to ease the financial pressure on the center.

Even if the 200,000 stone grains are 200,000 taels of silver at the price of Yanjing rice, the counties can barely handle it. 's supply. It will be extremely difficult to restore the lost supply, and it will be extremely difficult if you want to lower it again. From now on, you will have to pump an extra 400,000 silver from Jiangning every year to maintain the cost of the court~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wang Xueshan knows that he has not negotiated with Gu Wuchen at this time. However, it was easy for him to verbally promise Gu Wuchen. The key point was that Wang Xueshan could not produce 400,000 stone of polished rice every year from his own family. Spreading it down layer by layer, how to resolve the local resistance is a headache. Wang Xueshan knows that there will be great resistance within the Jiangning government.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?" Gu Wuchen asked urgently.

"Can you reduce the amount you discussed with me before?" Wang Xueshan asked. At this time, he was a little relieved. Even if Gu Wuchen brought him down and another Jiangning governor took office, even if this person was also a member of the Chu Party, he cooperated with Gu Wuchen and wanted to take an extra 200,000 stone from Jiangning House this year. It's too late to get food. What's more, compared with the factions such as the Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party in the DPRK, China and the West, the Chu Party still has much less connections. The Chu Party may not have a suitable candidate to compete for the position of Governor of Jiangning. In this way, Gu Wuchen really won't be in a hurry to overthrow it. After all, it doesn't do him much good.

Thinking of this, Wang Xueshan also bargained with Gu Wuchen.

"The previous number, I still think it's not enough." Gu Wuchen said with narrowed eyes, he had previously proposed to Jiangning House to increase the supply of grain by 200,000 stone without grasping Wang Xueshan's handle. How could he be willing to give in at this time?
