Chapter 347 The Forbidden City Turn
Chapter 347: Forbidden City
The fire in Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, was not affected by the mansion of Liu Shunhua, the surrounding households were not affected. Afterwards, the panicked thousand households of the Jinyiwei of Zhejiang and the yamen runners of Hangzhou Prefecture entered the fire to search and found dozens of corpses of men and women.
He was burned and his body was charred and his face was beyond recognition. He could not tell what he used to be. If this kind of thing is being investigated in depth, many people will have corresponding troubles in recent years, such as Hangzhou Prefecture, which is neglecting his duties and the Jinyiwei who is monitoring nearby.
Therefore, the document reported that the weather was dry and the fire was not enough to be put out. Therefore, the family of the Zhejiang governor Liu Shunhua, who was sick at home, was burned to death by the fire. The governor was burned to death in the mansion. The incident sounded quite a bit, but Liu Shunhua had faded out of everyone's sight for a long time.
The center of the court said that a person who was out of power was sick at home, and that he did not have any background or family governor, so he did not show any too much concern. The above was just a light statement and said it deeply, and there was no sound. Liu Shunhua's father-in-law's family had long expressed his attitude towards this daughter. The daughters of the big family were often tools for giving kindness and marriage, and there was no comment.
If there was no history of Jiang Feng's time travel, the current Emperor Jiajing should have wiped out all the forces against him inside and outside the court. His confidants and subordinates firmly controlled all the key departments and centers of the court. Jiajing was gradually fascinated by Taoism.
He began to refine alchemy to seek immortality, and Taoist priest Shao Yuanjie gradually gained power in the court. All this is a history that should have happened. However, the current Emperor Jiajing is more obsessed with Taoism than at that time. He claimed that he had obtained the law of gods and immortals all day long and no longer paid attention to the government affairs.
In the Yongning Palace in the Forbidden City, it is now commonly known as immortal clouds and auspiciousness. However, the Censor and the Qingliu said in a heartbreaking voice: It is a place for seeking immortals and refining elixirs. The sculptures are exquisite. At first glance, it is the Three Qing statues created by the emperor. A Taoist priest kept dancing and roaming there, and there were many Taoist priests who followed the ceremony.
Emperor Jiajing was kneeling there in a luxurious Taoist robe, reciting scriptures respectfully, and seemed to be immersed in it. At this time, Emperor Jiajing was only about thirty years old. His pampered life still made him look quite young. The eunuchs and palace maids standing there did not notice it. The emperor kneeling there opened his eyes slightly and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids next to him.
He clearly remembered that three months ago, he wanted to know about the situation of the reclamation of manors outside the pass. Since they were all opened by officials and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, it was not impossible to collect some taxes. However, the next day, some censors in the court jumped out and suggested that the Ming Dynasty did not need to compete with the people for profit. Regarding the taxes of the Jiangnan handicraft workshop, the debate in the court was not a matter of one or two years of debate. Jiajing didn't care. However, after the information from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei came out, it was said that the land of the manors outside the pass was barren and they were all cultivated by farmers who worked hard to survive.
The emperor also had some secret powers of his own. Although it was not big, and although it was delivered at a relatively slow time, he was a complete emperor. Jiajing learned about some wealth outside the pass and who was controlling these manors. After getting accurate information, Jiajing suddenly remembered the advice of the people for profit some time ago, as well as the information from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and suddenly felt creepy.
Thinking towards the worst situation, Emperor Jiajing suddenly realized that he had become a real lonely man, and everyone was standing on the other side. Obviously, the censors who advised him had already known the order before he left the palace, so they were there to attack.
Moreover, the information between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei was even more nonsense. Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Jinyiwei because all civil and military officials were not used well. Later, Zhu Di founded the Dongchang because the Jinyiwei was not very listened to. Both institutions were controlled by the emperor's most confidant people.
However, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang began to conceal the request. Emperor Jiajing felt that the feeling of walking on thin ice when he first arrived in the capital was now reappearing. He was tolerant but did not have an attack, but was particularly keen on Taoism. Although some censors beat their chests and stamped their feet and advised them with great sincerity, Jiajing ignored these words and just did these things on his own. The bosses in the court also discovered that Emperor Jiajing, who was a man of cold nature, actually missed the old people who had been in the Xingxian Palace in Hubei and began to reminisce about the past.
Liu Shunhua's wives obviously had some of their emotions. They were extremely uncomfortable with the sudden arrival of Hangzhou Prefecture, which was known as a paradise on earth, and of course, their feelings were ignored.
After living in vain for two months, Liu Shunhua finally half-rejectedly began to manage the civil guards of the Jiang family army. The population of the Han army is now close to 330,000, and has been organized into 66 civil guards. Now, in Yizhou (Taiwan), nearly 20,000 people have been recruited in Yizhou (Taiwan).
Because of the barren land, the mountain people in Fujian have always had the tradition of leaving their hometowns to make a living outside. For example, most pirates and Chinese in Southeast Asia may not be willing to go to sea to make a living. Nanyang is a foreigner, which is not a good place to go. It is naturally a good choice to farm safely in Taiwan.
The more than 25,000 people in Taiwan are called the Five Min Guards of the Nanyang, and the Min Guards do not have civil officials and implement military control.
Three hundred and three thousand is already the size of the largest mansion on the mainland. Each civil guard includes civil officials, tutors, income and expenditure documents, and agricultural officials, but only ten people.
The remuneration of these people is provided by the military supplies of the Jiang family army. It takes less than a thousand people to manage so many people. Liu Shunhua was really surprised. Although there were very few people eating imperial grain in various prefectures of the Ming Dynasty, the number of non-staff personnel was several times or dozens of times that of the official ones. This has always been one of the harsh policies and a special place of harassment.
Liu Shunhua studied in the local area for many years, and the capital officers for several years, and the local officials for several years, he learned the so-called knowledge of being an official. He knew very clearly about these things and was full of heart to establish a system of managing civil affairs according to the system of the governor and the yamen of the ranks of the government and the ranks. Who would have thought that seeing the civil and security model of the Jiang family army, he knew that there might be a simpler form to do those things.
I thought I was a Hanlin bachelor's degree, not to mention that I was a talented person, but also an outstanding person. It is easy to manage Shandong and Zhejiang province with nearly 10 million people. Are you still afraid that these small 300,000 people will not be able to do it? But at this time, I was a little unable to do it.
Although he was Jiang Feng's father-in-law, Liu Shunhua knew his status in this foreign land and knew clearly what his son-in-law looked like. Liu Shunhua made an appointment with Jiang Feng in the name of a family banquet through his daughter.
After arriving in Incheon, although it was a large banquet to welcome Liu Shunhua's arrival, this was the first time that the private banquet was held. Liu Fangrui was also very attentive, leading Su Guanyue and Su Guanxue, and then said that Xia Cuiyu was busy all day.
After Jiang Feng spoke out, the female members of the Jiang family also removed a lot of knots about Xia Cuiyu. At the suggestion of his sister, the girl Su Guanxue took the initiative to contact Xia Cuiyu.
After Jiang Feng and Liu Shunhua's son-in-law and son-in-law were both seated in the evening, Liu Fangrui knew that the two men must have something to discuss, but they just ate some casually, chatted for a few words, and then took a group of women to leave the seat.
While sucking the yellow wine in his glass, Jiang Feng was not in a hurry to speak. The civil affairs of the Jiang family army could never rely on these civil officials of the civil officials, because the civil officials of the civil officials were all recommended by people from the same hometown and ethnic group. When they were in Shandong, they had close ties. Civil officials often used to be the role of clan leader.
Therefore, it has a certain degree of independence, that is, after coming to North Korea, the land tax was not collected and the support from multiple sources was stabilized, which would stabilize the people's hearts. Otherwise, the more than 10,000 Jiang family troops would probably be too busy to suppress the dissatisfaction of the civil and military defenses. Now, after more than a year of restoration and settlement, the lives of each household began to slowly recover.
With money in hand and full stomach, there will be such disputes between the various civil and military guards, such as land enclosures and water sources. Often there are endless arguments. When the lawsuit comes to Zhao Xiucai and Jiang Feng, it is really a big deal. If it weren't for the initial establishment of the gang training system, it would have been decided to rotate, otherwise these civil and military guards would have been fighting each other with the force they practiced by the gang.
Jiang Feng has many military personnel, including regular soldiers like Zhang Liang from the official military system, as well as officers like Luo Yi, who trained by Jiang Feng himself, as well as the Yang brothers and the Green Forest Strongman from Weishan Island. These officers are brave and not reckless, and are all outstanding figures.
However, in terms of literati, Liu Shier was good at strategy. Zhao Xiucai became a monk halfway through military supplies, so many things were assisted by Su Guanyue to go smoothly. Wang Qinian and his men did not mention anything related to civil affairs. So at Liu Shier's suggestion, Liu Shunhua was brought from Hangzhou Prefecture. However, Liu Shier said one concern, whether Liu Shunhua could accept such a gap. After all, Liu was from a Hanlin bachelor's degree to a provincial governor, and a senior member of the country, could he turn his mind around.
"Son-in-law, I have to ask for some questions..."
While Jiang Feng was thinking, Liu Shunhua on the opposite side asked a question quite politely, and Jiang Feng smiled slightly.
It seems that my heart has turned a corner.
