Suddenly hearing His Majesty say such words, the servants kneeling in the hall immediately did not dare to speak. Although they were very ignorant, they could not help but feel shocked when they heard such words and did not dare to continue speaking.
Wang Jiayan sighed secretly. Shandong was far less peaceful than he thought before. A celebrity in the Liu Jun School District alone had 30,000 private soldiers, not to mention repression in official uniforms. There was no local news at all.
The court didn't know that he had come up, so didn't the local officials know about it?
Moreover, His Majesty's current strength is only 5,000 Guan Ning troops and 400 to 500 Jinyi guards. Adding some internal servants, the number of miscellaneous people and so on is only 6,000. Now the emperor's soldiers are not as good as a local celebrity?
What is this called? Why does a local celebrity raise so many soldiers? Where do they get so many soldiers? How can they have so much money to support 30,000 soldiers? I am afraid that all the officials in Jiaxiang County will be beheaded.
Zhu Ling sat upright, feeling a little irritable at the moment. It seemed that if he really wanted to settle down in Shandong, he would face more difficulties than just one Liu Zeqing. Just having Liu Zeqing now gave him a headache, and he was even quite afraid of him. Now suddenly
There are so many local heroes.
It's best if it can be used by yourself, otherwise once you capture the intruder, it will be a huge challenge for you.
"I have remembered what you said today in my heart, so go down first. Remember, you have been pardoned by me, but don't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise, you will all be killed."
At this moment, Zhu Ling's heart was full of worries about the situation in Shandong. Naturally, he lost interest in these small officials for a while, so he waved them away. Those few small officials were about to cry when they heard that they were pardoned.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and a feeling of surviving a disaster that had passed through the gates of hell suddenly rushed into the sky.
Just as he was about to retreat in a hurry to go home and reunite with his family, he was suddenly stopped by His Majesty in the hall. He said to them: "Are there any civil servants among you?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I am a villain." Among the officials, a man stood up at a loss.
"You go back and write a notice, saying that His Majesty will come in person and will live here for a few days. Completely replace the previous responsibilities of knowing the state. If there is any injustice or miscarriage of justice, you can come to the government office tomorrow to appeal. In addition, Hejian Mansion will start today
From now on, everyone will be exempted from taxes. After that, all of you will sign your names and it will be posted throughout the city tonight. That's it, go on."
After hearing this, more than a dozen people did not dare to imagine such words, but they did not dare to ask, so they bowed respectfully and withdrew again.
After they left, Wang Jiayan didn't understand what they meant, but he felt that something was wrong with the matter. He hurriedly raised his hands and asked: "I don't know what your Majesty meant by this? Why do you need to temporarily try the case? The situation is tense now.
, is this approach a bit unnecessary? Liu Zeqing in Jinan has not yet been dealt with by us, and now there are some bandits and celebrities supporting troops in the west. Shaanxi and Shanxi are even more entrenched by thieves, and they will attack Shandong at any time, and the situation is also
As the crisis becomes more and more critical, how can you still have the leisure to deal with these things?"
After hearing this, Fan Xianchao, who was standing opposite, couldn't help but nodded. He also believed that this move was extremely inappropriate. With their current strength, even Liu Zeqing could not be safely captured. According to this situation, the issue of soldiers' pay should be solved first.
There is really no need to use extra energy to get distracted.
On the other hand, Wang Guoxing remained silent and stood there calmly. Meng Zhangming, however, kept thinking deeply. Regarding what Wang Jiayan said, he only said that it still needs to be discussed. After all, His Majesty is not boring and has profound meaning.
"Since ancient times, water can carry a boat and capsize it. You have heard this sentence dozens of times. I also know that the situation is tense now, but if we want to develop in Shandong, the people must be the most important. I don't want to
You are fighting in the front, and the people in the rear are being instigated by intruders to rebel."
Zhu Ling suddenly did this because he was worried that there would be some people like this in Cangzhou. They were related to bandits and rebels. But he had no idea that if something major was discovered in advance, it would be extremely serious. This suddenly reminded him of the time when the teacher was still alive.
In other words, we must fully mobilize the people and make this war a war between us and the people and the enemy.
So we won this war from the beginning. What Ming Dynasty lacks most now is the support of the people, that is, the people's hearts and minds. Where did Li Zicheng's army come from? Isn't it just that the people surrendered in large numbers? If the imperial court could win the people's hearts and minds
After taking it back, the intruders were naturally defeated. And the slaves outside the customs naturally dealt with it much better.
"If the people's hearts are restored, it will be no problem for break-ins. As you said, you don't have the energy. I have a way in my mind to call some capable officials from various places and let them handle this. We seem to be short of a lot of civil servants here. Wang Qing reluctantly
Even though they are only one, they have been transferred to military attachés by me. However, Meng Zhangming, Fan Xianchao and others are military generals. If there is a shortage of civil servants, they will be recruited."
Zhu Ling talked freely and wanted to take this opportunity to recruit all the capable people recorded in history, such as Shi Kefa of Nanjing, Zhu Dadian who was still in prison at this time, and He Tengjiao, the current censor of Youqiandu.
He had a fatal battle with Jiangyin Dianshi Yan Yingyuan a few years later. He had always remembered these people.
Not poaching them here would be a shame for oneself as a time traveler.
"Does Your Majesty want to re-evaluate them? Or appoint them directly, or I can draw up a charter." Wang Jiayan stepped forward and asked. He mostly does the duties of civil servants now. But there is nothing he can do. Who can let His Majesty do it?
Zi asked Li Banghua and others to go to Yingtian, leaving only him.
"There is no need for charters or anything like that for the time being. I have a plan in my mind. But you can help me write a few articles, call those people over, and speak nice words. At least don't let them lose hope.
"
Zhu Ling raised his hands and flicked his sleeves, and said calmly.
"Then I will deal with this matter urgently, so as not to let the people lose their loyalty. Secondly, Your Majesty also needs to carefully consider the officials, big and small, for example, do you want to conduct a thorough investigation, or do you want to let them all go? Or let some go and kill some.
We need to take good care of everything. Cangzhou is also something that His Majesty must manage well, so we must not neglect it."
Wang Jiayan raised his hands and said one by one, "His Majesty still has to say important things. Now that there is no cabinet, even if he has some opinions, he really keeps them in his heart."
"You still have to kill. Some people have been entrenched for too long. It's time to move. Besides, if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, it's not just as simple as trying the case. This time, Fan Xianchao accompanied the case and stayed in the capital.
After a while, let’s take a good look at what kind of life the people live.”
"The general will obey the order!" Fan Xianchao responded and bowed.
"Secondly, I have always remembered something. As far as I know, King Lu is still in Yanzhou." Zhu Ling suddenly changed the topic and talked about King Lu, his tone even more severe.
"Yes, Your Majesty. King Lu has not left. According to court rules, vassal kings from all over the country are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without any reason. Therefore, His Highness King Lu has been staying in the fiefdom." This time, Wang Guoxing bowed to answer.
"I want to see him, let someone call him over." Zhu Ling said this in an extremely calm tone, and those who didn't know thought he really missed him.
"Then may I ask, Your Majesty, who will you send?"
"Any small school is enough. Should we ask someone to set up a guard of honor to invite him over?"
