After the private message is passed on, there will be no disturbance in the capital. Wu Shigong is powerless anyway. At present, he must seize the time to stabilize his rear area and prepare to accumulate strength for more difficult battles in the future.
Just after the New Year, on the seventh day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Wu Shigong sent a message to Guan Kesong, the prefect of Runing Prefecture, asking Guan Kesong to gather all the officials of the prefecture's Yamen on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. And Wu Shigong
When the time comes, we must visit in person to discuss the emergency military situation.
After Guan Kesong received this post, he was really stunned for a long time. This is too irritating. When can a governor use a commanding tone to summon civil servants?
However, Guan Kesong also knew that the people in the Runing Army were all stupid young people. They never interacted with civilians and military forces, and they never followed the rules when they did. Look at that time, he was the general commander of the Runing Army.
He dared to beat the disciple at the gate of the magistrate's office, so Guan Kesong was not surprised by Wu Shigong's attitude.
And now is indeed the time when the peasant rebel army is rampant in Henan. Although I heard recently that the peasant rebel army has stayed away from Runing Mansion, maybe there is something new happening? So Guan Kesong still held back a moment.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, he called all the officials who had gone home to rest during the festival to the Yamen to prepare for discussions with Wu Shigong.
In the early morning of the 13th day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yun put on official robes for Wu Shigong in the room. Wu Shigong's hands were very dishonest and he kept taking advantage of Zhu Yun.
Zhuyun smiled "hee hee", hid behind Wu Shigong, adjusted Wu Shigong's back, and said: "Uncle... Master, you are so bad, you know how to touch it with your hands, and even the servants can't take off your official robe."
Tidy up."
Wu Shigong finally stopped being naughty and let Zhu Yun sort it out. He said with a smile: "Now your mother, Aunt Qiu, has returned to the capital, so you don't have to follow the rules if you don't want to. Master, uncle and husband, you love
Whatever you call it is up to you, I won’t care. However, in situations, you still have to follow the rules?"
"This is not good!" Zhu Yun hesitated, "When Sister Xin and the others come back in a few days, and see the house like this, will they blame the servants for not taking care of the house?"
"Xin'er wishes it was like that!" Wu Shigong teased, "Didn't you see the sad look on Aunt Qiu's face when she forced her to change her name to "Master"? Anyway, if Xiner wants to force her to do so, my uncle will do it.
I will make the decision, and the inner house will always be under your control from now on. She will be so angry! Hahaha——!"
"Giggle--!" Zhu Yun also laughed, and after laughing for a while, Zhu Yun continued: "This slave doesn't dare! It's a slave's grave sin to make my uncle's house restless!"
When Zhu Yun said this, her eyes moved. She looked particularly charming. Wu Shigong couldn't help but touch her hands. Seeing that Wu Shigong's official robes had been packed away, Zhu Yun quickly smiled and jumped away.
He smiled and said, "Uncle! Are you in a good mood today?"
Wu Shigong nodded and said: "Of course! I will capture the Runing Mansion today. But, little hoof, don't hide!"
Zhu Yun ran out of the house. Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Shigong stopped teasing his concubine and walked out of his house.
Han Shi immediately led Ren Laifeng to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong jumped on the horse and walked towards Runing Fucheng. At this time, Wu Shigong saw that Deng Qifan who was accompanying him seemed to be very worried, so he asked: "Mr. Deng, what's the matter?
Are you worried?"
Deng Qifan looked around. They were all Wu Shigong's soldiers led by Tao Xin. He was not afraid of being heard by outsiders, so he whispered to Wu Shigong: "Sir, what you are going to discuss with Magistrate Guan today is too risky. If you are caught by the court,
As we all know, there may be stormy waves. According to the students, it is better to take it slow before talking about it. Some things don’t need to be rushed."
Wu Shigong had actually made up his mind a long time ago. He shook his head and said, "I can't wait any longer. If I wait until after the civil uprisings in Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion before implementing it, it may be too late. This time I am determined too."
, even if the prefect Guan does not agree, I will forcefully implement these laws."
"In this battle of Ruzhou, Uncle Yongli led nearly 70% of our Runing army to fight against a small group of Shaanxi bandits, and they almost ended up in a very embarrassing situation. The prisoners captured through questioning also appeared this time.
Just Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, they are not great characters at all (Wu Shigong didn’t know the history, so he didn’t know how famous Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were in the late Ming Dynasty, so Wu Shigong regarded them as minor characters).”
"What if Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng come this time? Their strength is much higher than Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai (Wu Shigong made an empiricist mistake here again, but it is really easy to get along with people who are famous). Then we
Can the Runing army still be able to stop it?"
"To be prepared for danger in times of peace, we just want a stable rear area, which not only cannot cause trouble, but also can provide food and people for our Runing army. Therefore, the implementation of those laws is urgent. I went to the prefect today and he promised
You have to agree, and you have to agree even if you don't agree. To be honest, if he doesn't agree, then we, the Runing Army, will force him to produce his official seal even with a knife."
"Of course, Mr. Deng is also worried. Once this matter gets out, it will definitely be very detrimental to us. But relative to the future of our Runing Army, these risks are worth taking, and our reasoning can also be justified. However,
It's best to let Magistrate Guan take the initiative to cooperate. Otherwise, why should I have a talk with him today?"
Seeing that Wu Shigong had made up his mind, Deng Qifan stopped trying to persuade him.
After Wu Shigong came to the prefect's Yamen, the prefect Guan Kesong and all the officials from the prefect's Yamen had already arrived. Guan Kesong was very well prepared. He even called the magistrate of Fuguo and the magistrates of the two neighboring counties.
come over.
After the group bowed and exchanged New Year greetings, everyone sat down. Guan Kesong stroked his beard and asked, "Why did Wu Dusi come to see me and my colleagues today?"
"Master Magistrate! Sirs!" Wu Shigong cupped his hands in a circle and was quite polite, but what he said next was not polite at all, "What I am going to say later is very important. I hope you will not interrupt me."
, If you have any questions, please wait until I have finished speaking."
The officials sitting in the lobby immediately stared with goldfish eyes in surprise. This Wu Dusi's words were too rude. Fortunately, all the officials present had good self-restraint. They all frowned and listened carefully to Wu Shigong's words.
What to say.
But what Wu Shigong said next made them even more surprised. One county magistrate was so surprised that he couldn't help but interrupt Wu Shigong, but he was angrily scolded by Wu Shigong. However, the magistrate Guan Kesong kept tugging at his beard.
He waited silently for Wu Shigong to finish speaking. Seeing his prefect's attitude, other officials also fell silent.
In fact, what Wu Shigong was talking about were three laws. They were laws that could completely control Runing Mansion.
The first item is the "No Movement Order". The core content of the "No Movement Order" is to prohibit all refugees in Runing Prefecture and strictly implement the Ming Dynasty's road diversion system. If there are still refugees, they will be arrested and punished with hard labor. If there is resistance,
Kill without mercy.
Of course, the difficulty of the "No Movement Order" is how to arrange the refugees, but this is related to the next decree. Wu Shigong's purpose of implementing the "No Movement Order" is to prevent all unrest factors and prevent the possibility of the peasant rebel army rising up.
sex.
The second decree is the "Forbidden Wasteland Order". The "Forbidden Wasteland Order" is complementary to the "No Movement Order". The core content is to prohibit all abandonment of wasteland within the territory of Runing Prefecture.
After the beginning of spring, if there is still land left vacant, whether it is owned by farmers or officials, the land will be returned to the government, that is, the Runing Army will manage it on their behalf. The Runing Army will only pay some symbolic land rent, and then take over the captured refugees.
Settled in those abandoned lands to cultivate and work.
The third decree is the "Prohibition of Theft Order". As the name suggests, from the literal meaning, the "Prohibition of Theft Order" prohibits any banditry in Runing Mansion. The Runing Army will conduct a zero-tolerance encirclement and suppression of all bandits.
, and they will kill without mercy.
But there is another important point in the "Prohibition on Theft Order", and that is the strict implementation of the Baojia system. There are even some perverted regulations. For example, Baojia, who has no intention of sheltering gangsters on the run, is still subject to full Baojia; for example, in Runing Mansion, all families
Birds are not allowed, not even a canary. The Runing Army did this to prevent all news in the Runing Mansion from being transmitted through carrier pigeons.
Moreover, the "Prohibition on Theft Order" also stipulates that all residents who live in Runing Mansion within three years must be placed under residential surveillance. This regulation also prevents outside spies from inquiring about the Runing Army.
The prefect Guan Kesong listened quietly to the three decrees Wu Shigong said. He also understood that if he followed what Wu Shigong said, then Runing Mansion would indeed be at peace.
But how should these three laws be implemented? If they are enforced, it will definitely cause great public dissatisfaction. It is easier to say that the "Prohibition on Movement" and "Prohibition on Theft" are just the public dissatisfaction of ordinary people. Guan Kesong asked himself that this is a problem
Not big.
But who is the "Famine Prohibition Order" facing? It must be the big landowners who have a lot of land and feel that recruiting tenant farmers to cultivate in disaster years is not worth the loss! If it is forcibly taken back to the government, it will be lively. Guan Kesong realizes
I can't bear this kind of pressure.
Of course, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the prefect did have the power to issue decrees in his own government. The ridiculous decree that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps" can still be issued.
And today Guan Kesong also saw that the reason why Wu Shigong wanted to discuss with people like himself was simply to issue these three decrees through himself. So after Wu Shigong finished speaking, Guan Kesong prepared a rhetoric and wanted to tactfully
Although Wu Shigong was reluctant to implement the "Prohibition on Famine", he still left Wu Shigong a face and was ready to agree to the implementation of the "Prohibition on Flow" and "Prohibition on Theft". (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and more updated novels.
