Wang Xueshan's palms were sweaty. When Xiao Xuanchou, Zhang Yubo and others went in for inspection and questioning, they did not sit around and wait outside the fence. Qin Chengbo sent his followers to carefully examine the injured Dongcheng Lieutenant. Most of them had injuries from falls and abrasions.
Although some soldiers and armor could still be recovered from the field in front of them, there was no bloodstain of fighting and fighting. They were just trampled to a terrible extent. The truth was naturally obvious. More than twenty market scoundrels who had escaped before also asked about the details of their escape.
, although it was a bit unethical for Lin Fu to send people to copy his retreat, what he did was really not excessive.
Wang Xueshan had the intention to cut Chen Zhi into pieces with thousands of swords: he led more than 500 people and lured nearly 600 people from the market to follow him. As a result, more than 500 people abandoned their armor and fled back, and more than 500 people from the market were captured.
How incompetent do you have to be to achieve such a "glorious record"? Why didn't he just crash to death?
Wang Xueshan stared at Chen Zhi who was tied up by Wu Huada. Although he had the intention to kill him, he could not 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. Wang Xueshan had just promised in private to keep him safe.
His life.
"Sir Wang, can we interrogate Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi now? Should he be imprisoned in Jiangdao Prison first, and then interrogated after the five divisions are brought together at a later date; or should he be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial
?" Of course Gu Wuchen would not let Wang Xueshan go, and pressed forward step by step.
Taking Chen Zhi to Jiangdao Prison to await trial, the initiative was completely given to Gu Wuchen. Who knew what Gu Wuchen would take out of Chen Zhi's mouth that was detrimental to him. Of course Wang Xueshan would not do it; the Ministry of Punishments, Dali Temple and Ducha
Chen Zhi was not qualified to enjoy the joint trial of the three divisions of the hospital. Wang Xueshan naturally did not want to enjoy it. According to what his staff Ma Weihan said, he knew that he had to regress in court tonight to satisfy Gu Wuchen. After calming down for a while, he looked towards Qin Cheng Bo Gong.
He cupped his hands and said: "There are people from the five divisions here tonight, and Master Qin will be troubled..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we are all serving the imperial court, there is nothing tiring," Qin Chengbo said with a squinted smile. He did not want to cause such a big political turmoil when he was about to leave Jiangning, and was also afraid that Gu Wuchen would bring Wang Xueshan to justice.
The turmoil caused by the overthrow will involve himself. On the other hand, Wang Xueshan has to bow his head and compromise to Gu Wuchen and bear witness for himself, but he will get less benefits? So what if he stays up all night?
Imprisoned in the thatched cottage, he not only has no fault, but also has great achievements, how can we bear to see him blaming himself to his brother?"
Even if Wang Xueshan had the intention to skin and bone Lin Fu, he still praised Lin Fu as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the world. He wanted to invite Lin Fu out together with Qin Chengbo and Gu Wuchen to reward him.
Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, and Gu Wuchen wanted to interrogate Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi that night for dereliction of duty, false reporting, and frame-up. Xiao Xuanchou, Zhang Yubo, Chen Yuanliang, and even the Xuanfu envoy and the subordinates sent by the Admiral's Office were inconvenient to leave, even if they could not participate in the actual
They had to pretend to be present during the interrogation. Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and others were witnesses, so naturally it was inconvenient for them to leave. Anyway, they couldn't return to the city at night.
The two elite battalions of Jiangning's garrison and the entourage of Uncle Qin Cheng and others relaxed their vigilance at this time, and all entered the fence and stayed in the open space inside the south gate of the fence. The men and horses of Dongcheng Lieutenant who came threateningly were there
The few remaining soldiers were disarmed and put under guard; the twenty or so street scoundrels who had managed to escape before were no longer lucky this time, and were naturally imprisoned inside the high wall to await trial.
It was noisy outside, but Lin Fu, who was imprisoned in the thatched cottage, had been sitting in front of the case and reading a book. When Zhou Pu said that Uncle Qin Cheng, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and others came over, he quickly took off his clothes, half-naked, and asked Zhou Pu
Pu helped tie a few thorn sticks to his back, and knelt in front of the hall with his back to the door, as if he were carrying the thorn sticks to apologize. Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman also temporarily lived in the surrounding house, not in the thatched cottage, otherwise he would be here.
When the warden has two beautiful maidservants to serve him, it is not a big mistake and he cannot escape even if he is scolded twice.
"What are you doing? It's Zhang Wendeng and I's fault for inadvertently allowing Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi to frame Xianliang, which has harmed you. How can you make me feel at ease by doing this?" As soon as Wang Xueshan entered the door, he saw Lin Fu carrying thorns on his back.
He knelt down in front of everyone. Although he wanted to step forward and kick his mother's feet, his hands rushed over to half-hug him and half-hug him up, and comforted him not to blame himself in a very remorseful and pitiful tone.
Qin Chengbo, Gu Wuchen and others watched Wang Xueshan perform there. Zhang Wendeng, the right commander, was the most depressed. Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi's stupid behavior today was all Wang Xueshan's instigation. Wang Xueshan just dragged him along to share the responsibility. Zhang Wenden also
Zhang did not open his mouth to defend himself, and cursed in his mind: when it is not useful, he will be thrown aside and he will not be able to care about anything, and he will not enjoy any benefits; when it is useful, he will be dragged along to take the blame.
Lin Fu just pretended to be pretentious, then took off the wattle sticks, put on his clothes, and saluted Uncle Qin Cheng, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and other adults. His official position was the lowest, starting from the ninth rank, and the lower ones were officials. He walked around in a circle
After the ceremony, there were not enough seats in the hall, so he had to stand there with Ge Siyu to listen. Ge Siyu was 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 ordered, and asked Gu Wuchen, "There are too many people here, and it is inconvenient to interrogate. Should we find another place? Chen Zhixian is the one who made the first contribution, and Lin Siyuan is also suffering.
If you are harmed, you can participate in the interrogation."
The Bamboo Hall has not been built. Apart from the enclosed houses where the refugees live, this thatched cottage is the only one that looks somewhat decent. The others are either shacks or round warehouses. Uncle Qin Cheng and others cannot be allowed to interrogate Chen Zhi, Xiao Xuanchou and others in the shacks.
Although there were many high-ranking officials of the fifth rank, in front of Uncle Qin Cheng, he could only honestly retreat outside and wait.
The interrogation of Chen Zhi is a lie and asking the others to stand down. The negotiation and compromise between Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan to maintain the current balance in Jiangning City is the truth.
The fact that Lin Fun was able to attend was due to his relationship with Gu Wuchen, so he was naturally not qualified to speak, so he could only watch with cold eyes how this political transaction was carried out. Chen/Yuanliang recorded it with pen and ink. Like Zhang Yubo, he was labeled as Dongyang Township.
Labeled by the party, Qin Chengbo asked him to participate by name. Nominally, he had the first contribution tonight. However, Zhang Yubo, as the Jiangning Prefecture's military commander, had the fault of not being strict when joining the army. In fact, he was leaning towards Gu Wuchen when Wang Xueshan was asking for benefits.
There were three people on Gu Wuchen's side, Qin Chengbo was in the middle to mediate and decide, and Wang Xueshan was alone - Wang Xueshan had no choice but to admit it. Who put him at a complete disadvantage at this time?
"Today Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi led his troops and also led more than a thousand people from the market to cultivate more than a thousand acres of farmland, causing damage to the tenant farmers. The inspector must pay attention..." Gu Wuchen said.
"The physical damage will be checked by Moling County and Jiangning Prefecture will make up for all the damage," Wang Xueshan said.
"Everyone is working on the fields because the roads are narrow and difficult to navigate. This side of the river will be an important source of relief for Prison Island. The roads are impassable, so the inspector must pay attention..." Gu Wuchen said.
"The funds for road construction will be shared equally among the merchants in Moling County, Jiangning Prefecture, Prison Island and Hekou, okay?" Wang Xueshan said. Gu Wuchen said that he was exercising the supervisory power of the Inspector General, but in fact he was blackmailing property. If Gu Wuchen was just blackmailing property,
It's easy to handle, but it's a pity that this is just the beginning of Gu Wuchen's conditions, and the follow-up is still to come.
"The document issued by Jiangning Mansion to arrest Zhao Qinmin contains many doubts, so the Procuratorate must investigate..." Gu Wuchen said.
"Most of Zhao Qinmin's crimes are most likely framed by Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi is imprisoned today, and the charges against Zhao Qinmin are naturally suspicious. The Jiangning Mansion should find out on its own, and then work with the Prosecutor's Office to deal with it." Wang Xueshan still doesn't know.
Let Zhao Qinmin go, but he also knows that the public arrest documents can only be withdrawn.
"Everyone in the market who was imprisoned today is responsible for his own fault. Except for the four thugs who were killed on the spot and their families were allowed to collect their bodies, the other thugs can only be punished slightly. All the officials should give them a chance to repent and make a new start; at the same time, all the children in the market should be given a chance to repent."
Breaking the fence and invading caused millions of property damage to the refugee camp at the mouth of the river, and the money from the merchant's atonement may be used to reimburse Jiyun Society to help the refugees..." Gu Wuchen said.
"Of course." Wang Xueshan said. He didn't believe that there were so many losses within the fence. He calculated in his mind that based on the atonement money of 10,000 yuan per person, the 546 arrested businessmen could extort more than 5 million yuan, which is equivalent to silver.
More than 4,500 taels, the loss within the fence was about one-tenth. Anyway, this money was extorted from these unlucky traders who were caught. Wang Xueshan had nothing to feel bad about. Besides, Gu Wuchen also had to pay for
His subordinates are getting some benefits but have no profit at all. Who will follow him?
"This is what it should be." Uncle Qin Cheng also said, but he thought in his heart that the benefits Wang Xueshan granted him personally should be far more than this, so he did not say anything about dividing the spoils.
"Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi is derelict and corrupt, and needs to be dismissed from his post and investigated. Dongcheng Lieutenant's soldiers are incompetent. According to the inspector's duty, he is responsible for military preparation. Mr. Wang and I recommend Liu Xilin, the deputy lieutenant of Yunqi of Dongyang Prefecture, to take his place; You Si Kou joins the army.
Zhang Wendeng is not strict with his subordinates, so he must bear the responsibility for it. Dongcheng Lieutenant is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Zuo Sikou and joins the army. What do you think?" Gu Wuchen said.
Wang Xueshan suddenly changed his mind. He agreed to Gu Wuchen's demands for money and goods. Dongcheng Lieutenant used Gu Wuchen's personal property and transferred Dongcheng Lieutenant under the jurisdiction of Zuo Sikou Zhang Yubo. According to the inspection and envoy division, he also had the right to prepare troops for the government army. Such conditions agreed.
After that, he consciously handed over the security rights of Dongcheng and the suburbs of Dongcheng to Gu Wuchen.
It also exposed the shortcomings of having too few people available to Gu Wuchen.
"I think it's OK..." Uncle Qin Cheng said, "Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang, once told me about this Liu Xilin in a letter. I didn't expect Master Gu to recognize him. Shen Rong said that this Liu Xilin was a rare general. I want Shen
Rong's words can always be trusted, not to mention Dongcheng Wei's soldiers do need training."
"When I took office, I arrived in Jiangning from Shiliang, and Liu Xilin led his cavalry to escort me. After spending a few days together, I felt that I could be used. Recommending generals to the court was also the duty of the inspector general and military preparation officer. I didn't dare to slack off." Gu Wuchen said.
.
Lin Fu thought that Liu Xilin's background might not be simple. Even Jiangning garrison general Qin Chengbo had heard of his name. Moreover, Gu Wuchen and Shen Rong should also have close contact, otherwise they would not have moved Dongyang Mansion without Shen Rong's acquiescence. Some people were transferred to Jiangning, but they thought that Liu Xilin was an outspoken person, so it might be better to follow a strong and capable officer like Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang. If he came to Jiangning, he might not be able to adapt to the complicated and cunning officialdom here.
After all, Lin Fu was not qualified to interrupt. Gu Wuchen wanted to transfer Liu Xilin, but he couldn't persuade him. Besides, Liu Xilin was Gu Wuchen's person, and he had a good relationship with him. He would be very helpful to Jiyun Society in the future, at least in Moling County. Jiangning Dongcheng and Jiangning don't have to worry about any hostile forces openly fighting against him.
"Master Gu, if you have any other requests, please tell me." Wang Xueshan said. Giving up the security rights in the Dongcheng area was almost his limit, but Uncle Qin Cheng supported Gu Wuchen in this matter, so he called He made up his mind to satisfy Gu Wuchen. Even though he was depressed, he had no choice but to admit it, but he gradually became a little impatient when he spoke.
"There are no other more requirements. The grain is sent northward. The emperor's capital is in urgent need. According to the Inspector's Office, which has the duty of supervising the canal, I would also like to ask Mr. Wang for your cooperation." Gu Wuchen said.
If the Chu party wanted to take charge of the central government, it had to rely on the wealth in the southeast, and grain transportation was one of the most important items. At that time, there was no governor-general in charge of water transportation. In the counties that the water transportation passed through, all water affairs were supervised by the inspector general, Si Yamen. Gu Wuchen Has the duty of supervising the canal.
During the East Fujian War, the supply of grain transported to Yanjing from the southeast dropped sharply from 6 million shi in previous years to less than 2 million shi. Now that the East Fujian War is over, it is said that the grain supply should return to the level of more than 6 million shi to ease the situation. There is an urgent need for food in the north. Ordinarily speaking, the actual situation is that the southeastern counties have found various excuses, such as the war has just ended and they need to rest with the people, and the military funds they have advanced before have to be deducted, to prevent them from increasing the supply of grain to the north. .
It is said that the amount of grain sent to Yanjing from Jiangdong County, including Jiangning Prefecture, this year should be increased from 600,000 shi to 2 million shi. Gu Wuchen wrote in various prefectures and counties that the number of increased grain shipments from various places was only 200,000 shi, and this new increase of 200,000 shi was Half of the ten thousand shi of grain must be converted into silver at the current price in Jiangdong County.
In the land of fish and rice east of the Yangtze River, grain is plentiful and cheap. A pound of polished rice only costs five cents. But in Yanjing, a pound of polished rice costs eleven or twelve cents. Each prefecture and county has to convert grain into silver at the local rice price. This part of the silver solution Less than half of the rice grains can be purchased only in Yanjing. In fact, the local government is unwilling to bear the high cost of water transportation.
Based on this calculation, Jiangdong County's grain exports to Yanjing this year can be increased to 750,000 shi at most, which is far from the request made by Vice Prime Minister Zhang Xie when Gu Wuchen left the capital. Zhang Xie hoped that Jiangdong County, including Jiangning Mansion, would The amount of grain exported to Yanjing this year could reach 1 million to 1.2 million shi.
The Chu Party does not have much power in Jiangdong County. It will be difficult for Gu Wuchen to promote this work. Others can always find enough excuses to refuse to cooperate. He wants to open a gap directly from Jiangning Mansion.
After Gu Wuchen arrived in Jiangning, he discussed this matter with Wang Xueshan several times, hoping that the Jiangning Mansion could actually transport an additional 200,000 shi of polished rice to Yanjing, which would not increase the burden on the Jiangning Mansion. Wang Xueshan always ignored it.
Wang Xueshan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he also had a slight understanding of the situation Gu Wuchen was in: Chu party leader Zhang Xie, with the post of counselor and political affairs officer, bachelor's degree and minister of household affairs, could be said to be the chief money and grain officer of the Dai Viet Dynasty. If Gu Wuchen
Overfulfilling the grain collection call in Jiangdong County not only helped him gain a foothold in Jiangning, but also stabilized his position within the Chu Party, and gained the trust and respect of Vice Prime Minister Zhang Xie. If the Chu Party wants to be in the center of the Central Committee,
In order to gain a firm foothold and expel the Western Qin Party from the imperial capital, there are several tasks that need to be completed, one of which is to ease the financial pressure on the central government.
Two hundred thousand shi of grain is equivalent to 200,000 taels of silver even if calculated based on the price of rice in Yanjing. If it is shared among the counties, it can barely be met. However, once this gap is opened, I am afraid that another 200,000 shi of fine rice will be added within three years.
It would be extremely difficult to lower the supply once the supply was restored. From now on, an extra 400,000 silver of blood would have to be drawn from Jiangning every year to support the imperial court.
Wang Xueshan knew that he had no conditions to negotiate with Gu Wuchen at this time, but it was easy for him to verbally agree to Gu Wuchen. The key was that Wang Xueshan himself could not afford 400,000 shi of polished rice every year. If it was shared among the layers, how could he resolve the local resistance?
It was a headache. Wang Xueshan knew that there would be great resistance even within the Jiangning government office.
"Master Wang, what do you think?" Gu Wuchen urged.
"Can you reduce the number you discussed with me before?" Wang Xueshan asked. He felt a little relieved at this time. Even if Gu Wuchen overthrew him and another Jiangning governor took office, even if this person was also a member of the Chu party
The middle man, who cooperated with Gu Wuchen tacitly, wanted to extract an additional 200,000 shi of grain from Jiangning Mansion this year, but there was no time. What's more, compared to the Central and Western Qin Party, the Zhejiang Party and other factions, the Chu Party still had much inferior connections.
The party may not have a suitable candidate to compete for the position of Jiangning Governor. In this case, Gu Wuchen really won't be eager to overthrow himself. After all, it won't be of much benefit to him.
When Wang Xueshan thought of this, he bargained with Gu Wuchen.
"I still feel that the previous figure is not enough." Gu Wuchen said with narrowed eyes. Before, he asked Jiangning Mansion to increase the grain transportation supply by 200,000 dan without grasping Wang Xueshan's circumstances. How could he give in now?
