After taking the anti-miasma wine, Fan Xicheng led Zhao Zhixian away in a hurry.
Touching the white jade bracelet with a delicate and moist texture that was like mutton oil, Han Qian called Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin, Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others in for questioning: "We have spread the news this morning.
How come no one has come to visit us yet?"
"Perhaps most people are still waiting and watching," Gao Shao came forward and asked with some confusion, "Since the evidence was wiped out last night, why do we still want to accuse the four surnames of colluding with the prisoners to riot?
Is the news spreading?"
"Although it is said that the indigenous people in Xuzhou have the upper hand, due to wars and famines over the past hundreds of years, there are more than 4,000 households in Wushan and Wushui. And there are more than 1,000 households in and around Qianyang City alone, so their strength is not
Weak, why did several governors of Da Chu find it difficult to gain a foothold in Xuzhou and achieve success?"
Han Qian still had too few available manpower, and he was doubtful about Gao Shao and others. At this time, he closed the door and naturally wanted to explain in detail as much as possible, and said,
“There are simply several reasons. First, the people of guest origin come from different places and move to Xuzhou. They mostly gather in local dialects and form different tribes. The first is that the people of guest origin, especially in recent decades,
Most of the people who moved in due to the war did not have farmland, and most of them relied on the farms or other properties of the wealthy families to work as employees; first, it was only thirteen years since Dachucao was founded, and it had been in control of Jiangnan West Road for even less time.
When will the Chu state return again, they do not have high hopes for Jinling; firstly, the Ma family forms its own lineage in Tanzhou, and those with a little foresight in Xuzhou will go as far as Jinling and closer to Tanzhou - under these circumstances
, it’s damning that the people of guest origin can be in awe of the governor sent by Jinling. The only exception is that they feel a strong survival crisis! Otherwise, how could my father establish himself in Syria? "
"Isn't it a bit hasty to just hint to the big businessmen in the guest list to show their goodwill now?" Gao Shao hesitated for a while when he saw that Han Qian was proudly playing with the two white jade bracelets given by Zhao Zhixian, a doctor of medicine in the state.
, still couldn't help but ask, but he was worried about being scolded and looked at Han Qian eagerly.
"The Third Prince only allocates three million dollars to me every year, but I have to feed you and clothe you. I keep having wine and meat every now and then, and I even give you rewards from time to time to give you peace of mind. Do you think three million dollars is enough?"
What the hell? Now I am not collecting some money quickly in Xuzhou, and you will replenish it for me at a loss? Or do you think that if I want to live a more luxurious life, I still need to go to this poor place to collect money? "
Han Qian glared at Gao Shao angrily and said,
"Even the big families in the guest house are not afraid of us reaching out for money. What they are thinking in their hearts is that my father can unprincipledly support them in competing for profits with the local surnames in Xuzhou and send money to them.
If they come out, they will feel more at ease."
"Your Majesty, you have taught me a lesson," Gao Shao was a scout leader before, and he was more thoughtful than Tian Cheng and Yang Qin. He said with a shy face, "It is necessary to rush for success in this matter. It is impossible to expect those big customers to take the initiative.
In addition to their many hesitations, they are also afraid of the majesty of the governor and dare not come to the door. However, we can take the initiative. I think this Zhao Zhixian is very knowledgeable, and as a doctor of medicine in the state, I believe he has the same understanding as the people in the city.
We have contacts with all the big clients. If he could take the lead and make the adults understand his thoughts more clearly, things would be easier to handle..."
Zhao Wuji, Lin Zongjing, and Guo Nuer had the deepest respect for Han Qian, and they were young after all, so they didn't feel anything about what Han Qian said or did, and they just followed it.
Yang Qin and Tian Cheng looked at each other, feeling embarrassed that they were discussing behind closed doors how to collect bribes as quickly as possible.
Han Qian thought Gao Shao's idea was a good one.
After all, they had spread the news, but if the big businessmen wanted to actually step out and make friends with the new governor, they would still have a lot of psychological obstacles and hesitations. Many people even felt that the governor was too aloof and unqualified to come and make friends with him.
If someone among these large guest families could take the lead and others just follow, things would go much smoother - Zhao Zhixian was kicked to Xuzhou to take up the post earlier than Wang Yu. Regardless of his character, as a doctor in the Imperial Medical Office
Official, he is definitely a person with excellent medical skills in Xuzhou.
As long as you are a human being, you will inevitably live and die, and the relationship between medical officers and local bigwigs is even closer than that of the superior governor.
Han Qian tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while, and then said to Zhao Ting'er: "We will give Mr. Zhao a preserved fruit as a gift in return. It's a bit of a greeting. You can prepare a few more things and Gao Shao will send them over."
"Go today?" Although the idea came from Gao Shao, he didn't expect Han Qian to be so eager to ask him to do it. He asked, "The situation is not peaceful today. Can we wait for two days?"
"It is precisely because of the unrest that we have to do it now," Han Qian said decisively, "and it must be done today."
Tian Cheng and Yang Qin couldn't help but look like this. Seeing that Gao Shao was flexible, Han Qian left the matter to him.
There were too many things going on in the state prison. Pardoning prisoners with light sentences was one thing, and reorganizing the jailers was also extremely important to ensure that the state prison was no longer an active volcano. Han Qian stayed in the yard in the afternoon and let Zhao Ting'er help.
The key information collected is marked on the topographic map of Qianyang City, so that Zuo Si's scouts can more effectively monitor and deploy defenses on Qianyang City in the next one or two months.
Gao Shao was also very efficient in his work. Before it was too late, he brought Zhao Zhixian over again.
Zhao Zhixian had already contacted more than 20 wealthy people living in the city, held a banquet at Guanyue Tower, and invited Han Qian to the banquet.
Han Qian was afraid that Zhao Ting'er would be bored, so he asked her to change into men's clothes. Accompanied by Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others, he happily rushed to Guanyue Tower, which was only one street away from Furong Garden, for the banquet; he didn't care about his father.
They were so busy over there that they sent someone to pull Fan Xicheng away from his father.
After all, in the future in Xuzhou, Fan Xicheng will have to maintain close contact with these large customers on behalf of his father.
Han Daoxun was an upright and honest official, and Fan Xicheng was deeply influenced by him, and even his behavior was somewhat rigid and straightforward.
Even before entering Xuzhou, the tone of conquering the area to ease Ma's vigilance had been set, but in Fan Xicheng's view, it was still necessary to pay attention to strategy and not make it too ugly. He never expected that he would not do it until he arrived in Xuzhou.
In one day, the situation was so urgent and critical yesterday, and even now the danger is far from completely eliminated. Today, Han Qian openly and secretly encouraged Zhao Zhixian to help him organize the situation and demand bribes?
Fan Xicheng found that he couldn't keep up with the young master Han Qian's rhythm. How could he be so impatient and look ugly?
After drinking for nearly an hour, Fan Xicheng felt uncomfortable all over. When Han Qian accepted gifts from others, he also found excuses to avoid them. Moreover, Han Qian accepted gifts from others, so he even opened the belongings on the spot.
After taking inventory, several people were forced to secretly take off the accessories from their bodies and stuff them into gift bags.
This is no longer unscrupulous, it can be said to be shameless.
Fan Xicheng saw that many people secretly showed disgust with Buxiao, and knew that he could not persuade the young master at this time. He could only sigh in his heart and endure it until the moon was high, then he accompanied Han Qian who was drunk and drunk.
Return to Furong Garden.
At this time, Han Daoxun had returned to Furong Garden and was sitting in the east courtyard with Xue Ruogu and others talking.
Although he didn't rest for two days, Han Daoxun was in high spirits.
Han Qian called Zhao Wuji, and Gao Shao and others were waiting outside the west courtyard. He and Fan Xicheng walked over to greet their father and asked: "Have the affairs of the state prison been arranged? What about the old pawn who was sent to meet the chiefs of the four surnames yesterday?
They should all be back by now, and they haven’t cut off an ear or nose or anything?”
"No one came back with less noses and less eyes, but the people who were sent to Jingyun Village were driven back even before they could enter the village," Han Daoxun said, "and the four surnamed children in the state camp, in the evening
Qiandu suddenly left the city."
In addition to Qianyang and other three cities in Xuzhou, the four surnames of Feng Xixiang and Yang all have strongholds at the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain, occupying strategic passes leading to Wushan Mountain, Wu River and the upper reaches of Yuan River.
The dangerous place that Fu Mo opened.
The native-born people who live concentratedly in and around the Sijia Walled City of Feng Xixiangyang account for almost 40% of the total population of Xuzhou.
The three cities of Qianyang, Langxi and Tanyang are built in the low beach area along the Yuanshui River. The terrain is relatively flat and open. Although they control the core waterway of the Yuanshui River, the passages extending deep into the Wushui River and Wushan Mountain are blocked.
, Lianshan and other walled cities blocked it.
The people living near the three cities of Qianyang, Langxi and Damyang are mainly customers or guests who have moved here over the past few hundred years.
The current structure of Xuzhou was formed over the past three hundred years since the formal establishment of the city in the early days of the previous dynasty.
In addition to the principal household registered in the state registration, which is also called the local registration, and the customers are also called the local registration, Xuzhou also has a large number of Shanyue people living in the mountains and rivers. Not to mention the state and county yamen, even the big families with four surnames.
The length of the whip is difficult to reach and difficult to control, so it is also called Shengfan. There is no specific statistics on how many people there are since the previous dynasty.
"What are they going to do? They don't dare to raise the flag to rebel. Do they plan to form a stronghold to defend themselves from now on and not have any contact with Chu?" Han Qian asked, "Then we take over the other two cities and have four thousand people in our hands.
For people with Yuhu guest registration, the result is not bad."
Although Xue Ruogu and others had already experienced the ruthless determination of the governor in last night's scene, they heard at night that the governor couldn't wait to ask Zhao Zhixian to come forward and invite the city's wealthy guests to hold a banquet so that he could collect money at Guanyue Tower.
The wealth and gifts are also amazing.
At this time, seeing Han Qian talking about the current situation so easily, Xue Ruogu was slightly startled and couldn't help but argue: "I'm afraid the situation is not as optimistic as Mr. Han thought."
Han Qian smiled slightly. Of course he knew that the situation was not as simple as he said. What he said was just to adjust the atmosphere. He didn't expect Xue Ruogu to be so boring.
Fan Xicheng said worriedly: "Although all the people who can testify that they colluded with the prisoners to rob and riot are dead, it is normal for the four surnames to worry that all this is a trap set by us. However, if the situation continues to be like this, the news will spread again
, it probably won’t be long before the court will probably hold you accountable.”
The imperial court sent Han Daoxun to serve as an official in Xuzhou, not to control a fragmented Xuzhou where civil unrest could break out at any time, especially since they had bloody "suppressed" all the witnesses, and it was even possible for the four surnames to do so.
Bite them back.
At this time, Fan Xicheng felt that Han Qian's suggestion last night to silence Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others was a bit hasty. Otherwise, if they had these witnesses and were held accountable by the court, they would still have a chance to defend themselves.
"If nothing goes wrong, Yang Zaili, Xiang Jianlong, Xi Zhen, Feng Changyu and others should all be watching the situation in Jingyun Village," Han Qian stretched out and said, "I'll go to Jingyun Village in person for that kid."
Let’s go.”
Xue Ruogu and others were all shocked. They did not expect that the governor, who they thought was ruthless, decisive, greedy and greedy for money, would have the courage to break into the bandit camp alone.
