The prefect and others were both shocked and delighted, and also had some doubts.
With such elite soldiers, it seems that Lianzhou Prefecture is safe and secure, but...where did the governor send the soldiers? What kind of soldiers are they in the guard station? It's not like they haven't seen them before. During this period, there were 20,000 soldiers.
, since entering this city, there has been a chaotic atmosphere every day, and there are not many murders every day. Even the big families in the city have been harassed by these people and have no peace.
In the past few days, just appeasing these aristocratic families in the city has caused the prefect to lose a lot of hair, and there are not many hairs left on the top of his head.
As the governor came closer, there was no time for them to think wildly. A group of officials hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I have met the governor."
"Okay, gentlemen, you don't need to be polite." Qi Hongliang got off the horse. Wang Xuan didn't like riding in a sedan, so he had to ride a horse with him, but he suffered a lot along the way. Wang Xuan was behind him at the moment, and he didn't deliberately hide it.
, the white horse and white clothes are a bit eye-catching, and many people just glanced at it several times.
"My lords, thank you for your hard work. I appreciate my kindness. It's very kind of me to go three miles out of the city in an emergency."
Qi Hongliang said a few polite words casually, and the prefect immediately climbed up the pole and said, "The governor's military appearance is at its peak, which intimidates the enemy. Today, the governor is coming. As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the young people like Annan. In the past,
The people in the city have been shouting and cursing for a long time, but today we opened the city gate to welcome the governor, but these barbarians only dared to huddle inside the city and did not dare to make the slightest move. It can be seen that your Majesty is so majestic that even people from the enemy country are aware of your reputation.
"
Fan Wencheng turned his head sharply and looked at the prefect with an unkind expression. Damn, it’s so shameless. Who didn’t want to come out to greet him just now? Damn, it’s so shameless. These sycophants can also be high-ranking and well-paid.
An honest and trustworthy person like me can only waste half of his life. It’s really unfair!
The governor's residence was clearly arranged by the prefect. He specifically asked a wealthy family in the city to give up his house so that he could accommodate the group of people. Fortunately, the house was big enough, so the three thousand soldiers could barely fit in.
Early in the morning, Wang Xuan finished his morning exercise. He lay on the deck chair in the garden and looked at the various exotic flowers and plants in the mansion, which made him feel in a good mood.
"My lord, today is the last day for Governor Qi to issue transfer orders. But today, there are still two government guards who have not arrived. These guys are dragging their feet along the way, and their march is as slow as crawling."
Fan Wencheng walked to Wang Xuan and reported in a low voice.
In fact, it's not that the commander of the guard post is not in a hurry. He will definitely be punished if he arrives late. In fact, the quality of the troops is just that, and this is the result of intensifying the urging. What's more, the commander of the guard post is not willing to push.
"What the hell." His good mood was gone all day long. Wang Xuan cursed, "How long has it been? How long has it been since I waited for someone? These people are really brave."
From Wang Xuan's point of view, the two commanders of the guard still felt that it was not a big deal. This was because they were sure that they would be punished at most. The war still required their efforts and they could not be punished too harshly. If the military law was strict, being late would mean having a different head.
Let's see if these guys can arrive on time!
Damn it, I can never break my own record, and I will definitely not wait for anyone to do it alive. When I do, I will make these two guys into cement blocks to serve as a warning to others!
After waiting for another five days, Qi Hongliang was busy every day these days, meeting various officials and local aristocratic families, but Wang Xuan did not have such free time, and these people were not qualified to see him.
It's better to think about various kung fu.
In the past few days, Sun Chengzong and the three of them have been following Wang Xuan. They also listened to Fan Wencheng explain clearly about Annan. Only then did they know how much Wang Xuan had killed in Annan. For this kind of complete pacification of Annan,
The method of people's rebellion... The three of them didn't know what to say for a while. Let's talk about this method. It's absolutely feasible. All the people have died, and how can they start a rebellion!
But this killing was too extensive and inconsistent with traditional Confucian thought!
"Traditional thoughts of Confucianism?" Wang Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard such culture, "Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just talk about this grassland. There are more killings on the grassland. There are many ethnic groups, and the ethnic groups are defeated. The man who is higher than the wheel
All will be killed. The Mongols alone will wipe out countless ethnic groups. But now, everyone on the grassland basically believes that they are of Mongolian descent. Anyone who can dominate the grassland, whether it is Tatar or anyone, must say something about themselves.
They are the golden family, descendants of Genghis Khan."
"This is even more inconsistent with Confucianism, but the name of Genghis Khan will be passed down through the ages, because his descendants established the Yuan Dynasty, one of the largest countries in the world, with an area twice that of the current name. This does not include the other names of Genghis Khan.
The four great khanates established by their descendants."
"Including what you call barbaric lands outside of China, the implementation of benevolent and righteous enlightenment policies towards foreigners cannot be the product of not wanting to enfeoff the feudal lords. This is just because the early emperors were afraid of rebellion. If you tell a lie ten million times, it will be the truth, and it will control you in turn.
, but what does it have to do with me whether you rebel or not?"
Wang Xuan's words made the three of them speechless. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case. Most of the current huge land was barbaric before Zhou Dynasty. It was developed bit by bit by later generations. Even now
Jiangnan, the most prosperous area, was also a sparsely populated place during the Han Dynasty.
Anyway, those who died were all Annan people, so everyone just asked without feeling distressed. Sun Chengzong was more concerned about the countless doubts in his heart.
"My lord, Fujian is so rich, but I don't understand. Since ancient times, a province has only a limited amount of wealth. Why has Fujian become so rich but not have any impact on the surrounding provinces?"
"No, who told you that the total wealth of a place remains unchanged?" Wang Xuan looked at Sun Chengzong inexplicably.
"This...that's what the book says. Otherwise, why would there be no changes in taxation for hundreds of years during the Ming Dynasty?" Sun Chengzong looked confused.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I believe that books are worse than no books. I hate you "ancient people" the most. It seems that people today will never be as good as the ancients. Everything is so good from the ancients. Ancestors That's right. Open your mouth to express your courtesy, but keep your mouth closed. It's not like the ancient times of great rule, they always used those outdated things to brag about."
"The iron output in Fujian alone is three times that of the entire Ming Dynasty. Are you telling me that the wealth of this place will not change? OK, it is just to increase the amount of mining. Let's not talk about it. Let's talk about one acre of land.
Nowadays, rice is grown twice a year, and fish and shrimp can be raised in the rice fields. Do you think the wealth has doubled compared to before? If sugar cane is grown and sugar can be squeezed, the income will be higher. How can the wealth remain the same? Are you kidding me?
That!"
"With the help of machinery, a female worker can carry over ten or twenty people. You tell me that the wealth will not change? Transportation is convenient. A horse can transport three times the goods than before, and the consumption is reduced by five times. You tell me that the wealth will not change? Move.
Is it okay to use your brain? Why is it said that Zhang Juzheng is not as good as Wang Yangming? It is because Zhang Juzheng has not escaped the cycle of death and political destruction. No matter how much he brags, it is useless. He only wants to use the knife on the original wealth, but does not think about how to create more.
With so much wealth and income, it’s no wonder that his reform was successful.”
Sun Chengzong was used to being scolded these days. He pondered for a long time without blushing and his heart did not beat. Then he suddenly realized that he was dancing excitedly. The road to reform and strengthening the country has always been followed by very few people. It turned out that the root was here. He seemed to have seen the Ming Dynasty.
On the road to future glory, if Fujian's method continues to be implemented, the Ming Dynasty will be able to sweep away its decline and once again move towards glory, and the name of Sun Chengzong will also be remembered in history.
Immediately, he thought of another question, "But why has taxation remained the same for so many years in the Ming Dynasty, without increasing."
"What the heck, cut off one of your legs and try to put the meat on the other leg. It looks like a meat stick. It's strange that you can walk. When the dynasty is at its peak, civil and military skills are indispensable. Since the civil service
After the group launched the 'Tumubao Incident', the military attache system of the Ming Dynasty was directly compromised..."
Seeing that Sun Chengzong was about to defend himself, Wang Xuan directly waved his hand to shut him up, "Don't tell me anything. This is Wang Zhen's problem. I'm not discussing the truth of the matter with you. The past is not important. There is no proof. History has a victory."
Written by the author, there is no bullshit truth. The fact is that the civil servant group profited the most, and the power of the emperor and the military attache group was greatly weakened. The Ming Dynasty has gone downhill. Later emperors, whether Xuantong, Zhengde, Jiaqing, have tried to take back military power, but
They were all blocked by the civilian clique and failed to take shape. The five army governor's offices were in name only, and the Ming Dynasty's military force completely lost its ability to frighten surrounding countries."
"Now the 200,000 Guan Ning army is being beaten back by the little Jurchens. The civil service system is so strong that there is no force to deter them. They collect ridiculous taxes and it's hard to give up good money. Don't talk about others. You
How much land does the Sun family have? How much business does it have? How much hidden land does it have? How many hidden households do they have? Do they all pay taxes?"
"..." Sun Chengzong's face turned red immediately, "Boss, it's boring to talk like this..." He just said that and brought me back in.
wang
Money, I want them to hand over this money suddenly, even if it is not too much for them, most people will not be willing."
"Even in Fujian, I killed all the top seven families. I killed all the bandits in Fujian. Those in the middle who were dissatisfied were still killed. After doing this three times, I completely dispelled people's luck. This is
It is the importance of force and the absolute deterrence of force that can prevent people from taking chances."
Wang Xuan said it in an understatement, but Sun Chengzong could hear the smell of countless blood in it. Those three massacres basically caused the power structure in Fujian to completely collapse, and then the tax law was implemented. This was just in Fujian, if it were the whole country,
How many people will be killed?
And these people were all from aristocratic families. Sun Chengzong did not dare to think that in the past dynasties, the only people who massacred aristocratic families on such a large scale were those rebels, such as the Yellow Turbans and Huang Chao. Although they both had the surname Huang, they were still very different from the emperor...
…
Five days later, when the last wave of guard troops arrived in Lianzhou Prefecture, pairs of soldiers appeared on all the important roads in Lianzhou Prefecture, completely blocking all roads out. From that day on, Lianzhou Prefecture was completely separated from Lianzhou Prefecture.
