I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 277: It's Not That I Didn't Report The Time And Didn't Come

In the familiar backyard of the county government, Chen Mengji had the illusion that things were right and people were wrong.

A general sat upright in the seat that should have belonged to him.

A majestic voice sounded: "You are still alive!"

"Ben..., Xiaguan wanted to live and die with Nao County, but he was not reconciled. He wanted to save his useful body to suppress the bandits and regain the lost land!"

"Rogue? Are you sure it's a rogue?"

"The folk customs in Nao County are simple and honest. Of course, it was the rogues who incited and bewitched them, which led to their loss of nature and their activities of robbing houses, killing officials and rebelling."

"It's useless for you to attribute the cause of the civil upheavals to rogue bandits. If the court pursues it, you will inevitably be stabbed in the market!"

At this time, Chen Mengji, who was born as a Jinshi in the second list, no longer had the reserve of a scholar meeting a warrior, nor the superiority of a civil official meeting a military officer. "Plop!" He knelt down.

With a crying voice, he said, "General, help!"

"Why should I save your life? How innocent are the tens of thousands of people who died in civil unrest because of your incompetence?"

"Only you, General, can save this official. I originally donated 3000 yuan, no, no, I am willing to donate all my savings, a total of [-] taels of silver!"

Originally, Chen Mengji wanted to offer 5 taels of silver to get rid of the crime. Who would have thought that Huang Yi would not talk about it at all, and the implication was that he was going to arrest him directly and send him to the capital.

The county magistrate was frightened immediately, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. Of course, he knew how many gold and silver treasures were buried in the small courtyard.

As long as Qiu Ba and the others knew where they were buried, those things definitely did not belong to them.

So Chen Mengji was so cruel that he didn't want all of them, and used them all to pay for his life.

How many taels of silver are there?

Huang Yi suddenly got excited, not because he was greedy for money, but because he needed money to buy food. Taking advantage of the great opportunity of entering Shanxi and Shaanxi to suppress bandits, he acquired tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people.

How many people can be obtained depends entirely on whether there is enough food in hand to support these people for a year.

As long as these people can be fed for one year, the harvest from reclaiming and planting the land in this year will definitely be able to support double the population.

In ancient times, farming was basically possible, and the fertilizer factories in Xinghe City and Dongshanbao were boiling soil and fertilizer.

With this kind of high-efficiency fertilizer, at least one mu of field can produce [-] catties of wheat, which is more than [-] times the average yield per mu in northern China at the end of Ming Dynasty.

"Eighty-three thousand taels of silver? You are an official!"

Chen Mengji didn't mind Huang Yi's sarcasm at all, and said cautiously: "The atmosphere in the officialdom is such that the lower officials are actually not greedy."

"The county magistrate who can get 3 to [-] taels of silver a year is ashamed to say that he is not greedy!"

"Xiaguan is ashamed, but Xiaguan is really not a person who sucks bones!"

Is it true that there were no officials and no corruption in the late Ming Dynasty?Huang Yi couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to figure it out, he said:
"Since you promised to spend a lot of money to subsidize the salary, then I will reluctantly give you a hand. You can discuss it with the supervising army later."

ah?Chen Mengji was sweating profusely, all his money was used to bribe Huang Yi, how could he still have money to honor the chief eunuch of the supervising army, isn't this still a dead end!

"General, this subordinate has given up everything he has, and he can't impress the supervising army. Please tell me something for this subordinate!"

"It's a perfect match for you to cooperate with the eunuch in this kind of deception. I won't participate."

"General, I really can't afford the money!"

Only then did Huang Yi understand Chen Mengji's concerns, and immediately said with disdain:

"Don't worry, Wang Kun, the eunuch of the Xuanda Supervising Army, is a good eunuch who resists corruption and will never get involved. He will enthusiastically help you get rid of the crime, and you don't need to give any favors!"

"This, this is absolutely impossible!"

"You'll know later, anything is possible!"

Chen Mengji was frightened and dizzy.

He thought it was an illusion, because he actually saw Huang Yi ordering two guards in Jinyi to take him to see Wang Kun, the chief eunuch of the supervising army.

And the two brocade guards were respectful, their demeanor was like that of ordinary soldiers.

Feeling dizzy, Chen Mengji came to the courtyard where Wang Kun lived, and was immediately in awe.

Because the furnishings here are too simple, worse than a scribe's office.

The high-ranking eunuch who supervised the army was actually approachable, and he didn't put on airs in front of Chen Mengji, the seventh-rank county magistrate, but asked about his intentions with a pleasant face.

Next, not only agreed to cooperate, but also took the initiative to deliberate with Chen Mengji on the wording of the report.

The capital, the hall officials of all ministries, and the palm seals of all supervisors, in a word, as long as the officials and eunuchs in power have received ice respect.

Only the eunuch Xuanda supervised the army did nothing, and only sent a good news!
However, all the eunuchs did not dare to intercept Wang Kun's memorial, and submitted it to the imperial court on the same day.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood after reading it, and immediately commented on it, encouraging Xinghe general Huang Yi to make new contributions, praised Wang Kun for his courage to take charge, and agreed to stay in the post of Chen Mengji, the magistrate of Nao County, who had made great contributions, and urged to quickly appease the victims and resume production as quickly as possible .

However, the most important food relief has no follow-up.

Suppressing the rioters in the three counties is a temporary task received by the Xinghe Army. The main task is to go to the southwest of Shanxi to fight the bandits and recover Xizhou and Puzhou...

Huang Yi's idea is to publicize the Xinghe Army, and try to let Xuanda and the common people in Shanxi know that there is an army that has never committed any crimes in this chaotic world, and that there is an invincible leader.

Along the way, the governors of the Xinghe Army helped the poor and the poor, and the doctors who accompanied the army treated the sick and saved the sick. They never harassed the local area and won the hearts of the people.

When the three counties were pacified, one or two thousand wounded were treated and treated. These people were basically young and middle-aged, and they were the main labor force of a family.

If there is no treatment, the survival rate is probably only [-]-[-]%.

The doctors accompanying the Xinghe Army have the most scientific wound treatment methods in the world today. With the help of military doctors, the survival rate is as high as [-]%.

Except for Chen Mengji, the magistrates of the three counties are missing, and it is not known whether they are dead or have fled.

The rioters not only hated the rich, robbed the big households and killed the old wealth of the landlords, but also extremely hated the government servants and subordinate officials.

There is a reason for that!

Apportionment and fire consumption are controlled by government servants and subordinate officials who pretend to be powerful. These people are best at oppressing goodness, and the day when farmers pay taxes is when these people get rich.

It's not that the time has not arrived. During the more than ten days of civil chaos in the three counties, the yamen servants and subordinate officials were almost wiped out.

Many yamen servants were captured by the hateful mob, and they were tortured so badly that they could not survive or die.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was the subordinate officials and government servants who really governed and ruled a county. These people were sitting tigers.

After the civil unrest, the ruling and clan forces in the three counties were completely destroyed, and it was time to take the opportunity to establish a new order.

So Huang Yi encloses the land and distributes the unowned land to Shengdou Xiaomin to build a large farm.

In order to better control the three county governments including Nao County, each county left three elected governors, six musketeers and thirty auxiliary soldiers.

Their task is to manage the six rooms and three shifts to act as yamen servants. The most important job in this month is to organize young and middle-aged people to strengthen law and order.
