Be the emperor from the postman

"Long live King Qin!"

The merchants yelled.

He Jinzhao directly abolished all the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes of Ming Dynasty, even the city gate tax was not allowed, and then he had to register for household registration.

"Long live King Qin."

Literate Lehu burst into tears.

They are no longer cheap.

There were no slaves under the hammer bandits.

It can be said that He Jinzhao directly copied the mature model of Shanxi and others to Xiangyang City.

After the hammer bandit's announcement was read, everyone gathered couldn't help but burst into loud cheers.

It's not that they haven't received the rogues before, and everyone was bullied by the government subordinates very badly.

Even if they are doing business on the street, it is unknown how many people lie on them and suck blood.

Because subordinate officials also watch people order dishes, they dare not provoke shops with background in black and white, so they can only be bullied by vendors without background.

After Zhang Xianzhong broke through Xiangyang, apart from giving them a few taels of silver to drive away all the men of the right age, the military discipline was not very good.

Because Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates not only killed the princes and nobles, but even ordinary people's pretty women were swept away.

However, the government and army regained Xiangyang, and it was a little better because Wu Guojun, the Marquis of Jingliao, was stationed a few days ago.

When Jingliaohou's army returned to Beijing, the people of Xiangyang suffered disaster.

Yang Sichang couldn't mobilize Zuo Liangyu at all, let alone command him.

After Zuo Liangyu's defeat in Zhuxian Town, in order to quickly recover her strength, she indulged her subordinates even more.

The Shangfang sword issued by the Ming court, in the hands of a supervisor who has no military power, can only be a guy who kills himself, and can't scare others at all.

But the people of Xiangyang ushered in the hammer bandits again. Not long after he entered the city, Marshal He promulgated a series of regulations to abolish Ming's exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes.

Even the hammer bandits encouraged them to arrest all the gentry and subordinates who had oppressed them, send them to the government office, and then try them in public to uphold justice for everyone.

"Master Qingtian!"

"Master Qingtian is here, and Xiangyang City will be at peace."

There are people shouting all kinds of slogans on the street.

Except for those who had done a lot of evil things on weekdays, trembling and wanting to escape, most of the people were mad with excitement.

Of course, they also learned a new word: urban management.

Gu Jikun (never changed his name to Gu Yanwu), after failing in many trials, directly gave up the imperial examination, searched for historical books of all dynasties, county annals, and engaged in hobbies.

I joined Fushe at the age of 15, visited the surrounding area, and also wanted to write a book about the national economy and people's livelihood.

Because in today's era, people's lives are difficult, and foreign aggression is becoming more urgent day by day, but most of those scholars in the literary world only talk about reason, or pursue fame and fortune.

As for how the people are, how corrupt the court officials are has nothing to do with them.

All of them write about the affairs of the world with a pen, and refuse to bow their heads to see the Lord of the world.

Gu Jikun advocated a practical style of study as the basis for him to transform the current predicament and save the country.

His family also has thousands of acres of ancestral land, which is quite spare for him to study outside production or even go out to study and gain knowledge, and provide convenience for him to write books.

This time Gu Jikun came to Xiangyang purely to get some sets of chronicles, and to conduct field investigations by the way.

Unexpectedly, when he was staying in the store, he was robbed by the left army, and fled around, and then the hammer bandits entered the city, which escaped the catastrophe.

He stood in the crowd and watched the Hammer bandit soldiers announce various orders loudly here, feeling a little dazed for a while.

It is not worth talking about exorbitant taxes, because this is what should be abolished.

He didn't know how long He Jinzhao could last with such a way of buying people's hearts?
Gu Jikun didn't know much about the hammer bandits.

He only knew that He Jinzhao was a postman in Shaanxi, and in the past few years he had gradually gained a foothold in the Northwest and other places, and even occupied half of the Ming Dynasty.

Entering Huguang now, I am afraid that they will sweep Nanjing, capture the entire Great Tomorrow, and then go north like the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.

That arrogant Zuo Jun didn't even have the courage to confront the hammer bandits.

30 troops, that's a fart!

Now that Gu Jikun is looking at the cheers of the people around him, he can know that everyone has been paying miscellaneous taxes for a long time.

Otherwise, the Hammer bandit just announced the order, and would not have won the support and praise of a large number of people.

Gu Jikun looked at the responsibilities of the city management. He felt that it was no different from the Jingjie Division of the Song Dynasty and the Bingma Division of the Five Cities of the Ming Dynasty, but they had changed their names.

Since ancient times, cities have faced two problems: one is illegal construction of streets, and the other is road occupation.

Gu Jikun could tell from the urban management system promulgated by the Hammer Bandits. The Hammer Bandits said they overthrew Daming's policy, but they just changed the name of the original policy and improved it.

The next day, Gu Jikun followed Daliu to the gate of the government office to watch the remaining princes and county kings of Xiangyang City clean the street there.

Not to mention tens of thousands of people, but the scene of crowds of people on the street is very shocking.

So much so that the hammer bandits had to dispatch troops to disperse the crowd and "escort" these princes to clean the street.

Zhu Changcheng only felt his face turn pale, and his knuckles turning white when he was holding the broom.

He has never been so humiliated when he grows up this big!
But the thought that if he did not do this kind of work, he would die, all courage disappeared.

According to the fate of his father who was beheaded, killed and burned by Zhang Xianzhong last time, He Jinzhao's treatment of them was already very good.

When someone took out traditional vegetable leaves and rotten eggs and threw them at these princes, and shouted loudly:
"Kill them!"

"kill him!"

The city management who maintained order were dispatched in an instant, dragged out a few civilians who took the lead in throwing garbage, knocked them to the ground with a few sticks, and then beat them with slaps.

The leader of the city management pointed a stick at the people around him and said, "Those who dare to litter will be hit with ten sticks!"

The voices of the people around suddenly became quieter, and they even began to hide the prepared rotten leaves.

Gu Jikun pinched his beard and couldn't help shaking his head. The behavior of this hammer bandit was quite different from what he knew.

If He Jinzhao had chosen to kill these descendants surnamed Zhu, he would surely win over a large number of people, but he didn't do that.

Zhu Changcheng and others saw the hammer bandit soldiers knock down the people who threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at them, and they had mixed feelings for a while.

He originally wanted to die, but he couldn't bear this kind of humiliation.

But now it seems that He Jinzhao intends to protect them.

After such a farce, many people were forced to calm down.

Some people who wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate became cautious.

Once anger is aroused by some things, whether it can be controlled is a big problem.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others all did this.

Most of King Xiang's lineage were slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, leaving no "human appearance" for He Jinchao at all.

These few people who survived should be taken care of.

"The King of Qin ordered them to clean up several streets in Xiangyang. If you dare to retaliate privately and disobey the King Qin's order, you will be punished severely!"

When this sentence is preached to everyone, of course more people don't understand it.

Since Daming was overthrown, why not kill everyone surnamed Zhu!
It doesn't matter whether the surname is Zhu or not. The important thing is that He Jinzhao's orders must be carried out. Whoever dares to disobey will be severely punished.

Once everything depends on public opinion, it will definitely be backlashed in the future.

Besides, the fact that King Xiang didn't kill him doesn't mean he didn't kill the rest of the Ming princes.

The fact that the hammer bandits entered Xiangyang without bloodshed does not mean that the knives in their hands are not sharp!
So in the past few days, a large number of tooth dealers, petty officials, rogues, criminals, princes, and servants who can't afford it, were all organized by the hammer bandits to clean up the entire Xiangyang city.

The peasants in the countryside were also organized by the hammer bandits, and the gentry had little ability to resist.

It's not a problem for those dog legs they raise to run rampant in the countryside on weekdays.

Not to mention encountering hammer bandits, even if encountering officers and soldiers, they are not something they can resist.

The officials of the hammer bandits have been promoting the policies of the hammer bandits these days.

From among the locals, I found people who were actively approaching the Hammer bandits and had innocent net worth, and gave them the opportunity to participate in governance, and at the same time also served as the leader of the party.

Naturally, many musicians were also accepted by the Hammer Bandits, rehearsing with the script compiled by the Hammer Bandits, preparing to perform to reward the soldiers around them, and to carry out publicity in the countryside.

On the contrary, the farmers and tenants in the Xiangyang area supported the policy of the hammer bandits even more.

Because they finally had someone draw a real pie for them.

The cakes drawn by "Yu Dashan" in the past, on the contrary, made them unable to produce much food for a year.

I worked hard to repay the loan from the year before last to "Yu Dashan people".

But last year and this year, there was no repayment of the principal, so the children and grandchildren had to carry the loan on their backs and use it as cattle and horses for the "good people of Yu Da".

When you are old and frail and unable to work, just wait to starve to death or hang yourself, so as not to drag down your children and grandchildren.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, you can't get a wife, so you don't have to bear the burden of dragging your children and grandchildren.

These tenants looked at the fields that once belonged to the landlord, and they were all measured, and then distributed to them for rent, all of them were so happy that they didn't close their mouths.

Especially when wooden signs were used as signs and nailed to the ground for them, it made everyone hold the wooden signs and cry.

Although most of them don't know the writing on the wooden board, they understand that if they work hard for a few years, then this fertile field will be theirs.

Farmers' associations are also being successfully established, and farmers from all over the country have responded.

They couldn't understand much of the meaning, they only knew that the hammer bandit could bring them great benefits, so they must hold on to it firmly and not let go.

Otherwise, the next time I change my destiny, I don't know when it will be!

The government office controlled by the hammer bandits has also been in operation.

Gu Jikun learned from the conversation that the entire Xiangyang City was divided into four areas, and ten households came to register as guarantors.

Gu Jikun was surprised by the high efficiency of his work.

He even heard that He Jinzhao didn't plan to implement any system of imperial examinations to select officials, but trained officials himself, starting from the grassroots step by step.

This move won the approval of Gu Jikun, a scholar who has tried repeatedly and was bullied by stereotyped essays.

In this world, only those who pass the imperial examination will surely be good officials?
Of course, he also has concerns in his heart.

Although Gu Jikun is not a Jinshi, as a scholar, there are many ways to avoid paying taxes on the land in his family.

But he found that under the hammer bandits, it was not only a question of whether to pay taxes, but also a large number of good land in the family would be confiscated by the hammer bandits, and then distributed to the poor for rent and planting.

And after ten years of renting, the poor have the priority to buy the land they cultivated.

Gu Jikun was very worried about this matter.

He had a temporary pass issued by the Hammer Bandit on him.

Because the "experiment" on him is from Kunshan, Nanzhili, he is not a local, and he has not been embarrassed.

He Jinzhao hoped that someone who stayed in the city temporarily would return to his hometown and spread the news of the Hammer Bandit's arrival everywhere, so that the officers and soldiers could go out of their way first.

Gu Jikun sent his servants to send the letter to his young friend Gui Zhuangxing.

Even though Gu Jikun's servants followed him all the time, he thought again in his heart, when will Marshal He go to Nanzhili?
Gu Jikun, as a "monster of Fushe", decided to visit He Jinzhao after sending away the letter.

He didn't think He Jinzhao could kill himself.

In the county government office of Xiangyang Prefecture, He Jinzhao has been listening to the reports of his subordinates, Zaoyang, Nanyang, Gucheng and other places.

Especially after Gucheng was run by Zhang Xianzhong for a while, most of the gentry there were killed by him, which saved He Jinzhao a lot of trouble.

Then He Jinchao killed a large number of gentry by Zhang Xianzhong, said through the government that they were collaborating with thieves, and killed the big landlord who transferred the good land of Gucheng to his own hands, directly closing the loop.

It's like Long Wu died for the rich, but it makes those small landlords who have been forcibly occupied their fertile land feel lucky.

Through the hands of the hammer bandits, they can also get some good land for farming.

At this time, compared with the lifestyle of the one-third-acre land in the village, there are filth and evil people in the counties and towns of various places, especially the people like Popi and Yaxing that need to be cleaned up by the hammer bandits.

But governance everywhere is still just beginning.

The news of the Hammer bandits entering Xiangyang spread to Jingzhou. Minghui King Zhu Changrun, Governor of Pianyuan Chen Ruimo, and "Civil and Military Divisions" led each other to abscond that night, and there was no one at the gate of the city.

After the vanguard troops led by Gao Yigong entered Jingmen Prefecture, the people slaughtered pigs and sheep, and held up the hammer bandit flag embroidered overnight to reward the hammer bandit soldiers.

Of course, these activities were organized by the gentry, and He Jinzhao knew what they were thinking.

There was also news from Li Dingguo that he had traveled down the Yangtze River, and even Keyiling, Yidu, and Zhijiang were almost at Jiangling.

Wherever the army went, the officers and soldiers had already fled, and even some wealthy and powerful people ran to Nanjing early or even further away when they got the news.

Looking at the increasing number of flags on the map, He Jinzhao felt his scalp tingle, even though he was well prepared.

But it can be expected that the officials in his hands are far from enough.

"Military division, we still need to recruit one or two more locals to bring in the new with the old." He Jinzhao ordered:
"It's best to recruit some scholars who have tried and failed. They are dissatisfied with Ming Dynasty, and they can quickly put themselves into work. Let them be evaluated during the work, and those who are not suitable will be dismissed."

"Back to the King of Qin, we have already issued a call. There are quite a few scholars and recruiters who want to come, but when they hear our conditions, most of them turn around and leave."

Ji Gui has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and these scholars are all stubborn.

He has seen their faces in Shanshan, Sichuan and Shu for a long time, and it will be them who will regret it.

Niu Youcai trotted a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Commander, there is a foreign scholar named Gu Jikun asking to see you."
