Chapter 707 No Resistance to Lodging (Fifth Change)

the weather is getting hotter.

Yang He finished his daily work of teaching children literacy, took a copy of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, leaned on the rocking chair, and fanned himself manually to observe.

As the saying goes, the old does not look at the Three Kingdoms, and the young does not look at the Water Margin, but at his age, he has no desires or desires.

But He Jinzhao said that he had no strategy, Yang He refused to accept it, and insisted on studying the Three Kingdoms.

wow.

The door was pushed open.

"Yo, is there a newcomer?" Yang He was very pleasantly surprised: "Come in, let me see who it is!"

Yang Wenyue was brought in by a soldier and handed over to Yang He.

"Yang Wenyue, I have a little impression, what is your current position?"

"Shanxi Left Chief Envoy."

Yang He put down the book in his hand: "Wang Xiangkun was so pissed off by Xu Dingchen, why did the court call you to fill the gap?"

"So, you also know that Xu Dingchen colluded with the hammer bandits?"

"Now you are all captives, think about what to do with those."

Looking at Yang He's tired and lazy look, Yang Wenyue was extremely puzzled.

"It's good that you came earlier. Now I am offering sacrifices to the Prisoner of the Prisoner of War camp. If you behave well, I will be the master of the prison."

"What is this all about?"

"I did not surrender to the Hammer Bandit, nor did you surrender to the Hammer Bandit, He Jinzhao is not a person who kills easily.

You haven't had time to be a disaster in office, so there is nothing wrong with him, and he will lock you up. "

"I thought it was my lord."

"There are gossips in the court, and soon, you and I will probably end up in the same end."

When Yang Wenyue heard this, his heart immediately turned cold.

Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he was afraid that his family members would suffer injustice, so he might as well live and wait for the army to counterattack Shanxi before he can make it clear.

"Come, come, let me tell you about the rules."

He Jinzhao said that he was inspecting the spring plowing in various places, but he went around and was delayed for a long time at Yanmen Pass.

It's almost summer now.

He also had to have a look at the things piled up in the Taiyuan government office.

"Staff Yang, how many sessions of the mayor's and officials' study classes have you held?"

"Back to my lord, three sessions have been held so far."

He Jinzhao looked at the list of these people: "They are all selected from the top to learn."

"Master, we occupy 22 counties in Taiyuan Prefecture, five counties in Pingyang Prefecture, five counties in Fenzhou Prefecture, three counties each in Qinzhou Prefecture and Liaozhou Prefecture."

Yang Yuxiu gave a brief overview of the situation: "There are 38 county magistrate vacancies, and if Shanxi Province is all located next year, there will still be a large shortage of chiefs and deputy mayors, village chiefs, and county magistrates.

If it develops further to Shaanxi, some personnel will need to be transferred. "

"Didn't I arrange many retired soldiers to study with these people this time?"

He Jinzhao put down the paperwork in his hand: "When they have almost learned, we can mention these people who lead apprentices.

Especially at Sun Chuanting's place, put a few more people in the past for him. This person will not be a problem in governing a county, so learn more from him. "

"Yes." Yang Yuxiu responded repeatedly.

These trained mayors and small officials are the first wave of candidates to serve as county magistrates. When the territory expands, there will be a second wave of candidates.

"Call them back together, and whether they have taken the initiative to sign up to serve as county magistrates in difficult places, we will definitely focus on promotion in the future."

"My lord, what is a difficult place?"

"It's the land that my Hammer bandits have newly conquered, and there is not much foundation for the common people.

Regardless of the formation of peasant associations, arable land measurement, schools, farmers and soldiers, water conservancy, etc., it will take a lot of effort to renovate, and it may be counterattacked by the government and the army. "

"Understood, I will tell them when the time is right."

"En." After He Jinzhao responded:
"Shops that do business in the county have to spend money to buy a business license from the government and abolish the tax. Shanxi will first follow the normal business tax."

"Yes."

There are two types of business taxes in Ming Dynasty, one is city tax and the other is overtax.

He Jinzhao didn't know much about Daming's taxes, but he didn't know the city entry tax and banknote tariffs, so he might as well waive them first.

As for collecting taxes from the south of the Yangtze River, let's talk about it at that point. If the army goes south, you can't make yourself soluble in water, right?

"My lord, recently old farmers and weather observers have said that the weather may change, and wheat is not resistant to lodging." Qiu Zhitao said cautiously:

"If there is a heavy rain before the summer harvest, even if the harvest is successful, the wheat will germinate and deteriorate."

Hearing this, He Jinzhao felt a headache. This year's spring and summer were dry, and as a result, there was a tendency of heavy rain at the end of summer.

As for the wheat seedlings that are resistant to lodging, He Jinzhao has nowhere to look for them, and he can't drink two or two big tunes so that he doesn't know the north, south, east, west, and north.

"What can I do?"

He Jinzhao is not good at farming, and has forgotten many of the busy farming experiences in his childhood as he got older.

But I know that after the wheat is harvested, the wheat will be dried in the yard and on the side of the road, and the grain will be stored after it is dried.

"If you can't dry it with the weather, you can only dry it manually."

"Well, let the peasant associations in various places try to harvest the wheat as much as possible. The county magistrates I circled will take office immediately, and they will do their best to deal with the summer harvest without delay."

"Yes."

Following He Jinzhao's order, all 38 counties were mobilized.

It is time to harvest winter wheat, but what the refugees planted in spring still needs to be resistant to flooding and lodging.

But at this time, these new forces were all pulled to harvest the wheat.

He Jinchao asked people to patrol the Yellow River. If there was a sudden heavy rain and the Yellow River burst its embankment, he would be the one to lose.

From Hequ all the way to Linxian County, all leaks need to be patched up, just in case.

The weather was still dry for the first few months, and then there was a heavy rainstorm.

It really makes people feel that the power of the Little Ice River cannot be stopped by manpower.

Under the control of the Shanxi hammer bandits, they all started to harvest and sell grain, and even He Jinzhao personally joined in it.

As for the dog officials who said they wanted to fight Shanxi, they were once again let go of the pigeons, and they didn't respond to the fight at all.

In short, they were still confronting He Jinzhao and others in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. They would never dare to fight until the shields supported by Governor Hong were delivered.

Cao Wenzhao thought he would be able to flex his muscles, and was waiting for the artillery, but what was waiting was the supervisor sent by the imperial court.

As soon as the dead eunuch Chen Dakui arrived at the barracks, he began to ask why the intruders had not been wiped out, but His Majesty hated the intruders so much.

It was he who bombarded the ancestral temple and disturbed the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. He must be caught and hacked to pieces in order to show the majesty of the royal family.

Cao Wenzhao explained that the intruder was so powerful that he could not be captured overnight, and that he had to wait for Governor Hong to send the artillery to defeat the enemy.

But the angels don't listen to your reason at all.

Although Chongzhen was very optimistic about Cao Wenzhao, in order to avoid being deceived by civil and military officials, he still sent his cronies to the military camp to act as eyes and ears.

Facing the emperor's angel, Cao Wenzhao received him nicely, and belatedly gave him money.

Only then did the angel Chen Dakui smile, instead of urging Cao Wenzhao to catch the intruder Gao Yingxiang as soon as possible, saying that His Majesty also knew his difficulties.

Cao Wenzhao and others had to face not only the foreign thieves, but also the supervising army, and they were really busy.
