After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 When Mr. Qian Comes, Shandong Will Have a Blue Sky

In the land of the elbow and armpit in Shandong, the imperial court should have sent a tiger here, even if it couldn't send a tiger, it should have sent a good housekeeper dog, but it sent a pig!

Or a stupid, incompetent, lustful pig... The regent claims to be wise, but in fact he is also very confused.

Yan Zibin received the news that Qian Qianyi was about to take office, and gave such a sincere evaluation.

However, Qian Qianyi didn't see him that way. After he took office, he acted resolutely and ordered decisively to appease the Kong family, and then ordered officials from all over the country to warn those scholars who followed him to criticize the Kong family.

Overwhelmed by the sky, carried by the earth, the king, the parents, the teachers, are kind enough to nurture and teach them... The sage Kong is the teacher of all ages, the Confucius family is the descendant of the sages, the status is respected, the hope of the scholarly circle, and the criticism of the sage, that is Cut himself off from the wall of Confucius and Mencius.

Whoever dares to speak nonsense will be disqualified from the imperial examination and regarded as a madman.

With this first move, the Confucian family in Qufu will be grateful, Mr. Qian, who is so sensible, really spoke from the bottom of his heart.

This alone is enough to lead the literary world of the two dynasties.

Qian Qianyi appeased the Kong family, and then ordered the gentry not to follow the thieves. Anyone who has to submit temporarily due to coercion, as long as he is willing to return to justice, is willing to help the court destroy the thieves, and make suggestions, not only can the crime be forgiven, but also in the eradication of bandits. After that, take back your own property.

After this order went on, there was even a sound of praise, everyone praised in unison, saying that Mr. Zhongcheng is compassionate to the people and makes decisions for the people. He is really a rare good official. The land of Qilu has blue sky.

Amidst all the praise, Qian Qianyi felt that he could do something bigger. He bravely wrote a letter, asking the Qing court to agree not to continue to staking land in Shandong.The original land may be returned to the original owner as appropriate.

If he can make great contributions in suppressing the bandits, he can get even more rewards...

When Qian Qianyi arrived in Shandong, he immediately showed three tricks.

At this time, Zhu Yiyuan also felt the power of "the water is too cool".

"It's a matter of fact. I just got news from the farming community that there are about 20 local gentry in Laiwu who have fled to Jinan Prefecture. In the direction of Xintai, some landlords are unwilling to divide their land and have regrouped thugs to attack our militiamen. In three days, more than [-] militiamen were killed or injured!"

Song Lian anxiously reported the situation to Zhu Yiyuan, "Qian Qianyi has bewitched many people."

Zhu Yiyuan said with a sullen face: "We must fight back, and we must not condone... All the gentry who escaped, their properties must be taken back. As for those who openly rebelled, I immediately sent troops to arrest them all. The leader, beheaded!"

Zhu Yiyuan ordered decisively, and Song Lian went to arrange it immediately.

Zhu Yiyuan was still worried, so he called Wang Huan, and led dozens of volunteer soldiers to go downstream along the Dawen River, inspecting the villages along the way to see the real conditions of the people.

After walking for more than 20 miles, it was Wang Jialing, Wang Laoben, and more than a dozen representatives of the farm cooperatives who greeted Zhu Yiyuan together.

"Zhu Qian is here, everyone welcomes you."

Good guy, there are gongs and drums prepared, playing and playing, that's a lot of fun.

But Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand and said: "No need, those who know are welcome to me, those who don't know think they are marrying a new wife!"

In a word, everyone was amused.

"Zhu Qian's matter, you can come here, I am happier than marrying a wife." Wang Laoben said to Zhu Yiyuan that this autumn harvest, every household has at least seven or eight hundred catties of grain. Since there is no need to pay land rent, it is calculated to each villager. On the head, there are more than two hundred catties of grain.

After decades, I finally don't have to go hungry.

"Zhu Qian's matter, our land allocation is almost done, and we are just waiting for the land deed to be issued. A total of more than 500 mu of land has been allocated in the village. The remaining [-] mu will be handed over to the capital. Some folks feel that it is not enough to grow, and want to rent more, just this land rent, I wonder if it is possible?"

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "This is [-]%, there is nothing else to say, after all, there are still people from outside who need to settle down."

Wang Laoben grinned and said: "I understand the truth about Zhu Qian, but some folks can't figure it out, and feel that it is not so comfortable to let outsiders rob the big guy's fields..."

Having mentioned this, Zhu Yiyuan's face darkened, and he passed Wang Laoben and looked at all the other members of the farm.

"You guys must understand that these migrant households did not fall from the sky. Some of them came from Zhangqiu and some from Zichuan. They were all poor people who were driven away by the Tartars. They also helped the big guys harvest crops a few days ago. , Among the soldiers who protect the big guys, there are more than 500 people who come from these outsiders. Let me ask you, if there is no protection from the soldiers, can these fields be preserved now?"

The members of the rural society shook their heads again and again, but still hesitated, "Of course not, it's just..."

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "It's just that I'm not happy in my heart, I want to get more...Here I can announce a new regulation, anyone who dares to provoke disputes, bully outsiders, or outsiders form a group to attack the villagers...will be severely punished. If it is serious, it will deprive the land and expel people, so it should not be under my rule."

Zhu Yiyuan's face sank, it was quite scary, don't forget that not long ago he killed hundreds of people in one go.

Just when Mr. Zhu is easy to talk?

Wang Laoben also stared at him, "Did you hear that, Zhu Qian's matter has been explained clearly, and he is still not satisfied, so get out carefully."

This time everyone dared not speak.

Zhu Yiyuan said again: "Folks, apart from producing land, there are actually a variety of industries in the countryside. There are many opportunities... In the past, the landlords and gentry squeezed the big guys. Every household had to work hard to cultivate the fields. After a year , The income is still not enough to fill the stomach. Now it is different. When the big guys can eat enough, they need to build houses, wear new clothes, need blacksmith stoves, woodworking shops, and also need schools so that children can study and be able to succeed in the future. "

"These will all be arranged and our days will only get better and better."

Wang Laoben couldn't help but said: "Zhu Qianshi, you said that you will allow the village's graduates to become officials after studying."

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will remember everything, just wait for Dongshan Gong to come back, and implement it immediately. Now we can let the young people read more books and get ready."

Hearing that Mr. Zhu was coming, the villagers enthusiastically sent two chickens to add to Mr. Zhu's food.

Zhu Yiyuan did not refuse either, but asked his rebels to take money from the vegetable gold and pay the villagers at the market price.As a result, the little soldier felt distressed.

"Fellow townsman, we have ordered things. We can't ask for things from the common people in vain. We don't have much food left over, and we want to buy some small chickens. When we grow up, we lay eggs every day. It's too much to eat all at once. wasted."

The villagers are all fresh, Dajun has something to eat, and he still needs to give money?
And why do soldiers raise their own chickens?
The little soldier patiently explained that they are soldiers of the younger generation, so they must trade fairly and not bully the common people.

In the military camp, the big guys are the same, orders must be executed unconditionally, but when it comes to living expenses, especially Cai Jin, the soldiers have the right to control.

The villagers were dumbfounded after hearing the explanation.

Good soldiers, good rules!

In the past, it was said that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron should not be nailed.Now it seems that it is really impossible to generalize.

Many young people came over to inquire about life in the military.

At this time, in a big pot, two chickens have been stewed until the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten. The mellow taste permeates the vegetables...Zhu Yiyuan, like the soldiers, filled a bowl of vegetable soup with only a few small pieces of chicken in it. , as good as a soldier, Zhu Yiyuan also said that it was much more delicious than usual.

It is true that the officers and soldiers are the same, and no one can enjoy special treatment.

"Zhu Qian's style of work is really great. Those foolish people who listened to Qian Qianyi's bewitching and went to Jinan are really a bunch of fools!"

It was a middle-aged scholar who was speaking, and he bowed deeply to Zhu Yiyuan, "I invite Xu Zhen to pay my respects to Zhu Qian."

Juren, the degree is quite high.

Zhu Yiyuan asked: "Mr. Xu?"

Xu Zhen said proudly: "As for Zhu Qian, 18 years ago, I wrote to the imperial court, hoping to confiscate the property of the rich. The land of Shandong, starting from the Confucius family, enriched the military and wiped out the old slaves. After the country is safe and the people are happy, I will find a way to return it. Family property. From then on, I will not be able to get a name in the exam."

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but be surprised. First, this person dared to speak up. Second, 18 years ago, how could he be 20 years old?Just pass the exam?Knowledge is not low.

"What is your plan to find me, sir?"

Xu Zhen smiled and said: "After all these years, I still feel that I am right. Now I am a little bit embarrassed, and I am eager to seek refuge with Qian Qianyi. I plan to ask Zhu Qian to confiscate their property. I am willing to help."

Zhu Yiyuan frowned slightly, "Sir, are you sure you can do well?"

"Well, my uncle has just fled to Jinan, so please start from the Xu family."
