Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 525 Junjie
The pig-headed squire also followed the bald-headed man and shouted: "Mr. Tan, you have let us down so much!"

"Hehe..." Xia Dan leaned on her stick, turned her head and smiled, "Who are you? No, you will soon not even be counted as elders."

"Everyone, this old man was a magistrate in the Yuan Dynasty, so he has a better understanding than you." After speaking, he looked at everyone, and said earnestly:

"At first, we thought that it would be the same no matter who became the emperor, and we had to rely on us to maintain the locality in order to keep the village in order and to ensure that the tax revenue would go up."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "But we underestimated Emperor Hongwu. The armor in his hand is the Han Dynasty's Tweet Order. How can this kind of conspiracy be broken? It can't be broken. We don't want it because we want to Eat alone, but what about those who couldn't eat in one bite before? I wish I could get a quick bite, so I can earn a lot of money.

"Originally, I was expecting the government to stand up to it, but in the end, there were no more officials and errands. I can only hope that the common people don't understand anything, inciting them to mess up the matter, but let that Highness do something strange. , relying on a group of beggars to wake up the common people." Xia Dan said with a wry smile:

"Now it's hard to get the common people to make trouble. Maybe they will turn back and help the court to get us. The right time, place and people are not on our side. Even Zhang Tianshi has been persuaded, and he still can't see clearly. The situation? Then the family deserves to be ruined!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the bald head and the pig's head with his crutches and said, "You two are willing to seek death with them, whatever you want. If you don't want to die, go to a meeting with the old man."

"I'll go with Mr. Tan." Finally someone figured it out, stepped forward to support Xia Dan and walked out.Then more people followed suit.

Only the bald and pig-headed ones, and a few rich and domineering households who were used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, still sat there with their necks stuck, cursing bitterly: "You cowards, we just don't go, let's see what they can do to me? !"

Not to mention the diehards, Xia Dan led a group of squires to the county government office that had become a barracks, and met Hu Ping, the captain of the Jiujiang work team.

As for the county magistrate here, he has already gone to the palace of the king of hell to find another job with his master bookkeeper and a thousand house scribes.

Now the entire Dehua County, and even Jiujiang Prefecture, is actually Hu Ping's final say.

Hu Ping is the third generation of Hujiazhuang. He was assigned to the sixth son by Mrs. Hu before. Last year, he was in charge of inspecting the production status of various textile factories in Suzhou.Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to be a member of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau by the sixth child.

This time, he was entrusted with an important task again, and became the chief secretary of Jiangxi Province, and he was directly in charge of it.

He was very aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and looked at the squires who filed in with a straight face.

After the squires saluted him, Hu Ping nodded slightly and said, "Are you all here?"

"Returning to experience, there should be 36 people today, but 24 people actually arrived." The clerk reported loudly.

"Okay." Hu Ping nodded, and asked again: "Why didn't those twelve people come?"

"I didn't ask my subordinates for leave, and my subordinates don't know." The clerk replied.

"Do you know?" Hu Ping looked at Xia Dan and the others again.

"This... the grassroots don't know either." Xia Dan and the others hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads.

"Don't you really know?" Hu Ping asked again.

"really do not know."

"Hehe." Hu Ping sneered, picked up a note with wet ink on the table, and read:
"Is it plausible! Beggars can threaten us, what kind of world is this?"

Xia Dan and the others felt as if they had been struck by five thunders upon hearing the words.This is exactly what they talked about at Xia Dan's mansion just now.

"It's the way of the world that a beggar can be an emperor..." Hu Ping continued: "Zhang Nianzu said, so the beggar turned over and rode on the heads of us, shitting and peeing..."

"The grassroots are guilty, I failed to stop them talking nonsense..." Xia Dan lost his mind, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your name is Xia Dan?" Hu Ping put down the piece of paper and asked.

"Yes." Xia Dan nodded.

"Although you can't be called loyal, you still know current affairs." Hu Ping said flatly: "Based on the standards of your Jiangxi gentry, it's pretty good."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord." Xia Dan hurriedly thanked her without saying a word, and then dared to wipe off his sweat.

"So I can give you a chance to cooperate with the imperial court to complete the Yellow Book and Lijia, and then all these crimes will be written off, and your whole family can go to Huguang to start again." Hu Ping paused and said: "Of course, if you don't cooperate well , it won’t be so cheap.”

"Yes, the grass people will definitely cooperate with all their strength." Before Xia Dan came in, she wanted to stay in her hometown as much as possible.But when he heard that the content of what he just said had been grasped by the government, his expectations were lowered, and it would be good if he could save his life.

"It's the same with you," Hu Ping glanced at the rest of the squires and said: "My words are over, who agrees and who opposes?"

"We will definitely cooperate with all our strength." Everyone hurriedly knelt down, and no one dared to say no.

In fact, when Hu Ping called them here, he did not discuss with them at all.Because His Highness told him that when dealing with these gangs of local tyrants and evil gentry, if there is any negotiation, there will be no negotiation.

The only language they can understand is power and butcher knives.

That's why His Highness ordered that all outstanding country gentry and elders in Jiangxi be included in the immigration list.If they leave their hometown and go to Huguang to make a fuss, it will be considered that they are really capable.

Sweep away the original power class, and then promote the Yellow Book and Lijia, and there will be no obstacles.

Of course, there is a gap between reality and ideals. For example, how many immigrants can Huguang accept, and when will it start?I don't believe it yet, so I can only keep them for now.Try to get them to stand on the last post, instead of smashing the cans and making trouble for His Highness.

Based on the experience he learned in Suzhou, Hu Ping came up with a trick of quantitative evaluation!
He ordered the clerk to distribute a piece of paper to Xia Dan and the others, and said in a deep voice, "This is a grading sheet. It is graded from three aspects. The criteria for grading are all written on it. Go back and take a good look."

"Yes." Xia Dan and the others hurriedly nodded, looking confused, but they didn't dare to ask.

"At that time, I will rank you according to your scores." He heard Hu Ping explain: "The high-ranking ones will be sent to Wuchang, Changsha and other good places to settle down; the low-ranking ones can only go to Yongzhou and Chenzhou. Those wild places were resettled."

"Ah..." Xia Dan and the others were stunned, the difference was too great.

Because Huguang is so big, good places like Wuchang and Changsha are even more prosperous than Nanchang.The poor places, such as Yongzhou and Chenzhou, are as wild as their southern Jiangxi, full of wild animals, and even miasma.

If he was dispatched to that kind of place, he would definitely be close to death...

"If you don't want to go to those wild places, just behave well." Hu Ping said in a deep voice.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, as well as the rattling of iron chains.

"What's the noise outside?" Hu Ping asked with a frown.

"Return to experience." An officer came in and reported: "Zhang Nianzu and other twelve criminals have been arrested!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the bald man and the pig head, as well as the gang of die-hard squires, tied up with chains and strung together in strings, and brought them to the main hall corridor.

"Show their shackles to the public." Hu Ping was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and directly ordered: "After I report to His Highness, I will execute them together!"
