On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 68 Taiyuan Wang Clan

Chapter 68 Taiyuan Wang Clan
"So, Zicheng plans to start with the Wang family first?"

In the main hall of the Government Office of Bingzhou General Administration, Yang Guang laughed after listening to Cui Che's thoughts on checking the fields and hidden households.

Cui Che repeated a lot before, and felt thirsty, so he poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and then replied:
"The gentry of Bingzhou look forward to the Wang family's leadership. If they can get their land to return to the people, the rest of the family should follow suit."

Hearing this, Yang Guang shook his head helplessly and said:

"Zicheng can be regarded as giving me a problem."

Cui Che disagreed and said:

"That depends on whether His Royal Highness King Jin is willing to win over the Taiyuan Wang family, or whether he cares more about His Majesty's opinion."

The reason is very simple. Cutting the flesh from the Taiyuan Wang family will inevitably infringe on their interests, but if the Taiyuan Wang family is spared, and the investigation of the fields and hidden households makes a lot of thunder and little rain, it will inevitably arouse Yang Jian's dissatisfaction. Maybe he still has to leave an incompetent evaluation in his heart.

"Fortunately, my father sent me to be the governor of Bingzhou. If I go to Hebei, I don't know where to start."

The so-called five surnames and seven families, the Li family in Longxi is in Guanxi, the Wang family in Taiyuan is in Bingzhou, the Zheng family in Xingyang is in Henan, and the remaining Cui family in Boling, Cui family in Qinghe, Lu family in Fanyang, and Li family in Zhaojun are all crowded in Hebei.

Yang Guang's happiness and Cui Che also felt the same way, he jokingly said:
"If His Royal Highness the King of Jin goes out to Hebei, Che would not dare to join the army at the critical time of checking the fields."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with the officials in charge of checking the fields and hidden households in Hebei.

After the joke, back to the topic, Yang Guang asked:

"If the Wang family is the first, what should we do?"

"Be the first to salute and then the soldiers."

"Who will give this gift?"

"It's not Your Highness, Che can't think of a second choice."

Yang Guang knew that what Cui Che said was the truth, even if Cui Che, Yang Xuangan and others went up together, they couldn't match his face alone.

After the answer, he immediately ordered people to send stickers to the Wang family, and invited the heads and clan elders of all the houses in Bingzhou to have a banquet when they rested and bathed in four days.

In the interval, Cui Che naturally proposed to send his confidants to pretend to first find out the real situation of the land distribution in Taiyuan County in secret, to investigate and make unannounced visits, so as to be sure of the bottom line, so as not to be deceived by others.

Cui Che left Yang Guang and went to his own office to meet the officials of Cao.

There are six posts in the Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion, namely, Jishi, Hucao, Cangcao, Facao, Bingcao, and Shicao.

Cui Che, the chief officer of Liucao, was familiar with them all. They were all brought to Jinyang by Yang Guang. Among them, Pei Xiu was the one who joined the army, but the rest of the officials were strangers.

Unlike the frequent transfer of officials, most of these officials are rooted here. Before Yuwen Shenju was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, they served Yuwen Shenju. After Li Mu took over as the governor of Bingzhou, they worked for Li Mu again, and now they have to continue Work for Yang Guang.

In the order of meeting, Cui Che deliberately arranged Hu Cao at the end. When Hu Cao joined the army and led a group of officials to visit, Cui Che gave them a task on the spot.

Hu Cao joined the army to assign officials to the 23 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Bing prefecture, except Bing prefecture, to supervise and urge each prefecture to check the land and household registration.

Each state has its own administrative team, and there is no need for Cui Che to arrange them one by one.

The reason why he specifically asked Bingzhou was because Yang Guang was also the governor of Bingzhou.

At that time, when the investigation operation is carried out in Bingzhou, it is necessary to mobilize the household Cao officials of the governor's office.

Although most of the authority of Bingzhou Governor's Office is occupied by the General Manager's Office, don't underestimate its scale. There are 320 officials in total, such as joining the army and joining the army, plus assistant officials.

The scale of the general manager's mansion is even bigger, and Cui Che will never be short of manpower.

Brother Che and the officials of Cao, the general manager of the government, have repeatedly emphasized the importance of the investigation, and they have spoken with them first. If anyone dares to insist on this issue, make a move, and review it afterwards, he will be severely punished.

Everyone should be one by one, Hu Cao joined the army and dare not neglect, as one of Yang Guang's staff, of course he knows that this matter must not be careless, the emperor in Chang'an City is watching.

Back in the wing room, after Cui Che, Hu Cao Canjun once again emphasized the importance of urging the states to investigate, threatening anyone who dares to fool, or accept bribes, to cover up for others, and the king of Jin blames it, but it will be dead.

Most of the officials went home to pack their bags and prepared to go to the states to supervise, leaving only a small number of officials to maintain the operation of the government office.

Except for Bingzhou in Shanxi, the rest of the states have actually started the investigation.

Although the general manager's office is in charge of the military and civilian administration of the 24 states, it has no right to issue edicts to the localities instead of the central government. For example, to check the land and hidden households, the Chang'an court directly issued orders to the states.

Bingzhou has not been developed, and it is also because Yang Guang has not been in office for a long time.

In addition to offering sacrifices to ancestors, the ancestral hall is also a place for grandchildren of each house to handle events such as marriage, funeral, birthday, and celebration. However, it also has an important function, that is, clan relatives discuss important matters here.

The important people who stayed in Bingzhou from each house of the Wang family in Taiyuan gathered here after receiving Yang Guang's invitation.

"There is no good feast, this is to cut our flesh!"

The clan elder from an unknown house sat on a chair, tapped the ground with his cane, and said indignantly.

Some people who usually did not deal with him sneered and said:
"Could it be possible to refuse!"

Someone else interjected:

"It's better to sell one to the King of Jin when we go to the banquet, and give up some fields and hidden households, so that the King of Jin can make business with the court."

"Hmph! Did it belong to your family, mine, or who else!"

"Everyone should come out a little bit."

"Heh! Could it be that you really think that all the people in your clan are like your family, and some of them are servants of fertile land, so you don't feel sorry for that bit of land!"

"Then I can't let me contribute to the clan alone!"

"This won't work, and that won't work, there must be a way!"

Taiyuan Wang's ancestral hall has not been so lively for a long time. When everyone was arguing and arguing, someone suggested:
"Why don't you discuss it after seeing King Jin's attitude when you go to the banquet?"

"Makes sense."

"Extremely true."

So everyone dispersed, waiting to go to the banquet four days later, to touch Yang Guang's bottom.

In fact, this group of important people in the Wang family knew that under the power of the imperial court, land and hidden households should be given up or had to be given up, but how much should be given up and who should give up their interests are the focus of their discussions.

On the first day on duty, besides assigning tasks to the Hucao officials, Cui Che mainly received the officials and got familiar with the operation of the General Manager's Mansion.

In Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion, as a long history, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

Sima Yang Xuangan, who is on the same level as Cui Che in the official ranks, is inferior, because the most important thing about the Bingzhou General Manager's Office is civil affairs, not military affairs.
