Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 492 The New Governor
A main hall of Zhaojue Temple was blown up. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in Chengdu. Soon there was news that the explosion in Zhaojue Temple and the explosion in Ye Gonggong’s mansion were done by the same murderer, and the purpose was to assassinate Eunuch Ye, but for unknown reasons, it was detonated ahead of time.

The Dharma conference is about to be held there, and the eminent monks and living Buddhas are almost there. If this kind of thing happens at this time, how can the Dharma conference be held?

Ye Gonggong was "furious" and immediately ordered the government to arrest the murderer. At the same time, he sent troops to blockade Zhaojue Temple, and then conducted a thorough search of the whole temple to avoid any hidden explosives.

Originally, Ye Xun planned to order Sun Dong to send out the explosives, but after talking with two Tibetan monks, he changed his mind and moved the explosion time forward, and tried not to hurt anyone. Fortunately, the explosion result was as expected almost.

Ye Gonggong's strict order to track down the murderer was unanimously praised by the eminent monks and living Buddhas present at the meeting. This kind of thing is scary when you think about it. If the explosion happens on the day when the Dharma conference is held, it is uncertain how many people will be killed Woolen cloth.

Among all the praises, only the monks of Zhaojue Temple spat out, because the officers and soldiers quarantined all the monks for inspection on the grounds that there were assassins in the temple. In this way, the entire monastery fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

After the review was completed, the eminent monk in charge of the management of the temple property suddenly discovered that all the money accumulated in the temple over the years had disappeared, and many land deeds were missing.

You must know that the incense in Zhaojue Temple has always been very good, the monks are well-managed, and with the donations of lay Buddhists and pilgrims, over the years, they have accumulated no less than one million taels of silver, but they don't want these things to suddenly disappear. Ask, it must be the officers and soldiers guarding themselves.

The distraught master Hongzhi immediately came to find Eunuch Ye, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Ye was meeting with the new governor of Chengdu, Hong Chengchou, so he had no time to talk to him.

Master Hongzhi also lost his temper, so he simply waited in the living room. If Eunuch Ye didn't see him, he wouldn't leave.

Ye Xun doesn't care if he waits or not, since Hong Chengchou has arrived, let me explain that he is going to Lhasa with Ngawang Luosang.

Strictly speaking, Hong Chengchou arrived a bit late. Firstly, the road was difficult to travel. In addition, he had to handover with the official who replaced him before he could leave.

Under the leadership of Ye Xun, the border towns from Datong to Taiyuan are all building roads, so Hong Chengchou is also very busy with his official duties.

In the end, Ye Xun made up his mind to use Hong Chengchou. This time and space has no chance for him to be a traitor, and Hong Chengchou is indeed a very capable official.

Hong Chengchou was also very excited to see the legendary Eunuch Ye. After briefly reporting to Ye Xun what happened in Shaanxi, under Ye Xun's guidance, he began to communicate with Ye Xun about what he should do after taking over as governor of Sichuan.

"Elder-in-law, the lower officials think that the focus of governing the land of Shu should be placed on the Miao people. If the Miao people are stable, the land of Shu will be stable. However, we should not indulge these people blindly, otherwise it will be easy to develop arrogance and indulgence in them. Those who do not obey Wanghua should be resolutely eliminated, and those who are more docile should also be divided into groups, so that they can gradually integrate into the Han people, so it will be much easier to manage.”

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou showed a look of admiration on his face, and continued: "Elder-in-law's free school is really a stroke of genius. No matter who you are, you can only know the etiquette if you learn the etiquette. Let the Miao dolls have books to read. This is a specimen." The way of governing concurrently is admired by lower officials."

Ye Xun smiled and waved his hands and said, "Hehe! Master Hong has won the prize. Has Master Hong thought about it, what will happen if the government's finances are tight and the teachers' salaries cannot be paid?"

"Your official knows that the current salaries of the gentlemen are actually paid by the father-in-law, and this is definitely not a long-term solution. The official has been thinking about this matter on the way here. There are many merchants in Chengdu, and there are tea horses at the border. If the business tax is slightly raised to pay the salaries of the gentlemen, isn’t it more than enough? The rest can be used to build bridges and pave roads.

Hong Chengchou didn't know that Ye Xun's trip to the middle of Sichuan was quite fruitful, and it was a drop in the bucket to spend some money to pay the gentlemen's salaries.

But Hong Chengchou was able to think about things so carefully, and finally he was able to let Ye Xun leave with peace of mind.

He nodded and said: "There are many ethnic groups in Shu, so the increase of business tax must be done carefully, and at the same time, it must be well supervised. You must not do the thing of drinking poison to quench your thirst. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to tax the common people."

"The issue of ethnicity has always been a problem for the governments of various places. There are not only Miao people in Shu. You must treat them equally as much as possible so that there will be no chaos. As you said, if there are any tribes that do not obey Wang Hua, they will never You can't be pampered and indulged, with General Qin helping you in this regard, you can do whatever you want."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Do you know of a boy named Li Zicheng? Yes! He is about fifteen or sixteen years old now, and he is from Mizhi Li Jiqian's village."

Hong Chengchou was taken aback, shook his head subconsciously, and said, "Forgive me for being ignorant and ignorant, I have never heard of this name, is this old acquaintance of my father-in-law?"

Ye Xun smiled and said: "Send someone to look for it. By the way, there is another man named Zhang Xianzhong. They are about the same age. After finding them, stay with you and see them again when I come back."

Historically, the famine in Shaanxi was severe in the last years of the Apocalypse. These two brothers rose up separately. Now they will definitely not be given this chance again, but such dangerous elements must be strictly guarded. If it is not possible, they can be released. Harm others.

Hong Chengchou agreed with doubts in his mind, and then asked: "How many troops does my father-in-law plan to bring into Tibet? As far as I know, there are not many Tibetans in the army in central Shu. If there are too few guards, I am afraid it will be dangerous. After all There has been dissatisfaction with Wang Hua for a long time.”

"My lord's one hundred bodyguards are enough, but the Dalai Lama is going to give me the title of Tenzin Chogyel. With this title in the snowy area, it is worth a hundred thousand troops."

Ye Xun did not go to Tibet to fight, and as Hong Chengchou said, the army in central Shu began to recruit soldiers from the plateau area in a targeted manner, and they would not be able to use them in a short time. any effect.

The two of them had such an in-depth conversation that they had been talking about it since the afternoon, and they ate dinner in the study.

Hong Chengchou knew that this kind of treatment was not available to everyone, and while he was grateful, he also had a more intuitive understanding of Ye Xun.

How can a person who is so dedicated to his work and can always take the national economy and the people's livelihood into his heart be a traitor?

After Hong Chengchou left, the guards reported that Master Hongzhi was still in the living room.

Ye Xun was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, this great monk is persistent enough!
If you want to say no, think about it or go to the living room in person. You have to have an attitude about this matter, but you can't admit it anyway, otherwise Eunuch Ye's tall and glorious image will collapse.
