Three days later, just after Chen Shi, there were more and more people in the square in front of the governor's yamen. The commanders, tutors, assistant officials, governors and thousands of households of Xi'an came from the garrison one after another.

The first one to arrive was Zhang Runda, the commander of Xi'an defender. He was about thirty years old, with a round face and a harmless smile on his face. Although he was dressed as a general, he seemed to be a rich man. At this time, he only came with two personal soldiers on horseback.

At this time, the generals and officials who came to his guard together gathered around him. It is not difficult to see that Zhang Runda's appearance was that although he had many annexed land and property of the military households in the garrison, he did not take it alone. The rank of the magistrates and thousands of households all had their own benefits. He was not very harsh when dealing with his military households. He only collected 50% of the rent, which was considered a kind of person who was not very ill-hearted.

Everyone was talking in a low voice, why did the governor summon the useless generals of the garrison station come to the meeting.

His family knows his family affairs. Although the garrison was also an armed force in the Ming Dynasty, there were border troops in Shaanxi to guard the border. The senior officials of the garrison were busy fighting for land and doing business. In name, each garrison had military quotas. The court often allocated money according to the heads of the people. In fact, even Zhang Runda himself could not remember where the soldiers under his training were last time. The court's salary was basically all put into the pockets of the generals. The soldiers below did not even drink soup, let alone the exercises.

Since the soldiers of the garrison have no daily exercises, even the township warriors in the county cannot defeat them. Now that the bandits in Shaanxi are rampant, is it possible that the governor wants the garrison to send troops to suppress the bandits?

Commander Gao Xunyou said, "Sir, for so many years, let alone the governor, we can't meet the governor and the censor, let alone summoning the generals of our garrison. The new governor suddenly remembered that our garrison was definitely not a good thing. This person was not a good person. Less than a month after he took office, the Biaoying in his hand had destroyed the bandits such as the King of Qi. I heard that the Zuo Erhu was stepped on by a horse and his corpse was gone. We must be careful to deal with such a powerful person. We will agree to whatever he says. Never force it!"

Zhang Runda smiled and said, "Old Gao, we have been together for twenty years. Have you ever seen me and others come to force you? Don't worry, I'm not a fool. We will do whatever the governor says. After all, we are all from the court, and we still know the superiors and inferiors!"

Commander Wu Litong said worriedly: "Is it because the governor wants to investigate the empty salary of the ward? That would be a problem. It would be fine if the governor wants to get serious, what should we do?"

Another assistant minister, Wang Shengcai, said, "I don't think it's not about investigating empty salary. If the governor really wants to do it, first, he will offend a large number of officials. Do you want to be an official? He pays attention to face and does things seriously. How can he continue to offend all people? Second, if he investigates empty salary, he would have sent people to the garage center openly and secretly. No matter which channel, I have not received any news about this, so I think it's not this matter!"

Seeing that his generals were looking at him, Zhang Runda smiled and said, "Don't guess it, no matter what matters, it's not a matter of one person. There are so many officials involved. The civil servants are most afraid of losing their future and reputation. If he really investigates it, it will cause public anger. The big guy organized the military households to make trouble. Is his future still necessary? Let's just wait and see, people who are better than us are here?" After saying that, he raised his chin in one direction. Everyone looked back and saw Liu Fuguo, the commander of the left guard, and came on horseback with twenty personal soldiers.

Zhang Runda's eyes rolled, and he greeted him with a smile, saying loudly from afar: "Brother Liu, one day is gone, and his spirit is even better than the past. I want to ruin my brother!"

Liu Fuguo turned over and got off the horse, and his personal soldiers led the horse aside. He was over 40 years old, thin and tall, with a high face and a cold face, giving people a feeling of gloomy and scheming.

Seeing Zhang Runda coming, Liu Fuguo looked like he was familiar with you, smiling slightly and said lightly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Zhang Yuanwai! Why, can you come to discuss the matter?"

He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Runda's short-term tenancy and thought it would ruin everyone's way to make money. For this reason, the military households of the Left Guard were extremely angry with Liu Fuguo. 20% of the tenancy rent could make the family richer. The military households dared not speak out, but they scolded him in private and made him smell bad. Some even used paper as a villain, wrote Liu Fuguo's name, and stabbed him with needles every day, saying that it was learning from the Seven Arrows Book of the Nail Head by Taoist Lu Ya, and he would be stabbed to death sooner or later. Liu Fuguo was so angry that he could not find who was doing it, so he had to give up.

Zhang Runda knew what he was thinking and secretly contemptuously said: "I eat meat, at least let the people below drink soup, otherwise who else will work hard for me? You old guy will take the pot away directly, and you deserve your subordinates to hate you!"

He continued to laugh quietly and said, "Brother Liu is joking. He is also the commander of the hereditary guard. He is the same level as Brother Liu, and has the same responsibilities. He is also a colleague in the court! Brother Liu likes to joke. When will he have time to inspect my ward station and let me drink with Brother Liu!"

Liu Fuguo didn't want to pay attention to him, and even wanted to swell his fat face and kick him away.

He did not take Zhang Runda's words and walked directly to the Governor's Office. At this time, the avant-garde commander Sun Zuowang had arrived. Zhang Runda stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically and walked into the yamen side by side with him, and his subordinates followed him in.

Everyone entered the office and saw eight guards of Chen Caigaoda's governor Biaoying standing on both sides of the lobby in front. The armor was bright and they stood solemnly with their swords, without looking at each other. The people in the garrison who were greeting and talking were silent and felt a solemn aura coming to their faces, making people tremble. Liu Fuguo and the other two walked in front, and their expressions became more and more upright.

After entering the spacious lobby, there was a huge desk at the front end, a screen behind the back blocking the view, and there was a row of seats on both sides of the lower side. Three commanders looked at each other. They were of the same level. No matter how they sat, one person would be in the starting position. Zhang Runda walked straight to the second chair on the left and sat down, and said with a smile: "The two adults are older than me in terms of age, so I'm not polite!"

Sun Zuowang was a little embarrassed, while Liu Fuguo sat on the first chair above Zhang Runda without hesitation. Sun Zuowang sat down opposite him, and the rest of the people followed the level. Some thousand households had no seats and could only stand behind their respective Shangguans.

Not long after everyone sat down, a loud voice sounded: "Governor is here!"

He heard a cry of cough, wearing a black robe and a tall Sun Chuanting turned out from behind the screen, glanced at everyone with a cold voice, and then sat down on the desk, Zhuang Yuanzhou stood at his side as a staff member.

Liu Fuguo and others stood up and gathered in the center of the Tang Dynasty. The grand ceremony of the governor cān       bài Governor, Sun Chuanting ordered them to get up, and everyone stood up one after another and returned to their original seats to take their seats.

Sun Chuanting pondered for a while and said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to govern Shaanxi. I have been in office for more than a month. Before coming here, I have a little knowledge of the situation in Shaanxi. I know that bandits here are everywhere, people's livelihood is declining, government orders are not smooth, and military discipline is abolished. Since taking office, I and my entourage have conducted open and secret investigations on prefectures and garrisons around Xi'an to make more people's feelings. Judging from my hearings and feedback from my entourage, the situation here is far beyond my entourage's imagination! To be honest, undercurrents are surging and civil unrest is about to break out. Once various opportunities come together, the land of Guanzhong will become another northern Shaanxi and Henan! Not only will I be ashamed of the trust and entrustment of the emperor, but my current wealth and glory will disappear, and even the lives of my family will be difficult to protect!"

The people in the garrison looked at each other and thought to themselves, what is the purpose of the governor saying this? There are indeed many thieves in Shaanxi, but most of them are concentrated in northern Shaanxi, and there are officers and soldiers who are fighting. As for civil rebellion, they are brave enough to give them the poor military households. The affairs of prefectures and counties have nothing to do with us. We are military generals, and civil servants will deal with them in civil affairs.

Sun Chuanting saw the expressions of the people clearly, and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "You all know that Shaanxi is the place where bandits started their own business. What is the reason? The people in northern Shaanxi have strong customs and have been an excellent source of soldiers since ancient times. Now they have been severe droughts for years and have no harvest of land. In order to survive, people sell their children and daughters, and even eat their children, which is a tragedy on earth. In this situation, some people with a mind-blowing mind were deceiving them with their hearts, so the people have changed. The hungry people broke the gentry manors, captured the county town, burned, killed and looted, and did everything they could. They suddenly turned from a simple peasant to a demonic bandit. In order not to affect their future, local officials concealed and concealed the emperor and the court. After the court knew the truth, the bandits were already strong and could not be suppressed!"

The people in the garrison felt that it was inexplicable. Today, the governor summoned everyone to come and said nothing has anything to do with us. We are in the garrison. Soldiers are not soldiers, and the people are not civilians. We live our own lives.

Sun Chuanting changed the subject after saying this: "Emperor Taizu Gao drove out the Tartars and founded our Ming Dynasty. He felt that it was not easy to raise soldiers, so he imitated the Li Tang Dynasty's military system and established garrisons in various places, stationed farms in various places, controlled the land and reduced the burden on the people. Since the implementation of the garrison system, his effectiveness has been remarkable. He served as a farmer in daily life, and used his land to produce and support his troops. If the system was implemented, the world would be peaceful and peaceful. However, what has become of the garrison now? It has become a place where some people have damaged public welfare and private welfare, embezzled and deducted military funds, reselled military funds, and even transported bandits, embezzled public fields and military household registrations and divided the land, and used military households to be like pigs and dogs, hiding dirty and dirty land!"

Sun Chuanting's voice became stern and looked at everyone with a cold look. The general of the ward station thought to himself, he was finally here.

"I was dressed in a vain in the left guard of Xi'an some time ago. The military households I met were all poor and poor. I asked about the reasons, and they all pointed to the senior officials of the garrison in open and secretly. They said that more than 2,000 hectares of land in the garrison, and someone occupied more than 60% of them. The military household cultivated the fields under his name and became his tenant farmers. The tenant rent was as high as 70%. Ordinary military households worked hard for a year and had a few meals! Their residences were all yellow mud thatch, which did not avoid the cold in winter and did not cover the heat in summer. Some military households even had only a pair of pants, and whoever went out would wear them! But I saw that someone lived in a large scale, with carved beams and painted roofs and many slaves, although they did not have any more than 100% of their garlands.

I once went inside to look at it in detail, but I could see the leopard, which shows the luxury of daily life! He had dozens of thugs under his command to suppress those who dared to resist. Military households dared not speak out. Those who had stewards under his subordinates relied on their power to do whatever they wanted and seized them. The family property was increasing, while military households became increasingly poor, and there were many fugitives. The entire garrison was full of complaints, and the people were in a turbulent manner, like surging water. One day, the dike would collapse and the dam would come out. By then, some people would be ruined and their families would be destroyed!" At the end, Sun Chuanting slapped the table suddenly, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Liu Fuguo's face was sallow, cold sweat was faintly seen on his forehead, and his body was shaking slightly. Zhang Runda and Sun Zuowang were also pale, their backs were wet, and the other generals and officials who were unclean under their butts were also fighting each other. They dared not speak, and only a few were honest and did not act too much. They treated the military gentlemen with their hands.

Sun Chuanting's tone was cold and continued, "You three guards in Xi'an should have more than 20,000 registered officers and soldiers. Although the imperial court did not impose timely distribution, military pay was often distributed on the ground. I ask you, how many soldiers can fight under your jurisdiction? How many military households can escape? How many military households can escape or even join the thief team? Do you know how many military households want to eat your meat and drink your blood? When I left the capital, I received the emperor's imperial sword. I was about to try whether his attack was a good one. Did you think I dare not kill you?!" Sun Chuanting shouted loudly.

The spacious lobby was silent, and even a needle fell to the ground could be heard. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe. The three of Liu Fuguo, the leader, were like a steamer, steaming hot. Zhuang Yuanzhou coughed, and a dozen guards outside the hall rushed into the lobby with a rush, and they all drew their swords in their hands and glanced at the people inside. Everyone in the guardhouse felt their necks were chilly, as if the knife was already on it.

Finally, someone could not bear the strong pressure. With a thud, Zhang Runda stood up from the chair and knelt on the ground, sweating profusely on his face and shouted hoarsely: "Sir, although the officials have embezzled a lot of land and embezzled a lot of military pay, the officials have not been too much for their military households, and only 50% of the rent is charged. The officials are willing to return the occupied land to forgive the previous crime! I hope the officials will give them a chance!" After saying that, he kowtowed to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Zuowang and Liu Fuguo also knelt down one after another, and swore to speak similar words to what Zhang Runda said. Then the guards all knelt down to the ground, repeating roughly the same words loudly or in a low voice.

Sun Chuanting did not let everyone get up. He glanced at the people in the hall and said in a heavy tone: "Don't think that I am an alarmist. If the bandits enter Guanzhong, the military households in the garrison will respond in groups. I came to Shaanxi not only to put out fires everywhere, but also to prevent problems before they happen. For the stability of Shaanxi, the country, the emperor, and the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will spare no effort. Who dares to disobey and hinder my official actions? Humph, then let him become the one who sacrifices the flag!"

After saying that, everyone got up, the people in the ward stood up tremblingly and returned to their original position. Zhuang Yuanzhou waved his hand, and the personal guards of Biaoying took their swords and retreated.

Sun Chuanting said, "I have many major tasks to do, so the matter of clearing the land must be completed as soon as possible. I will give you a month to return the occupied land. The commander reserves 5,000 mu of land at the first level, 3,000 magnitude of land, 1,000 magnitude of land, 500 magnitude of land in the first level, and those who have purchased the land under their name will retain it. The land of the military households will be distributed to households according to the original number, and the rent of public land will be reduced to 30%, and the number of soldiers in the garrison will be abolished. This official has already gone to the court.
