Chapter 277 Why don't you die?(1/2)
There are many officials standing on the mountain bag, including the magistrate of Suqian, the magistrate of Yu Xipu, and the chief clerk Zhong Anling.
There are also Liu Shijing, the magistrate of Shuyang, Han Jingcun, the chief clerk Chen Neng, Liu Zhuo, the magistrate of Suqian, and Li Zigu, the magistrate of Guirenti, and others.
Except for local officials in Suqian, most of the rest have nothing to do with this "Mahe River Blocking" project. However, how rare is this opportunity for the Governor to come?
There is no excuse, but you have to find excuses.
For example, local officials in Shuyang thought that after the "Banma River" was dug, the lake water was poured into Shiqiu Lake, but Shiqiu Lake also had river channels connecting Sangxu Lake and Shuoxiang Lake in the territory, which was linked to the county affairs.
They also had an excuse, and under the leadership of the magistrate Liu Shijing, they rushed to Shi Kefa, the governor of the canal transportation, to work hard.
Earlier, Yang He met with him, and everyone was not concerned about his affairs, so he stood aside and watched with interest. Especially Liu Shijing, the magistrate of Shuyang, looked at Yang He thoughtfully and looked again and again.
But when it comes to the affairs of the local village heroes, everyone became energetic. When talking about Suqian, Shi Kefa had not spoken yet, Suqian County chief clerk Zhong Anling could not sit still.
He came out and said, "Of course not."
He said: "There have been a certain rule on the affairs of the village soldiers, and all prefectures and counties are under the jurisdiction of the local government. If Mr. Yang Lian wants to join forces with the village soldiers of the two places, he can report to Suzhou Zun first, and then discuss with Wang County Zun and his subordinates. How can he be reckless and interfere in the affairs of the county at will?"
Zhong Anling's eyes were a little cold, and he had some thorns when he spoke.
He was in charge of river defense in Suqian County and also served as General Manager Li. When he came out, his face looked a little unhappy.
He looked at Yang He, and was still jealous in the cold.
Yes, it's just jealousy. I miss him that Zhong Anling studied hard for many years and finally won the imperial examination. However, decades have passed, and he has become an old scholar. At the age of fifty, he is still on the ninth rank official position. He is obviously only a ninth rank in his life.
The boy opposite is just a scholar, no one is a juren, and he is still a slutty girl, and he has not yet had a family, and he has no son. He is now in the seventh rank official position and has a bright future.
Whenever I think about it, my jealousy and unwillingness would bite his heart like a poisonous snake.
Earlier, the matter was nothing to do with him. Even though he was jealous, he still stood by and endured it silently. Now this guy still wants to interfere in his own power, which is tolerant, but who is unbearable!
Although Zhong Anling couldn't do this job well, it doesn't mean he could accept that others had taken away his power.
So he stood up.
Shi Kefa frowned slightly, and Zhong Anling's tone made him uncomfortable, although what he said was reasonable.
However, he has been an official for many years and has the most contacts with such officials in his life. He is incompetent in his work and is eager to fight for power and profit. He feels even more angry in the officialdom and is a little disliked by Zhong Anling.
He said to Yang Hedao: "Be careful when the two places unite, what do you think?"
Yang He glanced at Zhong Anling and said, "The affairs of the battlefield are changing rapidly. The thieves come and go like the wind. If all parties discuss it, they may not be able to see the thieves. If the soldiers from Suqian Township do not return to the lower officials to command directly, the lower officials will be powerless. Only Zhong Lian will find a way to solve the Suqian affairs."
Zhong Anling was anxious. He was greedy for power, but his family knew his family's affairs and he was powerless to do anything to those bandits.
Because of this, the county magistrate has blamed him many times. If this continues, his official position may not be guaranteed.
He said, "How could Mr. Yang Lian shirk responsibility like this? You have strong soldiers and defeated the thieves several times. You just have the heart to see Lin County suffer? Do you have a lot of reading poetry and books on sages, but you don't have the heart to serve the country and the people?"
Yang He was so upset by him: "If you want your horse to run fast without giving it to your horse, how can you be so cheap in the world? Don't you think you are good? You go."
Zhong Anling said for granted: "In terms of military affairs, the officials are indeed inferior to General Yang Lian. If they fight, they will probably lose their troops and kill and in vain. Therefore, General Yang Lian will still stand up..."
Yang He broke out: "Why can you lose if I win in a war? You are such a waste, why don't you die?"
Yang He shouted sternly, pointed his finger at Zhong Anling's nose, and scolded him angrily.
The mountain was silent, and everyone was stunned. Even Shi Kefa looked at Yang He in surprise, just as he knew him for the first time.
Zhong Anling trembled all over and his whole body trembled: "I am crazy, I am crazy. People say that you, Yang He, is domineering, domineering, disrespectful to your superiors, disrespectful to your colleagues, embezzling spoils, etc. The subordinates don't believe it, but now they believe it."
He shivered, with a very aggrieved look. He seemed to be so insulted by his juniors, and his heart was ashamed of tears and his eyes were blurred.
But there was another vicious counterattack in his tone, which seemed to touch the governor's heartstring, making him think that this man is arrogant, aggressive and cannot be used.
Dai Guozhu, the general of protecting the canal and preventing the river, looked at each other with the gang of the Gu Daoxing. This kind of biting between the literati really makes people enjoy watching it. It doesn’t matter to them. They are happy to watch the show.
At the same time, Yang He suddenly became angry, which also shocked the two of them. The young practitioner's gentle appearance was as sharp as a knife in the blink of an eye, as if he had a disagreement and would have to splatter five steps. It seemed that this young man was not easy to mess with.
The officials next to him also frowned and were a little displeased with Yang He. As Zhong Zhubu said, this person was indeed domineering.
Why do you say that Zhong Anling is also a senior, a qualified official, you are a student of Yanghe who relies on your ability to fight some wars and do not take everyone seriously? If you are a colleague in the future, how can you get along with you? If you are your boss, will everyone be more miserable?
The staff behind Shi Kefa were very interested in watching, especially those young staff members, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
Some young screenwriters even had a look of admiration in their eyes.
They always hate these zombie-like officials and have no choice but to hate them.
At this time, Yang Lian always scolded him happily and asked them to die directly, and they also felt happy in their hearts.
At the same time, everyone heard the word "trophy" and felt aroused.
Yang He glanced at him and everyone's expressions were vivid in his mind. In fact, the explosion just now was anger on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was intentional on the other hand.
As a businessman in later generations, he understood what maximization of interests is and what acting is.
He just wants to give people an impression that he is enterprising, has outstanding abilities, and is also very powerful, giving people a sense of no scheming, which makes many people angry and let go of their guards.
After all, people generally believe that old foxes in the officialdom are more difficult to deal with, and it is still easy for young people who are a bit arrogant.
This image is more suitable for him. Young people should look like young people. After all, he is only nineteen years old this year. How could he have experienced many vicissitudes of life and age?
He also wants to give the world an impression that he is not a person who is easy to talk to, and he is not a person who can bully it casually, and also avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Whether in this era or in the future, there is an iron rule: people are bullied by others, and horses are ridden by others.
This kind of bad nature will not change in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
In the chaotic times, Yang He didn’t need others to love him, he just needed others to be afraid of him.
In this way, there are fewer unnecessary troubles, and people who are truly in need and willing to cooperate will come to cooperate.
He looked at Zhong Anling and said angrily: "If you don't have a diamond, don't take on porcelain work! I, Yanghe, have been invincible in training troops, and I will be able to defeat all the attacks. I have won several great victories and killed more thieves at a time. Gaoxianzun and Suzhouzun are always happy. However, this does not mean that I can be driven by others and do those extra work!"
He quietly advertised himself, whispered the credit, and continued to angrily: "As for some of the seized spoils, it's good. After all the parties share the benefits, I will eat the rest! So what? I'll fight the thief with my head. Can't I eat it just by seizing it?"
He angrily said, "After winning the battle, the soldiers will be rewarded. Usually, their labor and food silver is only five cents a month. I know what five cents can do? Now the price of rice is more than two taels per stone! If you don't eat it, will the soldiers eat the northwest wind?"
Zhong Anling blushed and pointed at Yang He, "You...you..."
Everyone around him fell into deep thought. In this way, it was not easy for Mr. Yang Lian to say that.
At the same time, everyone's hearts moved. Although Yang He was a little domineering, it was understandable, after all, he was young.
Moreover, he was fighting sharply and always received good news. If he had such a subordinate, he would be able to take credit while lying down.
In this way, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
General Dai Guozhu and the general Gu Daoxing glanced at Zhong Anling and were seized after the war and were owned by the victorious soldiers. This is the rule of various places. The person surnamed Zhong mentioned this matter with ulterior motives.
Finally, Yang Hedao: "For the sake of the soldiers' food, although I have gained something, most of my official has devoted himself to the reclaiming wasteland. Such a loyal heart for the country is still full of criticism. The accusers are blind and should be struck by lightning."
Everyone next to him had different expressions, and Zhong Anling's face was even more purple.
The situation took a sharp turn, and it seemed that everyone's sympathy for him was gone and he was scolded in vain?
Shi Kefa said strangely: "Be careful, are you still reclaiming wasteland?"
Yang Hedao: "Return to the governor, yes, Xiaguan lives on the north bank of the river, and there are quite some wasteland along the coast. Xiaguan asked the soldiers to reclaim the fields and talked to Gaoxian Zun. He also supported it very much. The cultivated fields would not be collected for three years. When he went to Pizhou, Xiaguan was also preparing to reclaim wasteland and reduce the food burden of the warehouses in the city. He also hoped to get the support of the soldiers, so that the soldiers would not be collected for three or five years, and give them the opportunity to cultivate and nourish the farm."
Shi Kefa said: "This is what it means."
He was very pleased: "It's hard for you."
The Ming Dynasty has always been very supportive of military and civilians in the reclaimed wasteland. For example, if there is no tax collection for three or five years, or after three years of maturity, only a little cow silver was levied per hectare of land, and many places even levy tax-free grain for more than ten years.
Of course, policies are policies, and it is easy for the people to reclaim wasteland, but it is difficult to establish a land contract in a household house, unless there are enough benefits to the officials in the inner city.
They often change orders every day, or transfer officials to the office. The following officials do not care about it, and tax the land they reclaim, or transfer the officials, gentry and powerful people, and transfer the tax and grain they deserve to pay to these people.
The soil of Huaian Prefecture is not good in nature, with frequent floods and droughts. Even after land reclamation, there are often no harvests in the first year, a small harvest in the second year, and barely some harvests in the third year.
If you are taxed or transferred, and you are unable to make ends meet, isn’t it equivalent to doing nothing? Thanks for your hard work?
People reclaim land for harvest, not for overpaying. Various reasons lead to their unwillingness to reclaim wasteland.
However, at least in terms of name, governments in various places encourage military and civilians to reclaim wasteland.
Therefore, Shi Kefa was pleased with Yang He's behavior of actively reducing the burden on the government.
For Yang He, he only had to delay for three years, and five years would be better, even if he paid some money at that time, it would be fine. According to the principle of the official tax, the summer tax and autumn grain in the entire Huaian Prefecture was less than 400,000 shi of grain, which was even less than silver.
When he reclaimed wasteland, he would not have conflicts with interest groups for the time being. After all, there were not many other things in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but there were more wastelands.
Not to mention the current situation in Henan, Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture and other places in southern China, after all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, bandits are raging, and they are almost scorched earth ruins. The fertility is over acres and has become a deserted desert, with no one in the thousands of miles.
It is just other places. For example, when the new Baoding Governor Xu Biao came to Beijing, he told the emperor that he had traveled thousands of miles from the north of Jianghuai, and often walked for several days and nights, and never encountered a person who had plowed the fields on the road.
There is no sound everywhere, the road is full of weeds, the resources are exhausted, the emperor has almost no people and no land.
So for Yang He, at this time, he did not lack land, only population, and the silver and food for reclaiming.
...
At this time, anyone could see the love and protection of General Yang Lian. Wang Fangnian, the magistrate of Suqian, coughed and said, "In fact, the officials thought that as long as Lord Yang reported it later and Suzhou Zun agreed, it would be okay for Suqian Township soldiers to return to the prefecture to command."
Zhong Anling looked at Wang Fangnian incredibly. He came out to interfere, and Wang Fangnian's instructions were also behind him.
But now the Wang surnamed took him out, leaving a good impression on the governor and Yang surnamed, and becoming a villain?
For a moment, he felt a little sad and depressed. Could it be that he is really old?
To be continued...
