On May 21, the sixth year of Yongli, the civil servants of Jinhua Prefecture City, the county government office and the Jinhua Town, Meng Zhejiang Governor Cao Conglong rushed to the Jiufang Lane in Zicheng.↖,

Jiufang Lane is named after Qijia Jiufang. As a representative of Jinhua wine, it was once written into "Jin Ping Mei", but later generations still have objections to the source of the wine that Ximen Qing likes. However, this did not affect Jiufang Lane's status as the most famous street in Jinhua City, because it was also the yamen of the former inspector's Censor's Office and the Jinhua Guard Thousand House, as well as the ruins of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Secretariat's Palace in later generations, and now it has a temporary Zhejiang Governor's Office.

I hurried to the Zhejiang Governor's Office. At first glance, it seemed that the guards had been completely replaced by Luo Chengyan's white-headed army, which had recently been recruited. However, they had already been dominated by the King of Lu, and even the number had been changed to Zhejiang Governor's Biao Camp, and they could no longer be regarded as the rebels.

However, for these officials who have seen the soldiers brought by the former Dalan Mountain Ming Army and later Chen Wen, the quality of these soldiers in the Pacifier camp is really worrying, that is, they are not as strict as the former, nor are they like the latter, and they also take into account the momentum of the ever-victorious army. Isn’t Cao Conglong’s reunion to pay military salaries?

Fortunately, these things are not under their control, and they have no right to report the news, nor are they interested in touching Cao Conglong's bad intentions. They are now waiting for the meeting slowly.

From the first civil servant arrived, until the recruited people were almost all, Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture, rushed to the scene. The Ming army in Jinhua is now in the confrontation with the Qing army in Quzhou, and the food and grass are consumed a lot. A few days ago, the water camp took away a large number of military supplies. In addition, the summer tax has begun, and the emergency affairs at hand have not been completed. I really don’t know what the Zhejiang governor who ignores common affairs is thinking. He insists on convening everyone for a meeting in the busiest time now.

After waiting for another half an hour, the whispers of the crowd had turned into open chats, and even Sun Yu had already thought of leaving. Cao Conglong and Lu Wenlong, who had been transferred to the Zhejiang Governor's Office, walked out of the back hall.

This slow and leisurely manner of Shangguan really made the officials who came from Dalanshan frown. In the past, when Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were there, they would always deal with things as soon as possible. Even the military general Chen Wen was like that. Such a peaceful and elegant manner really makes people uncomfortable. But it is useless to not adapt. Cao Conglong is the governor of Zhejiang, so he naturally has the right to do so.

After seeing the li, Cao Conglong signaled everyone to sit down, and then began to inquire about the progress and results of the handling of government affairs by each official to understand the actual situation of each official.

Since Chen Wen went to the expedition, the land acquisition matter was temporarily stopped. At present, the most important task of the officials of Jinhua Prefecture is nothing more than the acquisition and transportation of military supplies and the routine summer tax. The summer tax is still collected according to the old rules. Strengthen inspection and management to prevent the people from being exploited by minor officials. The acquisition and transportation of military supplies are participated by the military officials in Jinhua Town, and they are supervised by military judges. Although they are not very happy, they can only do this for the time being. After all, the Ming army in Jinhua has a weak foundation and cannot afford to lose in a battle. It is best to mention it after the war.

Seeing that most of the people were dissatisfied with the army's intervention in logistics, Cao Conglong said according to the topic: "I remember when Wang Jingluo was alive and when Wang Jiang was still there, the government affairs were always the civil servants. Why was it the military general's turn to intervene in the military affairs?"

Hearing this, the lobby was immediately quiet. Cao Conglong planned to take advantage of the situation, so he had to wait until Chen Wen came back. Could it be that he just previewed in advance and united the civil servants so that he could put pressure on him when Chen Wen came back? This is very likely, but this team is of great importance, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that everyone was still thinking, Lu Wenlong, who had already served in the Governor's Office, spoke, "It's so good for the Fujun to know. This incident originated from the capture of the former Governor, and no one in the Five Divisions had enough qualifications to govern the matter. In addition, the establishment of Jinhua Town, military supplies, military weapons and other aspects, Lin Haibo built the shelves by seizing and donating them, which led to the situation today."

"I see."

Cao Conglong had already known these things, and just now he had just led the reason out. At this moment, Lu Wenlong had already set up the steps, so he continued to raise the topic.

"I was a new official and was not very familiar with government affairs. Now, unlike in the past, with my official and colleagues here, logistics and general affairs should be restored. Military generals intervened in government affairs, which is ultimately a controversial political situation. The national affairs are endless and must be corrected immediately."

As soon as this statement was made, many people who were still thinking were stunned on the spot. Taking advantage of Chen Wen's expedition, Cao Conglong's blatant seizure of power was too ugly. Moreover, when Chen Wen returned from Quzhou, he was afraid that this fait accompli may not be able to subdue the warrior who intended to kill and establish his authority. Unless the supply of military supplies was cut off, the previous efforts in the Battle of Quzhou would be wasted, and the Tatars would take advantage at that time...

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Most of the officials present immediately sat there, with questions after questions in their minds, and they didn't know what to say for a moment. At this time, under the expressions of another civil servant, Cao Conglong spoke again, immediately interrupting their thoughts.

"In addition, I have inspected the counties for more than a month and have a certain understanding of the people's conditions. Jinhua Mansion is currently in a raging public opinion, nothing more than two things: requisition of wasteland and establishment of garrisons and loans. The loan has already begun, and it is not possible to do it at all. However, it is ridiculous to use taxes as collateral. I think that since the loans are all used in the army, it is better to pay them back. As for the requisition of wasteland, it hurts the people's hearts too much, and it must not be done again. The garrisons must also be banned immediately!"

The first half of the sentence is that the loan is repaid by the army, which is in the minds of many civil officials. In this way, not only will the military generals intervene in less money and food, but they can also increase the pressure on Chen Wen's military supplies to have the opportunity to regain the situation of civil officials controlling military generals. It can be said that one kills two birds with one stone. But who knew that Cao Conglong's second half of the sentence was to deny Chen Wen's previous efforts in one breath, but also to use it to remove the foundation. This is probably not as simple as they imagined.

However, before Cao Conglong could continue talking, Sun Yu stood up all of a sudden, and the anger on Zhang Junxiu's face had begun to overflow. "Fu Jun. I'm afraid this is not the time to talk about it now. Let's wait for Lin Hai Bo to come back."

"Just that's right, please think twice."

"The Master of the Mansion is right. The army is fighting outside. Let's wait for Lin Hai Bo to come back."

"Pushing the army is of great importance. We will discuss it first, but military affairs also require soliciting opinions. After all, Lin Haibo is not an ordinary military general and is a famous title in the court, so you should not take it lightly."

“…”

As soon as Sun Yu's words came out, they immediately aroused the confrontation of many officials present. In contrast, after Lu Wenlong gave a wink, the civil officials who had already passed the angrily before also stood up one after another, using the ancestral system of civil warfare control in civil war and the four commanders of the six military battalions in Dalanshan when Wang Yi was alive, all of them obeyed the orders of civil officials in the military supervisor to refute. For a moment, those civil officials who wanted to delay time with Sun Yu's refutation could only repeatedly argue with the reason that the army was fighting outside, which became increasingly unreasonable.

If this continues, people's hearts will sooner or later turn to Cao Conglong. After all, he is also fighting for authority for civil servants, but his methods are too radical. But this is not what Cao Conglong wants. The effect he wants is a real finale. Only in this way can he achieve the effect he needs.

At this moment, Cao Conglong signaled everyone to rest assured. Then he said earnestly: "Using civil and military control is the ancestral system of the state dynasty, and there is no mistake at all. It is just that the army is fighting outside. This is indeed a bit too tempting for me to act like this. The prefect Sun and his colleagues can naturally understand what he said. However, the current situation can no longer allow us to wait..."

Next, Cao Conglong began to describe in detail the situation of Lu Jianguo wandering south after the Battle of Zhoushan, and even told him the excuse of Zheng Chenggong's exclusion that had just begun when he left. Later, he invited Yang Can, the commander of the Jinyiwei who came to urge Cao Conglong, and then cried in front of all the civil servants. He even predicted that Lu Jianguo was in a poor state to eat sweet potatoes.

"I came to Jinhua under the order of the king. In addition to being the court and the governor of Zhejiang, the more important thing was to instigate Linhaibo to send troops to attack Taizhou. However, Chen Wen, this man did not think about the court's grace for more than two hundred years of raising him, and did not care about his nobles' grace and honor for his humble merits and titles. He was full of how to be his local emperor in western Zhejiang. It was extremely hateful."

"The Dalanshan King's Army, built by the former King Jingluo in Jinhua Town, is an army of the imperial court, not owned by Chen Wen. At this moment, the army of Dingxi Marquis, Pingyi Marquis and Yingyi Bogexun Town are on the sea. I decided to lead the army to attack Taizhou. Under the attack on both sides, Taizhou will be restored to repay His Highness to the regent."

None of the people here have ever seen Lu Jianguo, but their thoughts of loyalty have long been integrated into their blood. The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord is humiliated to death. When they heard the current predicament of Lu Jianguo, they were all as different as Cao Conglong, with tears in their eyes and even burst into tears.

"I hope you can help me!"

After saying this, most of the civil servants present expressed their recognition of Cao Conglong's actions. Even those officials who had once argued with Cao Conglong had changed their minds. After all, no one wanted to be accused of being unfaithful. Among the people, only Sun Yu still had anger on his face.

"Cao Conglong, your doing so will only benefit the Tartars!"

Hearing this, Lu Wenlong, who had been staring at Sun Yu, immediately slapped the table and angrily shouted: "Sun Yu, you, a lackey of a warrior, killed Wang Jinglei and framed Governor Wang's accomplice, are not qualified to speak!"

Seeing that Lu Wenlong seemed to mention the speculation again, Cao Conglong called the guards and directly snatched Sun Yu. However, the words "If you put your name of loyalty and righteousness, you will be invincible to the fact that you fight for power and profit will definitely be tolerated by Emperor Gao." Sun Yu said deeply.

Loyalty, loyalty to the Lu Jianguo, and loyalty to the civil servant group are just the fundamental reasons why Cao Conglong is determined to give it a try. Loyalty is not guilty, so in his opinion, what is wrong is Chen Wen, the arbitrary martial artist and Sun Yu, the civil servant group. He is not wrong, Emperor Taizu Gao will definitely protect him!

After calming down again, Cao Conglong said: "Magistrate Sun worked hard and had outstanding achievements and outstanding abilities, but he just couldn't figure it out for a moment. I felt that he needed to rest for a while. When I was to take responsibility for the crime, I would not let the court lose this capable minister." Then, he appointed the former head of the Military Land Department, who was always popular among the officials from Dalanshan, and Han Qizheng, who is currently the co-magistrate of Jinhua Prefecture, temporarily took over the position of Jinhua Prefecture.

Unified the hearts of a civil servant from Dalanshan, Cao Conglong began to issue orders, purchase grain and grass, and train large troops. These were all things that needed to be done, but the first step was to completely change the Fubiao camp under his command.
Chapter completed!
