Jinhuafu is the earliest area where the Ming Dynasty military branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially those veterans settled their homes in Jinhua. For military merits in other areas, they either collect or sell them on behalf of others. Tianlai Novels | 2

But whether it is a collection or a sale, the person in charge will have the possibility of embezzlement. In contrast, there are very few military households who choose to collect, after all, they have to pay a handling fee; while the sales policy is that military households obtain fixed income per mu, while the government collects grain and mulberry silkworms at a fair price, and the surplus is the bonus for the tenants to work hard.

It is impossible to have 100% corruption in this process. The diversified supervision methods in later generations have curbed greed that is not enough to the hearts of the people. Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the skin and killed the grass, and killed the special killing. However, this corruption case that mainly embezzled tenant rents was completely avoided. Chen Wen realized almost the first moment he finished reading the expedited documents, and how to solve it to be considered as turning disadvantages into favorable things.

Because this method was too ordinary in later generations, and now the basic plan has already begun, it is now possible to expand it.

Jinhua Mansion is the core area of ​​interest in the military field system, which can be said to have a connection with one another. If this cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will inevitably affect Jiangxi's division of land and military farms, and even further affect the morale of the army. This is crucial, so Chen Wen had to return to Jinhua Mansion as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people.

The investigation in Zhejiang began as early as when a military household was in trouble at the Wanhu Office in Jinhua Prefecture. The investigation and detention were Chen Wen’s emergency order to go back. He first expressed a severe punishment attitude to relieve the sentiment of the military households. This was extremely necessary. As for the rest, we will talk about it when he returned to Jinhua.

Chen Wen set out soon, and before leaving, he made some arrangements for the work in Jiangxi. In terms of civil affairs, Wang Jiang's Jiangxi Governor's Office and the garrison office under the Jiangxi Governor's Office were relatively heavy. Fortunately, the system has been established and the general direction has been decided, and the rest is operation.

In terms of military affairs, Wu Dengke led the Yuzhang Division to defend western Ganxi, Zhang Zisheng led the Yushan Camp to assist in the defense of Jianchang and Shaowu prefectures, while Hou Guoyuan continued to be in charge of Nangan. Chen Wen had only one order to him, that is, whether he had the surname Shang or Shang, he dared to come to the territory of the Ming army and beat him hard. It was that simple. As for Lou Jiye, he led the Feixiong Camp in Nanchang, the Lishui Camp in Jiujiang and the Chun'an Camp in Raozhou, and the Poyang Lake Navy who was still in the process of being formed to support him.

In this way, the people's livelihood in Jiangxi will continue to ferment and the rule will be further deepened. As long as the Qing army is not in the West, there will be no major changes.

Departing from Nanchang, take a boat across Poyang Lake, enter Xinjiang, run to Changshan, follow Changshan River, and flow down the river Qujiang River, then flow down the river and then enter Dongyang River, and get off the boat directly at Wujiang Wharf and enter Jinhua Fucheng.

After nearly half a year of separation, Jinhua Fucheng seemed to have completely recovered from the destruction of the Qing army since its arrival in the south. There were a lot of ships on the docks, transporting foreign goods and raw materials in large quantities. At the same time, the goods produced in workshops inside and outside the city were also transported from these docks to other areas.

After entering the city, although the road from the wharf to the royal palace has been cleared, the last piece of ruins was already covered with merchants and residents. Many houses in the city have even been renovated into two or three-story buildings, obviously in order to make greater use of the increasingly expensive land in the city.

There was no time to wander around the city, so Chen Wen got off the boat and headed straight to the royal palace, and he didn't even go back to the inner house. He just asked his personal soldiers to inform him and held a meeting.

"What is the result of the investigation? I don't want to hear those who report good news but not bad news. I can say anything?"

Since the last time these officials met Chen Wen, perhaps they were granted the title of Prince, or perhaps with the changes in the current situation and their own strength, Chen Wen's momentum has become more and more amazing. In this regard, their understanding of class differences and their observation of Shangguan made them even more like walking on thin ice.

"Report to the king, this investigation involves all three thousand houses and fifteen hundred houses of the garrison that have been misappropriated by tenant rent, all of which are under the Jinhua Ten Thousand Households."

The brand that Jinhua Wanhu Office just changed includes eight thousand households and several hundred households under its jurisdiction. After investigation, it was confirmed that nearly half of the thousand households that misappropriated tenant rent accounted for, which was very amazing. Moreover, this was just the day when the tenant rent was released, and the time difference was only a small amount and then stopped.

"The most serious case among the garrisons involved in the case was the Hundred Houses in Xiaoshun Town, a subsidiary of Jinhua Qianhu Station. Zou Wanquan, a hundred households, used the tenant rent to put the tenant rent at the Hundred Houses half a month in advance, so that the time difference that the normal release was made on the first day of October, handing over the tenant rent to a Hangzhou merchant he knew in a casino, and jointly brought in a batch of Hangzhou embroidery to sell it."

"The Hangzhou merchant claimed to have a relationship with the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau of the Tartars. As long as you bring the silver, you can send the Hangzhou embroidery, and the profit will be 21 or 5. As a result, the merchants will never return. When the 100 households could not get the silver, they soon revealed from the town's households that the Hangzhou merchant came to Jinhua to purchase goods. He had no money for the goods in the city, so he pointed to the fraudulent money and returned home."

The two places are far apart and belong to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is difficult to explain whether they have been postponed or have been sincerely defrauded. However, this is not important. The key lies in embezzlement of public funds, which is the core of the investigation.

"In addition, some people use these tenant rents to make money, some use them to gamble in casinos, and some spend tenant rents in kilns. The longest of them has been delayed since the autumn harvest of tenant rents last year. The method is also very simple, saying that they have no change and swallow up one or five taels of silver. There has never been a similar incident in the new garrison station of the King of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Division, so the military households didn't care. This year, they made a fuss."

"The person involved has been controlled?"

"Most of them have been imprisoned in the military and legal yamen, and a few of them are still on the road."

"very good."

He nodded, Chen Wen was still very satisfied with this efficiency. After all, it was only mid-October. It took time from the case to the report of the military households and then to the return of Wen Nanchang. It was so quick that the military court's actions were already very fast.

"What is the disposal opinion of the Military and Justice Department?"

Just now, Gu Shouli, the current director of the Military Law Department, quickly replied: "King, the military law does not have corresponding clauses for military officers in the garrison. After the officials and officials discussed, they believed that they were administrative officials and should be divided into different levels according to regular rules and punished..."

"Regardingly, are you talking about the old rules you use for civil servants?"

“That’s right.”

In ancient times, the officials responsible for the trial had great autonomy, and the same crimes were often very different when they ended up in punishment. The Military and Justice Department did not think that these criminals should be assigned to administrative officials, but rather that they planned to deal with these robberies with slight punishment, dismissal, or beaten boards, and at most one was taken out to show the public to calm the hearts of the people. For example, the hundred households in Xiaoshu Town were just right candidates.

The military and judicial departments are all from the military. Even scholars like Gu Shouli have been working in the military since Nantangying was on Dalan Mountain. They are not so much civil servants, but civil generals. Even if he is still powerless to tie a chicken, he can still be so identifiable.

It is normal for tulus to take care of each other. The military also emphasizes the friendship between tulus, but the wrong place of friendship is the opposite of what he wants. In the end, it will bring the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army group back to the original form of feudalism, and the achievements of modernization in these years will be wasted.

Because of this, Chen Wen is not satisfied with this punishment principle, not to mention that what is involved in it is not as simple as a corruption case!

"The officers of the garrison are administrative officials, but civil servants. They are targeted at military households, and there are disabled retired soldiers, military families, military martyrs, local reserves, and active combat soldiers and garrisons."

"This matter seems to have only misappropriated the tenant rent, but it has destroyed the mutual trust between the military households and the new garrison station and hit the prestige that our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division has been able to establish over the years. In the long run, the local land and soil are divided, and the military households are full of doubts and distrust of the land in other places. The military merit system pursued by our army will soon be unsustainable, and it will become that each region can only recruit local soldiers. The regionalization of the army will soon explode more contradictions and problems, and eventually become divided."

A unit is composed of soldiers in a single region. Regionalization will lead to distrust between soldiers and officers from other places and reduce combat effectiveness. But if even officers are from the same region, then the regionalized group of generals will soon be formed under the methods of getting married, marrying, and worshiping sons. The vassalization will begin to gradually form, just like the formation of generals in the Ming Dynasty.

The army composed of soldiers in a single region has strong combat effectiveness in defending the countryside locally and can maintain military discipline, but once they arrive in a foreign land, plunder will inevitably be a big deal, or even a massacre of the city. There are many similar examples in history, such as the Hunan Army and the Huai Army in later generations, which have such characteristics.

After saying this, Chen Wen paused for a moment and soon announced the resolution: "The military officers of the garrison are military officers, and it is extremely inappropriate to implement them according to the common rules of civil servants. Since the tenant rent is the position of military officers, then the regulations of military officers should be implemented according to the regulations of military officers."

Hearing this, all the officials present had small sweat on their heads, especially Gu Shouli. He had been a military officer and knew very well how severe the punishment for military officers was to be corrupt. In fact, he said that it was implemented according to the usual rules. In fact, the detailed rules handed over to Chen Wen before the meeting were already severely dealt with, leaving room for the general reason to reduce the punishment intensity to win over the hearts of the people. However, Chen Wen was extremely dissatisfied with this, which was beyond his expectations.

However, Chen Wen had already set the tone openly at the meeting. He was not the kind of person who dared to argue in person. He had to respond to Chen Wen's order and prepare to go back to discuss with the officials of our department, and complete the different disposal of each criminal under this tone.

Gu Shouli was about to sit down, but Chen Wen mentioned another thing, which was related to the Military and Justice Department.

"Master Gu, I remember that the case file mentioned that a corruption case in the Hundred Houses of Tangya Town, an officer who returned to his hometown to recuperate was exposed. Is this a matter?"

"That's exactly what the king said."

"I remember that the officer mentioned that his wife stole a man outside, so he learned this inside story?"

Originally, Gu Shouli thought it was as simple as asking him if there was any information about the officer's revelation. Hearing this, he immediately understood what Chen Wen was referring to.

"That's true, the lower officials have sent someone to put the dog and woman in prison and wait for the disposal."

"It's great that Master Gu can think of this." After praising Gu Shouli, Chen Wen immediately said to the officials attending the meeting: "In recent years, the soldiers have been drinking and snowing outside, and have been fighting with the Tartars all the time. It is the contribution of the soldiers to almost recover half of the south of the Yangtze River today. However, there are always some unlucky people who use the opportunity of the soldiers fighting outside to deceive the military families who are not vigilant in their lords to achieve the goal of cheating money and sex."

"I, Chen Wen, have always believed that efforts and gain should be proportional to gain. The soldiers fought outside, and the country was restored and lost territory for the country, and the family was won, and they paid a lot. Women should obey their own ways and keep their duties at peace. Foreigners should stay away from them in public and private affairs. Taking the opportunity to do this, it is tolerant. Who should not be tolerated? They must use the most severe punishment to satisfy the hearts of soldiers on the front line."

All the officials of the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion were under the jurisdiction of the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion, and most of them were military personnel. Chen Wen's declaration was naturally agreed with. Even if it had nothing to do with him, he would have to support those who went out to fight.

Seeing that Chen Wen turned his eyes back, Gu Shouli, a veteran military official who had just been rejected for a disposal, quickly responded: "The official has investigated and that ** has been retired. If not, he should ask whether the victim has forgiven him. Since this is the case, the official thinks that this pair of adulterers should be executed in public after being severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

The unruly people are a word that Chen Wen has never had before. Since it was used here, it is clearly necessary to punish severely. Gu Shouli has been with Chen Wen for many years, so how could he not understand his meaning? Moreover, in this era, women's way of adhering to the morale of their wives was the mainstream, and those who do not obey the way of women were despised by ethics and the secular world. And Chen Wen has risen to the level of morality of the army, so there is nothing to say.

The fire at the city gate affected the fish. It was originally just a trivial matter among the people, but it fell into Chen Wen's eyes because of a corruption case, which led to a different ending from the previous one.

The meeting was over and it was almost time to get the time to go, and the relevant officials had to handle the relevant official duties according to the spirit of the meeting. Chen Wenze returned to his inner house to wash away the fatigue of the boats and trains these days.

In the courtyard of the inner house, Zhou Yueying, her mother and the servants of the inner house, and the maids were ready to welcome him. When they saw Chen Wen enter the courtyard, they hurriedly saluted.

"Welcome the king back to his house."

From the Duke of the State to the Prince, it was already a leap in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Wen hurried forward, first saluting his mother-in-law, and then helped Zhou Yueying up, which exempted the etiquette of others.

After not seeing each other for several months, Zhou Yueying became much more round, her belly was already showing signs of pregnancy, and she stood here with a big belly, and Chen Wen's eyes were full of pity.

As usual, Chen Wen held the tender thighs in his hand, feeling guilty but couldn't say it. But in a blink of an eye, Zhou Yueying's joy of reunion, a sense of worry between her eyebrows flashed and Chen Wen immediately burst into laughter.

"Madam, why, are you still afraid that your husband will bring you a sister from Nanchang?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhou Yueying's already flashed worries appeared again, and then he heard the sound of a yellow oriole behind her, but the sound of a roaring sound of the green crow was clearly heard.
