Take the mall to Datang

What Yuan Shan lamented was that apart from wanting to exchange some political achievements and earn money, Tian Bowen really didn't have the heart to make an enemy of the Tang court. Otherwise, the thousand officers and soldiers in Fengzhou would have already started fighting. He also did not expect that the inspector censor, who had not been dispatched by the court for a long time, would suddenly appear.

This is a very simple case of favoritism, and Yuan Shan is also very grateful for such a simple crime. If it were replaced by later generations, there might be more stories hidden in it, and of course the danger would be even greater.

After the introduction of the case, Dai Zhou looked a little tired, and came to Yuan Shan's room to talk about things.

"Yuan Pushe, this is the testimony of Fengzhou officials. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in this small Fengzhou." Dai Zhou said.

Yuan Shan didn't say anything because corrupt officials can't be strangled, so what can he say about it.

"Although the case of Yuan Pushe has been closed, the matter is far more complicated than we guessed." Dai Zhou said suddenly.

"Tian Bowen confessed that the food for the first year of taxation was enough, but the matter was known to Liangzhou businessman Zhang Yong from the second day, so he threatened him to hand over some food every year, but Zhang Yong This person is very shrewd, every time he collects food, he is clear on the surface, but the price he buys is much lower than the market price." Dai Zhou said.

"No wonder Fengzhou is so poor and the food price is still high. It turns out that Zhang Yong is involved in this." Yuan Shan said.

Hearing what Yuan Shan said, Dai Zhou asked curiously: "Does Yuan Pushe know this person?"

"I met once when I was in Chang'an. At that time, I wanted to bribe the official with words." Yuan Shan said.

"This person is really daring." Dai Zhou said a little excitedly.

"It seems that Zhang Yong looks very rough but is actually very careful. This is not enough to constitute criminal evidence and it is useless to worry." Yuan Shan said.

"From the arrogance of this person, it seems that this person may have something to rely on, otherwise, how could a businessman be so unscrupulous, and as far as the matter of taking clear accounts in exchange for food, it can be seen that this person is either a thoughtful person, or It's just that there are experts behind the scenes to give advice." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuan Pushe's words are very reasonable. It seems that this person must be investigated carefully. It is said that this person is a merchant from Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is the fiefdom of the King of Han." Dai Zhou said.

"Dai Yushi wanted to say something." Yuan Shan said casually.

"Hey, it's nothing. The purpose of Yuan Pushe's trip is to investigate Liangzhou. He must meet Zhang Yong. It's better to be careful." Dai Zhou said.

"Old fox." Yuan Shanxin said, everyone in the officialdom is a fuel-efficient lamp. Basically, this person with a particularly upright personality knows very well that any matter involving the Li family will cause trouble. He doesn't know Li Yuanchang Is it Li Shimin's younger brother?

What can you do to a prince who is doing wrong in his own fief, even if it has nothing to do with Fengzhou's affairs, but Zhang Yong is a businessman from Liangzhou after all, so how could he not suspect Hanwang.

"Yuan servant shoots the governor of Fengzhou. The governor and other officials will escort him back to the capital immediately. I will stay in Fengzhou for the time being and wait for the officials transferred by the court before leaving. I am afraid that the trip to Liangzhou will be delayed. It is." Dai Zhou said.

"It doesn't matter, the people of Fengzhou are more important, and the wealthy businessmen involved in the case in Fengzhou must not be let go." Yuan Shan reminded.

"It's natural." Dai Zhou said.

After Du Qianyu returned to the inn, Yuan Shan saw that there were still some blood stains on her body, but Dai Zhou immediately ran over and asked, "Qianyu, what's wrong with you."

Du Qianyu was also very moved when she saw Yuan Shan caring so much about her. No one has feelings for her, so she immediately said: "I'm fine, it's just that when the soldiers were arresting those wealthy businessmen, there were some fights with their servants. It's all splashed."

"It's fine." Yuan Shan said.

The relationship with Du Qianyu is sincere, but he is not worried that something will happen to Du Qianyu. After all, she is protected by soldiers, and her martial arts is very strong. Generally, there is no problem in escaping.

"Those wealthy businessmen really have problems. They even have soldiers in their homes. It's a pity that they couldn't catch a living man in the end." Du Qianyu said.

"Huh?" Yuan Shan asked in surprise.

Dai Zhou also frowned, it's a big problem for rich merchants to have soldiers.

"No one survived, and the servants who fought with the soldiers all looked like trained fighters." Du Qianyu said.

Wei Dayou was guarding the officers and soldiers of Fengzhou, and a school lieutenant was in charge of holding the city gate, and the soldiers who arrested the rich merchants were led by Fan Fan. To live."

"Tell me what's going on." Yuan Shan said.

"Thirty rich merchants assembled 130 people to try to resist, but none of them survived. The leading rich merchants all committed suicide." Fan Fan said.

"It seems that Dai Yushi's matter is not simple. I should wait for the Fengzhou matter to be resolved before leaving for Liangzhou." Yuan Shan said suddenly.

Chapter 571 Arriving in Liangzhou

The matter in Fengzhou is very serious. Dai Zhou sent people back to Chang'an City, and received a reply from the court within a day and a night. Good to make simple arrangements, officials will be appointed later.

After receiving the news, Yuan Shan had no choice but to ask Liang Ming and Qin Yu from the Ministry of Economic Development to help check the accounts first, but Yuan Shan could only temporarily preside over the overall situation in Fengzhou with Dai Zhou, and all [-] former Fengzhou soldiers were dismissed. go home.

All the family properties of the [-] wealthy households were confiscated. These two days have been counting the financial situation of Fengzhou. At the same time, these announcements were posted outside the government office of the state government. Soon the taxation was restored. They don't have to worry about being charged [-]% more food.

Another problem is to re-count the number of people in Fengzhou. The household registration of foreign households will be re-counted.

Because it is very clear on the list that as long as the household registration is graded, they can be allocated corn seeds for planting, and the land issues involved will be graded according to the current situation, and other issues will not be pursued.

After such a list was posted, all those foreign households actively responded and took the initiative to register with the state government office.

"Dai Xunzhang, there are not enough manpower now, why not recruit some people in Fengzhou to help." Yuan Shan said.

"What Yuan Pushe said was that the next official will send someone to handle it immediately, but I don't know what the recruitment criteria are." Dai Zhou said.

"First, you must be able to read and write, second, you must be proficient in numerology, and third, you must not exceed 50 years old..." Yuan Shan said.

According to Yuan Shan's request, Dai Zhou immediately posted a notice in the Yamen Qian, stating that anyone who meets the requirements can apply for the job, and he will be paid [-] Wen per day during the working period.

This kind of work can be regarded as a high salary, so people came to apply for it soon. There are quite a few people who can read and write, and are proficient in numerology. Although Fengzhou is relatively poor, there is no shortage of talents and scholars .

Within two hours, more than 60 people came to apply for the job, and then all of them were hired and began to join the work of household registration statistics. Under the leadership of the staff of the Ministry of Economic Development, the household registration statistics have assigned people to various regions, and posted notices directly in the local area. The effect of population and household registration is very good. Yuanshan simply followed the community service model and directly divided each area of ​​Fengzhou into ten communities, and then assigned ten groups of people to each group to be responsible for one area.

First, a batch of statistics will be made, and then each household will be visited to understand the situation, so as to ensure that they will not be left behind.

Three days later, the situation in Fengzhou was initially stabilized, and more than a dozen major officials dispatched by the imperial court had all arrived from Chang'an, and other officials were also arriving from other orders.

After arriving in Fengzhou, Dai Zhou immediately handed over these people. The household registration statistics and registration ordered by Yuan Shan are also going on, and the wages of the hired personnel are all paid from Fengzhou.

The funding for this project is a one-time appropriation, and if you want to stop it, you have to wait until all the household registrations in Fengzhou are counted again before it can be terminated. In this work formulated by Yuanshan, a census must be conducted every three years, which has been listed Into the next thing Fengzhou governor will do.

Many things cannot be changed by Yuan Shan. For example, the [-] Fengzhou officers and soldiers that the governor of Fengzhou can call on. Return to the newly dispatched officer.

In this way, after being delayed for a week in Fengzhou, the convoy set off again and headed straight for Liangzhou. In the carriage, Yuanshan was compiling the amazing story of the Tang Dynasty version. In addition to Fengzhou, Yuanshan also borrowed Many compiled stories, in short, most of this book is basically made up stories, mainly because the subject matter of the case is more attractive.

Yuan Shan knew that his writing style was average, so he only wrote the story of Tang Dynasty, and planned to find some scholars with good writing skills to complete the story after returning to Chang'an.

It didn't take much time to get to Xingzhou. The time from Fengzhou to Xingzhou is much less than the time from Chang'an to Fengzhou. The situation in Xingzhou is relatively better. I just rested for one night in Xingzhou and checked. When I found something special, I set off and went straight to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou's territory is much richer than the previous state capitals. When the convoy entered the city, it was immediately greeted by the governor of Liangzhou.

The governor of Fengzhou and the officials and gentry of Liangzhou lined the road to welcome Yuan Shan and others directly from the city gate to the Yamen of Liangzhou's prefecture.

"Xiao Mingyuan, the governor of Fengzhou, visits Yuan Pushe and Dai Yushi." Xiao Mingyuan said very quietly.

"Inspector Xiao is being polite." Yuan Shan said.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Yuanchang, the governor of Liangzhou, Han Wang, soon walked in.

"Haha, I'm really sorry that the king came a little late, I hope I didn't neglect you." Hanwang Li Yuanchang said.
