Domineering Daming

Qin Liangyu looked at the secret letter, thought for a while, and got up to see Sun Chengzong.

Chapter 1438

Sun Chengzong was reviewing the military reform plan for this year, when he saw Qin Liangyu coming in, he put down his pen and said, "What happened?"

Obviously, Sun Chengzong had heard the movement outside before, Qin Liangyu didn't talk nonsense, handed over the secret letter, and said: "There is another disturbance in Shaanxi, it seems that it is not small."

Sun Chengzong took it over, looked at it, didn't care, paused for a while, and said: "A while ago, the Military Intelligence Office secretly reported that money and food from the south of the Yangtze River were converging to Shaanxi on a large scale. It seemed reasonable, but it was weird. The source has not yet been found.”

Qin Liangyu couldn't help being startled when he heard Sun Chengzong's words, and said, "What does the marshal mean?"

Sun Chengzong put down the secret letter and said: "This matter was caused by the cabinet's 'New Deal', and the police headquarters should be able to deal with it."

The predecessor of the garrison headquarters was the Governor's Mansion under the Ministry of War. Sun Chuanting restructured it and changed it into a garrison headquarters under the cabinet. It is divided into four levels, the headquarters and the local level.

Shaanxi is a special place. It is still a farm system, and the security is slightly different, but it is easy to deal with some bandits.

Qin Liangyu understood that Shaanxi immigrated the most, and now the remaining population may be less than 300 million. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and they have been concentrated. If there is any big trouble, there is no condition at all. , with the strength of the local police department, it can be suppressed easily.

Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to forward this letter to the cabinet?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Turn around and tell Xiong Tingbi to pay attention."

It has been more than a year since Xiong Tingbi succeeded Qin Liangyu as the governor of the Western Theater Command.

Qin Liangyu said: "Okay, I'll go see Shoufu."

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly, patted his shoulder tiredly, looked outside, shook his head, and continued to bow his head to review.

Qin Liangyu walked around the cabinet, Sun Chuanting looked at the secret letter Qin Liangyu handed over, his face sank like water, his eyes gleamed with anger.

After Qin Liangyu left, he called all the cabinet members over.

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Zhao Han, and Shen Xun were all there, and they all had the same ugly faces.

Zhou Yingqiu sneered and said, "Some people still don't give up. It seems that this exile is not enough!"

Shen Xun hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Jiangnan has already lost his vitality this time, if it continues, it will be detrimental to the country."

Jiangnan was cleaned in turn, especially this time, the large-scale exile was really hurtful.If it continues, it will affect the country.

Naturally, Sun Chuanting did not plan to wash Jiangnan in blood, the consequences would be too serious, so he turned his attention to Fu Changzong.

Fu Changzong looked stern, and said: "Since Mr. Sun Ge turned around, it means that the civil uprising has not yet reached the level that requires the army to suppress it. Order the Shaanxi Police Department to mobilize and wipe out the bandits."

Sun Chuanting also meant the same thing, nodded and said: "Just follow Fu Ge's wishes. By the way, regarding the farm system, when do you think it can end?"

The farm system was established by Li Banghua under the instruction of Zhu Xu. It was mainly to deal with disasters. The secret purpose was to prevent large-scale civil uprisings. Now that the population of Shaanxi is thin and the disaster situation is under control, it stands to reason that work such as land division can be carried out.

Zhou Yingqiu thought for a while, and said: "This matter was done by Li Banghua. After the crown prince canonization ceremony, Li Banghua will be transferred back to Beijing to serve as the servant of the household department. At that time, he will have to finish it."

Zhao Han paused and said, "Isn't it too early to let go now? The 'New Deal' has already led to civil uprisings today. If we relax, the chaos will be even worse."

Sun Chuanting was expressionless, and said for a moment: "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. I will talk to Li Banghua when he comes to Beijing."

Everyone had no objections, and the matter in Shaanxi was settled. Fu Changzong said: "The Royal Commercial Group has moved very quickly. It has bought more than 2000 million acres of land all over the country, and it has reported to the Ministry of Households for appropriation. They can no longer advance funds. .”

Sun Chuanting frowned when he heard the money, and the Ministry of Industry allocated nearly [-] million yuan in advance to continue the projects that the Ministry of Industry had stalled for several years, and also planned several large projects.

Others cost money like water, and the national treasury was dried up in the blink of an eye.

But the Royal Commercial Group’s advance was out of trust in the cabinet, and it was more for the sake of the Qianqing Palace. Not to mention whether the Royal Commercial Group really had no money, considering Zhu Xu behind it, Sun Chuanting could not continue to ask for an advance capital.

Sun Chuanting looked up at Fu Changzong and said, "How much money is there in the household department?"

Fu Changzong said: "The deficit is 800 million. This is still the result of cutting the budgets of various departments and localities. The salaries of officials in the second half of the year have not yet been settled."

Sun Chuanting remained expressionless, feeling a little impatient in his heart.

As a last resort, he didn't want to take money from the Royal Bank, because it was a "loan" with interest and had to be repaid.

For Sun Chuanting, who is eager to split a penny in half, the interest is a huge sum.

"I'll figure out a way to make the Royal Commercial Group not stop, make a plan, and the money will be in place soon." Sun Chuanting said.

Fu Changzong speculated that Sun Chuanting might want to borrow money from the Royal Bank, but he didn't say much.

Shen Xun said: "The "Outline of Jingzheng Reform", "Confucianism and Zhengshuo", "Jingzheng Reform 28 Notes" compiled by the Ministry of Rites have already been written, and I plan to publish them publicly after the crown prince canonization ceremony."

Sun Chuanting showed his face this time, and said: "Well, bring the herbs first, let's take a look first, and then discuss it with the council to make sure there are no mistakes."

"Okay." Shen Xun said.

Without waiting for them to say anything else, Sun Chuanting said decisively: "There is still time before the middle of the year, everyone find time, go to the place again, keep an eye on them, and urge the progress, the pressure cannot be all on the cabinet."

Everyone nodded one after another. This year, the cabinet has promoted the "New Deal" with unprecedented strength, and the local government has finally stopped being a coward. Naturally, the people are rebelling against Yingye, and almost all the people are against it. The pressure is not at 01:30.

But things in Shaanxi were far from as simple as they expected. Within two days, emergency pigeons from Shaanxi flew into the commander's mansion again.

Shocking Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu and others had to leave the Grand Marshal's Mansion and come to the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting stared at the secret report with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "That is to say, the Shaanxi Police Department dispatched 200 people, not only failed to wipe out the bandits, but also wiped out the entire army?"

Qin Liangyu looked solemn, and said: "From this letter, this group of bandits did not attack prefectures and counties as before, but moved around in remote villages, attacked farms, and then gathered more people. The police department is not familiar with the rural terrain, It is not surprising that the entire army was annihilated after being ambushed..."

Sun Chuanting looked at the letter, with the eight characters of the gangster's slogan "Redistribute the land, don't be an official slave", and looked indifferent.

These eight words are specifically aimed at farms. For these people who have lost their fields and rely on manors to survive, they are very tempting. Coupled with dissatisfaction with the distribution of real objects, clothes, etc., and restrictions on access, these people are likely to They will be mobilized without authorization and become disorderly people, which will become a spark in Shaanxi and start a prairie fire again.

Sun Chuanting stared for a while, then raised his head to look at Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu said: "Thousands of people have been coerced?"

Chapter 1439

Sun Chuanting's tone was somewhat hostile, Qin Liangyu nodded calmly, and said, "I'm afraid it may spread to Sichuan, Shanxi and other places."

If this mess spreads, the cabinet will be in serious trouble.

Sun Chuanting leaned on the chair, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "Don't move the commander's mansion, but the appearance of thousands of bandits is not a civil uprising, and there is no need to go to war. I will order the security department to coordinate and deal with it. "

Sun Chuanting's few words are to characterize this incident as "bandits and bandits causing chaos" rather than "civilian chaos". "Civil unrest" is the most serious incident of insurgency and requires the military to suppress it. "Bandit" is a "criminal crime", and its weight is suddenly low, as long as the cabinet takes action.

Qin Liangyu was worried that the situation would expand, so he turned to look at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong could understand the pressure Sun Chuanting was facing. If civil unrest broke out, the opposition from the government and the opposition would rise and fall again, adding resistance to the "New Deal".

"Alright." Sun Chengzong said after pondering for a moment.

Since Sun Chengzong said so, Qin Liangyu naturally had no objection.
