The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 149 Jinzhou City

The Jinling Palace, which was discussed by Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan, is now facing an extremely difficult situation.As Mrs. Wang said, there is a big bandit leader in Jinling Palace, and this big bandit leader is no ordinary bandit.The disaster in the south of the Yangtze River was severe, and many people could not survive. There were those like Mrs. Wang who brought the old and the young to seek support from relatives and friends, and those who left their hometowns and went to other places to beg for a living. Directly reversed.

The Cao Gang has a lot of people, so the leader will not starve to death, but most of the subordinates work hard for a living. The Cao Gang is famous for their loyalty, so they can't watch these brothers starve to death.

So, without doing anything, just reversed.

People who are very hungry can exchange their children for food, and there is no evil they can't do.If one person rebels, it will immediately be a spark that can start a prairie fire.To rob grain shops and rob big households, as long as they can be robbed, they will be robbed.

Fortunately, Jinling City is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. The King of Jinling has also been operating in Jinling City for many years, and he has a large army. The army began to attack the weakly fortified prefectures, counties and townships. At the beginning, they wanted to have a full meal.

The imperial court was shocked when they heard the Jiangnan rebellion, and immediately ordered the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to send troops to suppress it.This rebellion didn't last long, only three months before and after, but the turmoil in people's hearts began in the south of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, as Lin Jing expected, the south of the Yangtze River was affected by both catastrophe and rebellion, and the court was struggling with food and grass. Sure enough, even Hanzhou and Jinzhou, a prefecture outside the customs, distributed [-]% more taxes than in previous years.

Tu Xiaosan is in charge of the military training now, and Jinzhou Governor is aggrieved to discuss the taxation with Lin Jing, the third-rank Zhaowu General of Hanzhou.Even the governor of Jinzhou thought to himself that the world is really going to be chaotic, and Jinzhou's common affairs should be called Hanzhou's generals. I don't know which family's rules it is.

However, the governor of Jinzhou was so slanderous that he still had to ask Lin Jing for his opinion.

This military training is the business of the capital, but the taxation is the business of his governor.If the taxes and taxes are not in order, his rating this year may fall to the middle and lower levels.Lin Jing said, "If you want to add [-]%, how can you take it?"

Mr. Fu Yin said, "If the imperial court insists on this, the lower officials have nothing to do but obey orders."

Lin Jingdao, "It's fine to add [-]% to [-]%. Mr. Fu Yin still has two years in office. Think about it, this will add [-]%. What should I do? Is it possible that I really ignore the people of this prefecture?"

Fu Yin is also an old fritter, and said, "Then charge [-]% more, what does the general think?"

"Naturally, Lord Fu Yin is the one who decides." Lin Jing doesn't have the slightest affection for the imperial family, but at the same time, he is a soft-hearted person, and he has seen the victims of the disaster. When he thinks of the people affected by the disaster, Lin Jing will not care about it There are too many calculations.

It's just that even if it's [-]%, it's okay for the big family, but the life of the common people will be hard.

At the same time, Lin Jing promulgated a decree to open up wasteland for the people of Hanjin Ercheng, allowing the people to open up wasteland, and how much they open up is their own, and they will not pay taxes for three years.In addition, women are encouraged to bear children, and if they give birth to a child, the tax authorities will be reduced by [-]%.The third is to set the marriage age, especially for girls, if you don't find your husband's family at eighteen, the government will match you with a man.

All in all, it is eight words: encourage land reclamation and encourage birth.

In fact, even the governor of Jinzhou has to admit that Lin Jing is definitely more suitable for the position of governor than him.It's just that, has the imperial court allowed this land reclamation or something?

Lin Jing didn't care about this, let's do it first.

Right now, the imperial court is too busy with matters in the south of the Yangtze River, so it doesn't care about this little Hanjin Second City.

But Lin Jing didn't know that quite a few people cared about Jinzhou City.

Especially this year's catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River, the income of Xie Gong's mansion was directly cut in half and then cut in half. At this moment, Jinzhou City paid taxes in time. Pain.

This is often the case with many things, which seem complicated, but when you get to the bottom of it, you will find that, in fact, behind the complexity is nothing but a pure conflict of interests.

Like the governor of Jinzhou City, he was very wronged. The imperial court increased the tax by [-]%. Jinzhou City has always been a poor place, and it is rare to be able to levy [-]%.This is also a common principle in the officialdom. As a result, Mr. Fu Yin insisted on accusing the imperial censor of the dynasty of slacking off.Mr. Fu Yin had to write a letter to defend his innocence, but it is also true that he did not collect all taxes.

In the end, he was dismissed from his job and returned to his hometown.

Mr. Fu Yin was wronged, facing Lin Jing, tears flowed down his cheeks.Seeing that Lin Jingyu was born delicate and weak, it was the worst thing to see people shed tears. He said, "Why are you crying? You are not just a governor, but you deserve to cry like this. A man, your tears are really worthless."

The Lord Fu Yin wiped away his tears, and wept and talked with Lin Jing, "General, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry the hungry are. How do you know the hardships of our small family. I sold it for two yuan, and now I am dismissed from office and return to my hometown, how will the whole family live."

Just by listening to this talk, you will know what level of person you are.Lin Jing said, "Your dismissal is not due to failure to pay your taxes. Even if there is no such thing, you will find a reason to drag you down from the position of governor of Jinzhou."

The governor of Jinzhou was quite mellow. At this time, he looked at Lin Jing with tears in his eyes, looking forward to answering his doubts, "Why is this? I am in the imperial capital, and I don't even have the qualifications to curry favor with high-ranking officials, let alone talk to others. I have a grudge." No one in the emperor walks with a bowed face.

Lin Jing said, "You have also read the official documents of the imperial court. The new governor's surname is Kang. This Governor of Kang, as expected, should be a member of Xie's family in the imperial capital."

The governor of Jinzhou was taken aback for a moment, and stopped crying, "Could it be because of Xie Dujun's business?"

Lin Jing glanced at him, and Mr. Fu Yin shrank his neck, not daring to speak.After a while, he continued to cry, "Master General, tell me, what should I do next?"

Lin Jing said, "Okay, okay, although you still have more than half a year to get your share, I will give it to you now. It's not a big deal for you to be dismissed from office. It's been a long time, and the matter has faded away." , and then go to the official department to do some errands. If you have money, I'm afraid there will be no officials to do it!"

The governor of Jinzhou was overjoyed, but said, "I've made up my mind, I don't want money."

"Then what do you want?" He was crying so much, it looked like he was here to extort money.

The governor of Jinzhou straightened his chubby face, and said earnestly, "I heard from Wang Dujun that there were riots in Jinling City, and several governors died. Now, it's hard to say where is the world of peace. I came from a poor family, and other Not to mention, I still have some good eyesight. The two generals are both dragons and phoenixes. If it is because of the previous affairs of the Xie Du army, an official with no foundation like me, even if I go back to the imperial capital, I am afraid that I will not fall well. Can I win? There are two families in the capital of Ping'an, not to mention the official department to seek an official position."

Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, but he was a little impressed by the fat man's eyesight.

Jinzhou Governor Yin said, "I am willing to follow the two generals, even if I am a pawn, I am willing."

Lin Jing said, "It's just that there is no suitable official position right now? After all, you were the governor of a prefecture before. Wouldn't it be nice to go out?"

Jinzhou Prefecture Yin said, "As long as I can do things, I can help the general. I am not an official. If I have just been dismissed and I have an official position again, even the court will not allow it. General, don't worry. , I understand."

Lin Jing asked the governor of Jinzhou to stay, and after the chubby lord left, Xiao Niuzi said, "Such a person is full of oil and water, what's the use of keeping him?"

"You still don't understand?"

Xiao Niuzi thought for a while, "Even if he returns to the imperial capital, he will definitely be asked about Jinzhou City. But no matter how we hide Jinzhou's affairs, we can't hide them from the eyes of those who are interested."

Lin Jingdao, "That's the first thing, and the second is that this lord is not at ease. He feels that he knows too much, and he is afraid that we will silence him as soon as he leaves Jinzhou City. That's why he begged to stay in vain."

The little cow was dumbfounded, "This is too timid."

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Lin Jing said, "The chief supervisor of Longcheng Bing Workshop has returned to court after his term of office is over, you go and prepare a great gift."

The little cow agreed.

In this way, within half a month, the new Governor of Kang took office as Governor of Jinzhou.

In the imperial capital, Xie Guogong told his eldest grandson Xie Changyun, "You are working in the Ministry of Officials now. Once Yin Gaoming, the former governor of Jinzhou, resigns from his post, he will definitely come to the Ministry of Officials. If he comes to Jinzhou City, let me know."

Xie Changyun quickly agreed.
