I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing couldn't believe his eyes. He even thought that he was not familiar with the accounting method in Guangzhou, so he made a mistake.

He specially invited Guangzhou Sihu to inquire again and again. After confirming that it was really this amount, he didn't speak for a long time.

It is known that the tax revenue in Guangzhou is twice that of Jiaozhou, not only in Guangzhou, but the entire Lingnan tax revenue is basically two to three times that of Jiaozhou, because Jiaozhou pays less taxes, and it attracts many people to go there.

So here comes the question, since so many taxes have been collected, and the population is larger than that of Jiaozhou, what about the grain in the granary?

Sihu replied cautiously: "There are many people in Zhechong Mansion, and the Lingnan side is not peaceful. From time to time, it is necessary to send troops to counter rebellion or suppress bandits, and they all have to leave from the treasury."

Luo Shixing raised his eyebrows, and simply checked the Zhechong Mansion again, and by the way called the soldiers over and asked, "Guangzhou Zhechong Mansion now has [-] soldiers?"

Si Bing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with an apologetic smile, "Is there not enough manpower for the chief executive?"

Luo Shixing knew something was tricky when he saw his expression, but he didn't expose it, he just said: "Of course, the imperial court allowed me 1 soldiers, but the recruits can also be dispatched from various places to Zhechong Prefecture. There are many people, but there is still a long way to go, since there are 3 horses here in Guangzhou, let’s return them to Chief Cheng for dispatch.”

Si Bing thought about it in his mind, felt that there are so many people, and the battle situation is urgent now, they must not have the time to roll their names one by one, so he nodded happily and said: "Okay, I will send a letter to Captain Zhechong."

Of course Luo Shixing knew what he was thinking. These days, if you want to count the number of people, you need to be able to read and write. The real situation now is that even the middle-level officers may not be able to read. Going to count the number of people in person, he boldly asked Cheng Jingwei to send someone to take over the people in Zhechong Mansion.

However, those were just his thoughts. Why did Jiaozhou recruit so many soldiers and horses without messing up?It is because they regard the recruits as elites when training soldiers, and the training principles of orders and prohibitions and literacy are the most basic.

If you really want to count the number of people, why do you need to send senior officers there?Even Cheng Jingwei just gave a casual order and ignored it.

In the end, it was found that there were only 8000 soldiers in Zhechong Mansion.

Well, eight thousand, the record is thirty thousand.

Luo Shixing knew that the number of people in the general Zhechong mansion must be too high, and there are people from all dynasties and generations, but he didn't expect to be so exaggerated.

Holding the real roster, he looked at the account book provided by Sihu, looked at Jinglueshi and said with a smile: "You can really surprise me."

Although the envoy was a little restless, he still insisted and said: "This is Guangzhou's internal affairs."

What he meant was that although Luo Shixing was the general manager of the march, he could not intervene in the local internal affairs. His task was to dispatch troops and generals to counter the rebellion, and provide him with food and grass in the local area. How did the remaining food and grass come from? Is there any problem? , that's another matter.

Luo Shixing sneered: "Don't worry, I'm not in the mood or time to care about it, but I will report this matter to the court truthfully. Now...you not only have to worry about your son, but you can also worry about yourself."

Jinglue changed his expression: "Luo Shixing, you are ungrateful."

Luo Shixing stood up and said, "As long as you are worthy of the common people, you can scold me however you like!"

Of course he knew that the envoy was strictly regarded as his noble person, but because of this, he couldn't help cover up what the other party did, right?

If there were no mistakes in Guangzhou, he would of course turn a blind eye, but now not only Guangzhou, but the rest of the states can't even supply food and grass, and they are still suppressing the rebellion?How to suppress the rebellion?The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

The envoy Jing Lue also understood his temper, and his legs softened at the moment, knowing that he might really be in trouble, not only himself, but even their family might not be much better.

He changed his toughness just now, and began to cry about how difficult it was for himself with tears in his eyes.

However, what he was crying about him there, Luo Shixing dealt with his own affairs, treated his voice as the background sound, and had the right to listen to a play.

Jing Lue made one person cry for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The chief manager should know that rigidity is easy to break, you..."

Luo Shixing finished dealing with the route of grain transportation, threw the pen on the table and said with a sneer, "You can try to see if you can break me?"

What are you kidding?Cheng Jingwei specially kept someone to protect him, just worried that Luo Shixing would suffer if something happened.

At that time, Luo Shixing felt that he was too cautious, but now I have to say that Cheng Jingwei had the foresight, maybe he had already thought that there was too much filth in Guangzhou.

Seeing that Luo Shixing refused to accept his will, the envoy decided not to waste time on him, and turned around to find connections in Beijing.

Anyway, in the end, the Beijing Central Committee came out with the results, and what Luo Shixing could do was to report what happened here.

However, if you want to clear up the relationship, you must have rich and talented people. Of course, you must be rich, with high taxes, low book balance, and so much empty salary. into his pocket.

Luo Shixing was still the same, he directly stated the matter and then attached the data. It was all dry goods without any moisture. He even asked people to take care of the ledger so that they would not be burned.

For this reason, he directly sent people to send all the account books and the roster of Zhechong Mansion to Cheng Jingwei.

Originally, he really thought about destroying these things while Luo Shixing wasn't paying attention: ...

Is this child mature?How can this be expected?

However, Luo Shixing didn't travel in vain. Are there still few incidents of burning imperial envoys in history?For the sake of personal safety, he left the governor's mansion and lived directly in the barracks, and did not give Jing Lue any opportunity at all.

On the contrary, Cheng Jingwei could guess that he must be angry after getting the news, and quickly wrote to appease him, saying: "These people are enough, the other party is just a group of stragglers, you don't have to worry too much."

What Cheng Jingwei said was not to comfort Luo Shixing, but it was true... He had never beaten the Feng family so easily.

Of course, it may also be because he now has more soldiers, better equipment, and sufficient food and grass support, so after reaching the front line, he went down to five cities one after another, which was smoother than the rebels fought at the beginning, directly destroying the morale of the opposite side. Almost gone.

In fact, the opposite party underestimated the enemy. They had been guarding against the imperial court sending generals over. After hearing that they were the governor of Jiaozhou and the Sima of Jiaozhou, they were relieved a lot.

Although these two people are well-known in Lingnan, but after all, they are young and can't compare with those veterans in the court. They are really relieved.

But they probably didn't expect Cheng Jingwei to be wearing a relatively young shell. He was even more experienced than those veterans in the court. After all, he had really fought against the court and almost won.

He can think of everything that the other side can think of, and he can prevent problems that the other side can't think of.

Only when I went to Yongzhou City, I encountered a little difficulty - the governor of Yongzhou should be a very responsible person, he repaired the city wall very well, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Cheng Jingwei is also a little puzzled. Since the geographical location is so good and the city wall is so well repaired, how did it get knocked down?

Luo Shixing could answer his question: because there were not enough people sent there at that time.

The reinforcements sent by Zhechong Mansion in Guangzhou were apparently 5000 people, but in fact 800 people went there, and there were at least 6000 people on the opposite side. Even though those people were stragglers as Cheng Jingwei said, the problem is that the soldiers in Zhechong Mansion in Guangzhou were not doing well. Where are you going?

Yongzhou really thought that the reinforcements had arrived, and wanted to fight the opponent inside and out, but they didn't expect that the economic envoy would even lie to their own people, and there were not so many people at all.

The governor of Yongzhou made a mistake in his judgment, and he was not a good general himself. After hearing that the city gate was opened, he hanged himself in the governor's mansion.

Before he died, he wrote a letter in order to persuade the rebels not to harm the people.

However, these rebels have no humanity at all, how could they listen to him?So Yongzhou City was slaughtered.

Now that the city has been massacred, Cheng Jingwei no longer has any scruples. Before that, he had never dared to use gunpowder lightly. The damage range of that thing is too large, and if he is not careful, it may injure the people.

If it was in the last life, he naturally didn't care about these things, but now he may be influenced by Luo Shixing, and thinks that the little lynx is right, those people also have their own parents, children, relatives and friends, and death of one may be ruined a family.

So most of the city was really forcibly fought down before, but Yongzhou didn't care about it, and directly charged the gunpowder to kill the archers on the city wall.

However, he tried his best not to damage the city walls and gates. This time is different from the previous Mengshe Edict. That time, they will be destroyed. Anyway, they will leave if they succeed. Who cares whether the Mengshe Edict will lose the defense ability of the city wall? .

Now this is my own city, not only to be defeated but also to be defended.

It's just a little more time-consuming than bombing the city gate directly, but it's more stable.

After conquering Yongzhou, Cheng Jingwei stood at the gate of the city when he led his troops into the city for a moment and didn't really want to go in.

It was the first time he saw what ten houses and nine empties are. No, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yongzhou is now ten houses and ten empties. There are almost no other people in the city except the rebels. When he captured or killed all the rebels After death, the whole city becomes an empty city.

There are traces of fire everywhere, especially the places where the rich people live. There are not many things that can move Cheng Jingwei over the years.

But such a place like purgatory on earth still made him a little hard to accept.

No matter how much he hated Wu Zhao back then, he never let people slaughter the city. Are those clans who rebelled after being exiled really human?

Cheng Jingwei didn't tell Luo Shixing about the situation in Yongzhou, even he couldn't stand it, not to mention Luo Shixing, the little lynx would definitely feel uncomfortable if he knew about it.

He simply passed on a good news.

Luo Shixing sent his success report to the imperial court together with the memorabilia of the envoy.

At this time, the court was arguing about what kind of reward Xiao Shanshi should get.
