Text 120 [Following the Thief]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The four townships occupied by Zhao Han were quickly abolished. Anyway, "township" is just a geographical concept.

    All sites were changed to eight towns.

    Each town has a central village and four natural villages. Zhao Han ruled a total of fifty villages.

    These villages have also been redefined and their areas have been enlarged.  A large surname is mixed with many small surnames to prevent a certain surname from gaining an absolute advantage in a certain village.

    Try to break the clan influence!

    Although the landlord was either killed or forced to separate.  However, the same surname dominates the village for a long time, and a new clan power will inevitably form over time. Zhao Han cannot avoid this kind of thing from happening, but he can try his best to delay its appearance!

    ?The number of grassroots officials is insufficient, and they have to be busy with clearing up the land and dividing the land, and also busy with administrative divisions, and the whole winter is chaotic.

    The Juren provided by Xiao was originally unwilling to be a thief, and suffered from high-intensity work, so he simply quit.  He felt that he was overqualified, that he had to deal with mud legs all day long, and even deal with women. This was an insult to him.

    Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng walked around the villages and towns every day, accompanied by a few soldiers.

    "Quickly stop, you have something to say!"

    Several missionaries ran quickly, passing Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng, because there was a fight in the field ahead.

    During the division of fields, there would be fights every now and then.

    Sometimes it is suspected that there is a problem with the division of land, and villagers beat public officials.

    Sometimes it is because of field boundary disputes that villagers fight each other.

    Ouyang Zheng gloated and said with a sneer: "Zhao thief is messing around. Many villages and towns have been messed up these days."

    Li Banghua has been just watching but not talking, and finally couldn't help it at this moment: "Xianwen, you are born as a child prodigy, do you really think that Bandit Zhao is carrying out disorderly government?"

    Ouyang Zheng was dejected, buried his head in silence for a long time, and sighed: "Oh, Wan Sheng can only think this way, should we still applaud?"

    The two continued to move forward and soon came to the troubled place.

    However, the villagers suspected that there was a problem with the division of the land. The missionaries took the villagers to re-hold the land, and it was found out that the staff of the Zhang field were messing around.

    Of the two people in charge of Zhangtian, one is from the Xiao family and the other is from the Liu family.  The two cheated together, giving more points to their respective tribes and less points to other villagers, bullying the villagers beyond counting.

    "take away!"

    The missionaries directly arrested the people and handed them over to criminal officials.

    "Good catch!"

    "Catch him back and chop off his head!"

    The villagers clapped their hands and cheered, and they stopped watching the division of the fields, and escorted them back to review.

    The missionaries couldn't stop them at all, and after only a few dozen steps, some villagers beat people up.  By the time they returned to the town office, the two cheaters had already been beaten black and blue.

    Tired from walking, Li Banghua sat cross-legged on the field ridge: "Xianwen, will you follow a thief?"

    "I would rather die than follow." Ouyang Zheng said.

    Li Banghua smiled wryly: "I have been watching politics for so many days, and I want to become a thief."

    Ouyang Zheng said in surprise: "Sir, you can't think like this, how can you help the evildoers?"

    Li Banghua looked at the boundless fields, and said with a bit of resentment in his tone: "The affairs here are impartial, impartial, and vigorous. You can't help but want to join them. If you have been an official in the court, if you have been hindered by politics, you know that this kind of feeling is not good.  How wonderful."

    Ouyang Zheng suddenly had tears in his eyes: "What's wrong with this Ming Dynasty, gentlemen, are you not even as good as a rebel?"

    "well!"

    Li Banghua sighed: "It's hard to get back, the building will collapse. The old house will collapse, and no one who lives in the house is innocent. Including me, the house has been demolished."

    "Mr. serves the country with integrity, and even dismissed him because of this, how can he be so self-pitying?" Ouyang Zheng was really afraid of Li Banghua's rebellion.

    Li Banghua pulled out a piece of dry grass from the ridge of the field, held it in his hand and played with it, saying: "Before I passed the Jinshi exam, my family sold the land year after year, and only six acres of land remained. My grandmother passed away, and there was no coffin, so she was wrapped in straw and buried secretly."  Now, my family has thousands of acres of fertile land, how did they get it? I resigned from office and returned to my hometown, and I took the initiative to hand in the land tax, and I was shocked to learn that the county personally sent the grain back to my home."

    Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but smile, and put away his smile again: "Even if Mr. dismissed from office, he is still a high-ranking official. How dare the county magistrate accept the food from Mr.'s family."

    "In the past few days, I have inquired about it," Li Banghua said, "The thief Zhao donated tens of thousands of acres of land to the Wuxing Town Hall, but left a hundred acres. Is he reluctant to part with the one hundred acres of land?  Also. He wants to reserve one hundred acres of land and pay the land tax to the town hall on time, so that other bandit officials will not dare to evade taxes.Scholars who couldn't even pass the entrance exams taught these people "Taixi arithmetic".  It is estimated that in a few months, these old-style schoolchildren will be able to master the four arithmetic operations proficiently, and they will be assigned to public schools in various towns as mathematics teachers.

    Back at the residence, it was already noon, and the soldiers brought food.

    Li Banghua can still accept that it's all rough food, after all, he couldn't even eat enough when he was young.

    Ouyang Zheng is tired of eating, he is a son of a rich family, he came from a young age, and he is sour these days and nights.

    Sometimes, Ouyang Zheng even thought that if Zhao thief treated him with more respect, he would probably be willing to vote for a thief.

    "Can't eat?" Li Banghua laughed.

    "I'm getting used to it soon." Ouyang Zheng could only say, and then he had to bite the bullet and eat.

    Li Banghua chewed the bran cakes of miscellaneous grains, swallowed the vegetable soup with difficulty, and said with emotion: "I heard people say that even Zhao Han himself eats this kind of thing every day. He doesn't even eat cakes in the morning, and only eats porridge.  Pickles. Now that money and food are in short supply, all officials have to tighten their belts until the summer harvest.¡±

    Ouyang Zheng smiled and said: "It's just a trick to trick the little people."

    "I do believe it," Li Banghua said, "this thief has great ambitions, and he is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment. There is only one servant girl in his house Well, he said it was a maid, and she was also a poor-looking maid. In addition,  There is a woman who washes and cooks rice. It¡¯s been almost a year since the rebellion, and she¡¯s still not close to a woman, so what¡¯s so special about having a simple meal every day?¡±

    Ouyang Zheng put away his smile, and took a hard bite of the bran cake: "This thief's ambition and strategy, if he can be an official in the court, he will be a minister of the country."

    Li Banghua shook his head and said: "Now that Wen Shoufu is also very clean and honest. He doesn't live in a mansion, doesn't love women, has few domestic slaves, and keeps his food and clothing simple. In terms of personal virtues, Wen Tiren can be called a great sage."

    "This is the blessing of the court." Ouyang Zheng said.

    Li Banghua said: "Wen Tiren not only has noble personal virtues, but also has a long-term memory. No matter how complicated the official duties are, he can handle them easily. He can remember the names and places of small officials who have only met once. In terms of personal morals, I am not as good as  Wen Tiren; in terms of ability, I am not as good as Wen Tiren. If Wen Tiren was born in the early years of the dynasty, he must be a generation of virtuous ministers! However, since the new king came to the throne, Wen Tiren has not done a single serious thing."

    Ouyang Zheng was dumbfounded and said in disbelief, "How could this be?"

    "If you do a good job, you will definitely make a mistake," Li Banghua said, "I was dismissed from office and returned to my hometown just because I did something."

    Ouyang Zheng used to look down on magistrates, but after hearing what Li Banghua said, he felt that Daming was hopeless.

    Conscientiously finished eating the pancakes, and went for a walk in the village in the afternoon, and Ouyang Zheng couldn't fall asleep at night.

    In the early morning of the next day, Ouyang Zheng ran to find Li Banghua: "Sir, I want to follow the thief."

    Li Banghua said: "It's up to you."

    Ouyang Zheng was afraid that Li Banghua would be angry, so he explained: "When a man is alive, he has to do something. Hearing what Mr. said about the court situation, Wan Sheng really has no future in sight. Even if Wan Sheng is named on the gold list, he is only making wood in the court. It is better to follow the Zhao Dynasty.  Thieves."

    "Go, go." Li Banghua didn't stop him.

    Ouyang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Sir, farewell!"

    All the rebels had to give themselves a false name, Zhao Han changed his name to Zhao Yan, and Ouyang Zheng changed his name directly to Ou Zhen.

    After being a thief, this product was not reused, but was thrown to Yongfu Town to help divide the land.

    Ouyang Zheng didn't feel disappointed, because he had observed politics for many days and knew that as long as he did a good job, he would definitely be promoted quickly.

    Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Li Banghua couldn't help it.

    He was really in a hurry, he couldn't find a good book to read here, and he had nothing to do all day long.  And the neighboring villages are in full swing, and Li Banghua really wants to join in.

    Because, Zhao Han is doing the business, which is the business that Li Banghua has always wanted to do, but it is impossible to do it.

    On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Banghua went to meet Zhao Han and wanted to have a heart-to-heart debate.  </div&gt
