The weather in May is sultry and unbearable. This is especially true for officials who are pampering. Therefore, ice prices in the capital have been rising repeatedly, and it is expected to hit new highs in recent years by June.

The Lin Qingran family no longer went to the back house of the government office, but chose to settle in the Lin house in Jintaifang, because the Lin family house has a pool and a water pavilion, so it is obviously much cooler to live.

Shuntian Prefecture, signed in the room.

Lin Weiran, wearing a sweaty look, sat at the table, with a stack of high official documents on the table. His handsome face looked quite majestic and he was dealing with official duties attentively.

Since he encouraged his fellow minister to impeach Gao Yao, he has focused on matters of the government office. How the investigation of the account books of the Ministry of Revenue will develop in the future is no longer something he can control, after all, he is only a third-rank official.

Shuntian Prefecture Order.

Although in the eyes of local officials, he, the prefect of Shuntian, was already a high-ranking figure. But he knew very well that he could not decide the policy and could not affect the decision of Emperor Jiajing.

Lin Qingran has temporarily abandoned the official struggles in the capital and devoted himself to official duties. Although he considers himself not a good person, he is still a very responsible man, and he is brave enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the Tianfu Office.

As the "political and harmonious people" pursued by local officials in this era, he pursued the "economic prosperity" of the local people, making the capital a paradise for scholars and officials, but also a paradise for ordinary people.

The same is true, he has already started how to "reduce burden" and "create income" for the people.

Lin Qingran checked the large number of people, land, money and grain archives of Shuntian Prefecture, and was currently browsing the labor service situation in Shuntian Prefecture. After seeing the specific situation, his brows frowned deeply, which can be described as shocking.

In many people's impression, the people in the capital are happy, but this is not the case. Although they are adjacent to the prosperity of the capital, their "released articles (extra sects)" are emerging one after another, which makes the people suddenly burden them.

Aggravated.

With data as evidence, the summer and autumn tax amount of Shuntian Prefecture is 100,090 taels, but the amount of the summer and autumn tax is as high as 112,600 taels, which is equivalent to levied the summer and autumn tax again from the people.

If it is a wealthy people, it is okay, but if it is a poor person, it will still have to bear such heavy burdens. I am afraid it will really be fleeing.

After seeing this data, Lin Xuran secretly took a breath of air. If this was not restricted and continued like this, the people of Shuntian Prefecture would probably join the vast number of people, let alone living a wealthy life.

Refugee Legion.

It was at this moment that a little old man hurried in from outside.

"Dongweng, there are 87 complaints here, and thirty of them are criminal cases. Two of them are probably dealt with as soon as possible!" Sun Jixiang walked in with a bunch of complaints in his arms and said in a hurry.

Today is the day of refusal, and Shuntian Prefecture Organ will accept lawsuits. Since Shuntian Prefecture Organ has the power to accept criminal cases across the country, many complainants from all over the country will flock to the capital and hand the complaints to Shuntian Prefecture Organ for complaints.

Lin Weiran is not a chief officer who needs to be involved in everything in detail, and has already made a clear division of labor.

He adjusted the enthusiasm of the criminal officers and other relevant personnel below, and let them conduct a preliminary trial of general civil or general criminal cases, and then he, the chief, made the decision.

Lin Qingran took the two important cases and opened the first lawsuit, but it did not seem so bloody. This was the butler of Prince Jing’s Mansion bitten by a vicious dog from a family, and sued him at Shuntian Mansion.

At present, there are no kings in the Ming Dynasty, only King Yu and King Jing. According to the rules of establishing a leader, King Yu naturally inherited the throne, but King Jing was even more loved by Jiajing. In addition, King Yu has no descendants now, Jing.

The king is even better at this point.

In this confusing battle for successors, King Jing undoubtedly has more advantages. Now the matter involves Prince Jing. Although it is just a small case of a housekeeper bitten by a vicious dog, Sun Jixiang still chooses to list it as "important"

the case”.

Lin Xuran had seen this lawsuit, but put it aside. No one knew better than him that the future successor of the Ming Dynasty was not King Jing, but King Yu who had always been cautious.

Sun Jixiang saw Lin Qiran's actions and reminded him seriously: "Dongweng, be prepared for any trouble!"

"The current emperor is in his prime and has obtained Taoist techniques. He will definitely live a long life than Master Yan. The only emperor in my heart!" Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, and he said half-true and half-falsely.

Sun Jixiang has been an aide for more than four years, but he knows that Lin Shiran’s words are not the truth. But he knows very well that although Lin Shiran is young, he has extraordinary wisdom.

It is indeed not a clever plan to bet early now. If you follow the Jing Palace too close or please the Jing Palace too much, you will definitely offend King Yu, and vice versa.

rebellion?

Lin Qingran opened another lawsuit, and when he saw this word, he was shocked. No matter what kind of case it was, it would be a major case if it involved this crime.

At this point, he almost looked at the content of the complaint word by word, but after reading the content of the complaint, he said in confusion: "Mr. Sun, isn't it just a group of villagers in Sunjiazhuang who robbed the food of Zhufu and set fire to the house of Zhufu.

, Why did these officials sue them for treason?"

Stealing people with food and burning people with houses is a robbery. Although this crime is not light, it cannot be compared with treason.

Although Sun Jixiang was just a clerk in the Hanlin Academy, his talent was very comparable to that of people, and he also had a very high talent for memory. He immediately responded with knowledge: "In the fourth year of Jingtai, a great famine occurred in the southeast. People in Susong were rich.

Households borrowed grain, but the rich households hoarded food and did not borrow it. This aroused public grievances, and then the people started to rob the grain of the rich households and burned the houses of the rich households. Emperor Daizong sent Taibao Wang Wen to investigate and punish them, and Wang Taibao investigated the civilians.

More than 500 households arrested more than 200 people, and all of them were removed from the capital for treason, and they were asked to be executed together. The officials complained to sue the villagers of Sunjiazhuang for rebellion, which is a basis for some reason."

"I am really upset to be the prefect of Shuntian!"

Lin Qingran pressed his temple with his middle and index fingers and rubbed it hard. He naturally sympathized with these ordinary villagers. If it were not for helplessness, who would have done such a robbery?

But this case has already had a precedent, and there are countless eyes in the capital officialdom to look for his flaws all the time. Once he dares to blatantly favor these villagers, he will inevitably be impeached by a group of people and then detained him.

He is a "young and useless" hat.
