Chapter 322 Little Pain(1/2)
Quan Er's eldest son and dozens of Poche troops rushed to Jingyang City and brought the prisoners back
The benefits of canal workers should be divided into several parts: one is from the court, the second is from the major households, and the third is from the common people and soldiers.
The court did not intend to buy official land, but was still a beneficiary group, but it became very invisible. One was food. No matter who was given to the plant, the court would get food. The second was tax. From this point of view, it was best to hand it over to the common people. They dare not hide the land, and they dare not evade taxes. The third was the income. If it was the income, it was best to hand it over to the sergeant. These fertile land was distributed to the sergeant. The court did not expect to collect taxes, but the original grain was exempted. This expense was not small, and one person had to have more than ten chunks of yuan a year. No matter how the tax was paid, it was impossible for ordinary people to pay more than ten chunks of yuan.
But what is the court?
In the eyes of some literati and officials, this court is the country, including the rich and poor, and even the foreign barbarians.
But in the eyes of some literati, this court is a powerful man. The rest of the people deserve to die, so there is a saying that peddlers and barons can't even wear silk.
Therefore, Wang Ju's approach may not be liked by all scholars and officials.
However, the sergeant will like it.
But this field has to be divided into three or six or nine levels.
Those who are close to water and those who are far away from water will not be able to do if they are high, but those who are low will cause waterlogging, and there are also differences in weight and fat.
But before the canal workers started, the powerful began to invade the whole circle, and the better the whole circle made the Poche sergeant think.
Therefore, Wang Ju's tough attitude received almost all the support of the soldiers.
These people pushed the criminals all the way.
Wang Ju interrogated in this simple cell, first brought the criminals with him and interrogated him overnight. First he asked: "What should you be punished when you attacked and slandered me, spread rumors and incited to destroy the canal workers?"
Dozens of servants from each family refused to admit it.
Quan Er's eldest son took out a booklet, and the people said those words that day and read them one by one.
They were instructed by the master's family, and of course they were nonsense. Many people were ignorant of the importance of saying this. According to these words, Wang Juding's charges of inciting and destroying canal workers can basically be established.
Still don't admit it.
"The evidence is conclusive. You dare to argue, and you will delay it and beat it up to 50."
After a fight, they had to admit it one by one and obediently confessed. Huang Liang took a few literate soldiers to write the confession on the side. After writing the confession, they asked them to press the handprints.
This is the evidence.
Wang Ju said again: "Damn the canal labourers, you know what crime is it, and you should be killed according to the law."
He may not be joking. He said that the crack is really a crack.
"I will give you another chance. Who taught you how to do this?"
Money is valuable. Trust is even more expensive. If you take care of life, both can be abandoned.
After all the attacks and scares, all the criminals confessed in 1157.
If they confessed, it would not be serious. Guan Jian Huang Liang took several soldiers to record the records with a selective record. After asking, these people said in their hearts, why does it seem different from what we confess? But it was indeed what they said, so they had to press the fingerprint again.
They were Xiao Xiami. Wang Ju did not make any embarrassment and took him to the cell behind. Wang Ju shouted again: "Quan Er's eldest son, Huang Instructor, you will take the first battalion of soldiers to arrest people."
Only nine people were arrested, but considering that these nine people were powerful, they were asked to take a whole battalion of troops to arrest people.
The next day, nine gentry were taken with him again, including Zeng Yuanwai and Lu Yuanwai from Lujiayuan.
Wang Ju asked Huang Liang to read the confessions of the servants they sent.
Several people's faces were black, and some people said, "Ming Gong, you can't wrongly accuse us."
Someone said, "You want to frame us."
"Fuck!"
Let’s talk about fifty beats first.
After the whipping, they took the servants aside to interrogate each other, and immediately slapped the mouths as soon as they were cunning. One of the powerful men named Peng shouted: "I am also a magistrate in my life."
"Your nephew is the magistrate. He was the leader of maintaining order in the village, but he knew that the law was broken. He took the lead in fanning the flames and destroying the canal workers, and then beat them fifty times."
The nine extras were not used to being pampered and had to press their handprints after all.
Enough.
Wang Ju said, "Second eldest son, go and call the county magistrate Hou."
After a long time, Hou Ke rode his old horse and hurried over. Wang Ju handed over the confession and said, "Miss Hou, these people are gentry in the village, but they are fanning the flames and bewitching everyone from destroying canal workers. What should we do?"
"Minister Hou, no."
"Aren't these evil servants slandered and defamed by you?"
"Yes, no." They were instructed, and the key question was that they just made these servants slander Wang Ju, not to destroy the canal workers. However, through Wang Ju's simple method, the whole confession changed its nature. How did they distinguish it?
"Minister Hou, let's do it. For the sake of their gentry, let's save their lives. How about I sentence them to a sect for Tanzhou?"
"Give me your life?" The nine people screamed in pain.
The word "Ship" is already hard, but when you go to Tanzhou, where is it? It's Jinghu South Road. Can these northerners survive?
"Zi'an, this sentence is a bit heavy. Why not do this? Let each of them pay some money and food and give them a chance to correct their mistakes."
"It's a little bad to avoid the law with money and food."
"I am in a hurry to follow the power, everyone, what do you think about it?"
"It's not appropriate, the second eldest son is ready to write a clever word."
"Here," Quan Er's eldest son brought a few soldiers and brought iron needles to the stove to burn red, using them as a sly character.
The nine squires watched the iron needles gradually burn red and sweat fell, and Mr. Peng said, "I am willing to give out a thousand stones of millet."
"One thousand stones of millet and one hundred sacrificial coins, my official begged, not only for this hundred sacrificial coins, but the second eldest son started to beg for it."
"Five thousand stones, ah, I can't be foolish. I still have three thousand stones of wheat in my family, so I will donate them together. Ah, I am willing to donate two thousand tannes of money. Ah, I will donate another three thousand pieces of silk."
"Zi'an. It's almost done."
"Come here. Pull Mr. Peng down and lock him up first. If you don't donate five thousand stones of millet, three thousand stones of wheat, two thousand stagnant of money and three thousand pieces of silk into the canal warehouse, you will immediately write a clever word and take him away immediately."
In this way, I have been cursed all over.
Wang Ju stared at Mr. Lu again.
Why don't you hesitate? Let's save yourself from hard work, Mr. Lu had to promise an approximate donation.
They came one by one, made promises one by one, and finally arrived at Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng knew something was wrong and said, "Mr. Ming, I am willing to donate five thousand stones of millet, five thousand stones of wheat, and another three thousand stalks of money and three thousand pieces of silk."
"Clean. By the way, Hou Magistrate. Which state in Guangnan has the most severe malaria."
"Many areas in Guangnan have severe malaria, such as Chunzhou, Duanzhou, and Fengzhou."
"Then let Duanzhou be demoted."
"Ming Gong, the young man is willing to add another five thousand stones of millet."
"Crying."
"A little one adds five thousand pieces of silk."
"Crying."
"The little one adds another 5,000 guan, so you can't add it anymore. The small one has limited property." Mr. Zeng cried with a nickname Tao. Wasn't it just my wife scolded you a few words? Isn't this price too big enough?
Sign and seal one by one.
Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Second eldest son, go and instruct the commander Kong, Xiao, Liu, Wang, Jiao instruct them to call them together, and instruct them to gather their officers and soldiers, immediately take these signs and recover the promised grain, money and silk together."
This time, more than 20,000 stagnant of money and more than 30,000 pieces of silk were squeezed out from the nine powerful men. The main thing was grain, and more than 80,000 stone of grain was squeezed out. If the court could buy some of the grain from the local area, there would be basically no major problem with the autumn food. Especially the Zeng family, Wang Ju almost broke the family by this forced him.
Hou Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zi'an, this is not the right way."
"If you use it correctly, you will be righteous. If you use it evil, you will be evil. What is the right way? What is the evil way? Look, as soon as the canal workers opened, the court could not buy food. Just forcing a few households to force out so much food. These people have bad intentions."
"As you said, people's hearts are incompetent, so there is no good or bad. I am worried that the canal workers have too little labor."
These families have a strong foundation. Except for the Zeng family who punished him poorly this time, the other families suffered losses, but it would not be too serious. I can only say that they almost forced out the food they had stored in their hands at once, but the losses caused by the property were not very big, and it was a little painful. The chickens selected after autumn were called great injuries and great pain!
Of course they wouldn't be willing to do so, but they don't dare to do it right now, and they might exert their strength after autumn.
When Wang Ju has a countermeasure, it depends on who has the best means at that time. However, things cannot be small. At that time, the court will inevitably startle. With the results in his hands, the court will turn a blind eye. If there is no results in his hands, the court will not spare lightly.
Therefore, labor is the key.
"Minister Hou, are there any refugees nearby?"
"Some mountainous areas do have refugees and some wandering bandits. However, these people are small and do not work. Even if they send people to persuade them, they are all rebellious people and are easily exploited. Zi'an, this method is inappropriate."
"Then this labor force can't solve it. Actually, I'm also thinking about a problem. After the tens of thousands of stones of grain have been obtained, the temporary food crisis will be resolved. After autumn, if Shaanxi has good weather this year, it can pay money and buy some food directly from the people, and they will get a lot of new arable land and buy cattle and farm tools. What they lack is not grain, but money."
"I have also thought that the food headache is this year, and it will not be difficult by next year. The division of Zi'an is mostly handed over to the hands of Poche soldiers and the people. They do not have the ability to hoard goods. The harvest of more than 10,000 hectares of arable land can satisfy the grain used by canal workers after a little harvest. The main thing is in the autumn."
In fact, Hou Ke also ignored the most important issue. Wang Ju vaguely knew it, but he didn't know how serious it would be.
…………
Why did Wang Ju have a stick for the first time, and a second time, a whipping. In fact, the crisis is even worse. It is not a big problem to beat the stick or capture it below. Even if it is a mismatch, it doesn’t matter, because no one has died.
But at that time, Wang Ju locked up the six clerks in order to shock him. This is a small one, but considering the actual situation of the canal workers, he can understand it even if he hits it.
But we have to look at what we can see. If we are in a different way, we can’t see the canal workers and only ask about six lives?
