my wife is mulan

The tea leaves are crude tea, and the middle-aged man greeted warmly and said: "The people in the village don't have any good tea, so they can only use some crude tea to entertain all distinguished guests!"

In any era when the political and social conditions are stable, and the people's living standards are gradually improving, the people are very hospitable and polite.

However, if there are often turbulent situations, frequent outbreaks of Dongàn, wars, and extremely bad public security conditions, and the people live in poverty, and they are often extorted by the government and robbed by bandits, then people will be very hostile to foreigners. Vigilant, even hostile.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Brother is too polite. In the past years, I was often guarded and hostile by the locals along the way when I was waiting on the business road. Now I am walking along this road, and the people everywhere I pass are very enthusiastic, just like my brother. Good as well!"

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "In the past years, there were often wars, and the government often raised taxes, which exploited us very much, and there were frequent military disasters and bandit disasters. Naturally, our villagers are very wary of outsiders!"

"Yeah, it's all caused by dong àn!" Cui Hao couldn't help sighing, and changed the subject without a trace, "Brother, look at how you were feeding the animals just now, how skinny your animals are, it's hard to tell. Could it be that he refuses to feed the livestock more fodder?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "How can it be? After all, these animals are borrowed from the government. I hope to earn some money from them to improve my life! Losing fat, I don’t know what’s going on, I’m anxious!”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Brother, there is a way to feed the animals. If the feeding method is wrong, the animals will easily lose weight and get sick! Our family used to specialize in grazing and feeding animals. If you follow my method Do it, and make sure your animals will grow fat soon, hairy

The color is glossy and smooth! "

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, and respectfully asked Zhao Junsheng how to feed him.

Where did Zhao Junsheng know how to graze and feed livestock?He winked at Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan's family used to be a big rancher with a huge pasture and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. Naturally, they are very experienced in how to feed livestock.

Hua Mulan immediately taught the feeding experience to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man didn't dare to distract his attention. He concentrated on listening to Hua Mulan explain the method of feeding the animals step by step, and then wrote them down carefully.

The middle-aged man wrote it down carefully and bowed to Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and others, saying: "This is a unique skill to support the family and make a fortune, but the distinguished guest taught it to Yu without any secrets. The family is really ashamed of it! "

"No, no, I'm waiting for the warm hospitality from my elder brother, and some methods of feeding animals are not worth mentioning!" Hua Mulan waved her hand with a smile, and asked again: "Brother, how is the situation of raising animals borrowed from the government here? Is there anyone who can borrow animals from the government to feed them according to the regulations, but the government doesn't want to borrow them?"

The middle-aged man learned the method of raising livestock taught by Hua Mulan, so he was not wary of her, so he said: "Our county is not bad. As long as the conditions are met, we can probably borrow livestock from the government. I heard that Puyin A lot of people around here are obviously eligible, but the government doesn’t lend them animals, but those rich people who have a lot of money can receive animals at home, and they can borrow many heads at a time!”

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Cui Hao and others looked at each other after hearing this. If what the middle-aged man said was true, then there must be a big problem in Puyin's implementation of the horse policy. Pu Yin said that it was not far, and that it was not close. Zhao Junsheng and others could not believe the one-sided words of the middle-aged man. After all, they were hearsay and could not be accurate.

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Has there been any cases where animals died of illness while feeding animals here?"

"Yes, why not? There are three families in our village whose animals have died of illness. The old Xiong's family's animals died so badly that the old Xiong didn't know how to return the borrowed animals to the government after three years. This family People are dying in a hurry!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "What is the old Xiong going to do? The government's debt is not so much. It is only natural to pay the debt. The government should not forgive this debt, right?"

"How can it be? I haven't heard that it is possible to pay back the money owed to the government. What can Lao Xiong do? Can't he just look around for work? I hope that within three years, I can save enough money to compensate the animals. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to go to prison!"

Next, Zhao Junsheng and others passed several villages along the way, and each time they found excuses to stay in the passing villages for a period of time, looking for opportunities to inquire about Ma Zheng.

Some of these villages have never had livestock die of disease, some have happened once or twice, and some have happened several times, but on average, every village has had livestock die of disease, and these are mainly caused by improper feeding.

At the same time, the increase in livestock has also caused many disputes. For example, livestock often destroy crops and defecate indiscriminately, causing unsanitary conditions. Of course, these problems are not serious.

Two days later, Zhao Junsheng and his party came to Puyin. On the way to Puyin City, there was a single family on the side of the road. Zhao Junsheng and others stopped to rest at this family.

"Old man, didn't the imperial court promulgate the horse policy, the people can borrow animals from the government to feed them, and after three years they only need to return the same amount of animals, and during this period, the animals will give birth to the people? We have seen many places along the way. The common people have borrowed livestock from the government, why don’t your family have any? Didn’t you go to the government to borrow it?”

While weaving the baskets, the old man said, "Why not? The old man has been there three times, and he can't borrow it. The poor here can't borrow it, and my old man's family is not the only one!"

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Cui Hao looked at each other, and Hua Mulan asked, "Why can't they borrow it? Who did the government lend the animals to?"

"The officials in the government said that we mud-legged animals don't know how to serve animals. Even if they are lent to us, we can't feed them well, and they might die. If the animals die, we can't pay! As for the animals in the government,

They were all lent to wealthy households by those officials! "

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "Lent to rich households? Didn't the imperial court stipulate that farmers with livestock at home cannot borrow livestock from the government to feed them? Since those wealthy households feed livestock, it must not be a few, and the number of livestock must be large. The imperial court also stipulates that they must apply to the government for permission before they can be fed in large quantities, how did they pass the government's review?"

The old man chuckled: "There is no great benefit, those officials dare to ignore the imperial court's ban?"

Interests move people's hearts, as this old man said, without enough interests to drive, those officials dare to ignore the court's regulations, or even violate the regulations?There must be collusion between the officials and the gentry.

After continuing to set off, Li Bao seemed very angry: "My lord, these bastards are so hateful, they really deserve to be killed!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't make a sound, he was thinking about a question. When Qianguo was first established and his prestige as a great king was Zhenglong, these officials dared to violate the regulations of the government decree. Are they so courageous that they want money but not life, or do they have something to do? rely?However, he also understands that although the Qian Kingdom has just been established, the distribution of power in the DPRK and China has gradually taken shape.

For example, Pei Jin, Dongfang Chen, Cui Hao, Kou Qianzhi, Gao Yun, Cao Jiao, Gao Xu, etc. It turns out that they all recommended officials to him through recommendation, and promoted officials within their own scope of authority. These recommended and promoted officials naturally became members of their banners, and power factions were born.

Hua Mulan asked Cui Hao: "Cui Shang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "This matter still needs to be verified by multiple parties. If the situation is true, I think it should be dealt with severely. However, it is best for the king and princess not to come forward in person. After all, it is only a county, and there are prefects and governors. You only need to inform the governor's office of this matter, and the governor's office will order the prefect's office to send people to investigate, the king and the princess are busy every day, if you personally ask about the implementation of the horse policy in a county, I am afraid that the matter will never be finished!"

Remember Aishang in 1 second:

Chapter 657

That night, Lu Xuanbo, who had been accompanying him secretly, met Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan in a carriage shop in Puyin City.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have ordered people to investigate clearly what your Majesty told you. The implementation of Ma Zheng in Puyin County has indeed gone astray. Zhong Ming and a large number of local wealthy households and wealthy merchants colluded with each other, defied the relevant regulations of the imperial court and horse administration, and lent livestock to these wealthy households and wealthy merchants that were originally intended to be lent to ordinary farmers, and obtained a large amount of bribes from these wealthy households and wealthy merchants. There is also a secret agreement, after these rich households and wealthy merchants get a large number of livestock, they will share the profits with them every year, among the farmers, only a few wealthy people have received the livestock, and none of the other farmers have borrowed it!"

After Zhao Junsheng heard this, his face became livid, "These people are so courageous! What about the county magistrate? Didn't the county magistrate participate? The court's Ma Zheng went astray when he arrived here, and the benefits that were originally brought to ordinary farmers It was snatched away by the government in collusion with wealthy households and wealthy businessmen, did the county magistrate not stop it?"

Lu Xuanbo said: "The county magistrate is called Jiao Yan, who happened to be appointed by the imperial court to be the county magistrate when the Ma Zheng came into effect half a year ago. The collusion between the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the rich households and wealthy merchants violated the relevant regulations of the imperial court. Yan Zeng tried his best to oppose it, but this person was too weak to stop him. He also went to the prefect's mansion and wrote three impeachment letters in a row, but nothing came to light; It's hard to guarantee!"

"So, at this time, there are people from the prefect's mansion of Beiping County participating? Or is there someone in the prefect's mansion supporting Gui Danian, Wen Pan and others?"

"It should be. The one who ordered someone to investigate Jiao Yan was Guan Xin, the Prime Minister of the Prefect's Mansion. The Prefect Song Yu liked Huang Lao's way. He spent most of his time studying Taoism and alchemy techniques, and left most of the government affairs to Guan Xin, the Prefect of the Prefect! "

After hearing this, Hua Mulan was very angry: "These people are too courageous, and the eunuch Song Yu, who didn't care about the government affairs, left the government affairs to the county magistrate, and went to find the immortal to ask, he did this. What is the use of the prefect?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Why is it useless? Is it so easy to search for immortals? If you don't have enough money, how can you search for Guben Dao, and how can you buy a large number of medicine stones to refine pills? He sits in the prefect position and does nothing. , someone below will send him money for him to seek immortality and Taoism!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng asked Lu Xuanbo: "Does Song Yu know about Guan Xin? Or is it that Guan Xin did what he ordered?"

"So far, it has not been found that this matter was ordered by Song Yu, but I think that Song Yu, as the prefect of a county, even if he doesn't care about the matter, would he not know that the county magistrate is playing tricks under his hands? I will never believe it no matter what! The minister thinks that Song Yu is not ignorant, it is very likely that he is pretending to be ignorant. He only needs someone to confess to him. !"

Zhao Junsheng thinks that Song Yu's methods are not very clever. Once something happens, it will not be so easy for Song Yu to get rid of the responsibility. At least one charge of negligence and lax control of subordinate officials cannot be escaped. If the matter of confessing to him is revealed, he will be charged with bribery.

Zhao Junsheng asked Hua Mulan: "Now it seems that the entire prefect's mansion may be rotten. Mulan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Hua Mulan said, "Let's listen to Cui Hao's thoughts first!"

"Alright!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, and sent someone to call Cui Hao from the next room to tell him about the situation and ask him what he thinks.

Cui Hao thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think the best way is to find someone to file a complaint with the Governor's Mansion. First, we can test the Governor's Mansion's attitude, see if the Governor's Mansion is aware of this matter, and see what the Governor's Mansion is about. Response; secondly, doing so will not reveal the current position of the king, if the current position of the king is known by the local government, the king will not be able to see the real situation of Ma Zhengshi!"

After hearing this, Hua Mulan said, "Look for someone to sue the governor's office? Who do you want? If your own interests have not been greatly violated, who would dare to sue those corrupt officials at the risk of retaliation?"

Cui Hao smiled and said: "It's easy to do this. If the king and concubine allow it, I will handle it!"

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng thought about it and agreed.

Zhao Junsheng said to Cui Hao: "Mr. Cui, do you know what the purpose of this king's horse administration is?"

Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "From my point of view, the king has two intentions. The first is to distribute the burden of raising horses for the imperial court to the people, so that the common people bear part of the burden of feeding the army horses for the imperial court; The second is to allow the common people to benefit from the horse administration and increase their income!"
