The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 828

"Shandong Golden Phoenix, Yanggu Zhusanlang."

When Zhang Shuye heard the name from the office, Zhang Shuye dismissed it at first.

It's just a vulgar martial artist, tyrannical domineering, and harming the place.

But after hearing about Zhu Biao's actions of destroying Liangshan Po, traveling across the state and government to annihilate Zengtou City, and the grand celebrations in Tainan and Haibei during his wedding, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but feel shocked.

That's nothing more than Tianhu in Hedong and Wang Qing in Huaixi, they are just clowns with a slight reputation, but Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River is the leader of the Zoroastrianism, and there are many talents under his command, but there is Zhu Mian's violent expropriation, Hua Shigang is even worse in Xicheng, and the local riots If it breaks out at any time, Fang La will definitely do evil things at that time.

Even this Fang La came to celebrate Zhu Biao's wedding, which is enough to show that this person is a local super powerful!
After driving away the book office, Zhang Shuye's voice became severe: "If this kind of action is treasonous, it will be a great harm to the country. If I hadn't come here, such a shocking thing might never be known."

"It's not uncommon for local tyrants, who don't know the order of the court and the majesty of the heavenly family, to act arrogantly and act on their own."

The master answered from the side, but shook his head slightly when he spoke. My lord, his knowledge is considered to be high-level, otherwise he would not have won the title of Jinshi, but his talent for managing the world is considered top-notch. Such a person should have a future in the officialdom immeasurable.

Even if his advice harmed the emperor and offended Cai Jing and Li Bangyan, he had gained a reputation among the scholars and would never be able to return to the court and worship the prime minister in the future.

But although this master knows about the world, he can't get rid of his scholarly spirit, but this is not a big deal. The so-called economical people, who is not a person with full personality and perseverance?

The master casually flipped through two pages of the account book, and said indifferently: "The matter of blocking the tax has changed. Please make a decision on how to do it as soon as possible. The uncle and the capital have already said hello. If it is not possible , but also try other means."

Zhang Shuye sat there in silence for a while, then slowly said, "I have my own plans."

Although it is said that the imperial power does not come down to the county, the county magistrate orders not to leave the city gate, and the countryside outside the city is dominated by the gentry, but this is just a common saying. As a county magistrate, it is natural to go out of the city to inspect the people and supervise farming.

A few days later, news came out from Shouzhang County that the new county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, had gone for a private visit. As soon as the news came out, the officials and constables went to the gentry and local tyrants below, and they all cursed. , I have to learn those operas and do that kind of flashy business, causing trouble for everyone for no reason.

There is a lot of chaos inside and out, and some unscrupulous activities, such as practicing village bravery at home, setting up private salt warehouses, and setting up roadblocks to collect money, must be temporarily stopped to avoid being punished by the county. Seeing that Nawen wanted to change a poor scholar to this position, the people below didn't even bother to care. But this Master Zhang was different. He was a big shot who could compete with Cai Jing. He had more than a dozen servants on horseback and formed an army. I'm afraid that the whole county will not be able to stop it. It's true that I can't afford to offend officials in private!
Although several big families and relevant people in Shouzhang County were prepared, no one saw the county magistrate and his party appear, but no one made a sound. Everyone thought that the county magistrate had gone to the other side, or that he was still there. On the way, no one thought that Zhang Shuye and his party of eight rode horses and entered Yanggu County from the official road northwest of Shouzhang County.

Zhang Shuye is completely dressed as a rich man, or he is a rich man after taking off his official robes, the master pretends to be a steward, and the other six servants pretend to be guards.

The group did not stay in Shouzhang County, and the county seat is not far from Yanggu territory, so they set off early in the morning and entered Yanggu territory before it got dark.

After seeing the boundary marker, I know that I have entered Yanggu County. In fact, without this boundary marker, everyone can feel that it is no longer in Shouzhang County. The reason is very simple. The official road is more than twice as spacious as that in Shouzhang County. Even though the trees planted by the roadside are not tall, it can be seen that they have grown for about two years, and shallow ditches can be seen on both sides of the road, which are used for drainage. Also enough.

There is an inn about two miles away from the boundary marker. There are flags and streamers on a few thick bamboo poles tied together. There are four big characters on the flags. There were not many pedestrians. After all, it was not far from nightfall at this time, and there were no villages around this location. Those who knew the business would definitely find a place to stay and rest in advance.

"Master, there is something strange about the inn in front. It may not be clean. Shall we move forward?" the leader of the servant guards asked.

Zhang Shuye didn't answer this. He got off his horse and walked back and forth on the road. He looked at it carefully for a while, and then looked at the distance of the official road for a while. Everything he could see was like this. It is generally spacious and neat, with rows of small trees on the roadside and no cutoff ditches.

"Sir, I haven't seen much of this kind of regulation in the capital. There are some like this near the imperial palace, around the rich and noble gates, and near the government offices, and there are some that are not as good as this. Why is it in this remote place in Yanggu County? There is such a setting?" Zhang Shuye was full of doubts, he only cited the example of the capital city, don't even mention other places.

"Master, let's go first!" The master reminded me gently, but everyone could hear that the master was also very curious.

Zhang Shuye nodded, mounted his horse again, and took only two steps, the master said: "Actually, it's not difficult to do this, it's just a matter of urging the people from time to time."

"It's really not difficult, but now who would go to constantly supervise, but is very diligent when collecting taxes and urging corvees." Zhang Shuye said with a sneer, but the master didn't answer.

Zhang Shuye was a group of several people. They had rich experience in the martial arts. The servants were highly skilled in martial arts and were not afraid that it was really a black shop. After entering, they found that everything was clean and they could even feed the horses with food.

If this was a black shop, the store owner would definitely go bankrupt ten or eight times.

As a result, when asked, it was Yanggu Zhu Biaobiao's property.

"It's the first time for the guest officer to come to our Yanggu County, isn't it? When you see this road, let's talk about it. If the guest officer sees the county town to Dulonggang, and the Zhujiazhuang Pantuo Road Market, then it will be good. It is two times wider than this." The road surface is smooth, and of course the repairs every now and then are new. Why do they need to be repaired? For the convenience of the guests, for the convenience of carriages and horses. You have never been to the market in Zhujiazhuang, geez, tsk tsk, every day There are countless carts, oxen, horses, and camels coming in and out! There is no good road, it’s impossible.”

Everyone got up very early the next day and continued to move forward. They saw neat fields on both sides of the road and neat villages along the way, without so many rules.

And Zhang Shuye has been in the officialdom for a long time, he is very proficient in civil affairs, and his knowledge and experience are far higher than most people. He came down from the official road several times, went to observe the fields on both sides, and asked people in the village.

As a result, I listened to "Biao Ye" with my ears full.

"...This canal was first dug by Mr. Biao's Zhuangzi. If you want to use it everywhere, you can dig it yourself, but you must go according to Mr. Biao's regulations. If you need to pay food regularly, you have to send people over there regularly. Look, those who violate the rules will be punished, this is a good thing, everyone is willing to pay food, the crops will only grow well if they have water..."

"Master Biao has just turned [-], and the rules are very strict. There is a pond outside every village. You can't use it anywhere in the village. The huts of each family have to be cleaned up, and they are all sent to the pond for retting, and plant ash is added. When the time comes, the fields will be fertilized." Yes, trouble is trouble, but the fertility is not small, the crops are growing well, and the village is clean, after all, Mr. Biao came from a rich family, so he can't see dirt..."

"Master Biao is merciful, and exempted us from the rent and tax of the West City Office. I heard that once that thing is collected, we can't keep anything..."

As a result, Zhang Shuye's eyelids were twitching, and finally he didn't have the heart to ask. He chanted while riding on the horse: ""Farming, civil affairs, what does this have to do with you, Zhu Biao? Although the court and the government don't do it, you can do it with What to do? "
