Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

At this time, An Ning was very obedient, her eyes were shining and she nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, An Ning always listens to my aunt."

Sister Feng then sent someone to call all five children and reintroduced Anning: "This is your uncle's daughter, named Wang Wananning. Your uncle has gone to Sichuan to be an official. He feels sorry for your cousin, so let them Come with us, and you will live with us for a period of time in the future, come and meet your relatives now, An Ning is 11 years old, you can judge by yourself!"

Except for the astonishment of the five children, the other four were all elated. A new member came to the family and they had playmates.

Sister Qiao recognized An Ning, but liked her very much, saying that her cousin was still reluctant, and she didn't know how to become Wang's cousin.Since the mother said she was a cousin, then so be it.

Sister Qiao pulled Sister Qian to greet An Ning, but it was difficult to address her because Sister Qian was also 11 years old.

Hao Geer Jie Geer wanted to be a cousin, so he surrounded An Ning and asked, "How old are you?"

Generally, outsiders are not allowed to casually ask someone's daughter's birth date, unless it is about relatives.As a result, Brother Hao opened his mouth and asked, but it was too late for Sister Feng to stop her.An Ning didn't care, and said with a smile, "I'm a chicken, born in February."

Brother Hao and Brother Jie clapped their hands together: "Very good, we are the first month, you are young, come and see brother."

An Ning tilted her head: "Brother? Is there a gift? Otherwise, you are only a little older than me. Why should I present you?"

Brother Hao and Jie were dumbfounded when they heard this: "Oh, this little girl, how many people are crying and calling me brother, I don't agree. Hmph!"

Sister Qian didn't care who the older sister was, she went up to An Ning and said, "Are you afraid of sleeping alone? How about the two of us as companions, I'm afraid of the dark, so I can't turn off the lights at night."

An Ning was surrounded by maids in the palace, so she definitely didn't dare to sleep alone, so she hurriedly nodded her head in agreement: "Okay, I'm also afraid of the dark, and I have to light a lantern at night to dare to sleep."

Sister Qian clapped her hands and laughed: "Mom doesn't need to order to prepare the house anymore, just add a silk quilt for the bed. From now on, An Ning will share the house with me."

Sister Feng was so happy that they were intimate, she nodded in agreement.

Just like that, An Ning stayed in Jia's residence in Jinling.

From the next day, An Ning began to practice riding and archery kung fu with the three brothers and three brothers, and also practiced light kung fu with the three of them, but the secrets of Jia's house could not be passed on to the outside world, and An Ning followed blindly.

As long as Brother Hao and Jie don't want to be An Ning's elder brother, An Ning gets along well with them.

Driven by liveliness and tranquility, Qiao and Qian have already let go of their one-year experience in Haijiang.

As a result, it is common to see a group of six children racing horses in the outskirts of Jinling.

Their boys are handsome, their girls are handsome, and they are very good at horseback.

Turning around, he said that Jia Lian led the thirteen concubines back to Haijiang. Although the emperor asked Jia Lian to arrange some people, Jia Lian still asked for personal opinions. These people are really not ordinary people, and they must have been instructed. , They are all willing to go to the state and county to be the master book.

With a swipe of his pen, Jia Lian signed the thirteenth chapter of the appointment of the master book.

Today's Haijiang officialdom has heard a lot.

The magistrates of the eight prefectures resisted the tax, and the magistrates under him participated a lot.

When Jia Lian was in Haijiang, they were very submissive, and when Jia Lian walked ahead, they rebelled behind him. Fortunately, Jia Lian was not really in trouble, otherwise, they would really be tricked to death by them.

There are a total of 53 counties under the Eight Governments, and 36 people participated in the tax resistance. If these counties are really affected by disasters, Jia Lian will pay special attention to them.

It just so happened that not only were these counties not affected by the disaster, but they also had a bumper harvest in autumn.

To put it bluntly, they are greedy for money, and they want to partner with those gentry to deceive the court and harm the people.

For these people, Jia Lian ransacked their homes, and all officials who confiscated more than [-] silver were exiled for three thousand miles.

None of these officials is really clean. A county magistrate who has only been in office for three years and has not yet completed his term has [-] to [-] snowflakes in his family.

Jia Lian imprisoned them at the beginning, and was summoned to Beijing by Emperor Jiakang before the verdict was issued. Now that he came back, he just happened to take them under his knife, so as to make room for those who were really willing to do things.

Before Jia Lian's trial, 36 magistrates were brought to court together.

When these people came to the court at first glance, they immediately opened the pot.

"Your atonement, we didn't mean it. It's really a high-ranking official who crushed people to death, so we had to obey the magistrate."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I understand, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and everyone has to eat. I don't object to you making money, but people can't blacken their conscience for a little self-interest, let alone black conscience as a parent official, otherwise, the world will be ruined." It was darkened by you black-hearted people. Therefore, I cannot spare you."

These people immediately disregarded their image when they heard the words, and burst into tears: "My lord, the sage also said that we have made mistakes and corrected them. There is nothing good about it. Please hold your hand high and let us go. We will definitely correct our mistakes in the future."

"From now on, we must only follow the lead of the adults."

"We were wrong, there are a lot of adults, look at our colleagues, forgive us once."

……

These five people and six officials on weekdays are like rogues at this moment, disregarding their image, seeking excuses, and they can be regarded as stretching and bending.

Jia Lian will not keep tigers infested, and give these mad dogs a chance to fight back.

Jia Lian said: "I don't forgive you for two reasons. The first one is that you are ungrateful. You wait for the salary of the people, but you don't want to repay them, but drive them to death for your own benefit. Don't Saying that they are not dead yet, if I hadn't come to quell public grievances, and it would have been someone else who didn't understand the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang would have been killed or injured more or less."

"Secondly, I am unjust. I treat you well in Fujian and Zhejiang. In the annual performance appraisal, the governor never favors personal interests. He will not give someone the first class just because his family is powerful and powerful, and give someone the lowest class because of his poor background. .As a Shangguan, I think that a bowl of water is very flat. However, I have only been home for three months, and you are making trouble."

"It's also because I didn't fall into the well. If one day, I really fell into the well, wouldn't I die without a burial?" Decided to give you a chance. If you are guilty of a big crime or a small one, what the Governor said is not worth it, let the facts speak for you. If any of you are really clean and honest, and sincerely speak for the common people, even if you did something wrong, I will forgive you. But, you have to have Eligibility to be forgiven."

These people were overjoyed when they heard that they had the opportunity to be reinstated: "Thank you, sir."

Jia Lian sneered: "Your qualifications are in those ledgers. The governor promises you that as long as one of your families is really poor, or as long as your family's stolen money is less than ten thousand taels, the governor will forgive you!"

The 36 county magistrates were dumbfounded.

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Luo Jing, read the amount of property copied from these people's homes, and tell me how much money it is equivalent to."

Luo Shicheng began to read out the ink corruption figures of these officials.

The fact is very cruel, none of the 36 magistrates actually lived on their salary, even if they were less greedy!

After Jia Lian listened carefully to everyone's money, he said with a smile: "Three years cleared the prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes, you people are just county magistrates, ten times less than the prefect's territory, but now each of you has one hundred thousand snowflakes, How can this be forgiven? There is a strict order in this court that anyone who embezzles more than 30 taels will have his arms cut off, his head will be beheaded if he has more than a hundred taels, and the bark will be peeled if you have more than a thousand taels. Think about it for yourself, what kind of criminal law should you receive?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a wailing in the hall: "Your Excellency, atonement, we dare not do it again."

"I beg my lord to see you as a colleague and give me a good time."

Peeling the real grass is more painful than a thousand cuts, these people want to die at this moment.

Jia Lian changed the topic: "The current emperor is merciful and thinks that torture will harm the peace of heaven, so he decides to abolish torture. Therefore, this governor follows His Majesty's wishes and sentences you to be exiled to Mobei and never recruited. Do you accept it?"

The 36 people burst into tears as if they had been pardoned: "We obey, thank you for the supernatural life of your lord."

Jia Lian stood up and bowed to the north: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. There are some wise rulers in the Great Moon Dynasty, who will surely last forever!"

As expected of a scholar, flattering is also so polite.

This time, Jia Lian dispatched these 36 anti-tax county magistrates to northern Xinjiang to work as free labor for Wei Kun. At the same time, those local tyrants and evil gentry who had evaded taxes for more than 50 years were also dispatched to Mobei.

This time, Jia Lian took a ruthless hand and uprooted these fifty local tyrants and evil gentry who refused to pay taxes, and their children and grandchildren were thrown to Mobei for them.

Didn't they keep saying that the northern Xinjiang Tartars' harm to the people had nothing to do with them? Jia Lian decided to let them go to northern Xinjiang to experience it for themselves.

As for reducing the population, Jia Lian also has a solution. The Zhejiang Fujian Guards are having a headache because of the refusal of those retired soldiers to leave Fujian and Zhejiang.

Jia Lian decided to use these retired soldiers.

Jia Lian convened these soldiers who should be retired but were unwilling to give a lecture: "I understand that you don't want to leave this place where you have shed your blood, and I am willing to find a way for you to settle it, but you are no longer soldiers. Would you like to leave?" ?”

Most of these people come from poor places like Shanxi and Shaanxi.

"As long as we don't leave, we can do anything!"

Jia Lian distributed travel expenses to these people and told them to go home and marry their wives.

Jia Lian said: "The military pay you have accumulated over the years is enough for you to buy dozens of acres of land, right?"

Soldiers on the battlefield have been baptized by war, and they are paid some dead money, plus monthly military pay. After serving as soldiers for more than ten years, they have hundreds or even thousands of silver on them.

Get the approval of these soldiers.

Jia Lian said again: "Since you have been fighting in Haijiang for many years, and the number of people in Haijiang has been greatly reduced after the war, the governor decided to resettle you on the spot. As long as you buy land, I will settle you down."

When Jia Lian said this, there were thunderous cheers.

"The governor has decided that all the retired soldiers will allocate [-] acres of hillside land in the Yunwu Mountain. You will reclaim it yourself, and you will register and pay taxes after three years."

Those soldiers who were unwilling to retire were suddenly overjoyed: "Thank you, Governor, for your kindness. As long as the door is settled, we are willing to retire."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Don't worry, besides buying land, there is another condition for settlement. You go back to your hometown and marry the most beautiful and fertile girl in your village, and I will settle for you. From then on, you will give birth to your son." What do you do in this rich nest, do you want to do it?"

The ex-soldiers are crazy about it, they are fools if they don't do it!

"Do it! Do it! Do it!"
