The team walked for five days and traveled nearly two hundred miles, and finally entered the territory of Shaoyang Mansion.
Wugang County is a subordinate county of Shaoyang Prefecture, and as a newly appointed county official, Sun Siwen naturally wants to go to Fucheng to visit the prefect first.
Shaoyang Prefect is called Liang Xiwen, a middle-aged man of about forty years old, with an elegant temperament, and looks like that kind of traditional Confucian.
And so it is, in fact.
This Liang Zhifu is good at learning, but not very good at governance. He has a great reputation in the literary circle, and is known as Shuoru. But the governance of the place was a bad mess, and even the subordinate county Wugang lost control.
In fact, not only Wugang County, but even the other nine counties under the rule of Shaoyang Prefecture have many places in chaos, faintly showing signs of loss of control.
In addition, from time to time, the Miao people in the mountains rushed out to make trouble, and when things made this Liang Zhifu, who liked to make a fuss, anxious, he wrote several poems in a row, angrily spraying those chaotic people who were immoral, shameless, and tyrannical to the people.
But the literati.
Except for spraying two sentences, there is nothing.
The place is still getting worse and worse, and the reprimands of the county government are increasing, and this great Confucian prefect is exhausted, and is preparing to ask for a transfer from above, wanting to return to the imperial court to be a leisure man.
I was also surprised to see Sun Siwen bring such a majestic guard to the post, and then there was a burst of surprise, taking Sun Siwen’s hand and saying: “In the past, I heard that a new Changning Academy was established in Changning County, Hengyang Prefecture, bringing together hundreds of students, making local culture and education new.
And the mountain elder in the courtyard, Sun Jiaozhi, is also a great talent who is a good teacher, and he has always wanted to see him.
Now when I see Sun Jun, I know that Jun is not only good at learning, but also good at managing the army.
Therefore, the majestic and mighty master, this time Ning Jing Wugang, will not be a problem. ”
Although he wanted to apply for a transfer, Liang Xiwen naturally hoped that his political achievements would not be so ugly before leaving.
If you can calm Wugang and then go, even if you are transferred back to the imperial court, you can have an explanation and find a better position.
So he is quite positive about it.
Sun Siwen was a little surprised when he heard that Liang Xiwen, the great Ru, actually knew his name. Later, when he heard the other party talk about his work, he immediately assured: “Lord Prefect, rest assured, with me this time, I will never let those thieves continue to cause trouble in the county.” ”
Liang Xiwen nodded repeatedly, and then took Sun Siwen’s hand and said hatefully: “Sun Jun is going, he must kill those thieves well.” The other generation is a lawless, greedy and murderous person, all of them are treacherous, and it is useless to keep them.
If you can, do your best to appease the place. ”
Lord Prefect opened his mouth full of murderous aura, which made Sun Siwen slightly shocked, and at the same time understood that the bandit plague in Shaoyang Mansion had reached such a serious level.
Unexpectedly, he forced a great Ru to ask himself to kill the thief fiercely.
Thinking of the plan to eliminate thieves set a few days ago, he immediately said solemnly: “Please rest assured, my lord, all thieves, the subordinate will not let go, and they will be clean.” ”
Liang Zhifu was very satisfied with the attitude of this new subordinate, a rare smile appeared on his face, let go of his hand, brushed his beard, and said: “If under this official, there are talents like Sun Jun, why is there such chaos in the palace?”
This is to go to the post, everything is in ruins, what does Sun Jun need help?
If so, you can say it, and my capital city can help some. ”
Seeing that the prefect was so easy to speak, Sun Siwen immediately said with joy: “There are indeed some who need the help of the prefect.” In order to take up his post this time, Xiaguan spent all the 3,000 taels of silver funded by the county government, and then mobilized the squires in Changning County to raise donations, which attracted 500 warriors.
But now that all this silver has been spent, the past month, the next month’s soldiers’ salaries and silver, will not be distributed.
The subordinate begged the adult to allocate some silver taels, only for two or three months.
After the Wugang was pacified, the local area was stabilized, and taxes were paid, the subordinate officials trusted the county’s finances and allocated military salaries. ”
Hearing that he asked for money, Liang Zhifu’s expression froze slightly. If Fucheng had money, he would have recruited soldiers and horses by himself to eliminate those bandits, and he would have waited for Sun Siwen to come.
But thinking that if he just released it, and the fact that this Sun Xiancheng in front of him really looked good, those thieves were indeed hateful, so he gritted his teeth and said: “The army is fighting, and it really can’t be without silver money.”
In this way, the capital city is not rich, and I will allocate you five thousand taels of military salary, and you will bring it to the post to reward the soldiers.
Remember, this time I will kill those thieves well. ”
The face in his heart, as well as the hatred for the thief, made this prefect take out half of the small amount of silver stored in the city.
As for whether this will cause any fiscal deficit?
The prefect who is already preparing to be transferred can no longer manage so much.
Just let your descendants have a headache.
Hearing that there was so much money, Sun Siwen was overjoyed in his heart, and his voice was a little louder: “Lord Xie Zhifu.” Rest assured, those thieves, the subordinate officials will not let go. ”
Liang Zhifu nodded, feeling that his money was worth it.
……
An hour later, the army left Fucheng and continued south, heading towards Wugang County.
On the carriage, Lu Yuan listened to Sun Siwen’s story, and after a large box of silver placed in the carriage, his face couldn’t help but smile: “So Brother Sun went and brought back five thousand taels of silver.” ”
Sun Siwen also smiled and nodded: “Yes, I didn’t expect Lord Prefect to be so happy.” In order to suppress the thieves, he actually provided two thousand taels of silver more than the county government. ”
Lu Yuan laughed: “It seems that this prefect is forced by those thieves, so he thought of spending money to solve things early.” Fortunately, with this military expenditure, in the next three months, the army’s salary and silver will fall. ”
According to the treatment of officers and soldiers in this life, the monthly salary of a soldier is five taels of silver. They recruited five hundred people this time, and ran away from the one hundred and fifty who did not have to pay salaries, and three hundred and fifty people who had to pay salaries.
For a month, it is 1,750 taels of silver.
Five thousand taels of silver can only last for three months.
Of course, those soldiers and horses in Lu Yuan’s camp are definitely not comparable to the soldiers.
But the problem is that their arrival this time is full of danger, and the risk of death and injury is extremely high. If you don’t open a high salary, who wants to follow you to nine deaths and work for you.
It’s no wonder that the Great Yue Imperial Court stipulated that a county could only raise a hundred soldiers, and originally thought that this person was a bit less.
But now it’s his turn to be in charge, and he knows how expensive it is to raise soldiers.
There are so many people that they really can’t afford it. ’
Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, and then made up his mind that after arriving in Wugang County, he must kill more people, copy more homes, and never stop if he does not fish for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
And those soldiers and horses, it’s also a little too much.
See if there is an opportunity, pull out to suppress the bandits, while training troops, but also consume a little more, save expenses.
He spends all his money, and he always has to spend some value.
