First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70: Good official

   Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng have joined forces. This is not the cooperation of two ordinary people, but the collusion of two foxes.

   is as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't see the real key point of this taxation method. He only said that you should not be mean to the petty people. It is only stipulated that to enter the designated market for transactions, one needs to pay a penny of venue money for cleaning.

  Old Zhu thought about it and agreed.

   After coming out of Shuai's account, the two looked at each other as if they were heart-warming. From Li Shanchang's eyes, they could even see the heat.

  It seems to be saying that as long as we work together, there will be no disadvantages, and nothing will be difficult for us.

   Zhang Ximeng just smiled indifferently and politely.

   "Mr. Li, you can find the tax collector, but I need to have a file here for future supervision and evaluation."

   Zhang Ximeng just said this, he turned his head and dragged his injured leg, slowly but firmly.

   Li Shanchang was immediately stunned.

   Old Zhu's negligence does not mean that Zhang Ximeng is also confused.

   Regardless of how well the tax collection method is done, people still need to implement it in the end...Who knows better than Li Shanchang in Chuzhou City?

  The ghost knows how many people he will make.

   Even if he is not his confidant, after his promotion, he will become Li Shanchang's confidant.

   After a few years, these people are all over the court, how can Zhang Ximeng deal with Li Shanchang?

   So if you are in charge of taxation, the personnel power must be in my hands.

   This is equivalent to the fact that the first assistant and the official secretary cannot be held by one person. It is an unshakable iron law!

   Li Shanchang could only smile and shook his head. He really didn't know where Zhu Yuanzhang found such a bastard?

  In terms of age, he was only in his early thirteen years old, and he was not as old as his son... He was treacherous and cunning, and didn't suffer at all. Perhaps this is the origin of family learning!

   By the way, there is also the old man Jia Lu. He stood on Zhang Ximeng's side, making suggestions and making himself alone... When he entered Chuzhou, he must find a few more talents to enrich the upper-level hegemony.

The so-called overlord is the team of princes who eventually achieved great cause. The most typical Zhao Kuangyin was named Song because he recruited a group of literati during his tenure as an envoy to the German army in Songzhou, and gave him advice and composition. Overlord, seize the country, Zhao Pu is one of the best.

   Li Shanchang also gradually realized that although Zhu Yuanzhang is still very weak, but the vitality displayed is not comparable to any force.

   I can only throw away his arms and charge for Zhu Yuanzhang.

The literati can't handle a sword, only a brush, but sometimes, this pen is better than a thousand horses... Li Shan kept writing letters to his former colleagues and friends, and sent them to the city to show them. Clean the situation and don't seek a dead end.

   Then he called the businessmen out again.

"We are all friends. Let me advise you. General Zhu holds tens of thousands of soldiers. Haozhou's hundreds of thousands of soldiers were wiped out. Old Zhang, the governor of Hengjianshan, was defeated and captured. Now how many soldiers and horses are there in Chuzhou? I'm afraid you can't even see the four doors, otherwise how can you get out of the city smoothly?"

   Everyone bowed their heads, acquiescing to what Li Shanchang said.

   "At this point, don't think about asking General Zhu to promise you anything! The key is to see what you can do for General Zhu... Do it all, do it yourself!"

   Li Shanchang didn't let them see Zhu Yuanzhang, so he sent him away.

   is incredible, the surnamed Li turned his face and didn't recognize anyone!

   These few people were worried, and returned to Chuzhou, without daring to delay, spreading rumors in the city...Speaking of which, this businessman was fun enough.

  If Old Zhu is really a courteous corporal, they might think that Old Zhu needs them, and they will sit down and raise the price.

   But Lao Zhu didn't see him, Li Shanchang turned his face, but frightened them, he didn't dare to ask, and he worked harder to do things.

   Sure enough, I still have to punch!

  Zhu Yuanzhang waited quietly for three more days, letting his subordinates purchase the ladder rope for siege.

  Everything was prepared, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Tang He to supervise the soldiers to attack with Feng Guoyong and Feng Guosheng brothers as the forwards... in one go, he took Chuzhou.

   "We are going to have dinner in the city, can we do it?"

   "Yes!" Feng Guoyong replied loudly, "Don't worry about your superiors. The city has long been exhausted, and the hearts of the people have been separated. We are strong and strong, and our morale is high. We still can't win Chuzhou. We petition for a humble duty!"

  Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's drink celebration wine together tonight!"

   Feng Guoyong was overjoyed, hurriedly saluted, and then led the horses to kill.

  The drums of war rumbling, and the soldiers lined up, neat as a forest.

   The red flag symbolizing the Red Turban Army flutters in the wind, hunting and hunting.

   An overwhelming pressure rushed toward his face.

   The big guy is gearing up to prepare for a battle.

   But at this moment, the Chuzhou city gate suddenly opened and the suspension bridge fell.

   Feng Guoyong was taken aback, what's the matter? Are the people inside crazy? Want to open the door to fight?

   There is no wall protection, but still want to come out to fight?

What is the difference between    and sending death!

   But when he was about to meet the enemy, a person walked out slowly.

   He was naked, his fair skin was exposed, his hands turned on his back, and he was **** with ropes.

   Behind him, there was a white flag with the words Bai Jingen, the prefect of Chuzhou, Dayuan.

   is this person, who defended Chuzhou firmly and once repelled the Feng brothers. But today, he opened the gate of the city and came out naked.

   The Feng family brothers were surprised at first, then overjoyed.

   No need to fight, no need to wait for the evening, lunch can celebrate the victory in the city!

   "Go and tell the superior!" Feng Guo yelled with joy.

   After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Ximeng, including Li Shanchang, all came out surrounded by soldiers.

   To be honest, this situation is a bit weird.

   Li Shanchang used to be Bai Jingen's subordinate, and he was a book official, and the distance between the prefect and the prefect was no less than that between the prefect and the emperor... Now he is riding on horseback, and Bai Jingen is kneeling on the ground.

   Is this the meaning of the world Ding Ge?

   Really the situation has changed drastically, a gentleman should rise from the wind!

  Similarly, the Feng family brothers, who were defeated in the past, have now succeeded in their counterattack, and they have also expressed their grievances and are very pleased.

   But they are not as good as Lao Zhu!

   Once upon a time, I was just a beggar on the streets of Chuzhou, humble like an ant.

   Now that he is riding on a tall horse with tens of thousands of powerful soldiers, he can decide the life and death of the prefect in one word. This is really amazing!

   Under the influence of Zhang Ximeng, Lao Zhu did not shy away from talking about his past. The more humble you were once, the more brilliant it is now!

   We have everything by our ability, what's so embarrassing?

   "Are you Bai Jingen?" His voice was steady and strong.

   Bai Jingen knelt on the ground, hesitating a little, slamming his head on the ground.

   "It's the sinner!"

   "Are you here to surrender?"

  Bai Jingen shook his head in shame, "No."

   "No?" Old Zhu sneered, "Since it is not, you will go back, order soldiers to fight with us, and fight to the death!"

  Bai Jingen is even more sad and desolate, full of helplessness, and weeping: "If you go back to the general, the sinner is powerless to fight."

   Old Zhu chuckled, "Why can't I face it?"

Bai Jingen hesitated again and again, and finally said sadly: "Since the last time the criminals were defeated, the sinners asked the court for credit, hoping to reward money, make up for losses, and promote meritorious soldiers... However, no matter how the sinner has no money to bribe, he did not answer. As for many meritorious warriors, they scattered in a rush."

   Zhu Yuanzhang blinked his eyes, it seemed that Yuan Ting’s stupid tricks continued. This kind of thing was nothing, but it was really miserable when it fell on his opponent.

   Not only are there no rewards, but the food stocks in the city are also gone. If there is a war and the outside supply is not available, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians will have to go hungry.

No matter how old Zhu was promoting the division of fields in Dingyuan and other places, the news also came. Just the prefect’s office alone, a dozen people ran home and divided the fields to live. Who would serve you, the prefect who doesn’t know which day will die. grown ups?

   In fact, Chuzhou could no longer hold on before Lao Zhu sent his troops over. A ripe peach was just waiting for someone to pick it off.

   Now that Lao Zhu’s merchant policy has been finalized, he has further collapsed, and there is really no possibility of guarding him at all.

   But even so, Bai Jingen took the initiative to surrender, which is quite surprising. It seems that this person is quite knowledgeable.

   "Yuan Ting is mediocre, his aura is exhausted, if you are willing to return, we will not treat you badly."

   In addition to Jia Lu, this is also the official official of Yuan Ting who voluntarily returned. It is not a small official like Li Shanchang. It is very representative. Lao Zhu decided to give Bai Jingen a bargain.

   But when Bai Jingen heard this, he was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, his face stretched, his head held high, and he glared at Zhu Yuanzhang!

"I received the enlightenment of the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, I was appointed as Jinshi, shepherd and guarded the side... Since becoming an official, I have been upright and honest, with a clear conscience, not to mention serving the people, and I never dare to slack off! A desperate fight to keep one side safe." Bai Jingen's voice was loud, telling his credit that he was so proud of it.

   "In any case, I will not surrender to the thieves, the general's kindness, forgive me for not accepting it!"

   Zhu Yuanzhang was made to laugh by this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Then you are surrendered, and why? Why don't you stay in the city to fight to the death? "

"I...I know that Chuzhou is difficult to guard. I just go out of the city to ask the generals to open up, not to indiscriminately kill innocents, and not to massacre the people. As a parent official and the honorable person of a government, I really don't want to see the people's blood flow. Chenghe, the family is broken and the people die! I would rather die, with this head, in exchange for the people's ray of life!"

   "As for my own life and death, it doesn't matter long ago."

   After saying this, Bai Jingen crawled on the ground, grabbing the ground with his head, tears streaming down!

  Lao Zhu looked down at this person, and an unknown fire could not help but jump up.

   "What are you? Yuanting's running dog! You come to us to forgive the people, and you are worthy!"

   Bai Jingen was shocked, why, this is really hard for the Red Scarf thief to slaughter the people?

At this time Zhang Ximeng had beaten his horse and couldn't help but sneer, "Master, this man seems to be loyal to the army and loves the people, but he is actually a foolish car. Yuan Ting abandons him, he will not change his heart, but the king is in front, but he is licking an old face. , Ran to say three things. I don’t know that being loyal to the Yuan Ting and caring for the people are two things that are totally different!"

   Bai Jingen was said to flush with his old face, "You, you thieves, who rebelled against the court, betrayed the emperor, and utterly conscientious, dare to ridicule the official? The official was in Chuzhou and he was conscientious and hardworking, and everyone knows it!"

   quite confident!

   Zhang Ximeng turned his head and glanced at Li Shanchang.

   At this time, Li Shanchang said unhurriedly: "He is talking to himself, the unjust cases piled up in the city are like mountains, and he really thinks that begging for rain and opening a porridge factory is a good official? A joke!"

  Old Zhu said directly: "Two gentlemen, take this person, let's enter the city, and let him open his eyes, what is a good official who loves the people like a child!"
