Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 278 Recruitment

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. It's a coincidence to talk about this."

Bi Suinan sorted out his thoughts and talked in a casual manner.

"There are only a few pirates in the East, and the largest pirate is occupied by Zihezhou on the sea, and the leader is Gong Yuanjing. His ancestors were from our Dayan people. His real name was Yao Chengyu, and his ancestral home was in Gushan County, Qingyang Prefecture. During the chaos in the world of Yingzong, the ancestors of the Yao family went to the South China Ocean to avoid disaster and then settled their homes in Nanyang. Yao Chengyu was the fifth generation in Nanyang."

After Bi Suinan talked about the origin of the pirate leader Yao Chengyu, he talked about the details of his contact with Yao Chengyu.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengxing, Bi Suinan encountered a difficult thing when he was investigating a case of encroachment of land.

An unknown wealthy businessman occupied thousands of acres of land in Gushan County, so that hundreds of farmers had no land to plant.

Such things are actually common in Dayan. Rich businessmen colluded with the government and relied on their backers to occupy the land of farmers. In Dayan, there were countless people.

As long as there is no big trouble, the court will turn a blind eye.

Even if some wealthy businessmen occupy land, the wealthy people do not know how to farm themselves, and in the end they will rent it to farmers to farm.

But it seems a bit unusual here in Gushan County. After the wealthy businessman took the land, he did not engage in farming. Instead, he circled and built a manor.

Bi Suinan immediately stopped his post as the magistrate of Gushan County and distributed the silver to relevant farmers, and also asked the whole story.

The emperor was immediately overjoyed and talked with Bi Suinan about the details of opening the sea.

But a wealthy businessman who occupys such land to build a luxurious mansion is a major event beyond the rules.

Bi Suinan pondered for a moment and said, "If the court sincerely seeks comfort, I think it is at least 70% sure."

The reason why farmers did not get much money was that they were deducted from it by the Gushan County Magistrate.

Since Lin Yuanzhi went to the yamen, he has been waiting at the gate of the Forbidden City. He has been waiting until the beginning of the You hour, and finally waited for his father-in-law to come out of the Forbidden City.

"Yao Chengyu is now the leader of the pirates. He has 700 ships and more than 30,000 troops under his command. He has robbed him all year round and has many possessions in his hands. Yao Chengyu is quite smart. Now he is not only doing robbery business, but also has hundreds of businesses under his command, covering the East and South China."

This is extremely unusual. In the past, when Lin Yuanzhi held a court meeting, he had to rush to the yamen to click Mao. If he went home in a hurry like this, something must have happened.

"After Yao Chengyu robbed the goods at sea, the Yao family reloaded the goods through their trades and then sold them to the West."

With this excuse, Bi Suinan immediately took a group of soldiers from the mansion to Gushan County.

Because Bi Suinan was in a hurry to enter Beijing, Bi had to clean up a courtyard in the mansion for his father to live in.

"Bi Suinan, since you have been in contact with Yao Chengyu for a long time, why don't you ask for instructions from above? I have never seen your report here?"

That night, Bi Suinan lived in Corning's Mansion, and Bi arranged a large table of banquets to welcome the crowd, which was no problem.

Bi Suinan has always hated the land occupied, but he has no excuses on weekdays. When the land transfer was transferred, both parties signed contracts at the government office, and they couldn't start even if they found out.

Bi Suinan made a few suggestions to the emperor, but was still waiting for the emperor's reply, and could not return to Qingyang for a while.

Early that morning, Lin Zisu was greeting Bi Suinan, but she met her father Lin Yuanzhi abnormally.

"so much?"

The emperor had sat back in front of the imperial case at some point. He was obviously very interested in Bi Suinan's suggestion. He placed one hand on the imperial case and knocked on the table rhythmically.

This time, the monarch and ministers reported the case for nearly two hours. It was not until the sun was west that Bi Suinan came out of Jiyi Hall.

As a result, the hundreds of farmers had to go to the yamen to beg the government for justice.

"I think that the ban on the sea ban by Emperor Taizong was all due to the siege. Now Yao Chengyu is tired and wants to return home, so he might as well take this opportunity to recruit him. As long as Yao Chengyu surrenders to my Dayan, the siege will be able to calm down without any effort. The sea surface is peaceful afterwards, and my Dayan reopens the sea trade is just around the corner."

The emperor knew about it in his heart and waved his hand and said, "After these years, I will not ask about these things anymore. I ask you, if the court recruits Yao Chengyu, how sure do you think you are?"

Gushan County has long been colluding with wealthy businessmen, so naturally ignore it.

The wealthy businessman was happy to see the government coming forward and paid enough money to Gushan County.

However, the result was unexpected. The wealthy businessman found the land he bought in Gushan County and gave enough silver according to the market price.

Bi Suinan was stunned and said, "In the fifteenth year of Zhengxing, I have mentioned it many times to the Governor Zhou of Jiangnan, and also submitted a memorial to the court. It was precisely because I saw that the court had no objection that I dared to submit a memorial to the opening of the maritime ban in the sixteenth year of Zhengxing."

There was an elder suddenly at home. Due to etiquette, Lin Zisu could no longer sleep in as before. She went to greet her grandfather in the morning every day.

Then Bi Suinan sent a message to the owner of the mansion. After meeting him several times, he found out the other party's background.

It was just a civil act at the beginning, but because of the high bid, Gushan County was moved after hearing about it and volunteered to take over the matter.

Seeing that his father was anxious, Lin Zisu thought that there was something important to discuss with his grandfather, so she immediately said goodbye to Bi Suinan.

"The owner of the mansion is the Yao family. Because Yao Chengyu's grandfather lived overseas for a long time and thought about returning to his roots when he was old, Yao Chengyu instructed a businessman below to buy land to build a house in his ancestral home."

Living in Corning's Mansion, in addition to preparing data for the emperor every day, he would test the knowledge of several juniors.

The plaintiff had no choice but to take the blame in Gushan County. He was in a hurry and brought more than 100 people to the door of Qingyang Prefecture.

The emperor looked at Bi Suinan with a suspicious face, and heard Bi Suinan say, "My Dayan is the supreme country of the Heavenly Kingdom. Your Majesty's holy name spreads from home and abroad. All the people who are well-off in the world are looking forward to it. Yao Chengyu was originally my Dayan bloodline, and now he is floating overseas. As long as he comforts him well, he will definitely submit sincerely."

Lin Yuanzhi stopped her and said, "Sister, you have heard a lot of political affairs from Your Majesty these days. Since you are here, you might as well listen."

Lin Zisu stayed as he said. Lin Yuanzhi first closed the doors and windows open tightly, and then said worriedly: "My father-in-law, the seven censors of the Censorate this morning submitted a memorial to His Majesty to impeach you to collude with pirates and tolerate troublemakers to cause trouble, and even bring out the evidence."

Lin Yuanzhi said, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Bi Suinan.

"My father-in-law, this is a copy of the memorial. After the morning court, Eunuch Zhang from the Ganqing Palace called me to see if you want to write a memorial here to defend. Your Majesty will try to give you justice as much as possible."
