Chapter 661 Dispute

The situation in the south is turbulent, and the war has entered a new stage, which is relatively smooth, but just as the interior of the barbarians is not stable, the interior of the old Jing Dynasty is also blowing with a kind of "tacit turmoil".

Those who stand on the emperor's side are silent, indifferent to the current direction of the country, and everyone seems to be deaf and dumb with their heads shrunk.

Even most of the speech officials who like to show "Everyone is drunk and I am sober" most of them are just staring at the south, as if they are particularly concerned about military strategy. Only a very small number of people who didn't know right or wrong jumped out and participated in the inexplicable unhealthy trends.

Of course, in addition to these weird unhealthy trends, there are also other major events that make people look sideways and think deeply. For example, Xuanqingwei launched another large-scale internal purge operation without warning, and directly slashed on the neck of Xuanqingwei's senior management.

On November 28th, Xuanqing Wei Jingxi Governor's Yamen was ordered by Commander Pang Ban to arrest Jingnan Governor Liao Chengfeng and a total of 152 people in his family, including a total of 152 people directly in his family, and sent them to prison overnight. And at the same time, a rectification operation was launched on all Xuanqingwei establishments in the area under the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Zhenfu envoy.

In just three days, a total of 75 people were imprisoned in the three Xuanqing Guard Thousand Households in the Jingnan Zhenfu envoy's area, seven people were killed for resisting, and more than 600 family members were implicated.

This is another big effort in the continuation of the large-scale purge operation after Xuan Qingwei established the Black Flag Camp. However, the Jingnan Governor's Yamen was targeted among the four Governor's Offices, and the impact on the East and North Governor's Offices was extremely weak this time.

Many people were wondering why Xuan Qingwei would choose to carry out such an internal purge at this moment, and it was obvious that he was rushing to Liao Chengfeng, the governor of Jingnan. Moreover, the main force responsible for carrying out the cross-regional purge was Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi, who had conflicts with Liao Chengfeng some time ago and was dismissed by Liao Chengfeng in public.

Is this a public revenge? Has Xuan Qingwei's interior been so rotten? Many people think so. This idea stems from the fear of Xuan Qingwei in these people's hearts. When they see the target of fear killing each other, they will naturally clap their hands and cheer, so this saying has a lot of market.

Of course, most people only dare to speak in private. After the incident with the Qin family before, who would dare to talk about Xuan Qingwei's matter now? Very few.

However, those big figures with connections and energy in the upper echelons of the Jingjiu Dynasty will not "gloat" over Xuan Qingwei's so-called "internal rectification". Even they didn't agree with Xuan Qingwei's term "internal rectification", and felt that "cleaning" was much more appropriate.

Who didn't know that standing behind Liao Chengfeng was the Third Prince Wu Wang Yang Yong? Moreover, apart from King Wu, Liao Chengfeng also had two in-laws of the Xiu Clan behind him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the relationship below is an out-and-out boss in Xuanqing Guard. Just like the previous purge of Xuan Qingwei, Liao Chengfeng must have had problems, but who touched him? It was just that he was transferred from Jingxi to Jingnan Fushi Yamen. At that time, it was more interpreted that Pang Ban was providing Jiang Cheng with a promotion platform.

Facts in the past show that even hardliners like Pang Ban are afraid of the forces behind Liao Chengfeng. Perhaps the previous adjustment was a warning from Pang Ban to people in Liao Chengfeng's lineage.

Now that he chooses to deal with Liao Chengfeng during the royal family's "big exam", this has to make people think about it. In particular, the princes dare not miss anything that may hide a mystery.

Yang Shu was not in the imperial city. He first went to Jingdong in mid-November, visited seven or eight big cities, large and small, and then transferred to Jingbei.

Now Yang Shu lives in Fengjie, the largest central city in Jingbei.

As the largest grain-growing area in the Jingjiu dynasty, Jingbei has always been the absolute core, the key point. This war made the south cloudy, but the Jingbei side was in full swing, and 50% of the rations of the southern frontier army came from here.

So this time, after Yang Shu led the implementation of the national money and food austerity strategy, he focused on Jingbei.

Before going to Jingdong, Yang Shu wanted to familiarize himself with the process and various joints of this job. At the same time, it is also necessary to familiarize the staff and ministers under his command with the practice in this area.

After Yang Shu figured out all aspects of the tightening of money and grain, and got nods from his staff and ministers to indicate that the time was right, he only diverted to Jingbei on November 27.

On the contrary, with the accumulation of experience in Jingdong, Yang Shu will naturally appear to be more at ease in Jingbei. In addition, Bai Changqing from the household department is now barely on his side, which also makes it more convenient for Yang Shu to run errands. Whether it is a bank or a granary, the household department has detailed entry and exit documents, and every transaction can be traced to an individual following the records.

In this way, the local government can only dream about Ka Yangshu's neck in terms of news, and the only way to protect himself is to cooperate honestly with him to carry out the austerity strategy.

So up to the third day of December, the errands in Yang Shu's hands have been progressing relatively smoothly during this period of time. When the local officials saw that the household department had turned to Yang Shu, they naturally gave up all their fantasies. They only hoped that Yang Shu would be merciful and leave as much surplus as possible for his jurisdiction, so that he would not There will be a sense of austerity in depression under their rule.

If people's livelihood declines due to austerity, it will be a big stain on the local system. Even if it is because of the special period of wartime, who would like to have a record of "the people are in dire straits and complaints are full of complaints" on their resume?

So after Yang Shu arrived in Jingbei, he was always praised by others, cautiously lest the flattery would not be appropriate enough. Even in order to make it easier for Yang Shu to handle affairs, the chief officer of the local yamen directly gave up his mansion and packed it up for Yang Shu to stay in.

Yang Shu didn't show any hypocrisy these blatant overtures and flattery, he accepted all flattery. Of course, forget it if you want to bribe him, he will write it down in his notebook. Yang Shu is not going to keep such a mindless person who bribes the prince.

In addition, Yang Shu hardly concealed his methods of using his power to win over local officials, just doing it so blatantly. Those who stand on his side can get some preferential treatment in terms of money and food tightening strategy, which counts no matter how the battle situation changes later. If you have already stood in line with others, or rejected Yang Shu, or want to play tricks of the fence-sitting faction, then you will be further strictly demanded.

This simple and rude approach has attracted dissatisfaction from many people. Because the officialdom has always paid attention to "bargaining", and also talking about "face" and "advance and retreat". Who was as reckless and vulgar as Yang Shu before?

But Yang Shu's idea is simple: the big exam is here, and Yu Benwang's life is at stake. How can I have time to grind my teeth and play guessing games with you?
