Chapter 1030 The real murderer of greed for ink
Cai Jing and a few Khitan leaders walked around the Song Dynasty and returned to Yunzhou again. The group of people calmed down, and they all felt strong awe in their words and deeds.
There is no way to be afraid!
The progress of the Song Dynasty was a long way to go. They visited the arsenal. Those sharp muskets and cannons were as easy to produce as cold water.
You should know that the Khitans are not equipped with iron weapons at present, but the Song Dynasty has entered the age of firearms. They can shoot 150 steps of fire guns and thousands of kilograms of cannons, and there are too many.
There are so many tractors, and the entire army is simply a divine weapon and a general, unparalleled.
These guys chose to surrender honestly.
Cai Jing returned successfully. As soon as he arrived in Yunzhou, he received an important appointment. He was transferred from the county magistrate of Ruzhou to the position of the regent of Yunzhou, and was the chief magistrate of Yunzhou Prefecture.
In other words, he jumped from the second in command of a small county to the head of a prefecture, with a high position and a powerful position and a step to reach the top.
Cai Jing’s first thought was that it was worth taking risks.
As for the second thought, it is that the prince is so generous!
But after being happy, Cai Jing quickly calmed down.
It seems that the mess in Yunzhou is not that easy to solve!
After war and plunder, Yunzhou was already in a mess. Although the Khitan tribes were temporarily honest, they inevitably had different intentions. There were millions of Han people. They had been under the Khitan rule for more than a hundred years and were very different from the Han people in the Central Plains... In the past, they were very passionate and felt that it was a good thing to return to the Song Dynasty.
But this time they were also affected by the plunder. Although they did not rebel on a large scale, their closeness to the Song Dynasty suddenly became fear and even disgust. It can be said that the entire Yunzhou was completely disinterested and without the suppression of the imperial army, and problems would occur at any time.
At this time, the position of the prefect is equivalent to sitting on the crater. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces!
Cai Jing came to Wang Ning'an's headquarters in fear, handed over a famous letter, and was summoned soon.
"The case in Yunzhou is almost over. I want to go back to the capital and live a while, and I will go to Youzhou to take charge." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Why, I think it's not easy to handle?"
Cai Jing grinned and nodded.
"There are so many things to do, but the humble position is really nothing to do!"
"Hahaha, if it's easy, it's not your turn!" Wang Ning'an smiled happily, but Cai Jing couldn't be happy at all. He finally knew who he learned about the crampyness in his bones. Prince, it's now, don't joke?
"You talk about it first, what are you going to do?" Wang Ning'an became serious.
Cai Jing thought for a while, "I want to open a scholarship in Yunzhou to win the hearts of the Han people and to supplement officials and servants. When the people are fully repaired, we must rectify the order and calm the people's hearts. Let the people have peace of mind and rest. Perhaps within three to five years, Yunzhou will be able to recover..."
Cai Jing said while peeking at Wang Ning'an's expression. He found that the prince was not very happy. Obviously, his method did not touch Wang Ning'an, and Cai Jing's heart beat the drum!
"Your method is still a little more conservative. I ask you, are there no different ambitions among the Khitan tribes? There are so many Han people. They used to be the southern officials of the Khitan, but now they have become ordinary people. Do you have no resentment? They rebelled just now, can you let go of this matter? "
Cai Jing was frightened when he heard this. My prince, you are so revengeful. You have destroyed several tribes, why are you still not satisfied?
Cai Jing dared not say much, and Wang Ning'an continued: "Yunzhou is rich in coal and has grasslands one after another, suitable for the development of animal husbandry and wool textile industry. This is how you want to build a railway to connect Yunzhou and Youzhou."
“Build a road?”
Cai Jing was stunned, "Prince, this is probably not a small amount of money, right? How much can the court pay? I am afraid that Yunzhou cannot afford the low-level position?"
Wang Ning'an was unhappy. How could Cai Jing look back and forth? He was not as quick as a treacherous minister. You must know that you are so indecisive, so I will change someone!
He patiently taught his lesson: "This time the court has recovered so many pastures and mines, especially coal mines. You have to mobilize personnel, especially those prisoners, to dig coal... Also, these land pastures can be distributed to ordinary Han people, but they need to pay for redemption, so that you have the start-up funds for road construction. At the same time, you must capture barbarians in the name of quelling rebellion, and there are all other people who can be used as labor to build roads."
"I hope that within two years, the roads will be built, the economy will be restored, and all parts of Yunzhou will be cleaned. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand..."
Cai Jing swallowed with difficulty, how could he not understand? The most fatal thing was the last sentence!
What is clean!
Isn’t it just to drive all the annoying people to build roads and then let them die of exhaustion?
When I thought of the train he had taken a few days ago, every sleeper underneath also had the corpses of Japanese people. It turned out that building was not a casual talk, it was a very cruel thing!
Cai Jing was a little hesitant, but he adjusted quickly... He was the Quanzhi Yunzhou Prefecture, what does it mean? He is a temporary worker!
Only by doing well can you become a regular person. If you fail, you will get out of here... Haven't you been looking forward to an opportunity? Now that the opportunity is coming, do you have to be afraid to take action because of your timidity and so-called conscience?
Wouldn't that become a squeamish girl?
What can a man do if he makes achievements and does not make up his mind?
Cai Jing expressed his understanding.
Wang Ning'an was still very suspicious of Cai Jing's ability to do things, but then it proved that he did not choose the wrong person. Cai Jing's methods exceeded Wang Ning'an's estimate.
First of all, Cai Jing registered everyone in Yunzhou and re-entered the households and clerks. Those who had served as officials for the Khitan and had served as minions were demoted to slaves... and their cattle, sheep, houses and property were distributed to the lower-class people... In this way, Cai Jing won the support of most people.
He threw all his slaves into coal mines and opened 11 large coal mines in Yunzhou. With coal income, Cai Jing established a militia system and recruited immigrants from the mainland to expand his troops.
Using militia and border troops, we went deep into the grassland several times to clear out disobedient tribes.
Under his attack, the Khitan tribes gradually gave up nomadic and chose to settle down. They also signed supply agreements with the workshops in Yunzhou and became full-time sheep raising workers.
Cai Jing won over some of them and attacked some of them, and sent the captured Khitan Ding Zhuang and the barbarians from the northern grassland to build roads... It is worth mentioning that Liang Shicheng was responsible for supervising the railway, while Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were responsible for leading troops to clear out. Unconsciously, these future treacherous ministers had begun to make achievements and make achievements.
In two years, Cai Jing and others arrested nearly 100,000 prisoners and demoted 300,000 to slaves. It was precisely because of 400,000 that the railway between Yunzhou and Youzhou was built.
Yunzhou's coal was continuously flowing and imported into Youzhou.
As the core of heavy industry, Youzhou's steel, machinery, tractors, trains, military industry, and other industries have made rapid progress... Cai Jing has become a new generation of officials.
Of course, these are still a later story, so I have to wait and talk about them later.
What’s important is that the case finally came to an end. Zhao Shu ordered the arrest of people, and at the same time issued an edict, allowing Wang Ning'an and a group of imperial envoys to return to the capital to report their lives.
The land of Yunzhou is still very chaotic. It is not enough to rely on a small Cai Jing alone. Wang Ning'an kept Zhang Yun and asked him to serve as Governor Yan Yun, taking charge of everything.
The rest of the people, Chen Xiliang, Wu Chong, and Kumamoto, all wanted to return to Beijing.
Among the crowd, the most embarrassing thing is Wen Xianggong.
I found Xingqing Mansion and his lair. Who knows what I can find out?
Maybe he will be sent to jail!
...
"Brother Kuanfu, be happy. Didn't I put you in handcuffs and put them in a prison car? I think you still have a chance to save them!" Wang Ning'an comforted Wen Yanbo insincerely.
Lao Wen shook his head with a slight face, "Erlang, we are friends for many years, why do you have to kill them all? Isn't it okay to leave me a way out?"
Mr. Wen was full of grief and anger, as if Wang Ning'an had become an unforgivable villain.
"That brother Kuanfu seems to have greedy 5 million in one breath, not me, but you!"
"You!" Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth, "Don't think I don't know. Your family's overseas property is more than a hundred times more than I do. Don't look at you who handed it out in public, but you only know how much you have hidden in secret! At worst, you can open it all and see how honest and self-reliant our King of Yan is?"
Wen Yanbo said furiously, the more threatened he was, the more Wang Ning'an wanted to laugh. Lao Wen said this only proved that he really had no choice. The old fox was squeezed into the corner, and it was so ending.
"Elegant, you must be elegant. Even if you die at the forefront, you must not lose the demeanor of the priest!"
Wang Ning'an walked forward with a laugh, leaving Wen Yanbo, gritting his teeth, helpless... Even if he was reluctant, they still returned to the capital. Almost with them, the imperial envoy who searched the merchants of Xingqing Mansion, and they also brought back the results.
According to a thorough investigation, there were 7 accounts with a total of 15.5 million yuan, the most of which was 5 million yuan. The money belonged to a person named Han Hua. After investigation, Han Hua was the priest Han Jiang, who was demoted to the Western Xia. His courtesy name was Zihua, and Han Hua was his pseudonym!
In other words, the mastermind behind the embezzlement of Yunzhou's wealth this time was Han Jiang, who had little to do with our husband Wen... Along the way, Wen Yanbo, who was in a depressed mood, seemed to have come alive, and could not help but be happy between his eyebrows and eyes.
I want to catch me, but I still have a short time to catch it!
Before Wen Yanbo entered Beijing, he also submitted a memorial. According to the investigation, a servant in Yunzhou Prefecture confessed that he had a grudge against the former prefect Xue Xiang, and he used medicine to frame Xue Xiang... In other words, the case had nothing to do with Wang Rong... Lao Wen made the emperor angry the two things the most, one was that he was greedy and the other was that he drove Wang Rong crazy.
Now that greed is not Wen Yanbo, he has relieved Wang Rong of his guilt. It seems that our husband Wen is going to get out of here again...
