Chapter 466 The master is more powerful than the apprentice
When Tan Yulin was held down, a brave soldier came over with a ghost-headed knife and wanted to chop his head directly.
What's the reason for this prefect Tan like to see a ghost?
I came to greet you, but I was beheaded, gave you a piece of meat, and I was kicked. You, Wang Ning'an, are sick!
"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wang!" Tan Yulin shouted at the top of his voice, like killing a pig, "I am a court official, and the ancestor of the Song Dynasty. If you don't kill scholars and officials, you can't kill me..."
Wang Ning'an laughed sarcastically, "The bullshit guru, in my eyes, there is only a traitor who is in trouble with the country and the people. I will kill you for me!"
Without saying anything, the soldier waved the ghost-headed sword, and a bloody light instantly. Tan Yulin's head flew out more than three feet away until he died. He had not figured out how Wang Ning'an dared to kill him! His eyes were wide open, full of suspicion.
Wang Ning'an didn't care at all, so he asked his soldiers to pick up Tan Yulin's head and tied it to the bamboo pole.
"No need to go to the city. I will immediately inform the surrounding villages and towns, telling the people that the court has killed corrupt officials and will immediately restore the supply of salt. Please go home alone, so as not to be deceived by evil people and cause trouble. That will only harm the family."
The soldiers nodded quickly and immediately divided into a team and went down to pass the order.
Wang Ning'an turned his head and looked at the people who followed Tan Yulin out to greet him. There were many officials from Qingzhou and dozens of gentry. They were all scared and some even collapsed on the ground.
A prefect killed him if he said he could kill him. If he wanted to kill them, it would be like crushing a bed bug to death!
"Good luck, please spare me!"
Someone took the lead in kneeling on the ground, and was begging for mercy.
Wang Ning'an glanced at him and smiled and said, "Everyone is free from tribute. There are faults and debts. As a local official, Tan Yulin has a deserving of the grace of the holy people and deserves the crime. I believe that most of the Qingzhou officials are good and have their hearts in the court."
"Yes, yes, yes... My husband is right. We are all blinded by Tan Yulin. This guy is the worst..."
Anyway, everyone is dead, so he is not burdened at all.
"Well, I know that this civil rebellion is due to the salt industry. For so many years, the salt law has been chaotic, merchants have benefited, and the people have suffered damage. The public has long been resentful. It has reached a point where it cannot be resolved. This time, I came here and suppressing the rebellion is second, mainly to solve the disadvantages of the salt law."
Wang Ning'an said, looking at the gentry, seeing that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other, Wang Ning'an smiled: "Everyone, I am going to select a group of gentry with good credit, high reputation, loyalty to the court, and willing to do things for the people. Everyone united to establish a salt industry association together, and everyone will be responsible for transporting and selling salt in the future."
"The salt business is profitable, but it must be stopped as soon as possible. You cannot treat the villagers as fish, and you cannot fight against the court and do whatever you want. A gentleman loves money and gets it well. I hope everyone must have a sense of responsibility. So, you can discuss it immediately and see who is willing to join this salt industry association."
...
As soon as Wang Ning'an took action, he first killed Tan Yulin and then threw out the salt association. He heard these people's hearts and danced, and the bloody scene was left behind.
No one is sure to know how much salt has. However, the salt merchants always hold together, with officials from the court guarding them and countless thugs below, and no one dares to compete with them for meat to eat.
Now that such a large piece of fat was thrown out at once, can these gentry not be moved?
In just a short moment, Wang Ning'an was no longer the demon king with a hideous face and murder without blinking an eye, but instead became a boy from Shancai, loved by everyone and blooming with flowers.
Wang Ning'an did not choose to go to the city, but slept outside the city. At night, a fire was set up, and Wang Ning'an and the officials and gentry of Qingzhou drank and chatted with each other.
They talked for the whole night, and Wang Ning'an mainly talked about two things.
For officials, as the imperial court moved its capital to Luoyang, the northwest became more and more important. Not long ago, Sima Guang boldly promoted a group of officials with outstanding political achievements and had already been recognized by His Majesty.
"When I was in the capital, I heard a joke, saying that it was about the matter at the Censorate. One of the Censors did not sleep well at night. When they were discussing the matter, they slept secretly without hearing anything. As a result, Lord Zhongcheng suddenly asked his opinion. What do you guess he said?"
Everyone didn't know what Wang Ning'an meant, so they shook their heads.
"He immediately said: This matter is absolutely impossible! Then the ancestors' family law and sages talked a lot about it. Lord Zhongcheng actually said good things, so he did what he wanted!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, their eyes widened. There was such a ridiculous thing?
Seeing everyone's surprise, Wang Ning'an sighed and said, "This is the censor and the rumor in our dynasty! They are in the name of supervising all officials, but in fact they are looking for trouble and scolding people. They do not do things, but only scold the people who do things. Of course, there are indeed some corrupt officials, but they are more unreasonable and trolling around, which is no different from a shrew!"
This is what Wang Ning'an dares to say. Anyway, he has been broken up by the censors. Some people are impeached every day, so there is no need to care more.
"It can be seen from this that Qingliu is easy to be accustomed to. As long as you find faults and find faults, you can still make things happen out of nothing and slander them badly. Everyone is a discerning person and must have a deliberate account in your heart. It is different to follow the officials. You must be able to do things, be able to do things, and be willing to do things!"
Wang Ning'an said: "Your Majesty has mentioned to me that the assessment should be held in the Ministry of Personnel, mainly for Xun officials who have outstanding political achievements and no Jinshi status. There are several conditions: I have to work in the yamen for more than 10 years, have achievements, have good character, be honest and self-confident. After the assessment, I will use it like Jinshi officers. Not to mention other places, there are places such as Youzhou and other places. I just recovered and Qingliu cannot do it. Xun officials must be used. This time, I also want to select some reliable talents and recommend them to the court."
Who are the officials present?
They are all small officials in the local area, many of which are only eighty or nine ranks. As Wang Ning'an said, they did not have the reputation of Jinshi, started in the officialdom with a low start and had been in the officialdom for ten or twenty years, but they were only in the ranks of officials.
When they encounter something, they ask them to do it. If they have achieved grades, they are Shangguan, but in fact they are angry.
The incense bait thrown by Wang Ning'an gave them a way to advance, which hit the weak point of these people and quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the big guy.
Then Wang Ning'an talked with the gentry again, mainly about the industrial development in the northwest.
"The Qin and Han dynasties used Guanzhong as the foundation to create the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. Now Guanzhong is in decline and people's livelihood is much worse than hundreds of years ago. But I believe that the elders of Guanzhong are hardworking and wise, and have enough ways to solve the current difficulties. Guanzhong cannot just dig food from the soil. To develop breeding, you should plant grass and raise cattle and sheep in barren fields. Recently, Youzhou has made some breakthroughs in wool spinning, and can introduce experience and technology to the northwest. In addition, the imperial court is preparing to find ways to establish relationships with Qingtang, open up the trade route to the Western Regions, and restore the Silk Road on the road. Only when the road is opened, when the merchants come, the pockets of the big guys will be bulging."
"The next Northwest will have a great development. If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it for life..."
...
Never underestimate Wang Da’s ability to fool him. After talking to him all night, the officials and gentry in Qingzhou were in tears. Wang Xianggong was indeed extraordinary in his literary and military skills.
They really want to throw their arms out of the way and do something big.
"Everyone, the most urgent task is to solve civil unrest and restore order. Only by being calm and stable can you make a fortune. Everyone has wealth and reputation. Don't follow the intentional people to mess around and ruin a good future. Ask yourself, is it good for you to be in chaos in the northwest? I'll give you eight words: Peace is a blessing, and benefits make you confused!"
The profit is so ignorant!
It’s so terrible!!
This guy was like thunder, and it sounded over everyone's heads. It turned out that Wang Xianggong knew everything, but he was kind and did not hold everyone accountable. He just killed Tan Yulin and took the blame!
"We are engraved with our hearts in our hearts!"
Although Wang Ning'an didn't know what was prepared in Qingzhou, he could tell that it was definitely a dragon's nest. If he plunged into it, there would be no good ending.
After beating these people, Wang Ning'an still did not enter the city, but ran to various villages and towns without stopping.
Tan Yulin's head had been sent, and a prefect killed a prefect, and the resentment of the people had disappeared a lot. Moreover, many people were feeling terrified after rebelling these days.
Many people had quietly escaped home. When they saw Tan Yulin's head, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wang Ning'an arrived. Whenever he went there, he would send someone to post a notice, asking the people to rest assured that the court was not here to suppress the bandits, nor did he get a bandit. His Majesty was very anxious when he heard that the people could not eat salt and had already ordered that the people would not be allowed to add salt. When will the people eat salt, your Majesty would eat it!
The king and father share the joys and sorrows with the people.
I have to say that Uncle Zhao has a good reputation among the people. When he heard that the emperor stopped eating salt, the people were very moved.
Wang Ning'an told everyone that there is indeed a shortage of salt at the moment, but the court has already found a way to allocate a part from the army, and each family will receive 8 taels of less than five and 1 kilogram of more than five.
I hope everyone can understand the difficulties of the court and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
The people in the northwest were simple and Wang Ning'an personally led the soldiers to carry salt on war horses and delivered it to everyone. Soon, the villages and towns around Qingzhou spread.
The court not only did not pursue the crime, but also sent Master Qingtian to bring salt. What else can everyone complain about? Especially when I heard that Wang Ning'an was young, he held an important position and was the minister of the court. Not long ago, he also liberated Youzhou and was even more a hero and a hero.
All the anger of the people disappeared, and everyone ran around to tell each other, and the tens of thousands of people who had gathered had almost ran away overnight. Many young men from the northwest came to visit, hoping to join the army and follow Wang Xianggong to kill the enemy and make contributions.
In this way, the people around Wang Ning'an were like snowballing, and more and more people were rolling, reaching thousands of people.
However, everything is always unexpected. When Wang Ning'an sent his subordinates to deliver salt to Maling Town, he encountered resistance.
Many of the people here are descendants of Dangxiang and have a strong custom. A few days ago, they besieged Qingzhou and sent more than 200 people to Maling Town. They never believed that the court would be kind and let them go.
What is giving salt is a scam!
It means to eliminate everyone's vigilance and then catch them all in one go.
Maling Town built a village to defend itself and refused to let the Wang family army enter at all.
"Sir, these people will never repent. Let's order us to lead our troops to calm down Maling Town."
"absurd!"
Wang Ning'an walked a few times on the ground and immediately ordered the soldiers not to wear armor, do not carry weapons, do not ride war horses, carry salt, and immediately send salt.
"Tell you, no matter what happens, you are allowed to move."
The soldiers were dissatisfied, "What if they hit someone?"
"Slap your left face and send me your right face!" Wang Ning'an said without any doubt.
The soldiers were forced to go to Maling Town again. Seeing that the soldiers were not equipped, the people rushed forward and captured everyone.
The soldiers were ordered to resist, but not only were the salt stolen, but even their clothes were stripped naked. When they came back, they had no shame to see anyone.
After seeing this, Wang Ning'an was not angry, but instead laughed, "It's great to abide by military orders. Go back and get promoted. The villagers in the northwest are suffering. I heard that some families only have a set of clothes that can be worn when they go out. You can immediately prepare 500 pieces of coarse cloth and 500 pieces of clothes and send them to me!"
The soldiers are all crazy, Lord Wang, you are a fool!
They were so angry that Wang Ning'an carried two pieces of cloth himself, "If you don't go, then I will be the only one to go."
"Don't!"
The soldiers were frightened. If their husband was stripped naked, they would really be damned!
He gritted his teeth and sent the cloth and clothes to Maling Town. This time, the door of Maling Town opened, and several elderly tribes led everyone to kneel on the ground...
Chapter completed!
