Chapter 910 The Legendary Chai Daguan
Yan Ji said so much aggrieved. Seeing him crying so hard that he became timid, Wang Ning'an couldn't get angry anymore. He was not suitable for the officialdom, and he had nothing to say when he fell to this point.
"You get up first."
Yan Jidao wiped his tears and sat opposite Wang Ning'an, and was about to prepare tea, but suddenly realized that he had not drunk tea for three days and had drunk all the only jar of wine. How rude, Yan Jidao was uneasy.
However, Zhang Dun dredged the well water, which was clear and sweet, and poured a cup for himself and his master.
Wang Ning'an took a sip, moistened his throat, and asked, "Tell me what the matter is. Why did the imperial court kill people? What orders did you give?"
"I..." Yan Jidao opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.
Zhang Dun paused the water cup in his hand.
"Brother Xiaoshan, when is it now? The prince arrived in person. If you have any injustice, tell me the truth. If you don't, you will still hesitate, but no one can save you."
"I, I'm wronged!"
Yan Jidao lowered his head, tears rolling in his eyes, which was so pitiful.
He said from beginning to end that since the road construction was deployed at the end of last year, various places have successively acquired land. Xuzhou is a key force in the north and south, and both roads have to pass through here, and the task of obtaining land is much heavier than elsewhere. Yan Jidao is not a person who works. After he took office, he has always advocated the rule of inaction. To put it bluntly, he just traveled around the mountains and rivers, found a few friends from the literary world, and sang poems and sang together, and had a lot of fun.
Suddenly a lot of things fell on his head, and he caught them blindly.
Fortunately, the court set a standard for expropriation of land. The land can be replaced and compensated, and reasonable resettlement can be carried out according to the land prices over the years, so that the people must be satisfied.
"I discussed with my subordinate Mubin clerk. They thought that Xuzhou had few land and many people, and it was not easy to replace land. Therefore, I agreed to use cash compensation. I also specifically instructed not to treat the people badly, and to calculate it twice the market price..." Speaking of this, Yan Jidao really cried, "Prince, I really think about the people and did not do anything that harms the world, but who knew that the things turned out like this! I really can't figure it out!"
After he finished speaking, Wang Ning'an didn't say anything, but Zhang Dun snorted twice, "Brother Xiaoshan, have you been here? It's true that there are many people and few lands, but can't you really get out of a little land? What is the market price in previous years? Will it take three years, five years, or one year? How should you pay for the compensation to the people? Is it installment or one-time... Where will the people live after receiving the money, and what will they rely on for living in the future? Have you asked about all these?"
Faced with this series of problems, Yan Jidao's eyes widened. What a joke? I am an official, do you still need to worry about this?
"Why... Brother Zihou, there are naturally minor officials responsible for these trivial matters. I don't think they dare to do whatever they want."
"You want to?"
Zhang Dun vomited three liters of blood and was about to faint.
"Brother Xiaoshan, do you know that even if a good decree is a problem during the execution process, all the efforts will be wasted... What's more, land acquisition and relocation are related to the life and death of millions of people. You dare to be the boss of the hand. I really don't know what to say to you!"
Yan Jidao was stunned and murmured to himself: "Why is it so troublesome? No one told me..."
Wang Ning'an shook his head, but couldn't say anything.
"You can check it first. In short, the crime of dereliction of duty cannot be eliminated."
After saying that, Wang Ning'an got up and left.
Yan Jidao agreed and actually sat there in a daze. Zhang Dun wanted to rush up and punch him, you two-five-child! The master promised to save your life. Why can't you even say auspicious words? Why does Mr. Yan have such a fool son as you?
...
"Actually, it's no wonder." Wang Ning'an smiled slightly on the way to the inn, "Zihou, to be honest, although you are a child of a noble family, your life experience is quite bumpy."
Zhang Dun blushed, "Master, can you stop mentioning this?"
"No, I have no other intentions. I just think that the children of the Zhang family are no longer successful now. You, an unpopular person, can revitalize the family business. I think the elders of the Zhang family were unexpected, right?"
It turns out that I am praising myself!
Zhang Dun was a little proud, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true that there was something to say.
Many people are superstitious about famous teachers and people, thinking that by pouring countless resources and giving the best conditions, the younger generations can become dragons and phoenixes... Let's assume that this idea is correct, according to this logic, the descendants of wealthy families should become better and better... But in fact, wealth has no generations, and with money, you will definitely be arrogant and extravagant. The resources are too easy to come, so you don't know how to cherish them.
Looking at Yan Jidao's appearance really made Wang Ning'an and Zhang Dun alert. They are both fathers, and they are young and in high positions. If they don't educate their children well, give them enough experience, and they are the kind of people who really suffer and endure their hearts and endure... After decades, the children at home have become incompetent waste, and they will not regret it to death!
The master and apprentice were not in high spirits, so they returned to the ground, rested for a while, and then got together again.
"The case is obvious. It was the man below who was acting like a fool in the name of Yan Jidao. He was deceived... but it's not clear now, who was plotting against him and what purpose it was."
Zhang Dun said, took out several letters from his arms and gave them to Wang Ning'an.
"Master, this was found by someone from Yan Jidao's residence. Many of them were correspondence with Zheng Xia. Please check it out."
Wang Ningan frowned slightly, "Isn't Zheng Xia the initiator of Donglin Academy?"
Could it be that this matter has something to do with the powerful in the southeast? How could Yan Jidao get involved with Zheng Xia?
Wang Ning'an opened several letters and browsed them quickly. After reading them, his face changed color... Although Yan Jidao is Yan Shu's son, this kid's insights and opinions are completely different from Liuyi.
For example, one of the letters was that after the abolition of Yan Shenggong, Yan Jidao complained loudly, denounced the court to act recklessly, and even scolded Wang Ning'an in addition to his words.
In addition, the court released important officials from outside, moved to powerful people, and sent royal families out of town... Yan Jidao also couldn't stand all the actions. He and Zheng Xia sang and reconciled, and both sides were quite in line with their tempers!
"snort!"
Zhang Dun slammed the table in anger, "Master, if we had known Yan Jidao's virtue, we shouldn't have been in charge. Let him die!"
Wang Ning'an waved his hand, "Just discussing the matter, these letters have little to do with this case."
Zhang Dun suddenly whispered: "Master, do you think Yan Jidao will deliberately cause trouble and obstruct the land acquisition?" After that, Zhang Dun also laughed. If this is true, Yan Jidao would be too stupid to spend all his money and life, and he would not be able to pretend that way.
Maybe this guy was really used by someone else.
"Have you checked, whose land you want to seize? Or who are you involved?" Wang Ning'an asked thoughtfully. Since there was no useful evidence from Yan Jidao, it would be better to change your thinking.
In history, such things cannot escape the iron rule that whoever benefits will take action.
Zhang Dun hurriedly said, "I have just returned a few days ago, so I'll go check now." Zhang Dun hurriedly went down, and Wang Ning'an ordered that all relevant personnel in the government office be detained from top to bottom, especially those involved in the field collection, not to be left behind.
In addition, Wang Ning'an sent a few capable subordinates to the village where land acquisition caused human deaths to investigate the situation and understand the truth.
Several groups of people were sent down and sent them one after another.
Zhang Dun came first to report.
"Master, although the villages that were expropriated belong to different people, more than one-third belong to one family."
"Who's home?"
"Chai Family!"
"What?"
Wang Ning'an frowned, "Chai Family?"
"Yes." Zhang Dun said: "He is the descendant of Chai Rong, the Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou."
Wang Ning'an suddenly laughed, "Zihou, aren't you kidding? Do you have descendants in the Chai family?"
As we all know, Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne of the Chai family, but Zhao Darenyi once established a ancestral teaching to ask later emperors to treat the Chai family well, and never harm them unless they rebelled. He even gave him a elixir certificate... The story is beautiful, but it is not the case at all.
Chai Rong's four sons, the oldest, only lived to be 20 years old, and they all died in a daze. It can be said that Chai Rong, the most wise king of the Five Dynasties, was the last emperor.
"Master, although Chai Rong's direct descendants are gone, decades ago, the late emperor searched for each house of the Chai family, chose the oldest lineage, inherited the Chai family's incense, and was granted the title of Duke of Zheng!"
Wang Ning'an frowned as soon as he heard this. It was Uncle Zhao again!
For a while, Uncle Zhao was keen on doing these boring things to win people's hearts. This is the case with the Kong family and the Chai family... It is simply causing trouble for future generations and causing trouble!
"Zihou, the Chai family is very powerful?"
"It's not just huge, it's as big as the sky!"
Zhang Dun introduced the situation to Wang Ning'an. Since the Chai family was re-encrypted, they quickly restored the foyer to prosperity. Chai Rong started out as a businessman, and his descendants also had some talent for business. The Chai family has descendants doing business in Fangzhou, Jinling, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places. It is said that they are rich enough to compete with the country and have amazing financial resources.
"absurd!"
Wang Ning'an became even more angry, "What's going on? Didn't there be an order to move the powerful people before? Isn't the Chai family strong enough? Why didn't they move away and let them make trouble?"
Zhang Dun said helplessly: "Master, the situation of the Chai family is too special. They have hereditary titles and are not ordinary merchants. But they are not from the imperial royal family. With the great master's Hades, who dares to touch the Chai family?"
Wang Ning'an snorted, "After all, it's better to avoid the important things. The so-called migration of powerful people in Jiangnan, and the equal sharing of the land has not been implemented at all!"
Zhang Dun immediately raised his thumbs up, "Master really hit the nail on the head! Should I take the Chai family immediately?" When talking about the cheating man, Zhang Dun's eyes were shining. This guy didn't have to pretend, he was just a treacherous and cruel official.
Wang Ning'an chuckled twice, "Since he has the Taizu's Holy Tribute, it is natural that he is not easy to attack directly... But if there is evidence of guilt, let alone the side house of the Chai family, even if they are descendants of the direct descendants, they will be arrested!"
