Chapter 602: Perfect Partner
All counties and counties in Jingzhou have begun to work hard to prevent and control the plague.
Looking at the states and counties, there are very few, or even none, who can put plague first in all military and political affairs, like the supervisors of Jingzhou.
In recent years, wars have occurred everywhere. Due to large numbers of dead people and untimely disposal of human corpses in various places, a large-scale plague is not new to all states and regions.
But no princes could have the ability of the Liu family in Shanyang to treat the plague with such an attitude of importance.
The resources of Jingzhou military farming have accumulated for several years, and most of them have been used because of this plague.
But just as Liu Qi guessed, large-scale disaster relief will inevitably lead to local families and county officials starting to take advantage of the opportunity to fill their pockets... This is inevitable, because human nature is like this.
In this epidemic relief, Man Chong became a sharp sword for Liu Qi and began to slash these cancers with a knife for Liu Qi.
...
In the study, the report about Man Chong's actions in Jiangxia was sent to Liu Qi's room early this morning.
Facing the mountain of bamboo slips, Liu Qi read them for a whole morning but couldn't finish them.
I have to say that he is so brave.
With Xiling City as the center, Man Chong defeated seven local big families as soon as he entered the battle. The reason for defeating them was nothing more than the relatives of their clan working in Jiangxia counties and taking advantage of disaster relief to enrich themselves.
Therefore, most of these in-service officials were taken down for inspection.
But tough measures will inevitably cause strong resistance from the officials of these county and county bureaus, and the families behind them will also begin to cause trouble.
In the Han Dynasty, the reason why families in various places dared to be so arrogant was because they had land and stored grain, and land and stored grain meant that they had attached households and hidden populations. These were their private armed forces. Therefore, when facing these tough armed forces, the county government had to compromise with them.
Even if Man Chong is supplemented by the 5,000 rebels commanded by Xu Rong and Gan Ning, if a large-scale bloody suppression is adopted, it will easily cause aggravation, and the other hand, they may not be able to overcome each other.
But Man Chong is a hardliner and his eyes are also very vicious.
He knew that if he blindly took tough measures in normal times, he would not be able to deal with these strong clans who had been preserved for many years, because this was the operating characteristics of this dynasty organization.
Because he didn't support.
But now this is a different critical moment, and this is a period of disaster relief.
When Man Chong left Xiangyang and was ordered to go to the local capital, Liu Qi wrote a Jianmudu to him, which contained four words written by him.
‘Sales for grain use’
These four words are the killer weapon that Man Chong has signs of resistance against counties.
Man Chong first withdrew from the seven powerful clans centered on Xiling to get their positions as officials during disaster relief, imprisoned them, and took his subordinates to collect evidence everywhere, and detained these people.
Man Chong's behavior directly angered the strong clan behind these officials. The strong men who were entangled with their subordinates were at least ten thousand people, and wanted to use force to make Man Chong compromise.
In the face of this armed threat, Man Feng was neither humble nor arrogant.
The Jiangxia commander Su Fei is a local clan, so he naturally cannot do anything. There is a conflict between the governors and local strong clans in Xiangyang, so he personally went out to talk about Man Chong.
At the same time, the county magistrate Fa Zheng also went to see Man Chong with Su Fei.
The two of them had lost half a pound of Tsushixingzi, and then convinced Man Chong and sent the officials who were imprisoned by him back to the clans to show their sincerity.
Such a "showing weakness" action made many powerful leaders of Xiling extremely satisfied. It seems that Man Boning did not know the personnel and knew the rules between the government office and the local government.
Then, Fa Zheng, the governor of Xiling County, stepped forward to become a peacemaker again.
He set up a banquet at the inn in Xiling City, invited the seven clan leaders, important figures in the clan, as well as officials who were imprisoned for free money... and made an appointment with Man Chong, and everyone had a "Hetou wine" together.
The imprisoned officials were released, and the patriarchs of the seven major families were unwilling to have a quarrel with the Xiangyang government office, so they all arrived.
What Fa Zheng was thinking about was the current situation. Wei Yan and his foundation were unstable, especially Huang Zu was taken down, which had angered the Huang family of Jiangxia. If this matter was offending the tribes, the Jiangxia County Magistrate Wei Yan and Jiangxia County Magistrate Wei Yan would have almost finished the end.
But Man Chong doesn't think so.
Since he let go of those "greedy" people, he has been watching coldly.
Fa Zheng gathered these people together, which was considered to be full of favor.
On the day of the banquet, after Man Chong arrived, he directly ordered his subordinates to divide the evidence of the seven clans of greed and placing them in front of them at the banquet.
More slaps in the face.
They didn't even give them time to react, and Man Chong made a quick decision and ordered people to take down the people of the seven clans!
Fa Zheng was stunned, but there was nothing he could do.
Immediately afterwards, Man Chong posted a notice outside Xiling City, all the seven tribes colluded with officials in their clans, and the officials and tycoons colluded with each other to exchange small huh for large huh, and use dry grass as food and fodder to exchange disaster relief food and fodder, and spread these widely among the people.
The final result is that the grain stored by the seven families should be used for disaster relief!
In every feudal dynasty, the group of people at the bottom was the largest, and in the Han Dynasty they could not resist because the government office and local tyrants achieved political and economic interests and suppressed them. At the same time, the land policy made them divided into households among the strong tribes, and they did not have the unity, so they dared not resist in the face of the general trend.
But this time, they dared to resist.
Because the disaster affected their life.
Faced with life and death, the victims will no longer have any scruples.
Man Chong has already disguised the 5,000 people as disaster victims and mixed with these Guizhou leaders. They fanned the flames and incited the victims, so that they could go to warehouses of various ethnic groups to obtain grain through the command of the inspectors of the inspectors of the inspectors... to collect grain!
There are more than 10,000 strong men from the seven strong families. If they gather together again, there will be even more. With the 5,000 people who are full of favors, it is difficult to deal with...
But when tens of thousands of victims are watching them, the effect is naturally different.
Man Chong cannot face the powerful and powerful households head-on, but they can incite disaster victims and gather more armed forces.
Under the crazy division of the victims and the imprisonment of the leaders of the seven clans by Man Chong, the power of these seven strong clans plummeted. The land they held in Jiangxia was taken over to the Shaofu and re-leased and transferred again by Jingzhou.
This time, a huge storm caused in the entire Xiling City, and the big thing almost shocked the entire Jingchu.
Fa Zheng was so angry that he was so angry that he immediately wrote a letter asking Liu Qi to deal with Man Chong heavily.
At the same time, letters impeached Man Chong by officials from all over the country flew to Xiangyang like snowflakes.
"This is the resistance to change." Liu Qi sighed: "Even if there is real evidence, they still cannot tolerate the rule of justice. This is the current situation of this era... It makes people feel disgusting."
Liu Qi sneered and threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the table: "My father used to be too kind to them, and they would not understand if they didn't kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
"Come."
"exist."
"Take all these things out and burn them all, and I'm so upset."
"promise."
After these people left, Liu Qi wrote a letter himself and sent someone to Man Chong to deliver it.
The content is nothing more than telling him to do it well, keep doing it, and not break it, and not establish it...
If there is no war or plague, I will not be able to cure these cancerous races. However, now, plague relief affects the survival of millions of people in my jurisdiction. In this situation that is enough to threaten my own lives, the people of Guizhou in my jurisdiction will be forced to resist by the environment and dare to resist. In order to survive, the victims will not remain silent. They will dare to break the status quo and help themselves eliminate those who dare to stop their survival.
In this regard, Liu Qi feels that his current actions are somewhat similar to Zhang Jiao, but his perspective is different from Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao uses the lower class to overthrow the Eastern Han court... and now he represents the orthodox court of the court. The victims are on the same line as him, which is equivalent to maintaining the rule of the government.
Since ancient times, behind such chaos as wars and plagues, there will inevitably be a reshuffle of politics and economy.
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and the fragrance of rice porridge reached Liu Qi's nose.
"Is it time to have a meal?" Liu Qi was still looking at the bamboo slips, and said without looking back: "Put it on the table."
The visitor put the rice porridge on the table, but did not leave.
Seeing this, Liu Qi frowned and looked up with anger.
But I saw that although the person who came had a little haggard face, he still couldn't hide his charm and his figure was still graceful.
"Sister?" Liu Qi said in surprise: "Why are you back?"
Cai Mao died. Cai Mi, as her second sister, has been in the Cai family for a while and has helped to handle the affairs at home, so she did not return to Liu Qi's mansion.
Moreover, the Cai family's sons are now fighting for the position of the head of the family. Cai Mi is a woman. Seeing her close relatives and secretly doing something shameful, she can't help but feel sad.
She sat beside Liu Qi, leaned her head on Liu Qi's shoulder, and said, "I miss you young man, so I'll come back and take a look..."
