Chapter 258: Sun Chuanting, this old man(1/2)
"It's so scary to kill someone and to have your heart tortured."
After listening to Gu Zi's words, Li Chaosheng joked that these bastards staying behind are not easy to deal with. If Sun Chuanting wants to touch him, even if he touches them, no, it should be the reverse scales of all Lantian people. Then
Sun Chuanting will have to pay the price for this, at least his reputation will be greatly reduced.
Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "Just do what they want, but our governor has dismissed me as county magistrate, so we have to make a gesture and inform them that I will be the magistrate of Lantian County."
Find the seal and hang it on the beam of the county government office."
"yes."
Gu Zi responded, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Commander, where is your big seal?"
Li Chaosheng frowned and said, "I can't remember. I haven't used the Lantian Magistrate's seal since I took office. All I have used is my private seal and the military seal of the army. I'll let Master Liu find it later."
Remember last year, Master Liu wrote a memorial and had it stamped with the seal of Lantian Magistrate? He should know where it is."
Li Chaosheng said, after hearing this Gu Zi said: "Master Liu is so old, he may not be able to remember."
Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this and said: "Don't underestimate the old man, he has a very good memory."
After speaking, Li Chaosheng smiled and asked Gu Zi to step back.
Gu Zi quickly conveyed Li Chaosheng's order.
The news was passed to Lantian. After everyone heard it, they all praised the general knowledge of the county, and then followed Li Chaosheng's plan.
It was late at night in Xi'an Mansion. Sun Chuanting was sitting in the room. The oil lamp was emitting a weak light. Sun Chuanting carefully checked the accounts of Xi'an Mansion. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the colder his body became.
Has Lantian become so big? Ninety percent of the taxes of Xi'an Prefecture are paid by Lantian, and Xi'an Prefecture also pays 70% of Shaanxi's taxes. From this point of view, the court can now see
Most of the taxes are provided by Lantian.
Needless to mention northern Shaanxi. Years of wars have turned people’s brains into dog brains. There is still pure land there and food can be grown there. There aren’t even many people in northern Shaanxi now, so the imperial court points to northern Shaanxi to pay taxes. It’s simply
It's just wishful thinking.
In the southern Shaanxi region, there have been droughts in recent years, crop production has been reduced, and taxes have been collected tightly. Very few counties can pay the full amount. The tax revenue of the entire southern Shaanxi combined is less than one-third of that of Xi'an Prefecture.
In the past few years, Liaodong has used troops, but the national taxation has not been reduced, and Shaanxi has not paid enough taxes from the beginning, and was reprimanded by His Majesty. Now it pays more and more taxes every year. If you are sitting in the center of the court now, you still think that Shaanxi's economy has recovered.
Where is it?
You must know that the current taxes in Shaanxi are equivalent to 80% of the previous ones. This is something the imperial court did not dare to think about before, but now the imperial court is very happy. In addition to feeding Hong Chengchou's army, the taxes in Shaanxi can also be transported to some countries to support others.
In some places, His Majesty repeatedly praised Sun Wangzu as a capable minister in the court.
Since he took office three years ago, Shaanxi's taxes have increased year by year and production has been restored, which is a great contribution. When he completes his term for another three years, he will be transferred to a local government and appointed as the chief envoy.
But now Sun Chuanting can see from the account books that since Sun Wangzu took office, it was the time when Lantian expanded rapidly, and it was the time when the surname Lan began to be slowly adopted around Xi'an.
Sun Chuanting took the account books and compared Sun Wangzu's three-year experience in taking office, and found that Sun Wangzu's resume was not good at the beginning when he arrived in Shaanxi, but he soon began to make achievements. The turning point for Sun Wangzu was an inspection in Lantian County. So what happened during this inspection?
Sun Chuanting was very confused.
…
At this time, in the room of the magistrate Sun Wangzu, Sun Wangzu's face was as dark as water. The housekeeper asked carefully: "Sir, are you still angry about the dismissal of Lantian County Magistrate?"
Sun Wangzu said with a dark face: "There is anger and concern about the future."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Sun Wangzu looked at the housekeeper and said: "You came to Xi'an with me to take up a post. When I first arrived in Xi'an, I was in a difficult situation. My orders could not even leave the city. There was smoke everywhere outside. I am nothing like a prefect."
"If I hadn't offended someone, I wouldn't have been framed and came to Xi'an Mansion. But as a result, I went to see Li Chaosheng that time. I will never forget the meeting in my life. The young man was dressed in Tsing Yi and sitting in their Lantian
He met me by the pavilion of the reservoir, and what did he say about the prosperity of Lam Tin?"
"I said, heaven in purgatory."
"He said, Lord Magistrate, you can imagine that Xi'an Prefecture is a paradise everywhere."
"I said, that's why I'm here."
"He said, Lord Magistrate, do you think you can do it?"
"I didn't answer. He said that if you give him three years, Xi'an Mansion will be a paradise on earth."
"I said, I am the prefect of Xi'an."
"He said my orders cannot leave Xi'an City."
"I said, what can I get from giving you three years?"
"He said, political achievement, a political achievement that satisfies all the princes in the court, and then I can be promoted with this political achievement."
"I agreed, and in exchange for the three-year examination, I got an excellent result. The imperial advisor told me that His Majesty praised me very much. In three years, I could be promoted to the position of Chief Envoy, and I would be able to seal the territory for a certain country.
Officer, this is my dream."
Sun Wangzu said this, his face as dark as ink: "But at this moment, this bullshit Sun Chuanting came. When he came here, he wanted to dig out my foundation and destroy my way forward. He hates me to death.
, how can I break up with him?"
The housekeeper looked at Sun Wangzu and said, "What do you want to do, Lord Magistrate?"
Sun Wangzu said: "I don't do anything. I want to wait for Lantian to finish. Sun Chuanting really thought that Lantian was a clay statue of Bodhisattva that would fall over as soon as he pushed it. He didn't know that there was a terrifying statue standing behind Lantian.
Big Buddha.”
When Sun Wangzu said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the housekeeper and said, "Has the news been passed on to Lan Tian?"
The steward said: "The local boss has been notified."
"Okay, Sun Chuanting, let me see how you end it."
…
"It's shocking, it's shocking. What kind of person is this Lantian Li Chaosheng? He actually committed such an act of cheating in Shaanxi. Now that the foundation has been laid, can I really shake him?"
Sun Chuanting looked at the accounts with a grimace. In peacetime, people like Li Chaosheng could be destroyed with a decree from the imperial court. However, now that Shaanxi is in chaos, the people in the world are in dire straits, and people's minds are changing. Li Chaosheng is as solid as a rock, and he wants to shake it.
Not an easy thing.
Gu Yi
However, I have been favored by Your Majesty to patrol Shaanxi, so I cannot watch this official grow bigger. If I can contain it, I must contain it. There is still a chance to contain it at this time. If I don't contain it at this time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance. I can only watch this officer.
Grow bigger and become a being a hundred times more terrifying than Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang.
"The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down."
Sun Chuanting said and sat up straight. I have been favored by the emperor and will never allow thieves to become big.
Sun Chuanting thought about standing up and looking at the vast darkness. If the darkness were torn apart, he would see the light.
…
"Well, just like that, send it out and let the people of Lantian know about it."
After a busy night, in the early morning of the next day, the Lantian Administrative Affairs Department, the Military Department, the Secretary Supervisor, and the three departments jointly formulated a message and passed it through special channels to all the areas currently under Lantian's control, asking the chief, middle chief, chief, and militia chief to
I got news that Sun Chuanting, the newly arrived governor of Shaanxi, had dismissed Li Chaosheng, the county magistrate, and was preparing to send a new county magistrate to take over the county magistrate's position.
After getting the news, the Dali Chief, the Middle Li Chief, and the Li Chief exploded. The militiamen even asked for orders to rush into Xi'an Prefecture to capture Sun Chuanting alive. However, the orders from the three departments were immediately followed, which was to pass the news out and let all the people know the news.
, let all the people know that Sun Chuanting, the new governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, dismissed his own county magistrate!
After receiving the order, the news was passed on at an extremely fast speed. Almost overnight, all the people in Lantian knew the news. Immediately afterwards, all Lantian fell into panic, the county magistrate was removed, and Lantian was to be replaced by a new magistrate!
boom!
This was like a bolt from the blue that spread around the people. Everyone exploded and went crazy. The people rushed to tell each other, followed by the panicked people who rushed out of their homes. Some people shouted: "It's not good, the new people are crazy."
The governor who came here dismissed our county official!"
This voice immediately caused everyone to open the courtyard door and shout: "What, what?"
At this time, the man repeated again: "The new governor has dismissed our county official!"
"I'm so sorry, where did this stupid official come from? He wants to remove the county magistrate. Without the county magistrate, would we be able to live like this?"
"No, we Lantian can't change the county magistrate. I won't agree to anyone who comes. I was about to starve to death at the time. It was the county magistrate who saved our lives. Otherwise, we would have died on the way to escape. It is only because of the county magistrate that we can survive."
The land we are cultivating today, if another bastard comes to the county magistrate, I will never agree to it until my death."
"That's right, no, haven't we seen the virtues of the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty? They only know how to raise taxes and make money. If a new magistrate is appointed, we will still be refugees, and we will starve to death in a few years.
Is Sun Chuanting going to change the county magistrate for us? He is trying to kill us!"
"Yes, Sun Chuanting is like a dog. I am her ancestor. I have just lived a human life. He wants me to go back and live like a dog. Why doesn't he die?"
"If you change the county magistrate, if you don't agree, let's go. Let's go to the district chief to judge. If the district chief doesn't care, go to the middle chief. If the middle chief doesn't care, let's go to the big chief!"
"Yes, go to the mayor. They are all promoted by the county magistrate. If they don't care about the magistrate, I will smash their heads."
"Hey, that's not right. The leader here is a good person. If you want to break it, you have to break Sun Chuanting's head."
"Yes, crush Sun Chuanting's head!"
"Break Sun Chuanting's forehead."
A group of people shouted, followed by someone in the crowd who said: "Everyone, Sun Chuanting is a governor sent by the imperial court. Cracking his head is a rebellion."
