On the ninth day of February, Du Ruhui was recalled by Yang Ming.
Although he has returned, his retainers are still checking the fields in Baling, which does not affect the progress.
Yang Ming felt that this matter should not be rushed, after all, it involved too much, and it should be investigated step by step and slowly.
In the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion, Yuan Wendu, Pang Ben, Du Ruhui, and Pei Xizai were all there, discussing matters with Yang Ming.
These four people are Yang Ming's current basic team. So many government affairs of the General Manager's Office are currently burdened on the four of them.
"Ru Hui and Xizai, there is no need to leave the General Manager's Mansion for the time being. The affairs here are complicated and all need to be handled by you. The following matters can be left to trustworthy and capable people," Yang Ming said.
The administrative scope of Hucao and Facao covers the entire Jingzhou. It is impossible for Yang Ming to let them go for a long time. Otherwise, everything will fall on Yuan Wendu, and it will inevitably be stretched.
As for Pang Ben, he is the commander-in-chief of the palace, so it is inappropriate for him to always stay in the palace as the head of security.
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "The matter of inventorying the land should be done slowly rather than urgently. It really needs to be considered in the long term."
"We need more manpower," Pei Xizai said.
Pang Ben asked: "What is the approximate size of the school inspection guards?"
These people are targeting aristocratic families, not common people, so Yang Ming is not worried about how big a trap they will create.
Recruiting a school inspection guard is not a simple matter. The reason why Yang Ming handed it over to Pang Ben was of course because he was qualified for the job.
So Yang Ming turned his attention to Pei Xizai, who was in charge of the Dacao, and said:
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Of course it is. This matter needs to be done quickly. You take people to various places as soon as possible, select school guards, and make special clothes. Don't let them wear armor, just wear some simple weapons."
If things go well, Yang Ming will recognize them; if things go badly, Yang Ming will not recognize them.
Because of this inventory, the total number of acres in each state and county is only one of them, the most important number of acres is that of aristocratic families.
"In the future, all cases reported by the school inspector must be carefully reviewed and no mistakes can be made. These people will do whatever they want, so you should keep a close eye on them."
A few days later, Yang Ming received a letter from Yang Xuangan. Zhu Guo had received the account. The letter contained some words of gratitude and said that if there is anything useful, just speak up.
Pang Ben was worried that he had nothing to do after arriving in Jingzhou. Now it was better. Yang Ming arranged a big event for him.
If the land is granted to a young man in that year, then the tax will be paid in that year. If it is evenly distributed to the people who have been granted the land, there will be no new tax, because they pay the tax based on the head, not the number of acres.
But he doesn't think so now, because Yang Ming wants to do big things, and if he doesn't satisfy him, he will probably be replaced.
"Your Highness is a true god," Du Ruhui couldn't help but admired: "The disadvantage of this method lies in this. The scoundrels, who do not understand the legal system, will definitely make up the number to fill the task amount. Pei Facao will have to work hard. Once there is an inspection The school guard did this and must be dealt with severely."
Du Ruhui said: "Each person has three guans per month, and they will be distributed every other month."
"It's best to kill him," Du Ruhui agreed.
"That's very good," Yuan Wendu said: "If there are only a few school inspectors in a county, the salary can be increased appropriately. How much does Your Highness think it should be?"
"I understand, I understand," Pang Ben nodded.
If you are able to serve Dugu Jialuo, it is not enough to just cater to your superiors. You must also have strong ability to lead your subordinates.
Inventorying the land cannot be done by literati. They cannot do it. This kind of thing cannot be done with words.
Yang Ming is unwilling to make his own decisions. His position is to make decisions:
"What do you think?"
Hearing that this battle was still going on, Yang Su was determined to defeat Bujia Khan. Changsun Sheng, on his side, was also working with Qimin Khan Rangan to continuously conquer Bujia's defeated tribes.
You have to be courageous and you have to be ruthless.
Without new sources of revenue, the Governor's Office will not be able to cover these expenses for long.
"Wonderful!" Pei Xizai exclaimed: "So, the school inspection guard is just temporary?"
Pang Ben originally thought that he must be Yang Ming's absolute confidant. After all, they had known each other since Yang Ming was very young.
Yuan Wendu understood what Yang Ming meant and knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he said:
"If all the twenty-two places in Jingzhou send school guards, I'm afraid a large number of manpower will be needed."
It is indeed quite a lot, three thousand dollars, that is three thousand dollars, and Jingzhou has a total of 122 counties, which is indeed a huge expense.
Du Ruhui said: "This point must be adapted to local conditions. I think there should be no more than five people in a county, and it must be hinted that they can recruit people appropriately. We, the General Manager's Office, will not recognize these people, and we can clean them up if they make trouble."
The main purpose of the Sui Dynasty's northern attack on the Turks was to support Qimin's rise to power, because Qimin Khan was the orthodox member of the Eastern Turkic royal family and was recognized by all tribes.
Prior to this, Yang Ming had received a letter from Fang Xuanling. Although Li Jing won the battle, he suffered a lot of casualties. Now he has led his troops back to Shuozhou for rest and recuperation.
"It doesn't take much," Du Ruhui said with a smile: "His Highness has a profound intention in choosing local gangsters as the school guards. These people have gang connections in the local area. Just choose their leaders to be the school guards, and the following will naturally follow. There is a group of accomplices who help and follow him. This kind of person is naturally domineering. Once he is given an official background, he will dare to do anything."
This timing is very interesting. It happened to be that Yang Su was on the front line to defeat the Turks. Yang Ming was counting this time to give Yang Xuangan the honor he sought.
Du Ruhui, who was only sixteen years old, smiled calmly:
"Of course they can't eat for free, they have to work. We can set tasks for them. They need to check the number of problem acres every month and the total amount for the year. In this way, a large number of acres will be returned to the public, and we only need to check these acres. We can grant land to young men who have just grown up, and obtain new taxes, so as to make up for the deficit of the general manager's office."
Over there, Yuan Wendu and Pang Ben, the two old men who had followed Yang Ming to Jingzhou from Daxing, looked at each other subconsciously.
In the year they came to Jingzhou, their impressions of Yang Ming had undergone earth-shaking changes. The subversion was as great as the distance between Daxing and Jingzhou.
The school inspection guards were just a new team created by Yang Ming on the spur of the moment.
"I will never dare to make a mistake, and I must try every case carefully," Pei Xizai nodded.
First, the new taxes must be included in the national treasury. It is inappropriate for Yang Ming to transfer them to the general manager's office without permission. However, this can be avoided by changing the time of land grant. If the land is granted this year, I will file it next year. So this year's new tax will be recorded. Taxes will not come into the account.
After Dulan's death, the various Eastern Turkic tribes were gradually brought together by Bujia Khan.
Yuan Wendu was suddenly enlightened, and he couldn't help but marvel at Yang Ming's thorough consideration and the prince's good teaching. At such a young age, he was already able to control a party with ease.
The local ruffians are undoubtedly very difficult to manage. Fortunately, when Pang Ben was in the palace, he was in charge of a group of Guanzhong disciples. If this group of disciples were placed in a place other than the palace, they would be no different from the local ruffians.
This trick is indeed wonderful, but it also has two drawbacks:
That's why Yuan Wendu was surprised and said: "Where does the money come from? Such a large expenditure suddenly increased, and the account cannot afford it."
Du Ruhui said: "Many of these people rely on local aristocratic families, and they are used to being bullied by the aristocratic families. If they are classified as school guards, they will be affiliated to the general management office. Once they fall out with the aristocratic families, they will be ruthless and ruthless. So I think the salary should be high enough to make them think that they can escape the control of the family."
Bujia Khan was originally the Western Turkic Khan, and the Eastern Turkic Khan was originally Dulan Khan, the elder brother of Qimin Khan Ranqian. The two brothers fell into Changsun Sheng's plan to alienate each other, and turned against each other, so that Dulan could not The Khan killed all the wives, sons and daughters of Qimin Khan, who had no choice but to lead his tribe to surrender to the Sui Dynasty.
"No need to be serious," Yang Ming said: "Kill him directly, so as to serve as a warning."
Yang Ming did not give him an answer, but said: "Let's discuss it."
It's good now, the favor belongs to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming nodded: "So I plan to temporarily form a team. The members of this team will be selected from rogues and ruffians from all over the country. They will mainly participate in the investigation of fields. They will be temporarily named school guards, after The purpose of inspection and correction shall be reported to Commander-in-Chief Pang Ben, and you will be divided among them to make up for the shortage of manpower."
These people have no establishment and are temporarily classified as subordinates of the general manager's office. They do not need to report for the record, which is equivalent to doing things below under the banner of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming then stood up and said to everyone: "You can discuss the specific arrangement more carefully. It must be thorough and rigorous."
In administering justice, one must kill people, and killing people will offend others. Pei Xizai knew very well that he had a heavy responsibility and a huge risk.
In fact, the school inspectors are a knife in Yang Ming's hand that can be thrown away at any time. They are responsible for the abuse, and Yang Ming is responsible for the good deeds.
Some things must be done by ruffians, because these people are uneducated and will not reason with you.
When Yang Ming knew that there were a lot of false reports on the total amount of land in Jingzhou, he decided to take action against the aristocratic family. Otherwise, if things went on like this, the people of Jingzhou would be in chaos.
In the eighteenth year of the founding of the Emperor, Dulan fought a great battle with the Sui Dynasty. In this battle, Gao Jiong, Yang Su, Shi Wansui, and Han Sengshou all participated in the Sui Dynasty and defeated the Turks. Dulan was also killed by his subordinates. Killed.
"How much should it be?" Pei Xizai asked curiously.
"Yes," everyone stood up and sent Yang Ming off respectfully.
Chang Sun Sheng's "diplomacy at a distance, attack at a close distance, separate from the strong and combine with the weak" has always been the basic national policy of the Sui Dynasty to deal with the serious troubles in the north.
Yang Ming nodded: "Of course it's temporary. Is it possible that this king will raise a bunch of ruffians for the rest of his life?"
Secondly, once a gangster like the school inspector is given a task, the other party will do whatever it takes, and there is likely to be a large number of unjust, false, and wrongful convictions. It is up to Pei Xizai to find a solution in this regard.
He, who had always been too lazy to use his brain, had no choice but to use his brain:
"This gang of local ruffians will be carefully selected and restrained for their humble positions. Whoever dares to be a thorn in the side or who dares to be disobedient will be the first to behead him."
This man is not of high rank, but he is a true great weapon of the country.
Her daughter, Changsun, was born just last year. In total, she is twelve years younger than Yang Ming.
In Fang Xuanling's letter, he detailed that the taxes on Hedong last year were relatively normal, with a considerable balance. After all, Li Jing won the battle this year, so the shortfall to exempt soldiers from taxes was due this year.
Only when you win the battle will you be exempted from taxes. If you lose the battle, you will not be exempted from taxes. Tax exemption is a reward. If you lose, I will reward you with nothing.
