Ju Ming only arranged for a few people personally and took care of the rest slowly. Even Li Gang didn't get a job.
The entire city of Tokyo is temporarily under military control, with the prefect and two county magistrates co-managing civil affairs. The two new county magistrates were promoted from military clerks.
Normally this should not be the case. A large number of old ministers must be retained to win people's hearts.
But Ju Ming doesn’t want to use these guys at all. It’s already very difficult to pick a few out of the shit!
For example, after the meeting, Li Bangyan came to recommend his cronies: "Marshal, Wang Xiaodi, the Vice Minister of Zhongshu (Deputy Prime Minister), is quite knowledgeable and talented. Before the rebel army entered the city, he also helped build momentum and persuaded the guards of Jingling Palace to expel the rebels.
, to ensure the safety of the Kaifeng government office and the provincial government office."
"Wang Xiaodi, right? I've written it down," Zhu Ming nodded slightly, "Write down all the names of those who work with you, and list their achievements."
"Yes!" Li Bangyan was overjoyed.
A moment later, Zhu Ming looked at the list and felt in his heart that Li Bangyan was indeed a capable minister.
It’s not easy to gather so many insects under your command!
What did the Wang Xiaodi he recommended do in history?
They specifically ransacked the homes of the Jin people to give money to the Jin people. Regardless of whether they were powerful or common people, as long as they had money, they would confiscate all their homes. They also threatened the people that if they didn't do this, the Jin people would kill all the men, kidnap all the women, and burn all the palaces in Tokyo.
Take all the gold and silver."
Personal name, Sijinzhongshu.
Unfortunately, this thing could still have a happy ending. He was just dismissed from office by Zhao Gou and thrown into Luoyang to promote Taoism.
Li Bangyan made great contributions to the capture of Tokyo. Since it was recommended by him, he should naturally "reuse" all of them. When Zhu Guoxiang comes with the administrative team, Chen Dong can do whatever he wants. From time to time, he will catch a few and behead them, so as to show his determination to fight corruption.
.
Seeing Ju Ming circle the names with his own hands, Li Bangyan became more and more proud, thinking that his team was already stable.
"You go ahead." Zhu Ming waved.
Li Bangyan bowed and left, and when he stepped out of the door, he waved his hands to the people outside the hall.
Qin Hui had been waiting outside the palace. When he saw Li Bangyan, he immediately greeted him, and the two of them drove away in the same car.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li," Qin Hui said.
Li Bangyan said: "We are happy together."
Qin Hui said: "I have been ordered to promote the Xicheng Office. The original officials are all Li Yan's confidants, so they must not be used anymore. The manpower is really insufficient, so I would like to ask Prime Minister Li to recommend one or two talented people."
Li Bangyan helped Qin Hui put in good words in Mingtang, and Qin Hui naturally reciprocated and helped arrange his duties.
Of course, Qin Hui was not a fool and knew what kind of people Li Bangyan had. The first job he received under Ju Ming could not be ruined by a group of drunkards.
Qin Hui knew very well who could work and who should rest.
As for taking the opportunity to make a few small sums of money during work, this has long been an unspoken rule of the officialdom, and Qin Hui didn't take it to heart at all. He thought he had a good relationship with Ju Ming. As long as the general direction was OK and the greed was not too ruthless, it would definitely be
It won't be pursued.
If everything is done according to the rules, nothing will happen.
There are three methods of expropriation in Xicheng: first, let local officials collect it on their behalf; second, set up a dispatched agency to expropriate; third, plunder a large amount of land to create Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang.
The first two methods can be directly banned. There is no need to deal with it deliberately. The landowner will automatically get the land back.
What Qin Hui needs to deal with is Huangzhuang, Guanzhuang, and even the private estates of Li Yan and others. He must cooperate with the local government and try to find the original landowners. If he cannot find them, he will directly resettle the refugees, or simply allocate the land to tenants.
Huge operating space!
Although Qin Hui was not deeply involved in the court struggles in the past few months, he was still baptized in his thoughts.
Qin Hui deeply understands that if you want to do things, you must have power, if you want to have power, you must have people, and if you want people, you must form gangs and share benefits.
Joining forces with Li Bangyan, who is favored by Ju Ming, is only the first step in Qin Hui's struggle. If Li Bangyan commits a crime in the future, Qin Hui will definitely cut off the relationship immediately. He does not believe that Li Bangyan can last long.
Qin Hui has now established a new ambition, that is, to be a famous founding official in the new dynasty and create a family of officials that will benefit future generations!
…
Mingtang.
Ye Mengde led a young man in: "Marshal, this is my brother-in-law Xu Kangzong."
Zhu Ming nodded in approval: "You have a lot of grace and talent."
Although the Ye family has been a prominent official for generations, most of them are upright officials and they really haven't done much to save their property.
Even if Fang La didn't burn down his shop, Ye Mengde would still be in a miserable state.
Ten years ago, his sister married Xu Kangzong. Due to the folk custom of advocating generous marriages, Ye Mengde could not even collect the dowry. After selling off his land and shops, he borrowed three thousand guan and borrowed his wife's dowry.
After hooking up with each other, he married off his little girl in a glorious way.
Ye Mengde introduced: "Marshal, my brother-in-law is not only beautiful in manners and good at poetry, but also has outstanding political achievements when he was a local official. When he was the prefect of Yingchang, he built water conservancy projects and provided relief to the victims. He was demoted because he obstructed Yang Jian from conquering the fields.
"
"The people of Yingchang are so lucky." Zhu Ming sighed.
Yingchang Prefecture had several magistrates in succession, and they were determined not to implement the orders of Yang Jian and Li Yan. The first one was demoted, and the next one continued. Anyway, they were going to confront the eunuchs.
It's a pity that the Yingchang Mansion was still in dire straits for the people, and the only ones who were able to hold office for a long time were corrupt officials after all.
By the way, Ye Mengde and Xu Kangzong were once members of Cai Jing's party, and they were considered two oddballs in Cai Jing's party.
"When the Generalissimo captured Kaifeng, the most serious problem was not in the southeast, but the Jin people in the north." Xu Kangzong held out a record. "This is the "Envoy Jin's Journey" written by me. I would like the Generalissimo to read it."
The full name of this document is "Records of the Journey of Xuanhe Yisi as Envoy to the Kingdom of Jin", which was written by Xu Kangzong when he was ordered to congratulate Wu Qimai on his succession to the throne.
It only took more than two months for him to return from the Kingdom of Jin, before the Jin people sent troops to the south.
Xu Kangzong repeatedly appealed to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to rectify the border affairs, and the Jin people were already transferring military supplies. The result was: "Walking about border troubles will lead to a flow of three thousand miles and a fine of three thousand min, and it will not be reduced by amnesty."
.However, if you have done meritorious service on your mission and safeguarded the state, your merits and demerits will be offset and you will not be promoted!"
Zhu Ming carefully read through this itinerary and found out what Xu Kangzong had seen and heard along the way.
The description of Yanjing is: "This year (last year), there was a great famine in Yanshan, and the parents ate their children. There were corpses with paper inserted in the market and sold for food. The money, grain, gold and silk were given to the ever-victorious army, and all the teeth and soldiers were bones.
Standing, seventeen or eighty of the garrison soldiers died of starvation. The superiors and inferiors were shielded from each other, and the superiors could not hear or know..."
Zhu Ming read that paragraph: "When Wang Anzhong was the prefect of Yanshan, did he really get greedy for 400,000 yuan?"
Xu Kangzong said: "Everyone in the North knows about this, and it must be more than 400,000 guan. The 400,000 guan written below are the supplies and military expenses that were transported to Yanshan early last year. Wang Anzhong didn't even spend a penny.
Because of this, Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi had a complete falling out. Guo Yaoshi sent troops to rob hundreds of thousands of grains of rice sent by the court. In the end, Wang Anzhong was recalled and Cai Jing was replaced as the prefect, and Guo Yaoshi agreed to give out some of the grain.
Relieve the people."
This record is mostly true.
Because when Xu Kangzong wrote these contents, Song Huizong was still emperor in Tokyo. Every sentence in it slaps Zhao Ji, Cai You, Tong Guan and others in the face. There is no need for him to lie and ask for trouble.
It was precisely because Xu Kangzong slapped the face of a foolish emperor and a traitorous minister, and when he was sent to the Kingdom of Jin, he used his sharp tongue to make the Jin people speechless, so he was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile without pardon, and finally relied on merit.
Only by offsetting the penalty can you avoid punishment.
Ju Ming immediately issued an order: "Capture Wang Anzhong and interrogate him strictly. If the charges are true, he will be executed. His family members and children will be exiled to the barbarian lands in southern Sichuan. His family property will be confiscated to provide military funds."
This order even spells out the punishment, so why does it still need to be interrogated?
The bad thing about Wang Anzhong was not the amount of corruption, but the fact that he put the life-saving money into his own pocket, but did not use it to buy food relief in Xiongzhou and other places, causing countless soldiers and civilians in Youzhou to starve to death.
Xu Kangzong added: "I heard that Pharmacist Guo voted for the marshal. This beast will become rampant when it succeeds. It must not be reused!"
"You don't need to say anything about the military affairs. I have my own arrangements." Zhu Ming said.
"Yes!" Xu Kangzong bowed and bowed.
Ju Ming continued to look down: "There are only a dozen households left in Yingzhou City?"
Xu Kangzong said: "Yingzhou suffered from many wars and famines. When I passed by there, there were only a dozen poor families left in the city, and bones could be seen on the streets."
Yingzhou in the Song Dynasty was located in Changli, Hebei Province, which was also considered a large state in the Liao Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the population of the city was less than a hundred.
Ju Ming sighed and continued reading.
One section of the content is very interesting. There is a place called Tuosubo Chanzhai in Huanglong Prefecture. Bohai, Tieli, Tuhun, Goryeo, Mohe, Jurchen, Khitan, Uighur, Xiren, Dangxiang... all ethnic groups from all over the world.
Miscellaneous. The different ethnic groups do not understand each other's languages. When they get together, they can only communicate in Chinese.
The article is all about what Xu Kangzong saw and heard, and also describes many customs and etiquette of the Jin people, as well as the cities, passes, fortresses, etc. along the way.
However, there are not many involved in the politics of the Jin Kingdom. It is estimated that the time of the mission was short, and Xu Kangzong did not know clearly.
After Zhu Ming read the entire text, he suddenly asked: "Where is Ma Kuo?"
Xu Kangzong said: "Ma Kuo went north to recruit troops to serve the king, but he has not returned yet. Maybe there was an accident."
Ma Kuo went to Liao and Jin as envoys all the year round, and he had a deeper understanding of the north. His life was quite legendary.
He was captured several times and imprisoned several times.
Because of his good relationship with the Jin people, he was allowed to open a restaurant and start a business in the Jin country after rejecting the official position in the Jin country.
The restaurant was running well, and he fled back to Hebei to participate in the anti-golden war, and was elected as the general leader of the rebel armies in Shanxi and Hebei. After being defeated, he fled back to the Southern Song Dynasty and resigned and reinstated many times. Finally, he was deposed by Qin Hui until his death.
Whenever envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came to the Southern Song Dynasty, the first thing they asked was where Ma Kuo was, and then they took Ma Kuo to drink and reminisce about the past.
Ju Ming regretted that he did not see Ma Kuo when he captured Kaifeng.
Although he was familiar with the history of the Jin Kingdom, he was only familiar with the general direction, and he had to be someone like Ma Kuo who knew the details.
Zhu Ming said to Xu Kangzong: "You will stay in the Grand Marshal's Mansion to work."
"Thank you Marshal for your support!"
Xu Kangzong said excitedly: "On the day of the Marshal's Northern Expedition, I will accompany the army as your guide!"
