In the end, it turned out that it used the Thousand-Character script as a replacement code, and each character was compared with a commonly used Chinese character. Gou Er should have carried a special Thousand-Character script with him as a decoding book.
"Can you decipher it?"
"Of course," Zhang Xingpei said confidently, "but there are a few prerequisites. We must have someone who is proficient in Chinese in the Ming Dynasty. We must know the language habits of people at that time, so that we can calculate the word frequency in a secret text; and we must have enough
The cipher text is for reference. The more cipher text there is, the easier it is to compare the frequency of word usage..."
"All the ciphertexts now are just these names." Mu Min said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"It's really difficult to do this." Zhang Xingpei's attitude suddenly became pessimistic. There was only a name and no coherent sentences, so it was impossible to check whether the deciphering was accurate through the semantics of the context.
"I'll try again," Zhang Xingpei said, "but I can't tell when the results will be available."
"Okay, come up with as many names as you can." Lin Baiguang had no choice but to do this.
However, based on the names they already knew and the information inferred from the contents of the documents, they mastered a batch of names in Lingao and successfully found out what they had done in collusion with Gou Dago Er. This information made Lin Baiguang very happy.
It’s exciting—it adds weight to their “Ming Pi Ao Heart” plan, which is about to start in the fall.
The so-called "Ming Pi Ao Xin" is to take advantage of the opportunity to collect the autumn tax, take the opportunity to infiltrate the county government, purge the lower-level officials, and replace them with their own people, thereby controlling the specific county administration. Completely destroy Wu Mingjin and others
Empty.
After gaining actual control over the county government, they then used the big name of the county government to carry out Chuan Chuan Group's policies openly - Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes, and Chuan Cao Group "used the county magistrate to order the people of the county."
, different scales, different reasons. This is the wishful thinking of the executive committee.
The gentleness towards the county government officials and the wooing of local intellectuals are paving the way for this plan, paralyzing the local people's resistance and reducing the number of groups that may cause confrontation.
But these are just carrots, and the necessary sticks must also be prepared. Producing "black materials" is also the most effective stick. It can not only make people stunned, but also make them infamous, which is more "shameful"
The social effects in ancient times were much more effective than those in modern time and space.
The Social Work Department of the General Administration of Political Security has been collecting black materials for several months. The sources of black materials are from many sources. Some are collected from local areas by social research teams, and some are learned from interrogations from prisoners. Naturally, the sources are also
There is no shortage of exposing materials secretly sent by anonymous people - many people put their hopes of revenge on the Time Travel Group.
There are also those who are not anonymous, such as Zhang Youfu, who has a low-level residence and is an expert at collecting dirty information. Apart from the two Gou brothers, he is the least clean person in the county, but he is extremely expert in informing. Let's negotiate.
During the meeting, he secretly sent several black materials about Liu Dalin to Xi Yazhou. These black materials were transferred from Xi Yazhou to the General Administration of Political Security. Ran Yao took a look and found that almost all of them were Liu Dalin's curse words about the Time Travel Group and his original remarks.
How he actively made plans to attack the Cross-Travel Group.
Then he provided a list of the gentry who had participated in the attack on the Crossing Group and their remarks and deeds. Although Ran Yao despised this person after reading it, he had to say that this person was a "talent". So Zhang Youfu
He became one of the guests of the Political Security Bureau.
Over the past few months, I have collected quite a lot of black material, ranging from colluding with bandits and pirates, forcing tenants to death, raping maids, stealing cattle for slaughter, removing ashes, seducing widows, all kinds of things are classified into categories.
There are really quite a few, Ran Yao files them all by name regardless of whether they are true or false.
The reason why Lin Baiguang is so interested in Gou Er's black account recovered this time is that in addition to wanting to know the Gou family's network in Qiongzhou Prefecture, his purpose is to increase the weight of the black material - can't the limelight just be taken by the Social Work Department?
.
Lin Baiguang reported the materials he had to Ran Yao. The next day, Xiong Buyou received an instruction: He was asked to go to the county government office immediately to handle something.
Xiong Buyou went to see Wang Zhaomin as usual. If the county magistrate wanted to do something, it was the fastest and most effective way to see his master, because officials had a lot to say and it was difficult to bargain specifically, so it was more convenient for the master to come forward.
Wang Zhaomin and others could stay away, but "Master Xiong" had to be seen, so he quickly ordered someone to come in. He murmured in his heart that this month's allowance had just been delivered, and this Master Xiong suddenly came to visit, and he didn't know why.
The matter is not serious, but the county government is required to issue an official document: announcing that Gou Dagou and his two gangs were linked to pirates, and "the pirates fought among themselves and the whole village was killed." This is not a difficult matter. Although the county government has not officially issued an official document, but internally
It has been dealt with in this way. Wang Zhaomin thought to himself that these thieves have understood the truth a little bit. They know that "the name is not just and the words are not right", so they must use the power of the Ming Dynasty Law Judge to rectify their name.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy. As long as you recognize the authority of the Ming government, since you want to use the two brands of Lingao County Government and Wu Mingjin, we can discuss the conditions. He still doesn't know the idea of the Crossing Group to replace it.
The second step was to ask the county government to issue a document on Guangdong Xuetai and expunge Gou Er's son Gou Chengxuan's honorary title as a student member for the same crime. At the same time, a sea arrest document was issued in the county to hunt down Gou Er and his son.
Wang Zhaomin pondered for a moment. These three things are not difficult to say. Except that the writing of Guangdong Xuedai is a little more troublesome - that is, it is just a little troublesome, and the Xuetai will definitely not be inaccurate. The other two things are even easier. But he
You have to think carefully about what kind of medicine this Australian is selling in his gourd.
He had heard someone say a few days ago that Australians suddenly came to Gou Er's house and made a lot of noise. Afterwards, when the government officials went to seal the door again, they found that the well in the backyard had been drained - it was Gou Er.
What is hidden in the well? Why else would Australians drain the wells?
Wang Zhaomin couldn't guess that they were almost one-way transparent to the Crossing Group now: Australians knew what was going on in the county, but he had no idea what the Australians were doing. Not to mention guessing their details.
That’s the intention. Wang Zhaomin came from an “academic background” and has a lot of knowledge, and he is even more proficient in officialdom. However, the Australian people’s academic system is completely different from his, and their ideas are also very different, which makes it difficult for him to speculate.
"It's easy." Wang Zhaomin agreed happily. One thing he knew very well was that Australians like to go straight to the point and just ask for anything. They hate insinuations. "Just issue an announcement and that's it. But Guangdong Learning
On the other side of the stage, there should be some decoration as usual."
"This is easy." Seeing that he was talking about money when he opened his mouth, Xiong Buyou secretly laughed in his heart. "How much does it cost?"
"Fifty taels is enough." Wang Zhaomin knew that this matter actually had little to do with Xuetai himself. It was handled by Xuetai's master. In addition to the fees for the book office below, forty taels of silver was enough. Fifteen taels.
It's his own benefit.
Of course, these ten taels are not for nothing. To remove a scholar's academic title was no small matter in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was more cautious than expulsion from the party today. But it is not impossible - the Ming and Qing Dynasties can also be regarded as a "procedural legality"
"In this society, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, the key is to be able to withstand criticism in official matters. An official document must be written in a watertight manner, and with a small amount of money, it will be done naturally. Wang Zhaomin was a little complacent - at this moment
, he has already made plans in his stomach.
"The necessary expenses will be paid another day." Xiong Buyou nodded and stood up to leave.
"Hold on," Wang Zhaomin stopped him, "Master Xiong, please stay. I have something to ask you."
"Yes." Xiong Buyou stopped to see what he had to say.
Wang Zhaomin hesitated for a moment. He and Wu Mingjin had been discussing this matter for a long time. After much deliberation, they couldn't find any other way to think about it, but it was hard to say whether the other party was interested in it.
"I heard that you are cultivating land in the United States and Taiwan..."
"Yes, that's exactly what happened." Xiong Buyou admitted openly.
"It is extremely difficult to farm in this land of the United States, Taiwan and the West," Wang Zhaomin said. "I believe you all have some Australian secrets that can be used, and it is probably not difficult to have a good harvest."
Xiong Buyou smiled reservedly. The agricultural level of the Crossing Group is well known in Lingao, and it is also their most attractive skill.
"...It's just the autumn tax of other farmlands in the United States, Taiwan, and the Yangtze River. Please turn it over in full." Only then did Wang Zhaomin reveal his true intention.
Xiong Buyou suddenly realized that it turned out that they had the idea of Qiu Liang.
This calculation is really accurate. As expected, officials can only pretend to be confused, but they are not really confused. Of course, Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin are so interested in the fields of the Crossing Group, and they are really forced to do so. Originally, they did not want to deal with this person.
They were dealing with a group of Australians, but the situation they faced made it impossible for them to imagine.
The collection of "national taxes on imperial grains" was the most important thing and the top priority for grassroots government departments in ancient times. In terms of the high taxes, it can hardly be said to be unbearable. Summer grains are almost negligible, and autumn grains, the main event, are just
Seven thousand six hundred and eighty-six stone, seven liters and nine combined. Even according to Lingao's current low productivity level, it is still affordable.
The biggest problem lies in the additional allocations. Liao’s salary has been increased three times, and the monthly levy is 9 cents. Of course, at this time, whether it is Wu Mingjin or Wang Zhaomin, we still don’t know that there will be another increase next year - the third year of Chongzhen.
, it became a levy of one cent and two cents per mu.
This figure is not difficult for relatively wealthy areas with widespread money circulation, such as places like Nanzhili. But it is difficult for small and remote counties like Lingao, where the natural economy dominates.
