Chapter 603 (1/2)
The magistrate of Pengxian County, holding his concubine in his arms, was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. Before he knew what was going on, he was dragged out of bed.
Guan Tai glanced at the trembling beauty on the bed and scolded: ”my mother is a babe. I am still a bachelor after 26 years, but you old and immortal are lucky.” The man in this bed looks sixteen or seventeen years old.
The county magistrate saw this and said, ”if you like it, just take it away and ask for my life.” Reason with these robbers. He's not so big a face.
The beauty in bed fainted after hearing this.
Guan Tai turned his head disdainfully and said to the people around him, ”take him down.” He is not interested in the beauty in bed, but the gold and silver jewelry in the room are very interesting.
It took two hours to copy the county magistrate's home. Looking at a box of gold, silver and jewelry, Guan Tai could not help swearing: ”Damn it...” One year's salary of a county magistrate is no more than one hundred Liang, but this county magistrate has so much wealth. Where did all this come from? It must have come from the looting of the people.
That night, Yunqing sent 5000 people to copy the officials of Pengxian county and most of the rich businessmen. Only a few survived. That little part is not missed, but Yunqing intentionally let it go. Because these are very few people with good reputation.
Shortly after daybreak, Du Zheng walked in and said, ”general yuan is back.” Yuan Ying is the one who led the team to transcribe.
Yuan Ying walked in and said, ”general, according to the list you gave, we have checked it. This is the list after checking. ” There are too many things to save time, so he won't read them.
These families checked, Peng county magistrate's family wealth is not much. The real rich are the rich merchants in the city. Among them, only more than 200000 liang of silver were seized from the secret room of the largest rich merchant in Pengxian county. There are countless jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings.
Cloud Qing picked up the list and quickly glanced at it, saying: ”next time you check, remember to put away the books. When things are settled, these books will be sent to Yucheng. ” Ink is good, these books are very precious things. There are few books in the Qingming school. The only hundreds are hand copied.
Yuan Ying nodded quickly and said, ”this time I don't think well. I'll pay attention next time.” He only thought about precious things such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting. He didn't think about the writing and ink of this book, but the general had a thorough consideration.
Yunqing will think of this, because Yuxi sometimes recites that there are too few books in the school, so he needs to send people to Fucheng to buy more books and put them in the school.
Yuan Ying said, ”the general, the county magistrate and the county magistrate have both killed them. They have to choose a suitable person to run the affairs, or Pengxian will be in a mess.” They are not robbers who rob and run away. Pengxian will be their territory in the future, so it's natural to manage it well.
Yun Qing nodded and said, ”I know that in my mind.” Half a year's time is enough for his people to find out the situation of each state and county. Who should be killed and who can be used? He has a basic idea. This is also Yunqing's temperament. We should make full preparations before fighting. Although he has been hesitating whether to fight or not, he has no less preparation to do. Of course, it is also the incompetence of the emperor, the corruption of the court, and the chaos of the northwest. Otherwise, he would have convicted the court of conspiracy.
Although Yunqing has cleared up the officials who embezzle and corrupt the people, such as the county magistrate and the county Cheng, and the rich businessmen who help the tyranny, he has not disturbed the people. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses brought with them did not disturb the people. Therefore, the people know that the county magistrate and the county Cheng and other officials were killed, not only not afraid, but applauded.
The army moved on, and Yunqing stayed in Pengxian for a day. He selected a person with good reputation and ability to act as the county magistrate of Pengxian County, and appointed several squires with good reputation in all aspects to act as the county magistrate.
Take good care of things in Pengxian, and Yunqing leaves in no hurry. In this way, Yunqing is not like a conspirator at all, but rather an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to rectify local government affairs.
Three days later, the army marched to Linzhou. Linzhou garrison looked at the dark army and was almost scared to death. When we knew it was the northwest army, not the barbarians who had been abducted by the north, we immediately opened the door.
The gatekeeper is not a fool either. It's so dark and oppressive. Let alone revolt. Each other has to trample them to death with one foot. Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, so surrender as soon as possible!
This is what the city guards think. The officials in the neighboring state naturally know what to choose. Unfortunately, Yunqing didn't buy it. As for these officials, as long as they are guilty, they should be checked and checked, and they should be jailed without any hesitation.
Linzhou is the capital of the state. Most of the officials and rich businessmen's houses were copied and gold and silver were piled up into mountains. Let alone the others, but Yunqing was stunned for a while. Apart from the antique calligraphy and paintings, there are more than six million gold and silver. It's only in Linzhou. If we get to Lanzhou, the provincial capital, it's estimated to double. Yunqing knew why the rebels were able to expand rapidly. After robbing so much money, he naturally expanded his troops.
Guan Tai said excitedly, ”general, how much gold and silver will you get when we copy those officials and rich businessmen in the pickaxe city?” Think about it. Guan Tai's eyes are green.
