6. Bad governance remains the same
So Gao Yue asked the envoys around him to be responsible for giving money to this group of soldiers who occupy the land and become king.
The money for passing the ship is calculated based on the number of ships and the load capacity. The prices of 1,000 hu and 500 hu are not the same. Although the Shenwei cavalry on the shore does not take a boat, they still charge "overdue money" according to the number of horses.
In addition, there is also a one-time "Yancheng Money".
In this way, I actually have to pay a hundred tolls of up to 100% of the toll.
So Gao Yuexing was angry and looked at the top of the camp, and his chest was filled with lustful breath, but Mr. Ji said he had to be steady and had nowhere to vent.
After receiving the money, the second-rank honorary official in the purple shirt who was beaten to the back of the hill.
After a while, many thin men in ragged clothes and barefoot seemed to emerge from the fields and shrubs. Among them, some were gray-haired and some were covered with a few lines of cloth. They were hunched over and held a rope with their backs. They were driven by the soldiers and rolled and crawled to the shore. They must be the so-called slim house.
Gao Yue, who was standing on the deck, couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene.
The ship that was first trapped in river sand began to move slowly as many ropes pulled by countless ropes...
For nearly twenty miles, the boatmen led the boats over until the ship could draw water again.
Before entering the Hanqiao Patrol, Gao Yue asked his men to give each of the boatmen more than 100 cents.
The boatmen knelt on the ground, thanking him for their gratitude. When they put the money into the ropes, Gao Yue, who was off the boat and resting, grabbed the hand of the old man and told him: "Before going back, wait to bury the money in one place, and wait until it gets up and divide it."
When the old man heard this, he realized that Gao Yue was different from other officials. He knew that they would be exploited by the garrison soldiers after receiving the money. He became respectful and hurriedly bowed to Gao Yue.
"Your father-in-law doesn't need to be polite. I just ask you why the court has already flew the hall and abandoned the canal along the river. Then these garrison soldiers are still lawless, will the local county magistrate of Songzhou ignore it?"
"I'm not to hide it from the Ming Gong, the hall certificate is just waste paper here! The county magistrate is the military general who guards the local area, and the previous delivery envoy (under the Douzha's law, the various towns are responsible for the transportation). He instigated the pawns to come here to collect money from ships, and also seized water and set up water to exploit the people around him. Although we poor people are not fickle households on the surface, our situation is even worse than before. Not only are these pawns forced to pull the fickle, but they are not considered to be completed. After returning home, they have to deal with the miscellaneous tasks. It is really a separation of wives and children, and life is worse than death..." After saying that, the old man couldn't bear it and started crying in front of Gao Yue.
When entering the Xia Hill in Sizhou, the Bian River gradually opened up. The bow of the boat pushed the waves away, splashing white water splashed, and many birds hovered on the sails. The villages and towns along the road became more and more prosperous. Gao Yue, who was standing on the bow, flew over his clothes, but he was full of worries.
"When Master Yan was traveling two thousand miles of water transport, he wrote to Yuanzai, which talked about the four major problems of water transport. Then Master Yan solved them one by one, but who expected that the problems would be the same for only twenty years, but they would have to solve them again. If I die again, it might be that people would die... If I had not seen it with my own eyes, how could I know that in a place where military and political affairs are inseparable from the Central Secretariat's sect, the starting point was good, but in the end it aggravated their disaster... In order to get rid of this terrible and helpless cycle, maybe I would look further and do more thoroughly. This must be what Master Yan wants to ask when I meet me in Sanmenxia during my journey back, what kind of answer will I give him?"
When the ship was about to leave Xiaqiu, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in the wilderness to the west. The general in charge saw Gao Yue's ship and flags, and immediately turned over and dismounted, shouting: "Mr. Ji, I am Wang Zhixing, the goalkeeper of Xu Hao Siya. Can Ji still remember me?"
It turned out to be Wang Zhixing (named Kuangjian), under Zhang Jianfeng's command, who was a ruthless man who could run three thousand miles in ten days. When the battle of Anlechuan was in battle, the emperor sent him to get Gao Yue to retreat.
Originally, when Li Shigu was in a tense relationship with the court, Wang Zhixing accepted the order of Xuzhou Jiedushi Zhang Jianfeng to guard several counties in Teng, Feng and Pei. Now Ziqing has obeyed the court. When he learned that Gao Yue had passed by and left Huainan, he hurriedly led 200 cavalry to guard. On the way, Wang Zhixing felt that the horses were running too slowly and wanted to leave the others and run to the Bian River first.
"Recommendation!" The old friends are naturally extremely enthusiastic when they meet again.
Gao Yue simply gave up the boat and rode a horse to go ashore with Wang Zhixing, asking about the military and political situations in Huainan and Xusi. Wang Zhixing also expressed his loyalty to the court on behalf of Xu Haosi Jiedushi Zhang Jianfeng. The two walked straight to Linhuai, which was where the Bian River entered the Huainan River. Since then, it has been the jurisdiction of Huainan Town. Wang Zhixing reluctantly parted with Gao Yue.
In the local patrol, Gao Yue transferred to a larger and wider ship, instead of the flat-bottomed boats traveling in the Bian River, which was more similar to a sea boat. There were several large sails on the masts, and they walked east along the Huai River with the wind. It was so inconvenient. He arrived at Shanyangdu, Chuzhou almost a day and a night.
Shanyangdu, namely Hangou, is a canal connecting the Huai River and the Yangtze River.
After entering Hangou from Shanyangdu, the first stop was Baoying Passing Institution in Chuzhou.
It was also in this courtyard that the military personnel of Huainanfang Town stood in a dense area to welcome the new Jiedushi.
Huainan is still a Xiong Town that the imperial court is focusing on, so the officials of prefectures and counties were directly appointed by the imperial court, and the town generals were scattered to station in key places. Therefore, the only ones who could come to welcome Gao Yue were the subordinates of the military palace.
Gao Yue led the town this time, not like the traditional imperial decree of the shogunate. The lord of the shogunate recruited bureaucrats in the court, and then went to the local area. He said that this time, "I also led the two towns of Huainan and Huainan West Road (Huaixi). Because of the urgent military situation, the former military officials in Huainan were all changed." Therefore, Gao Yue did not lead the secretary, the marching Sima, or the escort of the capital. He only re-established some of the three yamen staffs originally formed in Xingyuan and Fengxiang. In addition, he also brought several branch envoys to be responsible for the accounting along the way.
"The shogunate was a temporary organization for war. In the past, what was needed was literati who were well-versed in the lyrics and scriptures and was responsible for the handover of documents, but now it is different. What is needed are specialized technical officers, such as cannon guns, accountants, horse herding, and planning." This is what Gao Yue thought.
However, after arriving at Baoyingyuan, Gao Yue saw that the institution of this town in Huainan was not simple.
But there were more than a hundred officials in black and white clothes, and they stood in three teams.
One of the teams was Gu Xiu, the former Huainan Jiedu governor Du Yaxia, who was behind him was Gu Xiu;
The middle team is affiliated with the Duzhisi patrol system, led by Wang Haichao, the descendant of the Yangziyuan, and behind them are the officials of the patrol and branch patrol;
The team there is a member of the Salt and Iron Transportation Department, headed by Meng Zhongyang, the magistrate of Shoulu Court, and behind them are all officials of the court.
