When it comes to being smooth and skillful in dealing with things, Wang Canzi is certainly not as good as Tian Shun, who was born in Shinko, but his own fierce face and simple and crude methods are unexpectedly suitable for dealing with the thugs who instigated and led the refugees.

Before the refugees who were walking on their legs arrived, Wang Jianzi had already sent people to transport more than a dozen people back in a carriage.

They were all tied up and blocked their mouths. After being loosened, they always honestly asked and answered whatever they asked, obviously they were being cleaned up and obedient.

The previous employers of Master Da Yu had served in Chengwu County and Dongpingzhou, southern Shandong. He knew a lot about the situation in southern Shandong, so he presided over the interrogation of these people.

After a round of questions, Master Dayu came to Shen Rui with a thick stack of mouths.

"At the beginning, someone promised money to lead the refugees to Dengzhou. People don't know what they are. There are two clever ones. They only said that after coming to Denglai, they felt that the accent of the person was not from here."

Master Dayu replied.

These were not beyond Shen Rui's expectations.

Those who have formed a bond with him and can mobilize refugees are not in Dezhou, but in Jinan. Dengzhou's small fish and shrimp are not capable of reaching as far away as southern Shandong.

Master Dayu's expression was particularly serious and said, "At the beginning, there were only more than a thousand people who were taken out of southern Shandong like this, but there were not so many, but there were people who were hiding from war on the road, and the whole village followed..."

Shen Rui nodded and said, "Zhao Zhong, a fierce bandit in Caozhou. Looking at the news that has been heard in recent times, the bandits over there have been almost wiped out. I am afraid that Zhao Zhong and his gang will be destroyed, and the rest will be dispersed as young bandits and continue.

To cause trouble, to harm one side.”

When Shou Ge put Gao Wenhu to Caozhou to suppress the bandits, he clearly wanted to accumulate merits.

Both Zhang Hui and Shen Rui knew this and were in close relationship with Gao Wenhu. Therefore, the communication network in Shandong was shared with Gao Wenhu.

Judging from the news that it is sent back every few days, Luo Ke's enemy Gao Wenhu's bandit suppression this time should be quite smooth.

Gao Wenhu should have obtained at least one thousand households. With Shou Ge's temper, it is very likely to be promoted in an extraordinary way.

Shen Rui only thought that the dispersed bandits fought their families and forced the people to escape.

Unexpectedly, Master Dayu shook his head and said, "It would be fine if the bandits come and rob them. What they are afraid of is that the officials and soldiers of the court will pass through the border, so they will ask for it and arrest Ding Wei's servant..."

Shen Rui was stunned and subconsciously said, "How could the military discipline be so corrupt?!"

Master Dayu said, "I think I don't know that when I come to the home, I have to work hard to suppress bandits in the local area, and it is understandable to recruit civilians. However, in the past two years, there have been natural disasters everywhere, and there is no harvest in the military camps. The superiors deduct food and pay and do not care about the year of disaster.

In the good times, if you want to suppress bandits again, you naturally have to ask the local area for silver and rice, and the local area... I will distribute it to each village and household."

Shen Rui felt a headache.

It would be strange if you don’t have to suffer chaos in this way!

I think if it weren't for the little emperor who wanted his military forces to send the Beijing camp, the Leopard Warriors and others to suppress the bandits, just relying on the local guards, they would not be able to refer to the kind of suppression of what they had become, and they forced the rebellion of many good people!

In the history of previous lives, the Liu Liu and Liu Qi Uprising, which lasted for three years, went to many provinces and even reached the capital for a time, broke out in October of the fifth year of Zhengde.

In the following six years of Zhengde, there were frequent uprisings, including Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Huguang, and the Nine Borders that have never been peaceful, plus the chaotic vassal kings...

The Ming Dynasty will be in war everywhere!

Thinking of the vassal king, Shen Rui unconsciously calculated the rebellion of King Anhua in the fifth year of Zhengde.

Now that Zhang Yong has gone to Shanxi, he has also dealt with the chaos in history.

Moreover, the matter of Ning Fan was exposed to the little emperor very long ago. I think whether the little emperor or the cabinet would be more careful about the royal family.

Shen Rui was a little relieved.

Just as he was thinking about the royal family of the vassal kings, he heard Master Da Yu say, "There is a group of people in the head, and there is another hidden story, but it involves the Dewang Mansion. The leading students have arranged their residences separately, and the head can ask questions at any time.

”

"Di Wang Mansion?" Shen Rui couldn't help but frowned.

There were no vassal kings in Dengzhou. The only one who had something to do with the royal family was the mother of the Concubine Jing of Xianmiao in Wendeng.

This concubine Wang Jing had only given birth to one prince and died in three months. She never even had a name, so she never showed anything since then.

But she had raised Princess Deqing for a period of time.

Now that Concubine Wang Jing is still alive, she just has no presence in the harem. Neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager attaches much importance to her.

However, Princess Deqing was very close to her when she was thinking about her love, and would come to the palace to visit her from time to time.

When Shen Rui was out of Dengzhou, Princess Deqing's mansion came to say hello.

The Wang family is not a big family, and it is probably because they don’t have a royal bloodline, so they are not too arrogant.

Shen Rui waited for Wendeng to clear the land of the farm and then looked at the house carefully.

As for the vassal kings in Shandong, the ones were also in Qingzhou recently. Because they had nothing to do with Dengzhou, Shen Rui did not study them very seriously.

However, even if he had not dug deeper, he knew that King De was the second son of Ying Temple, and was born by Concubine Chen Wan.

Concubine Wan Chen gave birth to four men and two women for Ying Temple. She is the one with the most children among the concubines in Ying Temple and is extremely favored by the emperor.

Among the four sons and two daughters, the ones who are still alive are the eldest princess Chun'an, except King De Zhu Jianyan and King Ji Zhu Jianjun.

Yes, King De is the brother of the eldest princess Chun'an!

Shen Rui's brows were locked tighter, and King De was famous for his insatiable greed.

At that time, Xianmiao was very kind to this younger brother. The most fields were given to him were the first among the vassal kings. It is said that the treatment was second only to the emperor.

But even so, King De was not satisfied and still wrote many letters to beg for the land.

In July of the first year of Zhengde, King De also wrote a letter to the young emperor, begging for less taxes.

Shamelessly said that in the past, he only collected two dou of grains per mu of farmland in Yanzhou. However, the land in Qinghe was originally built in seven years. After the proposal of Song Min, the young minister of Dali Temple, was taken into account by five liters per mu. Recently, the emperor issued an edict to charge silver per mu.

If he has three points, he will be too poor to lose his money, so please ask the emperor to only collect two dou according to the previous rules.

Not to mention that the Ministry of Revenue did not allow it at that time, even the little emperor was so angry that he said bluntly: "Why are the king suffering from poverty?! No!"

With the character of the little emperor, he is very dissatisfied with King De and should have done it long ago, but...

Since the young emperor ascended the throne, Princess Chun'an has been firmly standing on the side of the young emperor, fighting against Empress Dowager Zhang and the Zhang family, and helping the young emperor do a lot of things.

The little emperor has regarded Princess Chun'an as his own, and even the warriors in the leopard room were handed over to Cai Liang, the eldest grandson of Princess Chun'an, which shows the degree of trust.

Even for the sake of the eldest princess Chun'an, the little emperor would not make things too difficult for King De.

I don’t know if the eldest princess Chun’an got the little emperor hinted that she had reminded King De privately that she had never heard of King De in recent years.

Unexpectedly, this man never restrained himself, but just didn't make a big deal.

"King De, did he occupy the Mintian?" Although Shen Rui asked, his tone was quite affirmative, and he felt deeply helpless.

The eldest princess Chun'an has a close relationship with his Shen family and the Yang family.

Master Dayu nodded and said, "Last year, King De was 60 years old, and many people devoted themselves to the land. Some people said they were offering, but they did not vote for their own land. The De Palace ignored it at all and directly occupied it.

Go."

"Many farmers have no way to sue, and most of them have to admit it and become tenant farmers in the royal palace." He looked at Shen Rui's face and said, "However, last year, there were droughts and bandits in Yanzhou, and the land was reduced,

The rent of the royal palace has not decreased, and it has been forced to pay debts every winter and spring, and the seeds of spring plowing are not left behind... This has forced the farmers to escape..."

When it comes to the vassal kings, he is extremely cautious and has sorted out his confessions.

Master Dayu paused and sighed: "The student has been in Yanzhou for more than ten years. The Dewang Mansion is really... unpopular, and there are frequent floods and droughts, and the people are suffering. If you are just refugees, then it's just that. The students are very afraid of someone.

Defeat."

Shen Rui's face was gloomy.

Among the Ming Dynasty vassal kings, there were few good people, but many were arrogant and prosperous.

Even if the vassal kings were not devoured by their ambitions and rebelled themselves, this greed would force the people of their vassal areas to rebel!

But this matter was in Yanzhou. The Yanzhou prefect was not moving. There were so many officials in the Jinan Prefecture Administration. Shen Rui, a Dengzhou prefect who was thousands of miles away, jumped out, which was indeed overstepping the line.

Not to mention the level of Princess Chun'an.

Shen Rui rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sir, please leave your confession first. This matter must be carefully considered because it involves the vassal king." He also said, "When the refugees in southern Shandong arrive in two days, I will have to work hard.

Work hard.”

Greater than the master responded and bowed.

Shen Rui was left alone in the study, looking through the stack of confessions repeatedly, and the ink in his hand was spinning around in the inkstone, but he had not finished writing for a long time.

*

Dengzhou has always had few refugees who defected, and officials from all sizes and counties have no experience in appeaseing refugees.

Fortunately, the new prefect, Lord Shen, is on the way.

Lord Shen was recommended to send him to Shandong because of his "good at disaster relief" and "make many extraordinary achievements". This reputation also gave confidence to Dengzhou Prefecture.

Several meetings for resettlement of refugees were held, and dozens of emergency plans were copied and distributed to various places.

Dengzhou Wei also borrowed people and cooperated with all his strength.

The government office posted a notice to directly break down the arrival of refugees, guide public opinion from the front, and reduce the panic caused by rumors to the people.

After some action, the arrival of refugees did not cause much trouble in Dengzhou.

However, the number of refugees was beyond everyone's expectations.

The leaders who were sent to the first place only remember how many people they brought, and they didn't care about how many people joined, how many people were lost, and how many casualties were.
