Chapter 712: Liao Jin Falls(1/3)
Before the smoke of the war in Northern Xinjiang had cleared, Liao Jin took over the post of military governor of Northern Xinjiang in the joyous atmosphere of the victory.
To become a military envoy, except for the appointment of middle and high-level officials in Chang'an, Liao Jin had the final say in this land.
This is the Tu Emperor!
To be honest, Liao Jin had never experienced the feeling of being a local emperor before.
Huang Chunhui must be blamed for this matter. During his tenure as Jiedu Envoy, Huang had always looked like he was half-dead. Not to mention his appearance in front of others, even in front of his subordinates, he was listless.
Now he knows...
The officials bowed their heads respectfully in the lobby, waiting for their orders.
"The seizures from this battle will be used first to provide compensation to the soldiers who died in the battle."
"yes."
"Although Bei Liao was defeated, we still have to be wary of them destroying farming."
"yes."
Liao Jin nodded, "Let's go and do our own work!"
Everyone resigned.
Liao Jin picked up the paperwork on the table.
When Huang Chunhui was there, due to physical reasons, most of these matters were left to him and Liu Qing, so Liao Jin handled them very easily and contentedly.
"Where's Lao Liu?"
Liao Jin suddenly asked.
Jiao Mingzhong, a confidant who joined the army in recording affairs, said: "Zhongcheng, Liu Sima went to inspect the place."
After taking over as Jiedushi, Chang'an also gave Liao Jin the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, the same title as Huang Chunhui.
"oh!"
Liao Jin covered his forehead, "I forgot. I'm getting old, I'm getting old."
He said he was old, but Liao Jin's eyes were sharp and his stern aura made people think he was a ferocious tiger sitting there.
Power is the best medicine for youth.
"Zhongcheng."
Jiao Mingzhong said softly: "Deputy Envoy Yang fought hard in Dengzhou. It is said that he has captured three local wealthy families. Wow!"
"Why are you gloating?" Liao Jin frowned.
Liao Mingzhong leaned forward, with a look of panic on his face, "Zhongcheng, many people in Tao County say that Deputy Ambassador Yang is young and has no rules for handling things. It's just that Dengzhou was made a mess by him, I'm afraid he will still be like this when he returns to northern Xinjiang...
"
"You are not guilty, what are they worried about?"
Liao Jin put down the paperwork.
"Zhongcheng, think about it, how much do those powerful officials in Dengzhou have to do with Chang'an? If they hate Deputy Ambassador Yang because of this... To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with us. But those people will
Get angry!"
Jiao Mingzhong smiled bitterly, "After Zhongcheng took over, the Chang'an Household Department has become more and more rude. If we find an excuse for them, I don't know, a lot of money and food will be deducted this year."
When Huang Chunhui was there, although the Ministry of Revenue often pushed against Northern Xinjiang, they did not dare to go too far.
Liao Jin... was inferior to Huang Chunhui in terms of prestige and qualifications. As soon as he took over, he was tested by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"He naturally knows what's appropriate." Liao Jin said: "Taking care of a few powerful people is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and then we can coordinate with the local government smoothly."
Jiao Mingzhong told him to retreat, but not long after, he came again like flying.
"Zhongcheng! This is incredible!"
"What are you doing?" Liao Jin said dissatisfied.
Jiao Mingzhong's face flushed, "Deputy Envoy Yang...Deputy Envoy Yang captured Dengzhou Governor Zhu Nian and others..."
"What?" Liao Jin was startled, "Then he must have obtained evidence of guilt."
"In the entire Dengzhou Prefecture, only five officials were spared."
Boom!
The brush fell on the eucalyptus table, and Liao Jin closed his eyes, "This is a hole in the sky!"
Big eucalyptus!
A giant eucalyptus that has never been seen in recent years!
"More than ten houses of powerful men in Dengzhou were confiscated."
"Oh!" Liao Jin covered his forehead, feeling a splitting headache, "What about the civil unrest?"
"The thieves came to the city. Deputy Yang rode out of the city alone, saying that he had surrendered the bandit leader, and then they all surrendered."
Liao Jin rubbed his eyebrows, "Then, the civil unrest must be related to those powerful officials!"
"Yes, Deputy Ambassador Yang's original words were that if the government forces the people to rebel, the people will have no choice but to rebel."
Liao Jin shook his head, "It's too harsh."
Jiao Mingzhong smiled bitterly, "No, if this news spreads, the powerful people in Northern Xinjiang will be wary of Deputy Envoy Yang."
A petty official came in and said, "Zhongcheng, please see the heads of many powerful families."
Liao Jin nodded, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad."
Later, more than ten men came in.
"I know what you want to say!"
Liao Jin was the first to say, “Northern Xinjiang is still the same Northern Xinjiang. But Northern Xinjiang cannot remain unchanged.
People rely on the fields to survive...you must know how to behave and do things appropriately.
I have to say something ugly, where do the officers and soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Army come from? Where do the people and taxes come from, or the people. Do you understand?"
The common people are the food, clothing and parents of the troops and officials in Northern Xinjiang. When you do something, you should know the importance of it.
"yes."
Sun Xian, the head of the Sun family, coughed dryly and said, "Since Zhongcheng is here, we naturally know what to do. But that person..." He pointed in the direction of Chenzhou, "That person is not easy to talk to. This time in Dengzhou, he made
They were so bloody that they didn’t notice us!”
Zitai has done this before... Liao Jindan said calmly: "It's not a shame, what are you afraid of?"
Sun Xian smiled and said: "Those who are guilty or not are all working for the Tang Dynasty. As long as Zhongcheng says a word, we can make up for the lack of food and grass when we go back. Just tell me, right?"
After the Dengzhou incident broke out, the powerful men in northern Xinjiang were saddened by the death of a rabbit but also thought about how to deal with Deputy Envoy Yang.
In the end, he still decided to cooperate with Liao Jin to suppress Yang Xuan.
Liao Jin could not be unaware of these hints, so how would he choose?
Sun Xian smiled, thinking how could any fish not eat the bait?
After the war in Northern Xinjiang, just rewarding merits required a huge amount of money and food. The Jiedushi government was in dire straits, and Liao Jin had even found a powerful man a few days ago, hinting that the local powerful men should take the initiative to stand up.
But what is tyranny?
Gold-eating beast!
Just eat without vomiting!
Whenever they spit out money and food, there must be greater benefits waiting for them.
In other words, these people do not let go of the eagle when they see the rabbit.
There is no benefit, let alone you Liao Jin, even if the emperor comes, I have no money!
However, today they took the initiative and offered to give some money and food to fill the treasury.
Naturally, these people will not give benefits for no reason, and the hint is in place: Liao Zhongcheng, should you take care of that mad dog Yang Xuan? It is best to tie it up with a rope.
Sun Xian and others looked at Liao Jin with smiles.
They are not in a hurry.
But Liao Jin is so anxious!
With just one reward, most of Beijiang's treasury was emptied. It's not early summer yet. If something happens, what will you do to deal with it?
If the Northern Liao army comes again at this moment, Liao Jin's only choice is to stay in seclusion.
No money, no food, no hard words.
"Why!"
Liao Jin sighed, "Northern Xinjiang is still the same Northern Xinjiang."
Understand?
