Turbulent Times Chapter 907: Lu’s grandson
Wang Junlin had anticipated the reaction of the officials, so he directly arranged the order, starting from Tongshou and speaking in order according to the size of the official position.
…
"Businessmen are not allowed to ride horse-drawn carriages in the county, and are not allowed to wear brocade robes. Who made the rules?"
After Sun Yang's ambiguous report, Wang Junlin suddenly asked.
Sun Yang couldn't figure out what Wang Junlin wanted to do when he asked about this matter. He thought for a while and said, "It was decided by the former prefect and the lower officials. It is clearly distinguished by those untouchables."
Wang Junlin frowned slightly. He was deeply moved by Sun Yang's natural description of businessmen as lowly and ordinary people as untouchables. Yes, the nobles have all kinds of exaggerated privileges, and the common people have all kinds of astonishing despicableness. For example, in the Sui Order, there is a clause in the Sui Dynasty that if the nobles kill the common people, they can pay silver to pay for their crimes.
"Since there is no such rule in the Great Sui Law of the imperial court, then this rule has been adopted. Merchants can ride in carriages and wear brocade clothes, as long as they don't exceed the limit." Wang Junlin said expressionlessly.
Tongshou Sun Yang was stunned for a moment, and respectfully said yes, without any intention of refuting. Cui Gao, the prefect who was in charge of this matter, hesitated to speak, and frowned, but in the end he was frightened by Wang Junlin's vicious name, I thought that this might be the third fire for the new official to take office, so I obediently said yes, and immediately implemented it after expressing it.
After some beatings, Wang Junlin made some small changes to the local regulations in some places, and then announced that the county lieutenant will be replaced by Shan Xiongxin, and several subordinate officials among the soldiers will be under his guard Choose to act. The prefect can decide these things with one word, but no one dares to say anything.
As for the others, Wang Junlin did not touch them for the time being. They are newcomers and the army is not in his hands. These people are obviously at odds with him, and he does not have enough people in his hands to make up for them. It is not appropriate to make too much trouble personnel changes.
After the meeting ended, Wang Junlin only left Liu Ziming, Shan Xiongxin, and Zhang Tiangang behind, and said with a frown: "Shan Xiongxin, you must take control of the government soldiers as soon as possible, keep those who can be used, and send those who can't be used directly home. Don't expand the number of people for the time being, but just like my guards, all of them will be replaced by elite soldiers or masters, and the manpower will be selected from the martial arts alliance, but the masters who enter must go through intensive training and first become real soldiers."
Shan Xiongxin respectfully said yes with a solemn expression.
Wang Junlin said to Liu Ziming again: "Ziming, you should be familiar with all the business and miscellaneous matters in the county mansion, so that you know what you know, and then find out the details of more than a hundred small officials in the county mansion. Excuses are slowly kicked out, and those who are lacking can be selected from the servants of my house, or they can be selected from the people."
Liu Ziming said with a solemn expression: "The humble job understands what to do."
Wang Junlin pondered for a while, and said: "Zhang Tiangang, send someone to Du Ruhui to give him a month to settle Changxiang County. I will send someone to replace him and let him return to the county as soon as possible. Thank you."
Zhang Tiangang quickly agreed.
…
…
Fanyang County is a prosperous scene, with numerous shops and endless crowds, a large area of official offices in the south city, rich salt merchants' mansions in the west city, magnificent brothels and restaurants in the east city, and Zhangtai willows lightly folded along the road. My sons and brothers, those fierce, sinister and cunning brothers on the road in the North City have bought a large area of land with a lot of money in the center. The Xiaoyu Theater has just opened recently, because the reputation of Xiaoyu Theater has long spread to Fanyang County. Once it opened, the business was full. , a ticket is hard to find.
All of these are the atmosphere that a relatively prosperous county should have.
In the two most prosperous streets in Nancheng, all the shops are Lu's property. At this time, the shopkeepers or principals of all the shops are summoned in the largest six-entry house in Nancheng, and they are listening honestly. A young gentleman's lecture, these shopkeepers are all famous people in this area, but those who are respectful in front of this young gentleman almost kneel down, because that young master is Lu Liheng, the eldest grandson of Lu Bian, the patriarch of the Lu family. , In fact, they are all Lu's servants.
Lu Youda, the eldest son of Lu Bian, under the plan of Wang Junlin and Yang Guang, was killed in a daze in the matter of withdrawing the state capital and changing counties some time ago. He is capable and capable, and because Lu Liheng's father was executed by the emperor, he had no intention of being an official for a while, so Lu Bian handed over the business under Lu's name to Lu Liheng. Lu Youwei, the second son of the debate.
After Lu Liheng left, the shopkeepers pulled on their long gowns, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and whispered, feeling strange in their hearts. Why did the eldest son come here today to remind himself that these people should be more honest in Fanyang City these days, is it possible that with Lu's power, he is afraid of someone who will pull his pigtails? Could it be that you are worried about the new prefect?
It is convenient to wipe the sweat in the long shirt. These shopkeepers are actually smart people, and they vaguely guessed that it should be related to the new prefect... Haven't you heard? As soon as the new prefect arrived at Fan Yang's territory, he was besieged and killed by a thousand cavalrymen who appeared out of nowhere. Fortunately, this prefect was not an ordinary prefect. He personally led a hundred guards and used his magical powers to defeat the thousand cavalry. Then the new prefect killed four officials in Changxiang County, including Lu Jiandong, a direct descendant of the Lu family.
No wonder the eldest son Lu Jianheng was so cautious, for fear of being caught by Wang Junlin for some excuse, it turned out that he was afraid of the new prefect who seemed to want to weaken and attack the Lu family through the law.
…
…
"It's not that I'm afraid of him." Lu Liheng was sitting in the carriage at this moment, unable to maintain his composure in front of outsiders and subordinates, his face was full of hatred, and there was a deep hatred for Wang Junlin in his eyes.
He said with a calm face: "It's the poisonous prefect who is really different from any official in the court."
If Wang Junlin saw the person who was talking to Lu Liheng at this time, he would be slightly surprised. Because the person sitting on the opposite side of the carriage was Sun Yang, the general guard of Fanyang County!
Sun Yang asked suspiciously: "Liheng, in your opinion, what is the difference between Wang Junlin and other officials in the court?"
Lu Jianheng sneered and said: "This poisonous **** is unscrupulous and unconscionable, making it hard to guess. That day he was besieged and killed by a thousand cavalry borrowed from Youzhou by his grandfather. Qiao and Jianbo were terrified to death at the time, worried that Wang Junlin would kill them to vent their anger, they almost ran away first, and then went to see them bravely, but Wang Junlin acted as if nothing had happened, and comforted Jianqiao and Jianbo in turn, It’s just that the county magistrate was dismissed and Cui Shijie came up to fight with our Lu family in Gu’an County.”
