Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 491

The traffic gradually moved away, and they arrived in the city in a blink of an eye.

For example, Xuezheng, Patrol Salt, etc. all left knowingly, but the three envoys faced the governor and reported their work.

Du Yinxi kept a straight face, listening to their detailed report, the expression on his face never changed.

At the end, he looked at Zhu Yiquan and said, "Have you verified the arrears in Jiangsu Province over the years?"

"Ah?" Zhu Yiquan was taken aback, puzzled and said, "What is verification?"

"The amount owed by each state and county and the people."

Du Yinxi said directly.

Zhu Yiquan shuddered when he heard this, Futai is for real!

"Not yet..."

"Huh?" Du Yinxi said sharply immediately: "You have been in office for more than two months, haven't you figured out this kind of thing?"

"You chief envoy seem too comfortable!"

Zhu Yiquan had never felt such a severe reprimand. After a while, he broke out in cold sweat, trembling all over, and bowed his head in silence.

Who knows, Du Yinxi ignored him, and looked directly at him: "According to the inspector, the chief inspector must also cooperate with the chief executive, if the local officials don't do anything, then impeachment is the way to go, how can we let such mediocre and incompetent officials go to court?" The official sits in the yamen?"

"Understood!" The inspector wiped his sweat and nodded hurriedly.

Turning his head, Du Yinxi said to the commander again: "I want to come to the prefecture and county for patrolling and patrolling the second battalion, but it hasn't taken shape yet?"

"Futai Mingjian, most of the people in various places were military households before, but now the reform of the guards has not been completed, and only a few hundred people can be recruited from all over the place, which can control the surrounding area of ​​the county."

"Your Majesty is simply benevolent. There are not many people who fall into bandits, and it is barely enough."

"Well!" Du Yinxi nodded slightly, and said: "This is a matter for you to command the envoys, and I will not interfere with specific matters, but the construction of the patrol camp and the patrol camp must be completed as soon as possible."

As he said that, he sneered and said: "Without soldiers and horses, some people look down on us, and even servants can easily take down the county seat. How can we implement the New Deal?"

Although this statement is true, it is too cruel to say it.

Several people remained silent.

According to the principle of avoiding suspicion, none of the chief officials of the Three Envoys is from Jiangsu Province.

But Du Yinxi is an exception. As the governor, he is from Wuxi, which is amazing.

Therefore, the officials and gentry who greeted them just now greeted them with smiles, thinking that they were from the province, so they naturally cared about their homesickness.

It's a pity that Du Yinxi's parents died since he was a child, and he lived in Yue's family. He has a good understanding of the world and the world.

This is why the emperor asked him to come to Jiangsu Province.

Of course Du Yinxi understood that the emperor was in Nanjing City, watching his performance hundreds of miles away.

When he arrived at his hometown, he would appear even more ruthless.

"The most important thing today is the reform of the guards. It is related to soldiers, land, counties, taxes, etc., so don't be sloppy."

Speaking of this, Du Yinxi's expression gradually eased: "Now that I have just arrived in Yangzhou, I will need a lot of care from you."

"Futai is being polite."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces looked much better.

However, Du Yinxi just smiled slightly and didn't say any more.

After the incident, when the three of them returned home, they felt cold sweat all over their backs, and they were really frightened.

"Go and ask the Bian Zongbing to come over."

After they left, Du Yinxi sat down directly, and gave orders when he opened his mouth.

On the other side, the salt merchants gathered together and began to think about how to get close to the governor.

Although it is said that they are managed by Xunyan Yushi, but after all they live in Yangzhou city, and there is no harm in getting close to the governor.

But just as he was about to act, he was interrupted.

I saw a salt merchant with a serious face and said to the others:

"You guys don't know about Du Yinxi."

"I have found out that when he was in Wuxi, he was known for his honesty and honesty. Later, he was appointed as the Branch Office of Beixin Chaoguan. He was even more honest and honest, and was well received."

"I don't know when I came to Changsha later, but I think it's hard to change my temperament. I'm afraid the imperial court sent this person here, I'm afraid it has been planned."

"Doesn't that mean that the imperial court has made big moves against Jiangsu?"

Now, the salt merchants couldn't sit still, and became anxious one by one.

For them, stability is the best, and Jiangsu Province can't mess up.

The next day, the civil and military officials in Yangzhou City received a message: Governor Du Yinxi has gone to inspect various places.

And his first stop was Taicangwei.

This is coming straight to the guard!
The whole province was shaken for a while.

When the emperor was in Nanjing, he also learned about Du Yinxi's actions, and he admired Du Yinxi's decisive actions. He often praised other officials:

"Jiangsu has Du Yinxi, which is really a blessing."

Reforms have never been smooth sailing. Moreover, the ruling party's wishes are good, but their implementation is strange.

Therefore, the selection of generals has become the top priority.

Zhao Shu on the side also praised: "It's really surprising that you have been patrolling various prefectures, especially Taicang, since you first arrived in Yangzhou."

"Taicang!"

Thinking about its location, the emperor sighed: "Suzhou Mansion is located, the essence of the entire Jiangsu Province, the most important place in the land."

"As long as the guards in Suzhou are resolved, it will naturally set an example, and no one will dare to stop it."

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid of chaos in Jiangsu?"

Zhao Shu naturally understood the emperor's thoughts on the gentry.

As the imperial court is about to move north, the importance of Nanjing has not been reduced by half. Naturally, before leaving, the emperor has to solve his worries.

If the New Deal is to be implemented, the gentry will be the biggest obstacle in Jiangsu Province.

"So what if it's messy?"

Zhu Yixi couldn't help laughing: "Although it is said that one out of ten taxes in the world comes from Jiangsu, it is such an important place that no mistakes can be tolerated."

"Guo Dynasty 200 years, when will the vassal king be enshrined in the south of the Yangtze River? I'm afraid it will be messed up."

"It's a pity that if you blindly indulge, you will be like a habit, and you won't get any benefits."

When Zhao Shu heard the words, they all had somewhat different opinions: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, taxes in Suzhou and other places are several times heavier than those in other provinces, so that the gentry complain so much, how can we condone it?"

"Heavy taxation is for ordinary people, while pampering is for gentry."

Zhu Yixi said lightly: "Gentlemen have plenty of ways to evade taxes, but ordinary people cannot escape."

"Therefore, when the new policy is completed, I will grant exemptions to Jiangsu, reduce taxes and taxes, and comfort people's hearts."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Zhao Shu was stunned.

Du Yinxi is like a knife, cut through the mess quickly, clean up Jiangsu Province, and it will be the emperor's turn to take action.

And he also knew his mission and couldn't wait to carry it out.

Because he only understands that time waits for no one. Only when the emperor sits in Nanjing can the new policies of Jiangsu come into his eyes and have a bright future.

Similarly, Jiangsu can't get into chaos. Tens of thousands of Beijing camps suppress it, and a few dare to rebel.

Therefore, Du Yinxi is not reckless, but knows how to measure and seizes the opportunity!

It seems that in the future court, it must have a place.
