Chapter 475 Anonymous Reporting
Money and food can be received now, but the land is given to a piece of land, which will be granted by the county government after returning to the hometown. The principle of allocating the land in the official field is that the land does not leave the hometown.

That is to say, the land must be in the township where the soldier's household registration is located. If there is no land in the township, the county government will have to make up for it at the market price, and the soldiers will buy it themselves.

If the county implements injustice, the soldiers can directly appeal to the Supervision Department of the Military Office, and Liu Chu, who is in charge of the Supervision Department, will send someone to investigate.

This is the follow-up plan proposed by Wang Anshi. As an experienced local official, Wang Anshi pays special attention to implementation. If there is a problem in the implementation of the Xiang army reform this time, it will lose its reputation, which will affect the future military reform. Wang Anshi is pragmatic Considering that, Fanning is fully supportive.

In each large tent, several soldiers were sitting in front of a long table, and all the soldiers were sorted out by category, so the checking was very quick.

In Yingtian Mansion's big tent, a soldier handed over his badge, "Zhang Ping, from Wuma Township, Ningling County!"

A worker immediately found the roster of Ningling County, sorted by surname, and quickly found Zhang Ping, but there were two Zhang Ping in it, one was from Beigou Township and the other was from Wuma Township. , asked: "14 years in the army, ordinary soldiers, right!"

The soldier nodded, "Yes!"

He was asked to stamp his fingerprints on the back of the roster, and crossed out his name with a pen, put his badge in the box, and handed him a receipt, "Twenty acres of land, fourteen coins, Mi Liangshi, go to the back warehouse to get the money Mihe Tianyin, next one!"

Soldiers are iron medals, and firemen and above are bronze medals. The verification process is very fast, and the team gradually began to shrink.

The warehouse at the back is extremely busy, and the spacious space is full of rows of old wheelbarrows. These are the [-] wheelbarrows they bought from various counties in Yingtianfu. Most of them are [-]% to [-]% new. Everyone likes to use this kind of semi-old wheelbarrow, which is almost run-in, very smooth, and easier to use than a new one.

Two bags of rice were placed on each wheelbarrow, and the soldiers went to collect their Tianyin and money, put away the Tianyin, spread the money on the rice bags, wrapped them in oiled paper or linen, and said goodbye.

Some soldiers got together to drink in the city after getting the money, and even went to the brothel to have a good time. Many soldiers went to the city to find money shops to save money, or sold rice to grain shops, and then gave them to their wives and children. Buy some cloth to eat.

But most of the soldiers returned home with their carts, and there were groups of soldiers pushing carts everywhere on the official roads, which looked quite spectacular.

In the afternoon, the last wheelbarrow walked out of the camp, and the liquidation of overage soldiers finally ended in stages. Of course, there are still implementation issues, mainly land. The government must grant the land in full, and it must be Shangtian. The amount of land And quality will be the focus of complaints arising.

In the yamen of the pacification envoy of Songcheng County, Liu Chu handed a letter to Fan Ning, which was received from the secret chamber this morning, let you take a look!Things are a little tricky.

Mikui is a large iron box at the gate of the pacification envoy's military office, which is used for complaints and informants. Because many low-level generals peeped at the command envoy's position, there has been a sudden increase in the number of whistleblower letters recently. Usually grudges, take advantage of this opportunity to retaliate.

But the letter in Liu Chu's hand was a bit out of the ordinary. Generally, whistleblower letters are mostly speculative, and the content is more guesswork, but this letter has clear data, and the source of every sum of money is clearly explained.

Fan Ning took the letter and looked at it. He actually reported Zhou Qing, the third battalion of Yingtian Mansion, saying that he had embezzled 120 guan in military expenditures in eight years, and ate 150 guan of empty salary every month. In addition, soldiers’ salaries were deducted. Each person deducted 350 guan per month, and he took [-] guan. There are five concubines raised outside.

This letter was shocking, and Fan Ning's face became more and more gloomy. He remembered very clearly that Zhou Qing himself confessed that he had received a total of 350 yuan in benefits, a difference of [-] times, and the problem was too serious.

They turn a blind eye and close their eyes to let the generals go, but they are not without principles. The premise is that the generals must be honest, and secondly, the money and goods handed over must be appropriate, not less than half. It is too much for Wanmin to pay 350 guan for military expenditure, but only pay [-] guan.

If even this kind of situation is not guilty, what should others do?Everyone is not a fool, and they all understand in their hearts that if those who have embezzled [-] yuan hand over [-] yuan and those who have embezzled [-] yuan have nothing to do, then there is no need to continue the reform.

"Emissary, what should we do?" Liu Chu asked.

Fan Ning pondered for a while and said, "Let's hold a special meeting tonight!"

Liu Chu said cautiously again: "Why don't you check it out first, to see if the report above is true!"

"can!"

Fanning nodded, "But be careful not to startle the snake."

"The humble official will pay attention!"

At night, in the meeting hall of the Department of Pacification, the six officials of the Military Management Office looked dignified. Finally, Lu Huiqing read the report letter, and Fan Ning said: "How is the investigation by Liu Jiansi?"

Liu Jiansi nodded, "We selected ten people to inquire, and the contents of the report letter are basically true!"

After a moment of silence, Fan Ning said slowly: "Let's talk about it! How should we deal with it?"

Zhao Zhongzhen went back to the capital to hand in the report, here Fan Ning is the boss, he set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth, he must deal with it, but how to deal with it, everyone will negotiate a better plan.

"I don't think there's any need to discuss it anymore!"

Wang Anshi said coldly: "A commander is greedy for 5000 taels. If he becomes a commander, how much will he be greedy? What if he becomes a general? I can't even imagine it. I suggest arresting him immediately and sending him to the Privy Council Army." judicial treatment."

Wang Anshi's heart was as hard as iron, and according to Zhou Qing's embezzlement amount, sending it to the Military Justice Department of the Privy Council would be a dead end.

Fan Ning glanced at the commander Li Han again. After all, Zhou Qing is his subordinate and he also has the right to speak. Li Han was silent for a moment and said: "I also agree to severe punishment, but I hope to give him a chance. If he is willing to If the greedy money is vomited out, the Military Judiciary of the Privy Council will consider how to deal with it, at least it can save his life, I have no friendship with him, but he was the second to jump on Jiang Chenghua when he was arrested."

"What about the Supervision Department's opinion?" Fan Ning did not express his opinion, but turned to Liu Chu.

Liu Chu said slowly: "The letter said that he had five concubines. I think it's obviously unrealistic for him to vomit all of them."

Li Han quickly shook his head and said: "I'm not trying to exonerate him, what I mean is, give him a chance, how much he can give is his business, but at least he can't complain about our unfair treatment, and we treat him as well." Benevolence is exhausted.”

"What does Wang Tong think?" Fan Ning asked Wang Anshi again.

Wang Anshi still said coldly: "I still don't think it is necessary. The embezzlement of huge military expenditures should be killed in itself, and it has nothing to do with whether he wants to make amends."

"Okay! Let's vote!"

Fan Ning glanced at Wuren and said, "Two proposals, agree with Li Han's plan and raise your hand."

Li Han, Liu Chu, and Lu Chunqiu raised their hands together, and Lu Huiqing hesitated a little, then raised her hands too.

"Fan Ning immediately said: "There are already four votes, the discussion is over, and Li Han is in charge of talking with him!" "

Fan Ning himself did not express his opinion. He was just saving face for Wang Anshi, but everyone knew that he would definitely support Li Han. As the chief officer of the Jingdong Road Army, it was necessary for him to give his subordinates a chance.
