Ming politicians

() When it comes to Luoyang, Henan, everyone knows it. There is a saying that describes Luoyang as the number of eight prefectures in Kyushu.Luoyang is known as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, together with Beijing, Xi'an, and Nanjing, it is also known as the four ancient capitals of China, and is known as the main birthplace of Chinese civilization.

There are countless tourist attractions in Luoyang. The famous Longmen Grottoes, Shaolin Temple, White Horse Temple, etc. are all located in Luoyang, and these places are also the most important manifestations of Chinese civilization.

The government of Henan Province is located in Luoyang City.

Su Tiancheng is not familiar with such a famous city.

Before crossing, he had never been to Luoyang, and after crossing, he did not focus on Luoyang.

Henan Prefecture has thirteen counties under its jurisdiction, and Luoyang County is just one of them, but many people like to use Luoyang instead of Henan.

After entering the territory of Henan Province, Su Tiancheng's mood was not very good, walking along the official road all the way, seeing many scenes made him feel completely better. <It’s over, but there are still refugees on the official road. This is a very rare situation. If it is not for desperation, who would want to wander outside, not to mention the weather is so cold. One can imagine the fate of these refugees.

Su Tiancheng used to provide disaster relief in Henan, and his idea at that time was to stabilize the whole of Henan. According to this idea, he carried out the disaster relief matters, and achieved some results in a short period of time, but this time when he returned to Henan, the emotions he saw, Chilled him.This cannot be blamed on the common people. The government has a great responsibility for such a situation.

In the twelfth lunar month, snow had already begun to fall in many places in Henan, but the refugees I saw along the way were still wearing thin clothes and unkempt, especially some filial sons, who looked very pitiful.

When Su Tiancheng was in Henan for disaster relief, because he beheaded the nephew of the magistrate of Mengjin County, he suffered crazy revenge.He was almost killed, and the officials in Henan did not have a good impression of him, and the memorials for impeachment continued, which fully demonstrated that the administration of officials in this place is very bad.

As the saying goes.Poor, noisy and hungry, the poorer the place, the more problems there are. On the contrary, in those rich places, the people have food, food and clothing.Many problems were glossed over.

In these years, the north has encountered major disasters. In such years, officials should be more concerned about the lives of the people, but the actual practice is definitely not like this.

Walking along the road, the Jiangning camp rescued many refugees.But such assistance is limited. If we really want to stabilize these refugees, we still need them to return to their hometowns and carry out production in a down-to-earth manner. Only then can there be hope.

Su Pingyang kept an eye out, and while helping these victims, he also specifically asked where they were from, and some refugees told the truth.Some refugees were unwilling to answer.

Moreover, the refugees have a sense of awe towards the sergeants, and when they see a large group of people, they all hide away.

Su Tiancheng also discovered this. After entering Kaifeng Mansion, they found an elderly refugee and asked about the situation in detail.The old man was reluctant to speak at first, but he finally opened his mouth when he saw Su Tiancheng and others with a friendly attitude.

turn out to be.A place in Henan was attacked by rogues. The imperial court often mobilized troops from other places to enter Henan to eliminate the rogues. The discipline of these troops was very bad, and they often regarded the refugees as rogues. The common people were afraid of the imperial army. In some places, the people even hoped go to them.

Su Tiancheng immediately thought of the matter of killing the good and taking the credit.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he and Qu Qingze went on a trip. They met various government offices, refused refugees to enter the city, did not provide assistance to the refugees, and even expelled the refugees, not allowing them to enter their jurisdiction.

These years, he has always been in the south, rarely paying attention to the affairs of the north. The imperial court has mobilized large armies several times to enter Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places to wipe out the bandits. God knows how the military discipline of these armies is.

Refugees can't tell lies, besides, there are a lot of things about killing good people and pretending to be meritorious.

What he saw along the way made Su Tiancheng feel that his burden was too heavy.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the brigade entered Luoyang County, Henan Province. During the festival, Su Tiancheng was unwilling to bother the county. After entering the area under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture, the speed of the brigade increased a lot, and they hardly stopped.

There are still more than ten miles away from Luoyang County, and the general judge of Henan Prefecture, along with many officials from the government office, waited beside the official road.

The magistrates and co-prefects of Henan Prefecture were all transferred away, and the general judge temporarily presided over all matters.

The general judge named Tan Changluo, in his 40s, tall and big, in line with the standards of northerners. After exchanging pleasantries, Su Tiancheng knew that Tan Changluo was from Shandong, and he was a Jinshi during the Tianqi period.

The place where the Jiangning camp is stationed is two miles away from Luoyang County. It used to be a military camp, and troops from outside to suppress bandits were often stationed here. It was probably renovated by the government office. It looks dilapidated and broken, but the barracks are still high. Tall and big.

The surrounding area was cleaned very cleanly. The thousand soldiers who arrived earlier stood neatly at the gate of the barracks.

Sun Chuanting led the soldiers of the Jiangning camp into the barracks.

There are still many tasks for them, such as renovating the barracks, storing food, gold and silver, and so on.

Su Tiancheng and Tan Changluo went directly to Luoyang County, and there were two hundred soldiers who followed Su Tiancheng into Luoyang County.

The city wall of Luoyang County is very tall and looks really good. After all, it is the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties. <Festival, there are not many people on the street, and there are curious people who stop and watch from a distance. It is impossible for ordinary people to know that an official takes office.

After entering the government office, Su Tiancheng entered the backyard, washed up a bit, settled Gu Hengbo, and went straight to the second hall.

The layout of the government office is similar to that of the county office, and there is almost no difference.

The same goes for all the ceremonies. Su Tiancheng, who has experienced these things, arranged them in an orderly manner, receiving official seals, dispatching the warehouse, listening to the general situation introduction, and so on.

At noon, everyone went directly to the restaurant for the banquet.

A total of more than ten officials from Henan Province, large and small, participated.

Su Tiancheng always had a smile on his face, without putting on any airs.

All matters ended, already in the afternoon Youshi.

Su Tiancheng didn't go back directly to the government office, he wanted to take a look at the streets and alleys of Luoyang. He just arrived here, and with awe for the famous historical city, he took a good look at this famous historical city. From now on, he will govern here .

Today's Luoyang County is far from the Luoyang City hundreds of years later.

After an hour, Su Tianchengji walked the entire Luoyang County, perhaps because his expectations were too high, he was a little disappointed.

Following Tan Changluo's introduction, he understood that the city of Luoyang County is not big, and it takes only nine miles to go around the city. The population of the county is only over 9, which is not comparable to that of Jiangning County, and is not on the same level.

Inside the county town, there are mainly Shizi Streets, thus forming four streets in the southeast, northwest, and four corners on the basis of the four streets, namely Dongguan, Xiguan, Nanguan, Beiguan, and Southwest and Northwest corners. corner, southeast corner, northeast corner.

The residence of the population is basically concentrated, and it is distributed throughout the county.

The government is mainly concentrated in Dongguan, and most of the houses are concentrated in Nanguan and Xiguan. The so-called entertainment industry is mainly concentrated in Beiguan.

As the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, the living here is also distinct.

Most of Nanguan concentrated rich gentry and wealthy households, while Xiguan mainly consisted of ordinary people.

There is another situation that Su Tiancheng did not expect.

This vassal king lives here, and he is a famous vassal king.

This vassal king is Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.

Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is famous for his greed, and he is very close to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. According to the progress of history, after Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang City, he killed Zhu Changxun, who was very angry with the people, and used his blood to make the "Fu King". Lu wine".

Zhu Changxun's son is equally famous. His son Zhu Yousong, after Zhu Youjian committed suicide, later became the emperor of Nanming.

The situation in Nanzhili is different. Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, does not have a vassal king. Therefore, Su Tiancheng has never directly faced the vassal king.

Although my brother-in-law is the king of Jin, Zhu Shenzheng, he is the king of Jin, and he is the emperor's brother-in-law.br>

After returning to the government office, Su Tiancheng was not in a good mood.

He mainly thought of the matter of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.

Regardless of whether the historical records are true or not, this Zhu Changxun’s reputation is indeed not good. The main reason is that he is greedy. Close blood relationship, received a lot of care.

Su Tiancheng faintly felt that after he came to Henan Mansion, the first thing he had to face was Zhu Changxun, the King of Fortune. Zhu Changxun might be involved in the reforms he wanted to implement and many things he wanted to do.

The saying that feudal kings have no political status also varies from person to person, and the royal family does not treat all feudal kings like pigs, at least locally, feudal kings still have great power.

Speaking of it, Luoyang is Zhu Changxun's fiefdom, so Zhu Changxun annexed land here, smuggled and smuggled, and acted mischievously. I am afraid that the government will not interfere, at least not on the surface.But these things are a fatal blow to economic development. If you can't manage this relationship well, you may not be able to do anything well.

The military victory is only the tip of the iceberg. If you want to completely solve the problem, the most important thing is the people's livelihood. The common people can't have enough food and clothing, and they can't eat enough. No matter how you suppress it, some people will still rebel.

Confronting the vassal king is not what Su Tiancheng is willing to do. He is a newcomer, and the most important thing is to maintain a stable situation, focus on economic development, and stabilize the people in Henan Province.As for the matter of the vassal king, I can put it aside for the time being. Besides, Zhu Changxun has always lived in Luoyang, and the relationship is intertwined. Even if he has no choice but to do it, he must also consider various conditions.
