    These people under Wang Ziteng are all trained men, like ordinary army sergeants under Lu Ping. They can fight one against ten without any problem, let alone ordinary people.

    Wang Ziteng thought that he would never return to Haijiang, so he handed over this power to Jia Lian.

    Jia Lianyin asked Wang Xin: "What do these people do for a living now?"

    Wang Xin said: "They all have legitimate livelihoods in the local area, and there is no problem in supporting themselves."

    Jia Lian nodded: "That's good. Are you usually responsible for contacting them?"

    Wang Xin nodded: "Yes, my official identity is the nursing home of Liansheng Trading House. I will summarize the following information and then hand it over to the master. If I have something to tell you, I can ask someone to go to the trading house to find it.  small."

    Jia Lian nodded and said: "I want information about the eight prefects, as well as the local tyrants and evil gentry who followed them to cause trouble."

    Wang Xin took out a roll of rice paper as thin as cicada wings from his sleeve.

    Jia Lian led Wang Xin and Jia Ling to Houya. Jia Lian wanted to understand the latest situation in Haijiang as soon as possible.

    Jia Lian immediately smiled when he saw it. It turned out that these eight people had accepted offerings from the local gentry every year.

    Even in the past few years, the Japanese pirates continued to make trouble, but last year Jia Lian tightened the control, and they offered less.

    "That's why they were resentful towards Jia Lian. Jia Lian was on the front foot, and they were making trouble on the back foot. This was not only a disgrace to the new governor, but also a smear on Jia Lian's face.

    Jia Lian suddenly realized that it was strange that Zhang's uncle had to push his nephew out, and spared no effort to promote himself. Once an official leaves officialdom, it is really terrible to have no successor.  The successor holds great power, and it is too easy to discredit the predecessor.

    Jia Lian smiled and said, "Well done."

    Then he summoned Jia Ling and said, "This is Wang Xin from Liansheng Trading Company. From now on, you and he will jointly manage the intelligence of the sea area."

    After Jia Ling left, Jia Lian called Zhao'er who was in charge of foreign affairs. He handed Wang Ziteng's network map and tokens to Zhao'er and said: "Go to these areas to explore and meet them. From now on, you will have their help when you go out."  It¡¯s also cheap.¡±

    Zhao'er took the order and went out, and Xing'er came after hearing the news.

    Jia Lian told Xing'er: "Wang Xin, you have to get along well with him. Jia Ling will eventually return to Kyoto, so you should be more careful. Also, for Wang Xin, give him a management bonus every month at the Governor's Yamen. Also,  Go and ask if the little leopard is back, and ask Yingjun to come see me."

    Young Shi Xing'er brought Lu Yingjun here, but the little leopard hasn't arrived yet.

    Although Lu Yingjun is not as experienced as Little Leopard, he can only rely on him for the time being.

    Jia Lian ordered his son-in-law: "Set out overnight and surround these government offices. If there are any local tyrants and evil gentry who are making trouble, catch them all. Also, send troops to cut off all exit routes and not allow anyone to escape. Just arrest them all."  Send out all your troops. If you don't have enough, ask your father to borrow them. This is my governor's order. You can act with convenience."

    Lu Yingjun suddenly felt his blood boiling and sang loudly before leaving.

    Jia Lian sent his personal guards to follow Lu Yingjun's army to act as messengers: "Bring the carrier pigeons with you. Once Yingjun succeeds, you will release the carrier pigeons!"

    The next day, Jia Lian sat in battle to supervise the Yamen. At ten o'clock in the morning, carrier pigeons flew back one after another. Jia Lian was very satisfied. It seemed that the progress was going well.

    Subsequently, Jia Yun's carrier pigeon also arrived. Jia Yun had already returned to Quanzhou Prefecture under the escort of his own soldiers, captured the anti-tax prefect, and replaced him.

    Subsequently, Jia Yun promised not to increase taxes and that the public land under the government's name would still be leased to tenants and farm laborers at a fair price, and then the people of Quanzhou Prefecture retreated.

    After that, Jia Yun cooperated with Lu Yingjun's troops to control the surrounding Xinghua and Zhangzhou.  The prefect of Fuzhou was Feng Ziying's uncle. He did not participate in the family's tax resistance. He cooperated with Lu Yingjun to pacify Jianning, Yanping, and Ningde.

    After Jia Lian had all the five Fujian governments pacified, he led the subordinate officials of the Governor's Yamen to the Governor's Yamen in Suzhou.

    At this moment, Zhang Xunfu¡¯s face turned pale with fear.

    As soon as Jia Lian showed up, he was recognized by many people, because Jia Lian has been very close to the people in Fujian and Zhejiang in recent years. He often visits the fields to check crops, and even goes to the villages to talk to farmers.

    It was Jia Lian¡¯s virtue that the officials went to the fields and merged into the warehouses. As soon as the leader saw Jia Lian, he knelt down and said, "Sir, you are back. We will not survive!"

    As soon as he shouted, many people shouted after him.

    Jia Lian leaned forward and stood on the saddle, making calm movements with his hands: "Folks, be quiet, please listen to me."

    Jia Lian¡¯s words were so powerful that they could be heard by everyone present.?

    The noise suddenly quieted down.

    Jia Lian said: "Let me tell you, the government's policy of leasing land remains unchanged, and taxes remain unchanged. You go home to prepare fertilizer seeds and prepare them for sowing in the east. Do you comply?"

    As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, someone asked: "Master Jia, you are back as governor again, right?"

    Jia Lian nodded: "Yes, my grandmother passed away and I was keeping filial piety at home. When the emperor heard that there were changes in Fujian and Zhejiang, he wanted me to regain my love and restore my official position!"

    As soon as these words came out, the people cheered thunderously.

    "Master Jia is back"

    "The policy will not change"

    "Very good¡­¡­"

    "There is hope"

    Before leaving, every citizen kowtowed to Jia Lian and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

    In just a moment, the people who had besieged the governor's Yamen for three days were all gone.

    At this time, Governor Zhang came out and saw that all the people had left. His bent waist finally straightened up.  He bowed to Jia Lian and said, "Your Majesty, you have a solution. These mud legs are really scary!"

    Jia Lian smiled and said: "The people are actually very easy to appease, as long as you give them enough food and clothing!"

    Governor Zhang looked stern: "That's right!"

    Jia Lian got off the horse neatly: "I gave this horse to you. You can ride it back to Beijing to plead guilty, lest I catch you and get sentimental."

    Governor Zhang was stunned: ¡°What does it have to do with me if the people are making trouble?¡±

    Jia Lian sneered: "They didn't cause trouble when you didn't come. But when you came, they turned against you and said it had nothing to do with you?"

    Governor Zhang¡¯s face was as pale as pig liver: ¡°I am here for the imperial court¡­¡±

    Jia Lian scoffed: "Bullshit, when will the court ask you to kill the goose and lay the eggs? You have been quiet for two years, and almost started a war again because of you. Do you still have merit?"

    Governor Zhang suddenly became angry: "It's all your family's fault. If it weren't for your Jia Rong trying to squeeze me out, I would fight with me for everything. How could my uncle let me leave the capital? How could I have encountered this?"

    Jia Lian sneered: "Wrong, if you weren't overjoyed and just collected taxes according to last year's regulations, you didn't want to do it even if the people rebelled, but you issued the governor's order to increase taxes. Not only that, you also personally went to  Walking around and reporting to the court, these are proof of your death, and you can't deny it. If you don't care about your face and refuse to go to Beijing to plead guilty, I will have no choice but to take you to Beijing."

    Governor Zhang finally chose to rush to Beijing to plead guilty.

    Jia Lian sent a special person to follow him until he entered Zhang's courtyard.

    Jia Lian's side was simple. First, he arrested the eight prefects and all the local tyrants and evil gentry who resisted the tax and put them in the governor's prison. Then he ransacked the homes of the eight prefects and confiscated their assets in public, and then publicly converted his income to  The difference in assets.

    So obedient, the treasures of the treasures were searched at every family of Zhifu, and the silver tickets that looked at them were silver.

    The richest person is the prefect of Zhangzhou.

    The Zhangzhou magistrate has more than 1.4 million silver hidden in his family. This guy is not satisfied yet. He also wants to gain fame, want to discredit Jia Lian, and climb up the ladder by stepping on Jia Lian.

    The remaining seven prefects have at least 800,000 yuan in their families.  Most of them have assets of around 1.2 million.  In addition to making money, these guys also buy real estate in Fujian and Zhejiang.  The imperial court repeatedly ordered not to buy houses in the local area, but they bought properties in Fujian and Zhejiang. They really didn't know how to live or die.

    Jia Lian placed their assets in the lobby and interrogated them in public: "Three years of clearing the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, you really have one million snowflakes of silver, very good!"

    Jia Lian quickly tried and sentenced them, and then, in accordance with regulations, escorted their assets and themselves to Beijing without trial and questioning.

    These guys are afraid of death this time.

    Jia Lian doesn¡¯t want to get his hands dirty.

    Eight magistrates came to Beijing with nearly tens of millions of dollars, which shocked both the government and the public.

    Under the 108 torture instruments of the Ministry of Punishment and the General Affairs Department, these people explained the origin of the money.

    It turns out that these prefects had made many concessions in the past few years, asking the court to meet with them to pay taxes. They used the guise of making decisions for the people, and the common people did not have to do much tax and corvee work. The taxes collected were generally cheaper than those of the local tyrants and evil gentry, half of the court.  Taxes go into their own pockets.

    The ruling and opposition parties were shaken again.

    Prince Xi was so angry that he was livid. In those years, he and Emperor Qianyuan were stretched thin and moved around, but these guys actually added millions of assets and remained indifferent.

    Therefore, when sentencing, Prince Xi strongly advocated that these corrupt officials be beheaded at the Meridian Gate and hundreds of officials watch their punishment.

    The happiest person is Emperor Jiakang.

    This time, Fujian and Zhejiang vacated the positions of eight prefects, and he just arranged for eight confidants to go to Fujian and Zhejiang for training.  Another reason for happiness is that the stolen money of 10 million has been collected from the national treasury, and the national treasury already has 15 million.

    ¡°However, all this money comes from Fujian and Zhejiang.

    In recent years, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Guizhou have not only been unable to support themselves, but they have also required government assistance for disaster relief.  Emperor Jiakang therefore understood how important a capable and loyal local official was.

    Emperor Jiakang issued an order for Jia Lian to come to Beijing to meet the emperor, so Jia Lian personally escorted Ke Yin to Beijing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; The happiest person is Emperor Jiakang.
