Chapter 9: Xianfeng South Tour (5)

Chunshou also received news in the mansion. He was not even dressed neatly, so he hurried to the garden, and called Bixia with Sushun and asked her. The girl stuttered for a long time before the two of them knew what was going on.

It turns out that women like Danxia and Bixia who have practiced Kung Fu since childhood have thin waists and long legs, graceful and colorful, but they are actually not good at it!

After practicing martial arts for many years, the flesh on his body was extremely hard, not much less than that of a man, and was far from the gentleness of his daughter's family; especially when Chuchu was sleeping, he was nervous and unconsciously used his strength, and his shoulders and arms were as hard as stones! Naturally, he was not happy with the emperor. Of course, he might have the intention of not being able to win the emperor elsewhere, but she didn't say it, and Sushun was too lazy to ask.

After sending Bixia out, Chunshou looked sad and asked Sushun for advice: "Sir, look, what did you say? It's so good..."

"Shut up!" Su Shun was in a bad mood! He looked up at the sky and it was getting brighter. Not to mention that there was nowhere to find a woman who could make the emperor "fire" for a while, even if there was a woman, I was afraid that the emperor would not summon him.

"Sir, do you see?" Tsubasaki looked annoyed: "It's so good, it's just like this?"

Su Shun turned around suddenly and stared at Chunshou viciously: "You mean I didn't pay attention to my actions, so I had today's negligence?"

"Ah, I dare not! Humble position means that this is all humble position and unscrupulous, and I work hard..."

Su Shun snorted a few times, turned around, ignored him, held his cheeks, and was thinking about his ideas. Liufu tiptoed out at the opening of the palace gate. Chunshou hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Eunuch Lu, master..."

"Shh." Liu Fu made a gesture of silence: "Just just went to bed. Let's go there and talk."

When he arrived at a secluded place, Liufu smiled and sighed, "I said, Lord Tsubasa?"

"I dare not, my father-in-law called me Zimi."

"Brother Zimi," Liu Fu changed his words and said, "This matter, hey! What should I say? The emperor was in a tight mood, and he didn't want to be flattered for Bixia, and he was completely gentle, which made the master's depression difficult to calm down. I still don't know what will happen after waking up?"

Chunshou was even more scared, "Then, then, please tell me a few words of kindness to my son in front of the emperor?"

Sushun knew that Liufu wanted to take the opportunity to get the money again. Most eunuchs love money. It was not surprising that there was such a good opportunity now, so he would not let it go easily. However, he had other plans.

As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth, Su Shun also loves money very much. Even though the emperor ordered it repeatedly, he could not stand the fatigue and slipperyness of the money he sent to the mansion every year on different reasons. I don’t know how much money he sent to the mansion - after eight years, he also gained tens of millions of dollars.

However, Su Shun has a principle of collecting money. In addition to the red envelopes for ice and charcoal and 3rd and 2nd birthdays, those who ask for help must ask for it clearly and ask for it. If you ask for it, you will only accept it if you think it is not possible. No matter how much money you send, you will never accept it.

This is to not be a greedy person, and secondly, to be able to make a request in front of the emperor. If he refutes it repeatedly, others will spend money on it without any reward. Over time, there will naturally be fewer people who come to ask for it.

This time, the same is true. Although the emperor said nothing on the surface, the unhappiness in his heart is conceivable. And more importantly, Chongshi is about to arrive. The emperor always attaches great importance to his own student. It can be said that no matter how serious Chunshou is, he will always find a way to forgive him for Chongshi's face. Liufu doesn't know if he can't see this, but he still threatens him. If Chongshi knows about each other's face in the future, he is afraid that they will not look good.

After thinking about this, Sushun reached out and stopped him: "Xiao Lu, Zi Mi, let's talk about this later. Xiao Lu, go ahead and tell Zai Yuan and the others that they will be delayed for a while today. When will the emperor wake up and when will he talk?"

Liufu didn't know why he sent him out, but he didn't satisfy himself. He held his breath in his heart, glanced at the two of them a few times, and turned around and went out.

The sun was shining brightly, and the emperor felt a heat in front of his eyes, and turned around and opened his eyes: "When is it?"

"Go back to Master, it's just past Si Shi. Master Wansui slept late yesterday, should I sleep for a while?"

"It's dawn and I can't sleep anymore." The emperor sat up from the gauze tent and rubbed his eyes, "By the way, has anyone handed in the sign?"

"Go back to the master, Lord Long Mao, who came from Sichuan, came to see him, just handed in the sign, and the slave told him that the master had just fallen asleep, Lord Chong said that when the master woke up, come and greet him."

"Chongshi is here? So fast?" The emperor showed his sincere smile as old friends met: "Go, tell me that Chongshi is coming in, I want to see him."

"twitter."

Chongshi was released as an official at the beginning of the fourth year of Xianfeng, and served as a position in Chengmianlongmao Road. This position was very special. In the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan had six roads, namely East Sichuan, North Sichuan, Yongning, Kang'an, Jianchang and Chengmianlongmao Roads.

Although Long Maodao ranks at the end, it actually ranks first, with two direct prefectures under its jurisdiction, including Chengdu, Long'an Prefectures, Mianzhou, and Maozhou. Its headquarters is Chengdu and works in the same city as the Governor.

Like Zhili, Sichuan has no governor, so Long Maodao's authority seems to be extremely powerful. If we only look at the title of Taotai, there is no way to become Mianlong Maodao.

Chongshi was appointed by the emperor to send such a title before his thirty years, which attracted the attention of the people of the world. Everyone in Sichuan knew that he was the number one person in the world with the Manchu clan. After the breakup, he entered the southern study room and was called the most close friend to the emperor. This time, the emperor was willing to train him. I am afraid that in less than a few years, even the governor of Sichuan would take off his robe and give way.

So when Chongshi performed his duties, Sichuan Governor Wang Qingyun personally went out of the city to greet him, giving him a full face. Who would have thought that Chongshi would not avoid meeting them, and only brought a book boy and a family member, riding a horse, quietly walked around the city and entered the city through the side gate.

Governor Wang and his group rushed to the vain. When they returned to the Governor's Mansion, they realized that the new Taoist Chongshi had already handed over the book and then went back to Guanshi to rest. Wang Qingyun sent someone to invite him, Chongshi came to the mansion to pay his respects. After the dying, Chongshi proposed to receive the seal tomorrow and go on a patrol the day after tomorrow.

Wang Qingyun did not dare to neglect his subordinates who were much younger than him: "Brother Baishui has been running all the way, and I will take care of business for a few days. When everything becomes familiar, it is not too late to do inspections again, right?"

Chongshi was unwilling to become a reputation for being arrogant because of favor, so he stopped insisting and agreed.

This time, Emperor Jian sent him to work in Sichuan, and he did have the intention of giving him some experience. Another meaning is that in the deserted areas of Sichuan, hundreds of ethnic groups live in the province. It can be said that except for the Manchus, almost all ethnic groups in China can find traces in Sichuan. This kind of ethnic group, with completely different customs and habits, will inevitably lead to conflicts of big and small. Let Chongshi go through it, and it is precisely to take advantage of his emperor's power to carefully sort it out.

Before leaving, the emperor found Chongshi in the Mirror Hall in the Old Summer Palace and said to him: "Since the Yongzheng period, Ortai asked for an order to handle the method of changing land and returning to the land, although he was very good at the people, after the century of conflict, he was afraid that Sichuan would be the place outside Chenghua as before. After you arrive in Sichuan, go and take a look. Whether it is recruiting, comforting, or Xuanfu, once there are really people who plunder the people, they will report to me one by one. For these disabled people, you don't have to be afraid of killing people, nor do you have to do any tricks to kill chickens and warn monkeys. As long as there is evidence, no matter how big or small the official position, whether it is imprisoned, whether it is a prisoner, or abolished, or accused, I will not be ruthless at all."

"Yes." Chongshi replied: "The slave is the master's slave. If other bastards below have evidence, they will never dare to act favorably."

"As for the purely good chieftains in the province," the emperor laughed a few times: "If there is, you will also give me a memorial and the court will naturally have good rewards and encouragement - with the same kindness and power as the Central Plains, I think that in less than a few years, Sichuan Province will be able to inquire about the great governance like a place where the literary style of the Central Plains is prosperous."

******************************

In my opinion, the change of land and return to the current can be regarded as the first good policy implemented during the 13th year of Yongzheng's administration. Historical achievements are still greater than other favorable policies such as checking the accumulation of money and grain, and distributing minus acres. Although something happened later against my wishes, it is impossible to call it a grand achievement to pursue its original intention.

In this section, I will introduce a few sentences.

******************************

The Han and Seedlings, a place bordering the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, have the most complex geographical and personnel affairs. Since the Ming Dynasty, they have only been tolerant and seek nothing. In the Qing Dynasty, they still dare not easily catch themselves with the great talent of the Holy Ancestor, and they can also imagine that they can be seen.

The first method of changing land and returning to the current in Ortai was geography. Among them, the Sichuan Tufu, such as Dongchuan, Wumeng, Zhenxiong, etc. were originally under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, but they were very far from Chengdu, but they were much closer to Yunnan.

In the third year of Yongzheng, Wumeng attacked Dongchuan. The Xuanfu envoy of Dongchuan reported to Sichuan that he was anxious and asked to send troops to help. When the military order from Chengdu Prefecture arrived, Wumeng's local soldiers had already repelled the Yunnan soldiers who had arrived to support after hearing the news.

In view of this, the imperial court issued an edict to subscribe the above three prefectures under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province to facilitate the acquisition of local advantages. Among them, Dongchuan is today's Huize, Yunnan, and Qiaojia counties; Wumeng was changed to Zhaotong Prefecture; Zhenxiong was demoted to Zhili Prefecture and was affiliated to Yidong Road.

After geography, personnel matters were mainly the chieftains' levies and taxes on the local people. Before Yongzheng, the chieftains were the local emperors, and they almost madly oppressed the local people. Taking Wumeng as an example, the court had to collect as usual as more than 300 taels of money and grain per year, while the chieftains collected no less than a hundred times! They all spent their own pockets.

That's not all. If the chieftain's family gets married, the local people will not dare to marry within three years. The plunder is poor, so they dare not do weddings. Once they do it, they will have to borrow money. Once they have borrowed money, they will not know when and what month they will be able to pay off the loan.

In addition to exploiting property, the worse thing is the corruption of the judicial system. When a certain native citizen is killed, the chieftain not only does not seek justice for it, but instead asks the family members of the deceased to pay. This money is called "padding a knife" - so dark, if the reform is not possible, how can the world be peaceful?

When I went to Ortai to work in Sichuan, I promoted the method of changing the land and returning to the current. To briefly explain, it was to take all the administrative jurisdiction and judicial judicial powers that originally belonged to the chieftains. The chieftains only retained the title of a short seller.

In order to avoid the disobedience of the chieftains in the province, Ortai Zhimiao proposed a strategy of suppressing one army, which in his words was: "'You must convince your heart at the moment, and you will still be brave enough for a hundred years."

However, Ortai's opponents are not easy to share. These opponents are not the Miao people's chieftains, but the Han people who traveled in Sichuan Province and were responsible for dealing with merchants. Seeing that there was oil and water to be reaped, they stopped selling salt and tea and instead became traitors!

Before Miaojiang was opened, Sichuan salt was consumed more, and Sichuan salt was borne by the Han people. When Ortai wanted to send troops to suppress illegal chieftains in Miaojiang, these people found a big plan to make money! On the surface, they reported to the government on the grounds of familiar geography and connections, and obtained a bounty. They turned around and informed the chieftains, instigated them to avoid them, and extorted money. This way, they pleased each other and made profits, and naturally made a lot of money.

Ortai was deceived several times at the beginning, but later after someone's guidance, he realized that his traitor was so angry that he gritted his teeth and arrested salt and tea dealers in the province. I don't know how many good people who were originally obedient and obedient were suffering from the disaster.

Later, the situation finally eased. The chieftains and Tume (equivalent to the chief of a small tribe) were granted the imperial court the Tu magistrate and the Tu magistrate county, and could no longer be the Tu magistrate. The exploitation of the Tu gu tu gu people was gradually decreasing. The people of Miao and Xinjiang in the four provinces all felt the grace of the court.

However, a bigger problem arose, that is, most of the military officers guarding various places were greedy and tyrannical. Therefore, in the eighth year of Yongzheng, Wu Meng first launched an uprising, killing officials and rebelling, but even his family refused to let go, and they killed Miao Min, who was bullied by the Han people on weekdays.

(After writing this, I feel particularly evil. When the chieftains bullied the people, the people could tolerate it. After the officials sent Han civil and military officials to the province, they felt that they could not bear it? It really gave people the feeling that oranges were born in Huainan and oranges were born in Huainan.)

At the same time, the Miao people in Zhenxiong, Dongchuan and other places responded, and the matter was very troubled. Ortai once again sent troops to suppress the enemy, and the killing was extremely cruel. Ortai originally wanted to learn from the story of Wuhou capturing Meng Huo seven times, but the final result was like Huang Chao and Zhang Xianzhong. Although it was calmed down for a while, it also laid the foreshadowing of the Miao people rebelled in the spring of the 13th year of Yongzheng.

After Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang dynasties all were all worried about the Miaojiang incident. The Xianfeng School Chongshi arrived in Sichuan and took half a year to conduct a thorough investigation and gained some understanding of the actual situation.
