Chapter 104
Luo Zining selected more than a dozen officials, both men and women, and one of them was a woman who was capable of handling affairs. Luo Zining arranged for her to be the magistrate there, and also assigned her an assistant.
He also assigned 200 people from the patrol team to go with them to replace the Yamen over there.
Before they went, Luo Zining asked everyone's opinions. If he didn't want to go there, he didn't have to go. He would choose other candidates. But he also made it clear that this transfer was a test for them.There is room for higher advancement.
They were all young people, full of enthusiasm, and their fighting spirit was aroused by Luo Zining's words. None of them retreated. After receiving the order, they went home to pack their luggage and prepare to go.
The female magistrate was named Ye Qianer, and Ye Qianer's family members didn't quite agree with her going to such a far place. At the beginning, when she went to take the imperial examination, her family members disagreed with all kinds of attacks, saying that she should marry when she was a woman.At her age, she should be safe and stable, find a man who works in the same factory as her, and live a normal life. If those men know that her heart is higher than the sky, and she wants to be an official all day long, they will scare away those unmarried men, No one likes a strong woman.
When Ye Qian'er heard this, she thought that those men who were scared away had too low self-esteem, that's why she didn't dare to be with people who were better than herself. She would not spend her whole life with such low self-esteem and unmotivated men.
She signed up for the exam secretly, and passed the exam secretly on the day of the exam. Even the training for passing the exam was hidden from her family. She didn't know until she really became an official. After her parents found out, they immediately wanted to arrest her.Find the princess, and tell the princess that his child can't be an official. If something happens to their family and they can't afford it, it's better to let her go back and continue to be an ordinary female worker.
Later, she was the one who frightened her family, saying that she had signed a five-year contract with the concubine, and if she broke the contract, she would have to pay hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages.
The family members were very frightened when they heard this, and they didn't dare to talk about looking for the princess. Later, seeing that she was just a low-level official, they let her go.
Now heard that she is going to go out of the city to such a far place, her parents are at home desperately trying not to let her go, saying that she is a woman who does not get married and runs around outside every day, she will definitely be bullied by men outside, and also said how could the princess beLet her be the magistrate by a woman, and she travels with so many men, maybe the princess is asking her to be a relief tool for the men who are traveling with her. What is the difference between that and sex, and they also said a lot of ugly words.
Ye Qian'er simply left without her parents, and set off with the large army.
When they set off, the people who went with them kindly gave her advice: "The east side is no better than ours. The people there are still uncivilized. When they see you as a woman who used to be an official, they will definitely look down on you and won't listen to your orders.", and maybe even do some nasty things to you, why donโt you pretend to be a man first, and wait until the people over there are convinced of you, and then you restore the womanโs appearance, so that they will feel better.โ
Ye Qian'er snorted disdainfully: "As a woman, I can be an official. This is the right that the princess has won for us women. If I pretend to be a man, even if I really have the ability to convince people, they will only accept it."You will think that I have such outstanding abilities because I am like a man, and then even if I am a woman, no one will treat me as a woman, so this will not live up to the painstaking efforts of the princess?"
Luo Zining came to see her off, and couldn't help but applaud her when she heard her words, she was indeed the one he chose.
...
After Luo Zining sent this group of people away, another big event happened, which was related to the vassal king to the west.
Previously, the feudal lord in the west sent Cai Yuanzhou to try to capture Luo Zining and threaten Huo Lingzhi, but failed, and Cai Yuanzhou was tortured to death by Huo Lingzhi.
After Huo Lingzhi tortured people to death, he did not dispose of Cai Yuanzhou's body casually, but packed Cai Yuanzhou's body and sent it to the feudal lord in the west.
Cai Yuanzhou is still the sworn brother recognized by the vassal king. Although they are not blood related brothers, the two are closer than blood related brothers.
After Huo Lingzhi sent his brother's body over there, he was so angry that he wanted to run over to Huo Lingzhi to avenge his brother. Fortunately, he was stopped by other subordinates, so he didn't do anything impulsive.
At that time, all his confidantes told him that their strength could not beat Huo Lingzhi at all. In the past, the two vassal kings who fought against Huo Lingzhi together were not Huo Lingzhi's opponent, let alone him now.
The vassal king in the east died so quickly because their city walls were not as strong as the one in the west, and the terrain was not as steep as theirs. If their side was the same as the east side, they would have been razed to the ground by Huo Lingzhi long ago.
Their advantage is defending the city, not taking the initiative to attack. Now that they failed to assassinate the princess, it would be good to pray that Huo Lingzhi would not attack them in a fit of anger. They must not take the initiative to provoke trouble.
Some confidantes persuaded him to surrender with Huo Lingzhi to save his life, but the feudal lord was stubborn and unwilling to surrender to Huo Lingzhi, so he suppressed his anger and remained quiet for a while.
During his quiet period, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Later, Huo Lingzhi didn't bother him, and he thought that Huo Lingzhi didn't love his princess that much.
If he had Huo Lingzhi's military strength, whoever dared to bully his beloved, he would definitely not suffer from this kind of uselessness, and would have sent troops to fight a long time ago.
Now Huo Lingzhi did nothing, which not only proved that Huo Lingzhi didn't love the princess that much, but also made people laugh at him, thinking that he might be seriously injured after fighting a few battles, and he didn't dare to fight again.
In fact, Huo Lingzhi wanted to kill the vassal king of the west at that time, and sending Cai Yuanzhou's body in the past was just a preview, but after killing Cai Yuanzhou, he saw his little princess managing Lincheng and the extra territorySo tired, but also to cultivate new talents, a bunch of things to do.
He saw that the little princess was under so much pressure, and she was unwilling to put all the burden on Luo Zining alone. Anyway, the vassal king in the west would be wiped out sooner or later. To vent his anger on Luo Zining, he would stay by Luo Zining's side first.Let's solve the immediate problem together.
Huo Lingzhi had long regarded the throne as something in his pocket, but now he has a concern. Now that they occupy only a small area, the pressure on Luo Zining is already so great. If he directly returns to the capital,Luo Zining may have to face more pressure.
Now the time has not yet come, he is waiting for the best time.
When winter came, Luo Zining's work decreased. Huo Lingzhi watched Luo Zining return to the time when he was lying on the rocking chair and eating persimmons every day..
Although the terrain there is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack, they have explosives.
When they transported the explosives, the feudal lord to the west didn't dare to go out of the city to stop him, and the vassal king to the west still thought that their city walls were strong, so as long as they didn't leave the city, Huo Lingzhi would have nothing to do with them.
Although this year is another disaster year, the situation of his fiefdom is not very good, but it is not good for the common people, and it has little effect on him as a feudal lord. He is still dressed in rich clothes and delicacies.
One day he was drinking and watching the dancers dance, when he suddenly heard a thunder that was louder than a loud thunder. He was wondering how he could still hear thunder in winter, and he felt a wave of shaking, like the skyThe ground collapsed.
He covered his head in fear and hid under the table. Before he could realize what was going on, he heard the beeping of horseshoes coming towards him again.
Huo Lingzhi broke the city and did not harm the people after he entered the city. The people also expected him to come. The people had heard that the princess had given holy water to the villagers, so that the grain that was about to freeze to death would be harvested.I want the princes and concubines to occupy their fief as soon as possible, so that they can also live a good life with enough food and clothing.
Now that Huo Lingzhi had entered the city, they all cheered happily.
Huo Lingzhi went straight to the palace, arrested the vassal king, killed his whole family and hung them on the city wall for public display.
He wasn't just venting his anger, but he wanted to show it to others, and that's what would happen if he wanted to hurt his little concubine.
The last time Cai Yuanzhou pressed a knife against Luo Zining's neck, he still can't forget it, and sometimes he still sees this scene in his nightmares.
The nightmare is more terrifying than the reality. In reality, Luo Zining did not die, and even solved Cai Yuanzhou, but in the nightmare, his little princess was killed over and over again. Although it was just a nightmare, he still couldn't bear the loss.Princess' pain.
He understands that his love for Luo Zining is so obvious that many people know that Luo Zining is his weakness, so not only the princes in the west have the idea of catching Luo Zining and threatening him, but also many peopleHave this idea.
Now he brutally killed Cai Yuanzhou and the vassal king in the west, just to show others that if he wanted to attack his little princess, he would end up like this.
What he did really shocked many people who plotted against the law, and the story of Cai Yuanzhou's sudden disappearance in front of so many people and his tragic death spread far and wide. Everyone knows that the princess is not an ordinary person.Can't hide in a hurry.
Huo Lingzhi occupied another piece of fief. After occupying the fief this time, he directly gathered all the officials together and checked them one by one. If the good ones were left for the time being, the bad ones would be killed directly, so as not to appear in the future.that situation.
However, it is not that the officials who stayed temporarily will be fine, but they will all be taken away to the school for training, and the vacant positions will be replaced by people sent by the fiefdom.
The original officials of the western fiefdom did not have any privileges when they went to school. They started to study, take exams and practice from scratch like all students. If they could not graduate from school, they would not be qualified to be officials in the future.
Among the 500 brothel girls sent to the eastern fief last time, many of them had strong academic ability and had already graduated and passed the exam. Luo Zining had arranged for them to temporarily practice in the fief on their own, and then send them to the western fief after their internshipWhen I took office, those who did not pass the initial stage were not sent back, but were arranged to work in the factory.
Luo Zining changed the original government case-handling mode. In the past, he had to beat the drums and get promoted. He couldn't handle a few cases a day, and the common people didn't dare to go to the Yamen when they had nothing to do.
He has now subdivided several offices. The patrol team is similar to the police station. People can go to the patrol team if they have something to do. There are other offices with different responsibilities.It is better to go in and find the office staff inside to solve the problem, instead of kneeling and looking for the elder to be promoted like before.
Luo Zining built a factory in Lincheng before, and he closed all the brothels in Lincheng, and let the women inside go to work in the factory, and also promulgated a law that no brothels or places similar to brothels are allowed, If anyone dares to disobey his orders, the punishment measures will be very serious.
Many people in Lincheng were very dissatisfied, and a few unconscious people expressed their dissatisfaction in public, and even paraded through the streets to protest. After that, they were arrested, beaten with boards, dragged their bloody bodies, hungThe client's sign has been paraded in the streets for several days, and the others dare not say anything dissatisfied.
Not only Lincheng, but also the two new fiefdoms in the west and east have also synchronized with this law, and have also started to build factories, taking in these brothel girls to work in factories, and poor people can also go to work in factories.
Apart from the Luozining fiefdom, there are too many poor people who can't afford to eat. They are very happy when they hear that factories have been opened in their hometown, looking forward to a better life.
At the same time, the emperor didn't dare to go back to live in the palace. Seeing that Huo Lingzhi's territory was getting bigger and bigger, he was so anxious that his face was full of acne. He wanted to ask a few more princes for help, but this time no one helped him.up.
Most of those vassal kings had a rebellious heart, but if they were facing Huo Lingzhi, they would be silent.
If they didn't fight against Huo Lingzhi, they would still be princes with their own fiefdom and a good life. If they fought against Huo Lingzhi, they would lose their heads. They are smart enough not to be so overwhelmed.
The vassal kings don't help the emperor, and the people everywhere can't bear the years of disasters. They heard that Huo Lingzhi's fiefdom has a bumper harvest. Not only are their harvests small, but their taxes are high, they hope that Huo Lingzhi will quickly occupy them.s position.
In some places, they couldn't wait for Huo Lingzhi to come, so they first united to overthrow the local government, and then sent people to contact Huo Lingzhi, hoping that Huo Lingzhi would send troops to protect them quickly, and that the princess would give them holy water, so thatThey will have a good harvest next year, and the people who don't farm also hope that the princess will come to them to open a factory and give them job opportunities.
