Chapter 1130 Rong Leng’s Subordinates

The book is a roster. Rong Leng showed it to the old man and Fu Hongwang.

The two Fu family members saw the clues as soon as they took a look.

Fu Hongwang said with a livid face: "This should be the list of manpower deployed by my good fourth brother in each yamen. This Zhang Shan is the second-class master of my Yanyun Yamen!"

The two letters in Liu Wei's hand were opened. She read the beginning and her face became heavy.

After Liu Wei read the letter, he passed it around between Rong Leng, Mr. Fu, and Fu Hongwang. After reading it, everyone fell silent.

It wasn't until a moment later that Fu Hongwang raised his voice and sent all the servants out of the house.

When only four people who knew about it were left in the room, and Fu Hongtian was kneeling on the ground shivering, Fu Hongwang asked Fu Hongtian: "Do you know what these things are?"

Fu Hongtian shook his head hurriedly: "No, I don't know, I don't know anything! I have only secretly seen Fourth Brother open the secret compartment, but what is inside, how can I know? How can I know about Fourth Brother's house?" Just come in casually!”

What he said was not unreasonable, but when he thought about the content of the letter, Fu Hongwang still did not relax: "Then what else do you know?"

Fu Hongtian said: "No, I don't know anything. I really don't know. Second...Second brother, you have to believe me. I really don't know..."

Fu Hongtian was originally a fool. He had no guts and no strategy. He was incompetent in literature and martial arts. He was usually just a person with three kinds of teachings and nine grades. He couldn't do anything on the stage. Fu Hongwang believed that he probably really didn't know anything. .

But the matter was too involved, and Fu Hongwang didn't dare to relax easily. He asked Fu Hongtian again and again for a long time, until Fu Hongtian started kowtowing and begging for mercy, crying bitterly, and then stopped.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Wei looked at Fu Hongtian's crying look and said, "He really doesn't know. Let's take him down first."

Fu Hongwang wanted to say something, but Mr. Fu had a serious face and directly ordered: "Hongwang, send Lao Wu back to his room, and then send someone to surround his yard for me. No one is allowed in or out without my order!"

It would be best to put him under house arrest first. Fu Hongwang responded and personally carried Fu Hongtian away.

Two more people were missing from the room. Mr. Fu was still holding the two pieces of letter paper in his hands, his face was pale.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Fu suddenly stood up and knelt down straight towards Rong Leng!

Rong Leng frowned and bent down to help the old man up, but he was stopped by Mr. Fu. The old man, who was over seventy years old, begged in a heavy voice: "This is a catastrophe for the Fu family. Only the prince can save it. I, the old man, are willing to take the whole family with him." Thousands of people are all under the command of the prince, but they are at the command of the prince! I just ask, just ask the prince, to save Fu Mansion this time..."

Rong Leng still helped the old man up, but his sharp eyes looked at the letter in the old man's hand.

Liu Wei spoke up at this time: "The Wu clan's rebellious intentions are clearly exposed, but they are just a small border clan and have nothing to do with the government. However, the two masters in the house are so bold that they dare to directly communicate with the palace..."

Mr. Fu hurriedly interrupted Liu Wei and said: "From today on, the first and fourth bedrooms will never have any contact with my Fu Mansion!"

Liu Wei didn't expect that the old man would be so decisive, but it was true that compared with the prosperity and decline of the whole family's life, the latter was naturally more important.

Liu Wei was silent for a moment and looked at Rong Leng.

Just relying on the fact that he colluded with the Wu Clan, Fu Mansion was already crippled. If he wanted to be completely abolished, he must rely on Rong Leng.

Indirectly, the largest clan in Qingzhou would become Rong Leng's subordinate, but who would have thought that a bigger deal than the Wu clan would be brought to Rong Leng so directly.

The problem of the Witch Clan alone may not be enough for the old man to put aside his face and kneel down in person to seek protection, but with these two letters included, the old man has no choice.

These two letters are not only from Fu Hongda.

One of them was sent to Fu Hongda, and the other one was probably "taken" by Fu Hongda from Fu Hongmei.

There is no name on the signature, only a seal.

All the children of the rich family knew that seal. It was the Queen's Phoenix Seal, which was usually only used in the deep palace.

But these two letters are actually two political orders.

One letter was sent by the Queen to Fu Hongmei a year ago. The letter stated that the Chief Secretary of Qingzhou was required to open the city for disaster relief and bring the refugees who had lost their lives due to floods in Chongzhou to Qingzhou, and then send them to Tongzhou via mountain roads to settle down. There are also requirements as follows: the number of refugees to be rescued must not be less than 50,000, and the number of able-bodied refugees must account for more than 60%.

Another letter was sent to Fu Hongda by the palace two months ago. It was also a rescue letter, asking Fu Hongda to cooperate with various government agencies in Qingzhou to rescue the victims who were devastated by landslides in Anzhou. Using the same method, the number of people rescued in Tongzhou must not be less than 30,000, and this time it is required that more than 80% of them are strong and strong.

Disaster relief and rescue is a great good thing that benefits the country and the people. Not to mention this kind of decree, the queen, as a female, does she have the right to issue it? Even if she doesn't, it is a good thing after all, and it is a good talk to say it.

However, the letter marked the number of rescuers and the number of survivors.

These two requirements are intriguing.

Liu Wei remembered that there were such incidents in Chinese history, including the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period.

During the Five Hus and Sixteenth Kingdoms period, the Central Plains was torn into pieces. The Han people and the Hu people were in chaos, making it difficult for the people to live in the Central Plains.

At that time, the ruler of the Central Plains was the Sima clan. The Sima clan had more than a dozen sons, eight of whom were the most famous. The Eight Princes Rebellion meant that the eight princes each divided themselves into a corner of the Central Plains. The titular emperor above the hall took his place.

Of course, if the eight kings fight against each other, all eight of them must have soldiers. But the country is in war and the people are hungry. Under such circumstances, normal recruitment is obviously not feasible. So what should we do? Just charge troops. The purpose of charge troops is to insert the people into the barracks. There were originally only 30,000 regular soldiers. After mixing with 70,000 strong people, they suddenly became a hundred thousand troops.

Because most of them are common people, these soldiers have no combat experience, but it doesn't matter. If they die, they will use human lives to replace them. War is fought with lives. The lives of common people are not lives, they are ants.

Some refugees who were displaced due to war disasters even thought that their lives could no longer survive, so they would rather exchange their lives for a meal of dry food that their families could feed themselves. If they were lucky enough to survive a battle and survive, they could still be promoted. That way you can eat more dry food and keep everyone in your family fed and clothed.

In troubled times, there is no human nature, and there is only bloodshed caused by everyone's own abilities.

In these two letters from the Queen, the refugees were named, or should they be transported to the same state? Wasn't this taking advantage of natural disasters?

By taking in these displaced refugees and integrating them into her private business, these people will become her elite soldiers in the future.

There is no need to go through the state government to recruit soldiers through normal channels, which effectively ensures the risk of her identity being exposed.

These wanderers who have left their homes and lost their families have no household registration information. To put it bluntly, no one knows they are dead. Who can know if they are secretly imprisoned?

Fu Hongmei is the Chief Secretary of Qingzhou, and the Chief Secretary is in charge of the civil affairs, land tax, and household registration of a state.

Qingzhou is also the gateway to Kyoto, so it is perfect for the Queen to leave this matter to Fu Hongmei.

But the premise is that since Fu Hongmei will agree to station troops for him, it must also mean that he and the queen have colluded and worked together.

Helping a country and then gathering a large number of troops privately cannot be tolerated by either the government, the public or the law. Once exposed, it will be a direct execution.
