The Silent Reforms of Eldridge Chapter 89

Ting Jili also said that only Gangzha clan was allowed to surrender, and other wild tribes were not allowed to follow suit. Little did they know that there were more than 530,000 wild tribesmen crossing the river. Even if other tribesmen could not cross the river, they would still be unable to control them. What’s more, each tribe of wild tribes did not have a leader in charge of everything, so who could restrain them from crossing the river? If you really do this, the consequences will be endless. Qinghai Minister Tugabu was very reluctant to do it, but Naxun Agula threatened him in Xining in every possible way, and the music governor also forced him to jointly submit a memorial. Tujabu was ambiguous and refused to express his position. The music governor was very angry about this, so he had to report to the emperor alone. Execution by force. This matter is heavy and has many threads, and I'm afraid it won't be resolved in three or two days.

It makes no sense that the magan (the feed for horses, also refers to the money used to buy feed) is only paid half. Most of Gansu's military horses are companion horses. They are not raised by the cavalry themselves, but are raised by farmers on their behalf, and the court distributes horse trunks. The number of companion horses accounts for almost half of the army horses. Therefore, the payment of horse trunks has nothing to do with the cavalry; as for the regular horses, the garrison campers collect the payment themselves, and it has nothing to do with the companion horses. Every year, a number of Pengma would die of illness, leaving behind horse skins, which would be used as evidence when handing out horse trunks. According to regulations, after Pengma died of illness, he should buy compensation, and each camp asked for it. I will first pay the soldiers and suspend all horse purchases. Some army horses also died of illness in the provincial capital. The governor ordered to raise funds and distribute them, and quickly repurchased them. Unexpectedly, dozens of horses were added, far exceeding the original number, and I was not in a position to interfere.

Among the monthly expenses of the Superintendent's Office, there is one item for eighty horses, but I have never seen Le Du receiving money, not feeding them. There are actually many horses fed in the superintendent's office, dozens of them, scattered in groups, but the feed is provided by the magistrate of Lanzhou County. Horses for the other vassals, Nasi, Lanzhou Road, and Lanzhou Prefecture are also supplied by the magistrate of Lanzhou County. I had only a mule and a horse, and it cost me little. Nasi Mingxu feeds nearly a hundred mules and horses, and the grooms are also extremely cruel. Every time he goes to the county office to collect feeding fees, if he is a little slow, he will curse and even beat people. As for Ledu's feeding fee, the county office prepared it early and never had to rush him. The magistrate of Lanzhou County is already in short supply, and this alone is difficult to cope with.

Frequent turnover of state and county officials is not beneficial to the local area, and it is most likely to start the bad example of running for an official position, buying an official position, and selling an official position. Those who have always paid attention to the administration of officials are all well aware of the harm. However, Le Bin was accustomed to using this method to exchange favors and accept bribes, Ming Xu used this method to cheat and show off, and Peng Peilin used this method to cheat together. As for me, the vassal, I am just like a puppet on the stage, lying in a state of disgrace.

Bi Tie Shi [1] Chang Xiang, who was sworn brother to the gatekeeper Chen Er in the superintendent's office, and the military officer of the superintendent's office, the three of them smoked opium in the gatehouse all day long, and went out to look for flowers and willows, doing everything . Chen Er is Yue Du's "Yong Shen" [2], and Yue Du obeys his words. Chen Er lobbied for Changxiang and asked him to act as county magistrate. In the past, the county magistrates who were appointed as county magistrates in the supervisory department were deliberately transferred, but only those with deep qualifications and achievements could be appointed. One day, there was a vacancy for the magistrate of Li County. Mingxu said to me, "Governor Yue wants Changxiang to act, but it's hard to tell you. Please tell me." When we were arranging the appointment the next day, I just asked Changxiang to act. Yue Du agreed hastily, as if he was afraid that I would regret it - it seemed that Ming Zhensi's words were true.
