Hua Yu said with a smile: "Although Gu may not be a wise master, he also knows that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished."

"This time, you will be rewarded for your contribution."

"How about this, Man Lai, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yuan Manlai rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I dare not take credit, as long as I can continue to serve my lord, it is the greatest reward for my subordinates."

"Hehe, well said." Hua Yu couldn't tell that this was Yuan Man's retreat, but he was ashamed to ask Hua Yu to reward him.

Hua Yu nodded and said, "Let's see, Jiangdong is rich, outstanding people, and even more beauties."

"After Gu pacifies Jiangdong, I will make you the governor of Yangzhou, how about it?"

The governor of Yangzhou not only governs Jiangdong, but also includes the two counties of Huainan.

Yuan Manlai was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. The subordinates will do their best to manage Yangzhou well for my lord."

After the reward, the next step is to beat.

Hua Yu said lightly: "However, no one can break the rules set by the solitary."

"High salaries support honesty, but the salaries of officials under the solitary rule are extremely high, which can be said to be more than three times that of the big man."

"Since this is the case, Gu can't tolerate any corruption, let alone bullying the people."

"It's the same for any official, even the future prince, princess, or even the relatives of the state."

"Anyone who dares to violate this point will be punished severely according to the law."

"Manlai, do you understand?"

Yuan Manlai hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely not let you down."

Hua Yu smiled again and said, "Of course, Gu will reward officials with good political performance."

"With a high salary, you can also get a name in history and a reward from Gu. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Yuan Manlai understood that Hua Yu was beating him, and immediately patted his chest to promise: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely not let you down."

Hua Yu sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if Gu is disappointed or not."

"If you are an unkind official, the worst thing you can do is to punish you and replace you with the governor of Yangzhou."

"But if you are an upright official and leave a name in history, it will be of great benefit to your old Yuan family."

"Today it's just you and me, Gu also opened up and said."

"In the past, you betrayed the Yuan family, and now, you betrayed Yuan Shu."

"Although it is the trend of the times, you are not loyal or filial to the members of the Yuan family."

"In the future, if you die due to corruption and lose the face of the Yuan family, how will you face them under the Nine Springs?"

"But if you leave an eternal reputation and win great honor for the Yuan family, will they still embarrass you when you are under Jiuquan in the future?"

"First, the Yuan family has honored their ancestors, and second, you have left a descendant for the Yuan family."

"As for money, just spend enough, why bother to be greedy."

"In the past dynasties, many corrupt officials have accumulated countless money. Can they take it away after death?"

Hua Yu's words, this beating, were like enlightenment, and suddenly Yuan Manlai was shocked into a cold sweat.

Although Yuan Manlai is smart, he has never thought about this problem.

But listening to what Hua Yu said now, it definitely made a lot of sense.

First he betrayed the Yuan family and killed his two elder brothers, and now he betrayed Yuan Shu who took him in.

The execution of the Yuan family's execution was carried out by Hua Yu.

Yuan Shao's death was also defeated by Hua Yu.

Now Yuan Manlai gave Yuan Shu to Hua Yu again.

Yuan Manlai completely betrayed the Yuan family and took refuge in the enemies of the Yuan family.

If Yuan Manlai was really punished by Hua Yu for corruption, it would greatly damage the Yuan family's reputation.

In the future, under the Nine Springs, how could Yuan Kai and other ghosts easily let Yuan Manlai go?
Perhaps, the King of Hades will send him to the [-]th hell, where he will be tortured day and night.

But if Hua Yu's approach is followed, if Yuan Manlai can live a clean life and leave a reputation as an upright official, the Yuan family can shine again.

With these credits, in the future under Jiuquan, Yuan Kai and other ghosts may be forgiven.

Yuan Manlai immediately stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down: "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance."

"This subordinate already knows what to do, and will definitely not disappoint the lord."

"Otherwise, the subordinates will fall into the [-] hells, be tortured day and night, and never recover."

"My lord wakes up my subordinates, which is equivalent to saving the entire Yuan family. This subordinate would like to thank the lord for your great kindness on behalf of the Yuan family."

Hua Yu nodded secretly, he expected that Yuan Manlai would be touched.

After all, this is the era of theism, and falling into the [-]th hell is something that almost everyone is afraid of after being full of evil.

Doing all kinds of bad things while alive, and how to face the ancestors after death are the living people's worries.

Li Shimin killed his brother and murdered his brother and won the throne, but he was also afraid of how to face this problem after death.

Therefore, he had to work hard to govern, diligently governed and loved the people, and created a reputation for the rule of Zhenguan.

Only in this way, he will not be unable to face his ancestors when he is under the Nine Springs in the future.

At least, the merits of the rule of Zhenguan are enough to offset the crime of killing brothers and brothers.

Yuan Manlai was indeed awakened by Hua Yu's words.

In the future, in the official position of governor of Yangzhou, he has indeed been conscientious, honest and caring for the people, and has won a good reputation.

This is something to say, so I won't say much about it for the time being.

"Come on, get up."

"Thank you, my lord." Yuan Manlai stood up, returned to his seat, and completely calmed down.

Hua Yu asked again: "I heard from An Bo that you also escorted Yuan Shu over?"

"My lord, that's exactly what happened." Yuan Manlai cupped his hands and said, "After I put Yuan Shu under house arrest, I kept him in custody."

"This time I heard that the lord has won a great victory in Yinan, so I escorted Yuan Shu and others to Luoyang. Please send them to the lord."

Hua Yu nodded: "In that case, let's bring them all here."

"Here, my subordinates will make arrangements now." Yuan Man came to answer, got up and left the meeting room to take Yuan Shu with him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the chamber, accompanied by the cries of women and children.

The woman and the child started to cry, and Yuan Manlai's scolding voice also sounded: "Don't cry, the lord is in the hall, keep quiet."

Immediately, all the crying stopped, and the footsteps were getting closer.

A group of about four to fifty people filed in and entered the meeting hall.

There are men and women, more men than women.

The first person was the dejected Yuan Shu.

The women are almost all stunning, it seems that they are all concubines in Yuan Shu Palace.

A small Dazhong dynasty managed to get so many concubines, it's no wonder Yuan Shu survived.
