The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 837 Only Hong Wu and Xun Er
While the disciples were thinking hard and writing hard, the emperor in Qian'an Palace was also busy.

The land inspection presided over by Wang Tinghe has the latest feedback every day, and he has to check these carefully.

In addition, the resettlement of refugees has been implemented concretely, and people from Hexi and Hedong counties continue to move in. I think this year's spring plowing will not be delayed.

In addition to these two things, things in the Northwest are constantly changing.

There are more and more tribes relocated by the Hu people. Although they are clearing up the grassland zombies, the huge pressure of eating and drinking is very likely to cause them to march into the pass.

After all, there is both safety and food in the pass, and many people will die anyway, so why not die on the battlefield?

The above three matters are extremely important matters, and Zhao Yanxun needs to follow up the situation every day and give instructions on major matters.

After dealing with the above three matters, Zhao Yanxun has to arrange another major event today.

At this moment, Xie Xiaofang was standing in the hall, listening to Zhao Yanxun's description of the situation.

"Xie Qing, I don't need to say anything more about the importance of measuring the acres of land, I'm sure you already understand it!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

Now the surveying of the land has been carried out for most of the time in Gyeonggi County, and Huaiyang County in Nanyang County is also starting to implement it. No accidents, it can be completed within this year.

To be honest, the speed of clearing these three counties this year is already considered fast.

The reason why these three counties were chosen was because they had been ravaged by zombies, and the landlords, officials and gentry suffered heavy losses, so they could not form much resistance.

In fact, this is the case throughout the Central Plains, which is relatively easier than the South.

"I understand!" Xie Xiaofang felt a little anxious at the moment.

Now he just wants to go home and take care of his grandson, and he doesn't want to get involved in these right and wrong at all, but it's a pity that Zhao Yanxun doesn't let him go.

"Now that the Central Plains has begun to investigate, and the five southern counties have not yet implemented it, I plan to send experienced and prudent people to Jiangxi County to preside over the investigation of Tianmu!"

The five counties in the south, on the one hand, are short of manpower, and on the other hand, there will be great resistance, so we can only choose one county as a pilot.

Jiangxi County is located in the center of the south, and it is the most suitable place for surgery.

"Xie Qing is originally from the south, and she was investigating cases in the south before. She is familiar with the situation in the south. I think she is the most suitable candidate!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun stared at Xie Xiaofang's eyes, and then said: "Do you think so?"

This is the worst outcome, Xie Xiaofang has no choice but to bow down and answer: "The old minister obeys the emperor's will!"

"Since that's the case, Xie Qing will take up this burden!"

"Zhen will send someone to assist you, and the eunuch guarding Jiangxi will also help you. You can just issue orders step by step!"

If it is really possible to issue orders, then ten people can preside over this matter.

The crux of the problem lies in the execution of the order after it is issued, and the supervision and correction when it has been executed.

And in this process, many people must be offended, and impeachment all over the sky must be indispensable.

"I obey the order, thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Xiaofang said sincerely.

"Xie Qing is gone, don't be in a hurry, you must carefully plan and calculate, and you must explain the situation to the local people more clearly, and analyze the stakes!"

The focus of this sentence is on the four words "interested relationship".

When Wang Tinghe investigated Tianmu, some people were ignorant of current affairs and instigated the people to obstruct it. In the end, the heads of all the envoys were beheaded, and then the family property was confiscated and the clansmen were exiled.

And these are the most stupid ways to thwart the government. What is even more difficult is to lie and report falsely and conceal the motherland.

The court has always been stricter in dealing with these people.

That's why Zhao Yanxun said, let Xie Xiaofang explain to those people how great he is, and don't end up in a situation where people and money are empty.

"I understand!"

Zhao Yanxun's eyes became easy-going, and he only heard him say indifferently: "Within this year, if you can complete the errands in Jiangxi, and if you ask for something when handing over the order, I will not let you down!"

Xie Xiaofang understood the meaning of this sentence, so he was very excited at the moment.

As long as this errand is finished, he can land safely and go home to spend his peaceful life.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Xie Xiaofang paid respects.

"Let's go, I'm so good to prepare, I'll leave in three days!"

"Yes!"

After Xie Xiaofang left, Wu Hong walked into the main hall and reported that the Ministers of the Three Jurisdictions had an audience.

The arrival of these people made Zhao Yanxun slightly surprised. He thought it would take seven or eight days before the tax case would be concluded.

"Let them in!"

"According to the order!"

After a while, Zhou Chengping, the censor of Zuodu, Wen Zongguo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yan Peiji, minister of Dali Temple, entered the hall.

"The minister waits to kowtow to the emperor!"

"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After several people got up, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Come here together today, what are you talking about?"

"Report to the emperor, regarding the case of tax fraud, the cases of various localities have basically been concluded, and a large number of minor cases have been dealt with..."

"Only this time it involves a major case, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice dare not rule on its own, but drafts a criminal law for the Emperor to review!"

After saying this, Wen Zongguo held up the official document in his hand, Wu Hong immediately stepped forward to take it, and then sent it to Zhao Yanxun's desk.

Zhao Yanxun didn't hesitate, opened the official document and checked it.

This official document has more than 50 pages, and it describes the wealthy family who committed serious crimes. According to the opinion given by the Ministry of Punishment, most of them beheaded, and then the family property was confiscated and the family was exiled.

According to the past practice, there will be no such disposal results at all, and even this kind of case will not happen. The current situation is all thanks to Zhao Yanxun.

Seeing the end, Zhao Yanxun picked up the vermilion pen and wrote the word "Zhun" at the end of the official document, which decided the fate of more than 70 families involved in the case.

Wu Hong put away the official document again, and then handed it back to Wen Zongguo, and the matter was over.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Peiji, Minister of Dali Temple, said: "My Majesty, under the recent strict investigation, a total of eight officials of rank four or above were involved..."

"I don't dare to arrest and interrogate without authorization, please ask the emperor to judge!"

After saying this, Yan Peiji handed over the official document.

Prior to this, [-] local and imperial officials had been dismissed for this, and many of them were severely punished.

And these people are all below the fourth rank.

Even so, Dali Temple is extremely cautious when dealing with these people, not to mention that officials above the fourth rank are going to be mobilized now.

"Wu Jiayi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Youfan, Zuo Tongzheng, Zuo Tongzheng, and Zhou Muchen, Nanyang..."

These people are all high-ranking officials of the central government. Apart from the six ministers above them, there are only a few cabinet ministers left.

Thinking that these people were also involved in the case, and what they did was to deceive others, Zhao Yanxun felt a little upset.

Picking up a vermilion pen, Zhao Yanxun wrote: arrest him immediately, and ask the three justices to question him severely!
Afterwards, the official document was returned to Yan Peiji.

Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "According to this, the interrogation will be stricter, and the crime will be severely punished. This must be used as a warning to all officials!"

"According to the order!"

In fact, the scope of this case is so wide and the number of people dealt with is so large, it has already deterred the whole country.

From the time he succeeded to the throne to the present, he first attacked noble and disobedient ministers, then attacked the wealthy families in the south, and now he used the tax case to punish officials and gentry...

Roughly estimated, since Zhao Yanxun entered the capital, the number of people who have been beheaded and exiled to search their homes has exceeded [-].

In less than a year, 10 people have been severely sentenced. This is undoubtedly an exaggerated figure.

Even if these people deserve what they deserve, it also reflects Zhao Yanxun's tyrannical methods, and a "tyrant" evaluation will be indispensable in the future.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Chengping and the others leaving, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the comments of later generations.

At this moment, he understands the Emperor Zhu in the previous life very well, and it is really impossible for some people to not clean up.

"The only tyrants in ancient and modern times are Hongwu and Xuner!" Zhao Yanxun laughed at himself in a low voice.
