The end of the world begins with the king

848 Threat
Hearing the imperial decree, all the officials present stood up straight as if a spring had been installed.

Everyone walked out of their positions together, came to the middle of the lobby, and quickly lined up the train according to their ranks, and then knelt down facing the leader Xie Xiaofang.

Everyone's expressions were full of fear, and the fear came from the imperial edict Xie Xiaofang presented.

The last time the imperial decree came, it caused the South to kill a lot of people.

All the people present had personally experienced the "catastrophe", so that they felt lingering fear at this moment.

Slowly opening the imperial decree, Xie Xiaofang read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the order says..."

The edict is to announce important events to the whole country, and it is only for the edict of Jiangxi County, so it is undoubtedly more appropriate to use a book.

"Order Xie Xiaofang, a scholar of the cabinet, the crown prince, to go to Jiangxi County to check the land and acres, and ask the governor of Jiangxi, the vassal secretary, and the government offices of various prefectures and counties to fully assist..."

"Give thanks to King Xiaofang for the flag. Those below the fifth rank can be relieved of their duties, and those below the seventh rank...can be cut first and played later!"

Officials below the fifth rank can be dismissed directly, and those below the seventh rank can be killed first and then played. This kind of power shocked everyone.

The officials present were well aware of the difficulty of checking the land.

But in the current situation, if they don't face up to the difficulties, they are afraid that their heads will fall.

As for directly dismissing from office, that's not impossible, the premise is that you can stand the investigation.

In other words, once you are dismissed to protest, the emperor will strictly investigate your background, and all the dirty things in the past will be found out.

Then, punish sin with these things.

None of the people present dared to say that they were absolutely clean.

Some time ago, the eight students who stopped taking the exam were all exiled to the Northwest because of this routine.

In today's world, the emperor does not rule the world with morality, but governs officials with a knife.

The routine of dismissing officials and retiring from office in the past is no longer feasible today.

The emperor gave you the opportunity to be an official. If you don't cherish it, you will die.

Thoughts were spinning in everyone's minds, but at this moment Xie Xiaofang had already read the last two words of making a book.

"Kin this!"

Under the leadership of governor Ding Yan, all the people present kowtowed and said: "Your ministers and others lead the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Xie Xiaofang felt differently before and after coming to Jiangxi County to preside over the investigation of Tianmu with the great power of life and death.

Before coming, he only felt aggrieved and aggrieved, but when he finished reciting the decree, he felt a lot of pride.

Since you have no choice, you might as well devote yourself wholeheartedly to accomplish a great event that will shine in the annals of history.

Putting the imperial edict away carefully, Xie Xiaofang sat down on the chair, and signaled others to return to their seats.

After everyone was seated, Xie Xiao conveniently said: "Everyone, do you understand the emperor's will?"

Everyone replied: "Understood!"

"Time is running out now, so I won't talk nonsense!"

"It is a national policy appointed by the emperor to check the land and acres. You and I are officials ordered by the imperial court. Naturally, the emperor's orders should come first in everything we do!"

"If you can figure it out, you have to do it, if you can't figure it out, you have to do it, otherwise you will be resisting the decree, and resisting the decree will be severely punished!"

These words can be said to be full of murderous intent, and everyone is even more shocked at this moment.

"For a long time, I have always believed that peace is the most important thing, so don't let me make trouble!"

These words can already be equated to threats, and everyone present can understand them.

When everyone was stunned, Xie Xiaofang said again: "This matter, I plan to divide it into three steps!"

"The first step, in the first month, you will convey the emperor's will to the major households in the government!"

Everyone listened carefully, after all, if they neglected to handle the errand, they might lose their heads.

"You have to tell them that the emperor made this national policy for the sake of the court and the safety of the world!"

"As a subject, you should be loyal and respectful, so as to live up to the mighty grace of the emperor!"

"If you obstruct the national policy of boycotting, it is tantamount to asking for trouble for yourself. Only fools would do this!"

Xie Xiaofang smiled and said: "The past is not far away, presumably the gentry in Jiangxi County will understand the righteousness!"

The previous incident was indeed not so far away, so that the officials present were still terrified at the moment.

"The second step is to formally implement the national policy..."

"County governments in various places send officials in the government office to measure all the land within the jurisdiction. The government government is responsible for coordinating and supervising the land.

"For this mission, the prefecture and the county are responsible for their own duties. The emperor has issued a special order to pursue the responsibility for life. You all have to be careful!"

"During the inspection period, the governor's yamen and the chief secretary have to send personnel to inspect various places!"

After scanning everyone's eyes, Xie Xiaofang said very seriously: "The emperor said when I came here that special personnel will be sent to spot-check all places!"

"Everyone, the government offices, county offices, and the imperial court will supervise this matter, and you must not resort to deceit... Otherwise, I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will be lost!"

It was supposed to introduce the second step, but it sounded like a warning to the officials.

The life of the whole family is in danger, this is no longer a hint, but a bright card.

"The third step... In fact, the third step has already been said!"

"The third step is mainly to investigate back, to find out all those who practice favoritism and cheat!"

When Xie Xiaofang said these words, Hu Lizhen at the side thought of the common people.

Even if the officials do their best, they really don't have enough manpower. If the common people can take the initiative to supervise, then there will be no dead ends.

Living in the village all their lives and working for the officials and gentry all their lives, the common people naturally know the land of these people.

It's just that the common people are afraid of officials and gentry, so it's not easy for them to take the initiative to sue the officials.

"Therefore, in ancient times, there was a merchant named Yuanmu Lixin. It seems that I have to solve some serious cases first, so that the common people can see it with their own eyes!"

"Not only must the case be handled fairly, but also those who sue the officials must be rewarded and given land!"

"It's just that although there are many official lands in Jiangxi, if you want to give people land, you have to ask for an order first!"

When Hu Lizhen whispered and perfected his thoughts, Xie Xiaofang was not idle, and told everyone what to pay attention to.

After about an hour, after Xie Xiaofang explained in detail, the discussion was considered to be over.

The officials left separately, but the high-ranking officials of the Second Division of Fanjian and several prefects stayed behind.

These people were asking for details on the surface, but actually they wanted to build a relationship with Xie Xiaofang.

Hu Lizhen couldn't understand this phenomenon, so he went straight out of the lobby and waited outside.

After another ten minutes passed, the remaining officials left one after another.

After everyone left, Hu Lizhen returned to the lobby.

"My lord, I have a way to help my lord fulfill the emperor's order!"

Sitting on the chair, Xie Xiaofang was a little tired at the moment, but he cheered up and said, "Let's listen!"

So, Hu Lizhen expressed her thoughts.

At first, Xie Xiaofang didn't take it seriously, but hearing Hu Lizhen's detailed steps cheered him up.

After finishing speaking, Hu Lizhen asked, "What does Mr. Ge think?"

Nodding his head, Xie Xiao conveniently said: "You will be responsible for this matter, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

"The humble post takes orders!" Hu Lizhen saluted.

Before that, he was just a county magistrate, and his impartial law enforcement was limited to one county.

Now in Jiangxi County, with the support of Xie Xiaofang, he can finally flex his muscles and enjoy the common people as the master.

"The humble job will definitely live up to the old man's expectations!" Hu Lizhen was extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiaofang shook his head, emphatically saying: "It is living up to the emperor's expectations!"

"Ge Lao taught you the lesson!"

When she said this sentence, Hu Lizhen realized that she had changed.

She was flattering herself... This made Hu Lizhen feel very guilty.
