Great Wei Nengchen

"Yangcheng County supplies 970 hu of grain, 850 strong men, and [-] heads of various livestock..."

With an abacus in one hand, the students flipped through the account books and calculated the household registration, taxation, and labor labor of the three counties in the past two years. The school has advanced arithmetic, which is easy for them.

Runan County is the closest to Jingzhou. When Cao Jun went south, this was the material transportation center, so the most men were requisitioned, the most food was taken, and the most hated for the oppression of the people!

Judging from the book figures, the officials of the three counties have also done their best to ensure the supply on time, and they have contributed to the army's southern expedition!

"The three county magistrates of Yang'an, Yangcheng, and Fupo have made great contributions to ensuring the supply of the army. They will be given the title of 'Doctor' to record their meritorious service once. The rest of the officials will each have a hundred taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk as a token of appreciation!"

"The lower officials are willing to work for Da Sima... Willing to go through fire and water for Da Sima!"

There is an iron law in the army, not to mention the merits of logistics and supply, which are not under the charge of attacking the enemy. Therefore, Xiao Yi rewarded the officials of the three counties.

The officials were grateful and kept swearing allegiance. The three county magistrates kowtowed like chickens eating broken rice.

No wonder their right eyelids twitched before they were summoned. It turned out that there was a big happy event coming, but didn’t the ancients say that the left eye jumps for money and the right eye jumps for disaster? It seems that what the ancients said was not accurate?

But the officials were happy, but the hungry people cried. It is true that the officials and officials protect each other, and the world is as black as crows.

The surrounding civil, military, and students were also puzzled. Although the officials of the three counties had some credit, but under their rule, the people were so hungry and cold that they became thieves.

Da Sima rewarded the officials, not to reward their behavior in disguise. If this matter spread, all the officials in the world would be turned into tigers and wolves. Only a few people guessed it. Da Sima's behavior style-rewards for meritorious service, and never forgives mistakes!

"Yang'an County handed over [-] hu of military rations, and actually collected [-] hu of hu, and collected [-]% more tax money, and deducted some rations from civilian husbands..."

"Yangcheng County pays [-] hu for grain, but actually collects [-] hu of hu, which is more than [-]% of the tax money. They also use the grain transportation team to smuggle for huge profits..."

The students didn't stop, they continued to take stock of the accounts of the three counties, found out all the black accounts, flower accounts, and changing accounts... and finally made a list and handed it to Xiao Yi.

No wonder the people in the three counties are miserable. In addition to the normal imperial grain and taxes, there are countless exorbitant taxes, which are more than double the regular taxes. No wonder Confucius said: Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!

"Forgive me, Da Sima. The officials were so confused that they received money and food by mistake. It was an unintentional mistake!"

"The battle of the army consumes a lot of money, and the lower officials charge a little more money and food, so they are prepared for any danger. Please forgive me, Da Sima!"

Seeing that the black account was exposed, the officials of the three counties fell to their knees in fright, and kept using various excuses to prevaricate, hoping to get away with it. Anyway, the word "official" makes sense no matter what!

Besides, Da Sima had just ordered a reward, so he couldn't be punished in a blink of an eye. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face, because the officials privately judged that the board should be lifted high and lowered gently.

"Hehe - embezzling money and food, oppressing the people, so that there are frequent civil upheavals, and dare to beg for mercy with sweet words - kill!"

Xiao Yi has always been rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he never forgives his mistakes. When he exited with the word 'kill', more than a hundred soldiers poured out from both sides, and dragged down the officials of the three counties. In an instant, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and the banquet hall was stained red with blood...

Perhaps it was because of seeing Da Sima kill people, facing dozens of bloody corpses, the soldiers around were chatting and laughing happily, and did not delay eating meat and drinking at all. Only Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian were pale and almost vomited , and forced it back again.

Today's iron and blood scene made them completely understand that Xiao Yi's law enforcement is as mountainous and ruthless, and they also understand the weight of the word "Killing God".

Next, Xiao Yi sent troops to search the property of dozens of corrupt officials, and distributed all the money, food, fields and houses to the hungry people in the three counties, which immediately attracted voices of gratitude!

Killing dozens of corrupt officials and rescuing a group of suffering people is considered a great deed, but Xiao Yi has no smile on his face, instead he keeps touching his nose... This is just the tip of the iceberg!

There are 37 counties in Runan County, and corruption is so serious. Cao Ying controls nine prefectures, a total of 74 counties and more than 800 counties... How many corrupt officials should there be, and how many suffering people?

In fact, at the beginning of Cao Ying's rise, he attached great importance to the administration of officials, and many honest and good officials emerged, who were deeply loved by the people of Li. Otherwise, he would not have swept the Central Plains in more than ten years. , also for various reasons:

In the past, Cao Ying conquered the Quartet, Cao Cao presided over the overall situation, Guo Jia strategized, Xiao Yi led the battle, and Xun Yu and Xun You sat in the rear. win!

'Er Xun' is not only first-class in ability, but also extremely noble in character. The officials they appoint are all loyal, fair and honest. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Caoying Group is very good, and there is very little corruption and bribery.

Cao Cao also enforced the law like a mountain. Occasionally, if he caught a few black sheep, he would be punished immediately, even if he was a high-ranking official, and the Cao family was no exception.

But because of political disputes, 'Er Xun' committed suicide one after another, and Cao Ying lost important internal affairs personnel. Although Jiang Ji, Mao Jie, Hua Xin and others were promoted, they were far behind in ability, morality, and prestige. Can't hold on to the important task of governing the country!

Cao Cao is old and frail, and his energy is not as good as before. He has to lead the army in person, guard against the Han Dynasty loyalists, and guard against someone seizing power... He has relaxed a lot in the supervision of officials!

The result is: the imperial court is in decline, there are groups of corrupt officials, and the people are exploited, and their lives are miserable. There are even large-scale civil uprisings, and Cao Jun's Southern Expedition failed miserably. This is also one of the important reasons!

Then again, dozens of corrupt officials were killed, who will manage the three counties of Yang'an, Yangcheng, and Fubei? Someone must appease the people and collect taxes, otherwise what will the army eat?

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. After studying in the academy for many years, it is time to contribute to the country. Now that there are vacancies in the three counties, is there anyone who recommends himself?

The county magistrate, also known as "Bailihou", is in charge of the power of a hundred miles, and he is a veritable parent official. Doesn't any of the children in my school have the courage to take on the role? "

Xiao Yi had already chosen someone, that is, the student army under his command. The Zhengming Academy has been established for more than six years. The students are full of knowledge and have experienced the baptism of iron and blood. They are enough to be alone.

More importantly, Zhengming Academy was founded by himself. The students are all his own disciples. They are very close emotionally and absolutely loyal politically. This kind of good thing of getting promoted and getting rich must be followed by their own people first.

"Student Anton volunteered to serve as the magistrate of a county. He must be diligent and diligent, and love the people like a son!"

"Student Cai Bin volunteered to serve as the head of a county. If there is no order within three years, he is willing to kill himself in front of the school!"

"Student Chen Xun..."

"Student Shen Lei..."

The Master said: If you are good at learning, you will be an official. Students enter the government, worship famous teachers, and study hard for more than ten years. Isn’t it just to be an official in the court, a general or a minister?

Now that the opportunity is right in front of our eyes, everyone is scrambling to be the first. Even Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian are eager to try and become a 'Bailihou'. Although they pretend to be noble, they are eager to make contributions in their hearts!

It's a pity that the three of them are doomed to be disappointed, because Xiao Yi has already positioned them: Fuguo Anbang and Wang Zuozhi are talented, and being a county magistrate is overqualified, while Zhou Mu, Da Sinong, and Zhong Shuling are not far behind!

Next, Xiao Yi selected six students with excellent character and learning (that is, those who are pleasing to the eye and behave well-behaved) to serve as the magistrates and county magistrates of the three counties, and to share the power of civil and military affairs. Take office!

According to official rules, when a student becomes an official, the master should say a few words of encouragement:

"You will be on your own. As a teacher, I have a few instructions: Your salary, the people's anointing and the people's fat, the people are easy to abuse, and the sky is hard to bully... Whoever does nothing - expels the teacher, and who dares to take money and break the law - Immediately kill without pardon!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1357 Recruiting Talents, Gradually Flourishes ([-])

"Officials in Yichun County, big and small, embezzled 700 hu of grain and seized more than [-] hectares of private land. The evidence is unmistakable-kill!"

"The county magistrate of Shangcai County raised taxes for three years, occupied [-] houses, and forcibly robbed more than [-] civilian women. Unfortunately, the evidence is slightly insufficient-kill!"

"Officials in Xihua County forcibly recruited civilian husbands, secretly organized caravans, and sold more than [-] hu of grain in the government's stockpile, and made huge profits from it. Unfortunately, the account books were burned-kill!"

………………

Ghost-faced Xiao Lang raised his butcher's knife, so he wouldn't let it go easily. In the following ten days, Xiao Yi assigned elite cadres to the 37 counties of Runan County to investigate the corruption of officials...

As a result, there were [-] county magistrates with different corruption problems. Some took bribes, some bullied men and women, and some dared to sell public grain. a clean one!

The number of corrupt officials is large, accounting for [-]% of the officials in Runan County. As the saying goes, "the law does not blame the public". When ordinary people encounter such problems, they must investigate and collect evidence, interrogate them in detail, and spend several months to get a few. Typical 'surgery, the rest will be dealt with lightly, so as not to hurt too many people...

But Xiao Yi's solution is much simpler, more direct and more effective without leaving any sequelae, just one word - kill!

As long as the corrupt officials are caught, no matter how much they have been corrupted, no matter whether there is any evidence, and no matter how deep the background of the corrupt officials is, they will all be beheaded for public display, and their property will be confiscated into the public!
