I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

After the Western Expedition was on track, Wei Chu appointed Jia Xu as the commander of the Western Expedition, and Wei Chu himself led a part of the soldiers back to China.

At this time in China, the people had just enjoyed a good harvest.

Because of the cultivation of a large number of high-quality crops, this harvest has increased several times compared to previous years.

Finally, people no longer have to worry about how to fill their stomachs.

The people actually benefited, and coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the Public Opinion Department led by Mi Heng, the people regarded Wei Chu as the god who saved the people.

Many people even offered Wei Chu on incense, praying day and night for Wei Chu to live forever, hoping that the days of not having to go hungry would last forever.

At this time, Wei Chu's reputation had reached an extremely high peak.

Even the former Qin Emperor and Han Wu were not as popular as Wei Chu.

Back in the capital Luoyang, Wei Chu spent seven days alone with Diao Chan, Cai Yan and others.

During these seven days, Wei Chu ignored state affairs and signed in recklessly.

The elixirs that were almost exhausted have finally been replenished.

Seven days later, Wei Chu attended the morning court.

The civil and military officials in the hall learned the news in advance and all waited outside the palace early.

As soon as the hour arrived, all the civil and military officials rushed into the Chengde Hall.

Wei Chu had just sat on the dragon chair.

Bing Yuan was the first to stand up and said to Wei Chu: "Your Majesty, according to our statistics, this year's grain harvest has been huge. Compared with last year, the grain harvest has increased by at least three times. In addition, there are 120 newly built treasuries in various places. Your Majesty, all the treasuries are now filled with food."

"Compared to previous years, the scale of commercial operations has also increased several times. The taxes paid by commercial activities this year alone have exceeded the taxes paid by the Han Dynasty in the past three years."

After hearing Bing Yuan's words, Wei Chu waved his hand gently and asked, "How much did you spend this year?"

Bing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, and then whispered: "This year, 36 new schools and three water conservancy projects were built across the country, spending [-]% ​​of the tax revenue, and nearly [-]% was spent on military expenditures. Half, the salaries of officials in various places, the operation of local government offices, etc. add up to almost [-]%."

Wei Chu nodded slightly and said, "Earning money is not a skill. Spending the money earned in the most reasonable way is a skill."

"Next year, more schools will be added and more water conservancy projects will be built. At the same time, official roads across the country also need to be seriously renovated. More hospitals will be added to ensure that people can receive very timely treatment when they fall ill. Rescue."

"Building water conservancy projects and renovating official roads in various places can be carried out during the slack period. Employ a large number of people and give them wages. When the people have money, they will use it for consumption, and consumption will generate taxes."

"You must remember that money stored in the treasury has no value at all. Money needs to be circulated to generate value."

When Bing Yuan and other civil servants heard Wei Chu's words, they couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Everyone believes that with the next year, the court will use most of the money and food for people's livelihood.

Compared with this year, the happiness level of people's lives can be further improved.

After Bing Yuan retreated, Wei Chu turned his attention to He Jin again.

"He Jin, have there been any unrest in various parts of China recently?"

He Jin is no longer a general.

He is now the top officer of the Patrol Department, commanding patrols across the country and responsible for public security work across the country.

"Your Majesty, all walks of life in China have developed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone cherishes their current life. Therefore, all parts of China are relatively stable. Only Xuzhou had a small-scale unrest not long ago."

"There were remnants of a family who established a so-called Immortal Cult. They preached the destruction of the body and the immortality of the soul. They developed very quickly and even had tens of thousands of followers. They tried to attack the Yamen, but were eventually arrested by more than a thousand patrolmen gathered from all over Xuzhou. Encircled and wiped out."

"The leader of the Eternal Life Religion was beheaded in public more than ten days ago."

After hearing what He Jin said, Wei Chu solemnly said: "Similar things must not continue to happen in the Chinese Empire. Tell the common people that whoever incites rebellions in various parts of China just does not want the common people to live a good life."

"These people are not only enemies of the court, but also enemies of the common people. For these people, the common people are welcome to supervise each other, expose each other, and even directly stand up to fight against them."

"Anyone who tries to disrupt China's development must be caught and severely punished."

When He Jin nodded, Wei Chu then turned his attention to Wang Yue.

"Wang Yue, your royal guards are responsible for supervising all officials. I want to ask you, are there any corrupt officials in various parts of China?"

After Wei Chu finished speaking, Wang Yue took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jian Shuo who was waiting aside.

"After our repeated investigations and determinations, last year we found a total of 19 people who had committed corruption and violated the law."

"For these 19 people, we have very sufficient evidence. We can be sure that no good people were wrongly accused."

Wei Chu frowned and took the paper from Jian Shuo's hand. After only looking at it for a moment, a surge of anger suddenly appeared in Wei Chu's heart.

On the white paper, there are nineteen officials.

Some people engaged in corruption and bribery, involving amounts as high as 10 taels of silver.

Some people act as a protective umbrella for the family and secretly obstruct the progress of the reform in every possible way.

There are also some people who bully men and women and do things even more outrageous than some robbers and bandits.

"Wang Yue, hand over the evidence you have to Bing Yuan and He Jin. The three parties will make a final decision together. If the evidence is sufficient, it means these people are really guilty. Arrest them first and hold a national parade to let the people and officials Let’s take a good look at what corrupt officials look like.”

"After the nationwide demonstrations were over, they were sent back to the places where they worked. Finally, they were killed in front of the people."

"At the same time, we are ordering the whole country to let the people directly participate in the reporting. All officials who are reported by the people must be thoroughly investigated. In addition, for the people who participate in the reporting, we must not only reward them, but also protect them. Their personal safety.”

Having said this, Wei Chu glanced at the people in the hall again.

"Here, I would also like to warn everyone present. You must clearly distinguish between what you should do and what you should not do. If you do something you shouldn't do, you must be punished."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, everyone in the hall was shocked.

After a moment, everyone came to their senses and almost simultaneously knelt down and said loudly: "We must be honest and honest and keep our bottom line."
