Chapter 318 Cleaning up the Officials
The sound of the wind, the groans, and the heavy wheezing sound, but there was no shouting and killing, and the entire training ground, whether friends or enemies, was stunned by Jiang Anyi's thunderous blow.
Jiang Anyi walked towards Lei Yihong, Lei Yihong's whole body trembled slightly, he couldn't move his steps, and in the firelight, he saw a few drops of blood splashed on Jiang Anyi's face, and the gentle smile in his smile was like the cruel smile of the demon god in hell.
Lei Yihong's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and held his head and shouted: "Willing to surrender, willing to surrender, don't kill me, I surrendered." ”
The image of Lei Da in the hearts of the minions collapsed, this usually ferocious, vicious, to whip others as fast as the big village master is so pus, the big village master has fallen, what are we fighting for, I don't know who lost the weapon in his hand first, for a time there was as follows snow, "dang long" sound continued, hundreds of minions knelt down one after another, shouting "willing to surrender".
Standing alone, Jiang Anyi looked forward to his own pride, and laughed proudly.
At the left oblique angle, a cold light shot straight into Jiang Anyi's heart. Jiang Anyi's laughter stopped abruptly, and the unusual spiritual sense made him sense that there was something wrong with his back, so he naturally took a step forward and bowed his head. A sword floated over his head, and the cold wind ruffled the hair above his head.
This felt like being poured cold water on the climax, anger, shame, irritability, all the negative feelings came to his heart, Jiang Anyi turned around angrily, and saw Jin Yiming sitting on the ground with his chest clutched, his right hand hanging weakly from the air. Seeing Jiang Anyi striding towards him, Jin Yiming sneered weakly: "Dog thief, count your fate, Jin Ye and you dog thieves will not stand apart." ”
Jiang Anyi raised his palm and was about to kill Jin Yiming, when he suddenly saw a relieved look on Jin Yiming's face, his heart moved, his palm was slightly oblique, and he slammed the edge of Jin Yiming's face on the ground, splashing a piece of dust.
Du Jitao rushed over with someone, but he didn't expect the matter to be solved so easily. Jiang Anyi asked the officers and soldiers to collect the weapons of the minions, and asked Qi Li to take some people to escort Lei Yihong to the first checkpoint, put down the drawbridge and let Qin Zixiong and others in. The kung fu was not big, Qin Zixiong led people to Jiang Anyi's side, looked at the cowering squatting on the training ground, and said with a smile: "Huangyangzhai has been plagued for many years and calmed down in one fell swoop, and the adult is really a god." ”
Collecting and surrendering minions, confiscating materials, and being busy until the morning of the third day, Jiang Anyi and others escorted more than 400 minions and drove more than 100 carts down the mountain. Before leaving, Du Jitao proposed to burn the Huangyang Village, Jiang Anyi did not agree, he looked around the Huangyang Village during the day, and found that the scenery here was excellent, and he had arrangements for the Huangyang Village in his heart.
The return journey of more than 120 miles was safe, those minions were probably frightened by Jiang Anyi, plus Jiang Anyi told them that they could serve hard labor to atone for their crimes, along the way, Du Jitao and others rode horses and crossed with crossbows and bows, and more than 400 minions actually entered Fuluo County one by one.
Entering the city is another commotion, the people of the city have come to see the mountain bandits of Huangyang Village, you must know that the reputation of Huangyang Village is a household name in Fuluo, Jiang'an, Ningping, from time to time there are merchants who have been robbed of the news of the news, I did not expect to be taken by the county lord to take a nest of ends, needless to say that the mountain bandits strung together by the rope are more than a mile long, just look at the long vehicles, from the city gate are almost lined up to the county government gate, all are the grain and grass and property robbed by the mountain bandits.
Shi Qingle and Liu Jiusi greeted the officials in the county government from afar, standing sideways and bowing from afar, Shi Qingle said loudly: "Shi Mou thanked Lord Jiang for the people of Lizhou, and the Lord has countless lives for this move, which is for great benevolence and bravery." ”
Liu Jiusi was even more excited, his face was full of red light, he bowed to the ground, and shouted: "My lord's spicy hands are benevolent, and in one fell swoop, I have been quelling many years of banditry. ”
The people who welcomed on both sides knelt down one after another when they heard this, and the mountain shouted: "I'll thank Lord Jiang." ”
Jiang Anyi rode on the charcoal, enjoying the cheers of the people from the heart, which felt indeed happier than Gu Panzixiong that night.
The prisoners and materials were handed over to Liu Jiusi and Qin Zixiong to dispose of, and the officials and servants were busy making a mess, and they had already learned the power of Mrs. Jiang more than once.
Next is the time to divide the spoils, according to the prior discussion, most of the credit for suppressing the bandits belongs to Long Wei and the officers and soldiers of the state capital, the bandit leader Lei Yihong and others are escorted back to Jingyang Mansion by Du Jitao for disposal, and the general minions are handed over to Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi's road construction plan has just begun.
The seized gold and silver were about 23,000 yuan, and everyone discussed that the emperor was not a hungry soldier, and since everyone had contributed, he had to get some benefits. More than 3,000 fractions are divided into two, half of which belongs to Fuluo County, half to the state capital, and the remaining 20,000 integers belong to individuals, Fuluo County takes 30 percent, Long Wei takes 3 percent, the government soldiers take 3 and a half, and the remaining half is given to Shi Qingle. This kind of distribution is very happy, especially Shi Qingle, who has obtained a thousand yuan alone, and they all say that observation is a chore, but he has both fame and profit.
Everyone got the benefits, and the rest of the food and materials were embarrassed to fight with Jiang Anyi, and after a day's rest, Long Wei and the soldiers set off separately to escort Wang Yongqing and Lei Yihong and others back to Jingyang Mansion, and Jin Yiming did not appear in the team.
After returning to Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi always remembered Jin Yiming's relieved expression in the face of death, and took the time to interrogate Jin Yiming in prison, and learned that he was originally a child in Ningping County, and his wife committed suicide after being defiled by Xu officials, he killed Xu officials in anger and was detained in prison to die, it happened that Lei Yihong led people to rob the county government and released him easily, Jin Yiming had nowhere to go, so he followed Lei Yihong up the mountain to be a coward. Because Jin Yiming thanked Lei Yihong for saving his life, he followed with an iron heart and came up with a lot of good strategies to make Huangyangzhai gradually grow, gain Lei Yihong's trust, and promote him to be the master of the second village, relying on him as a confidant.
Jin Yiming's experience reminded Jiang Anyi of the scene when he sold bamboo in Xinqi County, if there was no Yu Shi at that time, he might have killed people in anger, if someone rescued himself from prison like Lei Yihong, maybe he also fell into the grass like Jin Yiming, the officials forced the people to rebel, and some things were really helpless.
It was probably a capital crime to be escorted to Jingyang Mansion, and Jiang Anyi privately begged Du Jitao to reduce Jin Yiming's crime and stay in Fuluo County to do hard labor and repair roads with his minions. At the beginning, Jiang Anyi promised them that after two years, he would let them return. After this catastrophe, Jin Yiming's dead heart subsided, received Jiang Anyi's kindness, and after his injury was healed, he went to build the road with his minions.
Shi Qingle didn't leave, he still had a task, the Son of Heaven wanted to implement the policy of governing officials in the world, Fuluo County was the selected pilot, Shi Qingle was ordered to assist Jiang Anyi to clean up the officials and bring back the experience. Shi Qingle is in a very good mood, this trip to Fuluo has gained fame and fortune, if he can do a good job in the rectification of Fuluo County, he will be promoted after he goes back.
After listening to Shi Qingle's words, Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "Lord Shi, the important ministers of the court and the central government can't think of any good way, what can Jiang do?" This rectification of the rule of officials is a big article, and Jiang is still busy with 'combining taxes into one', and he is really powerless. ”
Shi Qingle said with a smile: "An Yi is not in a hurry, Ma Zhongshu has thought of three methods, one is to select the best officials, and the capable ones can be selected from the children's talents, the second is to test the performance of the officials, and allow them to be promoted to officials, and the third is to increase the punishment so that they dare not break the law." ”
Jiang Anyi didn't say anything, during this time he thought a lot about how to change the status quo of the officials in Fuluo County, and he had discussed with Mr. Zhang many times, but he couldn't find a way. Ma Zhongshu's method may be able to alleviate the problem of government governance, but the symptoms are not the root cause, and the problem of government governance eventually returns to the old road. Perhaps after the "tax union into one", the officials will have no opportunity to take advantage of it, and the government will improve, but there are still many difficulties in "tax consolidation", and they have not yet considered it completely, and they act rashly and mislead in major events.
Seeing that Shi Qingle was very interested, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "Brother Shi, as an observer, should have a deep understanding of the governance of officials, Jiang wants to borrow Brother Shi's talents and learning, and implement the policy of governing officials in my Fuluo County. ”
Of course Shi Qingle is willing, the Son of Heaven has a decree to choose a county in each state to try out the policy of governing officials, if it is successful, it means that the clouds are rising, the reason why Shi Qingle is not going to leave Fuluo County is that he wants to intervene in the trial trial of Fuluo County, and he will have to participate in the future examination. Now that Jiang Anyi has put the matter of governing officials on him, and is willing to take the responsibility for failure, Shi Qingle certainly can't ask for it.
In the golden autumn of September, after a few autumn rains, Fuluo County became cooler. The sky is high and the clouds are light, Jiang County Commander always takes a group of people out of the city to hunt, and the people are tolerant of this county order that brings them practical benefits, and always welcomes the return of the county order with a smile.
On the powder wall in front of the yamen was posted an official document recruiting examiners and officials, which attracted everyone to look around, and everyone was interested in the fact that both the officials and the officials had a monthly salary of one or two silver, which was a few taels more than the teacher in the school. Seeing that the officials had the requirements of Tongsheng and Xiucai, everyone had to sigh and look at the position of the official with red eyes.
The atmosphere in the yamen is very tense, since the new recruitment means that some people are going to be cleared out of the door, don't look at the current only three or four taels of annual salaries, the secret benefits are far more than ten taels, the county lord is preparing to settle accounts after the autumn, who told us to go against him at the beginning.
At the end of September, official documents from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs came. Jiang An was reinstated, Liu Jiusi took over as county governor, and Qin Zixiong was promoted to chief secretary and concurrently served as county lieutenant; Wang Yongqing's cane is eighty, three thousand miles, Wang Xingren's cane is forty, and he will never be used if he is exempted from office, and Yan Kaichen is demoted to a commoner and fined ten thousand yuan.
The official documents of the state capital were also pasted on the pink wall, and everyone sighed that good was rewarded with good, and evil was rewarded with evil, and soon, the official documents were as yellow as autumn leaves, and no one paid attention to them. The people of Fuluo County are happy that they can earn dozens of copper coins more every month, and life seems to be getting better and better.
Everything was as silent as a slanting wind and drizzle, Jiang Anyi had already moved into the Donghua Hall, looked at the rain outside the window, returned to his desk, and wrote on the fold of the pen, "Propose to try out the "tax integration into one" sparse ".
