Chapter 160: Recruiting Talents, Growing Wings (4)

"The lower officials pay homage to the Great Sima - wealth and wealth will be enjoyed forever, and the prince will be forever!"

"Excuse me!"

Yang'an, Yangcheng, Fupi three places of the county order, county Cheng, the main book, Tingpeng, the secretary's room...... Dozens of people came to the camp and prostrated on the ground to salute, like chickens seeing evil eagles.

After the army entered Runan County, the grain, grass, dried meat, and wine needed were all supplied by these three counties, and the officials also did their best, for fear of offending the military masters and then causing death.

Especially this big Sima -- moody, murderous, today suddenly summoned the officials of the three counties, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, I heard that there is a group of hungry people stealing war horses, don't you blame the bad public security?

"During the southern expedition of the army, Yang'an County supplied 40,000 grains, 3,257 strong men, 1,380 horses, mules, cattle and livestock, 80,000 catties of dried meat, and 500 carts of dried vegetables......"

"Yangcheng County supplies 38,000 grains, 2,970 strong men, and 850 heads of various livestock......"

Several students held an abacus in one hand and flipped through the account books in the other, and calculated the household registration, taxes, and labor in the three counties in the past two years.

Runan County is the closest to Jingzhou, and when Cao's army went south, it was the center of material transportation, so the most men requisitioned, the most grain was extracted, and the most hatred of the people's oppression!

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

"The three county orders of Yang'an, Yangcheng and Fupo have made meritorious contributions to ensure the supply of the army, and the special 'doctor' medal is added to record the great merit once, and the rest of the officials are each 100 taels of gold and 100 horses of silk to show their appreciation!"

"The subordinates are willing to serve Da Sima...... I am willing to go to the soup for the big Sima! ”

Meritorious service will be rewarded, the iron law in the army, not to mention the merit of logistics supply, not under the charge, so Xiao Yi rewarded the officials of the three counties, and it is also a meritorious service, and it is a rain of money!

The officials are grateful, and they continue to swear allegiance, and the three county commanders kowtow like chickens eating broken rice, and if they can get the appreciation of Da Sima, they will inevitably have prosperous official fortunes and rolling financial resources!

No wonder before being summoned, their right eyelid jumped straight, it turned out that there was a great joy coming to the door, but didn't the ancients say that the left eye jumped wealth, the right eye jumped disaster, it seems that what the ancients said is not completely accurate?

But the officials were happy, but the hungry people cried, sure enough, the officials protected each other, the world was as black as a crow, and the superiors only had meritorious deeds and mellow beauties in their eyes, when did they miss the people of Limin?

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

If this matter spreads, the officials all over the world will become tigers and wolves, and only a few people have guessed that Da Sima's style of acting - meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will not be forgiven!

"Yang'an County handed over 40,000 yuan of military rations, and the actual collection was 87,500 hundred, and the tax money was also collected by 40 percent, and a certain ...... of people's rations were deducted."

"Yangcheng County handed over 38,000 yuan of grain, but actually collected 73,000 yuan, and more than 50% of the tax money was collected, and it also used the grain transportation fleet to smuggle for huge profits......

The students did not stop, and continued to take stock of the accounts of the three counties, and put the black tents, flower tents, and sky tents inside...... found them all, and finally made a list and handed it over to Xiao Yi.

No wonder the people of the three counties are miserable, in addition to the normal imperial grain, taxes, there are countless harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the number is more than double the regular tax, no wonder Confucius said: Harsh government is fiercer than the tiger!

"Da Sima forgives his sins, the officials were confused for a while, so that they received the money and food by mistake, which was an unintentional mistake!"

"The army consumes a lot of money, and the officials are also prepared to collect a little more money and food, and please forgive me!"

Seeing that the black account was exposed, the officials of the three counties were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and kept prevaricating with various excuses, hoping to get through the tricks.

Besides, Da Sima just ordered a commendation, so he can't punish it in the blink of an eye, isn't it a slap in the face, because the officials privately judged that it should be the board raised high and gently lowered.

"Hehe--embezzle money and grain, and oppress the people, so that the people are in turmoil, and they dare to beg for mercy with clever words - kill!"

Xiao Yi has always been rewarded for his merits, and he will not forgive his mistakes, and when the word 'kill' exits, more than 100 pro-soldiers poured out on both sides, dragging the officials of the three counties down, and dozens of heads fell to the ground in an instant, and blood stained the banquet hall red......

Maybe it was because he saw Da Sima killing, and in the face of dozens of bloody corpses, the soldiers around him talked and laughed, and they didn't delay eating meat and drinking at all, only Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian were pale, and they almost vomited, and they forcibly pressed back.

Today's iron-blooded scene made them completely understand that Xiao Yi's law enforcement is like a mountain, ruthless, and also understands the weight of the word 'killing gods'.

Next, Xiao Yi sent soldiers and horses to raid the property of dozens of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and distributed all the money, grain, and farmhouses to the hungry people in the three counties, which immediately attracted a voice of gratitude!

Killing dozens of corrupt officials and rescuing a group of suffering people can be regarded as a great deed, but Xiao Yi has no smile on his face, but keeps touching his nose...... And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

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

In fact, at the beginning of the rise of Cao Ying, he attached great importance to the rule of officials, and many clean officials and good officials also emerged, who were deeply loved by the people of Limin, otherwise they would not have swept the Central Plains in more than ten years.

In the past, Cao Ying conquered the Quartet, Cao Cao presided over the overall situation, Guo Jia strategized, Xiao Yi commanded the battle, Xun Yu and Xun You sat in the rear, while appeasing the people, pumping money and grain, while transporting ordnance, grain and grass, and continuously supplying the army, so the Cao army won many battles!

'Erxun' not only has first-class ability, but also extremely noble moral character, and the officials they appoint are all loyal to their duties, fair and honest, so the atmosphere of the Cao Ying group is very good, and there is very little corruption and bribery.

Cao Cao also enforced the law like a mountain, occasionally caught a few black sheep, and immediately punished the crime, even if it was a high-ranking official and noble, the Cao clan was no exception, the officials were honest and honest, and the people's lives were naturally better.

But because of the dispute of political opinions, 'Erxun' committed suicide one after another, and Cao Ying lost important internal affairs talents, although Jiang Ji, Mao Jue, Hua Xin and others were promoted, but they were too poor in ability, morality, and prestige, and they couldn't support the important task of governing the country at all!

Cao Cao was old and frail, and his energy was not as good as before, and he had to personally lead the army to go on the expedition, guard against the die-hard loyalty of the Han family, and beware of someone seizing power...... The supervision of officials is much lax!

The result is: the atmosphere of the imperial court is declining, there are groups of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people are exploited, life is miserable, and there is even a large-scale civil uprising, and Cao's army returned from a crushing defeat in the southern expedition, which is also one of the important reasons!

Then again, dozens of corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been killed, who will manage the three counties of Yang'an, Yangcheng, and Fupi, someone must appease the people and levy taxes, otherwise what will the army eat?

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, you have studied in the university for many years, and it is time to contribute to the country.

The county commander, also known as 'Baili Hou', is in charge of the power within a radius of 100 miles, and is a veritable parent official, is there no one who has the courage to serve as a child of my school? ”

Xiao Yi has already been selected, that is, the student army under his command, and the school has been established for more than six years, and the students are full of economy one by one, and they have experienced the baptism of iron and blood, which is enough to be independent.

What's more, Zhengming Academy was created by himself, and the students are all his protégés, very close emotionally, and absolutely loyal politically.

"Student Anton, please Ying, as the head of a county, he must be diligent and love the people like a son!"

"Student Cai Bin please Ying, serve as the head of a county, and he can't be ruled within three years, and he is willing to kill himself in front of the school!"

"Student Chen Xun ......"

"Student Shen Lei ......"

Zi said: Learning and excellence is the master, students enter the house, worship famous teachers, more than ten years of hard study, isn't it just to go out of the court, out of the general into the phase?

Now that the opportunity is in front of them, they are naturally competing for the lead, even Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian are eager to try, and they have the heart to be a 'Baili Hou', don't look at them pretending to be high-minded, they are eager to make contributions in their hearts!

It's a pity that the three of them are destined to be disappointed, because Xiao Yi has already positioned them: Auxiliary Guo Anbang and Wang Zuozhicai, it is overkill to do the county order, and the state pastor, Dasi Nong, and Zhongshu order are about the same!

Next, among the students, Xiao Yi selected six excellent ones (that is, those who are pleasing to the eye and well-behaved) to serve as the county commanders and county officials of the three counties, share the power of civil and military affairs, and then grant the seal letter and take office immediately!

According to the rules of officialdom, when the protégé is released, the master has to say a few words to show encouragement:

"You will be in charge alone, and you have a few instructions for the teacher: Erlu is good, the people are anointed with fat, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive...... There are those who do nothing - expelled from the school, and there are those who dare to be corrupt and pervert the law - there is no forgiveness for immediate killing! ”

"No!"
