Section 38 Integrity (1/3)
Bringing Zhang Tang into his subordinates, Liu De is quite ambitious, and now is the time to stand up.
Shang Jun changed the law, made the Qin prince the object of authority, and punished the Qin prince's concubine, so no noble minister dared to violate the law of the Shang monarch, and the national strength of the Qin State expanded rapidly.
It's just that when the crown prince ascended the throne, Shang Jun was torn apart......
This story tells Liu De that Liwei is okay, but he can't know whether he is dead or alive.
The object of Liwei must be well chosen.
What kind of people are most suitable for Liwei?
Liu De thought about it for a long time and found that there are two kinds of people who are the most suitable.
One is that the family road has fallen in the middle, but they don't know whether they are alive or dead, bullying men and women, rampant in Chang'an;
The other is a person who is loyal and honest, even if he is caught with pigtails, he will not hold a grudge, but will only reflect on his mistakes.
And these two kinds of people, Chang'an has.
"Zhang Tang!" Liu pulled Zhang Tang's hand and said solemnly: "I have something to do now, I entrust you to do it, can you guarantee that it will be done beautifully?" ”
Zhang Tang was too young after all, seeing that Liu De was looking forward to him so much, his mind was full of momentum, and he bowed: "Please ask Your Highness to command, your subordinates will not disappoint Your Highness!" ”
But it's no wonder he's not.
Learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, is the ambition of countless young people in the world today.
At his age, he can gain the trust of a prince and regard him as the backbone of his cronies, where can he be calm?
"I heard that the Marquis of Biyang has long been disobedient and secretly colluded with foreign vassals, you bring some people to keep an eye on him!" Liu De instructed lightly: "If you get the evidence, you don't need to ask for instructions, just take it!" ”
This is a small benefit of being born again.
In the previous life, the Marquis of Biyang was discovered around this point in time to secretly store warriors, secretly hide armor, and also had secret correspondence with Liu Bi, the king of Wu, so Prime Minister Shen Tujia ordered Tingwei to go to ask for the guilt, and before Tingwei arrived at the mansion of the Marquis of Biyang, the Marquis of Biyang committed suicide.
Knowing this, Liu De naturally jumped out unceremoniously to pick peaches.
"Your Highness, in what name should the ministers monitor the Marquis of Biyang?" Zhang Tang lowered his head and asked: "The subordinate is just a hundred stone officials, and it is really impossible to arrest a marquis!" ”
"You don't need to ......be anxious about this," Liu De said confidently: "The reason why I ordered you to be the commander of Huai City is here, the evidence of the Marquis of Piyang's private accumulation of warriors and armor is hidden in the secret vault of several shops under the name of the Hou Mansion of Piyang City, after you find the evidence of the Marquis of Biyang's conspiracy, you can directly arrest him as a city order!" ”
The market officials of the Han dynasty had a transcendent position in their respective markets.
According to the decree issued by Liu Bang, the city magistrates, city officials, and even non-compliant soldiers in the city have the right to arrest anyone they deem suspicious in the city, but anyone who dares to obstruct it will be punished.
In the decades since the founding of the Han Dynasty, more than a dozen marquis have been questioned by the court for colliding with the city officials in the market, or cut off their fiefs or imposed fines, and some have even been deprived of their titles.
And the place where this Piyang Marquis was found to be hiding his armor in his previous life was in the shop under his name in Huai City.
Later, the government searched out fifty pairs of heavy armor, four rhubarb crossbows, and countless other weapons from his shop.
This is a great case!
According to Han law, private individuals can legally possess weapons of self-defense, including knives, swords, and bows and arrows.
However, it is forbidden for anyone to possess heavy armor and crossbows without permission.
Once discovered, it can be considered a rebellion.
In his previous life, Zhou Yafu was convicted because his son sold fifty pairs of armor.
And this Piyang Hou not only hid his armor, but also hid a rhubarb crossbow, which is a terrible thing!
The big yellow crossbow is a strategic weapon that only the elite of the Han army is equipped with, with a strength of up to ten stones, an ultra-long range, and can even shoot dead enemy generals at a distance of 300 steps.
Hiding this kind of sharp weapon is not preparing for rebellion, is it a playhouse?
Thinking of this, Liu De told Zhang Tang again: "Qing is my most important minister, and I will entrust me with major matters in the future, don't be careless, don't take the lead when you check it......
The rhubarb crossbow is not a vegetarian, and if an arrow is issued, even if it wears heavy armor within a hundred steps, it will be shot through.
Liu De didn't want to find Zhang Tang with great difficulty, but he died in a few days.
Zhang Tang bowed gratefully: "Your Highness is kind, and your subordinates will die in retribution!" ”
In this era, it is not easy to meet a lord who values his talent, is not stingy, and trusts him.
Not to mention anything else, Chang'an City is crowded with scholars and scholars from all over the country who have never met talents, and every day they send poems and essays to the mansions of the Marquis and Lords, but few people are valued, and the essays and poems are often sunk in the sea without echo.
Zhang Tang has known many such friends in the past.
Therefore, at this time, he was really grateful to Liu De and swore allegiance.
"I'll give Qing another 500 gold, of which 200 gold, Qing will use it to settle down the family and buy a house, and the remaining 300 gold, Qing will use it to recruit people and rectify Huai City!" Liu De clapped his hands, and two subordinates came out carrying a box, Liu De opened the box and said: "My Han family has always been stingy with talents!" You can use these first, and then tell me if it's not enough! ”
When he said this, Liu De's heart was dripping blood.
Five hundred gold!
The thousand gold that Empress Bo gave him was half gone!
However, these are necessary expenses that cannot be spent.
Without money, Zhang Tang went to Huai City, and he would definitely not be able to open the situation.
Although he Zhang Tang is powerful, he is not a three-headed and six-armed immortal in the end, and he has no money to reward his subordinates and recruit capable people, so it is impossible to make those officials obedient.
Besides, although the mouth can make people move for a while, after a long time, the mouth cannon will be seen through.
Historically, in order to maintain the unity and efficiency of a political organization, the talent and prestige of the leader are the first, and the second is to be generous to his subordinates without sparing money, and the third is to be strict in discipline and make rules.
Therefore, there are often people in the history books who praise a certain Ming Jun: merit must be rewarded, and fault must be punished.
A person like Liu De, who has no prestige and statement, but has the status of a prince, wants to build an efficient team, first of all, it must not make people chill.
Zhang Tang saw the box full of gold, only felt that his eyes were sparkling, and then he knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the subordinate lives in Hongguli, Chang'an, and his family has ten acres of thin fields and three mansions. ”
This is Zhang Tang's cleverness, he was not dazzled by Huang Jinyao, he knew in his heart that the current key money is secondary, and being able to hug Liu De's thigh is the key, and Zhang Tang is not a greedy person, there are some idealistic things in his heart.
"You can't shirk!" Liu De shook his head: "These two hundred gold are not only for Qing to settle down the family, but also for the maintenance of integrity, to do things for me, you must be dedicated to the public, not selfish!" ”
Liu De patted Zhang Tang's shoulder and said, "I don't live up to Qing, Qing can't live up to me!" ”
Liu Deke really doesn't want Zhang Tang to get involved with those businessmen again in the future, and collusion between officials and businessmen is a bad disease for any regime.
