Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 524 False Population Report
As the flames of war intensified, people all over Hebei also noticed something unusual.

During the cold winter season, civil servants from all walks of life, especially Tian Feng and Chen Gong, who are well-known among the people, began to thoroughly investigate the officials.

The faint smell of blood reverberates under the wind and snow, even if you, Lu Bu, are mighty, you still can't stop the greed of people.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to mobilize grain and grass, some officials really cheated secretly, and the food delivered by 500 peasants was written as 4000 or [-] people in the ledger.

This extra population will consume part of it on the way to escort food and grass. In fact, there are no such extra people, but the food is calculated according to the extra population.

So all these grains went into the pockets of some of the officials!
In King Wu's Mansion, the fiery red light in the charcoal basin was evaporating heat energy, and the whole hall was filled with warmth, while the civil and military officials standing in the hall looked at their king carefully one by one.

Lu Bu looked at the memorial in his hand calmly, and then threw it on the ground lightly, and all the officials shrank their necks in fright.

After waiting for a long while, they dared to raise their heads to look at their king's expression. They saw Lu Bu indifferently looking around at the officials, and said softly, "What should be done according to the law for those who embezzled military rations before the war?"

"Report to the king, and beheaded according to the law! If the complex is serious, the family will be assigned to the frontier."

The officials stared blankly at their king, Lu Bu waved his hands indifferently and said: "Then act according to the law. Since some people are brave, Gu is very curious, whether the Gu knife is not sharp enough, or you are too courageous!"

When he said the second half of the sentence, Lu Bu suddenly became angry and roared at the court officials, and all the officials who were suddenly frightened bowed down and clasped their hands and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Lu Bu's sudden rage was like a raging hungry tiger, with a tyrannical aura in his eyes, which frightened all the officials with fear.

"Are you all just eating dry food? You all stared wide-eyed to see that officials from all over the country have the audacity to falsely report the number of people, 1 civilians, and here in Gu, there are [-] people, and there are more than [-] more mouths Let someone eat it!"

After getting angry, Lu Bu had an expression of gnawing fear, pointing at all the officials and cursing one by one.

"Investigate! Go to Gu Che to investigate to the end, even if you can't find any food that was falsely reported, Gu Che will have to find it. If you can't find it, all the officials involved will be strictly investigated."

"Those who embezzle food officials with thousands of people will be cut in half and taken to the market, their heads will be displayed along the food road, their families and women will be reduced to official prostitutes, and all men will be sent to death camps!"

Wow~ All the officials were terrified all of a sudden. They looked at their king in horror, each of them wiping off cold sweat with guilty conscience.

However, the faces of the officials from poor families changed drastically, and Guo Jia even gave a wry smile. He knew that this time the poor families in the court would be hit hard.

Most of the officials involved in the case came from humble backgrounds, and many of them came from the recruiting hall. Unfortunately, all of them were blinded by greed.

This time it was a heavy punishment!Or to put everyone in fear, if all the women in the family are demoted to official prostitutes, will these women have a bright future?Not at all.

And all the men were sent to the death camps. You must know that the war is about to start. Who are the people in the death camps? All of them are death row prisoners recruited from all over the country. Once the war starts, they will be cannon fodder.

In the cold weather, the officials who came out of King Wu's Mansion secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads carefully, and some of their backs were even soaked in cold sweat.

When all the officials returned to the mansion one by one, they hurriedly ordered, "Quick~ From now on, we have nothing to do with Li Si."

"Damn it, pass it on to Lao Tzu, and I will sever ties with that useless thing from today on!"

Guo Jia looked gloomily at the officials rushing home one by one, he knew that these people were afraid of being implicated.

In recent years, the poor families have deteriorated a bit, one by one began to move closer to the aristocratic families, many aristocratic families even embraced their children, and the talented ones even recruited them as son-in-laws.

There is no doubt that the aristocratic family is deeply ingrained, but the humble family has their eyes buried in greed because of the soft bones of each one.

"Feng Xiao, let's take it easy."

Di Renjie couldn't help sighing, and stepped forward to comfort him, saying that he wasn't discouraged at all, he also came from a poor family.

The poor family and the aristocratic family can only confront each other in the court. Once there is collusion, for example, some officials from the poor family actually fall to the aristocratic family. Under the secret collusion, the atmosphere will be bad.

The king's chair was empty, and Guo Jia sighed when he looked back, and slowly disappeared into the snow rather dejectedly.

"Huaiying, don't be discouraged. The roots of the poor family are still there, but those rotten roots have been removed. Next year, this uncle will be more prosperous."

Jia Xu paused when he passed by Di Renjie, and then whispered comfortingly.

Looking at the officials leaving one by one, Di Renjie finally let out a long sigh, and his eyes were a little blurred. If these officials were more cautious and rational, they would not be like this.

Gogou Chacha couldn't tell the difference from the officials of the family, but even stretched out his hand to touch the military rations. This is simply courting death.

Although they come from a poor family, it has to be said that the children of the aristocratic family may not be able to excel in their education, and some may ignore government affairs, but few people are corrupt.

Without him, what is a family?They are all deeply rooted families that have gone through hundreds or even thousands of years. They have such a rich background. They have never seen any jewelry. They are naturally more sensible than officials from poor families when it comes to property.

"Father, the great battle is imminent, and with such a heavy ceremony, I'm afraid people's hearts will be unstable."

In the study, Lu Bu was drinking tea and playing chess with a thin and feminine man.

Lu Bu didn't even know how to do it. He stared at the territory and said to himself: "In troubled times, we should use heavy codes. These people are already out of the game. They have been out of the game since they fought with the aristocratic family."

"In chess, you have to take one step and look at three steps. This principle applies to everything. Once you sit idly by and ignore it, you will have trouble in the future."

The thin scribe on the opposite side saw Lu Bu's slap, and turned his head to look at the young man who was eighty percent similar in appearance to Lu Bu, showing a gentle smile.

But his smile looked like a vicious hungry wolf in Lu Ying's eyes, which made people repulsed. Anyway, this person's natural appearance gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

"Young Lord, the battle was imminent, but what happened after the war? The war in the Central Plains will become a quagmire, and the king will be completely stirred into it. If the officials in the rear are not severely punished, and if there is no knife dripping blood on their heads, all the officials under the rule will become entangled. how?"

After finishing speaking, the person sighed softly, and slowly made a move, and suddenly part of the sunspots on the chessboard was lost.

"The rotten roots cut off at this time will become fertilizer in the future, and the big tree will grow stronger."

After hearing this, Lu Ying was secretly startled. This unattractive and even uncomfortable scribe dared to speak out so openly.

If it is not dealt with at this time, after falling into the quagmire of the Central Plains war in the future, the officials involved in the rule will snowball like snowballs.

Another thing is that his father doesn't want to see the poor family and the officials of the aristocratic family confused, and the government must distinguish between two forces, that is, the poor family and the aristocratic family.
