Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 405 Lazy Politics
"Xun Yu?" The Household Office, after listening to Huang Xu's report, Zhao Wen went to Xun Yu's place after leaving. Chu Nan nodded. Chu Nan didn't want to kill this talented Wang Zuozhi, but for a while I can't find a reason to let the other party come out to work. After all, the two sides run counter to each other in terms of philosophy.

Xun Yu's showing weakness now does not mean that the other party recognizes him.

Staying in Xuchang is just leaving a retreat for the Xun family, after all Xun Chen and Xun You are now with Yuan Shao.

"He doesn't need to monitor, just keep an eye on people like Zhao Wen." Chu Nan said to Huang Xu.

He knew very well that with Xun Yu's ability, it would be difficult to monitor if he was going or what he was going to do. After all, there are not many people in the world who are proficient in strange sects. Cao Cao had four at that time, which is outrageous. Even if there is no other external blessing, for those who don't know Qimen, it is also a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Here!" Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and seeing that Chu Nan had no other orders, he took a step back and disappeared into the shadows. He was like the ghost of this government office, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Only Chu Nan needs it. He would appear by Chu Nan's side anytime.

Wang Zifu and Wu Shuo submitted the paperwork at the same time, and wanted to transfer to another government office, but were detained by Chu Nan. These two tools are capable and hardworking, so it is good to stay here.

But from yesterday to now, the work enthusiasm of the two seems to have weakened. Chu Nan took a look secretly with his mind-reading power, and realized that he already knew their details, so he didn't want to pretend anymore.

Think about it, among the six ministries, even Kong Rong's Ministry of Rites has no spies, but the Household Office, which should have spies the least, is almost all of its own staff, except for Chu Nan, the Minister of the Household Department. .

Although there are many powers in contact with each other on weekdays, none of them can be controlled. Chu Nan will not bother with them about some small matters, but when it comes to major matters that need to be decided, Chu Nan does not give them a chance to intervene.

Want to strike?
How does that work?
You guys are on strike. Could it be that I, a good man from Chu, can't handle so many things in the household department?
After discussing the Anbu matter, Chu Nan left the government office and went to the Xuchang county magistrate's office. The new county magistrate was named Guo Zhen, who was promoted by Chu Nan from the grassroots. Naturally, Xuzhou's humble talents did not have a good reputation. But the ability is good. He has served as county magistrates in Xiapi, Guangling, Jianghuai, and Runan before.

It can be regarded as a relatively top-notch group of talents in Xuzhou.

"I've met Lingjun." Seeing Chu Nan Guo Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No need to be too polite." Chu Nan sat down and said with a smile, "There is something I need you to do."

"Please tell me." Guo Zhen bowed.

"Officials headed by Prince Fu and Wu Shuo from the Household Department, pay attention to their families." Chu Nan took a sip of the water served by the waiter and said.

"Your Majesty wants to..." Guo Zhen looked at Chu Nan, who has been dealing with officials' children these days. Could it be that he is going to attack the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

Although the grade is not high, Guo Zhen knows some secrets under Lu Bu's command even as a backbone.

"No, it's not good to do too much of this kind of thing. Some minor incidents, as well as their family's property, those shops, etc., have people check it every few days, and remember that everything has to be legal. Comply with the rules, don't judge randomly, there is no problem, have a better attitude with others, and don't let people find faults." Chu Nan put down his water glass and said.

It is not advisable to fish under one's own hands.

Guo Zhen understood, nodded and said, "Don't worry."

In fact, this kind of method is very common. Generally, government officials will use this method to deal with some small merchants and hawkers. In fact, this kind of thing is very draining on the hearts of the people. It has also encountered this kind of thing in the past when Chu Nan was doing business, and it must be dealt with in the future. , This kind of thing may seem insignificant, but it will damage the foundation and credibility of the imperial court.

The harm of high-ranking officials may be a policy issue, which is macroscopic, but the harm brought by the grassroots officials and officials is immediate. There is no provision in this regard in the new law. After that, it's time to clean up the officialdom.

For defeating Yuan Shao, Chu Nan still has a certain degree of confidence, not because of history. In history, Cao Cao's ability to defeat Yuan Shao was naturally a factor, but luck also accounted for a large proportion.

His confidence comes from the system. The population of Yanyu and Xu Sanzhou is no less than that of Yuan Shao. After the New Deal is stabilized, Lu Bu's ability to mobilize the population under his rule is definitely stronger than Yuan Shao.

As for the most important problem of food and grass, as long as there is a one-year buffer time, Chu Nan can solve it. When two big forces confront each other, isn't it about their respective comprehensive strengths?

In terms of comprehensive strength, as long as Chu Nan is given time, Chu Nan has the confidence to overwhelm Yuan Shao. This is an institutional advantage. Although his new law has shaken the original foundation, it has injected new vitality and a new power class. With the motivation to strive upward, as long as the people can see hope, they are willing to come out to maintain this hard-won life.

In the next few days, Wang Zifu and others chose to lie flat, procrastinating things as soon as they could. People were surprised to find that the household department, which used to be extremely efficient in handling affairs, suddenly seemed to have changed its appearance.

However, accidents happened frequently in the homes of these officials. From time to time, family members were taken away by the yamen for interrogation, or their properties in the city were seized, and they opened again after two or three days when they found nothing wrong.

"It must be Chu Nan!" Wang Zifu gritted his teeth, seeing that Chu Nan was not in a hurry these two days, he knew that it was Chu Nan who was playing tricks behind his back.

"What should I do about this matter?" Wu Shuo was a little helpless. The matter was not a big deal, and they didn't even need to take care of it. There is no peace.

"It's nothing more than trying to force us to work for him. Hmph, since ancient times, how can there be such a reason for being under the emperor? How can we be coerced by him!?" Prince Fu snorted coldly.

But the next day, he found that many officials began to work hard, and the families of these hard-working people were much more peaceful.

This made Wang Zifu very angry.

"Scholars must have integrity, where is your integrity!?" After Chu Nan went out, Wang Zifu pulled several hard-working officials over and shouted angrily.

"Sir, what Lingjun said is correct. These things are my own business. In his position, he should seek his own government and use lazy politics to fight against his superiors. What kind of character is there?" A chief official smiled wryly. .

"I..." Wang Zifu was a little annoyed, but what he said was reasonable, and said angrily, "Then please resign!"

Wu Shuo sighed and said, "Zifu, where are you going to resign? My family and I are all here in Xuchang, and according to Lingjun's style of conduct, if I wait to be his enemy wholeheartedly, I'm afraid it will end badly."

With Chu Nan's way of doing things, if you trip me up and don't make it easy for me, I have plenty of ways to make you sad. Look at Zhang Yi's calculations this time, and Chu Nan's counterattack methods will not make things difficult for you, but in your family If you find fault with your body, as long as you have it, you will be severely punished!
The reason why the aristocratic family is called a big family is because there are many children. Which family does not have a few unlucky dudes? If there are no children in the family, will there be any in the family of brothers and sisters?

It is reasonable and lawful for them to deal with you. If they want to move out with their families at that time, many problems will arise. You can leave if you want to, but first explain the problems clearly and check them one by one. If you have never persecuted anyone or embezzled public property, Then go, if you find out, then I'm sorry, let's stay, first make atonement for the sin before leaving.

It is difficult for scholars to start a family clean. Even if they are clean, they cannot guarantee that their clansmen will bully others. If we really need to investigate thoroughly, whose buttocks can be clean?

This time the Song Bin turmoil also made the scholars see some things clearly. If you want to plot against others, you should wipe your butt clean first. Check back.

Chu Nan would not do this easily, but they believed that Chu Nan would not mind doing it when needed.

People are just asking them to do their job well, this request is not too much, why bother?
Resigning collectively, isn't this forcing Chu Nan to play tricks on them?

Therefore, many people, including Wu Shuo, backed down. In the current situation, one more thing is worse than one less thing. In the face of a person like Chu Nan who has no taboos, it is better to provoke less.

In fact, after this incident, many gentry have already started to fear Chu Nan from the bottom of their hearts. As long as you dare to play dirty, he will definitely be more ruthless than you. How they used power to toss people in the past, now Chu Nan can do the same Use the right to toss you back.

And Chu Nan's attitude is also very simple, I don't ask you to be loyal to me, but you have to do something for me. If you do it well, everyone will live in peace, receive your salary, and do as the official does. If you don't do well, you will be punished accordingly.

But if you make a stumbling block play yin, now the power is in the hands of others, how can you play better than others.

Compromises are not limited to the Hubu group, there are many others. The sense of superiority of the gentry is gradually disappearing under the butcher knife of Chu Nan. Some families have moved to Jizhou or Jingzhou and other places, but this is not allowed. You are gone, but you still have family wealth here.

The imperial court will take back the land and shops at home.

You are here, the current new tax law of the imperial court only changed the tax system, but as long as the land can be shown, it should be yours or yours, and you can pay the tax on time, but if you leave, the land will belong to the public.

Many families who moved to other places before Lu Bu came, the cultivated land left here was directly taken over to the government office. In addition, those who were killed because of their resistance, now more than half of the cultivated land in the three states of the Central Plains belong to the government office. All in all, the arable land in the hands of the gentry has shrunk severely in just two years.

Of course, correspondingly, the population of the gentry has also dropped sharply in the past three years, and many former rich families have been flattened by the implementation of the new law.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Central Plains gentry gradually accepted from the resistance at the beginning to the numbness now.

"Zi Lan, why even you..." Wang Zifu looked at Wu Shuo in astonishment, a little unbelievable.

Wu Shuo shook his head and did not speak.

Things in this world are like this, if you don't compromise, you will die, and no one wants to die, let alone die with your family.

Although he didn't answer, his attitude said it all!
Wang Zifu is numb, now they are not even qualified to strike! ?
