Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt
Chapter 75 What is taken from the people should also be used for the people!
Chapter 75 What is taken from the people should also be used for the people!
"General, the Queen of the Yamen rescued dozens of boys, all of whom have not yet reached the age of enlightenment, how to deal with it?"
A soldier entered the hall from the rear Yamen and reported to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo lifted the limp Sima Hui with one hand, and asked coldly, "Why are you imprisoning those children?"
"Not imprisoned, but the son of a prisoner."
Sima Hui kept silent like a cicada: "I want to educate...to serve His Majesty as your servant..."
It is a common case for the son of a prisoner to enter the hidden palace as a slave. Talented people can also get rid of their humble status and be reused.
For example, Zhao Gao who was born in the hidden palace!
This Sima Hui had a good plan, for an immature child, after a few years of upbringing and growing up, would have to accept his kindness in a daze.
Sending them to the palace in the future will firstly please Yingzheng and make their position more stable, and secondly, anyone who has a fortune will be his help in the palace!
"The people who are just trying to get into the camp, no wonder they can win over the county soldiers and generals to join you!"
Qin Mo dropped him casually, and cursed in disgust.
Sima Hui's face was ashen and defeated, and he was limp and unable to speak.
Qin Mo ignored him, and turned to the soldier who told him, "Take all the suffering masters who followed you to the Hou Ya to see if there are any descendants of them, and reunite them."
"If the remaining children are unclaimed, they will be adopted by His Majesty when His Majesty arrives!"
"Here."
The soldiers took orders and left.
After a little leaning, there was an excited cry from the back yamen, it was obvious that the sufferer had reunited with the child.
Qin Mo felt a little better for no reason, and asked the generals of Jin Yiwei beside him to interrogate Sima Hui and the county officials.
If there are innocent people released immediately, they should report to Yingzheng afterwards, and they will be honest and self-reliant in the filth, and they will be rewarded heavily.
If anyone slips through the net, the whole city will search and arrest, and by the way, all the relatives of the criminal officials will be arrested and detained.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and after the initial panic, the people in the city gradually understood what had happened.
Then, it was ecstatic!
The common people gathered in groups to complain to Yaqian, complaining about all kinds of evil deeds of county officials, including county and township officials under the county government, and many of them were reported.
Qin Mo was not surprised when he heard the pleas from outside.
Throughout the past dynasties, the administration of officials has always been rotten, either from the top to the bottom, or from the bottom to the top, and there are at most a few people who are alone.
The county government of Nanyang County has turned into such a bear. If the counties and townships below can do well, they will be hell.
Yingzheng's Jinyiwei was first established, and it probably hasn't penetrated into the counties and townships at this stage. Now that the people come to report, it is up to Qin Mo to make a decision...
In fact, there is nothing to decide, because under the Qin law, no common people dare to play the trick of false accusation, and the cost of false accusation of the same crime is too high, since it is said, it must be true!
Qin Mo forced himself to stand up, called some generals who could read and write, and went out of the yamen hall to the door.
When the common people saw his silver helmet and silver armor, they knew he was a high-ranking official, so they couldn't help but silence him, but their eyes were full of hope.
"Anyone who wants to report to county officials should go forward and dictate the transcript, and I will send troops to detain and investigate later."
"If the facts are found, the whistleblower will be rewarded according to the law!"
Qin Fa wrote clearly that those who concealed the law and did not report it would sit together, and on the contrary, those who accused rape and robbers would be rewarded with gold.
"I'm going to report on the Deng county jailer..."
"I report on the elders in Biyang County..."
"The common people have grievances..."
As soon as Qin Mo's words fell, the people immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, blocking the water around the yamen.
The soldiers immediately maintained order, and the generals who could read and write took out bamboo slips, ink and table cases from the yamen, and recorded the identities of the people who came forward and the crimes against the officials.
After each copy was recorded, it was handed over to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo, on the other hand, dispatched troops on the spot, a group of a hundred people in full armor, took the informant out of the city, and went to various counties to arrest the accused officials or squires.
He also instructed the generals leading the team to find out the accomplices in the arrest, and let the local people continue to report. If necessary, more soldiers can be recruited as a supplement, so that no one will slip through the net!
In this way, teams of hundreds of people were sent out, and in the end there were no more people to report. Qin Mo saw that there were nearly [-] county soldiers left in the city, so he just kept doing nothing.
Divide them into teams of hundreds of people, and spread out to raid the counties and townships of Nanyang County, so as not to miss one place.
And there are only [-] imperial guards stationed in the city, waiting for Ying Zheng to arrive!
……
……
Three days later, in the evening, the patrol team finally arrived at Wancheng.
When Ying Zheng and Baiguan were on the way, they had already learned of Qin Mo's madness, which could be called a cleansing of Nanyang officialdom.
It was too exaggerated, and the entire Nanyang County fell into administrative paralysis!
Some county and township government offices were even empty. When the royal driver passed by, only the common people watched, but no officials greeted him...
Even if you can't tolerate and raise traitors, you shouldn't be so eager, after all, it will take time to recruit officials to make up for it!
However, when Ying Zheng saw Qin Mo, the little complaint in his heart disappeared immediately.
"Aiqing, why... why are you so haggard after not seeing you for a few days?"
Ying Zheng got out of the Yuyu car, looked at Qin Mo with sunken eyes, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.
All the officials behind him, as well as Fusu, Yuanman and others, were also stunned: "Master Qin is sick?"
Qin Mo broke away from Yu Ji's support, bowed his hands and said, "I'm fine, just rest up for a few days."
Ying Zheng's beard trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after a long while, only sighed softly.
From the hundred officials accompanying him, he selected Qin Mo to raid Wancheng and capture the officials of Nanyang County, because he had known for a long time that the soldiers of Nanyang County's Weijun were all Qin Mo's old subordinates.
Qin Mo came to investigate and deal with it, and could avoid many troubles!
He also believed in Qin Mo, and would not bend the law for personal reasons!
But the facts proved that Qin Mo did not live up to his expectations. The county lieutenants and generals involved in the incident have all committed suicide and apologized.
Thousands of county soldiers were under his command, and they were obedient and did not make any trouble.
However, he forgot what kind of temperament Qin Mo is!
Those Paoze brothers who followed Qin Mo through life and death in the past, and stirred horses and spoons in the pot, did not die on the battlefield, but killed themselves in front of Qin Mo one by one.
The psychological blow this caused to Qin Mo was terrifying.
At least for someone like Qin Mo, it was terrifying, even enough to destroy him!
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo who seemed to be ten years older in the afterglow of the setting sun, and couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.
Asking Qin Mo to run this errand is completely worth the candle!
"Love Qing, the other generation will take the blame for themselves, so why should Qing be so concerned?"
Ying Zheng took a few steps forward, walked arm in arm with Qin Mo, and comforted him in a low voice as he entered the backyard of the government office.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Qin Mo no longer tried to hold on, and said with a wry smile: "People are like this, they don't care about their own affairs and hang on high until it falls on their own head, so they don't know how tormented they are."
"Chen, after all, I'm just a layman!"
Ying Zheng frowned secretly when he heard this. In the past, Qin Mo was not down-to-earth, and he felt awkward, so he tried every means to drag Qin Mo down from the sky.
Including matching Qin Mo and Yuan Man, they also have such thoughts.
But now, his goal was achieved in another way, pulling Qin Mo down from the sky.
But it seemed that Qin Mo fell into the wrong place and fell directly into the quagmire, drowning half to death, losing all energy and energy.
This is definitely not the result he wanted!
"Ai Qing, but I blame you for not being considerate, and sending you to investigate the robe?"
Ying Zheng didn't know how to comfort Qin Mo, so he had to bring the topic to himself.
This trick really worked, Qin Mo immediately shook his head and said: "I come to investigate, at least I can leave them with a whole body, so they don't have to suffer torture."
"Your Majesty does not blame the minister for conniving at them to avoid punishment, it is the greatest sympathy for the minister!"
Ying Zheng patted his arm and said with a smile: "Since Ai Qing also knows that it is a great fortune for her generation to be able to commit suicide, so there is no need to worry about it."
"Aiqing is worthy of the robes and friendship, and she should have no regrets in her heart."
"Even if the other generation has entered Jiuyou, if you think about it, you should also appreciate Aiqing and care for your kindness!"
Qin Mo sighed in shame, but didn't answer any more.
It's still the same sentence, anyone can say a few words if things don't fall on their own heads, and only when they fall on their own heads will they know how powerful they are.
"Aiqing..."
"I have ten thousand words to play, and it may be possible to avoid the recurrence of the Nanyang incident in the future, at least it should be able to avoid some!"
Ying Zheng wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Qin Mo just happened to take out a stack of blank paper from his pocket and presented it in front of him.
Ying Zheng froze for a moment, then reached out to take it for inspection.
The white paper was threaded and stapled into two volumes, one with military regulations at the beginning, and one with official regulations at the beginning, and there was no cover, and the eyes were full of petty seal characters written in charcoal.
Such a thick stack of blank paper, filled with petty seal characters, is a 'true book of ten thousand words'!
"Your Majesty, you know why the generals and generals of the Nanyang Army join forces with Sima Hui, the governor of the county, to plunder the people's wealth?"
After Qin Mo presented the Wanyan book, he seemed to have put down a big stone in his heart, and spoke again.
Ying Zheng shook his head to express his ignorance, and asked back, "Isn't it because of greed?"
Qin Mo smiled wryly: "Yes, and no."
"Maybe there are greedy people, but most of them are soldiers who have been garrisoned for a long time, and their own resources, clothing and food have been exhausted, and it is difficult to continue."
"Even if the generals of that generation subsidize the annual salary, they will definitely not be able to support thousands of soldiers. If they don't want to starve to death, they can only grab food from other people!"
Ying Zheng was dumb, but speechless.
According to what Qin Mo said, the generals and officers of the Nanyang Army were forced by the imperial court to take risks and seize people's wealth!
After a long while, Ying Zheng suddenly said again: "Why don't you apply for a loan from the imperial court..."
But after he finished speaking, he shook his head: "I think it's too simple!"
The soldiers applied for loans from the imperial court, and the interest was very high, and it would be a usury for future generations.
Once you can't pay, you will be punished. Daqin has a large number of prisoners available all year round, most of whom are service soldiers or ordinary people who can't pay the loan.
Before the unification of the six countries, soldiers fought on the front lines, and when the resources were used up, they borrowed as well.
After all, no matter whether it is self-provided or borrowed, it is an initial investment. As long as you can cut off the enemy's head, everything will be solved naturally.
But now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed, except for the frontier fortress, the soldiers have no chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Moreover, the frontier fortress is under military control, and there are few people and a large land.
But Senai is different. If you want to fill your stomachs, you have to invade the fields of the common people...
In addition, even if the time of defense in Senai is not overdue, not all soldiers can prepare enough wealth, clothing and food for a year. If they borrow money from the court, they will be finished for a lifetime.
Therefore, the chaos of the Nanyang Army was really forced out by the imperial court!
"As Ai Qing once said, the law of troubled times has come to this day, and there are many things that are out of date, and it is indeed necessary to reform the law."
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and looked at the two booklets in his hand.
He didn't leave either, he found a gazebo and sat down, and began to read in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The first volume of the reform of the military system does not touch on the regular soldiers, but only on the standing army of the garrison soldiers.
Ying Zheng nodded secretly. It was obvious that Qin Mo completely overthrew the existing military service system without coming up.
After all, the Southern Expedition to Baiyue is imminent, and it is not a good thing to rush!
To change the first article, it is to reduce the interest of the court loan, as low as [-] yuan per year, and only need to repay [-] yuan if you borrow [-] yuan.
There is also a policy of installment repayment. A loan can be repaid in several years. The earlier the loan is repaid, the lower the interest. If you borrow this year and repay it next year, the interest is as low as [-].
Ying Zhengang also praised Qin Mo for his thoughtfulness, but after reading this article on reducing loan interest, he couldn't help but smack his lips again.
He has no objection to lowering the interest rate, but this is too severe.
It's like falling directly from the sky to the center of the earth. If the court acts like this, it will be earning hard money, or even not earning hard money, and working for soldiers and common people for nothing!
Qin Mo was standing beside him, and seeing the strange expression on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, the treasury's wealth is taken from the people and should be used for the people."
"The reform of the minister's military system is also based on this. If the interest rate is not lowered, it will be a castle in the air, and it will be impossible!"
Ying Zheng was noncommittal and continued to read.
The second is to adjust the service time of the garrison soldiers, from one year to three years. One service is exempt from service for life, and if there is a national war, it will be counted separately.
This can be regarded as a lure, and it is still very tempting for the common people who need to serve the pawns every year.
However, this does require the court to cooperate with lowering interest rates. Otherwise, small private households, even if they can afford it, are very few.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's resistance to cutting interest rates has been somewhat eliminated.
After all, a three-year-old pawn will far surpass today's one-year-old pawn in terms of combat effectiveness. It must be twice the result with half the effort if he is pulled out to fight!
Then look down on the third article, and the resistance to cutting interest rates in Ying Zheng's heart completely dissipated.
In the garrison army, missionary officers are set up, who are independent from generals and military judges, and are responsible for the life education of soldiers.
In this way, the garrison soldiers guarding the counties in Senai no longer need to be limited to the children of Guanzhong, but only use the children of Guanzhong as the backbone, and recruit the soldiers from other counties to serve as garrison soldiers in other counties.
In addition to training and fighting, the missionary officers taught the soldiers to read and understand the law, and instilled the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They did this for many years, and even if they retired after three years, they had become supporters of the Qin system.
When they return to their hometowns, they will be scattered among the people, or they may be converted into officials, which will have far-reaching effects!
……
Qin Mo was obviously stimulated too much, and it was rare that he was not lazy, so the military system reform strategy that Jin Zou gave to Ying Zheng was not the general strategy in the past.
It's about every clause, every detail, written clearly, Ying Zheng raised his head after reading it, only to realize that it was already dark, and beside him were Fu Su Yuanman, Yu Ji and Zhao Gao, holding lamps for him .
"This change is very feasible, Ai Qing has worked hard!"
Ying Zheng was overjoyed, looked at Qin Mo, who was sitting beside him, and praised him generously.
I had a cold and a fever, and I was put on observation when I went to the hospital... I just came back... Thanks to the emperor who opened the crotch pants for the 100-point reward!

In this way, the garrison soldiers guarding the counties in Senai no longer need to be limited to the children of Guanzhong, but only use the children of Guanzhong as the backbone, and recruit the soldiers from other counties to serve as garrison soldiers in other counties.
In addition to training and fighting, the missionary officers taught the soldiers to read and understand the law, and instilled the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They did this for many years, and even if they retired after three years, they had become supporters of the Qin system.
When they return to their hometowns, they will be scattered among the people, or they may be converted into officials, which will have far-reaching effects!
……
Qin Mo was obviously stimulated too much, and it was rare that he was not lazy, so the military system reform strategy that Jin Zou gave to Ying Zheng was not the general strategy in the past.
It's about every clause, every detail, written clearly, Ying Zheng raised his head after reading it, only to realize that it was already dark, and beside him were Fu Su Yuanman, Yu Ji and Zhao Gao, holding lamps for him .
"This change is very feasible, Ai Qing has worked hard!"
Ying Zheng was overjoyed, looked at Qin Mo, who was sitting beside him, and praised him generously.
I had a cold and a fever, and I was put on observation when I went to the hospital... I just came back... Thanks to the emperor who opened the crotch pants for the 100-point reward!
