Chapter 66

"The officials of our Hejian Kingdom are basically bought, right?" Zhang He signed the last document and threw it aside.

I haven't dealt with it before, so I will help to make suggestions if I die, and leave the specific matters to the people below.

As a result, it is now found that the counties have really spared no effort in embezzling state property.

To say that the money and food stored in various places are completely enough, but they can't wait to consume it in one day, and then ask for it from the county government.

why?
This policy was proposed by you, so any problems that arise will be resolved by you!
Guoyuan and Wang Xiu couldn't help being silent. After reading Zhang He's reply, they checked the original documents and found the problem.

It's really angry to say that they are angry in their hearts, but this is the first time this happens, and they don't know how to deal with it.

"Brother's background is really not enough, yet someone dares to bully us." Zhang He sneered, "If we don't come here this time to make an example, I'm afraid everyone will think that Big Brother is so foolish!"

Guoyuan and Wang Xiu blushed a little. After all, with a wave of Liu Bei's hand, the three of them were responsible for the government affairs.

If they were fooled, it was the three of them who were fooled.

"Da Dao intends to make an example of others, but I don't know what to do?" Wang Xiu took the initiative to ask, which was to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

"I need the help of two people. In this Hejian country, who bought the official position?" Zhang He asked.

If possible, he would like to roll it off and replace it with his own people.

Don't let this kind of official who will only slow you down!
But no, it’s not yet time for the warlords to separate themselves, even if one is pulled down, it’s just another one going up.

Then you have to stand, between the eunuchs and the scholars, you must choose one to start, even if there are problems with both.

He didn't understand, most of those gentry were rich, and even if the family didn't lend usury and didn't control the price of food, he wouldn't believe that they didn't have any collateral in business.

So rich, but also united with local tyrants to embezzle the country's money and food, what is this plan?
Guoyuan and Wang Xiu didn't know Zhang He's emotion, otherwise they would tell him: The purpose is to build a good relationship with the local wealthy family!
There is no help from the local wealthy family, and they even add trouble to you. The people's livelihood under the rule is not only not good, but worse, so I asked you if you still want to be promoted?

Anyway, what was embezzled was the money and food of the big man, and the interests of the big man, not the interests of officials and wealthy families, so what are you afraid of?
After all, the officialdom in the peaceful era is just beating drums to spread flowers. Everyone is losing the country's interests. In the end, some unlucky guy can't clean up the mess and automatically becomes the blame man.

Of course, the previous ones are not much better, just stepping into the higher-end drumming and passing flowers...

Even the emperor had to take the blame, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so powerful that he had to issue a "Sin Ji Zhao".

In the end, it was so rotten that it couldn't continue to rot, and there was turmoil, and the dynasty was changed to complete a new round of resource allocation.

With the entry into the era of peace, a new round of drumming and spreading flowers began...

It's the official's business to have money. The local wealthy family want more money, so they ask you to give it.

Those who know how to be human will make money together, and those who are not able to behave will eventually become puppets of the rich and powerful, and even lose their positions because of this.

The question is, who doesn't want to take a step closer, the more you become an official, the smaller you become, just ask if you are worthy of the investment in the early stage, the support and expectations of the family?
This is what Wang Xiu and Guoyuan thought, but Zhang He was different.

He knew that there was such a thing, but since Liu Bei confiscated all the disputed land, he had already offended the aristocratic family of Hejian Kingdom.

From another perspective, this time is not their revenge against Liu Bei, especially when Liu Bei is not around, it is a good opportunity to strike.

At that time, there will be insufficient money and food, spring plowing will not be done well, the people will complain, and the people in the reclamation corps will not have enough to eat.

In the end, they encouraged them to rebel, even if they could be suppressed in the end, Liu Bei could only obediently lose his official position!

To make matters worse, if the suppression cannot be suppressed, Liu Bei will not only be ruined, but his life will be in danger.

Zhang He knows this, so he intends to make an example of others. He really can't continue to be used to it, or something will happen!

"So, which county magistrate bought an official from Xiyuan?" Zhang He looked at the two, why didn't you speak?

How did Wang Xiu and Guoyuan know, they had to find someone else to ask, and after working for a long time, they finally listed a few people.

The number of people is surprisingly large. Of the eleven counties under the Hejian Kingdom, five of them are hired officials, accounting for almost half of them.

If you look carefully, you will find that among the five people, three of them have the background of eunuchs...

"I'm afraid I'm going to offend the eunuchs to death, but so what?" Zhang He sneered, since he wanted to offend others, he naturally found someone to bully.

If it was Liu Bei, he might be afraid of three points.

But Zhang He is a celebrity after all, and if he does something politically correct, the scholar can't protect himself?

Afraid of an egg, it's over!

That night, I took [-] soldiers and headed towards Chengping County, so as not to delay too long and receive rumors over there.

Arriving near Chengping County, Zhang He was stopped by the county soldiers guarding the gate and interrogated routinely.

After all, more than 200 people, especially soldiers, were courageous enough if they didn't immediately close their doors to meet the enemy.

"Get out of the way!" Zhang He took out a talisman, "I am Zhang He, the military marquis under the Prime Minister's command, and I am temporarily acting as the governor of Hejian. I need to contact your county magistrate if I have anything to do!"

Seeing this, the county soldiers whispered to each other, but finally did not dare to stop.

However, some people went over and reported the matter to the county lieutenant and county magistrate.

"Zhang Changshi, I don't know why you came here in such a hurry, what's the matter?" When he arrived at the government office, the county magistrate had already come out early.

Not to mention him, the county lieutenants have already come out, and even the county soldiers have been summoned to deal with possible emergencies.

"It's nothing, there are some problems with the document submitted by Fang County Magistrate yesterday, so come here to verify it!" Zhang He smiled, and took out the previous document, and of course the transcribed version of the earlier document.

After Zhang He explained, the county magistrate had a strange look on his face. He was spotted just as soon as he made a move?

What's more, he didn't expect that the flaw turned out to be the document that was handed in before, so he really cheated himself.

"It's normal. The Reclamation Corps has added thousands of people these days, so..." the county magistrate immediately made an excuse.

"So I came here, please take out the roster, I want to count the number myself." Zhang He replied.

"Hey, where did I put the roster..." The county magistrate immediately became a little weird.

"It's okay, according to the documents delivered before, the number of people in the Reclamation Corps has been determined, just count the same!" Zhang He said immediately, without waiting for him to say anything, he immediately took people to the station of the Reclamation Corps.

There are tens of thousands of refugees, and it is impossible to concentrate in one place no matter what.

Not to mention that it takes time and materials to gather, just say that so many people gather together, and there are only a few jobs around, how to arrange it?

"How about..." Seeing Zhang He walking away, the county captain came over and made a 'cut' gesture.

"Are you crazy? An accident happened to us with his identity. When the Prime Minister came back, we couldn't finish eating!" Fang County Magistrate exclaimed.

"You can think clearly, it's your bad luck that something happened!" The county lieutenant said in a low voice.

"If something happens to me, don't think about it!" The county magistrate retorted.

Aristocratic families eat big heads, and they also get some, but the county lieutenants and county magistrates don't eat less, everyone is unclean!

"Then you stop talking nonsense, I will do it, and then push it to the reclamation corps! The Prime Minister is also, what kind of reclamation corps..." The county lieutenant muttered, leading people away.

Zhang He's side was blown away. Not only did the Reclamation Corps not have a theoretical 1 people, but only [-] in detail.

Why are there so few? Because the county magistrate and county lieutenant tormented them, food and the like were often withheld, and there was really no other way but to be slaves to the rich.

There is also a part of the barracks that were not built up to standard, and were frozen to death in winter...

Zhang He asked the counties to send people to study and go back to build the camp according to the instructions, but now he actually froze to death. Doesn't this slap him in the face?

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for follow-up reading!
