Chapter 956 A pile of mud

After receiving Xiao Ruxun's promise, for a while, the main hall of Huangji Palace seemed to become an auction venue.

Buyers and buyers are bidding for a very rare item, and both sides keep raising the price, and everyone wants to get such a very rare item.

Their words are getting worse and worse, and there are quite a few people who expose each other's old stories, such as Wu Xun scolding civil officials for embezzling money from the state treasury, embezzling various project funds and disaster relief funds, and losing all conscience.

The civil servants scolded the military generals for eating nothing and competing for profits with the people, enclosing land everywhere and dying.

Anyway, they felt that Xiao Ruxun burned all the account books, so he must not care about the past, so they scolded each other to their heart's content, maybe they could get some extra joy.

But they couldn't see through the emotions behind Xiao Ruxun's smiling face.

I only said that those little officials who are like small fish and shrimps should be exempted from the treasury and not be held accountable, but I didn't say that you big fish, prawns, and bastards should not be held accountable.

You have a lot of meat and tenderness, I am still hungry, I have been salivating over you for a long time!

When the situation stabilizes, I will deal with you.

Xiao Ruxun smiled and watched Wen Wu scolding each other, scolding each other like shrews in the neighborhood in the court hall.

interesting.

It's really interesting to watch people fight, and it's really interesting to see these people blushing and thick necked and about to fight for some of the power they throw out.

Where is this the demeanor that a scholar should have?
How is this still what the warriors of nobles for generations should look like?

It was really just a pile of mud.

No matter how much you can lift the rotten things, you can't lift them up.

But how?

For the emperor, this is the bliss, right?
Naturally, Xiao Ruxun was also paying attention to those officials in the court who did not participate in the scolding battle of the century, counting one by one, and keeping their appearance in mind first, these people who are still a little bit ashamed will be rescued in the future.

At the same time, Wang Xijue and Li Tingji are cleaning up the mess left by Shen Yiguan in the cabinet office. Wang Xijue has been promised by Xiao Ruxun to be the chief assistant of the new cabinet. Xiao Ruxun needs Wang Xijue to stabilize people's hearts. Wang Xijue knows this well bright.

Of course, Wang Xijue was more aware of Xiao Ruxun's determination to eradicate the gentry in the local area. He knew that he was just a megaphone in the transitional period, and he might be abandoned and thrown away at any time, and he would no longer be of any use.

But it doesn't matter, Wang Xijue doesn't care about other things at all, he just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace and stability, let his family live in peace and stability, and wait for real peace.

He didn't want to face the tragedy of family ruin and death in his old age, he didn't have such a hard heart anymore.

Therefore, in the face of Xiao Ruxun's strength crushing like Mount Tai, he couldn't raise the thought of resistance at all, and he didn't intend to resist at all.

Naturally, he would never have imagined that the powerful general who fought for the Ming Dynasty would one day become a figure like Zhao Kuangyin, personally overthrowing the dynasty he had worked so hard to protect.

Of course, in a sense, Zhu Yijun was right. Xiao Ruxun was really not an ordinary person. If he hadn't succeeded in stopping Zhu Yijun's frenzied behavior, he might have made them succeed.

Up to now, Wang Xijue has no other ideas. It is enough for the other family to be ruined. He doesn't care about the others. Xiao Ruxun can do whatever he wants with him. Follow these three no-principles in order to spend your old age in peace.

It's not that Li Tingji didn't care, but was frightened, frightened by that terrible momentum.

The madness of the farmers in the local area, and the 20 people in the Lugouqiao camp shouting long live left a deep impression on him, and he seemed to realize something terrible.

From the central government to the local government, Xiao Ruxun is really doing something unprecedented. Li Tingji doesn't know what the result will be, but now, his family has been settled in a separate courtyard in the inner city, with special care for food and clothing. .

He knew that Xiao Ruxun needed him just like he needed Wang Xijue.

The two of them worked honestly in the cabinet duty room together, and didn't say a word except to tell the person to do the work.

Han Zhuo and Ye Xianggao worked together in the Ministry of Officials to sort out the files of the current officials, and they were going to hand them over to the cabinet for Wang Xijue and Li Tingji to deal with. Xiao Ruxun ordered them to find these files, and then classify the files according to their respective places of origin and send them to the cabinet. deal with.

Xiao Ruxun didn't explain how to deal with it.

On the contrary, Han Zhuo was a little interested in Ye Xianggao.

The two also had some encounters in Nanjing, but they didn't have much friendship. During the Northern Expedition, they had some friendship because of work. After they arrived at the Lugou Bridge camp, they became friends because of the persuasion. Ye Xianggao, who was in Xiao Ruxun's camp, was very interested.

At present, not many people in the entire camp know about the land reform. Except for the hardcore Xiao faction who took the lead in turning to Xiao Ruxun, basically no one knows about it. , must be the type of people who were reformed, why are they so active in joining the camp?
Han Zhuo's own family has no money, and his family is in Guangdong, so he has not been affected for the time being. Now Xiao Ruxun promised that he would not be affected, and that he would be rewarded with some land, but he must pay taxes.

What did Ye Xianggao think?

"Jinqing, how is your family?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Zhuo really wanted to know how Ye Xianggao made his decision.

Ye Xianggao looked up at Han Zhuo, then nodded, "The family is all right."

"Then, what about the land at home?"

Ye Xianggao knew what Han Zhuo meant.

"The family sent a letter, saying that the land was handed over directly, and now it is well protected, and part of the land and property of the family have been retained."

It turns out that this is the case, the Ye family is really unusual.

"Then, what do you think? To tell you the truth, my family is in Guangdong, and there has been no land reform. His Majesty also promised me to protect my family and my family's ancestral property, so I'm not worried."

Han Zhuo continued to ask.

Ye Xianggao thought for a while: "The general trend is the trend of the people, and if I go against the current, I will die without a place to die. Therefore, it is better to follow the trend and save my life. There is still hope in the future."

This makes sense.

Although Xiao Ruxun took over the land, he also promised to improve the treatment of officials. He would not only give enough money for food like the Ming Dynasty did. Although he would not be as rich as the Song Dynasty, life would be much easier than the Ming Dynasty.

"Also, I always feel that His Majesty may have other ideas in doing this. It is just to do this kind of thing of equalizing the rich and the poor. People have done it in all dynasties, but they are not as thorough as His Majesty. He does it like this. Don't be afraid. The world is in chaos, and I am not afraid of someone rebelling, what are you planning to do? I am very interested."

Han Zhuo felt that Ye Xianggao's words were not entirely true, but there was some truth in them, and there was probably some truth in them, but in any case, Ye Xianggao could indeed be a courtier of the new court without being purged.

Then, the two sorted out the files of the current officials and sent them to the cabinet together.

According to Xiao Ruxun's request, Wang Xijue and Li Tingji need to select suitable officials from these files and recommend them to Xiao Ruxun, so that Xiao Ruxun can appoint them according to their ability.
