Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Anti-corruption situation ([-])

"Patriarch Zhou, you are the one who is openly dissatisfied with Han Pengju's policy of raising tariffs on business families, you are quite courageous!"

In the Zhou family outside Yecheng, Han Wu sat on the honorable seat of their family, looking at the Patriarch of the Zhou family who was standing nervously.

Han Wu has already begun to change the tariff policy in the counties and counties near Yecheng, and the merchant families are the first to bear the brunt.

The new policy allows business families to get more benefits, and at the same time, they have to pay more tariffs.

The head of the Zhou family expressed his dissatisfaction because of this, and his statement was known to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Han Wu personally came to Zhou's house to see the situation, after all, it was only a family's problem now.

Maybe it's just that this policy is not good for the Zhou family. If other families start to make noise, it will be a little troublesome.

The Patriarch of the Zhou family took a deep breath and replied nervously: "Young Master Han, you are building official roads in the Yecheng area, which is indeed of great benefit to us business families."

"But son, you are a noble son, so you definitely don't know much about commercial families."

"The construction of official roads is very beneficial to those business families who purchase fresh fruits in various places, and it improves the quality assurance of their fresh fruits."

"It's just that for our families who make a living by buying and selling food in various places, building official roads doesn't bring much benefit!"

"Now that you have raised the tariffs of the business family, our income will be even lower!"

"Refined salt, ironware and other lucrative things are also transported and sold by the government. Our aristocratic families are really relying on the accumulated wealth to maintain."

The Patriarch of the Zhou family didn't worry about anything at all, he directly stated the unreasonable part of Han Wu's policy towards business families.

Because he had no intention of going against the State Shepherd's Mansion, the Patriarch of the Zhou family was not afraid that Han Wu would target him.

Han Wu already has a great reputation in Jizhou, and he has never been able to find fault with others.

After hearing the words of the Patriarch of the Zhou family, Han Wu smiled slightly and said, "Oh? According to this, except for the Zhen family who completely obeyed the words of the Zhou Mufu in the vicinity of Yecheng, everyone else has been affected?"

"Then why do families like the Hu family, Wang family, and Liu family seem to be doing well?"

Han Wu asked back, this really made things difficult for the Patriarch of the Zhou family.

He also knew that he shouldn't say some things, but these families were tricky after all.

Seeing the Patriarch Zhou's eyes dodging, Han Wu became even more curious, and said, "Huh? See what you are hesitating in your eyes, tell me!"

The head of the Zhou family was afraid of Han Wu's aura, so he could only say: "My lord, both the Hu family and the Wang family have many children who are officials in various counties."

"Young master may not understand the oil and water of being a county magistrate, but we, the aristocratic families, know it very well!"

"As for the Liu family, I dare not comment in vain, but many of them are officials in counties."

Hearing these words from the Patriarch of the Zhou family, Han Wu's heart skipped a beat, and a word suddenly came to his mind!

corruption!

Corruption of officials has been unavoidable since ancient times. No matter how high the salary is, it cannot feed greedy people.

Han Wu took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Interesting, I have never realized this problem."

"It seems that Jizhou is too rich recently, and indeed some people will steal money from me!"

"I know about this. None of your Zhou family is an official in the county, and you don't evade taxes. We are satisfied."

"It's evil, send someone to call Liu Ye over immediately, and ask him to bring all the officials in charge of taxation in various counties and counties in Jizhou!"

"Tell them, go to Liu's house outside Yecheng, I want to check the accounts."

Han Wu didn't intend to leave this matter to be dealt with later, he decided to take the Liu family first.

The Liu family is the family of Han Wu's mother Liu's family, and many people have blood relations with Han Wu.

However, Han Wu didn't intend to just let the Liu family go, he wanted to check the Liu family's income carefully!
That afternoon, the bloodthirsty tiger guards surrounded the Liu family, and all the clan members were surrounded in the courtyard.

The current patriarch of the Liu family is Han Wu's cousin by duty, and he really wants to know why Han Wu did this.

"Pengju, you led troops to surround our own house, what's the matter?"

Liu Jing is the current head of the Liu family, and is Han Wu's elder in terms of seniority.

The younger boys and girls of the Liu family in the courtyard were all frightened and cried. They had never seen such a vicious soldier before.

Han Wu sneered, and said, "Liu Jing, I don't care what blood relationship you have with me, but I just want to check the Liu family's accounts today."

"My father has indulged the aristocratic families in Jizhou for too long. You aristocratic families have too many children who are officials. I really want to know if you have stolen my money!"

"Those of the Liu family who are officials in various counties and counties have also been invited back by my troops, and they are probably on their way."

"I also asked someone to thoroughly check their family wealth. If the accounts are not correct...hehe!"

Han Wu smiled slightly, he glanced at Liu Jing, and ignored him.

Liu Jing was furious, and shouted: "Han Pengju! I am your elder, yet you are so disrespectful to me! Don't go too far!"

"After your parents come, I'll see how you end up!"

Liu Jing was actually very nervous because he knew what his family had done.

But he still wants to frighten Han Wu and try his best to rectify the accounts in the world.

Lu Zhishen saw Liu Jing yelling at the lord, so he pressed him to the ground and slapped him on the shoulder twice.

"Old man, you still dare to yell at our lord? You have a bullshit relationship with our lord, didn't you see that our lord doesn't regard you as an elder?"

"Get off to the Sajia and wait, if it is found that someone in your family has embezzled the government's money, the Sajia will beat you into a pig's head first!"

Lu Zhishen directly dragged Liu Jing into the courtyard and asked him to stay here too.

Lu Zhishen also hated corrupt officials, so he naturally wanted to vent his anger.

The lord will not just surround the Liu family without explanation, there must be something wrong with the Liu family.

Half an hour later, Han Fu also rushed over with Mrs. Liu. After all, this is a big event!
His own son led troops to surround Liu's family, and now the whole Yecheng area got the news.

Han Fu hurriedly walked into the gate of Liu's house, and saw Liu Jing standing in the courtyard, sweating coldly.

And Han Wu was sitting in the hall, crossing his legs and looking outside.

Mrs. Liu felt a little unhappy, after all, her son actually did something to her natal family.

As soon as Mrs. Liu and Han Fu came to the hall, Han Wu took the lead and said, "Father, mother, my son suspects that the Liu family is corrupt and accepting bribes as an official, and is going to thoroughly investigate the Liu family's accounts."

"If the officials of the Liu family did not take bribes, then the child will apologize to the Liu family in front of all the people in Yecheng in a few days."

"If it is found that the Liu family is indeed corrupt, then deal with it according to the law and clean up the Liu family."

"Of course, although this is a matter of government affairs, it should be handled by my father. But my father's wrists don't seem to be very strong, let Wu'er do it for me!"

Han Wu's words were quite straightforward, leaving both Liu Shi and Han Fu speechless for an instant.

They naturally know what's tricky about the Liu family.

It's just that after all, the Liu family has a relationship with the State Shepherd's Mansion, so Han Fu turned a blind eye.

But Han Wu didn't intend to forgive anyone today, even if hundreds of county magistrates were dismissed, Han Wu would have to do something big.

The most important thing in Jizhou is talents. At worst, Han Wu can learn from Cao Cao in his previous life and come to recruit talents.

Because in Han Wu's view, the governance of corruption cannot be delayed!
