The king behind the empress

Chapter 283 The idea of ​​reform

There were more than 100 county soldiers who ransacked the house in the Wu Mansion. Except for a dozen of them who were particularly timid and fearful, the rest of the county soldiers more or less secretly hid some property.

For these people, Mo Zizai showed no mercy, and beheaded all of these more than 100 people outside the gate of the Wu Mansion.

The open space outside the Wu Mansion was full of people's heads, and the smell of blood rose to the sky, as if it was a Shura field.

All the surrounding soldiers were pale and trembling, but no matter how scared they were, even if the blood on the ground soaked many of their shoes, none of them dared to move.

More than 4000 county soldiers seemed to have turned into sculptures at this moment, not even daring to breathe.

Mo Zizai looked at the silent soldiers and knew that the scenes of more than 100 beheadings had been completely imprinted in the minds of these soldiers. Unless there was something more terrifying than beheading threatening them in the future, they would definitely not be killed. Don't dare to disobey his orders.

Therefore, Mo Zizai didn't intend to continue killing any more. He looked at those county soldiers and said lightly: "The so-called county soldiers are paid by the imperial court and eat the food of the imperial court, so they should listen to the imperial court's order." .”

"I don't care what family you belonged to before you joined the army, and I don't want to care about whose adopted sons you are. In short, since you joined the army, you should obey the military orders. If you violate the military orders, no matter who you are or what background you have, you will die. ,understand?"

"understood!"

The four thousand county soldiers who had no experience in shouting slogans were self-taught at this time, and when they understood the two words, they shouted extraordinarily neatly and loudly.

"Okay, that's what I want."

Mo Zizai looked at the uniform answers of the county soldiers, and couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. This man just wanted to push, otherwise they wouldn't know their potential.

However, it is obviously inappropriate to only punish and not reward. Although the method of slapping a sweet date is almost used by others, it is still very useful.

So Mo Zizai, after intimidating these county soldiers, slowly said: "The harvest from this house raid should all be confiscated into the national treasury, but I'm not a stingy person, so naturally I won't let you watch."

"All those who participated in the ransacking of the house will be given a reward of 100 taels of silver, and the generals will calculate it separately. The silver reward will be distributed immediately after the house raid is completed."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the terrified county soldiers. They thought they would get nothing this time, but they didn't expect that Mo Zizai would give them a bounty of 100 taels.

Although the value of this money is incomparable to the value of the gold, silver and jewelry stolen from the house, it is not a small amount for the county soldiers. After all, their monthly salary is only 20 taels of silver, and 100 taels, that is theirs. Five full months of salary, which is already considered a considerable windfall.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord..."

Before, he looked at Mo Zizai's soldiers with fearful eyes, but now he looked at Mo Zizai with gratitude. After all, for these ordinary soldiers, those big families are too far away from them, and they have no relationship with them. Not much, only the silver in front of you is real.

"You don't have to be polite, since you have chosen to contribute to the country, Da Zhou will definitely not let you down."

Mo Zizai suddenly became approachable at this time, and he said with a gentle smile on his face: "This king also knows that the county captain Yuan Penghai has not only slammed the bell, but also rang the button, and even ordered his subordinates to issue usury loans to you, resulting in You worked so hard, not only did you not get a penny, but you owed them a lot of money."

"This matter is due to the improper employment of the court. In the future, this king will advise the court to employ people carefully. Scum like this will never let them have a chance to take power again."

Listening to what Mo Zizai said, the county soldiers didn't have any emotional fluctuations in their hearts, because in their eyes, the world is as black as crows, as long as they are officials, it makes no difference, and it is useless to be cautious.

Seeing the mediocre reaction of the soldiers in the county, Mo Zizai didn't care, but continued: "Of course, this king also knows that it's just so difficult to prevent such things from happening, so this king will join the soldiers in Nanjun. Set up the post of supervisor."

"The supervisor will not intervene in military affairs, but he will be responsible for your welfare income, such as salary, grain, bedding, military uniforms and other things, all under his supervision. If anyone, even half a bucket of corn will not Once it’s in place, everyone can respond to it.”

"In addition, this king will also set up a Beijing control office in the county. Everyone should know that it is a long way to go to Beijing to sue Yuzhuang Mountain, and it is easy to be intercepted and killed by gangsters. Therefore, this king will set up a Beijing control office. If you have any complaints You can directly file a complaint with the Beijing Control Office.”

"The Beijing Control Office is directly responsible to the king. For minor matters, the Beijing Control Office responds to local officials and supervises the local responsible officials to resolve them."

"If it's a big issue or if some important person is involved, then this king will personally send someone to resolve the matter, and by the way, also solve the important person involved."

"I don't think you will doubt my king's murderous intentions, will you?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's last words, some people wanted to laugh inexplicably, but when they saw the head rolling on the ground, those people couldn't laugh anymore, they could only twitch their mouths, as a compliment to Mo Zizai .

"My lord, do you mean that the Beijing Control Office takes care of everything?"

A county soldier had the courage to ask Mo Zizai, "If that's the case, what's the use of the government office?"

"it's not true."

Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "The Beijing Control Office doesn't care about everything, but nothing. They only care about one thing, and that's what the government doesn't care about."

"Or in other words, they are the supervisors of the government office. As long as the government office does not act, you can sue the Beijing Control Office, and the Beijing Control Office will come forward to negotiate with the government office."

"And in order to prevent the Beijing Control Office from colluding with the government, the personnel of the Beijing Control Office are rotated every three years."

"In addition, the Beijing Control Office accepts anonymous reports. This king will set up a report box in front of the gate of the Beijing Control Office. If some people encounter injustice and are afraid of retaliation, they can anonymously put the report letter into the report box. These anonymous letters , I guarantee that the Beijing Control Institute will check and implement them one by one."

"Then, my lord, what if the Beijing Control Office doesn't do anything?"

It was the same county soldier from before, he saw that Mo Zizai was speaking very kindly, and he felt that he was not as scary as when he killed the man just now, so he couldn't help but asked again.

"Then you can only follow the old path and go to Beijing to sue the imperial court."

Mo Zizai shrugged, spread his hands and said helplessly: "This king is just providing you with one more channel to appeal your grievances, but people's hearts are changeable, and this king can't guarantee that they will be upright, so if they don't If you do, then you should go to Beijing to sue the imperial court."

"But as long as I receive your complaint, whether it is the king or His Majesty, I will spare time to help you solve it personally. Not only will your grievances be resolved, but the Beijing Control Office that has not acted will also be resolved along the way."

"I think, you should still trust the reputation of this king and His Majesty, right?"
