New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Liu Yuanqiao's method is to mobilize the masses for supervision, because he also knows that the eyes of the masses are bright and can't hold half a grain of sand.

Moreover, he also launched one point, that is, internal supervision. It can be said that the eyes of insiders are brighter and can not hold a grain of dust.

At present, government corruption is a whole batch, a whole nest, or from top to bottom. Is internal supervision useful? Normally, it's useless. Your boss embezzles in front of you. You don't dare to control it, because he has absolute control over you, and you can't interfere with it at all.

However, Liu Yuanqiao has implemented a new regulation in Laizhou, that is, all those who are exposed to embezzle disaster relief materials will be dismissed on the spot and replaced by the informant or deputy.

This makes these powerful leaders feel insecure and afraid to be stabbed in the back by people around them or their own people.

Of course, there are no corrupt officials in the world who dare not be greedy. The so-called black eyes can't see the white silver. It's impossible not to grasp a lot of money and food when they float past. When Emperor Taizu embezzled sixty Liang, he stripped the skin and grass. As a result, some people took risks, not to mention Liu Yuanqiao's so-called dismissal on the spot.

Who says you dare not take the hot silver? Even the silver that burned your hands was taken.

The first thing planted in Liu Yuanqiao's hands is Dai Antong, the informer of Yexian County. As the center of Laizhou Prefecture, Yexian County is the center of their disaster relief, which means that they have the most money, food and property. When a large number of materials are handed over, Dai Antong, the magistrate of Yixian County, can't help but start with him.

In dai'an Tongzhi County, he has a strong backstage. His backstage is Lord Lao Yongjia, the political envoy of Shandong left. Lord Lao is his hometown. He has such a strong backstage, but he doesn't dare to take it. Moreover, in dai'an Tongzhi County, he makes it clear that what I'm doing now is not too much, but half of it is intercepted according to the rules.

When Diane and he took the initiative to stop half, he also said plausibly: "when these money and food pass through my hands, I want to ensure the accuracy of his number and more disaster victims get disaster relief. Only when these food are in my hands can I be sure that they can flow into the hands of the disaster victims."

Of course, his so-called guarantee must be taken as a mobile thing in his hand, moved into his own granary without hesitation, and then sold at a high price.

These things were found by Liu Yuanqiao's people and reported by his deputy, Wu Anguo, the county magistrate.

After Diane and he were reported, Liu Yuanqiao ordered him to be taken to the government office.

As soon as he patted the shock, he said, "Diane Tong, how dare you dare to embezzle the food for disaster relief? What crime should you commit?"

Dai Antong said this with good reason.

"When these grains pass through my hands, I want to ensure the accuracy of his number and more victims get relief. Only when these grains are in my hands can I be sure that they can fall into the hands of the victims."

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "in that case, why did you put the grain into your own granary?"

Diane was still struggling with sophistry. He said, "who said I put the grain in my own warehouse? What evidence do you have?"

Liu Yuanqiao said, "Dai, you must understand that these food for disaster relief are engraved with special numbers. There is a note in each package of food to explain its origin and weight." it is equivalent to the label of later generations.

Diane didn't dare to deny it with him. He said, "maybe the housekeeper made a mistake. He made a mistake between our own goods and those for disaster relief. Just bring them back to you“

He has his own backer, Lord Lao Yongjia, the left political envoy of Shandong. He is very confident.

Liu Yuanqiao said, "it is said that the housekeeper wears a blessing to go to the hall."

Dai Antong saw that Liu Yuanqiao was unwilling to let go and had the intention to pull him down together. As soon as his face changed, he said, "Lord Liu, everyone is colleagues. Why don't you refuse to let go and kill them all? You know that chief envoy Lao is a fellow countryman of the lower officials."

Facing the threat from the other party, Liu Yuanqiao directly didn't bother to pay attention to him. He asked, "Dai Fu, who asked you to transport the relief grain to your own granary and sell it at a high price."

Dai Fu is also a cunning man. He knows that to keep his master is to protect himself. The man said, "it's just a mistake for the villain to move back the grain from the official granary as his own family. When the villain knows his mistake, the villain admits punishment." he's avoiding heavy and light.

He knows one thing very well. He knows that the other party wants to fuck his master. As long as he keeps his master, he can keep him, so he also takes all the blame.

Liu Yuanqiao directly threw down a token and said, "thirty major boards."

At the command of the magistrate, he hit 30 boards hard, and the fierce yamen servants rushed up, took off their pants and beat them on the spot.

You know, these yamen servants have all practiced. Their big sticks can hit 30 boards without hurting their skin. They can also hit you with a few sticks and kill you. Liu Yuanqiao winked at the Yamen this time and signaled to fight to death.

Dai Fu was beaten half to death with only a few sticks. Dai Fu knew that the other party was going to kill him. He knew that his county master could not protect him. He had to confess: "the master ordered the villain to do so, and there was a written instruction as evidence."

Liu Yuanqiao immediately sent someone to Dai Fu's house and found the oracle that Dai an Tong told him to take the grain home at that time.

Seeing these Diane tongs, he turned pale. He said, "Lord Liu, for the sake of his fellow countrymen, let go."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "what you embezzle is disaster relief materials. What you embezzle is the life-saving food of millions of people. I can spare you. The people waiting for food can't spare you."

Liu Yuanqiao immediately took Diane out with him and asked him to parade in the street, claiming that the matter should be decided by the people.

Now the weather is cold and extremely bad. Although the government has carried out disaster relief, the people just reluctantly protect their lives, not to mention how good they eat and reluctantly wrap their stomachs.

Many people were filled with anger. When they heard that corrupt officials had greedy for half of their life-saving food, everyone was angry. They threw stones at Diantong one after another.

At the beginning, only one or two people smashed dai'an. When they saw that the Yamen did not stop it, but acquiesced, they smashed it with stones. As a result, dai'an swam half the way through the street and was stoned to death by the victims.

Moreover, some angry victims broke through the government's obstruction and tore several pieces of meat from him.

At this time, the anger of the people has been suppressed to the extreme. They hate corrupt officials very much. They think that the miserable situation and difficulties they are facing are actually done by these corrupt officials. If these corrupt officials were not here, they would not be so miserable.

Therefore, when Liu Yuanqiao ordered the Yamen to parade Dai Antong, the anger of all the people was ignited, and they killed Dai Antong on the spot.

When the Yamen servants ran back to the Yamen lobby to report to Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Yuanqiao said, "water can carry, and the boat can capsize."

His meaning is also very clear. This is that the law does not blame the public. In fact, people with a clear eye know that Liu Yuanqiao wants to use the hands of the people to ignite the anger of the people and let them kill Dai Antong in the street. This is also an example to others.

After Liu Yuanqiao killed Dai Antong, he immediately appointed Wu Anguo, the county magistrate who reported him, as the new county magistrate.

This is equivalent to fulfilling his promise, which greatly deterred the corruption of Laizhou officialdom.

These officials have also seen Liu Yuanqiao's means. He is a ruthless and resolute person.

In fact, these officials saw that Liu Yuanqiao killed Dai Antong on the spot, because everyone knows one thing. This time, the name of disaster relief is government disaster relief, but in fact, all the money and food are basically from the Liu family. You, Dai Antong, are bold enough to dare to covet his Liu family's money. Isn't that looking for death? By Liu Yuanqiao's means, how can you be greedy for his cheap and his money?

The dai'antong incident greatly deterred local officials, but also made people in officialdom feel insecure and officials can't make a living. They are afraid that when they fight, they will be reported and exposed by their subordinates and lose their lives.

Many people thought that the Diantong incident ended with Diantong's death. Later, there was news that the angry victims robbed all the shops in Wu'an state, even rushed into the county government, killed his family and robbed all his family wealth.

Later, according to the newly appointed county magistrate Wu Anguo, it was the former county magistrate dai'an who embezzled and accepted bribes with him that aroused public anger and provoked civil unrest

Everyone knows that this is Liu Yuanqiao's way of killing all the people and uprooting the roots. Seeing that the Liu family did so ruthlessly, the people in the officialdom were completely frightened. Many people who embezzled a lot of money and food like Diane returned in time. Their excuses were put in the wrong warehouse. Now they came back in time for disaster relief.

Even when many officials saw Liu Yuanqiao, he gave so much money for disaster relief and relief, so they also took the initiative to donate some money and food, hoping to get the favor of this new iron blood magistrate.

Now that you have entered the officialdom, you can find out the atmosphere of officialdom, that is, the governor is keen on disaster relief, and whoever provides disaster relief will get his favor; Governor Liu of Laizhou is also keen on disaster relief. Even there are rumors among the people that the Liu family has spent all their money to buy money and food to relieve the victims. Many people call it the living Buddha of thousands of families. Therefore, in order to please the Shangguan, many officials take the initiative to donate some money and food to join the ranks of disaster relief.
