Saint of the Confucian way

However, Fang Yun did not just take a MINGGU county magistrate Liwei. On the day after MINGGU county magistrate was arrested, officials from all over the country were arrested in Baling city.

People in the governor's office said that these people, like MINGGU county magistrate, did not stop after Fang Yun announced the rectification of officialdom.

At the beginning, many officials thought that Fang Yun was cleaning up Qing officials or Zuo Xiang forces, because people with a little official experience knew that the so-called rectification of official governance and punishment of corruption were essentially political struggle, which was essentially the son of heaven and a courtier.

How can a new official be satisfied without knocking down a group of people.

After a few days, they found that Fang Yun was completely different from the previous officials. The arrested people had no rules. They not only had the background of Qingguo or Zuo Xiang, but also had a firm royalist party. There was a Qipin county magistrate who even took the path of his relatives and grew up in open crotch pants with the Empress Dowager's brother-in-law.

If we must say that these people have something in common, that is, after Fang Yun warned the people, they didn't just stop, they didn't know how to restrain.

In less than ten days, two Hanlin, 11 Jinshi, 94 Juren and more than 300 scholars were successively arrested and sacked.

Those convicted of serious crimes should be escorted to the capital for sentencing, and may eventually be exiled everywhere.

Those guilty of minor crimes will be fined ten times the proceeds of corruption, take off their official robes, drive out of the yamen, and then send the criminal records of these officials to the holy court. All countries and holy places will never hire them.

It is not allowed to kill scholars indiscriminately, but it is also not allowed to let them commit crimes without paying any price.

Fang Yun's iron fist shocked the whole human race. Many people realized that this time, Fang Yun was serious. He really wanted to build an officialdom that was at least relatively clean and practical.

Gradually, all the people in Xiangzhou felt that all the officials had changed greatly. No one would ignore them when they went to the Yamen. Before, some officials took the initiative to ask for benefits, but now they dare not ask for them for fear of being caught.

When something happened to the Yamen before, the Yamen often delayed for a long time, but now they arrive soon and do things meticulously according to the regulations of the government.

Many officials began to complain, but some officials thought it was good. At least they didn't have to eat and drink with them every day. They obviously had a strong body, but they were destroyed by eating and drinking.

For the first time, the people of Xiangzhou deeply felt the benefits of Fang Yun's arrival, and the other party admired Fang Yun more and more.

Some people gathered in front of the governor's house to thank Fang Yun. Instead of receiving them, Fang Yun asked the officials of the governor's house to go out and take a message for him to the people.

"The world is originally Zhilan's room, full of fragrance, but evil is in power. Turn Zhilan's room into a Abalone Restaurant. If you live in Abalone Restaurant for a long time and smell the fragrance of Zhilan, you can cheer and be grateful, but you must remember that we are like Zhilan!"

Fang Yun's words have deep meaning. Different people have different interpretations, but in any case, they all have positive significance.

Xiangzhou people love Fang Yun more and more. If someone says Fang Yun is bad, it will be refuted by many people.

Soon, the officials of Xiangzhou created a word, officials do not make a living.

Before long, some officials handed in their resignation forms and left the Yamen.

Everything in Xiangzhou seems to be under the control of Fang Yun.

Every winter, the lower level officials would honor some silver money on the grounds that the above Department wanted to buy wood for heating, but they didn't mention money and called it "charcoal respect". In hot summer, there was "ice respect".

But this year, none of the officials in Xiangzhou dared to send charcoal to the officials in the capital, and the small officials in Xiangzhou dared not send charcoal to their superiors, because someone was caught by Fang Yun.

Without the charcoal respect in previous years, officials in Xiangzhou suddenly felt a little inconvenient, especially some officials who were short of money.

On October 28, the Juyuan government issued a decree. In response to the governor's call, from today on, the public kitchens in the whole government will reduce meat dishes, and all meals will be limited. Everyone should save food and work for the welfare of the human race.

As soon as this decree was issued, Juyuan government complained, and some officials were more and more dissatisfied with Fang Yun.

It often takes a long time to hold a court meeting. After retiring from the court, the monarch will arrange officials to eat. Therefore, the meal arranged by the imperial palace for all civil and military officials is called "returning food". Because the place of eating is in the corridor in front of the palace, it is also called corridor food.

Ordinary yamen will arrange a free lunch for all officials every day. They don't dare to call it a public kitchen.

As soon as the decree of Juyuan house was issued, most places were watching, but several counties followed suit and also claimed to reduce the meals of public kitchens in response to the governor's call.

Therefore, many officials in these places worked in the afternoon hungry. As soon as the time arrived, they almost ran home for dinner.

The matter was written into a document and appeared on Fang Yun's desk. Fang Yun looked at it, pondered for a moment, and then put it aside. He didn't seem to care.

Just after November, every family is preparing for the winter solstice.

On the fifth day of November, the Tangshan government issued a document saying that all the envoys' money this year would be confiscated in order to return the fragrance of Xiangzhou Zhilan.

As soon as this news came out, the whole Tangshan government officials were in an uproar. Some officials even came to the magistrate of Tangshan government, but they were scolded by the magistrate and forced to leave.

The so-called envoy money was originally public money for senior officials, such as travel and entertainment. Later, many funds were also considered envoy money.

The government operates some workshops. If the workshops have good benefits, the government will send some envoy money to officials every new year and festival. In the period with the best benefits, the envoy money a year is even dozens of times the salary of the imperial court.

Although the efficiency of the government workshops in Tangshan mansion is mediocre, the envoys' money from the winter solstice to the four festivals of Laba, Xiaonian and Spring Festival is at least equal to the salary in the first half of the year, which is not a small sum of money for many officials.

The more officials at the bottom, the more honest officials without extra money, the more they need the money. It's not too much to say that the money is life-saving money.

Now the Tangshan mansion has directly deducted it, which has completely disrupted the lives of these people.

The next day, Tangshan government issued another notice, and all winter gifts this year were cancelled.

Many officials shouted abuse.

The so-called winter gifts were originally new year goods given to officials from the monarch, such as silk, satin and cotton clothes, rice flour, grain and oil, chicken, duck and fish, etc., and local governments will also give small officials some similar new year goods. In ordinary winter, although there are few winter gifts from Tangshan mansion, it is also enough for the three members of the official family to change into new clothes and eat continuously for two months to have a good new year.

Soon, Juyuan house also issued an announcement and cancelled all Minister Qian Hedong gifts.

Officials in the two places began to abuse wildly. Some Fearless Old officials went to the Yamen to abuse in public, but did not name their names, and no one could punish them.

This matter was soon spread to the discussion list. Many people thought it was absurd. Even charcoal Jing and other things could not be said clearly. But Minister Qian and dongci are legal and reasonable official subsidies from various countries. This kind of money is too much.

On the seventh day of November, another fantastic notice was posted on the notice board of Juyuan house. The official Wang Nian was reported for buying 32 liang of meat and not giving money to the butcher. He ate and took people's goods and was dismissed from public office as an example.
