Chapter 125 Gaining Popular Support Again(1/2)
Nanfeng Mansion.
Since Guo Tianyi led his troops to recapture Nanfeng Mansion, he has carried out a series of measures to appease the people.
In addition, it is a trick that has been used countless times.
First, sort out the surrendered troops and eliminate the soldiers and oilmen.
For those who do not want to continue serving as soldiers, they are given a certain amount of money and allowed to rebel.
Naturally, it was also necessary to clean up some officials and landlords who originally supported the rebellion.
There is no news from the capital for the time being.
To be on the safe side, Guo Tianyi ordered Jin Yiwei to also send a letter to Guo Susu.
The general idea is to ask Guo Susu to persuade his mother-in-law.
Guo Tianyi also knows the reason why a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
I have tried to persuade him with good words, but as my mother-in-law seems to have been grudged against Emperor Feng Jing for a long time, I might not be able to listen.
If Guo Susu came forward, it might be more effective than himself.
today.
Guo Tianyi called Cao Dechun and Xiao Anzi and prepared to stroll around the city.
"Hitting people, beating people, officials are beating people..."
Suddenly, a voice came, which caught Guo Tianyi's attention.
"Cao Dechun."
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
"What's up front?"
Guo Tianyi looked at a large number of people gathered at the yamen entrance in front, and the sound just came from here.
"Your Highness, didn't you order some supplies to be distributed to needy households in the city?" Cao Dechun looked at them and responded respectfully.
Among the policies to support the people, there is one item that distributes food and money to the lonely elderly people and needy households in the city.
Childless.
Those whose families are all long-term workers and do not farm, etc., are all included in the subsidy project.
These feudal kings had hoarded a lot of food and grass.
As for gold and silver, part of it will be remitted to local finance, while the other part will naturally be used for people's livelihood.
This is what Guo Tianyi must do every time he recovers a city.
"I actually forgot about it."
"Let's go over there and see what happened."
"promise!"
Cao Dechun, Xiao Anzi and several personal guards surrounded Guo Tianyi and squeezed into the crowd.
Because I was traveling in casual clothes.
Guo Tianyi and others did not attract the attention of the people around them.
And everyone's attention is focused on the open space ahead.
"If you beat someone, is there any law?"
"I'm the only one in our family. Why don't you give it to me when I get the money?"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will lie at the yamen gate and not leave..."
A short young man was lying on the ground.
There were obvious slap marks on his left face, and he looked to be around 20 years old.
He was wearing coarse clothes and had a sallow complexion, just like ordinary people.
It was obviously a short young man who was beaten, but some of the people around him showed extremely relieved expressions.
A clerk pointed at the man lying on the ground and said, "Li Ergou, don't think you can take advantage of His Highness the King of Han's benevolent government. I know very well who you are!"
Hearing the sound, Li Ergou's eyes rolled "tickly" as he lay on the ground, and he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, "Oh my God, is there still king's law, is there still heaven's law? His Highness the King of Han wants to give us subsidies, but you actually withhold it privately..."
"What's going on? Why was he beaten just now?"
"I don't know, I was in line just now."
"I know, it seems that he went to register to receive subsidies, and was scolded by the official. Then the boy quarreled with the official, and the official ordered the guards to beat him..."
"Isn't this too strange? Isn't it right to hit someone?"
"Is it because the people below His Highness the King of Han are not implementing the policy?"
"It's a pity that we ordinary people can't see His Highness the King of Han. These officials can do whatever they say..."
"...."
Several people around Guo Tianyi were whispering, and Guo Tianyi heard these words word for word, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Guo Tianyi was about to step forward to ask why, when he saw a figure hurriedly coming from the Yamen.
It is Cai Xuan.
Cai Xuan is basically solely responsible for all internal affairs work.
This is the right given to him by Guo Tianyi.
Over at the barracks, several generals including Fan Xiong, Ning Yuanwu, and Dong Zhiqiang co-chaired the mission.
Seeing Cai Xuan coming, Guo Tianyi grinned slightly and prepared to continue watching the show.
Cai Xuan is very good at solving cases.
At least he is more professional than me in this aspect.
"What happened?"
Cai Xuan came to the Yamen, looked at Li Ergou rolling on the ground, looked at the clerk and asked displeasedly.
This junior official was also promoted by Cai Xuan after reviewing the information of various departments in Nanfeng Mansion. He was considered a member of a poor family, with a decent character and some knowledge.
However, when officials beat people, and they do so in public, isn't this senseless?
If he committed a crime, he would just do it according to the law.
His Highness the King of Han is so kind to me that he can't handle such a small matter well. If His Highness the King of Han ascends the throne in the future, how will he assist His Highness the King of Han in governing a country?
For the sake of his own future, Cai Xuan is unwilling to make mistakes at every step.
"grown ups..."
Just as the clerk was about to speak, Li Ergou, who was on the ground, immediately knelt down in tears, hugged Cai Xuan's thigh, and said loudly, "Sir, His Highness the King of Han subsidizes poor families with money and food. I am the only one in my family.
I just asked for my subsidy, but he wouldn't give it to me. I said a few words to him, but he even beat me..."
"Please, sir, make the decision for me..."
Li Ergou knew that Cai Xuan in front of him was from the King of Han.
A Beijing accent.
Definitely not a local official.
"You get up first."
"If he really bends the law for personal gain, I will definitely give you an explanation and punish him severely."
"If you conceal your family situation, or you do not meet the subsidy requirements."
"I will not hold you responsible for disrupting the Yamen."
Cai Xuan is a very clear-minded person, and he can tell at a glance that there must be something wrong with Li Ergou in front of him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for that humble official to stop him alone.
"good..."
When Li Ergou heard Cai Xuan's words, he was obviously a little panicked, but he was still not afraid.
I didn't exploit any loopholes myself.
I meet all the requirements for poor households mentioned by His Highness the King of Han.
"Lord Cai," the lowly official said, "I, Zhang Xing, will risk my life. This guy is a lazy bastard! He doesn't deserve to enjoy the subsidies from His Highness the King of Han."
"You fart!" Li Ergou became anxious when he heard this, pointed at Zhang Xing and said, "You have a good family, you can study, and now you are an official, you can make things difficult for me, right?"
"Sir, this person is an unkind, unjust and unfilial person." Zhang Xing looked angry and shouted loudly, "This person's family background was originally good, but he is lazy and loves to gamble..."
Following Zhang Xing's words, Guo Tianyi, who was standing in the crowd, was also furious.
It turns out that Li Ergou got married the year before last.
