Chapter 197 People are not as good as birds
After entering Anyi City, Liu Xie went straight to Juncang.
The warehouse was empty and cleaner than the pale face of the prefect Wang Yi.
"Where should Hedong pay the imperial court's grain tax in the past few years?" Liu Xie turned around, looked at Wang Yi who had shrunk into a ball, and then looked at the subordinates next to him. "Who is the warehouse?"
Wang Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
A neatly dressed middle-aged man stood up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
The others also lowered their heads and lowered their eyelids, one by one like wood carved clay dolls.
"Is this the case in this warehouse before you left the county?"
Wang Yi hesitated for a moment and slowly raised his head. "Your Majesty, all kinds of sins are in my own hands. I am not good at governing the government and being deceived by others. I am not worthy of being a county magistrate. Please dismiss your majesty as your post and punish me for being a crime."
Liu Xie refused to give in. "Are you asking for the crime of negligence of duty or the crime of collusion with treason?"
Wang Yi hesitated for a moment. "I neglected my duties."
Liu Xie nodded and turned to look at the warehouse kneeling on the ground. "Who transported the stored grain in this county warehouse and in what way? Is it a fraud, a steal, or a robbery?"
Cangcao still didn't speak, just kowtowed.
Liu Xie twisted his neck, and evil spirit flashed in his eyes.
"Tingwei."
Tingwei Xuan broadcast the line and bowed his hand and said, "I am here."
"Find this matter clearly. Don't wrongly accuse an innocent person, and don't let a guilty person go."
"Yi!" Xuan Bo turned around, called two court officials over, and dragged out the warehouse who was kneeling on the ground.
The bastard dared to collude with Wei Gu, Fan Xian rebelled, making me lose food and not peel off your skin. Does the man still have the law?
Wang Yi was already unable to stand firmly, collapsed on the ground, trembling.
"Situ."
Zhao Wen left the list. "I am here."
"I was wronged that Situ temporarily led the prefect, and took charge of the affairs of Hedong, and then chose a qualified prefect."
"only."
Zhao Wen was full of energy and immediately summoned the officials of the prefect's office in the city to give a lecture. Even the county magistrate of Anyi County came.
In front of everyone, he announced the emperor's commendation of Zhao Qing and his son, and demanded that the edict be passed to various counties to encourage the people to pay food and join the army. If the family is given, the court will not only give it to officials, but also ensure that they are the most basic.
Wealth and clothing are enough to show the joys and sorrows.
After hearing the news, the officials of the prefect's palace changed their faces and looked at each other.
Who came up with the idea? It's so cruel.
Anyone who is not stupid can hear the profound meaning behind this edict and can also premonition the attraction to ordinary people.
For those people, if the court can ensure their basic food and clothing, it is more cost-effective to give away their families than to offer a few stones of food, let alone be awarded an official, even if the official has no salary to receive.
But for the wealthy family, this edict has no meaning at all.
They have money and food, and they have no worries about food and clothing. Why should they follow the emperor to eat melons and swallow vegetables? They just offer dozens of stones, hundreds of stones, and change to an official. How stupid would it be to offer their families?
Someone may do this, but the number is absolutely limited.
But in this way, the official positions that can be exchanged for hundreds of stone grains are very limited, and most of them are false names and have no real profit.
If you don’t offer it, will you follow the Wei family and Fan family follow the footsteps?
For a moment, I don’t know how many people hated Zhao Qing and his son so much that they gritted their teeth.
But the edict was sent out.
Zhao Wen ordered as Situ that according to the court's documentary system, each county must spread the edicts to every township within the prescribed time. Those who deliberately delayed the edicts will be punished by the court.
Especially in Anyi County, the notification must be completed within two days.
If I stayed in Hedong today, the Tingwei also came with me, which was very convenient.
Wang Yi went to the Tingwei and was imprisoned for more than ten days. The fact that he almost lost his life had spread, and no one wanted to make it boring at this time.
Especially the Order of Anyi, Zhao Wengang announced the end of the meeting. He ran out like a rabbit and hurried back to the county court to deploy related matters.
Anyi is both a county and a county seat, just under the eyes of the court. Zhao Wen may not be able to deal with others, but he will definitely be able to deal with him.
If you do well, this is an opportunity to go further. Maybe you can defeat the prefect left by Wang Yi.
If he doesn't do well, he may be used to kill one to warn one.
In the darkness, Liu Xie climbed the city tower.
Zhongtiao Mountain runs across the east of Anyi City, and Mingtiao Hill runs across the west of Anyi City.
"A place that military strategists must fight for." Liu Xie sighed.
Xun You said lightly: "Hedong was originally the former land of Wei. I remember that Wu Qi once told Wei Wuhou that the treasure of Wei State was not the solidity of mountains and rivers, but the virtue. Xia was not virtuous, and even though he lived in Anyi, it was inevitable that it was destroyed by the merchants."
"I am not virtuous, why should I speak out for myself?" Liu Xie laughed silently. "Although I am in a down-and-out position, I still have this little bit of ambition."
Xun You sighed. "Your Majesty, how dare I? It's just that I can't sleep well tonight in the city of Anyi."
"If you don't do anything bad, you will naturally be able to sleep peacefully." Liu Xie retorted without hesitation.
He admired Xun You's ability very much, but if Xun You chose a family and was unwilling to assist him, he could only bear the pain of giving up.
Xun You remained silent, his face was vague in the night, and he could not see clearly the joys and anger.
Liu Xie thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that the Xun family in Yingchuan came from Xunqing in Lanling?"
Xun You responded slowly. "It is said that this is true for the old man at home."
"Do you have a connection with the Xun family in Jin State?"
Xun You was silent for a moment and sighed faintly. "The greed of a gentleman has been killed for three lifetimes. Even Xun Qing is still a long time ago, no one can tell it clearly, let alone the past."
Liu Xie was a little surprised.
It can be heard that Xun You is not willing to talk about this topic, and it is not because of modesty.
Instead, it means some resistance.
Fortunately, Liu Xie said that this was just a topic to ease the atmosphere, and he did not mean to inquire about his privacy. If he didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't talk about it.
"In this way, the ancestors of Xun's family were also unknown during the Xia and Shang dynasties?"
Xun You turned his head to look at Liu Xie, his eyes flashing.
"His Majesty……"
"What is the virtue of Shang? What is the virtue of Xia? " Liu Xie said slowly, his voice was a little erratic by the night wind. "The Master said, repay kindness with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness.
Is it a great clan or a commoner? If you have virtue to me, I will repay you with virtue. If you have evil to me, I will repay you with grudges. What is wrong with you?"
Xun You smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty said very much, but the world is easy to be in chaos and uneasy. Once the killing is turned on, it will be difficult to hold it back. Your Majesty first arrived, please calm the hearts of the people and slowly plan it, not to be too hasty. Wei
, Fan has not been given up. If someone is afraid of doubts or even angry, he will be in a relationship with Wei, Fan is in the inner and outer world, what can he do?"
Liu Xie said with a slight head. "Gongda reminds you right, so I and Gongda climbed up the high ground not for the sake of viewing, but for the sake of seeing who want to go to the dark side, for the sake of a few stones of grain,
He was killed without hesitation."
He sighed. "Man dies for money, birds die for food. Sometimes, when people become stupid, they may not be like birds. Birds die for food, but they only live for a living by wrapping their belly. People die for money, but they are insatiable."
