"As officials guarding the pastoral area, they only know how to use disasters to fill their pockets. What are the people in the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office in Hanzhong County doing? Are they deaf or blind? More than two months have passed, and have they not even heard the wind? Could it be that the people in the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office will only stay in the house to cultivate immortality?..."

One question after another, accompanied by my anger, hit the hall hard and hit the hearts of these important civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Hanzhong in person, and I hope your Majesty will be approved." Wei Zheng, the president of the Supreme Court of the Chinese Empire, shouted loudly with a shameful look on his face.

"After you leave, I hope you can be fair and just, so that the people of Hanzhong County can open their eyes and see clearly. In addition, if I pass on my decree, no official shall use any excuse or reason to collect wealth other than taxes from the people of the world. Violators will seize the official position and will also pay the defiled wealth..."

"No" more than a hundred civil and military officials bowed again and agreed loudly.

After the court meeting dispersed, I immediately went to the major newspapers and magazines in Chang'an and summoned the editor-in-chief of the three major Chinese mainstream publications, Chang'an Daily and Guanzhong Weekly, and Huaxia Weekly.

They ordered them to draw the most skilled reporter to follow Wei Zheng to the south. Not only did they want to publicly judge those who were malfeasant, but they also had to announce to the people of the world through newspapers and magazines that the court's decisions and the emperor's will. If the ICAC does not do anything, then they would go home to take the children.

Of course, if the guilty one is guilty, not only will he be judged according to the law, but he must also be punished with a higher level, because they are typical violations of the law by knowing the law.

The editors of major newspapers who were obeyed by this young master Erti knew my temper very well. They were all students who taught me personally in Hancheng, and they were even boys who were adopted by me at home during my time in Daye. Now, although I am not old, one and two are training very skillfully in this industry.

So, they would not understand what I mean. In the afternoon of that year, the carriages of three newspapers followed Wei Zheng, the president and chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Chinese Empire, towards Hanzhong County.

Five days later, the Supreme Court of the Huaxia Empire, which received all witness testimony, held a public trial in the Hanzhong County Governor. The number of people present on that day exceeded 30,000. Fortunately, the local court staff had prepared and changed the trial location outside the city. This was the case, and the number of people who came to the trial still scared everyone.

Yu Wenjin, the prefect of Hanzhong County, was convicted of abuse of power and corruption. The amount of corruption was huge, and it was the largest corruption criminal since the founding of the Huaxia Empire. He was punished with two crimes. He was deprived of his official position as the prefect of Hanzhong County, and was imprisoned for fifteen years of labor reform. Of course, all the embezzled money was returned to the merchants. Where there was not enough, Yu Wenjin's residence in Chang'an was auctioned, and finally he collected enough amounts and returned to the merchants.

In addition, all personnel related to the Intrinsic Security Office of the Hanzhong County Independent Commission Against Corruption were punished as dereliction of duty. According to the severity of the two crimes obtained by the prefect of Hanzhong County Yuwen Jin in this case, the relevant personnel were deprived of their posts and were imprisoned for five years of labor reform.

All other personnel from the Hanzhong County Independent Commission Against Corruption Office were removed from office.

Such a trial result made more than 30,000 ordinary people who came to the trial excited and applauded. The interview results obtained by newspapers on-site interviews were similar. Whether it was the merchants who had brought back their wealth, or the people who were listening there, they were very excited and excited about this result, thinking that the court was on the side of the people, and who would not support such a court?

Major newspapers, magazines and publications reported almost the entire process of this whole process about the first corruption case since the founding of the Chinese Empire. The sensation caused was absolutely no less than that of the old man who personally went to Jian County to clean up the large number of rebels.

More importantly, this is not a rebellion, but just a crime. However, the crime involved, or those who are guilty, are all officials in the court. This practice has never been done before, neither the previous dynasty nor the previous dynasty.

The emperor killed the ministers more because the ministers were bothering and annoying. Or in other words, I have heard many stories about civil and military ministers being dropped in the past, but mostly because the emperor was incompetent and incompetent.

And this time, it was not that the emperor was incompetent and stupid, nor that the ministers were loyal and honest. It was because the ministers were corrupt and the officials were inaction. Then, the wise and powerful emperor discovered that they were angry and sent angels to deal with the officials who made the people complain.

After that, in less than three days, four Independent Commission Against Corruption Offices sent messages to the headquarters of the Huaxia Empire Independent Commission Against Corruption Office in Chang'an, and found that local officials had committed corruption or dereliction of duty. The first anti-pornography and illegal activities in the Huaxia Empire? Well, it should be that the anti-corruption campaign began to unfold vigorously.

The officials of the Independent Commission Against Corruption were finally awakened, understood their role, and even more so how they would be punished when they were inaction. And how cruel I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, was

The people applauded, and those officials with dissatisfaction were frightened. As for the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the judicial department, which is dedicated to supervising and controlling a series of criminal acts such as corruption and dereliction of duty, finally began to play a role.

Before, it could only serve as a warning effect. Now, the Independent Commission Against Corruption can play a certain role. I believe that the future will be better, and the lives of corrupt officials will become worse and worse. They will soon become desperate and want to get a wrong path. It depends on whether the people in the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be as blind as before.

In addition, with this incident, I issued an order at the Grand Court meeting that as long as the matter is true, the ICAC will immediately report to the superior supervisor and enter the review and investigation procedures.

If the local ICAC acts as if it is deaf or colluding with corrupt officials, once verified, they will not only be left behind, but will even be punished more severely than corrupt officials, because the people in the ICAC are judicial personnel. If they know that the law is broken, they will naturally be punished with more crimes.

When solving cases, they can earn meritorious service and there will be bonuses. Therefore, after comparing the two, the staff of the Independent Commission Against Corruption understand that they should either work hard and work hard or quit their jobs. The danger of this job is quite high.

Kang Shuolli finally appeared in front of me again. This time, he was both excited, but cautious. It seemed that Jie Li Khan might have the same expression. He didn't expect that there would be a copper mine under his butt. What's important is that this young master, who occupied three-fifths of the land of the previous dynasty, was willing to exchange iron ingots for copper mine.

Although Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shi and even Dou Jiande were all the main Khan of the Eastern Turks, these guys fought every day, and the consumption of steel was also extremely large. It was impossible to get enough steel from their hands.

Besides, the years of war have displaced the people. Where did you go to find so many people to mine? Besides, even these Central Plains tyrants have to buy swords from me, which at least shows an attitude that their own iron and steel production is not enough to ensure the demand for war. Where can I give you extra money?

But now, a light appeared before Jie Li Khan. The Chinese Empire was willing to do a copper-for-iron business with them. For the Turks, although copper was of wide use, copper could not be used to build weapons. At least after leaving the Bronze Age and being used to sharper iron weapons, no one would think about returning to his ancestors.

"...The great Khan hopes that Your Majesty, you can increase the exchange ratio between iron and copper. After all, the value of copper is far higher than that of iron." Kang Shuoli, as usual, first flattered me, and told Jie Li Khan's ideas and requirements. "In addition, you need to ask Your Majesty, you can send some craftsmen to help. After all, few people in Turkic know how to explore minerals."

"I can send someone to help you find the mine, but you have to be responsible for the cost." I thought about it and replied. "As for increasing the ratio of iron to copper, haha, what do you think? Think about it, a good steel knife weighs only three to five kilograms, but its value is at least fifteen to thirty kilograms. What does it cost to be converted into? It is equivalent to fifteen to thirty kilograms of copper."

"But now, you told me to increase the ratio of iron to copper?" I chuckled. "Is it possible?"

"Your Majesty, that's it, but the value of iron is really not as good as copper. You should think it's okay?" Kang Shuoli was not in a hurry. He looked like a traitor no matter how he looked.

"Of course there is no problem, but Lao Kang. What is the use of copper for you Eastern Turks?" I spread my hands and looked at this guy with an indifferent look. "Are you going to replace all the plates and cups of your Eastern Turks with copper? Even if you replace them with copper, but when you go to the battlefield, do you want to use copper weapons?"

"Your Majesty, can't we have a good conversation openly?" Kang Shuoli sighed, and the fat on his face piled up with a sincere expression.

"Old Kang, look at what you said. I have always been in love with you. If I didn't miss the old love, I wouldn't sit with you and speak kindly today." I raised my eyebrows and looked on Kang Shuolli's fat face. "To be honest, the tone and attitude of the envoy sent by Jie Li Khan made me very unhappy, and the civil and military ministers of my Chinese Empire were also very unhappy. However, for the sake of my friendship with you, I also took the overall situation into consideration. Then I calmed down and made a deal with you Eastern Turks."
