"Xun Yu?" After listening to Huang Xu's report at the Hubu Yamen Office, Zhao Wen went to Xun Yu's place after leaving. Chu Nan nodded. Chu Nan didn't want to kill this talented Wang Zuo, but for a while
I can't find any reason to ask the other party to come out to work. After all, the two parties have completely opposite ideas.
Just because Xun Yu is showing weakness now does not mean that the other party recognizes him.
Staying in Xuchang is just to leave an escape route for the Xun family. After all, Xun Chen and Xun You are now with Yuan Shao.
"He doesn't need to monitor him. He just needs to keep an eye on people like Zhao Wen." Chu Nan said to Huang Xu.
He knew very well that with Xun Yu's ability, it would be difficult for the secret service to monitor him when he was about to leave or what he was going to do. After all, there were not many people in the world who were proficient in the Qi Sect. Cao Cao actually had four of them at the time. This was outrageous. He was proficient in the Qi Sect.
For people who don't understand Qimen, even if there is no other external force to support them, it is still a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Here!" Huang Xu nodded in agreement. Seeing that Chu Nan had no other instructions, he took a step back and disappeared into the shadows. He was like a ghost in the Hubu Yamen office. It was difficult for ordinary people to detect it. Only Chu Nan needed it.
, he will appear next to Chu Nan at any time.
Wang Zifu and Wu Shuo submitted documents at the same time and wanted to be transferred to another government office, but Chu Nan detained them. These two tool men were very capable and worked very hard, so it was good to stay here.
However, since yesterday, the two people's enthusiasm for work seemed to have declined. Chu Nan secretly used his mind-reading power to take a look. It turned out that he realized that he already knew their details and did not want to pretend anymore.
Think about it, among the six ministries, even Kong Rong's Ministry of Rites didn't have any spies, but the Hubu Yamen Office was the least likely to have spies. The officials from top to higher up, except for Chu Nan, the Hubu Shangshu, were almost all our own people.
.
Although there are many rights that he comes into contact with in daily life, he can control none of them. Chu Nan will not argue with them about trivial matters, but when it comes to major matters that require decision-making, Chu Nan will not give them a chance to intervene at all.
Want to go on strike?
How can that work?
You are on strike. Why can’t I, a good person from Chu, do so many things in the Household Department personally?
After discussing the affairs of the ANBU, Chu Nan left the government office and went to the Xuchang County Magistrate's office. The new county magistrate was named Guo Zhen. He was promoted by Chu Nan from the grassroots level. He was a talented person from a poor family in Xuzhou and naturally had no reputation.
But his ability is good. He has served as a county magistrate in Xiapi, Guangling, Jianghuai, and Runan before, and he has rich experience. The most important thing is that his character is more in line with Chunan's wishes. He is not pedantic, but he has his own principles, but he also knows how to live in harmony with the light.
They are considered to be among the most outstanding talents in Xuzhou.
"I've met your lord." Seeing Chu Nan Guo Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite." Chu Nan sat down and smiled: "There is something you need to do."
"Please give me your orders." Guo Zhen bowed and said.
"Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs headed by Wu Shuo, please pay attention to their families." Chu Nan took the water offered by the waiter and took a sip.
"Your Majesty wants to..." Guo Zhen looked at Chu Nan. He had been dealing with the officials' children these days. Could he be targeting the officials of the Ministry of Revenue?
Although his rank is not high, Guo Zhen is considered a backbone under Lu Bu and knows some secrets.
"No, it's not good if you do this too much. Some petty troubles, as well as their family properties, shops, etc., have people check them every few days. Remember, everything must be legal.
Comply with the regulations, don't judge randomly, there are no problems, have a good attitude towards others, and don't let others find faults." Chu Nan put down the water glass and said.
Fishing under one's own hands is not recommended.
Guo Zhen understood, nodded and said: "You can rest assured."
In fact, this method is very common. Generally, government officials will use this method to deal with some small businessmen. In fact, this kind of thing is very unpopular. Chu Nan also encountered this kind of thing before when he was doing business. It will definitely be dealt with in the future.
, this kind of thing may not seem big, but it damages the foundation and credibility of the court.
The harm caused by high-ranking officials may be a policy issue and is macroscopic, but the harm caused by grassroots officials and officials is immediate. There are currently no provisions in this regard in the new law. We must first curb the power of the military and wait until Yuan Shao is defeated.
After that, it’s time to clean up the official atmosphere.
Chu Nan still has some confidence in defeating Yuan Shao, not because of history. In history, ability was naturally a factor in Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao, but luck also accounted for a large proportion.
His confidence comes from the system. The population of the three states of Yan, Henan and Xu is no less than that of Yuan Shao. After the New Deal is stabilized, Lu Bu's ability to mobilize the population under his rule is definitely stronger than that of Yuan Shao.
As for the most important issue of food and grass, Chu Nan can solve it as long as there is a one-year buffer time. When two major forces compete, aren't they fighting for their respective comprehensive strengths?
In terms of overall strength, as long as Chu Nan is given time, Chu Nan is confident that he can surpass Yuan Shao. This is an institutional advantage. Although his new law has shaken the original foundation, it has injected new vitality and a new power class.
With the motivation to strive upward, as long as people can see hope, they are willing to come out to protect this hard-won life.
In the next few days, Wang Zifu and others chose to lie down and put things off as they could. People were surprised to find that the household department, which had been very efficient in the past, suddenly seemed to have a different look.
However, troubles frequently occurred in the homes of these officials. From time to time, family members were taken away by government officials for interrogation, or their family properties in the city were seized, only to be reopened after two or three days when nothing happened.
"It must be Chu Nan!" Wang Zifu gritted his teeth and said. Seeing Chu Nan's lack of urgency in the past two days, he knew that Chu Nan was behind it.
"What should we do about this matter?" Wu Shuo was a little helpless. The matter was not serious, and they did not even need to take care of it. After finding out, as long as he did not do any evil, the government office would let him go. But if this continues, the family will
There is no peace.
"It's nothing more than forcing us to serve him. Humph, how can there be such a rule in the past? How can we be coerced by him!?" Prince Fu snorted coldly.
But the next day, he found that many officials began to work hard, and the families of these hard-working people were indeed much more peaceful.
This made the prince server very angry.
"Scholars must have integrity, but where is your integrity!?" After Chu Nan went out, Wang Zifu pulled over several officials who were working hard and scolded him angrily.
"Sir, your Majesty is right. These things are within my scope. If you are in your position, you should pursue your own affairs. If you use laziness to fight against your superiors, how can you talk about the integrity of a scholar?" an official in charge said with a wry smile.
.
"I..." Wang Zifu was a little frustrated, but what he said was reasonable, so he said angrily: "Then please resign!"
Wu Shuo sighed and said, "Zifu, where are you going to resign? My family and I are all here in Xuchang. According to your conduct, if I wholeheartedly become his enemy, I am afraid we will not end well."
With Chu Nan's behavior, you are stumbling upon me to prevent me from having an easy time. I have many ways to make you sad. Look at Zhang Yi's new plan this time. Chu Nan's counterattack methods will not make things difficult for you, but for your family
If you find fault with yourself, you will be severely punished!
The reason why aristocratic families are called big families is because they have many children. Which family does not have a few unlucky playboys? If there are not some in the family, will there be some in the family of brothers and sisters?
What they did to you was reasonable and legal. If they want to move the whole family by then, many problems will arise. You can leave if you want, but you must explain the problems clearly first and check them one by one. You have not persecuted anyone or embezzled public property.
Then leave. If you are found out, I'm sorry. Please stay and atone for your sins first before leaving.
It is difficult for most scholars to be clean when they start their careers. Even if you are clean, you will not be able to protect your clan members from bullying others. If you really want to investigate thoroughly, who can have a clean butt?
This Song Bin incident has also made the scholars see some things clearly. If you want to scheme against others, you must wipe your own butts first. Otherwise, if they are new here, they will not be able to do much. But it will only take you a few years or more to check you.
Check back.
Chu Nan would not do this easily, but they believed that Chu Nan would not mind doing this when necessary.
Now we just ask them to do their part well. This is not too much to ask, so why bother?
By collectively resigning, isn't this forcing Chu Nan to use their tactics?
Therefore, many people, including Wu Shuo, have backed down. In this situation, it is better to do less than to do more. Facing a person like Chu Nan who has no taboos, it is better to do less.
In fact, after this incident, many nobles have begun to fear Chu Nan from the bottom of their hearts. As long as you dare to play dirty, he will definitely be more ruthless than you. How they used their power to torment people in the past, now Chu Nan can do the same.
Use your rights to give you a hard time.
And Chu Nan's attitude is also very simple. I don't ask you to be loyal to me, but you have to do things for me. If you do well, everyone will live in peace, receive your salary, and do what you do. If you don't do well, you will be punished how to do it.
But if you make Tizizi play dirty, now the power is in someone else's hands, how can you outplay someone else's?
In fact, the people who compromised were not just the Hubu group, there were many more. The sense of superiority of the gentry was gradually disappearing under the butcher knife of Chu Nan. Some moved their families to Jizhou or Jingzhou and other places, but this was not allowed here.
You are gone, but you still have your family property here.
The court will take back your family property, shops, etc.
You are here, the new tax law of the imperial court has only changed the tax system, but as long as the land deed is obtained, whether it is yours or not, it is enough to pay taxes on time, but if you leave, the land will belong to the public.
Many families who had moved to other places before Lu Bu came, had their cultivated land returned to the government offices. In addition, those who were killed for resisting, now more than half of the cultivated land in the three states of the Central Plains is returned to the government offices.
All in all, the cultivated land in the hands of the gentry has shrunk severely in just two years.
Of course, correspondingly, the population of the gentry has also dropped sharply in three years, and many former wealthy families have been pushed aside during the implementation of this new law.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Central Plains gentry went from resistance at first to numbness now, and then gradually accepted it later.
"Zi Lan, how come you..." Wang Zifu looked at Wu Shuo in astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.
Wu Shuo shook his head and said nothing.
Things in this world are like this, if you don't compromise, you will perish. No one wants to die, let alone die with your family.
Although there was no answer, his attitude said it all!
The prince was dumbfounded, now they don't even have the qualifications to strike!?
