In the twelfth lunar month, people sent by the imperial censor came down to inspect him. Seeing that he came from a poor family, they would definitely investigate him very severely.
If his mess is not handled well and those people see it, they won't care if you did it or not, they will directly accuse you according to the law.
Those who are corrupt like this will not only be dismissed from their posts and sent to the border areas, but also their descendants will not be allowed to enter the officialdom for three generations.
Grandma has legs.
Huo Qubing was stunned, looking at these account books, thinking of something, and his eyes slowly became serious: "Lord, don't worry, those guys are bullies and afraid of the strong, they don't dare to mess around."
"That being said, I am from a poor family after all." Xie Yuan shook his head.
If they want to deal with themselves, they must be interested in the grain industry behind him - as long as they remove him, the entire Jiangnan grain industry will be annexed and divided by them.
Regardless of the silk made from silkworms, tea and other agricultural crops, or the poultry he raised, these were enough to make them full once.
And the Huo family and the Cui family were loyal to the law, and they made up their minds that there was no way for these two aristocratic families to let him escape.
Sui Wang Dazai wanted to use the mess left by the previous governor to get rid of himself, and then annex the property he left behind.
The current aristocratic families cannot see it, but when they discover that the political power and economy have completely moved south, they will find that the Jiangnan food industry affects the entire Central Plains.
Whoever seizes the Jiangnan grain industry has strangled the throat of the entire Central Plains.
No matter how well you play with power, it's of no use. If you don't have food to eat, you'll still have to do it.
Like him, if he wants to survive, he not only needs to control the Jiangnan grain industry, but also needs to lead it to truly rise.
When the humble family can compete with the nobles, then he won't have to worry about his life and death being controlled by others.
Alas, another day of trying hard to survive.
"What should we do now?" Huo Qubing asked.
He had never learned how to play politics, nor did he understand Wang Dazai's thoughts. He just found these twists and turns annoying and tight.
Governor Huo knew that Huo Qubing was not suitable for officialdom, so he asked him to join the army and let his eldest son and second son, who were smarter in the family, become civil servants.
"Unjust, I will fix a letter and send someone to deliver it to Qinghe County for me to Sanlang of the Cui family."
"To Brother Yu Zhi?" Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up, "Master, are you going to ask him to come over and help?"
I haven't picked up Cui Heng sometimes, I miss him.
"Yeah." Xie Yuan smiled.
With Cui Heng's help, he should be able to handle these matters faster.
There is only a little more than a month left, I just hope that the censor from Nadu will come later.
When Xie Yuan wrote the letter, Huo Qubing immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to Qinghe County.
Because it was delivered quickly, it was delivered within two days.
After Cui Heng read the letter, he hurried to Yangzhou without even packing his luggage.
…
Jiankang.
After Wang Dazai finished handling the affairs, he looked at the memorial presented and burst into laughter.
This Xie Yuan is really capable of causing trouble.
Seeing the anger on his brows, the retainer asked if he needed to send someone to Yangzhou, so he replaced Xie Yuan.
Wang Dazai waved his hand: "No need to change, let him serve as an official for a while longer before he dies."
Soon, when the twelfth lunar month asks the censor of the capital to send people to supervise the officials in various states, he will be able to use the excuse of official misconduct to drag Xie Yuan into trouble.
The Huo family and the Cui family were unwilling to abide by the law, so they would not protect Xie Yuan who violated the law.
So as long as Xie Yuan dies, all the industries in Jiangnan will fall into his hands.
When that time comes, it will be a sure thing to suppress other noble clans and let his relatives, the Wang family, dominate.
He could even enjoy the emperor's addiction by himself.
…
On November 6, Cui Heng came to Yangzhou Governor's Mansion and met with Xie Yuan.
Seeing Cui Heng coming, Huo Qubing took the initiative to give up the position of chief historian to him.
Xie Yuan asked Huo Qubing to take leave of him.
Biejia, who was left behind by the former governor, was not happy. He immediately went to Xie Yuan and told him that a governor could only have one bidder and that his two bidders were against the rules.
Xie Yuan nodded after hearing this: "Then you go back and take care of the elders at home."
Don’t drive: “??”
When he realized that Xie Yuan was about to depose his official position, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried miserably with snot and tears.
If it can't compare to Huo Qubing's background, then he must have been miserable.
Xie Yuan smiled slightly.
A miserable sale?
nonexistent.
He first told Nabiejia that he would be given subsidies, but Nabiejia still made trouble and insisted on staying here.
Xie Yuan then brought up the things that Bijia had done over the years.
Insulting the tenant farmers, bribing the upper and lower classes, killing people, setting fire to homes, and raping women, he basically did everything a bad person would do.
"According to the law set by this officer, your behavior will be punished with fifty floggings, banishment as a slave, and imprisonment as a frontier prisoner." Xie Yuan smiled and said, "It's unjust. Take him to execution."
Biejia's face turned pale and he said quickly: "Prince, governor, wait a minute! If I don't want to serve anymore, I will resign immediately!"
Xie Yuan had already given him a chance, but he didn't seize it. How could he be given a second chance?
A certain person received fifty lashes, was stamped with the word "slave" when he had only one breath left, and was then sent to the frontier.
It was not delivered because he died on the way.
After seeing this, the other subordinate officers began to avoid Xie Yuan.
I think you won't chase me away if you can't see me.
Comrade Xiao Xie will let these bad people go.
Of course not.
He first issued a dismissal order and asked them to resign and return to their hometowns.
Seeing that these people were pretending to be dead and indifferent, Xie Yuan directly asked Huo Qubing to provide evidence that these people had done bad things, and in accordance with the law, they were dismissed one after another and sent to the border areas.
Xie Yuan naturally asked the retainers he brought to fill the vacancies in the governor's mansion.
After that, Xie Yuan was not in a hurry to deal with the mess with Cui Heng, but instead held a small banquet to cleanse him of his troubles.
During the dinner, the two of them drank wine to the moon.
Since Cui Heng was still keeping filial piety for Grand Duke Cui, he offered tea instead of wine.
"The young man from the Xie family invited me all the way to Yangzhou just to have a drink with me?" Cui Heng shook the cup in his hand and laughed.
"I came from a poor family. I saw that the world was so hot and cold, and the people were not hungry, but the emperor said why not eat minced meat." A mouthful of strong wine went into his throat, the young man looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and spoke warmly,
"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."
Cui Heng's eyes moved.
"Xie Jiaxiaolang means..."
Xie Yuan poured a glass of wine, stood up and saluted the moonlight and the heaven and earth.
The young man raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, turned back and said with a smile——
"Xie is overestimating his own abilities and wants to be an enemy of this world, let poor families rise up, change this era, and prevent the people from being hungry and homeless - I wonder if Sanlang is interested in going with Xie?"
Cui Heng was stunned and laughed too——
"my pleasure."
He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
Under the bright moon, the two teenagers high-fived each other and made an alliance.
They know what they will face if they want to lead a poor family to rise, confront the nobles, and the entire world.
But so what the heck--
Because they are sincere, they have nothing to fear. This chapter has been completed!
