Chapter 130: Adhering to the Mandate of Heaven
After an afternoon of hard work, Guo Jia's tasks were completed again, and Yuan Chang's tasks, because of the actions of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Han Sui, plus Yuan Chang's own rest for a while, also began to check, and the speed increased significantly. Yuan Chang believes that as long as there is one more day, these ledgers can be checked.
After stopping work, Yuan Chang was not happy because of the increase in work speed. On the contrary, his face was still a little gloomy at this time.
"Just by examining less than half of the ledger, we found a lot of problems. From the first two county commanders to the small officials, they were all greedy for the materials of the county government. The first two county commanders are gone, not to mention for the time being, this county Cheng Luoyuan borrowed three stone grains from the county government, and then returned the two Dan six buckets, and it didn't take long to borrow five stone grains, and the result was three stones. In the past 10 years, Luo Yuan has borrowed hundreds of stones of grain from the county government, and returned less than 100 stones to the county government; at the same time, Luo Yuan has also made no less than 30 horses of silk cloth from the county government, and less than 10 horses have returned from the county government, and the more people are greedy for ink; in addition to the county government, there is also the lord Bo Sangqiu, who has also been greedy for ink as much as 200 stone and 10 horses of silk cloth in these years. In addition to these two people who have the most, there are not a few officials and others who are greedy for ink. ”
Yuan Chang's face was extremely angry, it was outrageous that most of the people in this small Dongping County had the problem of being greedy for ink. Even in the era before Yuan Chang traveled, known as the era when corrupt officials were most prevalent, it was not comparable to the proportion of corruption in Dongping County.
Among the officials, except for the county lieutenants He Yao and Ma Hou, the others have the problem of greedy ink. If you really want to arrest people, do you want these two people to arrest the other officials? Moreover, what made Yuan Chang feel strange was that Ma Hou's personality didn't look like the past that people who were greedy for ink, but the county lieutenant He Yao didn't have a greedy for ink, which really made him feel strange.
Guo Jia shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the situation in Dongping County. I only heard him continue: "Among the documents examined, there are many errors and omissions, and the equipment and equipment in the warehouse prison are also borrowed and not returned, and the official documents in the prison are the same, and some prisoners' confessions are inconsistent and ambiguous, and they can even be understood." It is no accident that the Han dynasty has come to such a state in a small Dongping county, not to mention other high-class counties, prefectures and counties. ”
Zhao Yun and Han Sui were silent, although they were also dissatisfied with the imperial court in their hearts, but they did not know the specific situation before. However, now that they have seen the evidence in front of them, they really understand that the Han Dynasty is terminally ill. Either a major reform will be carried out and the court will be cleaned up, or the dynasty will be changed and a new system will be rebuilt. Only in this way can China rejuvenate itself.
Delay will not resurrect the Han Dynasty, but will make him fall deeper and deeper, and the people will live more difficult, and as for the great change, it is impossible now. The court was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the county guards occupied the king, and they had long since disobeyed the orders of the imperial court.
Cao Cao in history is a hero, and he has the ability to change. In the early days, his power had not yet reached its peak, so he was also bent on restoring the Han dynasty. It's a pity that Cao Cao is not Yiyi and Huo Guang after all, and finally embarked on another path. Even though Cao Cao did not ascend to the throne when he was there, he was fully prepared for his son to ascend the throne.
"I, Yuan Chang, was born in the world, and I should uphold the mandate of heaven and do things to help the people in the world. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! This is my vow, even if it is to pay for my life!"
Yuan Chang roared angrily and expressed the ambition in his heart.
"Yun should swear to follow the lord to the death!"
"Swear to follow the lord to the death!"
"I also swear to follow the lord to the death!"
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Han Sui stood beside Yuan Chang, and they also made their vows sonorously and powerfully. This rotten Han Dynasty has become a burden on the people, and the only way to push it away is to push it away. Don't seek to be famous, don't seek to be famous for centuries, as long as their lives can give Yuan Chang's ambition a little help, they are already satisfied.
Guo Jia looked at the four people with excited expressions, but they were silent.
Today's Yuan Chang has made him see the ambition of the Ming Lord, and he still has some ability. However, Guo Jia still couldn't decide whether he was loyal to Yuan Chang or not, even if his heart was fluctuating at the moment.
After a while, a smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he put his hand on the hand that the four of them were leaning on tightly, feeling the temperature coming from his hand, Guo Jia said softly: "Jia Bucai, I am willing to contribute to Yuan Gongzi, which can be regarded as repaying Yuan Gongzi's kindness." ”
Guo Jia couldn't decide whether to be loyal to Yuan Chang at this time, and wanted to let himself stay to help Yuan Chang, so the reason he gave himself was that Yuan Chang taught him esoteric arithmetic, and he repaid it with his own ability.
Even so, Yuan Chang was already very happy, as long as Guo Jia was willing to help, a decision would be made sooner or later.
Yuan Chang withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "There are all greedy inks in this county office, so I won't touch them for the time being, and when all the account books are checked, they will be cleared one by one." Besides, we have just arrived in Dongping, and the foundation is not stable, so these people still have to use it. When the time comes, let them return the ink-hungry things, and when they have enough people in the future, they will kick these moths. ”
Regarding Yuan Chang's words, Zhao Yun and the others naturally had no objections. And Guo Jia was even more worried about Yuan Chang's impulsive nature and wanted to solve these people, but now after listening to his words, he immediately nodded with satisfaction. Passionate, but extremely calm, it is difficult to think of big things.
"I've been busy for so long today, and everyone is tired. Tonight, Ben Gongzi paid out of his pocket and went to the best restaurant in the county, Hey Pi, the rice is full, the wine is enough, and he must have fun. ”
"Hey, there's a good wine, my favorite, hey, hey!"
The hey Pi Dianwei that came out of Yuan Chang's mouth was a little puzzled, but when he heard that the wine was enough, he immediately stopped thinking about what it was, as long as there was wine to drink.
Yuan Chang traveled through the previous era, the boss wanted to make his subordinates have a greater sense of belonging and be more willing to work, and it was common to take them to KTV and restaurants, and there was no benefit, who was willing to work hard for you? Of course, for Zhao Yun and them, these are not important. However, to be able to eat and drink, of course they would like to.
"Knock knock..."
Yuan Chang and the five of them were about to leave, but they didn't want the drums to sound again, but someone came to report the case. Although he was a little helpless in his heart, he had to deal with it, after all, he was now a county magistrate, even if he was incompetent, he had to give the people of Dongping County an impression of a good county magistrate.
