Chapter 94: Corruption

Seeing that the formation of two or three hundred people in front of him was still training in an orderly manner, Sean couldn't help asking, "Taylor, how is the training effect of the swordsman squad after relaxing the age limit." ”

"Lord Lord, the effect is very obvious, the current more than two hundred new lords have all been infused with Dou Qi seeds, fortunately with the assistance of Nick and a few silver swordsmen, I don't know when it will be instilled with Dou Qi seeds. ”

"How long will it take to break through to the pro. "Sean is still more concerned about the results, although there is no means to obtain merit points for the time being, even if there is really a swordsman squad to break through to the Black Iron Swordsman, Sean does not have so many salt fruits, but it is always necessary for the island to reserve professionals in advance.

Taylor swept through the training queue of the swordsman squad, compared with the usual training situation, and said with a smile: "At present, there are 12 swordsmen who may break through to the Black Iron Swordsman relatively quickly, and I believe that the results will be seen soon." ”

"Very good, you have to spend more time on training, and I really don't need to participate in the training of the Thorn Knights formed by the Silver Swordsmen?" Taylor has always disagreed with Sean to join the training of the Thorn Knights formed by the Silver Swordsmen, which made him very depressed.

Taylor heard Sean's request again, and said: "Lord Lord, the Knights of Thorns formed by the Silver Swordsmen will definitely deal with powerful enemies, although the frequency of the fighting spirit can increase the power and defense of the charge, but the charge counterattack will definitely cause damage to all the members of the Knights of Thorns." You, as the lord of the island, are really not fit to participate in this kind of battle. ”

Sean waved his hand helplessly: "Okay then, your side continues to speed up the training, it may come in handy at any time." ”

......

After returning to the castle, Sean looked at the plump rice in front of him and couldn't help but be a little moved. Coming to this world, from the beginning of monotonous white bread to a variety of meat and seafood pairings, but Sean is most concerned about that bowl of fragrant rice.

"I can finally have a delicious meal of rice. ”

Sean shaved the rice in the bowl and asked without raising his head, "Joyce, how is the wheat harvest?" ”

"My lord, the wheat has been harvested, and this harvest has brought almost 1,000 tons of wheat to Sean Island, which is enough food for Sean Island to spend for a long time. Even if a thousand people from the previous trade with White Pigeon Island came to the island, it would not cause food pressure on the island. Joyce smiled and reported the results of the harvest to Sean.

Speaking of trade, Sean remembered the trading fleet formed by the island, and he didn't know if York would be up to the task of a trade officer. However, he is not worried about the safety of the lives of York and Simon, although neither of them has experience, but with the strength of the two silver swordsmen, and two oxygen beads, even if they encounter any extreme circumstances, it is not a problem to escape safely.

Joyce saw that Sean was in a good mood, remembered Sean's instructions before, and couldn't help but whisper, "Lord Lord, the reason why Abby was so poor has been found out before." ”

Sean stopped the food in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Joyce: "What's going on." ”

"It's that the following officials in charge of taxes have unclean hands and feet, and they have all been imprisoned, waiting for your punishment Your Lordship. Joyce said in shame that as the administrator of the island, he had to shoulder most of the responsibility for this kind of thing to happen in the early days of the island.

Sean listened to Joyce's report, and his face was frosty. He didn't expect the corruption to happen faster than he imagined, the island is still in the early stages of construction, and the people are poor, but even at this time, there is corruption, which makes him angry.

In my previous life, as a low-level civil servant, of course I knew the serious consequences of official corruption, and once it was not handled well, it would cause mass incidents.

"How many officials are involved in this, how much corruption, and what are you going to do?"

Joyce heard the lord's questioning three times, and knew that the lord must be furious now: "Lord Lord, there are three officials involved, all of whom are in charge of tax collection, and they use the name of the castle decree to collect an additional 20% of the tax from the lord. According to the law, three officials were dismissed, given five lashes, and all the embezzled taxes were collected into the castle. ”

Sean slapped his palm heavily on the table, and his dissatisfied expression was all revealed on his face: "It's too light, these moths are digging the roots of the island, this situation occurred in the early days of the island's construction, and then the island develops, don't you directly rebel?"

Sean, who became more and more angry the more he spoke, pushed the bowl containing the rice to the side with both hands, and slapped his hands on the table again: "How is the salary of the island officials, how is it compared to the average craftsman." ”

Joyce saw Sean furious, so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, this was the first time he saw Sean angry, and it was so angry.

"My lord, the officials of the islands are paid more than the average craftsman, usually between 25 and 50 silver coins. ”

When Sean heard Joyce's words, he said with a smile: "Such a high salary has to be taken from the mouths of the people who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. Very well, very well, Joyce, I don't care what the previous law was, from this day forward, anyone who embezzles, or embezzles in the name of the castle, or harms the people below, will be hanged. If the law is too light for this punishment, then change, especially for the restrictions on the island's officials, all for me, and now the name of the island is still Shaun Island. ”

After speaking, Sean didn't look at Joyce, who was kneeling on the ground, and went to the room without looking back.

Joyce saw the back of Sean leaving, he didn't expect the usually gentle lord to be so angry, looking at the mess at the table, he couldn't help sighing: "It's really terrible." ”

Then he thought of those corrupt officials, and muttered fiercely with a gloomy face: "Maybe the lord is right, if you dare to use these hands and feet in the early stage of the construction of the island, you should cut them all off." ”

He also began to have a headache when he thought that the lord wanted to revise the law, after all, the revision of the law was not a simple matter, and it was also necessary to arrange the execution of those officials.

"These miscellaneous things will really increase my work, and in the future, all those who are corrupt will be hanged, and they will not know the good and the bad. ”

......

"Miles, why did the lord know about our tax increase, and how did you say the lord would punish us?"

"I heard that the lord ordered a thorough investigation after he went to Abby's to inspect it, and I knew that I shouldn't have been greedy for that little bargain, Miles, what do you say. You see, if you want to drag the relationship and ask Lord Joyce for intercession. ”

"That is, that is, to ask Lord Joyce to intercede and let him say a few kind words in front of the lord, and perhaps we will be able to avoid the punishment. ”

"What are you two afraid of, according to the laws of the island, the most you can do is a fine and five lashes, and five lashes will not die. I guess Lord Joyce is eager to kill us now, and he is still pleading. Besides, I didn't see you scared when I received the benefits. ”

"That's good, that's good. ”
