Chapter 115: Collect Your Heart
"Mr. Boru, you must save it this time" Late at night, Wei Mansion, the money owner came to Wei Qi with a white cloth tied on his head, and said Chen Mo's request, crying and mourning: "You also know that Hedong has intercepted a lot of taxes in the past two years, but those money and grain, now it can't be recovered at all, once it moves, I'm afraid it will affect the entire Hedong, as well as the household registration, many of which were handed over to the Wei family, and now the envoy wants to track down, these account books and household registration are really taken out, and they can't stand the inspection at all." ”
It's not that he wants to set up or deceive Chen Mo, after all, Chen Mo has now firmly grasped the entire Hedong in his hands, if he has other choices, how dare he deceive Chen Mo, but there is no way, those things are taken out, unauthorized misappropriation of money and grain from the treasury, and overstepping his authority to withhold taxes, if Chen Mo really wants to investigate, it will be enough for his entire family to be wiped out ten times.
"Let you have people follow you" Wei Qian had a headache, although Chen Mo let go of the Wei family, he obviously had no intention of stopping, the entire Hedong officialdom and the various families were in contact with each other, and they were constantly cut at all, but Chen Mo held the military power and took the lead, these families were united, and now they can't take Chen Mo.
He knew that it was impossible for Chen Mo to uproot the entire Hedong clan, wealthy families and officials, and he still had to use people, but this time, all the families in Hedong might have to shed their skin, and they also had to be grateful to Chen Mo.
"Yes, he sent Na Dian Wei to watch over us and others, but he didn't restrict us from entering and leaving, just didn't let me leave or hide." Master Qian nodded and said helplessly.
"My Wei family has handed over all the tenant farmers' household registrations, this matter has nothing to do with me, and if you really want to investigate, no one can save you." Wei Qi sighed.
In fact, this kind of thing exists in all counties and counties, officials collude with local wealthy families, embezzle money and grain from the government treasury, and conceal the household registration of the population, but the general counties are not as serious as Hedong, and the reason is that for several consecutive years, although there are Taishou in Hedong, they basically do not come to work, such as Dong Zhuo, which makes the rights of local officials greatly increased.
Even if the imperial court really sent Taishou, the officials have already been implicated in the interests of the local wealthy families, and it is difficult to do it, or even if they are weaker, they will be directly set aside by the Qian Zhushu people.
Chen Mo's appearance timing was too good, the threat of Guo Tai's chaotic army, coupled with the defeat of Chun Yuqiong, the imperial court gave Chen Mo great autonomy and military power, and Chen Mo obviously also noticed the problem in Hedong, and did not want to solve it from Anyi from the beginning, but with the power of Guo Tai, forced the biggest Wei family to soften, once the Wei family got out of this matter, these county officials also lost their biggest pillar, and now Chen Mo holds the military power, and almost the time to occupy the counties of Hedong, so that Qian Zhushu and these people are isolated, although these people have some family background, But money and power are not equal, money is not very useful when it reaches a certain status, but the family background is more important.
Chen Mo's attitude towards the Wei family can be seen that Chen Mo did not plan to really exterminate the Hedong scholars, but this premise is that the Wei family supports Chen Mo, and now that the Wei family is on Chen Mo's side, how can these county officials still compete with Chen Mo
"Mr. Boru, you must save us, over the years, we have also contributed a lot to the Wei family, if something happens to us, the Wei family is afraid that the Wei family will also" Qian Zhushu knelt in front of Wei Qi with a puff, and said while wailing.
"Master Qian is threatening me," Wei Qi shook his head and smiled when he heard this.
"I don't dare to do it below, but if I endanger the clansmen, I don't dare to guarantee what I will do below," Qian Zhushu bowed his head and said.
"You can't do anything, do you know that this time, in order to eliminate the disaster, the Wei family has handed over all the fields and properties of this Anyi, as well as the household registration of tens of thousands of tenant farmers of my Wei family, to the envoy." Wei Qi stood up and stretched out his hand to help the money master: "In addition, there are some manor fields in Sangquan, Xie County, Yanjian and other counties, and at least thirty percent of the Wei family's land is given away, and there is no tenant farmer's household registration, do you know what this represents?"
"Below" Qian Zhushu's face turned pale when he heard this, most of the fields around Anyi were from the Wei family, and they were sent out like this, and Qian Zhushu felt trembling just when he heard it.
"So, it's useless for you to denounce me." Wei Qian sighed, patted the money master and said: "You can't fight him, let alone let the Wei family fight the envoy for you, of course, if you want to do it with the envoy in person, you can also try." ”
Qian Zhushu's face was a little pale, just outside the city of Anyi, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses now, how can he fight with others
"Mr. Berru, now then"
"If you swallow it before, you can spit it out as much as you can, and go to the envoy to ask for sin, or you may be able to save your family." Wei Qi smiled.
Qian Zhushu was a little hesitant and unwilling when he heard this, which means that most of the family wealth he has accumulated over the years will be sent to Chen Mo, just like the Wei family, no, it is worse than the Wei family, the Wei family itself has a thick background, even if these fields are returned, although the Wei family has lost a lot, it is still a big family, if he hands it over, it will be in vain all these years.
"That's all it takes, you can't fight the means of this Taishou, if you want to be safe, the only way you can think of this is this method." Looking at the dejected appearance of the Qian master book, Wei Qi sighed and said: "The hour is not early, so I will not leave the money master book for dinner." ”
This is opening his mouth to drive people away.
Qian Zhushu left a little depressed, Wei Qi looked at the back of Qian Zhushu, and sighed, this young county guard's appetite is really not small, he has just come to Hedong to gain a firm foothold, and he has already mastered the three powers of generals, politics and households, but this almost involves the entire Hedong gentry and wealthy households, but I don't know what this young county guard is going to do
"Envoy, these are the files within three years, including the household registration in Hedong, taxes, and the list of county officials." Early the next morning, Qian Zhushu came to the government office with a group of county officials carrying a large number of bamboo slips, obviously these files were not really burned, otherwise it would be impossible to get them out overnight.
"Divide these bamboo slips into categories, according to household registration, taxes, and the register of county officials, and put them in chronological order so that I can easily check them." Chen Mo just glanced at it, and then continued to bow his head and write.
"Ahh
Chen Mo ignored these people, recruited the pro-guard team over, covered the written bamboo slips with a seal ribbon and handed them to the team leader: "Take this to the prison to check the information, last year there was an amnesty for the world, but now the prison is overcrowded and I have seen it, most of them are tax resistance and non-payment, gather these people, I have something to ask, in addition, first take care of the prison guards and prison officials, if anyone resists or obstructs official business, no matter who it is, kill"
"Oh" The guards agreed, took the bamboo slips and turned around and left.
Chen Mo's killing word startled the Qian master book and other county officials, and when he saw Chen Mo's gaze, he hurriedly began to classify the file.
"Go to the grain depot to check the quantity, and let the barracks come to see me." Chen Mo wrote another bamboo slip and handed it to another guard: "Inform Shi Geng's team to take over the Anyi Captain, count the Anyi County Guard, reorganize, and if anyone disobeys the order, kill"
"Whoa"
A letter of edict was written, and it was constantly sent out, warehouses, prisons, city gates, taxes, and thieves were all involved, but the relevant officials were all here to classify the files, and there was no way to leave, in one day, the Qian master book took a group of county officials sweating profusely to classify the files, but Chen Mo was grasping the rights of the entire county government step by step, and did not give these county officials a chance to delay or block them.
Looking at the file, it was to embarrass these people, the situation in Hedong County, when Chen Mo was traveling around the counties, he had basically figured out that none of these county officials were clean, and the relationship network behind them was even more complicated, almost covering the entire Hedong, it was impossible to uproot them, but the deterrence and warning that should be there were indispensable.
As for these county officials, Chen Mo is not ready to kill, there is evidence in the hands of many dirty things of those wealthy gentry, even if they are not moved now, if Chen Mo wants to use people in the future, when these people give themselves yin and yang, then these people can still take it out and use it, and when the time comes, it is justified and justified, it is not against everyone, but against a certain family, and others dare not object, and it can also play a deterrent and warning role.
The people and wealthy households of Anyi suddenly found that the operation efficiency of the government office was much faster than in the past, and in the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mo released most of the criminals who did not pay because of tax resistance, these people were unable to repay, and many of them were cheated on a certain contract because they were illiterate, Chen Mo concluded one by one, in the gratitude of these people, Chen Mo's reputation among the people increased a lot in an afternoon.
However, the officials involved in the case, such as the Qian master book, were unaware of this, and they continued to classify the files.
In addition, Chen Mo re-regulated the salaries of officials at all levels and county guards, who had not been paid before, made up for it, and those who led corruption were also imprisoned by Chen Mo and had their property confiscated, in short, in one day, there were more than 30 county officials who were raided by Chen Mo, including the cell boss.
In fact, many people don't know what these people have done wrong, but as long as they hear that they have been found to have confiscated their family property because of corruption and bribery, many people will applaud.
In order to further improve his popularity in Hedong, Chen Mo also dragged some sins out on the streets with heavier and more hated ones.
In short, in one day, just relying on these means, the support of the entire Anyi military and people for Chen Mo has increased a lot, coupled with the Wei family's help to promote Chen Mo's deeds, at least in Anyi and the surrounding areas, Chen Mo's image of being selfless, fair and honest, and loving the people like a son began to be accepted by people.
Until the next day, Qian Zhushu and others came to see Chen Mo one by one with dark circles under their eyes and said: "Envoy, the file has been classified, please take a look." ”
"Send them all to survive and put them away, and if there are files in the future, they will be stored according to this method, so that there will be no more fires."
"Ah" Qian Zhushu and the others looked at Chen Mo with wide eyes in astonishment and said, "Don't you need to check it?"
"No, it's too much, it's good to seal it, you're all tired for a day and a night, go and rest, there are other things to do tomorrow." Chen Mo got up, stretched, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This official is also going to rest." ”
A group of people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only send Chen Mo away respectfully.
"What does this mean," Gong Cao looked at everyone blankly.
"I am not to blame in the past, but it is not excluded that I will settle accounts in the future, and I will have a sword hanging on my head" Qian Zhushu thought of what Wei Qian said before, and said with a bitter face.
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
