Annan was initially decided, Mo Dengyong had also sent his cronies and important ministers to the capital to surrender the table, and Yang Cong's mission to the southwest was successfully completed, and then, he seemed to have nothing to do.

However, after he came back from Annan, he seemed to be busier than before, he used to stay in Yong'an Prefecture anyway, but after returning from Annan, he took the Jinyi guard and his personal guards to patrol everywhere, and he was so busy that he couldn't find anyone.

What's going on here?

In fact, there is nothing else to do, he just wants to work hard to see if he can change the current situation of poverty and backwardness in the southwest.

Perhaps, he is for the sake of the people of the southwest so that they can live a little better, or maybe he wants to make more achievements in this way, so that he can enter the cabinet as soon as possible, in short, he doesn't want to be idle and waste all his good time waiting.

Some people just fantasize that pies will fall from the sky, do nothing all day long, just do it and wait, and in the end achieve nothing, but complain about God's injustice.

Yang Cong is not the kind of whimsical person, after he came back from Annan, he began to patrol around, no matter whether he can change the status quo of poverty and backwardness in the southwest in the end, he always has to go to see it, to work hard, and then he will be willing.

I don't know if I don't see this, but I'm really shocked when I see it.

He just walked around the state capital near Yong'an Prefecture and found that this southwest is really not ordinary poor.

Yong'an Prefecture is quite good, at least the people can barely eat, at least they are still wearing relatively neat clothes, other state capitals are different, basically, as long as the local officials are greedy, the people below are not clothed, hungry, and live like beggars!

How many people can control their greed like Zhang Jiude in these years?

He found that there were very few, really few, at least he couldn't find a few of the places he had walked and seen.

It can be said that except for Yong'an Prefecture, the rest of the world is basically a mess.

At this time, he really hated Yan Song a little.

This guy is greedy himself, don't bring bad atmosphere!

This guy controls the officials, buys and sells officials, and corruption is rife below, clean officials are hard to find, and corrupt officials are a lot of them, how can the common people live?

This kind of atmosphere is really terrifying, because some officials originally had a little conscience and knew that they couldn't lose their conscience too much, but after Yan Song brought this kind of atmosphere, the conscience of most officials was extinguished.

They clearly see that the common people under their rule are not clothed and hungry, and they live like beggars, and they are desperately greedy, greedy for the people's livelihood, greedy for the people's resentment, and completely ignorant of the lives of the people.

Were they cold-blooded animals with no feelings?

Of course not, most scholars still have ideals and ambitions when they are young, and their purpose in studying at the beginning is definitely not to be corrupt officials, but to govern the country and the world.

However, after Yan Song brought this atmosphere, many people changed, they became selfish, they became greedy, and they became inhuman!

Many officials are not like this by nature, but they are influenced and assimilated, there is no way, if you are not greedy, you will have no money to honor the officials, if you have no money to honor the officials, you will not be promoted, if you cannot be promoted, you will have no money and no power, if you are not greedy, you will fall into a dead end, and you will never think of a future for the rest of your life.

There are countless examples of this kind, like Zhang Jiude, if he is not greedy now and cannot guarantee that he will not be greedy in the future, if he is still in the same place for nine years, twelve years or even fifteen years and eighteen years in Zhizhou, can he still remain honest?

This trend is indeed terrible, Yang Cong found that if you don't stop this trend, you can't change the status quo of poverty and backwardness in the southwest at all, because no matter how much you want to find more ways to make money for the people, the money will eventually fall into the pockets of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people are still poor!

So, how do you stop this trend?

It's very simple, kill, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, kill a hundred examples!

He can't control the officials in the capital, and he can't control the officials in the five southwestern provinces?

After he went around the nearby state capital, he went straight to Nanning, the capital of the Chengxuan Political Envoy Department in Guangxi, and prepared to investigate it from top to bottom, catch a few typical examples, and punish them well, to see if these people dare to be greedy.

This guy, the governors of the five provinces came, and the officials of the three divisions of Guangxi naturally welcomed him ceremoniously, entertained him with great hospitality, and offered great hospitality.

Yang Cong didn't tell anyone what he was here for, every day in addition to dealing with a banquet of a high-ranking official of the big yamen, he took his subordinates and guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and wandered around the scenic spots near Nanning, as if he was idle.

In fact, he was paralyzing the officials in Nanning, secretly, he had already ordered Shen Lian to take his subordinates Jinyi Wei to visit secretly.

As a result, Shen Lian really found out a big fish, and this big fish was Yuan Yingshu, the deputy envoy of Guangxi's Procuratorial Envoy Department.

This guy is really rampant, he is in Nanning City just like Yan Shifan in the capital, clearly marking prices, accepting bribes, buying and selling officials!

Shen Lian didn't even need to make a hard effort to inquire, and he found out with a casual secret visit, because this guy didn't hide it at all, and the people in Nanning City knew that if they wanted to be promoted, they just had to go to Lord Yuan with money.

In other words, how can he have so much power as a deputy envoy of the procuratorial department, and whoever he wants to be promoted can be promoted, isn't this a joke?

This has a certain relationship with the rules of promotion in the Ming officialdom, because local officials who want to be promoted basically have to go through the "big plan" assessment.

In other words, if you can be ranked excellent in the "big plan" assessment every three years, you can basically be promoted.

The "big plan" of this local official is similar to the "Beijing Inspection" assessment items and assessment methods of the officials in the capital, except that there is no local ministry, no metropolitan procuratorate, and no cabinet, and the evaluation materials of the officials are generally summarized and handed over to the Beijing officials by the criminal and procuratorial departments.

That's why Yuan Yingshu has the power to decide the promotion of officials.

Of course, if he is just a deputy envoy for probation, he doesn't have so much power, after all, he still has a probationary envoy above him, and the assessment materials of local officials must also be tested by the officials.

The reason why he has so much power is mainly because of his identity, he is not only the deputy envoy of Guangxi's Procuratorial Envoy Department, but also Yan Song's eldest son-in-law!

This guy is really a narrow road, Yang Cong was eager to slaughter Yan Song, and Yan Song's son-in-law was "sent to the door".

Nothing to say, kill!

Of course, his so-called "killing" did not drag people out and cut them down, but arrested them, interrogated them strictly, forced them to confess to the crime of corruption, and then went to the court to ask for punishment.

If someone else came to be the governor of these five provinces, it is estimated that he would not dare to take Yuan Yingshu.

This guy is Yan Song's eldest son-in-law, do you dare to run a family, you dare to run a family, you, the governor, may be able to do it.

Yan Song's Jianhua is famous, whoever dares to provoke him, he will dare to put people to death, not to mention the governors of the five provinces, even if it is a cabinet scholar or even a cabinet chief, he can find a way to kill you.

Of course, Yang Cong is different from ordinary officials, he has no scruples at all.

He and Yan Song are mortal enemies, anyway, they have offended people badly before, and they are afraid of wool!

Yan Song's eldest son-in-law, right, just right, just take you under the knife, so that there is a deterrent!
