Wan Du Gui's temper today is not small, his speech is full of gunpowder, everyone in the hall does not dare to gasp loudly, and the eyes that look at Wang Li are also full of sympathy.

The thief Cao Wang Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The general forgives the sin, it's not that he is incompetent, it's really that the thief is too cunning, he found some clues, but every time he was artificially cut off at the key point, and asked the general to give his subordinates some more time!" ”

"You can't catch the thief, you can't solve the case, but you're still shirking responsibility!" Wan Dugui was furious, took out an arrow from the lottery and threw it down, shouting: "Come on, the rod will be punished for twenty!" ”

Wang Li was so frightened that he shouted: "The general spares his life, spares his life!" ”

Four officials walked in with water and fire sticks and pressed Wang Li to the ground, one held down his upper body, one held down his feet, and two people held water and fire sticks on the left and right sides and raised them to beat, only to crackle, so painful that Wang Li screamed again and again.

Zhao Junsheng saw that he was very concerned, it was really a great ancient time, the thief Cao Hao was also the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, an official with real power, and if he couldn't solve a case, he would be beaten, did he still have a royal law? What is the difference between being an official and being an ordinary person?

It seems······ This official of the Northern Wei Dynasty is really not good!

The twentieth board was beaten, and Wang Li was already in pain, but fortunately, this person's body was still strong and he was not knocked unconscious, but he was afraid that he would be unable to move for several days.

But he heard Wan Du Gui shouting: "Wang Li, this general will give you another ten days, if you can't solve the case within ten days, you will wait for the dismissal and investigation!" ”

Zhao Junsheng understood now, when the emperor Tuoba Tao was about to go south, what Wandu wanted was not the truth of the case, but to close the case as soon as possible, otherwise a county magistrate drowned in Bishui Lake for no reason, whether it was drowned or he killed, there was no conclusion after a month or two, if the emperor asked, how could he, the Taishou who guarded southern Xinjiang, answer?

"Yes, yes, humiliation obeys, thank you general for giving humiliation another chance!" Wang Liqiang endured the pain and agreed, and several officials carried him out to deal with his injuries at the signal of Wandugui.

Wan Dugui's gaze swept over the officials under the hall, and he spoke again: "Liang Peng! ”

Liang Peng's heart sank, and he stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

"Starting tomorrow, the army will strictly enforce military discipline, and there will be no slack in drills, and if there is a violation, all will be severely punished!"

"Obey!"

Wan Dugui's gaze stayed on the county lieutenant Tang Mang, "Recently, many incidents have occurred in Suiyang City at night, there are people in the rivers and lakes fighting with weapons, thieves stealing, and the public security is getting worse and worse, you county lieutenant can't escape the blame!" From now on, all cities in the county will be under martial law from night time, and after martial law, if it is not for urgent official business, no one is allowed to go out on the street casually, and it has been caught and dealt with in accordance with martial law! ”

Fine sweat broke out on Tang Mang's forehead, and he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, General!" ”

A proper word! In this Liang County, he is covering the sky with one hand and making a promise, and no one dares to disobey and oppose it, otherwise there will be no good end, and the situation of military dominance can be seen from this.

All the officials inexplicably felt the pressure skyrocket, what was going on? Why did this General Wan suddenly rectify the officialdom and garrison? And martial law? All of this is a sign that something big is about to happen.

Only Zhao Junsheng understood that all that Wandugui did was to welcome the arrival of Emperor Tuoba Tao.

"Okay, that's all General Ben has to say, do you have any other official business to say?" Wan Du Gui asked.

At this time, everyone knows that more is better than less, and if it makes Wandu unhappy, God knows what will happen? It's not impossible to move your head.

Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "General, there is something to report for your humble position!" ”

"Say!" Wandu raised his hand.

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, and immediately said: "A few days ago, I took a cadre of subordinate officials from the Facao Department to visit the posts below, visited the fifty-one posts in the county, and found many problems. In recent years, the money allocated by the Taishou Mansion to the Facao Department to maintain the operation of the posts in the county is quite sufficient, but the situation of the posts is still getting worse, some posts, including the post chief, the post soldiers have run away, and the post houses are also dilapidated, while some post soldiers run home to do farm work during the duty period, or go out to find work for themselves, and some idle post soldiers get together to gamble for money, and some people even pull out the horses used to deliver official documents and sell them. The soldiers often don't get paid! ”

Wan Dugui frowned and asked, "Is the situation so serious?" ”

"Yes!"

"And what is your purpose in bringing it up today?"

"Naturally, it is necessary to solve it, otherwise the county's post system will collapse, and it will become more and more difficult to deliver official documents!"

Wan Dugui asked, "Then how are you going to solve it?" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately analyzed and elaborated on the reasons for the gradual collapse of the post system and the inability to make ends meet, and put forward several solutions.

In terms of solutions, Zhao Junsheng's purpose is to strictly implement the rules and regulations, integrate resources, use them rationally, open sources and reduce expenditures, and fully delegate power to each station, not only so that they can bear their own profits and losses, but also hand over a part of the profits.

Zhao Junsheng's remarks also hit the nail on the head, causing a lot of discussion among the officials present.

After listening to this, Wan Dugui asked: "Zhao Junsheng, what you said about strictly enforcing the rules, eliminating some unnecessary and abandoned posts, rational use, and delegating power to each post to let them earn money to maintain it, these generals all support." However, how to proceed with the open source and reduce expenditure, you said in detail! ”

Zhao Junsheng arched his hand and said: "Let's talk about throttling first, the biggest problem of each post making ends meet is the loss, where does the loss come from?" It is because the officials and their entourage do not give money for accommodation, food, and drinking, and all let the post posts fill the gap by themselves, and the post chiefs and post soldiers have to take out their salaries to make up for it in order to maintain, and in the long run, it is natural that it cannot be maintained, and the officials take it for granted that they eat and drink for nothing at the post station, and the throttling starts here, and the Fa Cao Department announced from now on that all post stations in the county will no longer provide free food and lodging to and from the officials in the county, and they can eat and drink if they want to stay in the hotel, but they must take money, and if they don't take money, they will not receive it. Fall in love with it! ”

Jun Cheng Wu Zhen finally found an opportunity to make trouble, and he chuckled: "Zhao joins the army to do this, it will make Liang County lose face, right?" This is the case with all post stations in the world, how can there be a reason for officials to charge money for accommodation and meals at post stations? If it is an official of the county, it is just that, and the so-called family ugliness is not publicized; If officials from other counties or even the imperial court come to Liang County to stay at the post station, they will also charge room and board fees, where will the faces of the officials and officials from all over Liang County go? ”

Zhao Junsheng was not afraid of Wu Zhen, he was always a sworn enemy, there was no difference between early and late confrontation, he sneered: "Dare to ask Wu Juncheng, who stipulates that officials do not need to pay room and board fees when staying at the post station?" ”

“······” Wu Zhen was speechless, but he immediately said: "It is normal for officials to stay at the post station without paying for food and lodging, and you suddenly want to collect money, how can you ask the officials to be willing?" ”

"Refusal? It's simple, I just said it, this post will not be accepted, please take a few steps forward! It is natural to pay for accommodation, food, and wine, do you want to pay for accommodation and wine at the inn? Why don't you pay at the post station? ”

"If officials go out on official business, the government generally has a fee to subsidize food and lodging, but the officials don't use this money, they have their own pockets, and they use the public for food and housing, which is equivalent to taking two business trip subsidies! How can this not make the investment in the government post system increase day by day? If the government does not continue to invest money, the post system will collapse, and the decrees of the imperial court and the higher authorities will not be issued in time or will take longer to be issued! ”

"If a ruler goes out for personal business, why should he eat and drink for nothing? When officials from other counties or imperial courts come to their own county, why should they impose this burden on the county government for food and lodging? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng bowed his hand to Wandu Gui and said: "General, everyone knows that money is required for food and accommodation, but it has become a habit for officials to stay at the post station without giving room and board, which is not explicitly stipulated in the imperial court, so it is not difficult to correct this habit and concept, if you don't give money, you won't receive it, in the wilderness, they have nowhere to go, if you want to stay and eat, you can only give money to live and eat, after a long time, this bad habit will naturally be corrected, and there is no need to worry about causing any chaos, Could it be that it would be glorious for them to talk about such an ugly thing as not paying for accommodation and food? ”

The government's investment in the post system is getting bigger and bigger, but it is still stretched, Wandu Gui has been very distressed about this matter, and now Zhao Junsheng proposed these solutions, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible, and immediately expressed his support: "Okay, this matter is so decided, strictly enforced!" ”

He added: "Tell me about open source!" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "The lowly intend to issue a notice to the people of the county in the name of the Fa Cao Administration, announcing that under the premise of charging a certain fee, the people will pass letters or carry goods to their relatives and friends in the county, and the officials themselves will have to pass official documents to the officials. Some horses and carriages can be added, and although the input increases, the income will also increase exponentially. Here is a detailed description of the humble position, and please take a look at it! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junsheng took out a few pieces of paper full of words and handed them over.
