In July of the second year of Zhongping, a letter of order in the county touched the nerves of all the people of the county, and the city repair money of thousands of dollars per household made everyone indignant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The miscellaneous taxes have been levied more and more year by year, and now there is a situation where the taxes are collected repeatedly for a year. Moreover, if they do not pay, they will be imprisoned and fined ten times, how is this different from raiding the house?

Although the new wheat has only been harvested for a short time, and the family has a lot of surplus grain, the new county magistrate is so greedy that he doesn't know what will happen in the future, and it seems that he can't live this day. The people of Qianping remembered the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Taiping Road that affected the whole country last year, and they couldn't help but regret it a little, why didn't they take the opportunity to start an incident last year? Why was he frightened by the dozens of Taiping Dao heads on the city?

However, the opportunity at this time is not too late, I heard that there are still Tiandao generals who defeated the famous generals of the court in Changshan Kingdom. General Tiandao negotiated peace with the court, but it was only because he and others failed to follow the incident, but supported the court to quell the rebellious party.

As long as he and the others make a big noise in Yuyang, they will stubbornly rebel against the court, presumably General Tiandao will inevitably make trouble again. With the ability of the Heavenly Dao general, it is easy to break the army of the court. In a few years, you will be able to sit on the throne in Luoyang City, and at that time, there will really be a peaceful world in the world.

The people in Qianping County are thinking like this, faintly, there seems to be a fire burning in everyone's chest, and they don't know when it will suddenly burst out, intending to burn all the corrupt officials in the world and return a bright future to the world.

"The cold winter has arrived, and the autumn wind is killing. On the eighth day of August, yellow flowers are everywhere. This is a newly released nursery rhyme in Yeping County, which seems to be a metaphor for something. It's just that the officials in Qianping County don't know at all, and they are still wantonly drinking high-level meetings. Everyone is still calculating in their hearts how much they can share in the money for the repair of the city wall.

On 17 July, a fast horse rushed out of Qianping County, and 100 elite soldiers who had been in ambush outside the city for a long time went straight to the county seat, opening the first major anti-corruption case in Qianping County for countless years. The six Cao officials in the county: Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Fa Cao, and Shi Cao were arrested. Of the twenty-four auxiliary officials, nineteen were arrested, and only five honest auxiliary officials remained. Even the Arichi Husband and the Pavilion Chief were arrested by six people.

For a while, the whole county was in an uproar, and soon all fell silent, sitting on the sidelines and waiting for things to continue to change. On the third day, Han Yi finally led people back. Early in the morning, a high platform was set up at the crossroads in the city. For a while, the audience was flooded, and it was more lively than the border city bazaar in one month.

Han Yi was sitting on the high platform, holding a heavy bamboo slip with a solemn face, on which all kinds of illegal things of these thirty-one people were recorded in detail. Under Han Yi's recitation, the people on the periphery all gritted their teeth. Thinking of the persecution by officials in previous years, everyone wept bitterly.

When Han Yi announced that 11 of the most heinous people were sentenced to death and 20 were sentenced to death with a cane, the people on the periphery were all thunderous and cried with joy. Running to tell each other, saying that Yeping County finally ushered in a "strong order" that is not afraid of the strong.

But the people kneeling in the field were still unconvinced, and shouted: "We are just mere officials, and if we don't have the orders of the superiors, how dare we do anything to harm the township." Han Xianjun only took us and other small officials to open the knife, but let go of the real evil, I don't accept it, I don't accept it. ”

The people were silent for a while, and then turned their eyes to Li Xiancheng, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed. This Li County's notoriety is not obvious, it shouldn't be him, it's the former county magistrate. It's just that I heard that he has been promoted, and his official position is higher than that of Han Xianjun, and Han Xianjun is afraid that he will not be able to cure him.

Han Yi didn't look at Li Xiancheng either, and took out several volumes of case slips from the bamboo slips and began to recite them. Li Xiancheng, who was originally calm on the outside, immediately widened his eyes in shock, and it turned out that Han Yi was thinking about many of his lawless things in Qianping County. The people suddenly realized, but it turned out that the notorious Li Xiancheng was also so hateful, and he was making a trick behind his back, which was even more hateful than the person who had just been sentenced.

Li Xiancheng shouted hoarsely: "Han Yi, this official is an official appointed by the court, and you have no right to judge me." ”

Han Yi sneered: "It's true that this official has no right to interrogate you, but he has the right to investigate you." Your crimes, including those of the previous county magistrate, I will hand them all over to the court and to the court and the court governor's mansion. With this conclusive evidence, even if the court doesn't kill you, I will kill you. Whoever comes, take it down, put it in prison, and wait for the court to dispose of it. ”

Cheng Qi and Chu Hu immediately stepped forward to arrest Li Xiancheng, and the people couldn't help but cheer loudly, and their admiration for Han Yi was like a blue sky, and the mountains looked up.

Li Xiancheng was so frightened that he lost his shirt on the spot, and screamed in mourning: "Han Xianjun, Han Xianjun, in the officialdom, who can be as innocent as snow, at best, how much dirt everyone is." Although this official is evil, he is not extremely evil, why do you want to do this thing, Han Xianjun. Han Xianjun, you ask yourself, will you definitely be like a saint in the future, and will you not be stained with dust? ”

Han Yi was stunned, is it really possible for him to do it? Just the two gold hiding events in Yuncheng and White Horse Temple, they can't be said to be as innocent as snow, how can they hope that others can be spotless and dedicated to the people? The shocking wood in his hand couldn't hit it for a while.

For a long time, Han Yi looked at the sunset that had gradually sunset, and said with a heavy slap: "The pillar of heaven is broken, and the earth is lacking. The sky is tilted to the northwest, and the earth is sunk to the southeast. Even if the heavens and the earth are not complete, how can people be as innocent as snow. ”

Li Xiancheng said: "Yes, yes, people are not sages, how can they be infallible." Even the sages dare not say that they are infallible. Thank you Han Xian-kun for a lot of adults. ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "The tide rises and falls, the moon sets and the sun rises from time to time, this is the reason why the Heavenly Dao is constantly running. Above the officialdom, the clean and turbid officials are often incompatible with each other. Today, Li Xiancheng is guilty, and I, Han Yi, will sentence you. Tomorrow, Han Yi will be guilty, and someone else will judge me. So Li Xiancheng didn't have to thank me specifically. ”

Li Xiancheng screamed, pointed at Han Yi and scolded: "Han Yi, you are so ruthless, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go." ”

Han Yi smiled: "If I have a clear conscience, I am not afraid of you as a human or a ghost." If I have a guilty conscience, it is a great deal to be a terrible ghost with you, and I am afraid of you. ”

After this incident, the officials of Qiping County were cleared. Although Han Yi did not clean up the vacancies for the personnel under his command, it still inevitably vacated many positions that were unfilled. Qianping County is located in a border county, and there are not many wealthy scholars who can read and write, and they have been rectified by Han Yi, but it can be said that most of the families of the wealthy scholars in the county have been offended, and it is impossible to summon officials from them to do things.

Han Yi had no choice but to appoint the personnel under his command as officials, except for recruiting a few real children of the poor family as officials. Suddenly, the county government was full of Han Yi's subordinates, and Han Yi responded to every call, and almost all the counties of Qianping became Han Yi's independent kingdom.

When Han Yi ordered the collection of this year's tax and exempted half of the labor tax, the people were overjoyed and praised Han Yi for his clarity. Because among the four major taxes, only the labor tax is the heaviest, and it needs to be paid every month. At this time, half of it was freed, and the people did not like it. In less than half a month, the tax and grain that should be paid this year were paid.

The next step is to pay taxes and grain to the county, and then the county will hand it over to the court. Han Yi looked at the warehouse full of grain, turned his head to Le Peng and said, "When you go to the county, you must share it with Lord Taishou, and this year's tax and grain in Qianping County will be paid in the form of gold, silver and copper coins." In this way, less labor can be used to transport the tax grain, and more labor can be freed up to do other things. ”

Le Peng replied: "Yes, county king, it's just that the little officials think that if it was in previous years, the county or the subordinate county would be happy to pay gold and silver, so that they would have less trouble." But last year, the Yellow Turban thieves were in turmoil, and there was a shortage of food in various places, and the tax grain in Qianping County was just afraid that many people were looking forward to it. ”

Han Yi scratched his head and said, "You can go to Qiu Gong's office to withdraw ten gold as the operating expenses for this time." I still have a lot of use for this food, so you can do as much as you can. ”

"Whoa." Lepen retreated.

It is the beginning of August, and the winter wheat is to be sown around September and harvested in April and May of the following year. Han Yi wants to organize the people to open up wasteland in Qianping County in this month or so.

There are many water sources in Qianping County, there are two major rivers of Chaohe River and Baihe River, and there are many wastelands in the county. In previous years, because the successive county magistrates did not pay attention to it, the people's own strength was too small, and the local wealthy families embezzled, the gains and losses outweighed the losses. Therefore, for many years, the wasteland has not been properly cultivated, and a lot of wasteland has not been reclaimed.

Han Yisi and the incident in Tuntian, Chongyang, Runan, listened to Chu Hu's return to his hometown to summon the guests to escort him, and saw that Chongyang collected 500,000 stones of grain last year, and there were also a lot of seasonal melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables. After paying 20% of the tax grain, 30,000 Dingkou people can get about 10 stone of grain, which is more than the grain in the harvest year, and they can eat enough every day.

The people of Snappy are grateful for the good life that Han Yi has brought them, and they are ready to make persistent efforts this year to try to reclaim wasteland in Snapyang, and strive to produce more grain this year to make their lives better.

However, the land of Snappy County is narrow, and there is not much wasteland that can be reclaimed, far less than the vast and sparsely populated county. Qianping County is located in the north, the weather is colder, and the land is far less than the grain produced in Haiyang. Therefore, Han Yi also decided to implement the strategy of opening up the wasteland and strive to win by quantity.

Han Yi thought about the Linggan Lin of Snappy, and heard that he had only recruited more than a dozen officials and thirty officials, and the annual money and grain were only 3,000 stones. Twenty percent of the grain with a tax of 100,000 stone can be paid both tax grain and poll tax. There are still more than 40,000 stone of grain left, which is enough to pay the labor money in the county.

In the period after the war, the county was able to pay all the taxes, and the head of this county was very comfortable, and even Han Yi was a little envious.
