Only three days later, can not stand the cold, many officials fainted from the cold, had no choice but to leave in a hurry, even if the others are good, the heart is also frightened and panicked, leaving Xiaohuang Village more and more, until the fourth day, only a few dozen people are still here.

Even those who reluctantly live in the fishermen's homes are not accustomed to the poor and hard days here, eating bran and gnawing on salty lumps, making it difficult for them to swallow.

After only a few days, the village was deserted, and everyone thought that Lu Zhuo would definitely not live here, so they walked very calmly one by one, and on the eighth or ninth day, they all rushed back one after another, and when they arrived on the tenth day, no one was pulled, and all the people arrived.

"What's going on? It's almost noon, why hasn't the lord been there yet? ”

Early in the morning, everyone crowded at the entrance of the village, looking forward to the wind and snow, hoping to give Lu Zhuo a good impression, but they couldn't wait for the left or the right.

The car is equipped with a food box containing wine and food, and the people open the food box, these officials you have chopsticks, I have a chopstick, eat a bite, sigh, even if the food box is full of delicious food, but, because the weather is too cold, the meals are also cold, where can it be as delicious as just out of the pot.

These fragrant meals, for the people of the fishing village, let alone eating, have never seen them once on weekdays.

Suddenly, a group of people walked out of the most humble big strong house in the village, and big strong shouted as he walked, "The state pastor has arrived, the state pastor has arrived!" ”

"What?"

Hearing the shout, hundreds of carriages suddenly exclaimed, followed by the carriage sounded a sparse noise, I don't know how many food boxes and dishes were knocked over, not long after, one by one with robes from the car panicked, some stepped on the air, fell into the snow, and then regardless of the embarrassment, even the rolling and crawling to the big Zhuang house.

Looking at the chaotic appearance of these people, Lu Zhuo couldn't help but think of the first time he was a soldier, at that time, early in the morning, before dawn, suddenly the instructor whistled for everyone to gather, and the scene was also very chaotic, but at least it was much better than these people now.

"Lord, lord..."

When they came closer, they opened their mouths in surprise and greeted Lu Zhuo one after another, and the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

Nine times out of ten, he was stunned, looking at Lu Zhuo, he was afraid and surprised, he never dreamed that Lu Zhuo would actually come out of Da Zhuang's house.

"What? Everyone was surprised to see me? Nothing, I've always lived here. ”

Lu Zhuo was very calm, there was no sign of anger at all, his cold face was joyless and carefree, calm and terrifying, but the more this happened, the more frightened everyone became, and some of them were timid, and their frightened legs were weak, and they knelt on the ground.

Some people took the lead, more and more kneeling on the ground, without Lu Zhuo asking for guilt, the vast majority of people were speechless, and they hated to find a crack in the ground to get into, just because Lu Zhuo lived here, but they slipped away in advance, which indicates that their good days are over.

The villagers all rushed out of the competition, curiously gathered around, looking at the ugly officials kneeling on the ground, the villagers were surprised and delighted, these officials who rode on their heads on the fish side, there is also today, which makes everyone feel very comfortable, than beating them, more painful.

Lu Zhuo took out the roster handed over to him by Feng Ming from his arms, walked in front of Wang Han, the county guard of Jiaodong County, and sneered, "Wang Han, ten days ago, you were the first to leave Xiaohuang Village. What's going on with Wang Yue'e of Wufangzhai? In the past few days, you have spent all day drinking and frequently going in and out of the party, which is really eye-opening for me and has set an example for everyone. ”

Lu Zhuo's voice became colder and colder, and in the end, he shouted, "Come on, drag me down with a cane and scold fifty military sticks, look at this disgusting fat body, what else will you do on weekdays except for spending time and drinking." ”

The two guards came over, and they couldn't help but drag Wang Han into the snow, if it weren't for the fact that his body and bones couldn't stand the heavy punishment, let alone fifty military sticks, Lu Zhuo would not be polite with a hundred military sticks, although he said that even if he killed someone, it was nothing.

However, Lu Zhuo didn't want to do that, it would be too cheap for him.

Next, Lu Zhuo acted resolutely, and Lu Zhuo did not let go of any of those who left without permission, only the dozens of people who had not been willing to leave, and Lu Zhuo could be regarded as opening the net.

Those who were beaten, after the beating, still had to obediently kneel in the snow to repent, and those who suffered a lot of boards, the skin and flesh of the beaten bodies were opened, and the pain died and came back to life, and they had to continue to endure in the wind and snow, even if they passed out in pain, Lu Zhuo did not allow them to leave.

The remaining 30 or so people, the meeting went on as usual, seeing Lu Zhuo's methods, everyone was frightened, not even a big gasp, Lu Zhuo told everyone about the method of drying salt that he knew, and asked everyone to formulate the charter as soon as possible, and after the beginning of spring, start work immediately, and be sure to bring up the output of official salt, at the same time, Lu Zhuo also set up a supervision department, send people to supervise at any time, and try to prevent the appearance of shady.

Lu Zhuo also knew that no matter how strict the supervision was, it would be impossible to completely eradicate corruption, so Lu Zhuo planned to set up a petition office in Pengcheng and send people to receive the people who reported it.

Like Wang Han, these people were removed on the spot, not only that, a total of more than 100 officials were left in Xiaohuang Village by Lu Zhuo, these people not only have to live in Xiaohuang Village, but also the construction of salt farms and the drying of salt in the future, they all have to make contributions, similar to the labor reform in later generations, all the assets of the family will be confiscated, that is, overnight, these more than 100 people will have nothing in the future.

After another two days, the confiscation of these people's property was completed, totaling 280 million yuan, which was in response to that sentence, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Unexpectedly, these people actually embezzled so much, Lu Zhuo's anger hit the top door, and he really wanted to chirp and kill everyone.

Moreover, this is just one Jiaodong County, but what about other places? I can't imagine that Lu Zhuo returned to Pengcheng angrily, sent someone to call Zhang Zhao and others immediately, and was about to order a strict investigation in various places, whether it was related to official salt or not, even if there were other unhealthy trends, they would all be dealt with strictly, but they were dissuaded by Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng.

Moreover, the two have the same attitude, resolute and decisive, and will never allow Lu Zhuo to continue to 'mess around'

"It's... Zibu, Yuanlong, why did you two stop me, shouldn't these people be brought to justice and dealt with strictly according to the law? A Jiaodong County surprised me, but I was afraid that the whole of Xuzhou... Even more unimaginable! ”
