Shiyi City.

A curfew has begun to be imposed on the streets, and only Zhao soldiers with torches come and go, shuttling through this important city to maintain the peace of the city.

I have to say that Le Yi gave Zhao Yong a lot of help in dealing with the aftermath. After Zhao Jun entered the city, when Zhao Yong was still paying attention to "buying people's hearts", Le Yi had already begun to count the money and grain account books, and when Zhao Yong remembered to implement a curfew, Le Yi presented the prepared "Three Chapters of the Law" to him. I have to say that in this regard, Le Yi is much stronger than Wu Guang and others.

The "Three Chapters of the Law" drafted by Le Yi was mainly in Zhao Yong's tone, promising the people of Shiyi that the Zhao army would not burn, kill and loot, second, not be tyrannical, and third, not abuse prisoners. Anyone who disobeys is to be put to death, whether an officer or a soldier. It was through such an order that the people of Shiyi were stabilized, so that since the occupation of the Zhao army, there has not been a single military and civilian incident.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done to make these Zhongshan immigrants submit to Zhao from their hearts.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Since Zhao Yong moved in, this place has actually become the front-line command organization of Zhao State's attack on Zhongshan, and many orders were issued from here. The command center led by Le Yi and Wu Guang is always paying attention to the changes in the entire battle situation. Moreover, since this place is actually at the forefront of the fight against Zhongshan, whether it is the Zhongshan defense line along the Hutuo River, or Fanwu, who is planning a counterattack, it is enough for the Zhao army to wait for the battle, ready to meet it at any time.

However, the battle situation is actually very clear: the iron horse cavalry, the elite cavalry unit of Zhongshan led by Sima Hui, was defeated by Qiu Li's light cavalry troops, although they went out of the city many times, intending to fight back. However, due to the difficulty of singing alone and the lack of sufficient troops, he has not been sure of recovering Shiyi; With the departure of Sima Xi, the overall operational efficiency of Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan State, was reduced to a minimum, not to mention that the Zhao army was flanked from the north and south, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction in Lingshou City made trouble in front of Zhongshan Gong, and there was no consensus on whether to send troops. Even whether to send troops to the north or south was hesitant. Finally, Zhao Guo flooded the east wall and planned to take the orifice on the plug. For a time, the voice of the Lord and the faction prevailed, and only a very small number of generals still wanted to increase the number of Fanwu and fight to the death with the Zhao army.

On Zhao's side, Zhao Yong and Le Yi had already sent the order to stop any military operations on August 13 to all troops. The first is to allow the whole army to repair after continuous battles, and the second is to consolidate the land that has been obtained to ensure that it will not be counterattacked by the Zhongshan people on the spot.

However, at this time, the Chinese did not have the concept of the so-called August 15th, and mid-autumn was just an ordinary day. Only Zhao Yong, a traversing person, remembered this day, so he had Zhao Jun's repair plan this time.

The candlelight was leisurely, and there was a spark, and there was a "crackling" sound. Outside the house was the footsteps of the Zhao army patrol soldiers, and Li Zhuo, as Zhao Yong's guard, was personally responsible for Zhao Yong's safety, so there was almost five steps and one sentry outside the house, and it was full of Zhao army guards.

This was originally the residence of the city lord, and now it is Zhao Yong's bedroom. The courtyard in front of it is the command center of Zhao Jun, and there are people who are responsible for keeping watch every night and informing relevant personnel of the military situation in a timely manner. The entire City Lord's Mansion was arranged by Zhao Jun to be airtight and absolutely safe.

Zhao Yong opened the box on several cases, revealing a piece of silk book, and after picking it open, Zhao Yong gently chanted: "The gentleman is in the face, the concubine will worship again..."

Yan'er is Bo Ji. Yan'er is his milk name, only her mother still calls her that, and even King Han himself has forgotten this name. It's just that when I whispered something to Zhao Yong in private, I slipped out, and after I didn't think about it, Zhao Yong teased her and said: "If you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short; If it is powdered, it is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red; The eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like snow; The waist is like a bundle, and the teeth are like shellfish; Yan Ran smiled, bewildered Yang City, fascinated Cai", and was used to calling her name. Han Yan can only accept it. However, the husband and wife are close to Ruosi, which is enough to see that Zhao Yong loves Han Yan very much.

Han Yan's letter is almost once a month, and it starts with saying hello and saying some things about the harem. After all, she is from the royal family, and she has an almost innate intuition for the management of the harem, everything is taken care of in an orderly manner, and the people of the harem are also very recognized by this queen with clear rewards and punishments, at least her arrival has made the harem of Zhao State orderly, not a mess.

What satisfies Zhao Yong the most about Han Yan is that she is very knowledgeable. No matter what happened in the DPRK, even if Han Yan heard about it, as long as Zhao Yong didn't take the initiative to talk about it, she pretended not to know. She knew that Zhao Yong was very assertive, so much so that many times, it was useless for everyone to oppose what Zhao Yong decided. It is precisely because of this that Han Yan rarely asks about Zhao Yong's political affairs.

However, this time, in addition to her normal greetings and longing, Han Yan mentioned something that gave Zhao Yong a headache for several days.

What's going on?

After the establishment of Sikong Temple, the Zhao State also imitated the Qin State, the Qi State and the Wei State, and established the "Shangji" system. The so-called "upper plan" means that local officials regularly report to the monarch on the work of local "political, economic, and criminal households", which is generally carried out at the end of the year. However, Zhao Guoshang's plan is quite different from other countries.

The upper count of Zhao is divided into two times, once at the summer solstice, called "Xia Ji", and once at the end of the year, called "Final Count". This is the audit system established according to Zhao Yong's proposal after Zhao Cheng took office. At the beginning of each year, Zhao Yong personally met with the county leaders and asked them to transcribe the budget of the population and the number of fields under their jurisdiction to the bamboo coupons, which were divided into two when used, with the monarch on the right and the officials on the left. At the end of the year, the monarch used the left coupon to evaluate the officials, which was used as an important basis for the promotion of officials.

The summer plan is the first initiative of Zhao State, that is, on the summer solstice every year, the bereaved divisions in various places will track the work of officials in the territory on behalf of the government, fill in the completion of the situation, and report to Sikong Temple for the record. Sikong Temple is responsible for checking the reported audit situation and completing the archiving.

The reason for such an intensive review is that Zhao Guo itself is not large in size, and the review is relatively easy; The second is Zhao Yong's ambitious military plan, which requires a strong food base and a grasp of the progress of domestic reforms. Therefore, Zhao Yong is very much in agreement with this proposal.

However, this summer, there was a scandal.

It is said that Sikou Feiyi has been in charge of the determination of Zhao Lu, and the progress is very rapid, according to Feiyi's plan, if the problem is not big, the determination of Zhao Lu can be completed by the end of this year, so that "Zhao Lu" can be used throughout the country.

One day, Fei Yi went to the palace on duty, but before he entered the royal city, he was stopped by someone, saying that he wanted to sue a person for corruption and bribery.

Corruption is something that Zhao Yong has always hated, and he told Fei Yi that for such officials, the punishment must be increased. Zhao's punishment for corruption was to confiscate all the land and property, enter the slave register, and distribute the frontier tuntian, which will never be used. It's like being another world in life. However, even so, there are still people who "rot" one after another.

Fei Yi has seen a lot of such things, and he doesn't care too much, the county order of a county is left and right, and it is not a big case, so Fei Yi let go of the case and let the people below investigate, but I didn't expect that in the past month and a half, when the person who checked the case file was put here in Fei Yi, Fei Yi was surprised: the matter is far from being as simple as it seems.

It turned out that the person who intercepted Feiyi was a small person in Jinyang, and his complainant was the county magistrate who embezzled his land and property. The judges of the Sikou Mansion interrogated the county magistrate as usual, and the result was that the first trial was terrible, not only involving Zhao Sui, the Jinyang order, but also said to have some ambiguous problems with Li Dui.

Only then did the judge realize that the matter was no longer something he could decide, so he brought a copy of the case file to Feiyi. After Feiyi read the case file, he first became angry and asked the judge to arrest people immediately and never tolerate them. However, after calming down, everyone was allowed to stand still, and the hall was secretly real, and finally the tip of the iceberg was revealed.

Since Zhao Yong promulgated the decree on the verification of the hidden field, Jin Yang has been in disobedience, and Jin Yang ordered Zhao Sui to cooperate with the work of the Widow Division on the surface, but secretly concealed and underreported the hidden field, and even helped others to conceal the number of fields. He even lied about other people's land as his own, and tricked others into saying that it was to help him get more land, but in fact, when the land deed was settled, the land he falsely reported became his own legal property, and the person who was deceived became homeless and displaced. finally provoked the anger of the heavens, so much so that the complaint was brought to Handan.

However, Zhao Sui is so arrogant, why didn't anyone report him? What's more, in addition to the local subordinates, the Department of the Survivors is the main agency responsible for the verification of land properties, but it has been turning a blind eye, why is this?

When Feiyi checked further, it could be regarded as revealing the mystery. There is nothing special about this Zhao Sui, but he has a brother in his own family, who is one of the best ministers in Zhao State; And in order to cover up his scandal, he befriended a celebrity in Sikong Temple.

These two people are terrible, because Zhao Sui's brother is called Zhao Bao, Feng Pingyangjun, and he is the Situ of Zhao State; And this celebrity in Sikong Temple is not someone else, but the favorite general promoted by Sikong Zhao Cheng, Li Dui.

It is said that since Lord Li was rescued by Zhao Cheng and became Da Sikong's confidant, he quickly rose to become the new political star of Zhao Guo. Master Li, who is smooth in everything and very successful in life and work, relied on Zhao Cheng's bonus and soon became a rising star in Zhao Guo's political circles, and many people began to stammer with him. There are many people coming and going, and Li Dui is naturally very useful for some habits of officialdom, so he does not take less money from people on weekdays and does things for others.

Fei Yi suddenly felt that there was a smell of conspiracy in this, otherwise it would be impossible to explain so many coincidences. even said that even the identity of the whistleblower is suspicious: you must know that the people of the Warring States Period did not have such a high ideological consciousness as in modern society, if there was no guidance from a master, how could this whistleblower come to Handan, and he could still recognize Feiyi at a glance, and finally detonated such a conspiracy?
