Chapter 57 There is a policy
Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou for only a few months, and when he first entered Yanzhou, he only raided the main officials of Yanzhou.
In this way, not only can there be vacant official positions to be assigned to his subordinates, but also a large amount of money can be obtained.
As for the county-level officials in several other places in Yanzhou, they rarely moved, firstly because Cao Cao did not have so many people in his hands, and secondly because these officials were also deeply rooted in the local area.
This also has some effect on controlling the local situation, which has experienced the Yellow Turban Thieves' Rebellion, and is already in ruins, and if it starts to change officials on a large scale after taking office, it will be untenable.
But now Cao Cao has become the pastor of Yanzhou for half a year, and now he is leading troops to fight outside.
The people below naturally have some different intentions.
In this era of princely separation, as long as there is a little idea, everyone wants to become another prince.
Xun Yu must have received a secret report from the secret spies, so he had the decision to let Chu Feng go to inspect, otherwise, at this time, he still needs Chu Feng to discuss some things on the side, and he also needs Chu Feng to check the account books, how can he be willing to let him go.
It is estimated that the construction of the inspected villages is just a statement, and the real role to be played is actually to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
Chu Feng didn't have many people with him, a few guards and two civilian officials were enough, because he had a token on his body, and he could directly mobilize the local army.
Of course, there are not many local troops left, most of them have already entered the front line to fight, and all that is left is less than a thousand defenders.
When I arrived at the nearest county seat, I took a look at the local villages, and the construction was not bad, after all, they were close to Yanzhou City, which was under the feet of Yanzhou Mu, and if they didn't do well, it was easy for Cao Cao to hear.
Who is Cao Cao, he was the one who scolded the court officials with a rod at the beginning, if he heard that someone dared not listen to him, then he had to be killed directly to set an example.
Therefore, in the county near Yanzhou, Chu Feng knew the situation and did not directly enter the county seat.
Instead, I passed by directly and went to a few more important counties to make a surprise inspection.
The county seat in the north is fighting, so naturally there is no need to inspect it, and the south and east sides are the same, as the county seat on the border of Yanzhou, it is guarded by generals under Cao Cao, and there is no need to go to inspection.
But the other counties are different, they are all officials appointed during the previous Yanzhou assassination Liu Dai.
These counties felt that they were far away from Yanzhou, and they were not borders, and they were not greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Therefore, these counties are relatively good counties in Yanzhou, and they are also relatively stable counties, but they are also counties that cannot reach power.
Xun Yu has already received the news that the county magistrates in these counties are corrupt, twisting the law for personal gain, and doing all kinds of evil.
Xun Yu, who knew Cao Cao's heart, naturally didn't want Cao Cao to return to Yanzhou after winning the battle, and after receiving such a report, it must not affect his mood, and he felt that Xun Yu, as the chief manager of logistics, was derelict in his duties.
It took five days, everyone traveled all the way, checked all the way, and with the newly built official roads, it made the road to each county easier to walk.
It is really not easy to build roads in the era when there were no excavators and gunpowder, but don't underestimate the perseverance of the ancients and their determination to persevere in order to live.
This official road looks similar to the rural roads of later generations, and if it is paved with cement, it is really a modern rural road.
It's a pity that Chu Feng didn't know how cement was made, and other traversers could easily make pure salt, and they could also invent cement and gunpowder.
Although he had also learned the manufacturing method of TNT, he didn't remember it very clearly, and the knowledge had long been forgotten to his original teacher.
Besides, that high school student will focus on learning to make gunpowder, does he know that he can cross?
The textbook is not very clear, so he gave a few recipes, and Chu Feng still remembers this recipe.
But he didn't want to get something like gunpowder out, because it was a weapon of mass destruction, and it could not only kill the enemy, but also kill him.
The true idea of the ancient Ming Lord about talents is actually one sentence, that is: If you are not used by me, you will be killed by me.
Very correct thinking, if there is no such thought, then it is not a good male lord.
Chu Feng didn't want to set himself on fire, as for the cement, he really wanted to get it out, but unfortunately he wouldn't.
Therefore, this highway is still a dirt road, but it is relatively flat, and there is a relatively spacious official road, which will save time and effort when it is far away from the county seat.
Chu Feng's first stop was Fei County, and compared with other counties, it was really far away from the emperor of Tiangao.
Circling around Fei County, Chu Feng's expression is not very good, there are few new villages, but there are many dilapidated villages, it seems that this county leader of Fei County is a big corrupt official.
The people accompanying him had already recorded what they had seen, and the next thing was to go into the city to meet this Fei County Magistrate.
Chu Feng did not have the power to execute the county Cheng, and Xun Yu said that if he encountered a special situation, he could use the military power, but it was also when an official rebelled directly, and he could only use it under this danger.
But as long as Chu Feng handled it well, how could he encounter such a situation?
This inspection seems to be shocking, but it is no danger, after all, Chu Feng is still only Xun Yu's assistant, and he can't exercise the power to remove the county from his position, so he can only inspect, that is, to make a secret visit.
"Brother Huang, you take Brother Li and Brother Zhang with you, take this record back to Yanzhou immediately, and hand it over to Lord Xun, I am worried that when the time comes, the county leader of Fei County will jump over the wall in a hurry, directly detain us, and search us directly.
Let this record get to Lord Xun as soon as possible, and I and a few other adults will go to meet this county man and investigate it clearly. ”
Huang Kaibo clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "No! We will definitely send this record to Yanzhou safely, and the trust is in the people! ”
Huang Kaibo was the deputy general among these guards, and along the way, Chu Feng did not take them with him, but left a hand and separated.
After they finished their secret investigation, they recorded everything in the book, and then found Huang Kaibo and asked him to send the letter to Xun Yu in Yanzhou City.
This is evidence of the inaction of these counties, with this evidence can be punished, and when the war subsides, after Cao Cao has completely mastered Yanzhou, it will be time to settle accounts after the autumn.
At that time, with this evidence, we will be able to confiscate those counties, which can be regarded as cleaning up some corrupt officials in Yanzhou, and achieving the goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
This kind of corruption must be inexhaustible, for example, among the generals who followed Cao Cao, Cao Hong can definitely be regarded as a greedy and lustful person, but Cao Cao only turned a blind eye.
Because Cao Hongnai is a member of his clan, or his big helper, who has saved his life several times, such a person, will Cao Cao be punished for his corruption?
Definitely not, and Cao Hong's greed for money did not have the courage to reach out to Cao Cao's treasury and affect Cao Cao's plans.
Moreover, Cao Hong's corruption was not too much, directly oppressing the people.
These counties are very hateful, they are simply a little emperor, in this county land, he has the final say in many things, and the result is naturally conceivable.
