Chapter 199: Evil is monstrous
Hua Rong suddenly realized when he heard this, and immediately passed the order, only to see that after a while, the little minions escorted more than 500 prisoners over, including civilian positions such as Master Yu Hou's judge, and military attachΓ©s such as the head of the section-level capital.
Du Jia sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the common people are so bitter, there are too many blood-sucking officials on their bodies, you must know that these officials themselves are not engaged in any production, neither farming nor weaving, they are completely raised by the common people.
In fact, appropriate management personnel are also necessary to improve production efficiency and maintain normal order, so as to make the people live a better life, but the proportion must not be too high.
Generally speaking, there can be a manager between ten and twenty people, which is the most efficient, but the current country is actually far more than this number, take this Heze Mansion as an example, there are about seventy or eighty thousand permanent residents here, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized government city, and it stands to reason that it can bear about seven or eight thousand officials at most, but now there are nearly five hundred people here, and they are all a little powerful, even if they have five subordinates or helpers each, it is three thousand.
But the people here today are only the survivors of yesterday's World War I, and from yesterday's statistics, basically more than half of them have been killed or injured, so that if you double it, it will be 6,000 people!
Let's not forget that there are 5,000 troops, which add up to more than 10,000 people, but what about the families of those officials? There are no less than 200 people in the family members of Governor Liu's mansion alone, and all of them are moths who don't work at all, and the rest of the big and small officials add up to 4,000, shouldn't it be much? Not to mention the three-bedroom, four-bedroom, five-room, and even a dozen or so ladies they raised outside.
In this way, there are at least 14,500 people in this city who do not produce, so where does the cost of eating and drinking come from, is it not just from the people, not to mention that there are still many taxes to be paid to the treasury, so how can the people not suffer?
Now Du Jia's vision of the problem is getting more and more long-term, and he warned himself in his heart that he must pay attention to this problem, and the number and proportion of the leaders of Liangshan must also be strictly controlled, otherwise sooner or later he will become such a 'pot-bellied', and then the danger will come.
Not to mention that Du Jia was secretly thinking about the long-term problem, Hua Rong began to ask people to continue the previous evidence and complaints, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people had come up, and they all chose the guys with the greatest public anger and the lowest bottom limit, and every time their names were mentioned, there were bursts of cheers, and the faces of those in the group of officials who were tied up were a little paler.
Especially the people who were named without exception cried and knelt down to beg for mercy as quickly as possible, but the result was without exception they were beheaded by the people on the spot, and those who were alive were also shocked and colorless, trembling to look at this 'tragedy', they felt for the first time that their identity as an official was so bad, and they hated to change positions with the ordinary people below.
It's just that there is such a good thing in the world, you usually eat more and take more and occupy more, everywhere you go is majestic, you will scold anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, open your mouth, raise your hand and beat, and now you want to pretend to be innocent when you arouse the anger of the people, how can it be?
And the soldiers of Liangshan saw this scene, and listened to the heartfelt support of the people, and they also had a sense of pride in 'doing the right thing for heaven' from the bottom of their hearts, and at this moment everyone felt that it was really good to be able to avenge the people, it seemed to be much better than simple murder and arson, even the most bloodthirsty demon lord Li Kui was no exception.
At this time, another person came up, this person was about forty years old, wearing a felt hat, a small plaster on his temples, and a green cloth gown. β
Immediately, many people in the audience applauded loudly, saying that the purpose of this hole was not, and Wang Baihu was even more proud, arrogantly raising his eyes to look at a black-faced, thin and tall official among the officials below, his eyes were full of resentment.
Those minions have already been accustomed to thinking about killing so many people, and when they heard this, they immediately went towards the hole, and pulled him up, but this person was not like the previous guys who either cried or kowtowed and many pants were scared to pee, but just sighed and followed honestly.
The two axemen forcibly pressed him down again according to the custom, and knelt down in front of the people in the audience, but just as they were about to cut off their heads, they heard someone behind them whisper: "Wait." β
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and when they looked back, they couldn't help but be startled when they saw that it was the boss Du Jia who said, and honestly put down the knife and stood next to the hole with his hands down.
That Wang Baihu was already smiling proudly, but when he saw this scene, his smile suddenly froze on his face, and the panic in his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said to Hua Rong: "This general, this, why did you stop this, please hurry up and execute this villain." β
Hua Rong also felt a little strange, it had been more than half a day since early in the morning, Du Jia didn't speak except for a sentence in the middle to bring everyone over, holding his chin with his hand as if he was about to fall asleep, and let him take full control of all the things on the scene, why did he suddenly speak out at this time?
However, he naturally didn't question Du Jia, glared at Wang Baihu, asked him to calm down for a while, and then walked quickly to Du Jia and said, "Jia Shao, do you have any instructions?" Do you feel that the general is too inefficient, and many criminals will not be able to deal with it? Then I'll be quicker right away. β
Du Jia smiled and said: "That's not it, Hua Zhizhai, this efficiency is of course wanted, but it must not be careless, after all, it is a major matter of human life, we will naturally not let go of a bad person, but we must not wronged a good person at will." β
Hua Rong was taken aback: "This, how can Jia Shao say this, could it be that there is fraud in this matter?" β
Du Jia did not answer directly, but nodded to let Wang Baihu reply, that Wang Baihu thought that Hua Rong was the highest status in the audience today, at this time I saw him standing respectfully beside Du Jia to understand who was the boss, and hurriedly came over more respectfully and said: "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, I didn't expect this adult to be the main one, just now the rude is also expected to be the adult, the villain is a hero at a glance, must be Wenqu Wuqu at the same time down to earth, the champion of talent, the courage of heroes, is really the dragon among people... β
He was still babbling about all kinds of flattering words, but was interrupted by Du Jia faintly: "Wang Baihu, what you said before is the truth?" β
Keep begging three times
