Chapter 699: A lot of scolding

It can be said that for the safety of Li Chengguang, Li Yuanji has used huge strength.

If it weren't for the fact that the 17th Army in Lingnan was not easy to mobilize too much, it would be most appropriate to directly order the 17th Army to be fully armed, but this did not affect it.

Even if there is a real problem in Annan, with the current situation of troops and combat readiness deployment there, it will be completely fine to hold out for a few months.

Twenty days later, after Li Chengguang arrived in Jiaozhou, he did not live in the governor's palace, but directly followed him into the military camp stationed outside Jiaozhou.

The size of the barracks was not large, only two regiments plus a thousand forbidden troops, and about nine thousand people.

The rest of the troops were completely dispersed.

The area under the responsibility of the 19th Army was reduced, and the vacant space was handed over to the three divisions of the 3rd Army, the 13th Army, and the 17th Army.

After the whole army was stationed, Li Chengguang issued the first order after coming to Annam.

The emperor's order is called the Holy Decree, and the Prince's order is called the Fatwa, referred to as the Prince's Decree.

The two are mainly based on the holy decree, if there is no holy decree, the prince's decree is also a legal and compliant order, once the prince's decree is received, no one can resist.

The prince's order exists as the second-level administrative order of the state, but before that, the prince's order has not been used, and further back, Li Jiancheng often uses it.

And the first prince's order issued by Li Chengguang was to denounce Annan's unhealthy official conduct and the news that he would be comprehensively and strictly investigated.

Then, naturally, there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and all the officials, all the government personnel, whether they were established public servants or non-staffed officials, or temporary personnel, were all arrested by the garrisons in various places as soon as possible.

In the next step, of course, the house is raided, and if there is no economic problem, it will enter the second stage of review, and if there is a problem in the economic aspect, the whole family will be arrested and the property will be confiscated.

As for how to distinguish between a problem and a problem, this is actually very simple, each level of officials is limited, an official who can earn 20 guan a year, even if he has 100 guan at home, it is normal, but if there are 200 guan, this problem is big.

"Isn't it in stock yet? When is this going to be found? A man complained with some dissatisfaction.

Although the imperial court has been working hard, it still inevitably affects normal life.

The family is poor, and many necessities of life cannot be hoarded for a few months, and many people buy them for ten days and half a month at a time, and then buy them next time.

The rest is easy to say, but the most unbearable thing is that there is no salt in the store.

It's easy to say that it's a day or two, but it's been out of stock for a month, which makes it a little unacceptable.

Well, for ordinary people, the demand for salt is actually not large, many people eat salt at home, are only a little bit per meal, or only eat salt once a day, some conditions are worse, even reluctant to put salt in the pot, just take two mouthfuls of food when eating.

This kind of thing seems unthinkable in other regions, but it is a fact here, and a few years ago, it was a common phenomenon throughout Datang.

"The salt merchant has been investigated, and the government said that it is transferring salt from other places, and it is estimated that it will only be these two days." The shopkeeper shook his head, a little helpless.

This time, the strict investigation of the imperial court, so that his business is indeed better, those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods on weekdays, now there is no trace, and he can do business with peace of mind, but the problem is that the special meow is out of stock.

There is no goods to do a wool business, and now he has to go to the government every once in a while to ask about the situation, but to no avail, the government only told him that he was mixing salt, but refused to disclose anything about the specific situation.

"Can the salt merchant still be investigated? Didn't you say that only the old men of the inspectors? Someone was stunned and puzzled.

"Why can't the salt merchant be investigated?" A man who happened to pass by stopped, with a look of contempt, as an insider, the role of this time is reflected, there is such a good opportunity to pretend to be forced if you don't cherish it, it will be struck by lightning......

Sure enough, the man who stopped made an extremely forced gesture, and said with a proud face: "My neighbor's boy is running errands with a salt merchant, and he has been resting at home recently, it is said that the salt we have here is purchased by those salt merchants from official channels in other places, and the government has come forward, and the price of the goods will be slightly lower, but even if the price is low, the price of shipping here will go up, and their profits will not be much."

It is said that these salt merchants rely on the salt they take at a low price outside, change it to a closer place, and sell it directly at a relatively low price, as for the salt on our side, they all dig a pit directly from the sea, bring in seawater to dry and collect it, and there is no cost at all. ”

What?

I'm so meowy, there is still this kind of operation?

"Hmph, what is this? It wasn't until now that Lao Tzu knew how many bastards these officials had in the past. Another man began to growl.

"What's going on?" Hearing that there is a new situation, everyone is not entangled in the gossip of salt.

There was a lot of gossip about Annan during this time, today this official was arrested, tomorrow the house was raided, and then something more shocking broke out, anyway, here, anything can happen, don't be surprised, don't panic, the guest officers just need to prepare the melon seed bench.

The popularity of gossip is almost to the point where the next gossip is spoken, which can make people forget the previous gossip immediately.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, before this year, the tolerance was three yuan per person per day, and this year it was four yuan per person per day, but no matter before or now, we have always taken two dollars here, but when the charge was drawn, it was written on it for four dollars. Moreover, it was found that all people with tolerances of forty percent did not exist. ”

"Forty percent doesn't exist? What do you mean? ”

"Stupid, it's your name on the roster, but in fact there is no you in the tolerance, you don't even know, the salary is naturally impossible for you, and the rest of the work is done, and this part of the people who don't exist, the salary is completely swallowed by these grandchildren."

"I'm a fairy in the day, and there's such a thing?"

"Ruan Erdan, who was a dog, asked me to take a hundred yuan before he was willing to introduce me to the tolerance job, and the feelings were tortured by themselves at their own expense."

All kinds of scolding voices continue to resound in every state and county, in every land of Annam.

Lee Seung-kwang did not mean to cover up the scandal, but on the contrary, on the contrary, he regularly publicized certain cases that had been verified.

Although no one mentioned the prince's goodness, at this time, everyone scolded more of the previous officials, and there was no dissatisfaction with the prince and others who were handling the case now.
