Chapter 338: Another Choice

Although the heads of various families scolded Cui Mi for being shameless.

But I have to admit that what Cui Mi said makes sense.

Looking at the current situation, none of these princes in the north can scare Qin Ye.

Even if there are variables in the future, it will not happen overnight.

In this way, it is most appropriate to admit it first.

After all, if you don't admit it, you can only relocate.

And if you move to other princes, there is no tile on the top, and there is no place to stand on the bottom, so it is better to admit it here.

Many thousand-year-old and hundred-year-old family owners, when the abacus crackled, they looked at Cui Mi with admiration.

This is also an old fox.

So, everyone came to Qin Ye's Mansion for the first time.

Before entering the house, all of them were in a state of uproar, as if they had been beaten.

"Lord, we are guilty."

Entering the hall, Cui Mihua led the way and knelt on the ground.

have asked for the sake of being loyal all along, to be able to hug their thighs again.

Xu Shu and the others were disdainful of this, and they all blushed when they saw Cui Mi and the others. It can be seen that they are quite ashamed of this loyalty.

How else can faithfulness do such a thing?

Isn't that?

"Okay, your work will be rescheduled." Qin Ye said lightly.

Cui Mi and others breathed a sigh of relief, and for a while, the voice of singing the praises of virtue rose and fell, and what benevolence and virtue were distributed in the four seas, and all the people in the world admired them, all of which were gushing.

"However, it needs to be vetted first. Only law-abiding people will be able to re-enter the candidacy. Qin Ye then said.

Cui Mi and the others were stunned.

Then they all cried and left.

Xun You sighed, it seemed that the lord was going to completely rectify the Shi clan. And these people really need to be rectified.

Zhuge Liang had foreseen this matter, "Lord, I'm afraid that these people will do things again." ”

Qin Ye said: "Long pain is better than short pain, and they are all well-educated people who have mastered knowledge, and the enlightened people who have not violated discipline can still be used." As for those who are corrupt, commit adultery, or violate rules and disciplines, one person will be punished if they are discovered. I intend to set up an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to monitor local officials. ”

So, Qin Ye drafted an order on the spot and appointed Fa Zheng as the first director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Thus, the first extremely complete local supervisory body in history was born.

…………

Fazheng has established the Independent Commission Against Corruption in a very orderly manner.

A large number of working groups have been set up and stationed in various places.

One word, check.

Investigate corrupt officials and gentry who are found to be traitors and criminals, and once they are confirmed, they will be dealt with severely. Confiscation of family property, imprisonment and imprisonment, this is all light.

When the anti-corruption task force arrived, it was not only the officials of the noble clan who were extremely shocked, but also the local people.

With Qin Ye's lowering of the tax rate and the abolition of a variety of forms of forced labor, his personal prestige has reached a high height among the people.

And as he began to rectify the officials, the people's reverence for him reached a peak.

With the support of the people, the work of the working group has been very smooth.

The public security bureaus and police stations set up by the elite forces of the army are mobilized to escort the work of clean government.

People report.

Implement on the spot.

In a short period of time, how many scholars have fallen from power.

The proportion of its criminals is staggering.

At this time, the local tyrants and inferior gentry were all related to the scholars.

For example, the Cui family, the side branches add up, not to mention thousands of people.

The small giants in these places add up, and they are big giants like the Cui family.

For a time, many people from all over the world came to their homes to seek refuge.

Cui Mi in the hall was described as haggard, looking at the descendants and people of the side tribe who knelt on the ground in the hall, "Check it, this is your own life." When you do those unseemly things, you should think that there will be such a day. No wise Lord would allow such a thing to exist. ”

Although Cui Mi couldn't bear to see this situation, he also knew that Qin Ye had a reason to do this.

Unless it is a mediocre person like Han Fu, whoever changes will do it.

In fact, Cui Mi, who has been passed down like this, also has his own considerations. Now in this troubled era, it's time for your own family to go to the chaff. Get rid of the black sheep of those families and leave a thousand miles of good horses, if not, I'm afraid the family will interrupt the inheritance in this troubled era.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, every troubled era is not only a change of dynasty, but also a survival of the fittest of the big family.

The Cui family must adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, and it is now a mistake to claim the privileges of the past.

Although this process is very painful, at the level of Cui Mi, it must go through this pain.

"Master, do you just look at the children and grandchildren in the house, and the heads fall to the ground?" The ladies wept bitterly.

"They're to blame." Cui Mi brushed his sleeves away.

But as a patriarch, Cui Mi still has to save his clan as much as possible.

In fact, not only the Cui family, but all families are also facing such a difficult time.

Cui Mi and the others came to Zhen Yi's house together.

Zhen Yi looked at the begging old guys in the hall and sighed, "Brothers, in fact, my Zhen family is not having a good time. But do you know that my son-in-law is doing what he is supposed to do? ”

Cui Mi and the others nodded one after another.

Since Cui Mi and the others knew, Zhen Yi also wanted to go with them to plead for mercy. If Cui Mi and the others didn't know, Zhen Yi would definitely not get involved with them.

In fact, at this point, the heads of each family already know that this is a change in this troubled era, and each family must adapt to the concept of the bull's ear. If not, you will be eliminated by the strong.

They are also remorseful, why did Qin Ye appear here. Why don't you appear somewhere else first, in that case, everyone will also have a process of preparation.

This kind of family that suffered the first wave of changes has always been the most tragic.

In addition, who knows whether this first wave is the last wave.

If Qin Ye failed that day, his own wave of people would have suffered in vain.

In fact, although all the families hated Qin Ye very much, in fact, they didn't hate it as much as they imagined. After all, the most hated punishment was inflicted by the clansmen themselves.

The hatred came mostly from Qin Ye's outlawing of their privileges, but this was the change in this troubled world.

"Do you still dare to underestimate the new Lord? In my opinion, we need to do our best to assist the new Lord and create a new world. In that case, we will be pioneers, and the new Lord will not do us any wrong. ”

Cui Mi and the others were thinking about it seriously, and they were immediately impressed by Zhen Yi's words.

"Brother Zhen, do you have any inside information, you must tell us." Cui Mi said.

After thinking about it, Zhen Yi said, "I still have some news." In the future, my son-in-law will vigorously support industry and commerce and prosper the world. In this regard, we have a great advantage. You don't have to be staring at the land, you need to change your old thinking. The future of glory and wealth, and the longevity of the family, can be achieved. ”

"In addition, my son-in-law is also not right about things. As long as you do things faithfully, there will be high-ranking officials in the future. Many of you have a longer history than our Zhen family, and after the turbulent changes of the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty, your family must have been recorded. ”

"This turbulent era is a new choice. If you choose the right one, continue to pass it on, and if you choose the wrong one, you can look at the fate of the declining families of the past generations. ”

In fact, Zhen Yi only said these words to Cui Mi and other family heads, and ordinary people would not say it so deeply, I am afraid that ordinary people will not understand it.

So, Zhen Yi led the team, and everyone went to find Qin Ye.

Zhen Yi and the others all expressed their loyalty, and asked Qin Ye to open up more or less.

And Qin Ye didn't really want to exterminate the Shi clan, after all, in this era, most of the knowledge is in the hands of these people. And he would not allow the privileges of the Shi clan to exist, as long as the Shi clan gave up the privileges that they should not have, Qin Ye would not embarrass them too much.

Therefore, Qin Ye revealed some news to Zhen Yi, hoping to spread it to others through this old man.

It's certainly better than himself.

Now it looks like it's working pretty well.

"If there is a life in the hand, it must be severely punished, and in other cases, it will be dealt with lightly as appropriate."

At this point, the scholars of Jizhou, in this troubled era, re-stood in line, began to accept Qin Ye's concept, and fully supported him.

Qin Ye employed people on the basis of meritocracy, broke the concept of the clan, recruited the middle and lower class figures of the landlord class, restrained the powerful and strengthened, and strengthened the centralization of power. The socio-economic recovery and development of the areas under his rule began.

Therefore, under the rule of Qin Ye, the rule of officials was clear, and the social atmosphere was suddenly reversed.

Qin Ye also transferred backbone forces from the army on a large scale to strengthen the strength of local public security police stations to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil.

The most worrying thing for the people is that they will be bullied if they work hard, but here in Qin Ye, there is no such thing happening.

Therefore, the people support Qin Ye, and if it is said that the consolidation of the people's hearts is no longer comparable to anyone in the past generations.

After Qin Ye cleaned up the corrupt scholars, the people who stayed behind must be elites if they can maintain their conscience in the troubled times. He promoted these people vigorously.

Not to mention singing and dancing, it is also the peace of the country.

The people saw hope, and the scholars also saw new hope from Qin Ye's strength.
