Chapter XV. Internal Affairs

Dong Zhuo didn't know that Lu Bu, who he was worried about, was still dealing with the Huns in Wuyuan County, and he was a little dizzy with a lot of affairs at the moment.

"Zihua, you immediately order someone to send a certain general to Hedong County, transfer Hedong County Cheng Du Ji and Gong Cao Xu Chuan to work in the state, and let them immediately set off to Jinyang!"

Throwing the bamboo slips in his hand on the mountain of documents on the table in front of him, Dong Zhuo rubbed his aching temples tiredly, and instructed Zhang Xiu, who was surrounded by more than a dozen boxes of bamboo slips.

This Nima's predecessor and state assassin history, how long has this been without office? Tai Nima is a daddy!

Dong Zhuo really couldn't stand it anymore, and greeted his predecessor and the state assassin Shi ten thousand times in his heart at this time.

The predecessor and the state assassin history, that is really not doing anything, of course, you have to remove the work of collecting taxes.

In other words, that guy really doesn't do anything other than expropriating and looting the people!

and Dong Zhuo was killed as a chicken in order to kill chickens and monkeys, and Wang De was killed as a chicken, and in addition to looting the people's fat and ointment every day, he bullied the people, and did not do anything serious.

In this way, as soon as Dong Zhuo, the pastor of the state, took office, what awaited him was a mountain of papers, with hundreds of boxes left and right, which was very terrifying!

Dong Zhuo regretted it very much, he knew that Bingzhou was such a bottomless pit, and when he first came, he would bring one or two scribes to help him deal with internal affairs.

And now, Dong Zhuo can only transfer the nearest Du Ji and Xu Chuan, who happened to have been abandoned by him in Hedong for more than a year, and they happened to move the place.

As for those who rely on the local families, Dong Zhuo never thought about it, there are not many families in Bingzhou, and the most powerful is the Taiyuan Wang family.

And Dong Zhuo has just arrived in Bingzhou, and he hasn't gotten off the horse yet, and he directly divided the body of Wang De, the descendant of the Wang family, into five horses, and now the people of the Wang family are thinking of a way to calculate Dong Zhuo!

"The last general commands!"

When Zhang Xiu heard Dong Zhuo's order, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran out to give the order.

There are so many copywriters, not only Dong Zhuo is bored, but Zhang Xiu also has a headache.

Dong Zhuo is a little hungry now, and even children like Zhang Xiu, a military general, and Ma Chao were arrested by Dong Zhuo to be a strong man and play the role of the main bookkeeper.

After Zhang Xiu went out, Dong Zhuo picked up a copy again and reviewed it.

"Li Su, you go and send an order to all the counties and counties in the prefecture to submit the tax account books of the past few years to a certain family, what kind of accounts are these."

Dong Zhuo roared angrily and slapped the table case with one palm.

"Whoa!"

The mountain-like bamboo slips on the table were all piled up on the ground, almost burying Dong Zhuo.

"This group of bitches raised by the state treasury has no money and food, and it is empty!

Does this make the soldiers on the front line drink the northwest wind?

This group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials should really be cut with a thousand knives! ”

It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo was furious, the population of Bingzhou is about six or seven hundred thousand, and the three counties of Taiyuan Shangdang and Yanmen are also rich counties, and the population of Han people alone is more than that of Liangzhou.

However, the treasury of the state government has been losing money all year round, and even the military salaries of the 100,000 troops on the front line have been in arrears for several waves.

This situation is far worse than the original Liangzhou.

Although Liangzhou is in turmoil all the year round, there are often Qiang people or Di people and even Huns who make rebellions, and Liangzhou is located in a remote area and the land is barren, so that there is little left in Liangzhou's treasury every year.

But even so, Liangzhou still has some surplus every year.

On the contrary, this annexed state, in recent years, due to the annexation of the Southern Xiongnu, guarded the northern gateway for the Han Dynasty, although there are small groups of Xiongnu or Xianbei people break out in riots every year, but they are all small fights, and there are few large-scale wars.

In this way, the treasury of the state is not to mention hundreds of times, but it is dozens of times more abundant than the treasury of Liangzhou.

But the fact is the opposite, and the state treasury is far less rich than the Liangzhou treasury.

It can even be said that there is no penny, which makes Dong Zhuo not angry.

Dong Zhuo strode back and forth in the lobby, and these messy things in the state made him full of anger.

"Ma Chao! I order you to immediately take 300 armor soldiers, and confiscate the mansion of Wang De, who is not in the state, and do not miss a copper plate, otherwise I will ask you! ”

Dong Zhuo was ruthless, and he planned to set off a wave of anti-corruption and anti-corruption in the entire state, and completely clean up the chaotic officialdom in the state.

Ma Chao, who was in the sea of books, jumped up quite happily.

Today, Ma Chao had read more bamboo slips than all the books he had read before, and now he was dizzy when he saw them.

Besides, for the arrogant fat man Wang De, Ma Chao has no good impression at all.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't ordered Wang De's car to be split that day, the young and frivolous Ma Chaoshao would have to clean up Wang De ruthlessly.

So that Wang De knows why Lord Ma has three eyes!

At this time, Dong Zhuo asked him to raid Wang De's house, which made Ma Chao as happy as pie in the sky.

First, he can show the evil anger in his heart, and second, he can not use to read those bamboo slips that give him a headache, such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, how can Ma Chao not want to?

"Ming Gong, this matter must not be allowed! If this is the case, all the family gate valves in the entire state will go to the opposite side of Ming Gong! ”

A young man about thirty years old on the side hurriedly stood up from behind the pile of copywriting, his face full of anxiety, wanting to stop Dong Zhuo.

"What does the public think, what should a certain family do?"

Dong Zhuo looked at the young man, his eyes were full of fire, and he looked like he was obviously going to eat people.

The young man is not annoyed, he has always been humble and courteous, but he is really as good as his name, and he is forgiving.

That's right, the young man's surname is Wen Mingshu, and his name is taken from "The Analects of Wei Linggong": Zigong asked: "Who has a word that can be practiced for life?" Zi said: "It is forgiven! Do unto others as you would have them do to you. ”

Wen Shu from the Wen family of Qi County, Taiyuan, whose ancestors were once named the Marquis of Che by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after four hundred years of development, the Wen family finally became the second only to the Wang family of Qi County.

Gentle and forgiving young people are as their name suggests, waiting for the elders to be respectful and filial, treating peers with meekness and courtesy, and taking care of juniors is also loving!

When he was more than ten years old, he was famous in the township, and when he grew up, he was raised by Dong Zhuo, the assassin of the state at that time, as filial piety.

It can be said that Wen Shu can also be regarded as Dong Zhuo's protégé, but later Dong Zhuo was also in Bingzhou to expropriate and loot excessively, which caused the people's resentment in the nine counties of Bingzhou, and Wen Shu's dissuasion was ineffective many times, so he simply resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.

Today's Dong Zhuo learned about the existence of Wen Shu from the previous fragments of Dong Zhuo's memory, so he sent someone to recruit Wen Shu again and appointed him to engage in the state.
