The master of Sujube County came, and he was brought by Tao Yao.

After Tao Yaoyao brought him in, he threw away the rope in his hand and saluted Li Congjing with a fist: "Your Highness, the main book of Suzao County is brought." After speaking, he took off the black cloth in front of his eyes and said to him: "This is the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, don't you bow down?" ”

According to Tao's previous temperament, after she brought people in, she must have thrown the other party in the house casually, threw herself into the chair by herself, or grabbed her messy long hair, or took out a glass of water to drink, and ignored the matter. But now it was different, she saluted Li Congjing respectfully, and finished what she had to do in a proper manner, so she stood aside and kept a standby look.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" The main bookkeeper had not been told what he had done here, and when he heard Tao Yaoyao's words, he was greatly surprised, but he should have believed in Tao Yaoyao's words, because he immediately pounced and bowed down, shouting: "Sun Qihuang, the chief bookkeeper of the lowly sour jujube county, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"Excuse me, get up!" Sun Qihuang was born with a fat head and big ears, five short figures, and he looked very blessed, Li Congjing and Yan Yue made him get up.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin." Sun Qihuang trembled and got up, not daring to look directly at Li Congjing, his demeanor was cramped and very nervous. got up, didn't see Li Congjing asking, didn't dare to say anything without permission, and waited respectfully.

"Don't be so cramped, Lone won't eat you." Li Congjing smiled and said, "Since you are the chief bookkeeper of Suozao County, you should know clearly about the resettlement of displaced people in Suozao County. ”

Before Sun Qihuang came, Li Congjing had already told Wang Pu why he found this person. Speaking of which, there is no wonder, there are many people in the Qin Wangfu and the Military Intelligence Department whose hometowns are in Huazhou, and there are some township relations with the officials of the counties in Huazhou.

This is one of the rooms used in the Art of War, which is called the countryside.

Hearing Li Congjing's mouth, Sun Qihuang listened attentively, not daring to miss half a word, after Li Congjing finished speaking, he sorted out his thoughts a little, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, there are three ways to deal with displaced people in Suozao County. First of all, they were selected by the garrison generals, county officials, and wealthy families, and selected young and beautiful women to be filled into the rich families, either as slaves, or as servants, or as tenants; secondly, it is selected by the garrison and the monastery, and it is also selected to be young and strong, and used to cultivate the land for the tundi and the monastery; In the end, there were some old and weak women and children left, and some of them were driven away from the county if no one wanted to take them in, and those who really couldn't be driven away were left to fend for themselves. ”

Li Congjing and Mo Li looked at each other, and anger suddenly rose in their eyes.

Wang Pu was particularly surprised, "How can this be?!" Thinking of something, he argued: "What's going on with the porridge shack outside the county, and what's going on with so many homeless people gathered there?" ”

"Lord Hui, there is indeed a porridge shed outside the county, but they are all built temporarily when I heard that King Qin is coming, and they are used to deal with errands." Speaking of business, the nervousness on Sun Qihuang's face decreased a lot, and his speech was clear, "There are indeed some people among those people who are displaced people from other counties, and the county can't drive them away." However, after previous treatment, these numbers are not large enough to cope with the inspections. As a result, the big families sent some tenants to pretend to be vagrants—all of whom had been sternly warned in advance not to talk to the officials. If an official asks questions among the displaced people, there will naturally be someone arranged in advance by the government or the wealthy family to reply to the official. ”

Wang Pu: ""

"How can it be!" Rao is Li Congjing's self-cultivation and self-cultivation skills have long been unusual, and he was so angry that he dropped the teacup at this time. Sun Qihuang trembled with fright, and hurriedly fell to the ground, his head trembling against the ground, not daring to say a word.

On the surface, the acceptance of young and strong homeless people by officials and wealthy families seems to be contrary to the analysis that local governments do not accept homeless people, but in fact it is not. In this way, the government does not register and create a household register, and the homeless people enter the private houses of officials and wealthy people for their dispatch, and the host family does not have to provide wages and is not responsible for their life and death, but can be driven at will, which is no different from livestock.

This is already human trafficking!

Who doesn't want labor that doesn't cost money, black households that can be driven at will?

"Treating people as mustard, wantonly buying and selling people, the image of troubled times, the image of the last days!" Li Congjing gritted his teeth, looked up to the sky and sighed angrily, "I knew that the states and counties would not resettle the displaced people well, and the situation of the displaced people would be extremely difficult, but I never thought that the situation would be so bad!" The world is in chaos, people's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are in turmoil, and it is so far, it is so far! ”

A large number of young and strong laborers flowed into the homes of officials and wealthy people, and became black households. Therefore, even if the hometown is rebuilt after the disaster, the number of households will be sharply reduced, the local labor force will be insufficient, the natural output will also be sharply reduced, and the imperial court will be reduced in taxes. How can it be wasted when the local forces get a large amount of young and strong labor? As a result, the land annexation became more severe, and the displaced people increased, and the rich became richer and the poor poorer, until they entered the cycle again.

In the long run, the power of the local government and the imperial court will disappear from one another, how can the imperial court afford to raise elite soldiers? How can local officials and generals not be rampant? How can you put the imperial court in your eyes? Once the society is eroded, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the people deviate from morality to a certain extent, Rao is the successor has the posture of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, how can he be able to turn the tide?

Local forces eat the flesh of the country and fatten themselves, which is really no different from parasites. In the long run, the country will not become a country, the people will not become a people, and if foreign invasions, how can Shenzhou not sink by land?

Li Congjing has been on the battlefield for a long time, has his own killing atmosphere, governs Lulong Kyushu, defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, and has his own majesty, at this time, under the anger, like a tiger and a wolf, people can't look at it directly. Mo said that Sun Qihuang, who was lying on the ground trembling, was Wang Pudu's face was pale, his body was stiff, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Your Highness is angry! Suozao County's harm to the country and the people is indeed a crime that cannot be punished, so that those who hear it can't wait to sleep on its skin and eat its meat, but it is slippery and more than 10 counties in Pushu Prefecture, but the situation may not be the case. At this time, only Mo Li could persuade him, and he stood up and saluted, "I hope His Highness will see it." ”

Li Congjing was persuaded to do so, barely calmed down for a while, and sat down again. These moths of the country must be removed, but this is not the time to be angry, he turned to Sun Qihuang and asked in a soothing tone: "Is there any proof of what the master has just said?" ”

Sun Qihuang trembled when he heard this, took out a rather thick book from his arms, didn't dare to raise his head, and raised his hands above his head, "There is an account book with records of the details of the transactions, presenting it to the King of Qin!" ”

Tao Yaoyao took the account book from Sun Qihuang's hand and handed it to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing took the account book and flipped through it for a while, his face was pale, but he didn't get angry anymore.

Putting down the account book, Li Congjing stood up, helped Sun Qihuang up, and comforted him in the other party's sincere and frightened gaze: "Master Sun's exposing illegal things has contributed to the country, and the court will definitely not treat him badly." ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin!" Sun Qihuang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Li Congjing waved his hand and motioned for Meng Songbai to take Sun Qihuang down to settle down, returned to his seat, groaned for a while, and said to everyone: "The treatment of displaced people in Suozao County must not be an exception, and there must be similar situations in other states and counties. Commander Tao, you transfer the sharp soldiers of the military intelligence department, be sure to investigate this matter in detail, and classify the nearby states and counties according to the different methods of dealing with the displaced people! With Sujube County as a basis, this matter must not be difficult, how much time will you need? ”

"The states and counties have already arranged manpower, and the general situation is understood, and it is easy to classify the states and counties, but it takes more energy to collect enough evidence and monitor and control the relevant people!" Tao said.

"How many days will it take, according to you, to reach your goal?" Li Congjing asked.

"Five days." Tao Xiaoyao said without the slightest hesitation.

Li Congjing didn't answer first, and asked Mo Li: "When will the rear team drive to the sour date?" ”

"It will take four days." Mo Li replied.

"Okay, I'll give you five days!" Li Congjing looked at Tao Xiaoyao and agreed to the time limit she requested. He also said: "The displaced people who have been dispersed by the counties must always need a place to settle, and these state and county officials will not let them appear in our field of vision, and it is very likely that they will be guided to live and control in certain places. The displaced people lack food and clothing, not to mention that the cold winter is approaching, it is difficult to survive, I am afraid that they will starve to death before the heavy snowfall, this matter can not wait any longer, we must quickly find out the whereabouts of the displaced people. Wang Pu, I'll leave it to you at this time! ”

"Park Lingling!" Wang Pu stood up and saluted.

Li Congjing continued: "In order to help the prefectures and counties resettle the displaced people, the imperial court has allocated special funds, and these state and county officials are corrupt and pervert the law, so naturally they have also embezzled the imperial court's money, and this matter should also be investigated first. From the whereabouts of the earmarked funds, we can see who is in charge of the strategy to deal with the displaced people, so that it is convenient for us to deal with it. If it's a county official, it's fine, but if it's a state official, a festival envoy" Li Congjing snorted coldly and didn't say anything more on this issue.

"What should the temple do?" Mo Li asked at this time.

There is no need to pay taxes on the cultivated fields under the name of the monastery, so many local powerful and powerful officials will hang their own fields under the name of the monastery and collude with each other to share the results. It is not difficult to imagine that over the years, the monastery has naturally owned more and more fields, and the wealth of the monastery has also become more and more accumulated. However, the monks of the monasteries do not produce, but the fields of the monasteries also need to be cultivated, so the monasteries are involved in the sale and plundering of people.

Whenever there are troubled times or when the government is unclear, some monastic forces rely on their status to take advantage of the opportunity to develop, and they are more ruthless than the ordinary rich, which must not be underestimated.

However, the pure place of Buddhism is inevitably supported by the people who do not know the details, and in addition, the Buddhist monks have always had close contacts with Shilin, if this simple and rough treatment, I am afraid that it will not be good for the reputation of the Qin Palace.

"As long as the evidence is conclusive, it will be investigated!" Li Congjing showed no mercy, "Before you do it, make your crimes public!" ”

"No!"

After saying these things, Li Congjing finally asked, "Where did the Hundred Battles Army go?" ”

Before Li Congjing left Luoyang, Li Siyuan secretly gave him the transfer of troops and tiger talismans, because Li Congjing could transfer a hundred battle troops out of Huaimeng. It's just that this operation has its concealment, and the Hundred Battles Army is walking day and night, and its whereabouts are not known, so as not to startle the snake.
