"We have made an agreement with our ministries that we will stop the war and let them return, and we cannot fail to keep the agreement. This is only the first call-up, and of course there will be a second, third, and even more later! We can't make the leaders of the ministries disgruntled because of this dishonesty. More importantly, we cannot allow these people to use these pretexts to agitate the tribes. Situ Liang said in a deep voice.

Speaking of the leaders of the various departments, Zhao Xun remembered that he had promised the king of Liaodong to be crowned. Originally, Zhao Xun wanted to take advantage of the surrender of the northern Zhuhu to ask the imperial court for an edict to entitle the Liaodong Kingdom and the general of the Murwei Zhonglang under his seal. But now that he has been stripped of his position by the imperial court, he has become a traitor who was shouted and beaten by the Ming edict, and this matter of conferring the title naturally cannot be successful.

Zhao inquired: "Let the surviving more than 10,000 soldiers return to their respective departments, and the rewards that should be distributed will be distributed." In addition, tell them that if they are willing to continue to serve our Xiaoguo army, let them leave the tribe and go to participate in the Eight Banners of the Spirit. ”

After the March battle, these soldiers also knew the military regulations of the Xiaoguo Army, and also knew the treatment of the Xiaoguo soldiers, and many people had asked the officers of the Xiaoguo Army if they could let them stay in the Xiaoguo Army. These soldiers come from three departments, except for the soldiers of Liaodong Kingdom, which are considered to be the national standing army, the rest are for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, and they are not very good. Now that the Xiaoguo Army is treated so well, they have the idea of staying in the Xiaoguo Army.

Among the regular army of his own Xiaoguo Army, he can absorb a small number of foreigners, but he will never inhale them in large quantities. These surviving soldiers are indeed good soldiers, and it is a little inappropriate to leave them to the ministries, so Li Huaiyuan once gave Zhao Xunjian a yì and asked him to persuade these soldiers to join the Eight Banners of the Yan Dynasty.

The Eight Banners of the Yan Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Khitan are all foreign armies, but they are in the hands of Zhao Xun. In addition to abiding by the military rules set by the Xiaoguo Army, it is basically disconnected from the original tribe. What satisfies Zhao Xun the most is that these soldiers are basically stationed in various ministries or at the borders of various ministries. The supplies of materials consumed by it are provided by the Xiaoguo Army, but the daily necessities are provided by the ministries. Why not use other people's food to feed your own soldiers in this way?

"Okay guys, Jizhou has won, but it doesn't mean it's okay, this Jizhou is bordered by Qingzhou in the east, and the state in the west, and Yongzhou and Yanzhou in the south. Except for Qingzhou, they are all enemies of our army, so we must not be careless. The implementation of the new policy in various prefectures and counties by our Xiaoguo army is bound to make many people dissatisfied. But this is about the people of the world, and it must be done, and no one can resist it. ”

"We must not only strictly guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, but also strictly guard against internal and external collusion. If anyone is found to have bad intentions, they will be taken down. ”

"Military Envoy Li Huaiyuan, you stay in the south of Jizhou and be in charge of Jizhou military affairs. The left-behind army in Jizhou is the second and tenth provinces, and you have the right to deal with the war randomly. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Subordinates take orders!"

…………

Zhao Xun returned to Youzhou City, and the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xiaoguo Army also began to recover. In the entire Jizhou, because of the absorption of the Xiaoguo Army, many displaced people from other places have poured in, and the Xiaoguo Army has accepted them one by one.

With the entry of a large number of displaced people, the official roads and city walls of various prefectures and counties began to be built. The number of people who reclaimed the wasteland also increased, because the wasteland was privately owned, and was not counted in the quota distributed by the government. Of course, the Xiaoguo Army also made a quota for the number of reclamations, and one household should not exceed 100 acres.

In addition to the large-scale construction in various prefectures and counties, a large number of displaced people were also slowly relocated to the five prefectures of Beiding. If you move a large number of people on a large scale, you will naturally be troublesome to yourself. But what if there are several at once, dozens?

The Xiaoguo army has a new task for the merchants, going north to the caravan, and each time it needs to carry several families to the north. According to the size of the caravan, you can choose freely, whether it is one household or ten households, as long as you have it, you can do it. This is to be assessed, and when you arrive in Youzhou, you will naturally be assessed by officials from the Department of Taxation and the Department of Household Registration.

Yugong moves mountains, although it is not much once, but what about ten or a hundred times? There are not many caravans, but ten, hundred? No one dares to underestimate the power that has accumulated this little bit. For the caravan, it is just an increase of a dozen or dozens of people, which is nothing. After the unification of the commercial tax, the merchants earned a lot. It is better to do this and hear the gratitude of others every day than to be blackmailed by officials for no reason.

At this stage, in terms of topography, Jizhou is indeed better than Youzhou. Jizhou is located in the Central Plains, not like Youzhou, and the temperature is cold. In addition, Jizhou is well-connected and densely populated. In addition, because Youzhou is located on the border of Zhuhu in the north, it used to fight for many years, and the people naturally did not want to settle here. The climate of Jizhou is much better than that of Youzhou, located in the plain, and there are many fertile fields. If it is managed well, Jizhou will surpass Youzhou.

Therefore, all levels of Jizhou have launched the governance of various prefectures and counties. Dividing the fields and unifying the commercial tax are all policies that Xiaoguo Army has always been and has never changed. In addition, water conservancy projects in various places have also begun to be built gradually. Various tools such as waterwheels and dump buckets are also being promoted in various places.

After the war is over, the natural emphasis is on governance and development. But from the situation reported by the Shadow Division, the Eagle Eye Division, and the Supervision Division, Zhao Xun couldn't help frowning. Because of the lack of civilian officials under the Xiaoguo army, many officials appointed by the imperial court in the past and some low-level officials were directly promoted. But these officials have a lot of problems. Whether there is a ability or not, let's not talk about it for the time being, but the speed of corruption is really beyond Zhao Xun's expectations.

Zhao Xun didn't dare to expect everyone to be a saint, but he couldn't just care about personal gain, but the overall situation. Many businessmen and wealthy people bribed these new officials. Under the onslaught of various sugar-coated shells, they lost themselves. Think about it, in the past, people were subordinate, and overnight, they became people, how can they not be carried away?

Zhao Xun was very annoyed, the Xiaoguo Army officials' fortunes were already a lot of money, but these people seemed to be greedy.

In ancient times, the political power groups that could have an impact on the country or a force were: scholars, eunuchs, concubines, relatives, clansmen, and military ministers. Now that Zhao Xun has accepted it, there are no eunuchs, and his women and relatives can only serve as officials under his strict control. In other words, a relative of a family must either be a civil official or a military attaché, but even so, it is not possible for more than two people to be in a high position. As for the clan, he only has a few righteous brothers, and he is even more strict with himself.

In the vast history, from the perspective of the group, the role of the scholar group in history is overwhelmingly positive, while the role of eunuchs, concubines, relatives, clansmen, and military ministers is overwhelmingly negative.

The reason for this is that the scholar class is an elite figure selected from the bottom through due process, whether it is su zhì or integrity, morality is still relatively strong, and eunuchs, concubines, relatives, and clans all rely on nepotism to get on the stage of history, although there are also outstanding talents among them, but on the whole, su zhì is low, morally corrupt, and has no integrity at all, and at the same time they rely on the emperor's support, so they often do evil and do no evil. Among them, especially the eunuchs, who are physically disabled and psychologically dark, so the eunuch dictatorship is often the darkest era. And because the military ministers are in control of the army, it is easy to form a situation where the tail is too big to fall, and the town is divided.

But now, before other problems have arisen, something has gone wrong with the so-called scholarly class.

Now it is these officials who can bring the most influence to themselves, that is, the so-called scholar class. I thought that these scholars could be sensible and know the severity. It seems that he underestimated the morality of some people.

"You are all directors of various departments, what do you think about what the Supervision Department said?" Zhao Xun gathered the heads of the various departments and asked the supervision envoy of the Supervision Department to explain the recent situation in detail.

"Back to the lord, this is all the negligence of my administrative secretary, and my subordinates are willing to accept the guilt!" Government envoys Lu Ziliang and Yang Wangzhen said in unison.

Zhao Xun frowned and said, "Whether you are guilty or not, don't care for the time being." After all, the major recent events have focused on the military. You say, "What should we do now?" ”

"Severely punished, must be severely punished! This situation can only be punished severely. Otherwise, sooner or later, my Xiaoguo army will let them be ruined. The inspector Gao Tu said in a deep voice.

Yu Jing, the director of the former Department of Knowledge and later renamed the Department of Education, frowned and said: "Actually, it can't be all about these officials, it's just that my Xiaoguo Army is too lacking in officials, so they suddenly ascended to a high position and took power, and they got carried away for a while." ”

Xu Yiling, the counselor, also nodded and said, "Director Yu is reasonable, and his subordinates also think that this is also one of the key factors. But whatever the reason, a mistake is a mistake and must be punished. It should not be disturbed by a large number of external factors or external factors. ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Check, investigate!" At the same time, the Supervision Department accepts reports from the people and asks the people to cooperate with the inspections. In addition, starting today, the Inspectorate will accept anonymous reports from the public. Allow people everywhere to anonymously report local officials without having to sign their real names. ”

"In addition, the evaluation of officials of the Supervision Department will be based on the number of criminal officials under investigation and the level of their positions. For those officials who are in the Supervision Department but have no merit for a year, they will never be used! The Inspectorate should be like the Inspectorate. What I need is an iron-faced and selfless Inspectorate, not an Inspectorate who only has a name and does not do real things. Director Gao, Director Su, do you understand? ”

Gao Tu and Su Yun said in unison: "My subordinates understand! ”

"It's good to understand, I don't want people from the Inspectorate to hook up with other people. Once you supervise the people of the department, except for the problem, you will never use it. Zhao Xun said coldly.

Gao Tu and Su Yun both had sweat on their foreheads, they never realized that Zhao Xun at this moment had brought them so much pressure. The problem mentioned by Zhao Xun naturally refers to the collusion of certain officials of the Supervision Department with those who are under inspection to disclose information for them, or even exempt them from punishment.

"This is the official who has problems within your supervision department, and fifteen of them are dealt with according to the law. The rest will be dismissed from office and will never be used. Zhao Xun handed Gao Tu a list of directories at hand and said coldly.

Gao Tu took the list handed by Zhao Xun, looked at it or not, and put it in his arms. He said in a deep voice: "My subordinates understand! ”

"It's good to understand, the officials of the Supervision Department have the Pontus Governor to support you, so don't have anything to fear. In addition, the Hawkeye Division and the Shadow Division will be your back. But keep in mind that it is okay to inspect officials, but to convict officials, there must be evidence, not rash. Zhao Xun explained again.

In addition, a post of counselor will be established in each prefecture to inspect the prefectures and districts, and after inspecting the situation in each prefecture, he will be able to report to the governor of the city. It can report the people's livelihood situation in various places, and can also report to the local government's table, or the daily actions of officials. Zhao Xun continued.

Whatever you do, let's hang a few knives on the heads of the officials first. Let them know that their every move is under the watchful eye of others. If you want to be greedy for favoritism, you also have to consider whether you can afford the price.
