Some of the old ministers and powerful ministers of the Xudu court, except for a very small number of old ministers of the old dynasty, who are innocent, the rest are all some flies and dogs, corrupt and corrupt people.

What's more, a large number of court officials, they simply have no ink, occupy official positions in the court, but what they do is to do things that are specialized in profit, and they have never done their part for the court at all.

However, it can also be said that these courtiers of Cao Cao's court are basically an ornament, and they don't have much power in the first place, but they are just kept to block the mouth of the world and make this pseudo-court appear more orthodox.

At this point, Liu Yi also understood that in fact, the real power of this court was actually Prime Minister Cao Cheng's Prime Minister's Mansion, and the large and small political affairs in the court were completely handled by Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion, and all policies were promulgated and implemented by Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the arraignment was clear, Liu Yi couldn't help but be a little speechless, and felt a little sad for these courtiers. Angry and indisputable, mourning and silent, he was a courtier of the Han court in vain.

This part of the courtiers, they eat the king's money, but they don't have the behavior of the king's worries, not only that, but they have always used the name of that little bit of power to make personal gains for themselves, make personal gains, stretch out their hands to the people, and do all kinds of evil things.

For example, one of the nephews of Zhang Wen, the first lieutenant. This Zhang Wen is not Zhang Wen, the prince of Wu in history, but the Zhang Wen of the Dahao clan in the Jingxiang region, that is, the father of Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Yang Ji, the water pirate leader Yang Yi who killed when Liu Yi seized Dongting Lake. This Zhang family also made an enmity with Liu Yi because of this, and hated Liu Yi. once gave Liu Yi a lot of stumbling blocks. However, they have always been difficult to cause too much trouble for Lew. Arguably. After Zhang Wen's death, the Zhang family basically declined. The name of Jingxiang's No. 1 family has long been sidelined, and the Zhang family has been in decline for many years.

However, after all, Zhang Wen was a lieutenant of the imperial court, and in the court of the previous dynasties, he could be regarded as having a certain prestige and some intertwined networks. Therefore, even if he is no longer a lieutenant of the imperial court, but with some connections. One of his sons and nephews of the Zhang family can still be an official in the court, and with Zhang Wen's prestige, he occupies the official position of a court official. Because of this, whether it was Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao, they didn't move them when they saw that they had no talent and no virtue, but they could be regarded as "keeping their own peace". Let them still retain their nominal position in the court.

Zhang Wen's nephew is named Zhang Zhi. Whether he was to Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao, he was quite deferential, and he never complained or expressed dissatisfaction because of how they treated the emperor. Opposite. Whether it is Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao, he is all putting on a show to speak for them. Only they obey their faces. Then, by seeming to be able to gain the approval of Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao. When facing others, he is powerful. Over the years, I don't know how much money I have embezzled. Of course, they didn't dare to compete with Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao for profit, but started with some ordinary people, and increased some taxes to the people through a little power in name only.

Anyway, Zhang Zhi is a maggot in the imperial court, without any contribution, but he is very rich.

There are really a lot of people like this, and this kind of person is the person who Liu Yi took them under the knife.

Therefore, Liu Yi was not polite to them. After arraignment and interrogation, and after collecting evidence of their adultery and criminals over the years, they directly announced their crimes over the years to the general public. Then they were raided by maggots in the court, and beheaded those who were not as forgivable as their sins.

Of course, in the laws of the New Han Dynasty, the cruel decree of one person committing a crime and beheading the whole family has been basically abolished. Unless his family has committed a major crime such as treason against the Han and the country, ordinary crimes will be screened to a certain extent, and after layers of judgment, different sentences will be pronounced on the members of his family.

For example, as an official of the DPRK and China, not only did he not share the worries of the court and did not speak for the emperor, but he also used his name to deceive his superiors and subordinates to obtain personal gains. The benefits obtained, to a certain extent, are the death penalty.

In addition to the direct officials, their entourage of officials, participating in the exploitation of the people, and the circumstances of the behavior are more serious, are also capital crimes, and they will be beheaded together. And then their families. The parents of the officials knew that their children were disloyal and unkind, and did not dissuade them, but participated in the evil deeds, which is also a capital crime. And his contemporaries, in addition to being able to prove their innocence, are also guilty of the same crime. The women of his family were taken into slavery or relegated to the official building (i.e., the green building). Of course, this will also be interrogated, if it can be confirmed, these women have done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and some people who have benefited from the promotion, they can be exonerated from their crimes. This refers to the woman who is the direct line of the criminal officer.

As for the servants who were originally in the family of their criminal officials, it is only necessary to find out that they (they) are not accomplices of their criminal officials, then they will be free, and like ordinary people, they will be able to receive relief assistance from the government of the New Han Dynasty and settle them in their future lives. In the same way, the same is true of those family soldiers, if the accomplice is serious, it is naturally beheaded, not too serious, exiled to the army, or for hard labor, if he has not committed evil deeds, he can be freed.

Liu Yi confiscated the homes of dozens of officials of the old dynasty in Xudu, and the wealth of money and grain obtained was incalculable.

It can be said that for a time, there was a lot of noise in the city of Xudu, and everyone was in danger. Of course, the so-called self-endangerment of everyone is only a person who has been an official in the court, or who has a relationship with those court officials who have been convicted of capital crimes. Ordinary people applauded.

Regardless of how the New Han Dynasty will govern those people in the future, but now that so many officials of the old dynasty have been taken down, this makes the people who are usually exploited by these officials extremely happy. This is tantamount to moving directly to the mountain that has been pressing on their heads. There are a lot of people, they were bullied and humiliated by those court officials, and they have long hated to kill them to relieve the hatred in their hearts, and now as soon as the new Han army occupies Xudu, they will take these old court officials who make them feel desperate, and all of a sudden, they will win the hearts of the people of Xudu City, and win the support of most of the people.

The New Han Dynasty occupied a city and a land, and every time it was governed, it would uphold some basic principles laid down by Liu Yi in the New Han Dynasty. That's what happens to every place that has been reclaimed. All of them have an attitude of not breaking or standing, and carry out a relatively thorough rectification. In order to achieve once and for all. At least, for a while. Under the governance of the New Han Dynasty, the politics were clear, and there would not be too many traitors.

Verification of facts can also be said to be the truth through practice. Until now, Liu Yi felt that it was indeed more conducive to the governance and control of the local government by the New Han Dynasty by adopting this more thorough way to start governing the recovered areas.

Take such a capital city in Xudu City that can almost be compared to the capital city of Meiluoyang. Without a strict renovation of the city, it is believed that it will be difficult to carry out faster and effective governance of this city with a population of more than 10 to 2 million. Especially. Its place has always been under Cao Cao's rule, and if he does not break the original rules and reformulate a new order, it will be difficult to control such a large city in the future.

Therefore, Liu Yi first killed a group of top-level officials of the old dynasty, so that all the people in this city had a cordial feeling of seeing the sun. Then take a multi-pronged approach to control politics, people's will, and so on.

It's not just these officials of the old dynasty, but also some famous families in the local area. No more, no less, will be affected to a certain extent.

After the re-establishment of the government of the New Han Dynasty in the city of Xudu, an enlightened approach to governance would be adopted for a longer period of time.

That is, on the one hand. All the people in Xudu City were re-registered with the population register, and the identity and origin of each person were clarified. Meantime. Verify and count all the houses, real estate, and property owned by each household in Xudu City. Also, outside the city of Xudu. The population, real estate, land, mountains and forests in an area of tens or hundreds of miles are verified and registered.

Once you have the data, you can base it on the actual situation. Develop a standard.

For example, the ordinary people of Xudu City, they already have their own land and property, and after the statistics of the land, they feel that what they have, and the origin of their property, etc., are relatively normal. This part, no matter how much their land and property is, is clearly stipulated by the government, and belongs to their land and wealth, and the government only registers it, and does not occupy half of it. And some famous families, merchants, officials, etc., they have too much land and property, but they cannot prove the origin of the land and property they have obtained, or some people have reported that they have obtained it through some illegal means. Then the government of the New Han Dynasty had the right to nationalize them, leaving only what they deserved, but if some of them were reported and confirmed to have committed evil deeds. In the worst case, it will be disposed of like the previous court officials, and in the worst case, its family property will be confiscated and nationalized.

Like the Xun family of Xuchang, its family has a big business and many people. Even though it is very famous in the local area, it also has a good beer among the people. Even, the children of his family, Xun Shuang, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xun Chen, etc., are already high-ranking officials of the court of the New Han Dynasty. However, there are also a few lawless children in his family who obtain illegal benefits through some tricks and plunder. Liu Yi also did not give face to his family, brought the children of his Xun family to justice, and confiscated a lot of the Xun family's property. However, to Liu Yi's gratification, the Xun family did not resent Liu Yi because of this, but took the initiative to donate a large part of his family's land and wealth to be state-owned.

The Xun family's approach was wise, and they also helped Liu Yi a lot. With the example of the Xun family, those clans in the city of Xudu had to obey the new laws and regulations of the New Han Dynasty. Cooperate with the governance plan of the government of the New Han Dynasty.

Then, those people who have no land, no wealth, and no property will be settled by the government, and the affairs that will guide their future life and production will be assigned. These are all out of the question, and the officials of the New Han Dynasty government are basically familiar with these governance processes, and they are already familiar with them.

The governance of the New Han Dynasty gave the city of Xu a new look.

If it is said that under Cao Cao's Hanli, the people of Xu Ducheng are naturally better than in the previous period of chaos and war, and can barely survive. Then the governance of the new Han Dynasty now is equivalent to directly letting all the people see a better future that can be touched. It makes the majority of people have a better expectation for the future life.

After all, under the governance of the New Han Dynasty, there are indeed things that can be seen and felt. At the very least, they no longer have to be oppressed and exploited by the government and wealthy families. At least they all have their own fields, and as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to harvest more. Moreover, they no longer have to worry about social unrest, they do not have to worry about social instability. With the government of the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army, the places where they live have been wiped out, and there is no room for bandits and robbers at all, and if they do not surrender to the New Han Dynasty and admit their crimes, they will all have only a dead end. Even, even the local hooligans, local bullies, homeless lazy people, etc., have disappeared.

The government of the New Han Dynasty also has a severe crackdown on such people. There is simply no room for these outlaws to survive.

A hooligan ruffian still dares to play hooligan? Once the patrolling soldiers of the New Han Army encountered them, they would immediately beat them up and then arrest them for hard labor. Local bullies? If they dare to bully men and women, they may be directly beheaded for public display, not to mention, if there are people who report and identify them, regardless of whether they still do evil or not, they will also be arrested and examined, and if they have committed unforgivable crimes, depending on whether they have repented, they will either be beheaded or used for hard labor. Let's ask, if this is the case, who would dare to do evil again?

Wandering slackers? Under the rule of the New Han Dynasty, no one dared not to work, and after registering the population, the government would allocate them fields and tools according to the situation, and if they did not work with their own hands to support themselves, then they would also be arrested for hard labor.

All of them do seem to be harsh, and some people may even feel a little harsh. However, now that the Han Dynasty has just been unified, after the reunification, it is inevitable that it will be governed by a great rule, and in the early days of the great rule, it is inevitable that heavy canons will be used, so that it can deter Xiaoxiao.

At present, even in areas governed by the New Han Dynasty for more than ten years, some relatively strict laws and regulations are still enforced to restrain some people who do not have the perseverance to persist in hard work.

Nowadays, it can be said that the entire Han Dynasty is in such a situation, and in every place, the government will carefully guide and use relatively strict laws and regulations to govern the people. A multi-pronged approach is taken to achieve the goal of rapid development of the entire Dahan.

Xudu City is a big city, and it is still the main city governed by Cao Cao, so Liu Yicai felt the need to personally sit in charge and deal with some difficult matters. In most other areas, Liu Yi can't deal with them one by one, and all the officials below are governed according to the law.

It is an inevitable process to use heavy canons in the great governance, and to develop an appropriate amount of revision of the law according to the national conditions according to the situation after the rule. (To be continued.) )
