Chapter 205: [Re-education Through Labor]
……
The old man who spoke was Zhang Wei.
Enough to have no discipline.
Now that Ao Wu is an official, he says that he is his student.
I think at the beginning, he said that he would drive himself out.
But Ao Wu doesn't bother with an old man.
He wanted to fish for this reputation, so Ao Wu let him fish it to protect his old age.
Zhang Wei spoke up, and the group of scholars all congratulated Ao Wu with some curtle.
Zhang Wei pointed to Zhang County's order and said: "Your son is doing evil, you usually don't care, now Ao Wu punishes him for eliminating harm for the people, and it is also right!" ”
"Elder Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding, I can let my son marry that girl into the door!" Zhang Xianling shouted.
The people felt that although this was a helpless move, the girl was ruined by him, and it would be troublesome to marry someone in the future, and it was not bad to marry the county commander's family.
Ao Wu sneered and said, "It's not enough to be insulted by him once, you want the victim to be insulted for the rest of your life?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were originally shaken suddenly felt that Zhang Xianling was an accomplice.
Zhang Xianling was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
"Are you really going to die for me?" Zhang Xianling paused for a while, and then asked in a cold voice.
Not to mention the protection of officials and officials, you will not be so pressing!
Ao Wu: "Whether you die or not, it depends on how heavy the things he committed." ”
"Good. Good! "Zhang Xianling gritted his teeth, I will wait for you at Tongshou!"
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and walked outside.
It seems that he is going to go to his superiors to complain.
Zhang Moumou watched his father leave, crying and shouting, and with a wave of Ao Wu's hand, he was escorted down.
The people cheered again, cheering for the good county order.
Ao Wu waved his hand to let the people go back, then hugged his fist to Zhang Yu, and turned to go in.
He doesn't show his back, but the old man and the old lady are very grateful to him. Hurried over. Thank him.
With the face given by the second elder, Zhang Wei also felt that there was light on his face.
After talking for a long time, he said goodbye and left.
In the next few days, there were a lot of people who went to the county government to complain.
More than a dozen people came to sue Zhang County's son. Almost all of them were bullied by this playboy for their daughters.
Indecent to so many women. It should be cut off.
But. In the laws of the Sui Dynasty, there were not many felonies that could be beheaded and killed. This crime of rape is also not within the scope of beheading.
Therefore, Ao Wu had to be convicted and sentenced separately.
Other cases. Ao Wu saw the authenticity at a glance, and it was quickly broken.
The impartiality not only won the gratitude of the victim, but also won the favor of the defendant.
In a few days, the two or three years of cases that were suppressed by Zhang County's order were dealt with.
His good performance made some of the defendants who had done something wrong admit their mistakes when they first arrived at the county office, before the victims could speak out.
After the civil dispute is settled, it is time to deal with the affairs in the county office.
Since the dismissal of Lao Wang's officials, the officials in the county government have been a little frightened.
The county magistrate has direct power to expel and recruit the county government.
I don't know if Ao Wu, the new official, will continue to open on their heads.
But for a few days, Ao Wu didn't move these officials again.
A few days later, Ao Wu also felt that it was time to talk to them.
He said to the officials: "I don't ask much, don't be arrogant, don't oppress the people. Follow me, keep a lot of benefits. ”
The officials looked at each other, and finally said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for the county order, there are not many benefits, we don't dare to think about it, as long as we don't fire us." But we don't oppress the people, how can we levy strong men, if we levy taxes? ”
If the officials were not ruthless, the cunning people would not pay taxes and would not let their sons serve.
If you can't collect taxes and collect people, the officials won't complete their tasks, and it's difficult to explain to the higher-ups.
"When Zhang Xianling was here, although he made great efforts to grasp these two things, he still owed a lot of shortcomings in the past six months, and now as soon as Zhang Xianling left, this lack fell on the head of the county order. If you relax any more, you'll be to blame! Another veteran said worriedly.
The officials said in agreement.
The old official then said: "Although you are right to make the people welcome you and say that you will not let the people starve to death. But if we want to pay taxes in the future, they will use this sentence to embarrass us, and we will not pay taxes if we have rice at home. The people are calculating, stingy, and very ghostly! ”
Ao Wu looked at them and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
The officials thought that Ao Wu was enlightened, their faces were happy, and they said: "For the people, you should be ruthless, arrest people if you don't pay taxes, arrest people if you don't serve, don't relax because they cry and make trouble!" ”
"Well, you're right. But I'm not going to do that. Ao Wu rejected them.
The faces of the officials changed.
"Of course, I won't blame you, as long as you do what I say, I won't fire you." Ao Wu told them not to worry.
"In the past year, has there been anyone in Liangfu County who has died because of paying taxes and levying labor? How many people died? Ao Wu asked.
The officials looked at each other, thinking that Ao Wu was asking them to open the knife, and what they said earlier was just a counter-talk.
Ao Wu emphasized: "I do what I say, but you just obeyed orders before. It's not your responsibility, just do what you need to do later. ”
At this time, the old official was bold and said, "Seven of them fell to their deaths while catching the strong men. Twenty-one starved to death. ”
"Well, the first thing I want to do is not to let the strong man fall to his death when I catch him." Ao Wu looked at them, "Don't chase people in person in the future, from today onwards, set up a conscription office at the entrance of the county ya." Have someone sign up in person. ”
Everyone's mouths were wide open. They went to arrest the strong men, and the strong men would rather be thrown to death than come to serve. They didn't catch enough people in person, they didn't go out and sat directly at the door, where would anyone come to the door!
"Isn't there a shortage of people for conscription? This is a prisoner who has committed a crime. It can also be punished. Send to the front. Ao Wu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhang Xianling's son, he has committed such a big public anger. It should be sent to service, this is re-education through labor. Well, that's it. By the way, what about my deputy? ”
The officials were stunned by Ao Wu's decision.
I didn't expect to be so ruthless, and sent Zhang Xianling's son to serve.
They secretly sweated and decided to listen to the county order in the future, otherwise if the county order played yin on themselves, it would be impossible to live.
And the deputy mentioned later is the meaning of the main thin.
The old official said: "The county order, the main book was brought by Zhang County Commander himself. Your master needs to be recruited by yourself. ”
Ao Wu nodded, it seems that he needs his own team.
"Well, good. This second thing is...... Well, actually, the second thing should be done before the first thing. You go to the city and the villages, and tell everyone that the taxes are paid as usual, and you can pay as much as you need, and the royal law cannot be ignored. The rice at home is handed over until there is no rice. In addition, you tell the people that the county order will do what I say, and will not let the people under my rule starve to death. ”
Once again, the officials froze.
If you don't have rice, you can go to the county order to come here to get it, so who is afraid of paying taxes?
Moreover, many people now have food saved and cannot eat until the end of the year, and have been fighting with officials to the end in order to keep food.
But with Ao Wu's sentence, everything you eat is looking for the county order, so why do you want to keep the food that can't be eaten at the end of the year?
"County order, isn't this a joke?" The old official said cautiously.
Ao Wu nodded, no joke: "Do as I say." ”
The officials were stunned, so they had to go out and do it.
Soon, the people of Liangfu County knew about the new county policy.
They all kept doubts about this, could it be that the county order deceived the people into paying taxes, and in the future, as long as the taxes were paid, then the county orders had taxes paid, and the people really wanted to ask him for food, but there was no food to distribute to the people.
So, the people are not stupid.
However, there are also special circumstances, that is, families who have run out of food at home and are dying of hunger, when they hear the news, they immediately revive themselves and immediately go to the county government to ask for food.
Ao Wu asked the officials to give them a few corn and potatoes each, so that the other onlookers could keep their eyes on them.
Ao Wu had already been to Mount Tai once at night and had taken a lot of corn and potatoes.
At this time, Mount Tai, ** villages are widely planted corn and potatoes, at this time there have been two seasons of ripe, not only can meet their own food and clothing, but also save a lot.
These grain stocks are more than clumsy to cope with the situation in Liangfu County.
And as the third season matures, more corn and potatoes will come out. Of course, as the people of Liangfu County also planted corn and potatoes, they were able to feed themselves.
In addition to taking a ring of potatoes with the space ring, Ao Wu also asked Lao Wang to take people to transport more than a dozen truckloads of corn and potatoes down the mountain.
Only when the people see these dozen carts of corn and potatoes will they know Ao Wu's strength and follow Ao Wu's rhythm with confidence.
When Ao Wu arranged all this in an orderly manner, Zhang Xianling had already gone to Lu County Tongshou to complain.
Zhang County Commander is an obedient county magistrate, and as soon as the superior said to give up his seat to the newcomer, he immediately gave way.
Such an obedient subordinate, the superior should protect it, not to mention the reward, but he can't let a new county order and a new official take office three times to burn on his head.
Therefore, Tongshou should give a head to Zhang County's order to save his son.
But it was difficult to keep it.
Because this new county order is not simple, it was taken by the queen mother herself, or the queen mother personally ordered this county order.
The backstage is hard, he wants to take the county order of Zhang, can he object?
If you oppose it, that's against the queen?
Moreover, Tong Shou is a member of the Xiao family, and the queen mother is from the Xiao family, and she is the top person of the Xiao family, what can he do against him?
That's looking for death.
Of course, Ao Wu is also a member of the Xiao family.
The direct line of the Xiao family is comparable to Zhang Xianling, an outsider?
