The guests and hosts sat down, and the county officials were worried, and their hearts did not belong. They visited the barracks and saw the combat effectiveness of the army under Wang Yan's command, and each of them had a judgment result. In the case of the elite soldiers under Wang Yan's command, if Wang Yan sent troops to attack any county, it would be difficult for each county to resist.
At this moment, what officials are concerned about is Wang Yan's next policy and strategy. If Wang Yan is soft and does not interfere in the internal affairs of the counties, it is a good choice. Once Wang Yan wants to dismiss some officials, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wang Yan sat on the top with a calm expression, and said, "From last night to today, what happened has nothing to do with the purpose of Zhugong coming to Huang County. The princes came to Huang County, mainly to report on their work, and now they are back to the truth and explain their respective situations. β
When the words fell, the hall was quiet, and no one took the lead to speak.
No one knew what Wang Yan was thinking, and they didn't dare to make a bird.
Wang Yan looked around at everyone and said again: "None of them dare to speak, do you want this official to come and have some generals?" β
"My lord, the lower officials will come first."
Sun Yi suddenly got up and strode to the center of the hall.
When the county officials saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief. They will not admire Sun Yi for being the first to stand up, nor will they thank Sun Yi for breaking the siege, they will only think that after Sun Yi goes up, they can use this to assess Wang Yan's grasp of the debriefing, so that they can know how to report.
Sun Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Hui, Changyang County is located in the east of Donglai County, with a population of 60,000 households, 500,000 stone of grain storage, and 8,000 soldiers. That's the rough picture. β
After hearing this, Wang Yan asked, "How are the finances?" β
Sun Yi had a confident look on his face and replied: "Changyang County is near the sea, rich in products, and very rich in finance, and the money in Changyang County has long been piled up in the treasury. β
Wang Yan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "These grains and money used to be Chang Xiong's private property. β
Sun Yi chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "The adults are wise, Chang Xiong is rich and unkind, and exploits the people, so he has saved a lot of money and food. After the lower officials returned to Changyang County, they began to deal with the grain and money, and after leaving enough food and money for the operation of Changyang County, all the excess food and money were handed over and arranged by Lord Taishou. β
Sun Yi had already been completely convinced, and he didn't dare to have the slightest thought.
Moreover, he stabbed Chang Kun to death with a sword, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was the one who killed Chang Kun. Even, he was the one who caused Chang Xiong to be killed, he had been tied up in Wang Yan's sequence, and he could only hug Wang Yan's thigh.
In addition, Sun Yi did not think about it.
Wang Yan chuckled twice, waved his hand and said, "After you return to Changyang County, except for making up for the taxes that should be paid to Donglai County, the rest of the grain and money will be left. If the county government is so rich, then you will reduce the taxes of the people. It is useless to keep more money in the treasury, take it from the people, you must use it for the people, you are in charge of Changyang County, you must dig more ditches and build roads, and benefit the people more. For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party, this official hopes that you can do it. When you are promoted and leave Changyang County, the people are willing to send each other off, which is the satisfaction of the officials. β
When Sun Yi heard this, his heart suddenly became excited.
According to Wang Yan's meaning, if he does well in Changyang County, there is still room for promotion.
For a while, Sun Yi's heart was full of motivation, and he couldn't wait to return immediately, and then take root in Changyang County and make some political achievements. He understands now that Wang Yan is really doing things, and he will definitely be rewarded for his efforts to do things well.
Sun Yi said convincingly: "Your Excellency is wise, and you will definitely do it when the lower officials return." After a pause, Sun Yi said: "That's all the officials report, do you need to report anything else?" β
"That's enough, take a seat!"
Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and Sun Yi retreated to his seat.
Seeing this, the officials of the other counties breathed a sigh of relief one by one and relaxed in their hearts.
It seems that it is not very difficult.
The county commander of Qianqian County got up and walked to the hall, and arched his hand: "Lord Taishou, the next official is Yang Yi, the commander of Qianqian County." β
Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Yang County Order, please speak!" β
Yang Yi's expression was grim, and he said slowly: "Qianqian County is located at the southern end of Donglai County, close to Xuzhou, and also east of the sea. Compared with Changyang County, Qianqian County is more difficult. Qianqian County is short of food and money. The strength of Qianqian County is only 6,000, and many of these 6,000 people are old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. At present, Qianqian County is full of difficulties. β
Wang Yan bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, take a seat." β
didn't hear the slightest comment from Wang Yan, especially Wang Yan's salty and non-salty tone, Yang Yi chuckled in his heart.
Could it be that Wang Yan is dissatisfied?
Yang Yi didn't lie, he was talking about the actual situation in Qianqian County. Qianqian County not only faces the threat of Xuzhou, but also faces the attack of bandits, because there is no peaceful environment, resulting in the withering of people's livelihood and the hardship of the people.
After Sun Yi and Yang Yi started, especially the two of them, who were good and bad, they were not blamed by Wang Yan, and the county officials enthusiastically opened their mouths and explained their respective situations.
The population, troops, finances, grain reserves, and so on of each county are all clearly stated.
Wang Yandu listened carefully one by one, but did not express his opinion.
What county officials have described is only a superficial situation. What the situation in each county is is not yet known, and Wang Yan cannot believe it with such words.
After the officials finished speaking, their eyes converged on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan said: "The situation in each county, there are good and bad, and they are different. What is the reason for such a large disparity between counties? Is the reason for this to be the concern of the Governor, is it because of the gap in the competence of the Governing Officials? Or is it a question of the customs of the people? Or is it because the environment is different from county to county? β¦β¦β
When everyone heard this, their hearts moved slightly, and suddenly they had an idea. What did Wang Yan mean when he said this, and even from Wang Yan's words, they felt a sense of foreshadowing, as if Wang Yan had something to say.
Wang Yan's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "In view of the different situations in each county, this official has decided to send an investigation team to investigate the situation in each county in order to fully understand. β
Brush!
When the county officials heard this, their expressions changed color.
Survey!
Once Wang Yan's people are stationed in the counties, it will affect the entanglement of interests in the counties.
At this moment, the county officials suddenly understood that this was Wang Yan's killing move, and this was Wang Yan's real purpose, to meddle in the political affairs of the counties by investigating the reasons of the counties, and even to exclude dissidents.
What a clever entry point!
The county officials sighed with emotion in their hearts, but they refuted it.
Because, what Wang Yan put forward is an upright conspiracy.
Wang Yan sneered in his heart when he saw the changes in the expressions of the county officials, and he said unhurriedly: "The responsibilities of the investigation team are twofold, one is to investigate the root cause of poverty or wealth in each county; Second, investigate and deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various counties, and find that one is beheaded and killed. The soldiers accompanying the investigation team will be the 100 elite horsemen who have been trained today, and they will accompany them. β
As soon as they heard this, the officials of the counties were like a failed cockfight, and they all fell into defeat.
The combat effectiveness of a hundred elite horsemen, they have already seen with their own eyes.
With such elite cavalry guards left and right, they did not dare to resist at all. Moreover, Wang Yan found a dignified reason, it was impossible for them to refuse, they could only accept it.
Wang Yan asked, "Princes, do you have any opinions on the arrangement of this official?" β
Sun Yi had already been tied to Wang Yan's boat, and took the initiative to speak: "The lower officials must strictly abide by it, and they must make every effort to prepare for the arrival of the investigation team when they go back." β
Wang Yan bowed slightly, Sun Yi's performance was good.
Qianqian County also nodded, and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan is also looking forward to it, hoping that after the investigation team comes down, it can do its best to change the current predicament of Qianqian County." The life of the people is not good, and the parents and officials are also ashamed. β
The rest of the officials chimed in.
None of the officials present spoke out against it, and they all agreed.
In this way, it means that Wang Yan's move can be carried out, at least no one dares to resist openly. In addition, the officials of each prefecture also have time to prepare after they go back, so they are not too worried.
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said directly: "Donglai County is in ruins, and this official will not leave the princes to delay more time in Huang County." Hurry back to your respective jurisdictions this afternoon or early tomorrow morning to deal with your own affairs. β
The county officials responded one after another, and they finally came to their senses.
At this moment, I finally saw Wang Yan's purpose clearly. This time, Wang Yan had two purposes. First, show force so that they do not dare to act rashly; Second, with the help of the investigation team, the investigation team was installed to investigate corrupt officials and establish Wang Yan's image.
The stratagems are linked one by one, pressing step by step, so that they dare not disagree.
Such scheming and ability, coupled with the force mastered by Wang Yan, gave birth to a strong sense of strength in the hearts of the officials in various counties, and they all knew that Donglai County had really changed.
The later Donglai County was Wang Yan's Donglai County.
