At the same time, the Officials Administration Bureau was established, which had jurisdiction over 800 tigers, which was dedicated to supervising, investigating, and collecting evidence from officials above the fifth grade of the Chu State, but did not have the right to dispose of it. In other words, only arrest can be made, and there is no right to convict. The power to convict remains in the Sentencing Division. In order not to cause the government office to become a monopoly, and also to avoid creating a chaotic situation in which everyone is in danger. It also stipulates that officials above the fifth rank enjoy the right not to be tortured, so as to avoid unjust cases caused by political struggles, and also stabilize the psychological burden of hundreds of officials.

May 15.

On this day, an obituary was delivered from Gangneung Province.

Nanping Wang Gao Congzhi died in Jiangling three days ago due to illness.

When the news reached Tanzhou, Baili Wuji was discussing the political reform of Chu State with Xu Shiming and other four governors.

Baili Wuji intends to have another "clean official movement".

Except for Xu Shouren, who expressed support, the other three did not express their position.

Not taking a position is not just abstention or no opinion.

If you don't express your position, sometimes you are against it, and Baili Wuji knows it very well in his heart.

Xu Shiming didn't say anything because he was against it, but he was suppressed by Baili Wuji's repeated victories and the momentum of turning danger into disaster several times, although he wanted to oppose it in his heart, but there was no evidence, so he didn't express his position.

Li Honggao and Tuoba Chang did not express their stance because they did not dare to express their position, after all, they had just changed their leaders, and they were worried.

Although Xu Shiming and Liang Zhen thought the same as Liang Zhen and had objections to the last "Qingguan Movement", Baili Wuji believed that Liang Zhen, as a former Tang Jinshi, must have certain limitations in his thinking, and in Liang Zhen's heart, the wealthy family cannot be offended, and the regime should be built on the support of the powerful in various places. But in Baili Wuji's heart, what he wants to build is a country where Haoqiang and the people coexist and prosper, Wuji does not hate Haoqiang, in his heart, Haoqiang is still the elite of the country, but ordinary people must not lose the opportunity to become elites because of elites. And Baili Wuji rose in Gyeongju, there is no fixed party around him, and he has absolute military power in his hands, so it is suitable to make a ruthless hand to cut the officialdom and political situation of Chu State bloodily, and lay a stable political foundation for the future.

At this time, the arrival of Gao Congzhi's death obituary temporarily interrupted the discussion of the "Qingguan Movement".

How could this high congregation suddenly fall ill and die? A few months ago, when I borrowed the road to go south, I was still in good .......

Baili Wuji sent Li Honggao to Jiangling to express condolences on his behalf.

The first day of June.

The emperor of Shu State, Meng Chang, issued an order to give Gao Cong's Shangshu Order, and he was the king of literature. At the same time, his son Gao Baorong was canonized as the king of Nanping and the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, and the original land of Jingnan Sanzhou.

Li Honggao returned to Tanzhou to tell Baili Wuji, and according to the Jiangling Palace, Gao Congzhi died of wind and cold.

Chu Guo has too many things to deal with at the moment, and Baili Wuji doesn't take this to heart.

……。

Baili Wuji's method of appointing the old people of Yuan Chu in important positions on both the military and political sides began to work.

Many people who were dismissed by Ma Xifan began to recommend themselves or ask others to recommend them to enter the officialdom of Chu State.

The most representative figure is none other than Ding Sijing.

Ding Siji, the former general of Chuya and the general of the forbidden army. He was dissatisfied with Ma Xifan's only pleasure and did not want to forge ahead, and wrote to Ma Xifan, "Now the four seas are divided, and the land of the Central Plains is only a dozen states, and the king Keshao is the first to be the chief of the princes, and he has not heard of a horse for the Son of Heaven. ”

The tone was indeed a little arrogant, Ma Xifan was furious when he saw it, and it didn't take long for Ding Sijin to resign his official and military positions.

But Baili Wuji believes that arrogance is generally always in the hands of people with some skills.

At least, if you dare to be arrogant to your own king, you can't help but say that you are a little bold.

Therefore, Baili Wuji arranged a position suitable for Ding Siji's arrogant character.

Special operations capital infantry battalions will be.

Li Honggao and Tuoba were appointed as permanent governors, Liu Qinggui was appointed as the general of the forbidden army, Ding Sijin was appointed as the general of the infantry battalion of the special warfare capital, etc., the influence of these people who were reused continued to spread, and the princes of Chu no longer worried about the king of Chu Baili Wuji and the people of Gyeongju.

As a result, they have entered the company through various channels. The list of alternate officials in Baili Wuji's hands is growing day by day.

……。

It's that people have shortcomings.

Xu Shiming, the secretary of the Chu Prince's Mansion, is a human being, and naturally he is no exception.

Xu Shiming is indeed a good hand at internal affairs.

I know almost everything, I can do anything, and I can think of anything.

But he has hobbies, and he has a good reputation.

Hobbies are in a way disadvantages.

If you have a hobby, you will be persistent. If you have attachment, you will suffer.

If there is pain, it will be lost. If you get lost, you will fail.

Baili Wuji naturally can't fail, because failure will lead to death, and many people will die.

For the sake of these people who need Baili Mowgli to protect, so Baili Mowgli can only win.

Winning is naturally winning.

To win, it naturally takes the dead.

Among the dead are enemies, and there are also their own people.

Therefore, Baili Wuji is human.

If you are human, you naturally have shortcomings.

The current shortcoming of Baili Mowgli is that it is aggressive.

Radical is sometimes a compliment.

But for a state of Chu that has just changed kings, radical may be a derogatory term.

There are many synonyms for radical.

Presumptuous, frivolous, impulsive, etc.

But Xu Shiming had to admit that Baili Wuji had radical capital.

And the capital is abundant.

With more than 80,000 Black Flag troops and 20,000 forbidden troops, a total of more than 100,000 Tiger Ben, there are only a hundred miles of unscrupulous in their eyes.

Such capital wants to come, and in the eyes of anyone, they dare not ignore the existence of Baili Wuji.

But he had to advise Baili Wuji today.

"My lord, I still ask my lord to consider this tax reduction."

Baili Wuji knows Xu Shiming's temperament, this is not really impossible, and small difficulties will not bother him.

"Sir, please sit down and elaborate."

"My lord, this is directly reduced from two to ten, and the treasury is really empty......."

After becoming the king of Chu, Baili Wuji first opened his way to the current taxes.

In order to repair the Tiance Mansion and the Huichun Garden, Ma Xifan forcibly levied and extorted taxes to the point of two draws and one for one.

Reducing the tax to two out of ten is not too much in the eyes of Baili Wuji.

"What do you mean, sir? Originally, Ma Xifan raised the tax to two to one because of the lack of money in the Tiance Mansion, and now he has lowered the tax, what's wrong? Originally, Ma Xifan raised nearly 200,000 troops, but now the Black Flag Army of Chu State has a total of more than 100,000 troops. How can it lead to an empty treasury? ”

Xu Shiming said: "What the lord said is true, but the lord won't know that the salary of the Black Flag Army is more than two parts of the original Chu army, right?" ”

"Uh......."

"If the lord lowers the Black Flag Army's salaries and officials' salaries by half, he agrees to reduce the tax to two out of ten."

"It's ......."

Baili Wuji stared at Xu Shiming.

This old man is really hateful, you don't know your intentions, and you actually use such tricks to prevent a certain person from launching the "Cleanup Movement".
