Chapter 231: Punishment (4)

Mobile reading

Ye Yueming was not surprised when he heard this number, he smiled faintly, full of meaning: "It's better than Xiao Wang thought." There are more than 200 officials who can get on the stage, and the number of people under them is simply incalculable. If this momentum continues, will Yuzhuo City be an official for all the people? ”

"Back to Your Highness, more than half of them were promoted last year, and they are perverse, and even those who are specifically responsible for taking care of the foals that the county lieutenant rides on daily have about five exclusive official positions, and the total number of forests is countless." Zhou Yaji casually reported a few official names that sounded very unbelievable, and Emperor Xi was immediately stunned.

Forget about anything else, what is the toilet paper delivery officer and the water delivery officer for? Are these feudal officials like a toilet, do they have to guard outside to hand over paper and water?

Ye Yueming was angry and funny when she heard these unbelievable official names, and she didn't know what expression to put on for a while: "Stop, stop, Xiao Wang doesn't want to know how many names there are, just want to know a little, do these people all have the country's money?" ”

"All collars."

"No wonder. It is no wonder that several cities on the border have asked the imperial court for more and more money and grain every year since Yuzhuo City, and the taxes for the imperial court have become less and less. Ye Yueming was so angry that she laughed out loud, like crazy.

"Your Highness...... There is a saying in a humble position, and I don't know whether to say it or not. Zhou Yaji saw that Ye Yue was so angry that he couldn't touch the north, so he thought about it for a while, and suddenly spoke up.

Ye Yueming stared at him, her chin bowed: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Your Highness, there are indeed many officials and people in Yuzhuo City, but it is precisely because Lord Sun has set up a name that he can mobilize these people to raise salaries for our army and defend the country. Although Master Sun is often greedy and lazy to take care of government affairs, this is indeed ......"

"General Zhou thinks this is a good thing for Yuzhuo City?" Di Xi, who had always felt that he was an outsider and inconvenient to meddle in Cangshuo affairs, heard that generals like Zhou Yaji actually began to help Sun Buzhi speak, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and asked rhetorically.

Zhou Yaji saw that Emperor Xi was following Ye Yueming's side, and even stood side by side with Ye Yueming, knowing that this woman was probably similar to Ye Yueming, both of whom were rich and noble, so he naturally didn't dare to underestimate Emperor Xi, and replied honestly: "It's not, it's just that for the time being, it's good for Yuzhuo City." ”

"What's the benefit? If Sun Bu was a good official who was diligent in government and loved the people, how could Yuzhuo City have such a large population and commerce and trade to end up in today's field? Isn't it shocking enough that the number of officials in a small city accounts for twenty-three out of tenth? General Zhou, let me ask you, do you know that the officials of Liuyue City are compared to the common people, what is the proportion? I'm telling you, three or four out of a thousand. How can Jade Zhuo City have more officials than Liuyue City? Could it be that Sun doesn't know that he still wants to be a soil emperor? Emperor Xi asked one question after another, and the tone of each question increased by three points, and even brought some harsh criticism of Zhou Yaji in the back.

Zhou Yaji was speechless when asked by Emperor Xi, and opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say half a word.

"Nothing more? Well, I'll continue to tell you, what kind of disaster will this method that seems to be beneficial to Jade City will cause to Jade City next. Emperor Xi told Zhou Yaji about what would happen next, and Zhou Yaji was covered in a cold sweat when he heard it.

This kind of deformed relationship between the government and the people will lead to people who are not highly conscious gradually bullying the weak, and the situation of the entire Jade City will take a sharp turn for the worse, and finally the entire city will begin to collapse from the inside.

This situation, no matter who it is, does not want to see it with their own eyes.

Although Zhou Yaji does seem to be a person with brains, but in the end, he can't escape the courage of his husband, how would he know that such a practice is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.

She and Ye Yueming have been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and they are always clearer about these doorways, and they are more aware of the dangers of doing so.

"Okay, county lord, don't scare Yaji, since Xiao Wang is here, these people all have to give Xiao Wang a fuck." Ye Yueming threw the list directly to Zhou Yaji and said: "You just take this list directly to arrest people, if there is resistance, remember their names and put them in prison, and if there is no resistance, you will be beheaded on the spot." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yaji took the order, took the thick stack of lists and walked out of the gate of the mansion.

Emperor Xi smiled at Ye Yueming, and said in his heart that Ye Yueming was kind to the end, and he was reluctant to let these people who didn't understand the rules at all. People who can find that this list does not have any instructions, more or less know some vicissitudes of the law, or rather, some common sense, not people who are illiterate, this kind of person is at least not a great crime, and there may be people who can be used after considering one or two, but they can't even see such a simple thing......

"Xiao Wang is definitely going to strangle the traitors on the border, do you really think that the emperor is far away, and no one can control them?" Ye Yueming was so angry that she thought of the astonishing number of officials and masters.

Emperor Xi looked at him quietly: "You are making such a big deal of rectification, aren't you afraid that someone will fight back and want your life when the time comes?" ”

"With the county lord here, why is Xiao Wang afraid?" Ye Yueming was very indifferent, and directly moved out the imperial seal. Ye Yueming, as a mortal, naturally doesn't know the current situation of the emperor's seal, if it weren't for Luan Yu's support, he would have been half-dead a long time ago, he just thought very simply that since the emperor's seal is not a mortal, he must have special powers, just like Luo Yu or Prajna.

Emperor Xi didn't make much excuses, just slightly bent the corners of his lips, and didn't plan to dwell on this matter.

It would be good for Ye Yueming to think so, at least he wouldn't particularly care about what might happen to her in the future. Even Emperor Xi herself didn't know what kind of situation Luan Yu's spiritual power would be like one day.

Outside the jade city, in just one day, the city was full of the smell of blood, and you could smell it from afar without leaving home. That's all the smell coming from the market.

Ye Yueming's instructions were implemented very thoroughly by Zhou Yaji, and all those who couldn't read the documents, a lot, were all arrested by Zhou Yaji and beheaded on the street to show the public.

At the beginning, the onlookers would shout that it was good to kill, but when there were more and more heads, the people were silent. One by one, they watched silently as the prisoners walked up to the execution ground, and the executioner raised his sword and axe again and again, and fell again and again, all of them silent.

This purge of the official mantle of Yuzhuo City lasted for three full hours, knowing that the night was dark, Ye Yueming led the emperor to the entrance of the vegetable market.

Zhou Yaji sent someone to escort the two of them to Xingtai, and when Ye Yueming looked at the faces of the people in the audience, he knew that these people's hearts must not be good.

Among these people who were killed, there may be brothers who they had drunk with two days ago, comrades who had resisted the herdsmen together, or their relatives, but now, they could only watch these people's heads fall to the ground, asking themselves, if it was Ye Yueming herself, they would also feel extremely sad.
