Chapter 561: Sudden Storm
When Chen Letian rushed from Chengdu to Bazhong City. When the Shu Wangfu felt that the dust had finally settled on this matter, it would allow him to rest for a while. When the Governor's Palace handed the fold to him, the Governor breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, there is a wave of undercurrent surging underneath Shudi that no one may have thought of except Chen Letian.
It's not really appropriate to say that it's a trend, to be exact, it's just a little bit more intense than word of mouth.
In the past few days, such cases have occurred in Shudi, from small to large, from the beginning of the breeze blowing gently, until the final uproar caused by the case of the Zun of Bazhong City and County.
Like a seed, it was planted in the hearts of the people of Shudi. And it took root, and then it sprouted ...
And then the flowers bloomed.
This flower is a trend that is still surging in invisible places.
Then all the Shu government offices, before the final judgment of the imperial court on the Cao County Order, successively encountered minor or serious declarations from the local people.
In a word, the people of Shu spontaneously set off a wave of searching for corrupt officials.
In just four or five days, this wave spread. From the very beginning of Chengdu, and then quickly swept across the entire land of Bashu.
It spread out as if it were a great plague.
The first to bear the brunt is Chengdu, or it can be said that it is normal and natural to be the first to start from Chengdu, after all, if you want to say where the people in the land of Bashu are the most courageous, there is no doubt that it is Chengdu. And this is also due to the fact that this is the capital of Bashu, the Great Song Dynasty looks at Bianjing, Bashu looks at Chengdu, as long as the entire court mentions Bashu, you must first look at Chengdu, which is very common.
Only in this way can the people of Chengdu dare to be bold. If you want to be bold, it is nothing more than that the government allows you to speak, and the government allows you to speak, the premise is that the imperial court always pays attention to whether the Chengdu government is suspected of blocking the mouths of the people.
First of all, the people in Chengdu began to doubt the Chengdu government, Chengdu is like a small court, with all officials, except for the lack of military power, the tax personnel and household registration of the government are available.
The common people who do business, farming, small business, and big business can find their own conflicts with the government.
Contradictions arise every year, sometimes the government will solve them well, sometimes it may be that things are more difficult to decide, and sometimes it is the laziness and procrastination of the government that does not satisfy the people.
Anyway, as long as the people of Shu are adults, as long as they have been up and down in this world for more than ten decades, they are more or less dissatisfied with the government, even if it is a country like the Great Song Dynasty, which claims to be the happiest people in the world, it is no exception, not to mention Shu Di, which is relatively more corrupt because of autonomy.
According to the normal situation, as long as the people are not forced to live, the people's patience will pass, after all, no one wants to fight with the officials if they have money or not.
But there are always many unbearable things, such as those who have changed from a well-off middle-class family to a poor family because of the lack of attention of officials, and so on.
This kind of person is the first person to promote this wave, and then there are ordinary people who have been oppressed, for example, when collecting taxes, you collect a lot of more silver into the pockets of the officials, for example, when you calculate the population, you give some silver to the small officials, you can count one less person in your family, so that you pay less taxes... Even when handing over grain, the bucket is dug flat, don't pile the pointed ...
People who can still live this kind of life, in fact, if you let them take the lead, they will definitely not do it, after all, the shoes on their feet are still clean and wearable, and they are actually very satisfied if they can maintain the current situation.
There are also people with good lives, fundamentally speaking, this kind of people are not willing to join this camp at all, but when they find that all the middle and bottom people around them are joining, and this kind of thing is regarded as a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, they begin to worry that if they don't join, they may become the object of everyone's scolding after the final victory. Everyone will say, look at these people, they are the most spineless and spineless people, they live to eat, drink and sleep, and don't think about our Great Song Dynasty at all, the Great Song Dynasty has today's long-term peace and stability, it is by no means their credit, if the Great Song Dynasty dies in the future, it will definitely be the bane they planted. So this kind of person can't wait to join after seeing the waves in Chengdu rising wave after wave.
In this way, from top to bottom, as long as they are not government personnel, almost all the people have joined the wave of searching for corrupt officials.
Your son works in the Ministry of Rites, so he has made a lot of money, right?
Your son works in the household department, how much money does he earn?
My son can't make oil and water and won't make black money, otherwise why can't my family afford a sedan chair now?
That's just as well. However, I see that the old Zhang family recently bought a sedan chair, which is quite beautiful, I don't know if it is black money.
The youngest son of the old Zhang family is doing business outside, and it seems that he made money last year, so he bought it, don't talk nonsense.
We're not talking nonsense, my son is not not an official, my son is still the deputy director of the tax department, but my son is just two sleeves and a breeze, and he can only afford to drink tea for a penny and a pound. It's really bitter, I sometimes buy him good ones, but he is still angry and doesn't drink it, saying that I spent money indiscriminately, saying that the family is not rich, and there is no need to drink tea so well.
We have too many hard days and are used to it, we don't matter, the key is as Chen Gongzi said, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, we must have the sense of ownership, and we must have the consciousness that the Great Song Dynasty is my family's honesty depends on everyone's consciousness, otherwise when we are rotten from the inside out and from top to bottom, it will be too late, and when the horseshoe of the Liang State and the horseshoes of the Wei State, or even the horseshoe of the Hu people step into our Great Song Dynasty Gate and cut our heads, everything will be too late.
So we can't be the shrunken turtle that Chen Gongzi said. We're looking for it. Find out who is suspicious and who is really corrupt officials, let's find them out like Chen Gongzi, and return us to Chengdu a clean slate.
At the beginning of Chen Gongzi, didn't Chen Gongzi think that he would be retaliated against by Cao County's order? He must have thought of it, and later Chen Gongzi almost died at the hands of the killer sent by Cao County's order, but Chen Gongzi still moved forward, although Chen Gongzi's courage and courage, although we don't have it, but we can also do it with this life! We are also human beings, we don't have Chen Gongzi's ability, but we have a heart to learn from Chen Gongzi!
