"As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, it's not right for you to do this!" Li Xuan'er smiled and chased after him.

Then Li Xuan'er told Chen Letian about her idea of cultivating the maids to be her right-hand men. Chen Letian smiled and said, You have to compare everything with me? But I still support your idea, if you need my help, just say.

Li Xuan'er said, for the time being, I still come by myself, and the people I cultivate myself are more intimate.

After that night, Feng Shan proposed to change his residence. But it was vetoed by Chen Letian. The reason for closing the mountain is very simple, now that the residence has been exposed, if they send killers again, don't even check the address, and come directly, which means that we are in a clear place.

And Chen Letian means that if the county lord sends a killer again, it will only be more powerful than Hu Fei and Hu Zhen, and for that kind of killer, it is the same wherever you change, and people can find out within a few days.

Besides, if we really fight in this noble area, the impact on the nobles is not small. It's like killing people in the capital, if you run to the Forbidden City, people will definitely be reluctant to do it, and they will definitely wait for you to leave the city and come to the suburbs before doing it.

Feng Shan still wanted to insist, Chen Letian patted him on the shoulder and said, listen to me, it won't be wrong.

Feng Shan believed him, of course, but he was still worried. Day and night, he always walked around the house every other hour, only in this way could he rest assured, otherwise, he would not be able to sleep at all.

Chen Letian persuaded Feng Shan not to work so hard, but Feng Shan Guang agreed, but it was accurate, and he went around once an hour, and Chen Letian was helpless.

After a few days of summarizing the data.

Chen Letian found that there were really many officials in the county government who colluded with the Iron Head Gang. About a fraction of that.

Don't underestimate this number, it's about two-fifths.

What does this mean? It means that from top to bottom, two out of every five people in Bazhongcheng County are members of the Iron Head Gang.

This proportion is a very terrible thing.

If, suppose, the Iron Heads want to rebel, then it may only take an hour, and when the deployment is complete, the inside and outside should be combined to occupy Bazhong City.

In other words, the infiltration of the Tietou Gang into the county government of Bazhongcheng has reached the point where it can quickly seize power. If this is in the Central Plains, then the officials of the entire county government will probably be questioned.

But at this time, in Shu, it was Bazhong City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Shu king, who was highly autonomous, that this situation would occur. In Chen Letian's view, this is normal and deserved.

Since ancient times, whether it is the common people or the nobles, basically their lives, that is, two words, pleasure.

From top to bottom, from rich to poor, everyone lives like this.

And because of this, after Xishu was annexed to the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in order to show that Xishu and our Great Song Dynasty had a friendship of thousands of years, so let you be autonomous, except that you have no military power, everything is your own.

Against this background, it would be strange that there would not be such a high degree of collusion and infiltration between officials and bandits.

Chen Letian has long understood a truth from history books. Since ancient times, on the basis of the rule of man, it is to see whose system is more advanced.

A backward system can breed much more corruption than an advanced system. Hassle-free

Although it seems that the people live and work in peace and contentment, in the final analysis, this tranquility is not solid, and it may collapse in ten years.

for his foundation is unstable.

Chen Letian looked at the information on the table about so many officials colluding with the Iron Head Gang, and it stands to reason that he should be happy. Because there were so many officials for him to choose from, he could choose those who were most favorable to the complaint. But he couldn't be happy, because the people of the entire Bazhong City were blinded by these moths in the county government, and even thought that the biggest moth, the county lord, was as clear as water.

"These officials, have they participated in the scientific examination? Have Xiucai taken the examination?" Chen Letian suddenly wanted to figure out this question, and couldn't help asking.

Liu Daming, who was standing next to him, said: "Owner, I have counted this, half of the officials have participated in the imperial examination, and half of them have been selected for the examination. ”

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty are to be respected at the most basic level of Qipin County and above, except for special circumstances, such as being used in the people's reputation too prosperous, all of them must go through the imperial examination to obtain the status of a lifter.

As for the officials below, there are no hard and fast rules, but there is an unwritten rule in officialdom, and Xiucai is easier to be admitted.

Half of these officials who colluded with the bandits were Xiucai. Chen Letian sighed: "Have you read half of Xiucai's books into the dog's stomach?"

Liu Daming bowed his head slightly: "The owner, only half of the talents, but it was a little unexpected to me." I heard that in the Central Plains, the officials have to show off their talents. ”

"That's not true, but seven or eight times out of ten. Chen Letian said: "It can be seen that it has something to do with reading, if the other half also reads, maybe there will be fewer people who collude with bandits." ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "The owner is really good at making excuses. However, I think that it has something to do with reading, but it is not an absolute relationship. It is true that everyone has gone to school, and the possibility of breaking the law will definitely drop significantly. But the situation in Shu is purely due to the ineffective governance of Shu by the King of Shu, which is related to the system. ”

"Daming, you are looking at the long run, from the top down. And I looked from the bottom up, and I was right. If these people are educated, these people will not only not take advantage of the loopholes in the system, but will even help to repair the loopholes. Chen Letian took a sip of tea, walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hands, and looked at Liu Daming.

Liu Daming also looked at Chen Letian, the two men understood, and they both saw what the other party didn't explain clearly from each other's eyes.

What swelled up in Liu Daming's heart was a kind of lonely ice and snow that no one could solve for so many years, and suddenly encountered the warm sun.

And in Chen Letian's heart, there are people under his command who can make him no longer need to do everything himself, can share it for him, and can make him feel at ease to let go of some things to others.

Chen Letian walked up to Liu Daming, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Daming, after you turn back to this matter, you go back to the capital with me." ”

Liu Daming should have given his hand.

Chen Letian thought to himself, this Liu Daming and Qin Tieniu are together, they are a strong team, I am afraid that the two of them can do a great career and give me the entire tens of millions of taels of silver, haha...

Luo Guan has stepped on the point for four days.

According to his observations, Chen Letian was in the house for almost twelve hours and hardly went out. When he saw people, he always came to visit him, or he was in the restaurant opposite the house, and he never went far.

The names on the task list have changed from Li Xuan'er to Li Xuan'er and Chen Letian.

Because they are the leaders, only if they are all dead, this matter can be solved, otherwise whoever dies will attract greater accountability from another person.
