Heroes Emerge Chapter 210 Corrupt officials deserve to be cattle and horses

Zhao Xing's superficial economic concepts in later generations only heard Qin Yilu and Liu Jili's eyes shine, and they have great confidence in how to open up sources and reduce expenditure for the General's Mansion this year. () Zhao Xing's point of view is actually very simple, he just told the two of them: "If you want to eat jī eggs, you must find a way to raise more jī, and you must not even slaughter the little jī and eat it!"

Zhao Xing's concept has always been to hide the wealth from the people, first let the people get rich, and then let the people consume with confidence. The main purpose of Bingzhou has always maintained a strong army and resolutely resisted all kinds of aggression is to vigorously create a peaceful and stable internal environment, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. After the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will naturally promote consumption and increase the fiscal and tax revenues of the counties and counties in the state. The money collected by the counties was fed back to the general's mansion, so that Zhao Xing had the financial resources to continue to build "high roads" in the state, recruit migrant workers to build water conservancy, improve the production base of agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and mining, properly resettle the newly displaced people, manufacture more large-scale military equipment, and raise more war horses......

In view of the deep-rooted corruption in officialdom, Zhao Xing demanded that his secret units, the "Security Bureau" and the "Shadow Force," promptly detect public opinion in various localities, and as soon as the people's grievances in a certain county gradually boiled, they immediately dispatched Tian Feng, an upright and honest official, to investigate and secretly investigate and prevent local officials from continuing to be corrupt. With Tian Feng's high IQ and his many years of experience in the officialdom of the Luoyang Imperial Capital, the "Charm and Spirit" was immediately found to be the prototype everywhere he went. Over time, after some local officials heard that Tian Feng was coming, they often took the initiative to solve the problem, begging to be able to take it lightly.

For the officials who caused the resentment of the people because of their limited ability, Zhao Xing would invite them to Crouching Tiger City for an admonishment talk, and then send them to Sima Fang and other capable officials to train and improve; for the few officials who were greedy into x-ng, Zhao Xing did not ruthlessly kill all of them, but ordered people to confiscate all their family property, and then rushed into the mines controlled by the government to serve labor, Zhao Xing called it "labor reform", and did not give a penny of wages, even the captured Xianbei people were not as good.

At that time, someone suggested that such a treatment of corrupt officials was too light, and Zhao Xingyīn said with a sinister smile: "Don't worry, you don't worry, the labor reform in March and May may still be supportable, if you stay until three or five years later, anyone who enters will feel that life is better than death......" The opponents thought about it carefully, and immediately sweated on their brains, and did not dare to say more.

According to Zhao Xing's concept -- "All officials who treat the people as cattle and horses should turn the people into cattle and horses after they are caught! Now that the state is the time to employ people, it is not too cheap to kill the head of a corrupt official with a knife." Confiscate the property of corrupt officials, and then let them work as coolies, and if they can create an extra wealth for the state, it can be regarded as making up for it!"

In order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from taking the tortuous path of punishing corruption in later generations, Zhao Xing used a lot of brains on how to prevent officials from using power to schem. In light of the current state of society at that time, it was clearly not feasible to implement some of the practices of later generations in their entirety, and they had to be reformed and adapted. For example, the backbone of society at that time was large and small families, and the existence of these families had advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can provide the country with a steady stream of all kinds of talents, and on the other hand, in the long run, it will form a privileged class and aristocratic power.

If Zhao Xing indiscriminately reorganizes the set of measures to "equalize the rich and the poor," there will certainly be a political crisis within three months. Many of the civil and military generals under him are emerging forces, and their families have more or less accumulated wealth in the past few years, even Zhao Yun, a general from the Han family, Zhao Xing built a mansion for him to ensure that the brother and sister would not be inferior. If he engaged in "equalizing the rich and the poor", without others calling, Zhao Xing himself would have to be fled for his life by his subordinates.

Since it is impossible to brutally eliminate the gap between the various classes by artificial means, Zhao Xing has adopted a method of building bridges over the gap between the various classes, that is, to defend the power of all classes to speak out with iron and blood, and to ensure that those who rise up to work hard can step up to the next level through their efforts. This is Zhao Xingchuang's meritorious system, regardless of all walks of life, regardless of background, just look at your contribution to the state. To this end, Zhao Xing also convened a large group of people of various identities to form a "meritorious service committee" to draft and revise specific standards for meritorious service evaluation.

According to Zhao Xing's proposal, those who have made the following achievements will be awarded the first-class meritorious service, that is, the Order of the Purple Heart.

Anyone who rejects the enemy outside the annexation state and protects the peace of the people may be awarded a meritorious service of the first class according to his specific merits. The first batch of generals at all levels under Zhao Xing's account were naturally awarded first-class meritorious services as long as they killed more than 100 enemies after enlisting in the army. People like Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Li Jinwu, Gao Shun and others are eligible. Although several military divisions did not kill the enemy before the battle, because of their proper planning, they reduced the casualties of their own soldiers and ensured the victory of the battle, and were also awarded the Order of the Purple Heart of the First Class.

Whoever has a large number of people living in the local area may be awarded a meritorious service of the first class. The first batch to receive such feats were Zao Yi, Sima Zhi, Cui Yan and others. The results of this selection are indisputable, and the prestige of these officials among the people has directly followed Zhao Xing, which can be called an example of "parent officials".

Those who push through the old and bring forth the new and make major achievements in the field of "science and technology" can also be awarded first-class meritorious service. The first batch of such feats were Hua Tuo, Xu Mantang, the master in charge of blast furnace steelmaking and forging, some craftsmen in charge of weapons research, and the master master in charge of movable type printing. At that time, Zhao Xing deliberately proposed a new word "science and technology" that no one had ever heard, and said in a eloquent manner: "Science and technology are the first productive force!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jian, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others were also awarded first-class meritorious service. It can be seen that Zhao Xing has raised the work of teaching and educating people and talent training to an unprecedented height.

So what benefits do those who are awarded the Order of the Purple Heart get? In Zhao Xing's words, "they will be widely recognized and respected by society." Zhao Xing, who won the first-class medal, did not reward money and fields in a big way, but ordered people to draw images of these meritorious people who had made contributions to the state, record their achievements, and make a list of "masters and sages" in the state, which were exhibited in various counties in turn, and it is said that in the future, they will be engraved on the celebrity monument made of pure steel for future generations to admire.

Families who have obtained first-class meritorious service can install the family emblem specially created for them by the general's mansion craftsman battalion on the carriage, and when walking on the street in the future, those who do not have the family emblem must be courteous first, otherwise it will be regarded as trespassing. In the future, when participating in the assembly, the seats will be arranged according to the meritorious service, regardless of civil and military personnel, and the elder and younger.

There is a meritorious service of the first class, and of course there is merit of the second and third rank. For example, the requirements for first-class meritorious service are to kill more than 100 enemies in the army, and the second-class merit will be reduced to 30 people, and the third-class service will be reduced to 10 people. All meritorious deeds are not hereditary or transferable, and belong only to the person. If Guan Yu's son, Guan Ping, wants to be respected, then he has to go into battle to kill the enemy like his father, or make other contributions. At this point, Zhao Xing is not even special in his own sub-NV.

Listening to Zhao Xing's meaning, there will be some other awards and meritorious services in the future, and there will be special meritorious services on top of first-class meritorious deeds, which can only be awarded by people who have made earth-shattering achievements. In fact, Zhao Xing is currently busy with his brothers, so he can take care of the matter of special meritorious service.
