Chapter 498: Someone Above
Yuan Bin slowly spit out two words: "People's heart!" ”
Jia Kun was silent for a moment, these two words have always been on his lips on weekdays, but in fact, this is not the case.
What is Minmin?
In the eyes of scholars, those who call it a citizen need at least a certain status, and ordinary people are not considered people.
The officials suggested that the emperor reduce taxes at every turn, but in fact, it was not the common people who were reduced, but the gentry.
How much grain can those mud legs who dig in the field grow throughout the year?
For them, paying more taxes and less is actually not very meaningful.
However, for the real gentry, if the imperial court can reduce or exempt certain taxes, whether it is grain tax or commercial tax, the impact will be greater.
In a sense, the gentry were also the common people, and could represent all the common people, because they not only controlled most of the wealth of the world, but also controlled the public opinion of the world.
Therefore, whenever the imperial court decrees a tax reduction or exemption, there must be people who sing praises of merit, but when the imperial court needs it, it can only suffer the people again and again.
How can Jia Kun not know the doorway of this?
The question is what if he knows it, so he said that although this old man Liu took off his official clothes and went to the family, it was not difficult for people to get rid of a prefect at all.
All the gentry have long formed a community of interests, either to integrate into them, or to ...... Die!
Although Jia Kun is unwilling to go along with them, he can only be hypocritical, at least on the bright side, he does not dare to go against others.
This is why when he received Sun's complaint, his first reaction was not to solve the problem, but to solve the person who raised the problem.
Yuan Bin continued: "This case, originally Jinyiwei could be directly investigated, but Jinyiwei is always Jinyiwei, and it cannot replace the local yamen. ”
"Before this commander left, the emperor specially instructed that this purge should not only completely remove the moths in the imperial court, but also better change the rule of officials and change the image of officials in the hearts of the people."
"Why are the people afraid of officials, why do they dare not report to the officials if something happens, think about it, what did you do in the past?"
"It seems that the case of the Sun family, is it just that if you bite to death and have no evidence, you can't decide the case, or even sentence you to a false accusation."
"Governor Jia, I have checked your details, although there is a suspicion of protecting the officials, in general, it is quite clean, and there is no wanton accumulation of wealth, as well as corruption and perversion of the law, so I gave you this opportunity, to correct your own name, and let the people know that you, the prefect, are the parents and officials who can really make decisions for them, so that they can be wronged and have a place to complain."
Jia Kun's face became more and more ugly, and his forehead was already soaked with sweat.
If someone else said this to himself, he might laugh it off and secretly say in his heart, you are still too young to know how deep the water of officialdom is.
However, the person in front of him is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the meaning is different.
"I can do Liu Sanjiang today, and I can do you tomorrow, I hope you can do it yourself!"
After Yuan Bin finished saying the last sentence, he ignored it and turned to leave.
Jia Kun only felt the cold sweat on his back, he couldn't hold it anymore, his whole body was weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Not far behind him, two messengers hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly lifted him up from the ground.
"Master, are you uncomfortable, do you want to invite Lang Zhong?"
"No, don't ......"
Jia Kun slowly stood up and said, "Listen, fully cooperate with Jinyiwei to investigate the case of the Liu family." ”
"Huh? Really? ”
"Nonsense!"
Jia Kun suddenly sank his face and said: "This government has a word first, whoever dares not to do their best, or collect money privately to be accommodating, once it is found, they will be immediately dismissed and investigated, and they will be punished for the same crime!" ”
"Also, go back and find out all the previous backlogs, notify the sufferers one by one, this government will re-accept it, and post notices throughout the city, no matter who has grievances, no matter who wants to sue anyone, this government will not refuse!"
"This ...... Be! ”
Jia Kun is a smart person, he has seen it very clearly, and the emperor is ready to move seriously.
If you can't see the situation clearly, not only will you lose the veil on your head, but you may also be killed at any time.
Soon, he was relieved.
If you are like this, why worry that the world can't be governed?
In just a few days, Ying Tianfu received hundreds of pleadings.
There are even many of the written messes, some only have one sentence, a few words, and one is even more excessive, with only one big injustice.
If it had been placed in the past, such a petition would not have even been read, but today, those who came did not refuse, and all of them were promoted to the court for trial.
Looking at the people in the hall telling all kinds of grievances, he was secretly ashamed in his heart, he had been the prefect for three years, and he thought that the wind was clean and upright, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The servants were all busy, arresting people everywhere, and all of them were local nobles with heads and faces.
When encountering those who do not cooperate, or even openly confront, they are not used to it, and they just pull out their knives and do it.
"Open the door, open the door!"
In a large mansion in the south of the city, a team of errand officers in official uniforms are calling the door.
"Who?"
An impatient voice came from inside, and then a crack opened in the door.
The porter poked his head out, looked at the servant outside, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"In response to Tianfu's case, there is a case that asks Master Wang to go and assist in the investigation!"
"Do you know who my master is?"
The porter looked disdainful and said: "Even if your prefect comes to invite him personally, it depends on whether my lord appreciates his face, and it depends on your ......."
Bang!
The team leader kicked the door open and said angrily: "Lao Tzu cares who you are, go and tell your master Wang, either follow me by yourself, or tie him up and take him away!" ”
The porter sat down on the ground and shouted, "It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's going to be beaten, come on!" ”
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen caretakers came over from Hulala, holding sticks and looking vicious.
Seeing this, the team leader directly drew his knife and said in a deep voice: "Openly confronting the officials, are you going to rebel?" ”
When these people saw each other show their knives, they all stopped.
"Ah, beat them! Our young master is a big official in the capital, what are you afraid of? ”
The porter was still shouting, but no one dared to step forward.
These people are shrewd in their hearts, and it's just a matter of bullying the common people on weekdays, after all, the people don't have knives in their hands.
Receiving so much money every month, what kind of life are you fighting for?
The squad leader took a step forward and put the knife on the neck of the porter.
"The prefect has an order, and those who obstruct the case will be killed!"
The porter sneered: "Do you know who my young master is?" ”
