Chapter 110: Annihilation
Before Li Feng's plan to make a fortune began, Xiao Junzhe came out again and began to check the government affairs of Youzhou.
The supervising imperial history who followed Xiao Junzhe was even rummaging through the yamen, looking for the files of previous years, and the yamen could not work normally.
Liu Ji reported the situation to Li Feng, and Li Feng couldn't help it, Xiao Junzhe represented the emperor's meaning, not something he could contend with.
"Cooperate with their investigation."
"But, the prince ......"
"Do you have unclean hands and feet?"
Liu Ji nodded helplessly, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is observed, there will be no disciples, in the officialdom, it is extremely rare to say that it is completely clean.
In the area of corruption, Li Feng did not supervise too much, and the people below were basically corrupt, and if they really wanted to investigate, they could pull out the entire Youzhou officialdom.
"Usually my request to you is to do practical things, as long as your hands and feet are not too much, it doesn't matter if you are dirty, but now it doesn't work, you let those who have corrupt behaviors take the initiative to surrender to Xiao Junzhe."
Liu Ji was shocked, is the prince going to give up on them?
Li Feng explained: "Xiao Junzhe wants a stain, and it's not you, it's me. A few stains on the white paper are eye-catching, but if a piece of paper is completely black, it doesn't matter. ”
"The law does not blame the public, if you really pull out all the officialdom in Youzhou, Your Majesty's board will be beaten down and Xiao Junzhe will be beaten first."
Liu Ji understood, playing hooligans and messing around, anyway, it's all like this, either you pull them all out, or the thunder is loud and the rain is small, grasp the big and let go of the small, and let the entire government affairs continue to operate.
"Yes, I'll go and inform them."
Youzhou officials are basically local, only a few are sent from other places, led by Lu Guanyan, and later these people were completely cleaned up by Li Feng, and the new Youzhou officials are now all local factions.
These people are inextricably linked with the local gentry and wealthy families in Youzhou, and basically represent the will of one of them, which is a bit like the political structure of Lao Mei in later generations.
And the gentry and wealthy families in Youzhou are bound to Li Feng again, so Li Feng doesn't have to worry that they will change their position and take refuge in Xiao Junzhe.
What Li Feng is worried about is that Li Yuan made a fuss about the previous things, after all, Li Feng had done too many bad things before, and there were a large number of human and material evidence, which was a fatal thing.
After Liu Ji went down, he summoned the officials in Youzhou and asked them to report all the embezzled amounts to Xiao Junzhe according to their actual situation.
The big and small officials in Youzhou were frightened after hearing this: "Liu Tingshi, you want our lives." ”
"This is the prince's order, do you want to go against the prince's will?"
After Liu Ji finished reprimanding, he slowed down his voice and comforted: "I'm the same, I will report the corruption situation to 1510." If you don't believe me, can you still not believe the prince? When did he pit you? ”
Li Feng's reputation and credibility are quite good among officials, as long as they do things seriously, even if they are corrupt, as long as they are not too excessive, he will turn a blind eye, and they are unwilling to change such a good leader.
Some people believe it, but some people are still uneasy: "Lord Liu, it is Your Majesty who wants to check the prince this time." ”
Liu Ji sneered and said, "The prince is the eldest son of the emperor's favorite concubine. ”
Needless to say, let those who understand understand.
There is that smart official, hearing Liu Ji's words, his body is trembling, King You is the eldest son of the former emperor, can it be said?
Liu Jiyan was all that, and then found Xiao Junzhe with his corruption evidence.
Xiao Junzhe was taking someone to check the government affairs in Youzhou, and as soon as he saw the stalling into the mu and was understanding the advantages and disadvantages of this policy, he saw Liu Ji coming over with a bunch of things.
"This is the arrears and bills that this official embezzled after serving as the assassin, please take a look at it."
Xiao Junzhe was stunned for a few seconds, and then buttoned his ears, still unable to believe what he heard and saw.
The first civil official in Youzhou, and the most powerful civil official under Youwang Li Feng, he actually took the initiative to surrender and report his corruption evidence?
Liu Ji's shock to Xiao Junzhe hadn't passed, and a bunch of Youzhou officials came behind him, all holding a bunch of things in their hands, all of which were evidence of their corruption.
Xiao Junzhe and his subordinate supervisors are stupid, they have seen those who have thrown themselves into the net, but they have never seen the group that has thrown themselves into the net, and there are discounts for the group?
"Xiao Dizhi, what are you waiting for?"
Xiao Junzhe reacted at this time, and hurriedly beckoned the following supervisors to come forward to accept the evidence.
"Don't go, any of you."
"No, we're all ready to go to jail."
Xiao Junzhe looked at the calm Liu Ji, and then he understood that this must be the conspiracy of Youwang, I am afraid that all the officials in Youzhou are here, and the government affairs of Youzhou are stagnant, and he is the unlucky one in the end.
But the assassin was on the verge and had to send it, so Xiao Junzhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Liu Ji and others all be staked.
Liu Ji and others were all detained, and such a major event shook the entire Youzhou, no official did anything, many things were stopped, and the biggest damage was the local gentry and wealthy families.
The local gentry and wealthy families in Youzhou came to Yamen collectively to ask for an explanation.
Xiao Junzhe looked at the gentry and wealthy families who came over collectively, and he was anxious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will definitely give you an answer to this matter as soon as possible, please be patient."
"We can't wait, we have to pay taxes when we do business, and transporting goods without public means is smuggling."
Since Li Feng's reform, Youzhou has undertaken commercial exchanges between the Great Cadres and the Turks, and these goods need to be issued by Youzhou for entry and exit, which is equivalent to the pass obtained after paying taxes, and no pass is smuggling.
Although this was not long after Li Feng was established, he had previous experience and established rules, so there were many businessmen who came and went, and the local gentry and wealthy families in Youzhou also participated.
This led to a large number of businessmen blocking the door, which was not instructed by Li Feng, but the result of all officials being dealt with.
Xiao Junzhe didn't expect such a result, looking at the large number of businessmen who came to the door to ask for explanations, he was even more confused, and he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Li Feng, the king of You, appeared and said to all the merchants: "Don't worry, everyone, we have to believe in the imperial court, believe in Your Majesty, and this matter will definitely be dealt with soon." ”
"Lord Wang, then who will open our public affairs these days?"
"There is no need for public certificates these days, everyone's taxes are exempted, and you can trade on your own."
The businessmen cheered, but Xiao Junzhe was anxious: "Lord, these are all taxes of the imperial court, how can they be directly exempted?" ”
Li Feng looked at Xiao Junzhe coldly: "There are a lot of officials needed for the market trade, and they are all professional officials, Lord Xiao has arrested all the officials in Youzhou in one go, and there is no one in Youzhou right now." ”
"Merchants need to do business again, and they don't open the way. Does Lord Xiao have any other good ideas? ”
Xiao Junzhe was choked by Li Feng and didn't know how to answer, he was completely unfamiliar with these trades and the like, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Holding his breath for a while, Xiao Junzhe could only give up confronting Li Feng head-on, and instead wrote a recital and continued to participate in Li Feng.
