Chapter 249: Forced Mediation
The carriage with the logo of the eldest princess's mansion entered the palace, and under the guidance of the guards, Li Hongsleeve saw Li Changqing, and Li Hongsleeve accompanied Li Changqing to the imperial garden for a walk, which is the most remote place in the palace, and the farthest away from Chen Shifeng, and they talked quite safely.
"You're coming to me for Jiang Cheng's business, Red Sleeves"
"Yes, Grandpa"
"Do you still want to speak for him, do you know how many things Jiang Cheng is hiding from you?"
"I know"
"Red sleeves, could it be that you and Jiang Cheng are really like the rumors?"
"Grandpa Huang misunderstood, I have no personal relationship with Jiang Cheng"
"Then why do you have to turn your elbow outward, that Zhong Uncle in Jiang Cheng's mansion is also a martial arts master who is not weaker than me, plus Xiao An, Yang Shen, Jiang Cheng's strength has already posed a great threat to our Li clan."
Li Changqing said that after he did something to Jiang Cheng's family, he knew that a precarious butler in Jiang Cheng's mansion was such a powerful master, the great grandmaster, he was even given the position of a housekeeper, how many masters did Jiang Cheng have in his hands.
"Jiang Cheng's strength has surpassed the Li family now, doesn't the imperial grandfather know?"
"There is immortality..."
"Grandpa Changsheng is just an ordinary inner disciple of the Tianlan Sect, he has not yet reached the Cave Xuan Realm at the age of more than a hundred years, his potential has been exhausted, and the chance of breaking through the Cave Xuan Realm in this life is extremely slim."
"That's better than Jiang Cheng."
"Grandpa Huang is wrong, Jiang Cheng's apex is by no means Dong Xuan, Dong Xuan is just the beginning, in fact, now Jiang Cheng already has the strength to fight with Chen Shifeng"
"Impossible"
Li Changqing exclaimed, Chen Shifeng is a genius of the Xianmen, how old is Jiang Cheng, how can he have the strength to fight with Chen Shifeng.
"Grandpa Huang, I know Jiang Cheng better than you, his martial arts talent is so high that it is rare in the world, if I am the best immortal cultivation talent in the Great Wei Li Clan for more than sixty years, then Jiang Cheng is the best martial arts talent in the history of this world, more than three years ago, I saw Jiang Cheng, he is not even congenital, in just three or four years, from an ordinary martial artist to a martial cultivator who can kill immortals in the Divine Soul Realm, doesn't it explain things?"
Li Changqing was speechless by Li Hongsleeve, but he was still extremely worried about the future of the Li family, Jiang Cheng's talent was so demonic, but he didn't deal with the Li family, what could the Li family do.
"Grandpa Huang, you're old, let go of the power of your hands"
"Red Sleeves, you..."
"Grandpa Huang, don't blame the red sleeves, I'm doing this for the good of the Li family"
"Red sleeves, do you want to give the country to others, do you know what price our Li family has paid for this country?"
"I know, I know everything, you told me a lot when you were a child, but it is precisely because of this that you older generation need to give way to the younger ones"
"But without resources, how can the younger generation grow up?"
"The resources of Dawei are not just those dozen mines, why should they lose big because of small things"
"Red Sleeves..."
"Grandpa Huang, I don't want to say anything more to you, in a few days, you can go back to Li County, go back to live in the old age"
"Hehe, Red Sleeves, you really have stiff wings"
"That's right, tell Grandpa Huang a secret, I'm in the Divine Soul Realm now"
"What"
Li Changqing didn't hear it clearly all of a sudden, Li Hongsleeve is in the Divine Soul Realm, how could it be, didn't the Immortal Gate block the exercises?
"You heard it right, I am in the Divine Soul Realm, the exercises were sent by Jiang Cheng, you all underestimate Jiang Cheng too much, now our Li clan has no way out, either be strong to the end, or be exterminated by the Xianmen, we are already tied to Jiang Cheng, we can no longer separate, only by cooperating, we can finally get rid of the clamps of the Xianmen"
"I..."
Li Changqing was speechless for a while, the changes of the Li family for decades appeared in his mind, the Li family took refuge in the Xianmen and gained power, the Li family endured humiliation and burden, and the Li family hibernate for decades, at this moment, all turned into a sigh from Li Changqing.
At this moment, he felt that he was old, he thought that he had a very tight control over Yongdu City, but the fact was slapping him in the face, Jiang Cheng rose under his nose, and Li Hongsleeve also became a Divine Soul Realm immortal without saying a word, he didn't know all this.
"Grandpa Huang, you have worked hard for the Li family all your life, rest and rest, and the Li family will be handed over to me in the future."
"Good"
Li Changqing replied bitterly, what else could he say, Li Hongsleeve was already in the Divine Soul Realm, and this was the biggest opportunity and the biggest danger for the Li family.
·······
On the second day after Li Hongsleeve and Li Changqing talked in detail, Li Changqing left Yongdu City and returned directly to Li County, the base camp of the Li family.
And Li Changqing's gloomy exit frightened Li Chengping, Li is his biggest backer now, Li Changqing has been leveled, he can't jump anymore, Li Chengping withdrew all his strength, closed the door, Yang Shen looked for several opportunities, but failed to kill him.
"The Li clan of the imperial family has withdrawn the strength of various places, Zhao Ziming and Xiao Mo's actions are going very well, Li Chengping's old troops have been cleaned, and now they are looking for new collaborators, Jiang Cheng, it is time for us to act"
After a few days, the power of the Li clan began to shrink, and the people sent out by Jiang Cheng moved smoothly, and no one even competed with the Tsing Yi Guard, and the nobles and civil officials were all watching.
"Yes, Du Wen will be responsible for this matter, starting tomorrow, we will transfer capable people to set up the Tsing Yi Wei Supervision Department to supervise the inside of Tsing Yi Wei"
"My lord, how is this inspector going to act?"
"Tsing Yi Wei before, all revoked, I ignore it, no matter how much money you are greedy for, how much money you collect, I will not care, do not pursue, from this month, Tsing Yi Wei from the command of the same knowledge to the bottom of the wrestlers, every month will be adjusted, according to the level to adjust, at least double the subsidy, the requirement is not allowed to embezzle money, including those who patrol the streets, and are not allowed to collect money from small stall vendors, not allowed to eat without paying.
The Supervision Department will be responsible for the work of honesty in the future, whoever dares to stretch out his hand will die, regardless of the situation, including my father, if he is caught in the embezzlement, he will have to pick up the official uniform for ten taels of silver, go to prison for one hundred taels of silver, and exile for more than one hundred taels of silver, and the maximum beheading, and the amount below ten taels of silver will be accumulated."
"Wouldn't this be too strict?"
"This is still a preliminary plan, it will be more strict in the future, my money is not easy to get, I give them half a month to think about it, if they think I am too strict, I will accept their resignation"
Jiang Cheng said that if he wants to control the imperial court and clean up the officials, he must be tough, if Tsing Yi Wei is corrupt, what face does he have to ask others to be honest, so Tsing Yi Wei must be overkill.
"Yes, my lord"
"In addition, the promotion channel of Tsing Yi Wei should also be changed, you who are the chief don't think that you are not greedy, but also put an end to the corruption of the people below, once the people below are found, the top boss will be reprimanded, once the number is too much, you must be dismissed from office and even questioned, in short, in the future, the promotion of Tsing Yi Wei officials must be linked to integrity"
"Yes"
Du Wen replied that Tsing Yiwei would have a hard time in the future, most people are used to collecting money, and I don't know if they can change it.
"Master Jiang, if there are too many corrupt people, you can't arrest them all."
"Why can't you arrest them, I take so much silver to support them, they don't do it, some people do it, and the Fusi of the four towns is caught, so they are promoted from hundreds of households and thousands of households in various places, and if they can't mention people, they will openly recruit from the people, and they are afraid that no one will be an official?"
Jiang Cheng sneered, he was not afraid of Tsing Yiwei's people playing strikes, this is not a company, but a power organization, if he opens his mouth, there will be more people.
"Okay, what about the preparation of the local pacification division?"
"Let's do it together, the local Zhenfu Division will also be completed within a month, first build the yamen of the local Zhenfu Division, and wait until Du Wen straightens out the affairs of Yongdu City, and then check the local inventory, within half a year, I want to reverse the atmosphere of Tsing Yi Wei, and from next year, I will start with hundreds of officials"
Jiang Cheng said that he was not in a hurry, first get rid of the Qingyi Guard of Yongdu City, and then extend it to the locality, and the pacification divisions in various places should also be established, and there were seven or eight more pacification divisions, but if there were seven or eight more pacification envoys, he would not believe it, and some people would not be moved.
"The plan is good, but our money has not yet arrived, and I am afraid that we will not be able to pay so much."
"It doesn't matter, Tsing Yiwei's public account will be spent first, and Li Chengping's industries will have output within two or three months, and the silver in the public account is enough to support two or three months."
Jiang Cheng said that each yamen of the Great Wei Dynasty has its own small treasury, and Tsing Yiwei is the same, and his reward is not only silver, even if he does not increase his salary, there will be people who work hard, and those official positions are the biggest temptation.
"Yes, Master Jiang"
"You will be very busy during this time, so let's go and prepare separately, especially Du Wen's Supervision Department, don't be greedy yourself."
"Don't dare"
"I don't care if you dare or not, anyway, once someone from the Supervision Department is corrupt and committed, the crime will be increased by one degree."
"Yes, my lord"
"Du Wen, you and I have known each other for many years, and the affair is not your end, you have many sons, and there is more than one place to ask the Immortal Pavilion, do you understand what I mean?"
"Xia Guan understands that Du Wen will never live up to the expectations of adults"
Du Wen hurriedly saluted and said, this is Jiang Cheng's reuse of him, and it is also a test, as long as he does this well, he will definitely be promoted, maybe he will have the opportunity to sit and command Tongzhi, and the rest of his sons will also have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Pavilion.
This made Du Wen suddenly full of motivation, and he was not interested in getting promoted to make a fortune, but if he could send his children and grandchildren into the immortal gate, that would be the biggest motivation.
After everyone dispersed, Jiang Cheng found Jiang Yong as soon as possible, asked him to unload most of his affairs, go to some idle posts, and strictly ordered him not to collect black money anymore, otherwise Jiang Cheng would really use him to kill chickens and monkeys.
"Erlang, I'm almost done, and I'll never take any more money"
Jiang Yong immediately said that he was a prince, and he had made a lot of money, so naturally he would not demolish the stage for his son.
