Walking a distance into the depths of the academy, you will arrive at the places where the various schools of study are located.

The Mojia School Palace looks very simple in style, with four big characters hanging at the door, on the left is 'Love', and on the right is 'Non-Attack' - representing the Mohist philosophy of learning.

The people who came in and out of this school palace were all dressed in coarse cloth clothes - simple food and clothing, which was also one of the characteristics of Mojia students.

Xiong Wuliang nodded: "The talents cultivated by the Mo family are diligent, thrifty and pragmatic, and have a view of the overall situation...... It really works. ”

……

Further on, there is the Legalist Academy.

Since entering the Warring States period, Legalism has produced several examples of changing the law to strengthen the country, so that this school has been touted and has flourished unprecedentedly.

Qu Yuan also craned his neck excitedly - in his plan to change the law, these Legalist students would become Qu Yuan's right-hand men in implementing the new law.

……

After visiting the school palaces one by one, Xiong Wuliang was also greatly amazed - the prosperity of Quyang Academy now made him, the founder, unexpected.

It can only be said that the timing of the dissipation of the Jixia School Palace is too good!

It just so happened that the academy had just been established, and there was a battle of the coalition forces...... The Jixia School Palace was separated due to the war, and Quyang Academy offered a generous treatment in a timely manner...... It is equivalent to bringing the prestigious academic holy place of Qi Guoji's School Palace to Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom.

Refreshing!

For example, although Mo, Fa, Dao, Confucianism and other schools have their own advantages and disadvantages, the students they teach must be more than enough to serve as grassroots officials.

As for the soldiers and farmers, they are talents that all the lords of the Warring States World are looking forward to.

For example, the fortune-telling sticks of the Yin-Yang family also have a role - you can look at the stars, and if you can figure out the law of the weather, you can also contribute to the fiefdom.

After the visit, Qu Yuan became excited: "Now that the 'Academy Order' has been a great success, and the Academy has thousands of students, it can completely get rid of the monopoly of local clans on official positions!" ”

"In addition, the lord returned victorious, and the power of great victory...... It's a good opportunity to implement the next law change decree! ”

Xiong Wuliang arched his hand: "I want to hear it!" ”

Qu Yuan said in a deep voice: "The second decree is the 'Fraud Investigation Order'!" ”

"From now on, we will start to rectify the rule of officials!"

"Like the corrupt officials who extorted merchants and accepted bribes that the lord encountered before, they must all be severely punished."

"It's just...... How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of these people is still quite tricky...... The fiefdom was rich, and the people had surplus food in their homes, even if the local officials exploited a little, they would not be unable to survive. Even if the lord encourages the people to report it, I am afraid it will have little effect. ”

Xiong Wuliang nodded.

Truly.

When ordinary people can still live, they are often reluctant to show their faces.

This is especially true of reporting corrupt officials.

The local officials are all from the local wealthy clans, which have often been entrenched in the local area for decades or even hundreds of years, and have accumulated a deep prestige in the hearts of the people, even more so than the government.

If it weren't for the last resort, which common people would dare to offend these big clans?

Qu Yuanzheng felt troubled, but Xiong Wuliang suddenly smiled: "Qu Zi doesn't have to worry - the matter of searching for evidence of corruption among officials is on Benhou." ”

Xiong Wuliang has Qing Yuwei, who specializes in intelligence work, and can listen to information even in the army...... Dealing with these lax little families is really a knife to kill chickens.

……

In mid-August, Xiong Wuliang returned to the fiefdom.

And Quyang Yin Quyuan launched the second decree after being silent for more than half a year - the cheating order!

From today onwards, we will strictly investigate corruption and bribery of officials.

Civilians are encouraged to report and rewarded after verification!

The knight on a fast horse held a large bundle of paper rolls, galloped out of the Quyang Marquis's Mansion, ran out of Quyang City, and went straight to Ping'a, Shansang, and Zhongli......

The new decree was posted on the gates of each county town, guarded by special personnel, and preached aloud to those who could not read.

"The lord is going to get rid of the corrupts?"

"Good! It's long overdue to get rid of these corrupt officials! ”

"Anyway, the former Ziping clan of Ping'a County, even our little lord dared to blackmail at the beginning, what else can't they do?"

……

The people gathered at the gates of the city, pointing at the sign and whispering to it.

The poor people at the bottom have been suffering from corrupt officials for a long time!

These people are all from wealthy families, and they are often colluded with the local government - the common people usually dare not provoke, so they can only honestly accept their exploitation.

In recent years, the days in the fiefdom have become prosperous, and every household has some surplus money in their hands.

If this had been placed in the past, there would have been many examples of being exploited by officials and ruining their families.

"Do you want us to expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials? And a big reward? It's so easy to get the money! Just the ...... among us," a straightforward man blurted out.

Immediately, someone grabbed him and covered the big man's mouth: "Housheng, you don't want to die?!" ”

"Don't look at the words of the lord......"

"Will these officials be punished completely? If you just fine some money, don't you have to take revenge back afterwards? ”

"Even if these reported officials are all swept to the end, in the end, it will be their family members who will fill the vacancy."

"When the time comes, won't you have to accept their jurisdiction?"

"You dare to report their people, you don't want to die?"

The honest man was dumbfounded, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, and he bowed his hand again and again: "Thank you for your advice...... Teachable, teachable! ”

Although the people have been exploiting for a long time, they have questioned the strength of cracking down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and second, they are worried about their retaliation afterwards.

Although there were cheers, but the footsteps were like being poured with lead, and no one dared to 'talk nonsense', let alone report it.

Those onlookers from other places were even more afraid of the local snakes, and although they celebrated the new decree, they did not dare to make a mistake.

Anyway, this Quyang County is very rich, with a dazzling array of goods and low prices...... Even if you are ruthlessly exploited by the officials, you can still make money.

Who dares to provoke those local tycoons who eat people without spitting out bones and collude up and down?

In the state of Chu, the local clan power is very strong.

At this moment, I saw a high-flying man in yellow leading three or five domestic servants to come, and the domestic servants unceremoniously squeezed a gap in the crowd, and the people all shrank back, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

The man in yellow approached and looked at the sign at the gate.

After a while, his face changed greatly!

"Go home now! Report this to your father! The man in yellow greeted and walked away with the slaves.

Only then did the people dare to speak—someone spat on the ground in resentment: "What east! ”

Some people also said with awe: "This is the young patriarch of our largest family north of Huaishui - Guo Xiu!" ”

"The Guo family is the largest wealthy family in Huaibei! His family is in Shansang County! ”

"I heard that the Guo family has high-ranking officials in the court, and even the county Yin doesn't dare to provoke easily."

"It seems that there is going to be a battle between the open and the dark!"
