252 Collective resignations
Qu Yuan said with a smile: "As long as these officials admit the evidence of their crimes, as for their attitude, it doesn't matter. β
Qu Yuan said as he stared at Shen Dao with a sneaky eye.
After just a few days of coexistence, Qu Yuan also realized that he was very talentedβworthy of being the grandmaster of the Legalist school.
If it were possible......
We Qu Yuan usually have a heavy burden on our bodies!
If it's good in peacetime, at least there's a summoner who can work with you...... If there is a war, it will take several months for Zhao Slip to follow Xiong Wuliang...... The donkey of the production team can't be called like this!
There is an urgent need to recruit new employees and share the responsibility!
He was so cautious that he didn't notice Qu Yuan's ill intentions, and sighed softly in place: "The strength of the local clans in the Chu State is really beyond your expectations. β
At this moment, Shen is already a little lost.
Just a few days ago, he watched Xiong Wuliang and Qu Yuan join forces in the academy to crack down on corruption in their fiefdoms, apparently following the example of the pioneers of the reform of the law to implement the reform of the law to eliminate the malpractices of officials.
At that time, Shen was very excited-
Facts will once again prove that in this troubled era, only my Legalist doctrine is the world's most prominent learning!
Quyang Hou Xiong Wuliang, a general who has established a prestigious reputation on the battlefield, if he is equipped with the logistics and mobilization capabilities of the Qin State...... So how much of a possibility will he create?
Reform!
The state of Chu covers an area of thousands of miles and has tens of millions of people...... The only drawback is that the bureaucratic system is too backward and the local clans have too much power - the king of Chu is called the Great King, but in fact he is more like the leader of a federation.
Whether it's pushing policy or waging war, there is always an opposition in the country that is dragging its feet.
If one day it can really promote the centralization of power and reform in the entire Chu State, then how strong will this bloated and huge country be?
Thinking of this, I am very excited!
Once the law change in the Chu State is successful, the Chu State will be unstoppable!
Show the corrupt Confucians of Confucianism, what is the real science of governing the world and strengthening the country!
What saints, what morals, what personal cultivation do you preach there all day long...... What is the use of the general trend of the world?
Only I, the Legalist, can raise a fire in this troubled night and prove my worth!
With such beautiful expectations, he was so cautious that he put down all the affairs in his hand and ran from the academy to Shansang County, the place where the Chu State was on the front line of the law change.
Being able to witness and even participate in the reform of a big country is the dream of every Legalist student in his life!
But today...... I was so cautious that I was a little disheartened.
The state of Chu is worthy of being a powerful country with a difficult sunset.
The stubbornness and unity of the clan forces in this place are really beyond the imagination of cautious people.
Don't say that the fantasy of 'changing the law in the entire Chu State to strengthen the country', even the current 'implementing the law change in the four counties under the rule of the Marquis of Quyang', is already full of obstacles.
Look at these arrested corrupt officials, their arrogance is outrageous!
It's really fearless!
Shen also understood where their arrogance lay - it was nothing more than to unite and fight against Quyang Hou together.
And to be honest, I didn't think of any way to break free from this control.
"It's difficult for Chu to change the law!" He sighed cautiously and hung his head.
"If it is not my expectation, the officials of these big clans will definitely resign collectively to blackmail the Marquis of Quyang."
"When the time comes, we will really release these corrupt officials back!"
Cautious enough to say this, I sighed for a long time, and I was helpless!
For a Legalist master, the most painful thing is to watch a sinner who violates the law of the country go unpunished...... And this number is in the hundreds......
Qu Yuan looked at the cautious and sad face, and couldn't help but smile and say nothing.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered how Xiong Wuliang had pulled Huang Xie onto the thief ship...... Make a plan now!
"Be cautious, it's better for you and me to gamble on a game......" Qu Yuan showed a simple and reliable honest smile......
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the next day, a powerful news came out!
In the four counties of Quyang, Ping'a, Shansang, and Zhongli, there were nearly 700 officials, all of whom submitted their resignations almost at the same time!
Counting the more than 300 corrupt officials arrested in the Shansang County prison -- it is equivalent to nearly 1,000 officials picking their picks.
Roughly three-quarters of the total number of bureaucrats in the fiefdom.
Although most of them are grassroots officials...... But it also paralyzed the entire fiefdom in an instant!
And these resignation officials submitted almost exactly the same resignation - a thin blank piece of paper with only three words on it-
'Resignation'.
Among them, the meaning of the demonstration to Xiong Wuliang is obvious!
The people of Li in the four counties couldn't help but sigh one after another-
"I didn't expect the sovereign's fraud check order to cause such a big turmoil."
Someone said indignantly: "Hmph! They are all corrupt officials! It's also a good thing to roll together! β
More people shook their heads silently - it was a moment of relief to let these people get out...... But how to make up for the gap of thousands of officials?
I'm afraid that the news of Quyang Hou's compromise will come out soon......
β¦β¦
Guo Mansion.
Now that the Guo Mansion has been renovated, the patriarchs of all ethnic groups gathered in the hall, laughing and laughing.
The original joy and arrogance have been restored!
Xiong Wuliang, you can't think of this trick, right?
You idiot, you have offended everyone at the same time.
Let's strike together, dumbfounded, right?
"Patriarch Guo is clever! I expected that Xiong Wuliang would soon bear the guilt of Jing and come to bow his head to us and admit his mistake! β
"That's right! Guo's little son will be able to be released back soon. β
"Put it back? Hum! Let Xiong Wuliang personally whip the car and send it back with his bronze car! β
ββ¦β¦ It's all thanks to the strategy of Patriarch Guo! β
Guo Huai sat on the main seat, listening to everyone's praise, and couldn't help but laugh.
When everyone gradually quieted down, Guo Huai slowly raised the wine lord and invited everyone with a smile: "Come, drink this lord!" β
Everyone roared and drank a handful of wine in unison.
Guo Huai: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have all seen how powerful we can be when we are united. β
"That Xiong Wuliang is a royal bloodline, a fierce general, and a marquis of military merits...... What a view? At this time, don't you also want to bow your head and beg for peace with us? β
"In the future, we will continue to work together to occupy the fertile soil of the four counties!"
Everyone brushed and said: "We all look forward to the head of the Guo patriarch!" β
"That's right! What the old patriarch tells us to do, we will do! β
Guo Huai smiled leisurely: "Since that's the case, then listen to me-"
"Xiong Wuliang will definitely come to ask for forgiveness from us...... Then you will not need to humiliate him. β
"After all, he is the Marquis of Quyang, the lord of this fiefdom - humiliating him can certainly get a momentary refreshment and let out a bad breath, but it is really unnecessary."
"Anyway, he has lost his reputation and face......"
"I'm going to get some benefits, it's the right thing!"
The patriarchs looked at each other.
Guo Huai smiled and was tempting: "I heard that Quyang Commercial Workshop and Ping'a Commercial Port ...... All day by day! Guo's eyes were really red, and he ......"
"When Xiong Wuliang begs for peace, the condition of our wait is to let Xiong Wuliang hand over Quyang Commercial Square and Ping'a Commercial Port free of charge! Run by our clans! β
