Chapter 618 Rectify the Officials
This city lord is also a shrewd person, he did not just ask Zhuo Yun to save Luoyang City, but directly rose to the perspective of the Tang Dynasty and the human race, which accounted for the great righteousness, Zhuo Yun, as a human race, naturally would not refuse.
Zhuo Yun nodded, he naturally had such a plan, otherwise he would not have come to see the city lord of Luoyang City and inform him of his strength.
Of course, Zhuo Yun has also investigated this city lord, although there are some minor problems, but this is the unspoken rule of being an official, and it does not affect the big aspects, at least it is reasonable on the whole.
The city lord is still loyal to Datang, and he has not done anything to collude with foreign races, nor has he done anything to oppress the people, which is why Zhuo Yun chose him.
If the city lord also defected to the gang, or colluded with the gang and the alien race, Zhuo Yun would be the first to kill him, after all, he hated such a person the most.
This city lord is the same as Liu Jin of Luyang City, although he has no great ambitions, he has not made mistakes in terms of major rights and wrongs, from this point of view, the Tang officials are generally good, but their strength is not good.
Zhuo Yun nodded: "Okay, then you do what I say, as for the matter of killing the enemy, just leave it to me." ”
The city lord clenched his fists: "If your lord has any orders, just say, I will fully cooperate." ”
"The first step is to gather all the people in the Luoyang Mansion."
Zhuo Yun arranged, his idea is very simple, since he wants to implement system management, he must first rectify from the government, and he must single out all the defectors, tigers, and evildoers within the government, and rectify the government team, leaving only a clean team.
The city lord was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have guessed the purpose of Zhuo Yun's doing, but he hesitated: "My lord, nine out of ten in the official team have problems, if this is done, I am afraid that the official team will collapse and no one will manage it." ”
Zhuo Yun smiled: "What, are you managing it well now?" ”
The city lord hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, in fact, he was selfish, although these colleagues were evil now, but it was not like this before, they were all threatened or tempted, after all, everyone was a colleague, he didn't want to do too much.
Zhuo Yun said in a deep voice: "In troubled times, you need to use heavy canons, and I am afraid it is difficult to achieve great things with a benevolent heart." ”
The city lord nodded: "My lord, I understand, I'm going to gather people over." ”
Zhuo Yun also explained: "At the specified time, anyone who can't arrive on time will be dismissed and never hired." ”
The city lord nodded, turned around and left, and after about an hour, the gate of the city lord's mansion was already full of officials at all levels, and even the soldiers guarding the city were all called over.
Everyone was talking, and they didn't know what the purpose of the city lord suddenly summoned everyone over, but it was a major decision to announce.
Among them were several soldiers who blackmailed Zhuo Yun at the city gate, Zhuo Yun sat in the city lord's mansion and did not go outside, but he knew the situation outside well.
The official power of Luoyang City is still very strong, there are nearly a thousand people here, after all, Luoyang is one of several big cities in the Tang Dynasty, it is normal to have such an official scale, and Luyang is far worse than Luoyang.
The city lord came to Zhuo Yun: "My lord, the Luoyang City official should have 1,389 people, but it is actually 832 people. ”
Zhuo Yun nodded: "Let's go, let's go outside." ”
The city lord followed Zhuo Yun and came outside, standing in front of the officials, and the officials saw that the city lord was respectful to a young man, and they all showed doubts, who is this person, is he here to replace the city lord, and the background is vast, so the city lord is like this.
Only a few soldiers who had seen Zhuo Yun at the gate of the city were surprised, what they were surprised was not Zhuo Yun's identity, in their opinion, they could make the city lord respectful, this person must have been sent by the imperial capital Chang'an, and it should be some official eunuch children of the imperial capital.
They were surprised that Zhuo Yun was still alive, which made them a little puzzled, could it be that the gang didn't solve this person, no wonder their reward never came down.
However, a few soldiers are not worried, because they are gang members, and no matter how powerful the people in the imperial capital are, it is useless, if they don't want you to live, they can solve it at any time.
The city lord looked at Zhuo Yun, and Zhuo Yun shook his head slightly: "You first announce the treatment of those who don't come!" ”
The city lord nodded, his eyes swept over the officials, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's gather today, one is to introduce Lord Zhuo Yun to everyone, and the second is to test the discipline and style of the official team. ”
"I feel very relieved to see so many people coming, which shows that everyone's discipline is still guaranteed, and everyone still looks up to me as the city lord."
Someone below disdainfully: "Hmph, what you said is crazy, if it weren't for bad luck, in order to mix this bit of money, who wants to come, who will put you in their eyes." ”
"Who said no, really take yourself seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Luoyang's finances have not stopped, the city lord would have been replaced a long time ago."
The city lord naturally heard the discussion below, but he had no choice but to go in and out of his left ear, but he didn't hear it.
"Everyone's performance is good, but there are still some people who don't take Datang in their eyes, don't take me, the city lord, in their eyes, they didn't arrive today, since that's the case, then they won't need it in the future, Yulu has stopped, the official hat has been taken off, and it won't be used in the future."
As soon as he said this, there was a lot of discussion below, and many officials showed their incredibleness, not understanding what confidence the city lord had to dare to say such cruel words.
Anyone who didn't come was a person with roots, and they all had certain positions in various gangs in Luoyang City, so they ignored the city lord's summons.
The city lord dared to expel them directly, was this an intention to start a war with aliens and gangs? Isn't he afraid that his head will not be protected?
The city lord was expressionless, and after announcing his decision, he stood behind Zhuo Yun again: "My lord, please!" ”
Zhuo Yun's gaze swept over the many officials, and those who caught his eyes were either disdainful or had nothing to do with him, and none of them listened carefully.
He smiled lightly and said, "Before I make some decisions, I want to tell you a little story. ”
"I came to Luoyang City, when I entered the city gate, I was asked by several guards to pay a large amount of money to enter the city, and only once, and then I learned that when I entered the city, I had to pay the entrance fee, and when I went out of the city, I wanted to ask, the regulations of the Tang Dynasty required the payment of these fees, is this intended to force the people to death?"
"A few of you explain to me, is this the rule of Datang, or your own rules?" Zhuo Yun pointed to a few soldiers and asked in a cold voice.
These soldiers didn't care at all, and in the face of Zhuo Yun's question, they smiled and said: "Boy, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, I can tell you that Datang does not have this regulation, this is the regulation of our Ten Thousand Gang of Ten Thousand People, why do you want to question the regulations of the Ten Thousand Gang of Ten Thousand People?" ”
