I've heard of things like the fire dragon burning the warehouse and the Yin soldiers borrowing grain before, Wang Che has only seen it in the information of the royal family, but he didn't expect it to be used by those people on the salt field this time.

The Jiezhou salt factory only burned the account warehouse, and the salt factory was not damaged much, and it could be reproduced soon after repair, but the Bashujing salt was different. He didn't expect those people to be so mad that they would destroy the salt well.

Unlike sea salt and pond salt, well salt is pumped up by drilling wells and then boiling. Those people smashed the well, and it would take at least a month or two to fix it.

The imperial army was dispatched, and soon the salt pond and salt well were recaptured. The barbarians who were in rebellion wanted to defend the city, but these barbarians overestimated their own strength, and the army of Daqian was dispatched, and it only took one day to successfully capture the city.

The imperial army was stationed in Jiezhou, and began to liquidate the time of Jiezhou Yanchi, and all the officialdom of Jiezhou was taken down, and all the nobles and heroes were locked up.

Since these people don't play according to the rules, don't blame the court for not following the rules.

All the officials in Jiezhou were taken down, and then the inventory began. No evidence? Raid the house first, and then find it. As for some of these really innocent people, it's easy to do, just let them go, but according to the temperament of those officials, nobles, and heroes, how many people are innocent?

These people dare to use the fire dragon to burn the warehouse to destroy the evidence, so don't blame the fierceness of the court's follow-up accounting.

Those officials themselves don't say it, but the servants in the house will not resist to the death, and someone will always say it, not to mention that according to the unscrupulous practices of these people, there is too much evidence left.

Wang Che directly took down all these people in the name of counterinsurgency, and after the trial, those who should be killed were directly killed, and those who should be exiled were exiled. A large number of officials in the county seat of Jiezhou were beheaded.

Then the head was hung on the head of the city of Jiezhou to show the public, the breeze blew, and dozens of heads like gourds were lined up and shook on the city wall. The soldiers at the gate were shouting about the sins of these men.

All the people who passed by the gate were terrified at the sight of the dozens of hideous-looking and terrifying heads. And these dozens of heads are still the first batch, and then there will be a second batch and a third batch.

Wang Che specially issued an order this time, and after these beheadings, they would be sent to various states and counties to be hung for public display. Since the law cannot deter those noble officials from being powerful, then use human heads to deter them.

Now the strength of the royal family is not at all what those nobles, heroes, and officials can fight against, since you dare to come unruly, then don't blame the court for not following the rules.

The salt pond in Jiezhou was solved as quickly as possible, and the whole of Jiezhou was completely cleaned up. Then the imperial court began to send officials to take up official positions and reform the salt works.

It's just that at this time, Wang Che suddenly found that the number of officials was a little insufficient. It's not that those people don't want to be officials, it's that there are not enough officials in the real sense.

Since Wang Che ascended the throne, there was first a major case in Guanzhong involving hundreds of officials, followed by the Yancheng Yanchi case, and now the Jiezhou Yanchi case, the least of these cases involved dozens of people, adding up to four or five hundred officials who were investigated, plus there was also the Bashu case that had not yet been concluded, and the imperial court passed the examination of no more than 100 people every time the palace was assessed.

There are so many people missing at once, even if there are reserve officials in the imperial court, it will be difficult to make up for a while.

Seeing this situation, Wang Che had to order all the school palaces to start the examination in advance, and let the school palaces send outstanding scholars to the Luoyang School Palace for an assessment in advance.

After the state and county school palaces got the edict, they were ecstatic, and hurriedly gathered the scholars in the school palace, and then conducted the assessment, and even many private academies around the country also went to the state and county school palaces to assess, and then went to the Luoyang school palace together after passing the assessment.

Wang Che had already opened Enke once, and most of the scholars in the palace were withdrawn, and this time he could only transfer the scholars of the state and county. It's just that Wang Che didn't realize that this kind of behavior of transferring a large number of scholars from all over the country as officials would also make the families of officials in various places strong and powerful quickly.

However, even if Wang Che realized this, there was nothing he could do to change anything.

Even though the imperial court has many ways to help ordinary people study, until now, there are very few scholars who are really born at the bottom. After all, there are too few ordinary people who have the money to study.

Moreover, those local heroes, official families, and nobles can study without distractions, can afford to hire teachers to teach, have enough books at home, and even have seniors to guide them, but what do those ordinary people have? What can they compare to?

In real history, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was promoted, but how many people were really able to come out of the way were civilians? It was not until a few hundred years later, when printing and papermaking became widely available, that the price of books dropped dramatically.

Only ordinary people can go further in the imperial examination, and more and more civilians will be able to enter the political arena.

It's just a pity that with the passage of time, even if it is a way to take the imperial examination, there will be a large number of imperial examination families. Jiangxi in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty is a typical example of this.

Although there was a shortage of officials in the imperial court, Wang Che did not stop censoring and reforming the salt works. The Qidi Salt Farm and the Hexi Salt Pond are also advancing in this situation.

Of course, although there are also problems in Qidi Changlu Salt Farm and Hexi Salt Pond, these people immediately coaxed after seeing the imperial court's fierce solution to the problem of Jiezhou Salt Pond and Bazhong Well Salt.

If you don't resist, you will die, and the rest of the family will still have a chance to live, although you will be exiled, but with the help of your relatives and friends in the past, you can also settle down, but if you resist, the whole family will die.

Unless it is those who are selfish and don't care about their family and don't care about their family, they won't die again. Moreover, the fierceness of the court also made the three clans of those people feel afraid, these people were afraid that they would have a head in their own family, so they had to work against the court, and then after provoking the court, they were directly connected by the court.

At that time, they will be too wronged, so even if those people want to do something, they will be stopped by their own three clans.

So Wang Che found that although there were also cases in Qidi Changlu Salt Farm and Hexi Qingyan Salt Pond, they were no longer as serious as Xie Zhou and Bazhong.

And the imperial court did not go on a killing spree again, and still tried in accordance with the "Great Cadre Law", beheaded the main culprit, and the rest was exiled. At the same time, after cleaning up the large salt ponds in various places, other small salt farms will be better solved.

After the salt farms were cleaned up, the imperial court also began to implement the salt introduction system. On the other side, the imperial court began to settle accounts for the matter of Bazhong Yanjing.
