Although Du Ji was once only a gong cao of Jingzhao, he received a county order.

At the time of the prefectural order, there was a backlog of prisoners and cases in the county jail.

In a very short period of time, Du Ji cleared the backlog of cases.

The cleared cases may not be very fair, but they are indeed cleared, but there may be a little more unjust cases.

Moreover, most of these unjust cases involving wealthy families are the first to suffer the people.

It's not that Du Ji is a soft persimmon, because he was just a county order at that time, even if he betrayed those people and was guilty, what could he do?

Du Ji looked up at Jia Xu, a little puzzled, but soon Du Ji reacted.

"The family oppresses the people, covering a lot of land of thousands of tons, but many hidden households do not pay taxes, and kill the family, I think about it every day."

Jia Xu looked at Du Ji with a smile, and then spoke.

"Give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, go and kill a few rich and unkind wealthy families for me to see."

When Lin Mu was in Luoyang, he commanded Jia Xu to kill a lot of local wealthy families, and even many families began to migrate.

Now that Chang'an has been defeated, if he still relies on the family to govern, Lin Mu is only afraid that this Chang'an will one day come out under the banner of the Qing monarch.

Therefore, the people who come to govern cannot be children of the family, but they can only be contrary to the rights and interests of other families, and Du Ji is this excellent chess piece, with skill, resourcefulness, and ruthlessness.

Such a person Lin Mu naturally wants to pull in the car.

Du Ji wanted to say something, but quickly shut his mouth.

When Du Ji returned home, the divine decree arrived.

The others didn't hear clearly, only one sentence.

"Du Ji is the ...... of Jing Zhaoyin"

Jing Zhaoyin, with a rank of two thousand stones, compared to Du Ji's original official position, this position is too important.

Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Feng Xu and Right Fufeng are called Sanfu, and Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the mayor of Chang'an City, this position is not insignificant.

After receiving the holy decree, a general stood in front of Du Ji.

"Lord Jingzhao Yin Du, the last general will be ordered by His Majesty to come and wait for the dispatch."

"What do you call a general?"

"The last general, Huaxiong."

………

After March, the imperial army began to return to Beijing.

At this time, the problem of displaced people near Chang'an had been solved, and the population of Chang'an had recovered to 300,000.

Chang'an has been a rich place since ancient times, and most of the big families have taken root here.

These big clans bought land in Chang'an, and so much land for them to grow by themselves will definitely not be able to grow it.

So they began to accept tenants, who were said to be tenants, but in fact they were no different from serfs.

The most important thing is that these people are not on the roster of the imperial court.

In this way, these wealthy families who accept tenants can pay less tax.

This kind of thing has been there since the Western Han Dynasty, and it is even more serious now.

Hidden households even accounted for as much as half of the number of people counted by the imperial court.

And now the population around Chang'an has finally been counted.

"Do it well, don't be afraid, there is something still going on, the sky can't fall!"

Lin Mu looked at Du Ji, who was standing on the side of the road with a worried face, and said to Du Ji with a smile.

Du Ji naturally knew that the sky would not fall, and he was afraid that he would die in an accident.

In the past three months, Du Ji has killed many wealthy families, and the strength of these people is intertwined, even if they kill more, they can't kill them cleanly.

What's more, there are some families who saw him coming, and they simply confessed their crimes, and he had no reason to kill these families.

But now Lin Mu is going to leave with the army, although he has left 20,000 troops to guard the pass, but Du Ji is really afraid.

Killing so many people, what if someone takes revenge?

Du Ji's worries are actually reasonable, even Sun Ce, the later Jiangdong overlord, was not assassinated.

Seeing Du Ji's frightened face, Lin Mu smiled and waved his hand, and soon a group of cavalry ran out from the side.

This group of cavalry seemed to have known about it for a long time, and silently followed behind Du Ji.

Only then did Du Ji put his mind at ease and watched the army go away.

How could Lin Mu just leave, Du Ji himself is also one of the families, if Du Ji joins forces with other families to play some kind of spy, then the joke will be big.

It's better to let a team of soldiers follow Du Ji, and once Du Ji has anything abnormal, kill Du Ji directly.

But if Du Ji is at ease, he will naturally be safe.

Lin Mu's murderous intent is not heavy.

Now there is one more territory under the control of the imperial court, but Lin Mu finds that he seems to be a little understaffed.

Although there were still some officials in the court, most of them were already old.

Most of these old ministers were left over from the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, there have been countless monks in the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and it stands to reason that it should be enough.

But now because of the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, a group of people died, and a group of them were killed by Dong Zhuo.

Later, a group of people were killed by Lin Mu, and Jia Xu cleaned up the family and ran away again, which led to the lack of manpower now.

And now the army of the imperial court is not enough at all, and there is no danger to defend in the plain of Luoyang.

In addition, Luoyang has been plagued several times, and the local people are almost not enough, let alone conscription.

It is easy for Lin Mu to take down the territory, but it is much more difficult to defend the territory, after all, it is impossible for Lin Mu to defend it himself.

And there are few people in the court who can fight, and now there are only a few veterans left who don't have a long life.

What should I do now, Lin Mu fell into thought.

…………

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Jia Xu looked at the letter in his hand.

"Exams."

"Exams?"

Jia Xu glanced at Lin Mu a little strangely, Jia Xu naturally knew about the exam, but he didn't know what Lin Mu was doing with this.

"Do you think that if you call the world's scholars to test in this volume, if you get a high score, you can enter the office, I call it the imperial examination, what do you think?"

Jia Xu looked up at Lin Mu, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

Dahan has always had only one way to become an official.

That is the recommendation, it is this system that makes the family inexhaustible, and once there is a little opportunity, it will resurge.

The system of recommending this is very simple, that is, I see that you are very filial, so go to the official, or I see that you are very talented, so go to be an official.

In this way, they became officials, and some families would recommend each other in order to avoid being too blatant and being seen as having a bad reputation.

The Li family recommended the son of the Wang family to be filial, and the Wang family recommended the grandson of the Li family to be talented.

Then in the future, if these two families have this kind of relationship, they will definitely be closely connected.

Politically become an ally and take the power of the imperial court into their own hands.

The imperial examination is different, once the imperial examination is admitted, then the right to speak will no longer be in the hands of those families, and the right to speak will be returned to the hands of the imperial court.

Such a plan will definitely provoke a rebellion from the family, and it may even be a direct rebellion.

Family...... Oh, the families near Luoyang are all held down, that's fine.
