……

In the next few days, Sheng Hong was busy with these things, and he couldn't take care of his health, and he was busy from opening his eyes to dark like Li Qiao.

In September, the temperature plummeted to below zero, but there was no snow.

After a few days of such cold, the temperature slowly rose.

Now there is no need for Sheng Hong to go into the army, and the people spontaneously began to prepare winter supplies.

In the middle of the year, when the 50,000 army went to the border city, Sheng Hong's final reward and punishment results for the locust plague came out.

Governor Shi was not only demoted to the prefect, but also fined 50,000 taels of silver.

Those who have been stripped of their official positions are held accountable and have to pay fines of varying amounts.

Sheng Hong didn't even let go of the village chief, if there was no silver, then he would punish the field.

This is not the worst, the worst prison.

Some people who did not contribute to the extermination of locusts, for example, a Tongzhi in Dongshan Province drank alcohol when the locust plague came, and did not contribute any strength to the locust plague, so they were not only stripped of their official positions, fined silver, but also squatted in prison.

Compared with heavy penalties, the rewards are still eye-catching.

For example, Yu Zhifu was directly promoted to the governor of the three provinces.

A man who originally had no official position actively organized his neighbors to exterminate locusts during the locust plague, and was directly transferred to other places as magistrates.

Although Li Qiao didn't want a reward, Sheng Hong still praised him verbally, feeling that he had also contributed to this locust plague.

However, although the prefect of Tian performed well, the official positions above the prefect are now full, and no one moves, and Sheng Hong hopes that this kind of talent will guard the place well, so the prefect Tian will not move.

Sheng Hong asked him to receive the third grade of Yulu first, and when he had a suitable position in the future, he would definitely let him go up.

There are several people similar to the prefect of Hetian, and these talents Sheng Hong hopes that they will stay in the place to protect the local people, so he let them stand still and only let them receive high-grade Yulu.

There are also all the people of Hexi Mansion, Sheng Hong also praised it verbally, and exempted Hexi Mansion from paying taxes next spring - it's not that Sheng Hong is not generous, but the situation has not been good recently, and he can't be generous.

……

As soon as Sheng Hong's decree of reward and punishment came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see what Sheng Hong means.

Chapter 230 The reaction of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Xin Zhi asked to release Li Liang back to the village, and Li Xiaolan had a heart

Sheng Hong's reward and punishment result, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people felt that it was too exaggerated, and even the Seven Princes felt that Governor Shi had suffered an unwarranted disaster.

Governor Shi was too unlucky and too innocent.

Who could have predicted such a locust plague?

And there are only a few ways to solve the locust plague throughout the ages.

No, to be precise, there is no solution to the locust plague, and when the locust plague does come, the human struggle is of no avail and is not worth mentioning.

Humanity can only suffer, let the plague of locusts rage.

So how can this locust plague be blamed on Governor Shi?

Governor Shi did his best.

It's not like he didn't do anything.

How did Governor Shi hold Governor accountable?

Now he directly demoted people from the governor of three provinces to the prefect of one province, and fined 50,000 taels of silver, This gap, to be honest, is a little terrifying.

Governor Shi's personal mood, others can imagine, disgraced, embarrassed, if there is a gap in the ground, Governor Shi will definitely get into it.

But Governor Shi's mood is not the point.

The focus is on the signal revealed by Sheng Hong's holy decree.

Because of the vast territory of Dasheng, there are large and small natural disasters every year in the entire Dasheng area, either floods in the east or drought in the west, locust plagues in the north or mudslides there.

Anyway, something happens every year.

According to Sheng Hong's reward and punishment this time, then everyone will be in danger in the future.

If there is a natural disaster under the rule of anyone, then ask for more blessings, even if they try their best to help the disaster, they may be held accountable.

Who will be able to sleep soundly in the future?

Everyone has to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying that God will bless him with good weather and peace for the people.

Previously, Sheng Hong covered the news tightly, only Sheng Jun Li Qiao and Lu Liangmao, the secretary of the ministry, knew about it, and now that the holy decree was announced, the remaining scholars first found Lu Liangmao and asked why the saint was punished so heavily.

In fact, Lu Liangmao is also confused, although he is a secretary of the ministry, but the promotion and transfer of Dasheng officials has always been firmly in the hands of Sheng Jun and Sheng Hong's father and son, Sheng Hong told him that when he told him, he was informed, not discussed with him.

At that time, he also felt that the punishment was a bit heavy, because Governor Shi's performance on weekdays was okay, and he did his best in this locust plague.

But Sheng Hong is going to make this decision, what can he do?

He could only obediently obey orders.

Several scholars listened to Lu Liangmao's explanation, hesitated for two days, and resisted the urge to see Sheng Hong.

That's it, when Sheng Jun was in power, this Dasheng was the Sheng family's hall.

Later, Sheng Hong succeeded to the throne, and there were thorns such as the British Duke and the Peng family, but after these two thorns were cleaned up, the two princes, civil and military officials and a large group of nobles dared to fight against Sheng Hong.

Even some arrogant ones have all converged and behaved with their tails between their legs.

Since Sheng Hong has this will, there must be Sheng Hong's reason.

Several scholars had many concerns and did not ask to see Sheng Hong, but the seventh prince and the fourth prince went to find Sheng Hong.

Isn't that too much?

They didn't intercede for Governor Shi, they just felt that if this opening was opened, the officials of Dasheng would fall into fear every day in the future.

Manpower will eventually be poor, and human beings are too passive in the face of natural disasters, and such heavy penalties are really inappropriate.

As a result, the reputation of Sheng Hongrenjun and Mingjun will be greatly affected.

Faced with the doubts of his two sons, Sheng Hong calmly explained to them.

This time, he wants to make an example of chickens and monkeys, so that officials all over the world will conscientiously protect his peace in the future.

Moreover, Governor Shi is indeed not as good as Governor Yu this time, before Governor Yu raised money to protect against the cold, Governor Shi asked a few words verbally, but did not take any practical action.

This time to exterminate locusts, Governor Yu paid out of his own pocket to set up a bonus to stimulate the people to exterminate locusts, but Governor Shi ordered to call on all officials and people to catch locusts together.

Compared with the two, why does Governor Shi continue to occupy the position of governor?

Do you really think that a few thousand taels of silver a month is easy to take?

took his hard-earned money, then take the initiative and actively do things for the people, and give him to protect the country of Dasheng, instead of chasing the ass of natural disasters when the matter comes.

Governor Shi was punished this time, and he was not wronged at all.

Why didn't he punish the Governor?

When the governor of Renren Ming received the news of the locust plague, he immediately studied the route of the locust army, and then rushed from the capital to Daze Mansion.

In fact, Governor Ming's behavior was a bit risky, because Governor Ming was likely to pounce into the air, the army of locusts was completely uncontrollable, and there was no pattern to the route.

However, after receiving the news, the governor of Ming still rushed thousands of miles to the border of Yuanhe Province and Dongshan Province.

The governor of Ming would rather run in vain than sit in the capital anxiously and passively waiting for news.

If, like Governor Ming, after receiving the news of the locust plague, Governor Shi immediately rushed to the disaster area and actively organized the people to relieve the disaster, instead of sitting in the Governor's Mansion and issuing orders one after another, then why did he throw the face of the governor of the three provinces to the ground and rub it?

Governor Shi was demoted, this is what Governor Shi found himself!

Also, he didn't just punish people and not reward people this time, why did he only remember that Governor Shi didn't look at Governor Yu's mansion?

In addition to Prefect Yu, there is also Prefect Tian and several local prefects, all of whom will be promoted in the future.

Why don't you look at the ascension of these people?

He also praised the Governor of Ming and rewarded the Governor of Ming for three months—a high-ranking official of this grade, he could only reward him with gold and silver.

I can only see Governor Shi stumbling, and I can't see the ascension of Governor Yu and others, this mentality is very problematic.

Is it in a weak heart?

If it's not a weak heart, then what are you afraid of?

He's not really unreasonable.

As long as he sincerely treats disasters and saves the people, he will definitely reward them.

In his opinion, the life of a Dasheng official is too comfortable, with a high salary, holding a lot of power, and living a nourishing life than him, the emperor.

He is a lot old, and he is still busy from opening his eyes until dark every day, why is the magistrate more comfortable than him?

What's the matter, he eats and wears clothes, sleeps all night to deal with government affairs, and tries his best to fill his private treasury, but he is actually working for these officials?

As an emperor, he is tired and sick, but these officials are comfortable as local emperors?

Think beautifully!

In the future, it is necessary to introduce a special accountability system for officials at all levels, so that these officials can focus their attention on being officials.

If you don't want to be an official, you can hand him a resignation letter, and he promises not to keep any of them.

There are many people in the world who want to be officials and can be officials, and if they don't want to do it, they will get out.

Sheng Hong's words made the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince a little ashamed, and the two quickly admitted their mistakes.

They are only worried that the officials of the world will be panicked in the future, but they ignore the contribution of their old father, and they are wrong.

It happened that at that time, Li Qiao was sitting behind the screen to review the folds, and listened to Sheng Hong's words, and he wanted to praise Sheng Hong very much.

It's this reason, Sheng Honggui is the emperor, and he should enjoy all the wealth in the world, but Sheng Hong is tired and tired to maintain the great Sheng, and he also has a high salary and a high salary, but many officials do not do practical things and eat and drink with Sheng Hong's silver, Sheng Hong is completely wronged.

If it was in the peaceful years, then Sheng Hong might have endured it.

However, in the next ten years, natural disasters will continue.

Only such a heavy penalty can make local magistrates pay attention to it.
