Why were the officials who were transferred to Weizhou in the past unable to do anything to deal with these people, and even quickly became complicit with them?
Do you have no conscience?
Is there no evidence?
Actually none of them!
The most important thing is that there is no military power.
The imperial court transferred you here, and all you can bring with you is two or three domestic slaves. With so many people in Weizhou, the water is deep.
Hundreds of people will pull you into the quagmire, and two or three people are of no use at all.
But this time Su Jiyuan was different. Not only did he come with two emperors and two princes, but there were also six thousand shadow guards.
Just raid whoever's house you want.
There is no need to show any affection at all.
Don't tell me what's the truth, the big fist is the truth.
In the next period of time, Su Jiyuan collected the money paid by these officials of all sizes in Weizhou.
The officials of a state, which was the poorest state in Chu State, were able to collect a huge amount of five hundred thousand taels of stolen money, which simply made both emperors unbelievable.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver! And there’s also a lot of food!
Xu Qing's operation stunned King Xian for a moment. He expected that he would deal with corrupt officials, but he never expected that the troublesome banditry problems would become one after another in his eyes.
Hidden supply point!
After these two operations, Xu Qing immediately had a generous amount of start-up capital.
Moreover, this start-up capital did not need to be turned over to the court, because nominally the money was used by local officials to support the construction of Weizhou to repair bridges and roads.
So far, Weizhou’s server opening gift package has basically been received by Xu Qing.
The city of Weizhou was originally a bit uneven, but Xu Qing repeatedly widened it. It was more than enough to drive several horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the construction of the wharf canal was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
What Xu Qing didn't expect was that the people of Weizhou could be said to have worked very hard and did not dare to be lazy, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project.
Isn't that right? The people of Weizhou were originally exploited by the officials and bandits, and the food at home was barely sufficient for food and clothing all year round. However, if they work in the project arranged by His Highness the King of Han, they not only have two meals a day, but also
With a salary of two copper coins, of course you have to work harder!
Otherwise, there would still be many people waiting eagerly for others to replace them.
According to Mo Heng's estimate, it will be completed as expected in more than half a month.
The most excited person to hear the news was Emperor Chu. He was an emperor who was used to living in comfortable palaces. Now even though the courtyard arranged for him was luxurious enough, he was still a little uncomfortable living there.
Now that he is the Supreme Emperor, he has set an example for all people and naturally cannot joke about construction related to people's livelihood. However, after Xu Qing's project is completed, it will be time to give him a training palace. The hard days are finally coming to an end.
According to his estimate with Xian Wang, if Xu Qing is like this, Weizhou may be able to rival the capital in two or three years.
The officials in Weizhou are also very honest and work very hard.
They have no choice but to work hard, and now their lives are temporarily saved, but there are countless evidences from the governor, and there is evidence against them, so how can they dare not to work hard?
Given the current distance between the residences of the Governor and His Majesty, it is estimated that it would not even take a quarter of an hour to approve a memorandum. Whoever dares not to work hard may have his or her home confiscated next!
When Su Jiyuan saw these hard-working officials, he was first surprised and then pleased.
Forced deterrence is quite effective most of the time.
Punishing the most cunning corrupt officials often only requires the most primitive means.
Now Xiao Ruxue would go to the place where Xu Qing lived every day, but now that Xu Qing and Xian Wang were on opposite sides, Xiao Ruxue no longer needed to sit on the road in a carriage for half a day.
Since Xu Qing's approach was public and did not cover up anything on purpose, it certainly attracted someone to follow suit.
That’s Li Xun!
Nowadays, most of the memorials in the capital of the Zhou Kingdom were reviewed by the Supreme Emperor and the imperial advisors of the Zhou Kingdom. Li Xun only had to look at them, so Li Xun was quite free in the capital.
In the past year, Princess Mingyue's princess palace in Yunzhou was built, which was exactly the size of an emperor's palace.
Moreover, Princess Mingyue's wedding dress has been woven, and even the hairpin is carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen.
It can be said that the marriage of Princess Yue is the most important event next to the attack on the Western Regions ten years later, and we do not dare to be careless at all.
The situation in Yunzhou is not much better than that in Weizhou. Apart from being bordered by the other two countries, there is not much difference. Besides, Yunzhou will be the trading port between Zhou and Chu in the future, and it will also be the support of my sister. Of course
There is no room for sloppiness.
So Li Xun personally took the left and right Yu Linwei, the left and right Longwuwei and Li Mingyue and ran directly to Yunzhou to start replicating everything Xu Qing did in Weizhou.
The effect can be said to be surprisingly good!
This malicious plagiarism first aroused the dissatisfaction of the Xian Wang.
Can't you figure out what to do on your own?
Are you going to copy them?
But then, when he saw how thick-skinned Zhou Guo was, he gave up his ridicule.
Because the state of Zhou sent people to buy cement from them to build roads.
Will buy a lot!
Big list!
So the wise king immediately changed from mocking to a honest and honest businessman.
It can be said that all his life has been wars. Now that he is watching Xu Qing make the poor and weak Weizhou rich step by step, he actually feels a sense of accomplishment and almost can't help himself from doing some micro-managing in person.
It's like a player who is used to playing real-time strategy suddenly likes to play business simulation.
This feeling is quite amazing.
Nowadays, a lot of cement workshops have been built, and a lot of cement has been stored in the warehouse. Now it can be said that the supply exceeds the demand, and the cement produced every day cannot be used up.
Originally, Xu Qing did not reduce the number of cement workshops in order to continue implementing the work-for-relief program so as not to deprive cement workshop craftsmen of their income.
But now no one thought that things like cement could be exported, and it suddenly became a hot commodity!
Now we need to build more cement workshops to continue increasing production!
After issuing the order to increase the number of workshops and increase cement production, Xu Qing continued to lie on the deck chair, enjoying sunbathing while watching the three little ones playing on the carpet in the yard.
Family happiness is nothing more than this.
At this moment, the porter came to announce that His Majesty was here.
Xu Qing looked at Zheng Huan's two sisters, Loli, who were playing with Ning'er, and immediately ordered Xuan'er beside him: "Bring the three of them inside to play first."
When Xuan'er took away the two sisters, including Ning'er, who were holding hands and playing house with Xiao Ning'er, Xu Qingcai coughed and invited Xiao Ye to come in.
