After the three people heard this question, their expressions tightened, and then they looked at each other, as if they had formed some kind of tacit understanding. Finally, Huang Fuhu stepped forward and respectfully answered: "I will wait for the three families to thank you."
Gao Yi, because the state government is helping people in the state and asking people in the state, we have learned a lot of useful information, and I think we will be able to rescue my brother and others soon!"
Hearing Huang Fuhu's answer full of expectation and confidence, Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "So how much information do you three families know exactly? Can you tell everyone here that one person can calculate the shortcomings, and everyone can calculate the strengths, and work together to achieve the goal?
Find and rescue the person as soon as possible."
Everyone else present also nodded in agreement, not only to satisfy their curiosity and want to know whether those three people were alive or dead, but also had some other subtle thoughts hidden in them.
After the three people heard this, their expressions became even more awkward, and they became obviously vigilant and nervous. Huang Fuhu quickly bowed and said: "The information I have received in recent days is very complicated and complicated. You and everyone here are busy with official business, so I'm afraid it will disturb you."
Your cases..."
"How can it be said that there is a disturbance in the case? This was originally a matter in my case. I was busy with the military and had no time to spare, so I entrusted the three of you to handle the matter. However, the state government still provided enough reward materials. Yes, East Gate
The reward has been posted for many days, how much has it cost?”
Li Tai seemed to realize this problem only after talking about this, and turned to look at a state official and asked.
The state official stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I have paid the East Gate reward in the treasury for a total of thirty kilograms of gold and twenty-nine thousand five hundred pieces of silk."
"What?"
"So many?"
When they heard the figures reported by the state officials, everyone in the hall exclaimed. Unexpectedly, just half a month later, nearly 30,000 pieces of silk were scattered on the high platform, and two pieces of silk were scattered every day.
As many as a thousand horses!
After Li Tai heard this number, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He ordered the state government to provide sufficient property for the reward, but did not arrange for personnel to supervise it, leaving the three families solely responsible for the distribution of the reward, in order to create a
Lining one's own pockets and guarding one's own opportunities.
It seems that these three companies have taken advantage of the opportunity to the extreme and distributed so much silk in such a short period of time. If the reward he announced before is used, it means nearly 3,000 pieces of useful intelligence information. This must be the case for the missing three people.
You can find out exactly where every hair on a person falls!
After hearing this astonishing number, Li Tai did not need any further urging. Even the powerful people in the hall stood up and said loudly: "This matter has shocked the state and county, and many people have suffered unjust injustice. Your Majesty.
In order to protect the environment and protect the people, they spent huge sums of money just to investigate the matter clearly.
Nowadays, people are paying attention to the matter, and the state capital has many envoys. It is no longer a private matter of the three of you. What results have been achieved cannot be revealed quickly! No matter how complicated the news is, it is up to the people in the hall to judge whether it is worth tens of thousands of pieces of silk.
Capital!"
After hearing this, everyone also echoed one after another, and it could be said that the crowd was full of emotions for a while.
It should be noted that at the just-concluded Battle of Xiangyang Reward Ceremony, there were only more than 20,000 pieces of silk as rewards, and they still had to be distributed among several families, and the marchers risked their lives on the battlefield.
However, these three families only lost one person in each household. With the emergency arrangements of the new envoy, nearly 30,000 pieces of silk were distributed while holding a small platform. How can people accept this?
People don't worry about scarcity but inequality. When this number was announced, things suddenly changed.
The nearly 30,000 pieces of silk were spent, even if the three people were rescued intact, it would make the onlookers feel worthless, not to mention that their money was scattered, but the people were still missing!
The three people saw the crowd around them glaring angrily, and the crowd was agitated. They all panicked for a moment. Before they could speak, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Li Tai, who was sitting above him, raised his hand and knocked on the table heavily. He looked at the people in the hall and said solemnly: "Please wait for the crowd to calm down and don't be impatient because of the heavy goods being consumed. The same goes for these materials being scattered."
It benefits the masses, but it’s not a pity if it can help others!”
After that, he looked at the three people and said: "What information has been learned from the reward? You must come from the truth and don't hide it! This matter is something I teach you. If the people know that I am wrong, you and others will do it."
careful!"
"Please spare your life! Please spare your life..."
The three people were already horrified. When they heard Li Tai's murderous words again, their defenses were suddenly broken. They knelt down and cried and begged for mercy. Even if they could compile nearly three thousand intelligence messages,
I can’t remember that!
Li Tai looked at the three people in the hall and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The situation he arranged for these three families was really a test of human nature, and not many could withstand the test. But these three families could put it all together in such a short period of time.
The fact that the case was so big shows their boldness and greed.
"I thought that you, the three families, who had lost their loved ones, would be sincere in their work and would never slack off, so I took care of everything, but I didn't want to indulge in greed and completely disregard the lives of my loved ones. Since I came to Daxingtai in the country, all the officials have praised me.
You are smart and good at governing, but this time you and other rats will make you laugh in the world!"
Li Tai stood up angrily, pointed at the three people and shouted angrily, and then pointed at the people present and said solemnly: "This miscalculation really makes me ashamed. But I want to ask you all here, what is it about these three people who are so perverse?
Aloof, greedy, or is this the folk custom in Mianbei?"
What he said seemed a bit like regional discrimination. Although everyone in the hall felt ashamed and annoyed after hearing this, they couldn't argue with it when they saw the living example.
The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a while. Du Zhaohui, the magistrate of Wan County, suddenly stood up, bowed to Li Taishen first, and then said: "The land is fertile, the fields are rice and barnyard grass, the water is clear and turbid, and of course people also have good and evil qualities.
!Although this hometown in Mianbei has been plagued by wars for a long time and education has been intermittent, the people in the village are still virtuous and uphold justice and respect their dear friends.
A few unscrupulous rural thieves are really not enough to demonstrate the quality of rural customs and folk customs. A certain class of officials and people all look up to the envoy to teach the customs. From then on, the morality and justice of the village and the people depend on the envoy and the envoy to teach them.
If you are kind, the people will be kind. If there is evil again, the law will not stop it, and the people will spit on it!"
"What Du Ming Mansion said is true! Just two or three thieves are indeed not enough to bring shame to the state and county!"
After listening to Du Zhaohui's words, Li Tai's frown relaxed slightly, and then he looked at Dou Chi, the governor of Fangcheng who was in charge of city defense and security, and said: "Seize these three mansions and clans immediately, and don't allow any stolen money from the treasury."
Out of the country! No one from the Shen clan will be spared!"
When the three people heard this, they couldn't help but wailed and sobbed, but their greed had already offended the public, and the public saw their miserable situation and didn't feel pity for them, but felt disgusted.
From a moral perspective, what Li Tai did was indeed quite unethical. He shouted to catch thieves, fished for law enforcement, and deliberately used huge sums of money to induce people to commit crimes. It really goes against the status of a state official.
But the problem is, if he uses normal methods, how can he easily deal with these tycoons who have been entrenched in the place for many years? He should also follow the example of his predecessor Chang Sun Jian and happily make friends with these tycoons. As long as you don't rebel, I will not interfere with you.
?
These three families have committed robberies and embezzled huge amounts of money. Naturally, the so-called reward offer to rescue people cannot continue. When things have developed to this point, the people have long since ceased to care about where the three people are, whether they are alive or dead. After all, even
Their respective close relatives think money is more important than them.
Nearly 30,000 pieces of silk is definitely a huge sum of money, and it is very difficult to circulate and spend it in a short period of time. After Dou Chi was ordered to inspect these three families, most of the stolen money was recovered.
Some of the savings are still abundant.
After all, these three powerful families were originally large households in the state, and their assets were spread across counties. It took several days to seal them all. It was precisely because the family business was so powerful that they dared not give face to Li Tai when he first entered the country.
Just getting rid of these three companies is certainly not Li Tai's ultimate goal. Although the assets of the three companies are considerable, they cannot satisfy his appetite.
After he sent the former governor Quanzhong out of the country according to the ceremony, and sent an envoy to return to Huazhou with him to report the expedition to Xiangyang, before the heat of the matter subsided, he summoned all the subordinate officials and representatives of powerful powers to the state capital.
.
After everyone arrived at the state capital, the first thing they saw was the money, silk, and property confiscated from three families piled up in the courtyard of the state capital. They couldn't help but be amazed. They felt that they had never seen such money in their entire lives.
The new envoy has seen a lot in less than a month since his arrival.
With so much wealth openly piled up in the courtyard of the state capital, one can't help but wonder what kind of medicine the new envoy is selling in his gourd.
When the crowd gathered in the hall again and took their seats, Li Tai sighed and said: "Preface to Du Ming Mansion. From now on, the morality of the village and the people will depend on me. I have been thinking about it frequently in recent days and I have a lot of feelings. The former mistakenly believed in the evildoers."
, this is a fact that cannot be exaggerated. The villain comes from the countryside, and it is an indelible stain for the villagers.
It is not too late to remedy the situation. I am frank by nature and not good at pretentiousness. I have gathered everyone here today just to ask the wise villagers. What dangers and difficulties in the village need to be solved urgently? Can I help solve the problems for the people of the state? There were materials outside the hall.
I will never be stingy with collections or pollute my treasury as a thief. I only hope to make good use of materials and relieve the people's suffering. The fragrance of the countryside is better than the richness of the treasury!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately started talking again. They just thought that this prince had a grudge against money. He used to spend all kinds of money, but now he finally saw the money coming back, but he called the people to ask what to do.
Spend it! But for the time being, they didn’t have an idea as to what kind of rural affairs could consume so much money.
It was the Du county magistrate who stood up first and said: "My virtue is like the sun and the moon, which really makes my subordinates admire me greatly! There is indeed an urgent matter in the state that needs to be dealt with. There is a Liumenyan water incident in the west of Rangcheng. It is the front
The ponds and weirs built by Zhaogong in the Han Dynasty to intercept the water flow can irrigate thousands of hectares of fertile fields in Rangcheng, Xinye and other counties, but now they are in disrepair and the canals and ponds are blocked..."
Li Tai looked at Magistrate Du who was talking eloquently and nodded with satisfaction.
Based on the successful experience of regulating Luoshui, and the importance of water conservancy projects to farming in ancient society, he also regarded this as a breakthrough for his own governance of Mianbei. First, he used the mouth of this Du County magistrate to test the public sentiment.
If it's not as good as expected, then you have to keep adding more stuff.
