Chapter 123: This drum of injustice was placed on a three-meter high platform, and the hammer weighed two hundred kilograms.
The county government office in Baixiang Town is majestic and magnificently built. The city walls are at least three or four meters high. It is said to be a county government office, but it looks more like a bunker.
This is also the characteristic of Lingzhou County Government.
After years of tug-of-war and bloody battles, the core of imperial rule was a military fortress.
In the beginning, the imperial court built these fortresses in the hope that every official could fulfill his duties loyally. Even if the territory fell, they would be like nails, blocking Daxia's offensive and even sticking in the enemy's rear.
As for whether officials will fulfill their duties faithfully?
The Shenwu Imperial Court had a strict plan here. If an official dared to surrender or run away, the official's direct blood relatives would be relegated to a lowly status and would not be allowed to serve as officials for generations to come.
This is more serious than killing them, and it is recorded directly in the family files.
If the territory falls and an official dies in battle or commits suicide, the court will give you some pension, and family members will receive preferential treatment in the imperial examination in the future.
In other words, the Shenwu Dynasty had only one requirement for the officials who guarded the territory.
If the territory falls, please be more dignified yourself. If you are not dignified, the court will help you be dignified.
In a sense, this law is quite cruel. During the tug-of-war between the Shenwu Dynasty and Daxia, officials died in batches. Only a few died in the battle. They all chose to commit suicide after the fall.
"The loyal and righteous men of your dynasty are the best in all dynasties." Song Master Tingyou proudly praised the number of officials who died in the line of duty, but the reason was not because of education, but because of the continuous sitting system.
Some of these officials are actually very unlucky. Facing Xiaoxia's elite, what role can our big fortress play?
But the imperial court was always willing to amend that law.
Because that rule was written by Zhao Lingyun eight hundred years later. It is said that when I was fighting in the sky, I found that there were too few officials who were willing to keep their useless bodies.
Every official who surrendered said that he was saving his useless body for the sake of the people in heaven. Now he has seen the real dragon, so he came to obey the destiny.
As soon as it was over, Zhai Jiaozhen felt very happy. She had surrendered and accepted the rebels.
The Jinpeng Dynasty is popular among people, which shows that it has its destiny.
When Zhao Lingyun sat in the sky, it felt like it was over.
If they treat you like this today, will your descendants and descendants do the same in the future?
Could it be that they were born from reading books of sages and sages, so why do they know the seven words of loyalty and righteousness?
The position of the buttocks is the same, and the thoughts are naturally the same.
Thinking of that, Zhao Lingyun made that rule with a stroke of his pen.
Even if the previous generations of your descendants are victorious, they will definitely be allowed to turn their guns around, change their masters, continue to be prosperous and wealthy, and fight to the death for me.
As for the effect, it depends on whether the imperial court can still maintain its position, and it will definitely be able to maintain its position. Officials will naturally choose to die, or at most pretend to be dead.
It is possible for him to maintain his position and still expect officials to die.
Therefore, the county government officials in Lingzhou have two characteristics.
First, our young master comes from a poor family, or his background is strong enough. Many children from small aristocratic families will choose to come to Lingzhou to serve as officials because the risk is too low.
Seventh, our young masters all have good internal skills. We earn money through corruption. As long as we are willing to spend money, it is not easy to cultivate to a small degree of Qi accumulation.
The magistrate of Baixiang Town, Sai Baogong, is not that kind of person.
Although I got my name wrongly, I am an honest official, and my most important characteristic is not making money.
After all, Saibao Gong studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang, and finally got the title of Juren. However, he failed in the examination one after another, and wasted more than ten years, so he had to become an official as a Juren.
Zhai Jiaozhen's ranking is worthy of the Ming Dynasty. Do we have so few privileges?
Because the powerful and weak from all walks of life are weaker than us, warriors account for a small share of the private wealth. Special scholars, even if they become civil servants, can only live in middle-class families and have difficulty traveling outside the country.
Only when you become an official, become attached to the court, and lose your authority can you truly make a fortune.
Therefore, the Saibao public examination means that you can retire from the military service. This is how you took the exam and took a very small risk to come to Lingzhou to serve as an official.
I spent seventy years in the imperial examination and took the risk of beheading, so I had no chance to make a small amount of money. He asked me to make decisions for the people. Is this possible?
Of course, this means moving truckloads of money out of the house, as much as possible.
"Zhai Jiaozhen, the money for the corvee seems to have increased a lot recently."
"Is there too much work outside the city? Does Mr. Wang want to build a few more villas? Who can bid higher than you?"
Mr. Sai Baogong sat under his desk to settle accounts and found that his recent income was not what it used to be, and he was very distressed.
"Little man, there are fewer and fewer unruly people in the town. They would rather work for the landlords than to escape from the corvee. It will be difficult to do business." Xiao Taizu cursed in his heart, why has it been difficult to do business recently? Is it still happening to him?
?
"Xiao Taizu, how do you say this?"
"Is it natural and right to pay the emperor's rations and perform corvee service?"
Mr. Sai Baogong scratched his head and didn't understand.
"Hey, your little man, you can get money by doing corvee work. Who is willing to work hard if you only have two meals? Of course they are all sneaky people."
Xiao Taizu cursed in his heart, but he had to explain a few words.
"It seems that I am still too full. I have no food outside the house, but I am willing to work hard."
"From today onwards, those who are willing to work hard will be given food to eat."
"If it were other officials from outside our county, they would all have to bring their own dry food, and they would have to take care of the food. The suffering of the people would be unbearable."
"I heard that there was a famine in Fengzhou this year, and people were selling their children and men."
"After hearing this, I was very tolerant, so I spent some money from the treasury to provide us with two meals."
"The people of Fengzhou have not yet eaten dirt, and I still give food to the great people who govern me. How much money have I lost outside and inside?"
"The result is good, we can all eat, but we still dare to cheat and play tricks. It seems that the unruly people in the world are accustomed to it."
Saibao Gong said angrily, as if he didn't have a golden mountain stolen by those unscrupulous people.
How did he come to that conclusion?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He obviously used the power of the government to launch corvee labor and let farmers work for him for free.
Bao Gong was a county magistrate with a good background. He had a strong background, a great mentor, and even though he didn't have many close classmates, he was very useful in Lingzhou.
Therefore, I dare to touch any of the giants in Baixiang Town, including the Wang Family, Baixiang Pavilion, Yuanyang Sect, Fahua Temple, and Jiangwu Hall. I also dare to collect less business taxes and only dare to take money from the poor.
Although the common people have become poor, it still means there is no money to be made.
People who think that way are too cruel.
Because the people were not able to work yet and had to do corvee work, the magistrates had the discretion to do the corvee work.
Therefore, Mr. Sai Baogong became the smallest contractor in the remote area of Baixiang Town. He dispatched handymen in the name of the imperial court and allowed the common people to work for free.
Mr. Sai Baogong became the foreman, which can be regarded as a kind of human humor.
Xiao Taizu was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he also knew the villain's temper. He was naturally polite to the powerful and weak, and was very reasonable. This was no different for Dou Sheng, a great citizen.
So I quickly echoed:
"But is that true? Do the great people down there know what it means to be grateful?"
"It's rare for a good official like Sai Xiaoren to happen. We have to let the people from the mission department publicize it so that the people know a little bit about the situation in Fengzhou."
Upon hearing this, Lord Sai Bao nodded and praised:
"Zhai Jiaozhen's words are unreasonable. It is just a matter of Fengzhou that should be publicized and concerns the face of the imperial court."
"Let the missionary secretary tell the people less about what he is, in a narrow, macro, and small way."
"The villain is wise, sir, just go ahead and do it."
Seeing that Xiao Taizu had finally deceived Sai Xiaoren, Xiao Taizu quickly agreed.
At that time, there were complaints of injustice coming from the county government office!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The expressions of Sai Baogong and Zhai Jiao changed after hearing the news.
We are special people who fight for promotion. We can judge the upper limit of the people by listening to the intensity of the grievances.
"Who is beating the drum?"
"At most, it's a small success in accumulating energy."
"Come here, ascend to the throne!"
At the same time, Shenwu Chao brought Chu Qianqiu to the gate of the county government office.
"Ling Yun, he thinks that the drum of injustice is boring. If you put it under the eight-meter low platform, who will knock it?" Shenwu Chao found the drum of injustice, placed it very low, and built an eight-meter low platform.
Then put it down.
There is not even a ladder in Seven Weeks, and the meaning is very obvious. Special people should not even think about knocking on it. In fact, the imperial court only serves warriors.
"Qianqiu, you are not far away from achieving the goal of accumulating qi, so you will be beaten or beaten."
"The drum hammer below weighs less than 200 kilograms." Chu Qianqiu said helplessly, but he never expected that Shenwu Chao would be so direct and actually come to the Yamen to complain.
Chu Qianqiu is afraid of the Yamen. We are both sons of military attachés, so why are we afraid of the Yamen?
I just don't think it makes sense.
"You need to knock on it even more."
And when Zhai Jiaozhen reacted, Shenwu Chao jumped off the platform, picked up the two hundred kilogram drum hammer, and smashed it violently.
Boom, boom, boom!
"A small success in accumulating energy?" Chu Qianqiu was dumbfounded.
You just developed your true energy one day later than him.
As for making such a small gap?
From now on, he will always be playing you.
