After scanning the civil servants and generals in the room, Jia Rong frowned and stared at everyone.
"I summoned everyone here in spite of my busy schedule because I have important instructions." Jia Rong's rich voice echoed in the room for a long time.
Everyone straightened their bodies unconsciously and stared at Jia Rong quietly.
He was removed from his official position by the Han Emperor and left for nearly a year. After his return, he was welcomed by tens of thousands of people, and then he immediately took charge of all the affairs of Jincheng without any obstacles during the period. His influence is evident.
"Some of you who disobey the law, accept bribes without authorization, or embezzle money and food from warehouses should be executed!"
The sound of "cut" made many officials look at each other, their expressions changed, and their minds were high.
Jia Rong sneered and said: "As far as I know, the salary of Jincheng officials is the highest among the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect that you are still corrupt and accepting bribes. How can I trust you so much?"
Some officials had traces of sweat faintly visible on their foreheads, and their calves kept trembling. The Xiliang Army has always emphasized the prohibition of orders, and the same applies to the officials in Jincheng. The consequences of violating the regulations are very serious. Thinking of the money left at home, many officials secretly
I regret my original recklessness.
Nowadays, those who can serve as county magistrates or real powerful figures in Jincheng are not just ordinary people. Jincheng is no longer the small Liangzhou city it used to be. There are countless scholars who are willing to come to Jincheng to take up a job. If they step down, it is unknown how many people will steal.
Having fun.
"I have a list here. As long as there are problematic officials, their names are all on it." Jia Rong took out a stack of paper from the desk and said: "Don't quibble, because when did you accept the bribe and when did you embezzle?
The quantity is all recorded on it, and I even know where you put it."
Through the paper, you can faintly see the densely packed words on it. The psychological defenses of many officials were completely defeated. They were able to stand there only by their tenacious will.
After carefully observing everyone's reactions, Jia Rong said: "Fortunately, you don't have a fish and meat village. Now I give you a chance to atone for your sins. I know you also have difficulties. You are in important positions and there are countless people who are willing to curry favor. However, if you have been bribed or
Officials who have committed corruption should just take out the money and be done with it."
Hearing this, many officials breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Their backs were already soaked with sweat.
"Everyone only has one chance. If you fail to truthfully hand over the money you received for corruption and bribery, you must act in accordance with the law." Jia Rong said slowly.
Everyone bowed and left. The time and place of corruption and bribery were clearly investigated, and all officials were completely honest.
Jia Rong is no longer the young general who first entered Jincheng. The officials who wanted to be clever carefully stopped their thoughts.
In the Xiliang Army, there are only two types of people who can be continuously promoted. One is those who have little ability but work conscientiously, and the other is those who are truly capable.
After all the officials dispersed, Jia Xu bowed and said, "My lord, this will definitely collect the money from all the officials who have been corrupted and accepted bribes. Not only will the people's hearts be gathered, but a large amount of money will be gained, killing two birds with one stone."
Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Wenhe, please stop mocking me. If Jincheng develops too fast, there will definitely be problems, big or small. If all these bribed officials are replaced, Jincheng will inevitably be in trouble. It is unwise; people
No one is perfect, and there is nothing wrong with corruption and bribery, as long as it is within the tolerance range, demanding too much will be counterproductive."
Jia Xu said: "Lord, how will we deal with the corruption and bribery of officials in the future?" The corruption and bribery introduced by Jia Rong from later generations is very popular, and it can summarize the problems of officials in a short way.
After thinking for a long time, Jia Rong said: "I want to set up a department to inspect the integrity of officials. If the corruption exceeds 50,000 yuan, they will be brought back for interrogation without my consent." The Xiliang Army is bound to develop under Jia Rong's leadership.
When the government gets up, there will be more officials then, and it will be too difficult to detect with just the intelligence network in charge of Jia Xu.
Jia Xu looked surprised and said: "My lord is wise!"
Jia Rong smiled and said: "When did Wenhe learn to flatter others, so I will leave this matter to Wenhe."
Jia Xu said in greeting: "You must do your best for a humble position!" Jia Xu's body trembled slightly. Such a team directly controls the power of life and death of Jia Rong's subordinate officers and generals, which also shows that Jia Rong trusts him.
No one can understand Jia Xu's difficulties in the year since Jia Rong left Jincheng. In the army, Jia Xu lacks sufficient prestige. In political affairs, his foundation is too shallow and he is not as good as Zhang Li and other officials who followed Jia Rong in the early days.
"The name of this team is 'Heavenly Punishment'. They are responsible for the job inspection of officials and their integrity, civility and harmony. They have a long way to go!"
Jia Xu bowed: "No!" With Jia Rong, Jia Xu's outlook on life is gradually changing. The Jia Wenhe who used to put his own life first in everything is going away.
The Xiliang Army's team to inspect officials' performance and integrity came into being. In the future, this team made all corrupt officials look bad. Whenever an official received a summons from heaven to punish him, he would have to shed his skin or die.
"Thank you for your hard work, Wen He, please pay more attention to your health!" Jia Rong said with a softened tone.
Jia Xu bowed: "Thank you for your concern, my lord!"
After Jia Xu left, Jia Rong immediately sent soldiers to summon Wang Mu to his house.
The renovation of the prefect's mansion in Jincheng has been completed. The layout inside the mansion is unique and pleasing to the eye.
"The humble king Mu pays homage to your lord!" In Jincheng, military generals basically addressed Jia Rong as general, while civil servants addressed Jia Rong as lord.
Jia Rong sat upright and said calmly: "Get up!"
"How does it feel to be managed by a foreign businessman?"
Wang Mu replied respectfully: "Not bad!"
Jia Rong said with a faint smile: "Really? I heard that you accepted bribes from businessmen many times during your tenure."
Wang Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied: "Master Qi, this is indeed the case."
"Oh." Jia Rong changed his tone and said, "Please tell me in detail!" Wang Mu admitted frankly, which surprised Jia Rong.
Wang Mu relaxed his mood and said: "Since the Xianlian Pavilion was opened in Jincheng, there have been countless businessmen coming and going. These businessmen come from various states and counties and do not know much about the situation in Jincheng."
Seeing that Jia Rong was listening patiently, Wang Mu paused and continued: "I am in charge of merchants' transactions, so many businessmen came to my door one after another, hoping that I could take care of them in my daily business. At first, I refused to take my position. Who would have expected
These businessmen come every time and even bribe low-level servants with huge sums of money."
"In the end, I discovered that as long as I accepted the monetary gifts from these businessmen, the merchants would be able to do business with peace of mind and would not be arrogant because I bribed them. After all, the merchants are here to seek money; all the money is now placed in
There has never been any movement in my humble family." Wang Mu finished speaking in one breath, his tone slightly breathless.
Jia Rong's expression softened slightly and he said: "When you go back, hand the money to the warehouse to avoid criticism. If you are short of money, just tell me."
Wang Mu bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. I have already decided to put the money into the warehouse."
The second update is here, I beg for help and favors. It’s windy this week. Let’s work together and push the cavalry up hard. Yesterday, the chrysanthemums in front were exploded countless times. Are you confident?
