Moreover, Su Yin had probably estimated that it would take ten thousand people, which was probably the psychological bottom line of Prince Yue. Prince Yue should have known for sure that he would ask for people from him, and maybe he was ready. After all, the defense line is now being built.
Su Yin is mainly responsible, but it is not Su Yin's fault alone.
Su Yin's behavior was tantamount to causing a major earthquake in Dingnan Province. In the month when Su Yin was waiting for Tai Shiwu and Gu Xueqiao to return with reinforcements, four more cities were built among the twelve cities.
Defend the abandoned city and abscond.
Finally, when Gu Xueqiao and Taishi Wu returned to Dingnan Province with the 10,000 field troops under Yue Ying's command approved by Prince Yue, the entire Dingnan Province was put under military control, but the chief administrative officer only
There are five left.
"If anyone can prove his innocence, he can say it." Su Yin put on a face that is friendly to the people, "The so-called innocent people will self-exonerate themselves, and there will be no doubts of guilt. This is the basic principle of Su Yin. All provincial officials,
Don’t worry too much.”
This statement attracted support from the civilian class, but made officials complain endlessly.
In the end, it was Yu Wensheng who reminded us, "In such a poor province, officials cannot support their families with their salaries. Some are really greedy, and some are forced by life. For those who are forced by life,
,.We cannot treat scum like Li Zhenzhi the same way. The real culprit is the poverty of this province, not the small mistakes made by those centrist officials."
Su Yin accepted Yu Wensheng's suggestion and solemnly declared, "Anyone whose improper income is within two hundred taels, who can hand over his corruption gains to the public within three days, or whose corruption occurred five years ago, can be forgiven."
.”
As soon as this order was issued, it once again triggered an earthquake among the officials of Dingnan Province.
Su Yin has gone back and forth to take the postgraduate entrance examination several times. Most of these officials now have an understanding of Su Yin's character. He is ruthless and decisive but still keeps his word.
As a result, all officials began to rush to the capital of Konoha City to confess their crimes and mistakes to Su Yin.
For ten days, more than 600 officials came to confess their crimes.
This made Su Yin feel even more wrong. These officials admitted their guilt, but you must know that there are only 400,000 people in Dingnan Province, but the total number of officials, large and small, is more than 7,000, which is equivalent to 60 people.
One of them is an official. This ratio is really too high.
These are all officials, not counting the various officials appointed by various officials, that is, those who are responsible for the implementation of specific government affairs.
If this is the case, this ratio may further increase.
In addition to this, Su Yin discovered that most of these so-called officials were superfluous. Since ancient times, the imperial power of Qin Dynasty had not been limited to counties. More than half of the population of the province lived outside the city, that is, in the countryside. Officials basically had no control over the affairs there.
It was out of laissez-faire that the local gentry spontaneously organized village warriors or ancestral halls to manage things in the village.
"It's a mess!" Su Yin shook his head, "In this way, it's strange that this Dingnan Province can be good. It has an area of less than three miles flat, a lack of products and inconvenient transportation, and the wealth it can create is already very limited.
We still have to deal with the taxes from the central government and King Dingnan, plus we have to support more than 10,000 'officials'. It's no wonder that this province is not poor now."
