Why didn't he think that he could start from the clan?
Liang Xi's eyes lit up instantly, "My wife, you are so smart!"
Using the clan to suppress Qu Tingzhou is an incredible move!
Qu Tingzhou would never dare to resist, otherwise without the blessing of his clan, his life would be much worse than now!
"Then this is all thanks to you."
Qiao Jinhuan said softly.
"No hard work, no hard work."
As long as we can get Qu Tingzhou away, it doesn't matter how much effort we put in.
What's more, he may not be able to watch a good show by then~
Liang Xi curled his lips and smiled, with a bit of schadenfreude in his smile.
The next day, he immediately sent out his usual Xiaosi Lancao, along with the "wife-owner selection" information he had compiled.
Qu Tingzhou's native place was in Qujia Village. Later, when his family made some money, they moved to Xianghe Town.
The Liang family's ancestral home is in Xianghe Town.
Later, Taifu Liang retired and rescued the original owner on his way home. After learning that the original owner's parents were dead and seeing that the original owner had a strong memory, he accepted the original owner as his apprentice and brought the original owner to Xianghe Town to live together.
The Qu family and the Liang family are right next to each other and are neighbors, so the original owners of Qu Tingzhou and Liang Xi have known each other since they were children.
A few years later, the original owner became the number one scholar in high school and proposed marriage to Liang Xi. The Liang family moved back to the capital to settle down.
At this point, the original owner lost contact with Qu Tingzhou.
Xianghe Town is far away from the capital. Even if you have to drive there day and night, it would take more than half a month.
During this period of time, Qiao Jinhuan became busy again.
She knew that Qu Tingzhou would never give up, but she was too lazy to deal with him, so she simply took six ministers and started busy with government affairs.
Qu Tingzhou was so busy all day long that he couldn't find any chance to meet.
Suffocate people to death in the courtyard.
But Qiao Jinhuan is indeed doing business.
Together with the six ministers, she re-formulated some regulations for court officials.
Having experienced countless dynasties, she knows very well that corrupt officials will definitely exist unless people die.
So, she drew a red line.
"Anyone who embezzles, if the annual salary is less than 20% of the annual salary, he will be given a warning or beaten if found out. If he is given multiple warnings, he will be demoted... If the amount exceeds 20%, he will be demoted. If the amount of corruption is more than 20%, he will be punished with double the amount..."
"Anyone involved in a murder case will be killed without mercy..."
The salary provided by this court is actually high enough, and 20% is considered a more appropriate bottom line.
The emperor was very satisfied with this.
Because in her opinion, the red line drawn by Qiao Jinhuan was her tolerance for courtiers.
An emperor like her who allowed officials to corrupt was unprecedented. Wouldn't the officials who followed her have to praise her as a kind and wise emperor?
Qiao Jinhuan also used this method to persuade the emperor.
"Let's start checking from three years ago."
The emperor said again.
After all, if the investigation started ten years ago, it would take a lot of time and manpower, and it is estimated that not one of the people standing in the court would even think of running away.
So Qiao Jinhuan took six more ministers and vigorously checked them one by one.
The first one is to check it out herself.
But she is indeed involved in corruption and has no problem.
After all, the original owner was really not that greedy.
Not to mention the emperor's frequent lavish rewards, she herself was really not interested in money, what she wanted was power.
She successfully escaped from this great purge.
But Guo Ziyi and others were not so lucky.
Sitting in that position, how can you not be greedy for money?
Not to mention greed, he has not become less greedy, and his money of several thousand to ten thousand taels has already exceeded 20% of his annual salary.
But the rules are set by them, and they can only spit out double the money they gained.
They were just a little bit away from emptying out their entire family.
During the recent period, you can see people moving money to the Ministry of Revenue every day. Part of the money fell into the national treasury, and part of it was secretly sent to the emperor's private treasury.
Seeing more and more gold and silver in his private treasury, the emperor was in an extremely good mood every day.
"My dear, you did a great job."
The emperor became more and more generous in praising Qiao Jinhuan, almost to the point of praising him every time he went to court.
What is "the minister of humility", "the weapon of the country", "the mainstay"...
There's nothing she can't boast about.
Qiao Jinhuan also accepted it with a smile, and humbly praised it back, "Everything depends on the emperor's sage, and only the humble ministers can show their talents."
here we go again!
Looking at Sticky, you praise me and I praise you, the emperor and his ministers. The princess standing beside her rolled her eyes calmly.
Mother Queen, who is your daughter?
How about you just accept Qiao Jinhuan as your adopted daughter and let her take your place?
In view of the fact that there were too many problematic officials identified and the execution ground in the market was open almost every day, if all the rules were followed, there would not be many people in the court.
Moreover, this only investigated the officials in the capital.
Outside the capital, none of the officials from the major prefectures have started investigating yet!
"Your Majesty, for the sake of all the hard work of the ministers for many years, why not give everyone another chance and not demote or reduce officials for the time being. If he does it again, he will not be tolerated."
Just when the emperor was in trouble, Qiao Jinhuan stood up again.
"good!"
The emperor immediately agreed.
As a result, most of the officials in the court were fine except for giving a large sum of money.
For a moment, they both hated and loved Qiao Jinhuan.
All in all, I hate it more.
Although I saved my life, all the money I had saved over the years was gone!
It would be strange not to hate this.
But Qiao Jinhuan didn't care about their reaction at all. She had already pointed her gun at the officials in the state capital, and said that she would send officials from the capital to visit and review, hoping that the officials in the major state capitals would take the lead in conducting self-examination.
If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be lenient. If you plead guilty, you will be lenient.
At the same time, officials from all major state capitals are welcome to report. As long as the reports are correct, the merits can be offset.
If you are not at fault, you will be promoted and receive a bonus.
People in major state capitals are also welcome to report. As long as the report is correct, they can get 1% of all the stolen money embezzled by the official.
Don't look at 1%, which is not much. You must know that "a Qing Zhifu is worth one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver." Not to mention one hundred thousand, even if it is only ten thousand taels, the whistleblower can still get one hundred taels of silver.
What is the concept of one hundred taels of silver?
It's probably the concept that a family of four in an ordinary village can use for ten years.
Who is not moved by this?
Who wouldn't be excited about this?
For a moment, officials from all the major state capitals seemed to be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. When they walked out of the door, the eyes of the people on the street were shining when they looked at them.
They not only have to guard against the common people, but also against backstabbing from their own men.
After all, if you get your boss, your subordinates will rise to the top.
Who among the officials doesn’t want to climb up the ladder?
As a result, the previous atmosphere of greed and excess in the court was instantly cleared, and selfless behavior became the norm.
Although it was most likely just temporary, the Crown Princess was very satisfied with it.
But she didn't know that Qiao Jinhuan had prepared a surprise for her.
