Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 33 Officials must be corrupt, the aristocratic family’s counterattack
Chapter 33 Officials must be corrupt, the aristocratic family’s counterattack
After Ji Rufeng, Du Miaoyan and others left.
Zhang San came in with thirty guards and sixty returned officials from the governor's office.
These include Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Judiciary, and one of each of the seven military officers, starting from the eighth rank.
There are also city magistrates, doctors of literature, doctors of medicine, etc., starting from the ninth grade.
Three hundred state officials who had just been recruited were waiting in the back. The conference room was not that big and could not accommodate so many people.
"From today on, the former chief historian, Sima, will be dismissed from his post. The chief historian will be Zhang San, and Sima... is to be determined."
Fang Yuan glanced at everyone and said calmly.
Then he took out a document from his arms and threw it to Zhang San.
The documents from the Ministry of Personnel arrived in Fang Yuan’s hands at noon today.
"Xie Zhouzun!"
Zhang San took the document and his breathing became rapid.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and bowed down to Fang Yuan.
Other officials looked envious one after another, but then they also became excited.
Because just now Fang Yuan said that Sima is to be determined, that means it is very likely that he will be one of them.
For a time, the smart and resourceful officials found the direction of struggle and focused on the vacant Sima position.
"I have read your information and found that some people's butts are not very clean."
Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold and he glanced at the former governor's official.
"My lord Zhouzun, forgive me!"
Immediately more than a dozen people stood up and begged for mercy.
"Hmph, I will write down the case record first and use my political achievements to eliminate it."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
Almost all of them stood up and admitted it, and it was somewhat saved.
Considering that they all have several years of experience and are much better than the newly recruited state officials, we will make do with them first.
"Xie Zhouzun!"
They breathed a sigh of relief and went back again.
"I believe that whether you are an official or a local official, you are all aiming for promotion and wealth."
"So if you want to be Sima, you should show your abilities and make enough political achievements to make me feel that you can take the position of Sima."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Prepare to give these old fried dough sticks a pat on the back.
Sure enough, the eyes of high-ranking officials became excited.
Yes, whether you are an official or a local official, it is all for promotion and wealth.
Getting promoted can give you more power, and getting rich can make you live more comfortably.
If you can have your cake and eat it too, then that's naturally the best. If not, then choose one of the two.
This is what all of them think in their hearts. Any indifference to fame and wealth is all fake and deceiving outsiders.
However, most of them are incompetent. They are just small state officials. They are not qualified to compete for the position of Sima. Instead of being excited, they look a little lonely.
"But there is only one Sima, and there are ninety of you, what should we do?"
Fang Yuan continued.
After the words fell, everyone was stunned.
Indeed, there is only one position of Sima, and among ninety people, only one person can take the position.
"Get rich?"
Sihu Yu Gaoyuan asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it means making a fortune!"
"I personally believe that those who serve as officials must be corrupt. I don't mind if you use your power to make money for yourself, and I even encourage you to be corrupt."
Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Yu Gaoyuan and remembered this Sihu.
Leaders prefer proactive subordinates.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned, looking slightly embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
They all know how to use their power to make money, and even many people do this.
But they dare not say these words, even if everyone is of the same virtue, they would not dare to say them in public.
Corruption and abuse of power for personal gain are serious crimes. They were not sure if Fang Yuan was trying to trick them.
"But you can only be greedy towards rich people, you can only be greedy towards aristocratic families, but you cannot be greedy towards ordinary people."
Fang Yuan emphasized.
The officials did not dare to speak and even showed scared expressions.
Most of the rich people are from aristocratic families and have great connections in Liaozhou. How can these petty officials dare to attack them?
"Are you afraid?"
"Are you afraid even if you have me as an official?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
"Will the state minister take responsibility for us?"
Yu Gaoyuan asked.
Although he was scared, his heart was ready to move.
How much money can ordinary people have? The real rich are the aristocratic families and wealthy people.
"Yes, I am responsible for you."
"For this reason, you must pay half of what you have stolen."
Fang Yuan said firmly.
"Xie Zhouzun!"
"My subordinates understand."
Yu Gaoyuan took a deep breath and said respectfully.
The eyes of other officials flickered, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
Handing over half of the money and tying it to the interests of the governor made them feel more at ease.
"Aristocratic and wealthy families have a lot of money, and you can be happy for most of your life if you are just greedy, but how much money can ordinary people have for you to greedy for in the whole year?"
"All the money you take from a thousand people may not be enough to give one rich person the tip of the iceberg."
"This is what I have said, and you can make your own judgment, but if I find out that you are corrupting ordinary people, you will be in jail for the rest of your life."
Fang Yuan finished speaking.
They analyze the pros and cons themselves.
Be obedient, and everyone will get rich and live a good life in the future.
Those who disobey will either spend the rest of their lives as hard-working officials or go to jail.
"My subordinates understand!"
Including Zhang San, everyone agreed.
"Very good."
"The first task I will give you is to collect all the evidence of the crimes of Sanya Yaxing and Qin Liangcai!"
Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and ordered them to do things.
The counterattack against the three surnames Yahang and Qin Liangcai starts now.
......
I'm glad to hear about Pei's Mansion.
Qin Liangcai asked to see Pei Yinghua again.
"It's the old man who underestimated him. Fang Yuan, this young man, is capable."
Pei Yinghua chuckled.
When he learned that Fang Yuan had invited the top ten trading firms, he was quite surprised.
But it was an accident. He was not shocked or angry. Instead, he felt that Fang Yuan was capable.
"Mr. Pei, that guy Fang Yuan seems to have someone above him."
Qin Liangcai said in a deep voice.
The three major county magistrates, Sima and Chang Shi jointly impeached him, but it did not cause the slightest disturbance. Instead, both Sima and Chang Shi were removed from office.
"It's been confirmed that there is no one above. It was Prime Minister Du who suddenly paid attention to Fang Yuan, and he also approved Fang Yuan's appointment and dismissal documents."
Pei Yinghua chuckled.
He asked someone to check Fang Yuan's information again.
His origin as a refugee could not be found earlier, but he has achieved outstanding results in Wuling County.
If he is more outstanding, he may consider bringing in the Pei family and choose a direct-line woman to marry him.
"Then what does Mr. Pei think we should do?"
Qin Liangcai's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice.
Since there is no background, then die early.
"Tell me what you think."
Pei Yinghua leaned on the stool, shook her fan and smiled.
"Isn't Fang Yuan going to recruit workers?"
"We sent a large number of manpower to join him and kill him with one blow at the critical moment."
Qin Liangcai sneered.
They have no shortage of manpower.
"Well, that's a good way."
"Also, I would like to add that you ask the magistrates of the three counties to strictly control the land in each county and do not sell it to those commercial banks."
Pei Yinghua nodded and said slowly.
When Fang Yuan's documents were obtained, the documents for the reinstatement of the magistrates of the three counties were also returned.
It directly bypasses Fang Yuan, starts from the official department, and reaches the hands of the county magistrates.
This is why there are people in the court who are easy to be officials, so direct and domineering.
