The magistrate of Yongxian County was dismissed from office, his family property was confiscated, and he was sentenced to exile because of eighteen charges including colluding with bandits, taking bribes and perverting the law, using public funds for personal use, accepting bribes...
The county magistrate of Ji County allowed thieves to commit crimes, and the officials and gangsters colluded. He was also removed from office and imprisoned, waiting for further verification of the charges. The outcome will not be much better than that of the magistrate of Yong County.
As soon as the news came out, countless people in the two counties clapped their hands and cheered.
As the father-in-law officials of the two counties, they not only failed to make decisions for the people, but instead colluded with bandits and poisoned the countryside, making the public order under their jurisdiction unsettled and the people complaining. It is all their own fault for their current ending, and it is also the expectation of the people of the two counties.
Long awaited.
All of this is naturally thanks to His Highness King Jing who just arrived in Shuzhou.
As soon as he arrived in Shuzhou, he used thunderous power to take down two corrupt officials, and also strictly ordered local governments to arrest bandits, maintain public order, and return a clear sky to Shuzhou...
Just two things allowed him to gain the support and love of the people of Shuzhou in a very short period of time.
Compared with the King of Shu who only knew how to plunder the people's wealth and harm the people, King Jing was undoubtedly thousands of times better. Even just comparing these two people, everyone would feel that this was an insult to His Highness King King.
They are both kings, so why is the gap between kings so big?
They had been waiting for who knows how many years to find such a wise master. The days to come should be much better.
The people were in a happy mood, and there were more smiles on their faces. After dinner, the topic always mentioned His Highness Prince Jing, who was praised by countless people...
Legend has it that he is handsome, as handsome as jade, and is one of the most beautiful men in the world.
Legend has it that he had great literary talent and eloquent speaking skills, and was recognized as the most talented person in Jingguo.
Legend has it that he was extremely skilled in martial arts and was a worldly hero with both civil and military skills.
He is elegant, humble, and decisive. He is also very decisive, resolute, and merciless when dealing with bad people. He is His Royal Highness King Jing, and he is such a noble and pure person.
In the private courtyard, Li Yi held Ruo Qing's waist and said, "Move a little wider, yes, yes, that's it..."
Ruoqing's face turned red with embarrassment and she bit her red lips. The numbness in her waist made her unable to calm down.
After correcting Ruo Qing's movements, he walked over and patted Zui Mo's butt, and said: "It needs to be a little more raised here. Martial arts training is just like your dancing. In addition to practicality, it also pays great attention to aesthetics..."
Zui Mo was not as reserved as Ruo Qing, so when no one was paying attention, he pinched his waist, gave him a look, and ran to Ruo Qing's side.
Although they have not been able to give her a formal wedding until now, there is only one last step left between them.
After the renovation of the new mansion was completed, it was time to pay her back what she owed her.
Everyone in the Li family now practices martial arts, which is of course different from Miss Liu Er’s original intention of pursuing the end of martial arts. Yongning does it to protect him after learning martial arts well, and Zuimo and Ruoqing do it because they heard that practicing that kind of martial arts can delay aging and rejuvenate their youth.
Forever--not many women can resist the temptation of these words.
Of course, Li Yi also hopes that they can learn some kung fu, firstly, to protect themselves, and secondly, to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives. They are weak in body and bones. He does not ask them to practice martial arts as well as Miss Liu Er and bully him every day. As long as they can
With some ability to protect himself and strengthen his physique, Li Yi was satisfied.
"Ruyi..." He walked to Miss Liu Er and just raised his hand. When she looked over, Li Yi immediately waved his hand and said: "Ruyi, your movements are very standard and there is no need to correct it at all..."
Yongning's horse stance has become very stable. She is still in the stage of practicing basic skills, and her movements are not very standard. Li Yi stood opposite her, made a standard horse stance, and said: "Look, the horse stance
Step, be like me..."
"Why are you like this? Don't teach children bad things..." Miss Liu Er came over from behind, pressed his shoulders, kicked his butt again, and said: "Push your butt down a little bit more, and then...
…”
Li Yi rubbed his butt and whispered: "Can you be gentle..."
"Do you want to be gentle?" Miss Liu Er looked at him and said, "Why don't we go to the yard next to you and tell me how to be gentle?"
It’s better to go to the yard next to it. It’s in the public place, and people will gossip if they see it. What’s more important is Miss Liu Er’s tenderness and love. He can’t bear it. Li Yi shook his head, looked at Yongning and said: "Remember
No more, you have to listen to sister Ruyi and push it down a little bit..."
…
"Are things going well recently?" In a small courtyard, Miss Chen San poured him a cup of tea and asked softly.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Everything is going well. There are some things that cannot be rushed. Let's take it one step at a time."
Fighting corrupt officials and eliminating banditry is the first step in governing Shuzhou.
The dismissal of the two county magistrates of Yongxian and Jixian served as a warning to the monkeys. All the government offices in Shuzhou were extremely responsible and conscientious in suppressing bandits. In a short period of time, the suppression of bandits achieved remarkable results.
A large part of the reason for this is that the government has changed from condoning bandits to not condoning them. A large number of bandits no longer dare to act rashly. The so-called bandits can be easily solved in this way.
There is no need to rush for the next thing. The bandits have to be eliminated bit by bit. Just wait patiently.
There are just too many chores that need to be dealt with every day, and he has to nod for everything in Shuzhou, so he is even busier than when he was in Kyoto.
This is not what he wants. The position of governor of Shuzhou cannot be left empty. He needs to find a capable person to take it. But the problem is that there is currently no one under him who is qualified to serve as governor of a state.
How about asking him to send a reliable person when writing a letter to Li Xuan next month?
"Lift your feet."
Chen Chong held a broom in his hand and swept over. He glanced at Li Yi and said lightly.
The third young lady did not ask him to arrange too many servants here, and she told him that she now occasionally had to do some work of sweeping the floor and wiping the tables.
"You did a good job on this matter." Chen Chong said casually while scanning: "Most of the bandits in Shuzhou are government-raised. As long as the government does not condone them, half of the banditry problems will be gone."
He glanced at Li Yi's feet and said: "However, some provisions are not perfect yet. There have been several incidents of merchants falsely reporting losses. If we ignore it and hold on to the government, it will upset the hearts of Shuzhou officials."
Being anxious will have the opposite effect."
Li Yi took a sip of tea and asked with interest: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"After this incident, the collusion between officials and bandits no longer exists. The focus should be on wiping out the remaining bandits. Shuzhou officials can no longer bear the heavy pressure and should focus on appeasing them, with a mallet in one hand and a jujube in the other.
There’s no way you don’t understand the truth...”
"Then what?"
"You just said "governance", which requires both governance and management. Shuzhou is geographically remote and far away from Kyoto, but it is a rare commercial town. There are countless businessmen traveling to and from many countries through this place. It's a pity that Shuzhou
The state officials were just blinded by a little profit..."
"Any more?"
"The geographical location is unique. If the banditry in Shuzhou is eliminated, the Qingming government is governed with a long-term vision, attracting businessmen from all over the world, encouraging people to engage in farming, and promoting production... In a dozen years at most, this place will become the second Kyoto."
…
Li Yi put down his teacup and looked at Chen Chong, as if he were seeing a piece of dusty gold.
Sure enough, the old fox is an old fox. He can reach his position in the world, and it is definitely not through the back door...
Thinking of this, he realized that Chen Qing, the humble Chen Qing of the old Chen family, was definitely not a fuel-efficient person. After all, being able to reach the position of a servant was not just a matter of going through the back door.
Li Yi looked at him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "Master Chen..."
Chen Chong held the broom with a look of vigilance on his face and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask..." Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Do you long for power?"
