Governor please stay

Chapter 594

This autumn, in order to celebrate the domestic harvest, it was also to go south to Guangzhou to suppress the rebellion and buy people's hearts.

The Jiankang Center of Liang Guo issued an edict in the name of the emperor, amnesty for the world!The tax burden that should be handed over next year has been reduced and exempted.According to the difference between the rich and the poor in each county, the tax relief ranges from [-]% to [-]%.There will be more reductions in poor counties and fewer or no reductions in wealthy counties.

In any case, it's not a bad thing after all.

Moreover, the imperial court will evaluate according to the results of the trial next year. In the next few years, it will adjust the amount of tax burden according to the specific conditions of each county and county.

For a time, all counties and counties in Liang State came to the table, singing praises for the kindness and love of the emperor and King Wu, as if the prosperous age had come.

However, on the other hand, Liu Yishou asked Chen Yuankang to use the name of Shangshufu to recruit local officials such as prefects and county magistrates from all over the country. Before the winter solstice, he must go to Jiankang to report on his work and participate in the evaluation, referred to as Jingcha!Those who fail to arrive on time will be immediately dismissed and investigated!

Only those who pass the assessment can continue to hold the position for a new term of three years.

In other words, it is estimated that it will be easy to become an official next year or even the next three years, because the imperial court center has lower requirements for tax collection.But at that time, you were still the official, but not necessarily, it depends on the results of the imperial court's assessment.

Or to put it simply, it depends on the "impression" of Wu Wang Liu Yishou on you.It's just a matter of one sentence to replace you.Of course, those who want to make excuses cannot come. Judging from the current situation of Liang Guo, doing so is almost the same as self-destructing the future.

If you go to Jiankang, you can still take a gamble. If you don't go, you will definitely die!
The chief officials of various counties and counties who learned of this edict handed over the government affairs in their hands one after another, got up and went to Jiankang to report on their duties, feeling apprehensive and lucky.

What if nothing happens?
In the past two years, there have been relatively few natural and man-made disasters in Liang Guo, which can be regarded as a rare stable time in the past few decades. Many prefects and county magistrates think that the so-called "Jingcha" is just a formality.

At that time, if Liu Yishou takes the opportunity to carry out large-scale purges, they will gather together to keep warm and resist the imperial court's decree!
However, what happened later made them shatter their eyes.

Indeed, the imperial court did not carry out a large-scale elimination of these chief officials of counties and counties, and it also eliminated a small number of scumbags who were indeed poor in political performance and had a bad reputation in the local area.

But the center of the imperial court has a surprising new move!
Shangshufu established several central yamen that were independent from the Ministry of Household Affairs and were at the same level as it, such as the Department of Mines, the Department of Salt and Iron, the Department of Chief Administration, the Department of Transshipment, and the Department of Farmland and Water Conservancy.The reform of "government flattening" began. Through the establishment of new yamen, part of the local financial power was owned by the central government, and the local governments were no longer allowed to get involved in business tax, salt tax, mining tax collection and other related matters.

Part of the financial power was also separated from the household department to avoid excessive weight and lead to an imbalance in the court's power structure.

The imperial court will set up independent local yamen in each prefecture and state capital, with special responsibilities and special funds for special collection.

Liu Yishou called the chief officials of the counties and counties to come to Beijing to investigate. The main purpose was not to fight against the party and carry out purges, but to get these people to sign the "guarantee". When it comes to "integrity issues", it is not only a lack of ability, but a lack of personal morality.

In other words, since it is signed, it is a promise to King Wu.In the future, if you don't do things in the face of obedience and disobedience, that is, you don't want to slap Liu Yishou in the face, and you will be counted as having personal grievances against King Wu and maliciously resisting the court's new policies.

He will definitely be severely punished to death afterwards.

Liu Yishou will use the operation of local government affairs in the next few years to judge who is virtuous, who is virtuous, and who deliberately opposes the court.Then we should recruit those people who should be recruited, and suppress what should be suppressed.

As for those typical people with no talent and no morals, Jingcha has already brushed them off, so there is no need to mention them.

If this is not the case, why will the imperial court give tax relief to local counties next year?
Isn't it because there are fewer projects that can make money, so the court is sympathetic to the local difficulties!And when this part of the financial power is returned to the center, Liu Yishou can use it to expand his armaments, build bridges, roads, and canals in various places, and prepare for the Northern Expedition while reclaiming farmland and building water conservancy.

In the era of Liu Yishou's previous life, even calls had to be charged.Now that technology and productivity are so backward in this era, it is much more difficult to fight this kind of work than it was when he made a phone call.

How can you play around without money?

If you don't charge money, those soldiers who participated in the war can't generate electricity for love. They have to live, and what they fight is money!The more money and food there is, the greater the probability of error tolerance and the greater the possibility of winning!

At the same time, the center has also taken over the responsibility for local relief from the states and counties of various regions. In the future, it will concentrate the power of the whole country to rescue one disaster.

These local county and county chiefs, when disasters occur in the future, if they barely survive in the early stage, it will be regarded as an account to the central court, and they will no longer be held accountable without a bottom line.In other words, although there is less financial power in hand, the responsibility for local governance has also decreased.

From this point of view, it is just that the times have changed in the future, and it is not entirely a bad thing for them.

……

Taking advantage of the wind of "amnesty under heaven", Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin, who should have been implicated and questioned, were pardoned by the imperial court except for themselves, and they were no longer "sinners".

But the two of them are still guilty, and they are detained in the cell of Dali Temple in Jiankang City, and no one cares about them for the time being.

Of course, there was no Dali Temple in the Liang Kingdom before, and Liu Yishou later ordered a new one to be built to house "reexamination" death row prisoners and felons with special identities.

The criminals who can walk out of Dali Temple are either pardoned by the central government, or they have been cleared of their injustices because of unjust, false and wrong cases, or they are unlucky people who are about to be executed by "Qiu Hou Wen" and go out to the execution ground .

There is no third kind of prisoner.

Dali Temple is currently under the management of Cui Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.Cui Xian, a member of the northern family, has no kinship with people from Jiankang, and he himself does not have as many friends as Chen Yuankang.

Cui Xian only recognizes the Fa and Liu Yishou's orders, and other people can't get along even if they want to make connections.

Therefore, the Dali Temple in Jiankang City is now a desperate place for Liang people to talk about it.Those who went in could only beg their fathers and grandmas to kowtow in front of Liu Yishou, there was no other way to go.

Several younger brothers of Wang Sengbian, such as Wang Sengzhi, Wang Sengmin and others, Wang Lin's elder brother Wang Xun, Wang Lin's wife Cai, and others all visited Wu Wangfu on Jiming Mountain to plead with Liu Yishou and ask Liu Yishou to allow Wang Seng Bian and Wang Lin both committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds, and went south to Guangzhou with the army to quell the rebellion. Their family was grateful for the great kindness of the imperial court.

Liu Yishou said that the matter is a little difficult, he will find a way, but he does not guarantee that it will be done in the end.However, he still magnanimously expressed that Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin followed Xiao Yi only for their own masters, and there was no heinous act.

We can first improve the living and living conditions of Wang Sengbian and others.After all, these two are not ordinary criminals, they were both "implicated" because of Xiao Yi's treason, such an arrangement is nothing more than legal principles and human feelings.

So Liu Yishou ordered Cui Xian to prepare a single-room courtyard in the inner courtyard of Dali Temple, where Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin were detained together, eating and living together every day.

The room is clean and tidy, with good lighting, and there are four treasures of the study. Every day, someone delivers food to the gate of the courtyard, and there is no one guarding it.Wang Sengbian and Wang Sengbian can even go to the small courtyard for activities and live a relatively free life, but they just cannot leave the courtyard.

To put it simply, the former captivity has been turned into house arrest!

It's a crisp autumn day and the weather is fine.Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin chatted in the yard with nothing to do. From the panic when they first came to the calmness now, they finally figured it out. Liu Yishou would have killed them long ago, so there was no need to go through such fuss.

The two were chatting while playing chess, and for some reason they started talking about what happened when Jiangling City was broken.

"Juncai (Wang Sengbian Biaozi), as the governor of Xiao Yi, why don't you stop him from going crazy in the government office?"

When Wang Lin remembered that her two nephews and sister had died under Xiao Yi's sword, she was so angry!

He deeply regretted that he hadn't turned against the water in advance, otherwise his family would not have died, and he would not be under house arrest now.

Both Wang Lin and Wang Sengbian heard later that the imperial court had adopted a very soft policy, and those who were punished by Qiu Hou were almost negligible, including those brothers under Wang Lin's command, only those who had killed innocent people indiscriminately were liquidated.

Even those who sit on the fence like Xiao Bo are living in Jiankang safely.

The family members of Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin were also pardoned. When the two were transferred here and placed under house arrest, those people also came to visit once.

If he had known that Liu Yishou was so generous, Wang Lin felt that when she was contributing to Xiao Yi, she would be done with a little hard work, so why bother to go to war seriously?So many brothers died!
He worked so hard, how did Xiao Yi repay him?

In addition, Wang Lin also hated Wang Sengbian who was also in Jiangling City back then, but did not stop Xiao Yi from killing people!
"Ziheng (Wang Lin's name), I was betrayed by my subordinates and captured at the top of the city. How do you ask me to rescue me?"

Wang Sengbian smiled wryly.He sympathizes with Wang Lin's experience, but what can he do?At that time, Xie Daren turned against him, and Wang Sengbian couldn't do anything he wanted to!

"Ugh!"

Wang Lin sighed, he is not unreasonable, it's just that many things are really unbearable!Thinking about it makes people unable to suppress the irritability in their hearts!
Among Xiao Yi's descendants, only Xu Zhaopei's son Xiao Fang is still alive and has inherited the title, although he has no land.

The other heirs, including sister Wang Lin's two sons, died under Xiao Yi's sword. Is it necessary for Wang Lin to serve Xiao Fang and others?
His sister Wang Guibin was killed by Xu Zhaopei!
Wang Lin is full of anger now and doesn't know who to turn to. Xiao Yi, the former lord, has become an enemy, not to mention dead.

You said Liu Yishou was an enemy, right? He even pardoned your whole family for their crimes, even your own brothers came to persuade him.Besides, Liu Yishou only suppressed the rebellion, firstly, he didn't plunder Jiangling, and secondly, he didn't massacre Xiao Yi's relatives, Wang Lin couldn't hate him even if he wanted to.

It can't be said that Xiao Yi is going to rebel, and then let the court not fight back, right?

Wang Lin doesn't even know who to trouble her with now!

"hateful!"

He hammered the stone table heavily, suppressing the grief in his heart.His two nephews died unjustly, and his sister died without any reason.Xiao Yi's idea of ​​"I will take you to the underworld with me when I die" is really chilling.

"Although there are many heroes in Liang Guo, the only true hero is King Wu."

Wang Sengbian couldn't help sighing with emotion.

It's not difficult to wipe out Xiao Yi, what's difficult is to handle the aftermath properly.Killing people is not difficult, but winning people's hearts is difficult.Wang Sengbian just felt that Liu Yishou, in terms of winning people's hearts, no one in Liang Guo could steal his edge.

As far as going south to Wuling for disaster relief, the world is so big, only Liu Dudu can do this.This move reversed the impression of Liang Guoshu in the hearts of the people that he "doesn't do anything when things happen, and usually manages things blindly".

Take Xiao Yan's "Fushan Weir" incident for comparison.Xiao Yan was also very ambitious back then, and wanted to do the same thing as Liu Yishou.As a result, nothing was done except costing countless money and food and drowning tens of thousands of people.

The prestige of Liang Guozhu in Lianghuai plummeted!The hearts of the people are lost!

Now, Liu Yishou's relief work in Wuling County has not only done things in a timely manner, but also done it beautifully and won the hearts of the people.In such a comparison, the judgment is judged.

Wang Sengbian thought secretly that the new emperor in the south would be Liu Yishou, and no one could compete with him.The only suspense is whether he will become Liu Yu, and in the end he will fail and become a corner, or he can follow Liu Bang to sweep the world and create great achievements.

"You two seem to be living a very leisurely life."

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Liu Yishou came in wearing coarse cotton clothes and said.

Although this style is very monotonous and even crude, in fact, the cost of cotton spinning is very high nowadays, and the cost of cotton is still high, and the supply exceeds demand.This is a very comfortable cotton coat in autumn, and it is expensive.

It's not that he wants to wear coarse clothes to pretend to be aggressive, but that the cotton spinning technology is not yet advanced, and the spun yarn cannot be spun. This kind of clothes may be very cheap and popular among the people in the future, but now it is indeed a low-key luxury.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Wu."

Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin stood up and saluted respectfully, not daring to show any arrogance on their faces.Not to mention what they think in their hearts, even if it is for the sake of their children and relatives, they can't put on a show like before.

"In the spring of next year, the king intends to send troops to Guangzhou, and will go to Nankang County in advance in the winter. You are also people who have experienced battles, are you willing to go south with the king to suppress the rebellion?"

Liu Yishou helped them up and asked.

"I'm waiting for the king of Wu to follow suit!"

Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin said excitedly, isn't that what they were waiting for!

"Well, that's good. The crimes on your body will be judged by the court's own law. This king cannot pardon you. But now that the court is employing people, you two are allowed to atone for your sins and lead troops to follow the king to the south to make peace. Rebel.

I will let you leave here today, and the king also asked the court to issue a notice that you will be recruiting former cronies in Jiankang in the near future, and wait for the court to recruit at any time. "

Liu Yishou patted the shoulders of the two and said.

"Order!"

The two clasped their hands together, sonorously and forcefully!
"Well, seeing that your spirits are still there, I feel relieved."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave.

He saw that the two seemed to have something to say, so he asked with a smile: "The two generals seem to have something to ask, right?"

"Your Highness, we have committed serious crimes, and it is really surprising that we can be pardoned by the court, so I have this question."

Wang Sengbian asked hesitantly, and Wang Lin nodded, thinking the same way.

"Doing things for Xiao Yi is just to fight for power and profit. Small merits are not enough to exaggerate, and serious crimes will go down in history.

I followed the king to the south to suppress the rebellion, for the purpose of unifying the country, and in the future, he will also unify the world, end a century of war, and create a prosperous age that has not been seen in a thousand years.

It is to make great achievements, do great deeds, be famous in history, and be passed down forever!

Which of them is right and which is wrong, you have your own judgment in your heart, so why do you need me to say more?You don't need to promise anything to this king, just use your military exploits to prove yourself in the future. "

Liu Yishou waved his hand, turned and left the courtyard, leaving Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin in meditation for a long time.

　The sequence of the storyboards was adjusted to let Dudu Liu's plot go first, without affecting the overall plot.I'm still preparing Rouran's information
