Chapter 104: Set a typical example

Views:

After waiting for a long time, Guan Xiang and Li Yingcai came to Qin Meng.

The two were also cleaned up by the old man Yang Lin. Guan Xiang sent Li Ying to inform Qin Meng, and Li Ying sent Qin Meng directly to let him run away.

Li Ying was detained on the spot, and Guan Xiang was naturally involved.

After Yang Lin fat beat Qin Meng, he left immediately.

But the old man didn't forget to inform the two of them, and directly suggested that Sun Cheng, let him pick up these two as imperial envoys.

Changsun Sheng sent people to reprimand Guan Xiang and Li Ying, and at the same time gave them a punishment of staying for inspection.

This punishment, haha, anyone with a discerning eye can see, it’s not painful or itchy, the one who was beaten hard, and was beaten to the end, but it was a restraint of the two counties, staying for inspection, in fact it was to beat the two of them with the one who was beaten. Classified as a grade.

As long as the one who is beaten doesn't fall, the two who stayed for inspection must be the iron rod that beat the one.

Carefully slap and slap, staying for inspection, maybe it is a kind of reward in disguise.

Qin Meng glanced at Guan Xiang Li Ying. With dust on his face, he knew that both of them had worked hard.

"The two adults have worked hard. I don't know how they are doing the errands?" Qin Meng had a different attitude towards officials and those in the ranks.

This is not to say that Qin and Meng have double standards, but that although both the army and officials serve the country, their functions are completely different.

Military, it should be an order to go on. You have to execute the command perfectly. There is no discussion. If there is discussion, the army will be over, and then the country will be over.

Officials, most of the time, is related to the people's livelihood. They should not engage in the prohibition of orders. They need to be adjusted slowly according to the actual situation. Otherwise, once deviations occur, they will waste people's resources. Self-righteous government orders will always be the beginning of people's livelihood suffering.

Guan Xiangshou said: "All the Wuwei government officials who return to adults, low-ranking posts and other Wuwei government will all go to the countryside. According to the instructions of the adults, a comprehensive investigation of the situation of the people has been carried out. It has been confirmed that 70,000 households need help from the county government to resume production. , Cattle, has been counted, but these figures are only statistics nowadays, and most of them are still in statistics."

Qin Meng nodded: "This is a meticulous work, Ben... I don't ask you to do it quickly, but I must investigate carefully, and there must be no omissions. In addition, how is the investigation of the private affairs of the people, how is it going?"

Guan Xiang and Li Ying took a look, and Li Ying said: "Back to the adults, the progress is quite unsuccessful. The low-ranking class knows that adults mainly focus on the people's livelihood to restore production, so their main energy is focused on this. Checking the matter of taking the Minding privately, resistance Quite a lot, especially some time ago, the government had borrowed a lot of food. Many people used this as an excuse to refuse to accept investigation."

Qin Meng smiled and said, "Hehe, I really embarrass you. The mouth is short, and the hands are soft. You will not run out of front feet, and the back feet will be liquidated?"

After finishing speaking, Qin Meng pondered after a while and said: "Guan Xiang, immediately draw up a booklet, transcribe three points, and send them to the supervising army, the upper post and the household department respectively. With the actual situation of Wuwei's grain raising, it is said that the local authority is strong. It is the matter of privately receiving people and storing massive amounts of food. Considering the local power, lending a helping hand when the country is in crisis, as long as you cooperate with the investigation, spit out the private population, and put it back into national control, you can forget the blame and give awards. If you do your best If you dare to fight the investigation, then do it by business."

Guan Xiang responded and quickly drafted a memorial.

Qin Meng turned to Li Ying and said, "Li Ying, like the Li family is also a powerful Wuwei, I think it's possible to take care of people privately, right?"

Li Ying's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qin Meng patted Li Ying on the shoulder and said: "Li Ying, the saint of today, is wise and brave. It will surely sweep the universe and dominate China. Since the two Jin Dynasties, the local powerhouses have become more and more powerful, and they have been fighting against the court with the imperial court. Not to mention the son of tomorrow. It’s just that if I wait for the ministers, can I tolerate it? Where should I go? I don’t force it, I just hope that one day we will have to do business in the same way."

Li Ying's lips trembled. He knew the tricks of this little boss. If he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't kill and arson like the army, but he didn't care about the consequences.

However, those who really vomit privately, the Li family's income can directly lose more than 60%.

Li Ying's performance was within Qin Meng's expectations.

Qin Meng smiled and said: "The emperor's sage will ensure peace in the world. If you want to rule the world, you will have to adjust the outline. Tell the old man Li Mian, who is suitable for the long-term, and who does not seek the overall situation, is not a corner. For a while. Chengji’s Li family has a long history, so you don’t just care about it, right?"

Li Ying heard the words and hurriedly said: "My lord, go home immediately from your humble duty, and tell the master of the master's pains. The humble duty will do your best to deal with the Li family for the adults and the country!"

Li Ying was sent away, and Guan Xiang's memorial was written.

Qin Meng took a look, asked Guan Xiang to make two copies, signed his name, and sent someone to Yang Lin, Changsun Sheng and the Imperial Household Department, and sent them out.

"Guan Xiang, you can hand it over to your subordinates for the census. Please remember my request, not for quickness, but for completeness. The statistics are summarized, and the figures are reported at one and a half times. I implore the Ministry of Household to transfer. You, get out of the way. Come out, I'll coordinate with you one hundred. Set about investigating the private affairs of people."

Guan Xiang groaned: "My lord, this, I'm afraid this is wrong? Our memorial has just been issued, so can't we wait for Shangfeng's order?"

Qin Meng smiled, Guan Xiang's reaction was the standard attitude of his subordinates towards his superiors.

At this point, Qin Meng didn't appraise the judgment.

But what Qin Meng knows better is that since the Jin Dynasty, the painful lessons of the clan’s threat to the imperial power left Yang Jian too deep. Therefore, to suppress the local clan’s power, not to mention that he can be strongly supported, how can he be acquiesced.

Therefore, Qin Meng dared to do it!

But he can't say that!

"Master Guan, you should be in a hurry. The use of troops in the north will consume a lot of national power. If you don't increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the country will have no resources. Hehe, we are all people who have made mistakes. If you make a few more mistakes, it's okay."

"Stop, sir, stop! You made a mistake. The grandson of that age made a plea for you, and a mistake was made in a humble job, but there is no such high-level person who pleaded for a humble job. This is different."

"Is it like my subordinates? Master Guan, just tell me, when will Qin Meng let my subordinates do things, and let him take care of things when things happen? Let's do things like this, thanks to all of us. Even if there is an accident, I will be held accountable by the peak, and the responsibility is all with me, right?"

Guan Xiang thought for a long time, his lips moved and moved. Finally said: "My lord, you, you won't be humiliated, do you?"

Qin Meng pointed at Guan Xiang and said, "I found that you guys are good enough. Everyone is doing things together. If something goes wrong, for others, it will be over with just a few reprimands. In the end, it was me who was demoted and beaten. But you all seem to have become victims. Why do you say that I am a pit? Is there any reason for this?"

Guan Xiang thought about it, and quickly calmed down: "My lord, don’t get angry. What a humble duty thinks, this is purely a different personal realm. From the perspective of the military officer, you are a good horse for thousands of miles, you are not a flogging, you are a thousand miles away. . And for the low-ranking classmates, just hit them a little bit, lest they won’t be able to pull the car."

Qin Meng's eyes turned round suddenly, Guan Xiang explained, how awkward it is to listen, but how you pick it, you can't find any fault.

"My lord, since you have said everything to this point, what else can you say about the humble job? Just do it, and the humble job will investigate the nasty things that are local and powerful.

"Wait, Lord Guan, how are you going to investigate?" Qin Meng asked.

"Individuals, it is almost an open secret, as long as you follow the trail to find someone and verify that they are not in the county's household registration, you are a black household. If you catch them and ask, you will know everything?" Guan Xiang replied .

Qin Meng snorted, "Wuwei is very powerful. It's really like you said. If you have a thorough investigation, there are countless people involved? Is it enough for you to give you a hundred soldiers?"

Guan Xiangran was stunned. What Qin Meng said was indeed true, but what could he do without thorough investigation

Qin Meng hummed: "Teach you another way, listen up, you don't need to check all the powerful, just set up two typical examples. Li Ying has returned to the Li family to report the matter here, I believe Li Mian will respond to us. Spit out the private servants. For the Li family, we must praise them, and we must have actual rewards."

Speaking of this, Qin Meng said with a cold expression: "If there is a positive model of the Li family, there must be a negative model. Catch the stubborn ones who are fighting against the census privateers, and hit them hard, so as to imitation I don't believe it, other tycoons have such vivid examples, and dare to try their swords!"

Guan Xiang's heart trembled, but he had to admit that Qin Meng's strategy was a clever move.

"Wuwei Lu family, they were dissatisfied with food during the national crisis. It is understandable. But after promised to pay back the food, it is still unwilling to let go, and tell me about the black state of Wuwei government. Send people to watch the county guard, catch the wind and catch the shadow to collect the so-called black It is expected that such behavior is really bad!"

Guan Xiang immediately understood that Qin Meng had already selected the target at this time.

"My lord, take this seriously?" Guan Xiang didn't think that Qin Meng was suspected of avenging his personal revenge, because the behavior of the Lu family, as Qin Meng said, would not be tolerated by all officials in Wuwei.

You say you are wronged, go and file a complaint, it's okay.

The point is, you shouldn't make up your sins indiscriminately, even if it's a county guard.

When Yang Lin came to deal with Qin Meng, he made it clear that he had secretly met the daughters of the Turkic royal family and businessmen, and was suspected of having personal friendships with enemy captives and chaotic private lives.

This is obviously something that cannot withstand scrutiny, but it is also impossible to verify in doubt. Anyway, you can't do anything to people, but it can be enough to disgust you.

Qin Meng was the acting county guard, and he was so disgraced by the Lu Family (if it is true) that it was not just Qin Meng's face that was lost. Wuwei officials, everyone has a share!

Therefore, Guan Xiang needs to be sure that it is really the Lu family. Then the Lu family is not a negative model. Who is eligible to be a negative model? (End of this chapter)
