Yuan Bin slowly spoke two words: "People's heart!"
Jia Kun suddenly fell silent. These two words have always been spoken by others, but in fact, this is not the case.
What is the people?
In the eyes of scholars, those who call them the people need at least a certain status and ordinary people are not considered people.
Officials often recommend that the emperor reduce taxes, but in fact, it is not the people who reduce it, but the gentry.
How much food can those mud legs who dig in the field grow throughout the year?
For them, the more tax, the less tax, is not very meaningful.
However, for real gentry and wealthy families, if the court could reduce certain taxes, whether it was grain tax or commercial tax, the impact would be great.
In a sense, gentry is also the people and can represent all the people, because they not only control most of the world's wealth, but also control the public opinion of the world.
Therefore, whenever the court issued an order to reduce taxes, some people would praise it. However, when the court needed it, they could only suffer the people again and again.
How could Jia Kun not know the tricks in this?
The problem is that so what if he knows, just say that Mr. Liu took off his official clothes and sent him to his family, it was not difficult for him to get rid of a prefect.
All the gentry had long formed a community of interests, either integrating into them or...dead!
Although Jia Kun was unwilling to be with them, he could only make a fuss, at least not dared to go against others on the surface.
This is why when Sun received a complaint, his first reaction was not to solve the problem, but to solve the person who raised the problem.
Yuan Bin continued: "The Jinyiwei could have investigated and dealt with this case directly, but the Jinyiwei has always been the Jinyiwei and cannot replace the local government. Now the Japanese commander has handled Liu Sanjiang. Zhang Sanjiang and Wang Sanjiang will appear again tomorrow. Who will take care of it?
”
"Before my commander left, the emperor specifically instructed that this great purge would not only completely eliminate the borers of the court, but also better change the administration and the image of officials in the hearts of the people."
"Why are the people afraid of officials and why do they dare not report to officials if something happens? Think about it, what have you done in the past?"
"Is it impossible to determine the case like Sun's case just by biting it to death without evidence, or even a false accusation?"
"Master Jia, I have checked your details. Although it is suspected of protecting each other by officials, in general, it is still honest and has not made a lot of money or corrupt acts of corruption and abuse of power. Therefore, I gave you this opportunity to correct your reputation and let you
The people know that you, the prefect, are the parents who can really make decisions for them. They have been wronged and can have a place to appeal."
Jia Kun's face became increasingly ugly, and his forehead was soaked with sweat.
If someone else said this to him, he might laugh it off and say in his heart, you are still too young and don’t know how deep the water in the officialdom is.
However, the person in front of him was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the meaning was different.
"I can handle Liu Sanjiang today, and I can handle you tomorrow. I hope you can do it yourself!"
After Yuan Bin said the last sentence, he ignored it and turned around and left.
Jia Kun only felt cold sweat flowing on his back, and he could no longer hold back. His whole body became soft and he collapsed on the ground.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Not far behind him, two officers hurried forward and helped him up from the ground in a hurry.
"Master, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to hire a doctor?"
"No, no need..."
Jia Kun slowly stood up and said, "Listen, cooperate with the Jinyiwei to investigate the Liu family's case."
"Ah? Really done?"
"nonsense!"
Jia Kun suddenly lowered his face and said, "I have something to say first. Who dares not do your best or collect cash in private? Once it is found out, it will be immediately dismissed from office and investigated and punished for the same crime!"
"Also, go back and find out all the accumulated cases of the past and notify the victims one by one. Our government will accept them again and post notices throughout the city. No matter who has any grievances or who wants to sue them, our government will not refuse!"
"This is!"
Jia Kun is a smart person. He already understands it very clearly. The emperor is ready to take action.
If you can't see the situation clearly, not only will you lose your gauze on your head, but you may also be killed at any time.
Soon, he felt relieved.
If you are like this, why worry about the world being unable to be governed?
In just a few days, Yingtian Prefecture received hundreds of letters of letters.
Many of the confessions are even written in a mess, some of which only have one sentence, just a few words, and one more excessive, with only one big word of injustice.
If it were in the past, I would not even read such a confession, but today I would not refuse anyone and all of them were promoted to the court for review.
Seeing the people in the hall telling all kinds of grievances, he felt ashamed in his heart. He had been the prefect for three years and thought that the people were clean and upright, and that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Unexpectedly, there were so many horrifying news hidden behind the bright and beautiful appearance.
The pickled activities.
All the servants were busy, arresting people everywhere, and the local well-known gentry were arrested.
When encountering those who do not cooperate or even openly confront them, they will not be accustomed to them and just draw their swords and do it.
"Open the door, open the door!"
There is a big mansion in the south of the city, and a group of servants in public uniforms are calling out.
"Who?"
An impatient voice came from inside, and then the door opened a crack.
The concierge poked his head out, looked at the officers outside, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"When Yingtianfu handles a case, there is a case that asked Mr. Wang to go there to assist in the investigation!"
"Do you know who my master is?"
The condor looked contemptuous and said, "Even if your prefect comes to invite him personally, it depends on whether my master will appreciate his face. It's up to you..."
Bang!
Ban Tou kicked the door open and said angrily: "I don't care who you are. Let's go and tell your Master Wang, either follow me by yourself or tie it up and take it away!"
The concierge fell to the ground and shouted, "I'm going to be rebellious, I'm going to beat me, come here!"
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen guards came over to protect the hospital, holding sticks and looking fierce.
Seeing this, the head of the troupe pulled out his knife and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to rebel against the official officers openly?"
These people stopped when they saw each other showing their swords.
"Go ahead, beat them up! Our young master is a high-ranking official in the capital, what are you afraid of?"
The concierge was still yelling, but no one dared to step forward.
These people are smart in their hearts. It would be fine to bully the common people on weekdays, after all, the people do not have a knife in their hands.
How can you fight for a little salary every month?
The head of the class took a step forward and put the knife around the doorman's neck.
"The prefect has an order to obstruct the case handler and kill him or her!
The concierge sneered, "Do you know who my young master is?"
