Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Hanyang has gradually stabilized, everything is back on track, and people have begun to adapt to the new order. Judging from the current situation, the people have adapted well.

This is beyond the expectation of many people, such as the original upper class in Hanyang. This group of people includes scholars, officials, and wealthy businessmen. None of them thinks that the people can change. After all, in their eyes, the people are ignorant and only care about them. Now.

But now they suddenly discovered that the people are not afraid of change. To be precise, it is not that they are not afraid, but that they adapt quickly. When they find that this change cannot be reversed and cannot be stopped, their acceptance is even better than those above. Even stronger.

Lin Yuan looked at the clan chief and wealthy businessman sitting at the bottom, and said gently, "Use tea."

Although most of today’s social units are small families, patriarchs still exist. They will integrate the power of the entire clan and seek greater development. Such families will have many contradictions, but one thing is clear, that is, they can Gathering a huge organization, this organization is tied by blood, coupled with traditional ideas, it seems that it can be easily disintegrated, but in fact it has its indestructible side.

The one who can be invited by Lin Yuan is naturally the most present and powerful among all the clans.

They also knew that Hanyang had changed hands, and they didn't give Lin Yuan a cold face. From now on, they wanted to beg for a living under Lin Yuan's hands. They would fight against Lin Yuan. Isn't that just looking for death?

So one by one was as honest as a quail in front of Lin Yuan.

The merchants don’t care who the boss is on their heads, they only care about whether they can go on their future trade routes and whether they can continue to make money. As long as Lin Yuan doesn’t copy their home, they can continue to make money, of course. Lin Yuan said what he said.

The scholars in Hanyang are more sensible than the scholars in Changshu, and they are all very well-behaved. They didn't look up when they sat down.

They had already undergone a change. Hanyang moved from the hands of the imperial court to the hands of the anti-thief. Besides, they had no support for the Yuan Dynasty at first, and no one in the family was an official of the Yuan Dynasty. He lived in the hands of Xu Shouhui. It's good, and when it comes to Lin Yuan's hands, he naturally wants to live well.

It would be a surprise if I could get an official.

After the meeting was over, Lin Yuan had almost felt their bottom, and could only rest well when he returned to the room at night.

Chen Baisong always followed him today. Lin Yuan also deliberately brought Chen Baisong. It is not a bad thing to only fight wars, but wherever he gets older in the future, he must be able to stay there. It is always not a bad thing to learn more. Lin Yuan himself has no object to learn. By doing things through groping, I have also accumulated some experience and insights, which is just right to teach Chen Baisong.

"Talking to them all day, what did you tell me?" Chen Baisong made Lin Yuan tea.

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's all grass, looking at the direction of the wind, what can you say?"

"It's the little government officials who are down there. They don't have much power in their hands. If they really want to move, the ants can swallow the elephants. They just take the lead."

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan: "Is the leader coming out?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, but these little officials, if they are not used, I think it is a waste. After all, they have been working for a long time, they know more people than I brought, and they are also familiar with Hanyang. When they use them, they are afraid of rebelliousness. Hidden danger."

Who knows if there are any loyal supporters of Xu Shouhui, or informants left by Ni Wenjun?

Lin Yuan asked: "What do you say?"

Chen Baisong: "Kill a batch and keep a batch."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's easy to kill, but how do you kill? How do you know who is right to kill? A wrong step makes it hard to go later."

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan, and the two looked at each other. In the end, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Think again."

Chen Baisong: "Let the people...what do you say?"

Lin Yuan: "Report."

Chen Baisong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, report it. The people report it. If it is verified, behead."

Lin Yuan said strangely: "How to find out?"

Chen Baisong: "Whoever gets the most reports will be decapitated."

Lin Yuan: "...It's rude, but it's not useless. It's a useful method. How can you tell the informant?"

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan earnestly. Just when Lin Yuan thought he would have any ideas, Chen Baisong said straightforwardly: "I can't think of it."

Lin Yuan: "Think again."

Chen Baisong poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking the tea he still said, "Difficult."

Lin Yuan sighed: "If the one who has been reported the most is kept, the informant will naturally look for him."

Chen Baisong: "Why?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The one who oppresses the people the most is naturally the hardest backstage. When the informant finds him, he can get more information. In addition, we are also protecting him. The informant will naturally follow us in the future. It’s easiest to find him if you’ve met each other, or if it’s ours. After all, they were originally Hanyang's little officials, so how can they meet each other?

Chen Baisong understood: "This is a target."

Lin Yuan went to serve the teacup at this time: "It's good if you can think of a way for the people to report it. Take your time."

Thinking of the common people, Chen Baisong already made Lin Yuan very satisfied.

Most scholars who have received higher education in this era believe that the people don’t need to think about anything. They only need to have children, work and grow food. The people have very little power. Even if there are express regulations, they are generally In other words, this kind of law is only useful when the emperor is strong.

When the imperial power fell by the side and the centralized power disappeared, the officials below became the local emperors, and the regulations became a dead letter.

If Chen Baisong were replaced by Wu Changqing today, Lin Yuan clearly knew that although Wu Changqing would also want to kill a batch and leave a batch, he would never think of letting the people report it.

Because "people" is useless, and "public opinion" is also useless.

The people have no power, their ideas are not valued by the upper echelon, and the people themselves are used to this behavior pattern for thousands of years, and no one thinks it is wrong.

Over time, people at the upper echelons will naturally no longer take "public opinion" in their eyes.

After all, this thing is vague and useless.

No one can be an emperor by "public opinion", that is, to be a good official and win the hearts of the people. When the emperor wants to behead his head, he will only delay a little.

Public opinion is neither a gold medal exemption from death, nor can they allow them to be promoted to the title.

Soon, Hanyang began a vigorous reform movement-Lin Yuan himself shouted so.

The people gathered together, and they told the inspector the name of the little official who had bullied them they remembered. The inspector would write it down, and then count, there was one such office in every three streets.

People report during the day and statistics at night.

After working so hard for half a month, clearer and more general data have come out.

The most reported person was a small official named Hu Yu. He was the nephew of a county official. He had a nepotism. Because he had never read a book, he could not become an official. He could only be a small official. There was no shortage of things in Yurou Township. Mingmingyue doesn't have much salary, but every meal can be a big deal, often in and out of the casino.

There is a sweet wife in the family, and his wife is Xiaojiabiyu, who was forcibly robbed home.

There is still a good picture outside.

Many small officials with no backstage are willing to follow him, as long as they follow him, they can get more benefits.

When Hanyang City was breached, Hu Yu stayed at home. He didn't dare to go anywhere, and his wife didn't care about it. He didn't care about his friends. He packed his own things and fled when the situation was not right.

Now it’s peaceful, the newly arrived Nan Wang seems to be ready to re-enable their original Hanyang officials, and Hu Yu appeared again, but this time he didn’t dare to shout five and six as before. After all, he fell backstage, so naturally he would shrink. The neck is a man.

When he found a new backer, he dared to return to his previous appearance.

The small officials have their own circle, and the original friends got together again to discuss the most popular reports.

"I don't know if I am..." One of them frowned and took a sip of wine.

"Or, shall we run away?"

"Can you escape? There are heavy guards everywhere, can we fly out?"

"What are you worried about? If there are too many bad things, then people can remember everything? I can't remember."

"You said lightly, you forgot? You go to see the jade from the ancestral family, but they don't give it to you. You almost killed the family. Tell me, should they report you now?"

"Don't talk about me, aren't you the same? Going to a brothel does not give money, and even smashes the shop. It is like killing a parent. They must report you too."

"You still played with two prostitutes! If you lose them in the wasteland, you can't find anything to do with this matter!"

"Stop talking! We are flustered here. Naturally, some people are more flustered than us. We know what other people are like. We may not cut us all when the King of the South comes up? Take a thousand steps back and say, really want to cut us. It’s not now, and it’s the most convenient time when you enter the city."

"So don't worry, don't panic. Maybe the Southern King just scared us, chopped off a few heads, and killed the chickens and monkeys. This is not uncommon, don't you think?"

Hu Yu said to the side, "What about me? Should I be okay?"

The friend glanced at him, smiled hard, and comforted: "Maybe it's okay."

Although he was a friend, Hu Yu used to have eyes on his forehead, and no one looked up to him. Even if he was a small official, he would do anything if he didn't agree with him, and others would not dare to fight back.

If things go on like this, there are echoworms who follow him.

And these echo worms also wish he was unlucky.

Hu Yu was still worried: "You said, should I find a way to give some gifts?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had an expression of "There is still this way". Corrupt officials have for a long time, and they have forgotten their own job. Bribery is their job!

"Yes, yes, find someone to give gifts and find ways."

"Go ask more tomorrow, and be careful!"
