Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chapter 239 Investigate the corrupt officials of the Wei Empire and kill them!

After Cao Yang's appearance, the wealthy family in Xudu greatly admired pork. However, a big family is a big family, and a wealthy family is a wealthy family. In the eyes of most people, eating pork is still a symbol of lack of money and lowness.

Therefore, serious and powerful families still do not choose to raise pigs.

This situation was quickly learned by Ju Shou, so Ju Shou immediately entered the court to make a memorial: "Your Majesty, nowadays almost no one in the Xudu clan raises pigs, and they still think that eating cattle and sheep is worthy of their status. It's going to be stranded."

Cao Yang immediately laughed: "I ask you, in the world, are there more people with money or people without money?

Ju Shou immediately said: "Of course there are many people who have no money.

"Then why don't you get it? There may not be one rich person in a thousand people, and there may not be one person in a hundred thousand people who can open up to eat cattle and sheep every day! You can't judge the world by looking at Xudu! Xudu is rich. There are many people, and those who have no money will also be reluctant to lower their stature to eat pork because they are by my side. But other places are different, the rich will not be too concentrated, and there will be many people who eat pork in the future! It is!""

Ju was stunned.

As Cao Yang said, Xu is the most prosperous place in the entire Great Wei Empire, and some officials in the middle and lower ranks, in order to maintain their dignity, would rather not eat meat than go out to buy or raise pigs, so as not to be laughed at by their colleagues .

Ju Shou went to the nearby Luoyang, although it was deserted, but now people are coming to settle down one after another.

In addition to some local clans who lived here before, there are also many refugees.

However, under the organization of the county magistrate and with the support of Cao Yang's massive financial resources, the place has now regained some vitality.

As soon as he entered the city, Ju Shou saw pigs running around in the street, and there was a stench all over the street. When he looked closely, it was all pulled by pigs.

Ju Shou immediately frowned: "Go away, let the Luoyang Order organize people to clean up the streets every day! What a shame for the emperor.~!99

However, even so, it also proves that pigs are active here.

He walked to a newly built compound. The walls of the compound were surrounded by fences. There were two married couples over 50 years old, happily feeding a few piglets.

"Even if we don't eat it, we have to give it to them! After feeding, we will sell money for our son to marry a wife in the autumn!" The old woman said happily.

The old man hummed, but then said, "Maybe I'll starve to death by then, and I won't have time to marry my son, so I'll have to be buried first.

"Jing nonsense, that sweet potato harvested a lot last year, and now the balance is almost enough. I will harvest more this autumn, where will you starve to death." The old woman immediately reprimanded.

The old man looked distressed: "If there are sweet potatoes, you have to eat them for me. I'm feeding the pigs. I'm staring at the starving old man!"

"Feeding pigs can grow meat, feeding you? It can only be Lazard. It's good to eat half full, it's really greedy.

"Oh, I'm not as good as a little pig..."

The old woman was immediately furious: "Don't you want to marry your son?"

The old man shut up immediately.

Ju Shou outside heard it with emotion: This is for pigs, and I will lose my own life! If there are no people, what do you want pigs to do? Your Majesty just wants people to raise pigs and let every household eat meat. If this is because of this And let the common people lose their lives, shouldn't it make His Majesty sad?

So Ju Shou immediately asked someone to record the incident.

He walked in in person, and the couple saw him in the black official uniform and knew that it was a high official coming, so they panicked and greeted him: "I have seen the official.

The two were restrained, Ju Shu smiled, and said pleasantly: "You feed the pigs, but in the end you don't eat meat, do you just sell it?"

The old woman immediately became excited: "My son can't get a wife because he lacks money, and once these six pigs are sold, maybe he will be able to get a wife for him in the end!

But the old man sighed: "Master, now the rich households in various places have kept the price of pork very low, and in order to keep the price down, they have been letting go, saying that pork is cheap and worthless, but this old woman has gone crazy. , I don't eat it myself, I give the sweet potatoes to the pigs, I'm afraid that after half a year of tossing, I will only sell it for a few pennies! At that time, I will not make any money.

People are going to be pissed off. ""

Ju Shou frowned: "Don't you know that the imperial court will accept pigs at high prices? 99

The old couple looked blank: "Didn't the county magistrate say it?"

Ju Shou immediately understood that the magistrate was trying to suppress the news, and in the end he bought it at a low price and sold it to the court at a high price, and together with those big clansmen, made a lot of money!

"His heart can be punished! 99 Ju Shou was immediately furious, and then he thought, maybe this is not the case here!

So, Ju Shou left without saying a word, and went straight back to many to report to Cao Yang.

After hearing this, Cao Yang's face sank immediately, and he thought to himself, no wonder the country's luck will not increase after this move, so this is the problem! If the government is not rectified, the Wei Empire will be hollowed out by these moths!

66 `Proposed purpose! First of all, it is not allowed to feed pigs but not people in various places. If anyone died of starvation, the pigs will be confiscated! Secondly, if there are any local governments who dare not convey the order of the imperial court, they will be dealt with strictly!"

Cao Yang thought about it again and said: "Jushou, I ordered you to hold the festival and go to various places with Gongsun Zan. If you don't tell the people the news, the local county magistrate will be arrested and brought to justice... In serious cases, you can kill them on the spot. , to the anger of the common people! In addition, arrange for a virtuous person to take office as soon as possible!"

Ju Shou immediately cheered: "My minister obeys the order!

Holding the festival means the arrival of the Son of Heaven, the supreme power, and when it is serious, the officials who are released can be executed on the spot!

It is precisely because of this supreme right that the choice of those who hold the festival is extremely harsh, and, yes, when he returns to the imperial court, he must return the right to the emperor.

Ju Shou has already had the intention of killing those corrupt officials, and now he has the status of holding a festival, and even more powerful (Li Nuo's), he once again directly entered the Luoyang bar that day.

Luoyang Ling belonged to the royal family of Bingzhou, and was related to Wang Yun in the past. He came from a wealthy family and belonged to the upper class.

After Ju Shou arrived in Luoyang, he first arrested the Luoyang decree and imprisoned it in the market, which was greeted by many people's onlookers, and then asked Gongsun Zan to close the city gate, and Luoyang could only enter and were not allowed to leave.

Soon, when he saw many people gathered, he said loudly: "I am an envoy of the imperial court, and I am here to handle the case on behalf of the emperor! The emperor ordered the autumn to buy pork with a lot of money, and Luoyang ordered to deceive the people and tried to deduct money, and now it is a death penalty. It has been decided, but the elders, who knows who this person is colluding with, please also point out that this official will be strict this time, and will not tolerate it, so as to sweep away the corrupt habits of the officialdom! If you want to tell this official, you can secretly at night Come, of course, this official can also send you to settle in Xudu, so you don't have to worry about retaliation!
