People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 269 Murder

The next day!

Li Yao went to Shangshutai early in the morning, and then went home to hold a banquet, and asked Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze to meet with Li Ru, Jia Xu, Yan Xing, Yang Ding, Li Jue, Guo Si... all of them met once, and they basically had to cooperate with each other when they carried out a lot of work in the future.

At the same time, Li Yao also met with He Luan and Huang Hua... Actually, except for Li Ru, all the people present were from Liangzhou.

For example, Guo Bang used to be a horse thief in Zhangye, He Luan was from Zhangye, and Huang Hua was from Jiuquan. At least they had heard of this horse thief, but now this horse thief has become the right middle man of the court, which also made them yearn a lot!

A horse thief can be reused, and they are from the four counties of Hexi. They are from the serious and powerful families, and they are very good in both knowledge and ability. Can't they stand out under Li Yao's men?
As for Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, they also learned about the status of the Li family in Liangzhou again from Zhao Yang, Zhao Ze, He Luan, and Huang Hua.

After that, they also respected Li Yao even more. To make the most intuitive comparison, in the past Liangzhou was chaotic, with various ethnic groups, ministries, and aristocratic families being so powerful that even the government could not control them.

But now it seems that the Qiang people in Hehuang have been subdued, and the Hu people in Hexi have been subdued. The powerful children of aristocratic families, such as He Luan and Huang Hua... have to obey orders obediently.

Faced with such a situation, even if he is as unruly as Li Jue, Guo Si... he dare not have any dissent at all.

At the same time, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze were very surprised by today's grand event. Back then, Li Yao left Liangzhou with [-] cavalry and entered Guanzhong. In less than three years, he created this foundation.

They also sincerely admired their cousin, and even thought in their hearts that after Li Wenhou, Li Yao would definitely take over the burden and become their Li family, Zhao family...the hope of all Liang people.

A banquet, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, everyone is very happy in the end.

Then the work was formally assigned. Zhao Yang served as Zuo Fengyi, and Zhao Ze served as You Fufeng. They took people to the two places to take office that day. As for He Luan and Huang Hua, they stayed by Li Yao's side on behalf of the Hexi clan.

Now Yang Xiu, Zhong Yao, He Luan, and Huang Hua are all under Li Yao as Shang Shulang, and Li Ru and Jia Xu are serving as the left and right servants. The power of the court is completely controlled by Li Yao.

He only needs to be in charge of supervision, and he can even spare time to go to various military camps inside and outside the city, to chat with those school lieutenants and Sima Duo, and to win people's hearts requires practical actions.

Especially the Tuntian soldiers, those Tuntian school lieutenants, Tuntian Sima, including the lowest-ranking Tuntian soldiers, Li Yao is also paying attention, whether he is satisfied with the distribution of land, and whether he encounters difficulties in the farming process...

Zhao Yang, Zhao Ze, the [-] cows brought by Li Yao also distributed the largest part to the military households after discussing with everyone.

Li Yao was able to call the wind and rain in the imperial court, first of all he had the support of the army, if he didn't have the support of the army, he would have been driven away long ago.

As for the other two places, Zhao Yang went to Gaoling, and Zhao Ze went to Huaili.

Zhao Yang went to Gaoling, first met his subordinates, Cheng, Wei, and Zhu Cao, and he just smiled and let everyone do what they should do. Then he would study at home every day, never asking or caring about government affairs.

When Zhao Ze went to Huaili, what he did was even more extreme. He drank at home every day, cursed at people when he was drunk, and replaced all the supervisors below with his own people, asking for bribes openly and secretly.

Originally, those big officials and small officials treated the two as if they were enemies, but when they saw that they were such kind of people, they basically relaxed and offered gold and silver treasures after only three to five days of work. After they had the protection of the superiors, they increased their exploitation of the subordinates, trying to snatch the gold and silver treasures from the people at the bottom.

The three assistants were all in one, and some people whispered these things to Li Yao's ears, but Li Yao also ignored it, and went directly to the barracks to compete with the soldiers in the army on horseback riding and archery.

I have been busy during this period of time, and my riding and archery skills have fallen behind, so I must make up for it now.

It was a riding and archery skill that almost hit the target with every shot and arrow. From the generals to the soldiers, everyone admired Li Yao extremely.

The army is relatively pure, that is, it worships the strong. Even Lu Bu's character has many people following him, which can be seen from this.

Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, which can be called unfaithful and unfilial. It seems unfair that Ding Yuan made him the chief secretary and a military general as a civil servant, but in the background of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which emphasized civil affairs over military affairs, civil service was more honorable than military service.

Dong Zhuo accepted Lü Bu as his adopted son and entrusted a heavy responsibility to someone who was not directly related. He directly surpassed Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji...just like Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, and Duan Yan, he was a Zhonglang general, and he was actually not bad.

Li Yao just went around in the army, and he only went back to check on the government affairs occasionally, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng didn't even look at them.

For more than a month, after the autumn harvest was over, taxes were also collected. Money, taxes, land taxes... Some collected grain, and some collected money.

At this time, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze stopped pretending and directly ordered the arrest of people, starting from Gaoling and Huaili, and then going to the other counties, where they were caught and killed.

After arresting the people, they directly summoned the people to observe the punishment and told the people that these corrupt officials misinterpreted the government's policies and imposed heavy taxes on everyone. Now it has been found out that everything is their fault.

Then, in front of the people, all these people were chopped off, and as the heads fell to the ground one by one, all the officials were separated from the corpses.

The people were happy, the court finally sent upright officials, and the numb faces began to move. Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze established enough prestige from this.

The people are very easy to coax, especially the people in ancient times. Either you give Shili and give each person two handfuls of millet, and the people will love you;

Give real benefits if you can, and let the people's spirits be satisfied if you don't give real benefits, so that they will be obedient and will not make trouble.

If you don't let the people eat enough, you can't satisfy the spirit of the people, and you still want the people to miss you, and the people are not so cheap.

This incident violated a taboo, the unscrupulous massacre of officials shocked the government and the public, and everyone in the place was in danger. Some people reported to Li Yao, but Li Yao didn't care about it.

This was originally supported by him, and he even sat in the military camp himself. Whoever dared to make trouble, he would directly lead the army to crush it.

For disobedient officials, rather than trying to win them over, it is better to kill them all. After all, not everyone is so important to Li Yao.
