Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 582: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
Shen Li was shocked after hearing this. She had never thought that this could be done this way. However, she soon thought of a new problem.

"This is my husband. If this happens, what will happen to the people in the new city? Are we just going to let the differences exist? Is this right?" Shen Li said
"Haha, Madam, this is how some things are. There are pros and cons. The problems in the spirit world are so deep-rooted that they cannot be solved by ordinary means."

"If you want to cause them trouble, you can only use this kind of evil method. When they are united against the outside world, they are naturally united, but what if there is no external enemy?"

"What do you think they will do? This is why I asked you to do this. Think about it, the officials in this new city originally had their own duties."

"Everyone keeps to themselves and even if there are some conflicts, they can be resolved through discussion. But with the increase of official positions, it is no longer the case."

"After all, these newly added officials are out to get money, and without power, they can't get money. So if they want money, they must fight for power."

"But the power is limited. If others get more, then I will have less. What do you think the former officials would do in this situation?"

"They will certainly be in chaos and fight for everything. At that time, let alone uniting against the outside world, even if people from the same family meet, they will fight to the death." Bai Jie said
"This, my husband, I understand what you said, but, but they can also understand what you said, they can just not be fooled, right?" Shen Li said
"So, ma'am, this requires you. You have to carry out the work of eradicating corruption to the end, and you have to do it with force. The most important thing is to show the difference and treat people differently."

"Think about it, it's obviously the same corruption, even the amount is the same, but the final result is very different. Who do you think can stand it?" Bai Jie said
After Shen Li heard this, she immediately became excited. Yes, if such a thing happened to her, she would not be able to bear it either? Why?

Time passed quickly, and early the next morning, Shen Li began her discriminatory treatment. A full month passed, and one month later, she returned to the capital with Baijie.

At the morning court session, the court officials challenged her, arguing over the issue of different punishments for the same crime. Shen Li had already remembered Bai Jie's words.

So he said directly, "Silence! Silence! You must be very curious about why I treat you differently. The reason is actually very simple, that is, the new city is now in a state of disrepair and needs to be rebuilt."

"At this critical stage of development, we cannot delay our progress because of a minor problem. We must give full support to the new city."

"Only in this way can the new city develop rapidly and our spiritual world catch up with the fairy world. Compared with this goal, different punishments for the same crime are not that important, right?"

"Of course, in order to prevent the officials of the new cities from becoming arrogant, I have also taken a new measure, that is, to double the number of officials in each new city.

"This double number of officials will be deployed exactly according to the existing number of officials in the new city. All the things that need to be done will be divided into two parts, and they will be done in comparison with each other."

"Whoever does well will be promoted, and whoever does not do well will be transferred out of the new city and back to the old city."

"As for the problem in the old city you mentioned? I have also considered this issue. I think the problem in the old city is serious, and even the current punishment is far from enough."

"We must continue to strictly investigate and deal with the problems of officials in the old city. The reason we have to do this is to clean up the atmosphere in the old city."

"As everyone knows, I am a military general. I know the character of the officials in the cities under my command very well."

"I may not pursue the past, but from now on, I will not tolerate the problems in the old city. Anyone who embezzles more than 100 spirit stones will be sent to reincarnation!" "Anyone who embezzles more than 1,000 spirit stones will have their souls shattered and will never be reincarnated!"

"I'll say this one last time. Corruption will never be tolerated in the Old City. If anyone shows up, we'll kill them. If the situation is particularly serious, we'll confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan. We won't tolerate it!"

"I will give you one month to clean up all the previous affairs and select the officials for the new city. After one month, I will conduct a large-scale investigation."

"I will execute anyone I find, and I will not show any mercy! I hope you will not let me down! I really don't want someone to disappear from this court in a month." Shen Li said directly
After Shen Li finished speaking, she withdrew from the court. Her departure stunned all the ministers, as they had been feeling complacent when they had tried to trip up the new emperor.

They didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly in just one month. His Majesty could actually come up with such an idea. They knew very well that His Majesty could never think of such a method.

This must be the work of Lord Bailian again. At this moment, they were so angry that they wanted to kill Lord Bailian. After all, this method was too cruel.

This forced them to fight among themselves, but they could do nothing even if they knew about it. After all, this was an open conspiracy. It was both corruption, but one side wanted to kill nine generations of the family, while the other side got away with nothing.

This idiot also knows where to be an official? There is no choice at all.

They all knew very well that under normal circumstances, their words might be effective, but now, in this matter, their words were of no use.

After all, even they themselves did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the old city anymore. After all, it seemed that His Majesty wanted to clean them out and drive them away.

If they give up the old city area obediently, then it will be good for everyone, but if they don't leave, they probably won't be able to leave.

By then, not only will the old city be lost, but the new city will also be so crowded that there will be no way to go.

Soon, the smart civil servants and aristocratic families began to make arrangements, starting with the people who were the focus of the family's training and were to serve in the new city.

No matter what happens in the future, we have to appease them. After all, they are the family's promising successors.

In fact, these people did not take the family's appeasement seriously at all. They had been forced to form an alliance.

An alliance of old officials to fight against the new officials who are about to seize their power.

The new officials were actually more anxious than them. They were not in a hurry to embezzle, but to flee the old city. After all, they could not stay here any longer; their lives would be in danger.
