Chapter 250 Something happened to the Tie family
250 Something happened to the Tie family
Three years passed by in a flash, during which several major national events occurred.

In the second year of Xinwan's disaster relief work, the court changed and the old emperor suddenly died of illness. After a bloody storm and nearly losing his life several times, Prince Tantai Mo Yu obtained evidence of the queen's murder of his mother and concubine and killed several people who tried to rebel. The prince took back the real power and finally ascended the throne as emperor.

When the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he issued a general amnesty. The first item was to reduce taxes on ordinary people, promote farming, especially rice cultivation, and develop three-season grain harvests a year in suitable areas in the south. There were also many practical decisions to benefit the people.

Immediately afterwards, a series of new decrees were issued, focusing on officials' corruption and bending the law, protecting each other, and even deceiving superiors and concealing inferiors for personal gain.

Some old families, powerful gentry, who used to treat the imperial court as snakes, relied on their great merits, violated laws and disciplines for many years, and even relied on the merits of their ancestors to pamper and arrogant titles or other officials. He confiscated and exterminated more than [-] people within a year. Officials, big and small, and important ministers, including relatives of some branches of the royal family, and even the old princess and her husband's family were not spared.

It can be said that all the black forces who were eating royal food and not doing business, or who had used their power to corrupt and pervert the law for many years, or who used their power to bully others and whose hands were stained with blood, were all wiped out by a series of evidences and all nine tribes were wiped out. , done neatly.

The new emperor's methods were harsh and his behavior was even more resolute. Yufeng State carried out a very powerful purge of the court and the emperor's relatives.

Taking this opportunity, the new emperor overhauled water conservancy, focused on farming, and promoted young talents who passed scientific examinations to replace some officials who relied on their elders and sold them to important positions, holding real power.

For a time, everyone saw the new emperor's spicy methods and strong style, and many people retracted their claws and behaved carefully.

The court was purged a lot, and many new measures that benefited the country and the people were reported one by one by the officials below. The trend of the court suddenly changed!
In the next two years, the new emperor took several rivers in Suoyun City in Yunjiang as the first example, and forcefully cleared out all the buildings occupying the rivers by powerful families, widened the rivers, strengthened and raised the river embankments.

The imperial envoy personally held the cement formula and personally mobilized specialized personnel to make the cement. It was never left to others to use in the construction of the dam.

Military generals sent troops to escort the money allocated by the imperial court from the treasury, and sent it one by one to grassroots officials in various towns and counties for registration and registration, and used it for practical repairs and disaster relief. Each amount of money was assigned by at least three people. Accounting supervision, mutual restraint, if one person makes a mistake and three others are punished, it will bring disaster to the family!

It can be said that every penny must be put into practice, and the emperor's determination to rectify some unhealthy trends can also be seen.

After some beneficial measures, the happiest people are of course the people. The people have enjoyed benefits from many of the new emperor's new policies. Seeing the hope, they all support the new emperor very much.

In two years, the management of the Yunjiang River has begun to show actual results. Even if the river embankment is still under repair and the buildings occupying the river channel have been cleared, the floods have been successfully overcome in the past two years. Even if there are still areas affected by the disaster, it will Flooding has been greatly reduced.

This fully proves that Xinhuang’s series of plans and measures for water control are wise and practical.

And just when Xin Wan was giving Tantai Mo Yu a thumbs up, something happened to the Tie family.

Xin Wan looked at Songbu Ya and was silent for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Tell me, whatever crime it is, it is whatever crime it is."

“If you are dismissed from your post and investigated, if you become someone else’s scapegoat, your home will be confiscated and your whole family will be exiled to the border.

It is a major crime for officials to protect each other and to be in cahoots with each other, and they are on the wrong team.

The magistrate of Lanzhou was originally a remnant of the eldest prince. Over the years, he had embezzled money from repairing river embankments and working hard to build roads. In the past, he even teamed up with the former eldest prince to make trouble for the emperor.

Because of his excellent methods, he hid a lot of private property and evidence of corruption and bending the law. In the end, it was found that the amount of money he had embezzled was not too much. He had covered up the last payment and avoided it.

Moreover, the flood control sandbags there were not implemented. The sandbags were made of inferior hemp and rotted after being soaked in water, so that the river embankment burst when it should not have, flooding the crops in several towns below.

Later, during the disaster relief work, we discovered that there were problems with the accounts. After careful inspection, we were keeping an eye on Tienan, but we also got a breakthrough from him, and we were able to find out the many crimes of the Lanzhou prefect.

In the later period, because Tie Nan handled many things and received the benefits from the prefect's reward, the prefect was not allowed to lose his head, but he was seriously implicated. "Song Buya said coldly. "Let him be the county magistrate in Yangliu Town, give him the best place, the most stable place, and comfortably be a minor official of the local emperor. He has to clear up the relationship in order to climb up. He was transferred to Ju County, Lanzhou to serve as county magistrate.

Although Ju County is in a good location, there are occasional floods. After three years of peace and stability without any incident, the new emperor is so worried. The new emperor uses thunderous means to control the floods and eliminate corrupt officials who have violated the law. At this time, he actually hits the gun!

At first, he left without saying hello to get transferred. I didn't stop him because I wanted to see how he wanted to jump, but now he has jumped in with the entire Tie family!What a waste! "Xin Wan was so angry that she threw the tea cup.

Originally, Tienan was under their care, but he insisted on causing trouble, and he didn't have the ability. Now, something happened!

Songbuya had never seen his daughter-in-law get so angry. He sat down and put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"No, I can't ask him to pardon me just because of our friendship with the emperor, otherwise his hard work and persistence over the past few years will be in vain!
Is it easy for him to sit on the throne for so many years? !
Seeing that he is running the country well, Yufeng Country is developing in a good direction. We cannot allow him to be selfish just because of our affairs.

He is a good emperor. He listened to what I said back then. Having such an emperor in Yufeng State is a blessing to the people of the world! Xin Wan said firmly.

"Wan'er?" Songbuya was very worried and distressed.

The Tie family would be ransacked and exiled, and the second roommate Tie Hu and Xin Cui's family would also be sentenced together.

Xin Wan's eyes turned red, and she looked at Songbuya in silence for a long time and said, "How to be exiled?"

"The women and children will be put into prison cars, and the men will walk to the place of exile." Songbuya said.

"How long will it take?"

"Three months!"

"So long, do you have to go for so long?" Xin Wan was a little shocked.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and travel between north and south was calculated on a monthly basis.

Song Bu Ya nodded: "It's the northwest border pass, which is relatively barren. It will take a month to get there even if you work hard. Walking there is quick because the distance is not good. It will take three months."

"Then, is it difficult for people to hold on to the place?" Xin Wan was a little discouraged, and then she felt even more distressed. No one could bear to walk for ten days and a half, let alone three months.

"If the escorting officer gives me some favors, I won't suffer too much, and I can have a good rest along the way."

Xin Wan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Can you arrange for our people to escort my second sister's family all the way to the border and resettle them properly?"

"Yes, as long as we don't rob prisoners and have people following us, and if the escorting officials are well taken care of, it's not impossible for them all to travel in prison cars."

""When they reach the border, who are they? Are they free? "Xin Wan asked again.
