Collapse, surrender to me!

However, on the day the order was issued.

99% of local officials in Jizhou resigned.

All ran away.

In an instant, Zhang Jiao fell into an extremely passive situation.

In this era, even if he wanted to issue an order, such as a document from the imperial court, officials would need to gather the masses to read it.

Because ordinary people are illiterate!

Apart from farming, whenever I encounter any problem, I always ask knowledgeable people for advice.

This is also the grassroots role of most officials.

Now they all ran away, and Zhang Jue was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But he soon stabilized.

There are so many noble families, there will always be one or two willing to submit.

Willing to provide management.

The condition Zhang Jue offered was that he could keep the family's existing land, but he would have to pay a certain amount of money to hire farmers.

Of course, keeping these landowners was just a stopgap measure.

When Jizhou has new talents in the future, he will defeat these landlords as well.

……

Time passes day by day.

Jizhou also gradually became stable.

Those who run run, and those who stay stay.

The land was also distributed to the farmers.

For a time, the reputation of Jizhou's great and virtuous teacher was at its peak.

Zhang Jue didn't care about these titles. He was very happy when he saw smiles appear on people's faces again.

Of course, Grayshu also made an indelible contribution.

During these days alone, Grayshu has fended off more than a hundred assassination attempts.

There are all kinds of murders, such as poisoning tea, pretending to be old people, and killers with disabled children. It is almost impossible to guard against them.

Zhang Jue felt that if it weren't for Grayshu, he would have died long ago.

Fortunately, these assassinations were concentrated in the early stages.

When they realized that they had the protection of the immortal, these assassination attempts never happened again.

After all, no matter who their assassins are, they are trained at great cost, so there is no reason to give them away like this.

It will hurt.

However, just when Zhang Jue felt that the results were good and was even preparing to take over Bohai County in one go and unify Jizhou.

Something happened that he didn't expect.

The landlord's field.

Naturally, there are good fields and bad fields.

Although the newly appointed county magistrate distributed the land according to his wishes, he gave all the good land to his own people, and distributed the land that was difficult to cultivate and had poor yields to ordinary people.

They even threatened the people under their rule and robbed them by force.

After all, according to Zhang Jiao's rules, land distribution is by lottery, which depends entirely on luck and no one is allowed to complain.

But this county magistrate was operating behind closed doors.

The people were so angry that they filed a lawsuit.

Zhang Jue suddenly became serious.

He was corrupt as soon as he took office.

He doesn't want money like Emperor Ling, so why are these people only thinking about profit!

Zhang Jue immediately ordered the arrest.

But after I caught it, I felt that it looked familiar.

"Isn't he the nephew of my second brother Zhang Bao?!"

Zhang Jue's eyes turned dark.

Because too many people resigned, he issued an order within the Yellow Turbans to find some educated people to take the position.

At least they are all his old subordinates and should be trustworthy.

After all, the reason why everyone revolted was because they could no longer survive the oppression of the imperial court.

Everyone gathered together because of their ideals.

Zhang Jue never imagined that not long after stabilizing most of Jizhou, some people had already forgotten why everyone gathered together!

Chapter 483: My brother is actually a bootlicker!

There is a traitor among our own people.

It was a huge blow to Zhang Jue.

More importantly, the other party actually made a move at the critical juncture of the land division.

This has to be fair.

"Do you know what you are doing!"

Zhang Jue was heartbroken when he saw Zhang Bao's nephew kneeling below him.

But judging from the other party's expression, he obviously didn't care about this matter.

This only proves one possibility.

This is the phenomenon, and it is not an isolated case that he acted on his own initiative. Otherwise, after being caught, he would at least be panicked and feel guilty.

This attitude of not caring about being discovered shows that he is not the only one doing this.

"Call Zhang Ping over."

Zhang Jue sighed.

Zhang Ping had nothing to do with the Yellow Turbans. He was a member of the Zhongshan Zhang family, a local family in Jizhou, but there were no records of him until the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Zhang Jue was now occupying Jizhou and the imperial court did not care. In order to protect their family property, many small local nobles sent some people to Zhang Jue.

This Zhang Ping is the one that Zhang Jiao thinks has outstanding abilities.

After Zhang Ping arrived, he was immediately overwhelmed when he heard what Zhang Jiao said.

How dare you be so bold.

“I wonder how the people view this matter?”

"Please be fair."

Thanks to Zhang Jue's reputation, which had now reached a certain level, despite this incident, the people still believed in the Great Sage Teacher and felt that it was only a problem of individual officials, not the will of the Great Sage Teacher.

"If it hadn't caused public outrage, I would still be kept in the dark."

Zhang Jue's face looked a little ugly.

"Investigate thoroughly. If anyone tries to stop you, tell him to come find me."

……

This matter cannot be concealed because it involves too many things.

After all, just a secret visit to the people would be enough.

After that, there was no news about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ping because there was a problem with the supervisory agency.

The Han Dynasty inherited the supervision system of the Qin Dynasty and established the Grand Censor as the highest head of the supervision agency, who was responsible for leading supervisory officials to report and impeach all illegal and dereliction of duty behaviors of all government agencies and their officials.

He was in a high position and had great power, so all officials feared him and called him "the official who was subject to wind and frost."

Next down is the Inspector. Each province has one Inspector, who is a full-time inspector who supervises the counties under the province.

Then there was the Inspector of the Imperial Guards, who was responsible for reviewing whether officials' behavior was consistent with legal and moral standards.

The Inspector of the Capital Region was under the management of Zhang Bao.

Zhang Jue did not trust outsiders to run this kind of supervisory agency, so he handed it over to his own brothers. He did not expect that they would be stabbed in the back so quickly.

He now feels that perhaps his idea was wrong.

At least outsiders are intimidated by his title and prestige as a great and virtuous teacher, and anyone with a bit of common sense would not do anything at this time.

On the contrary, it is our own brothers who are brave.

As the saying goes, fear power but not virtue.

Zhang Liang is not very smart, he is just a vanguard general, but he is nothing special. People like Zhang Bao, who is a little smart but only half-full of knowledge, are most likely to get into problems.

"Short-sighted!"

The Si Li Xiao Wei had to understand the law, so it was naturally not something that an ordinary peasant could take on. It required three or five people from small aristocratic families.

Zhang Jue called all the patriarchs of these families over.

"You are all well-educated people. You know the law but you still break it. Why do you do this?"

He didn't ask anything, but directly defined the matter.

Several clan leaders looked embarrassed.

"How dare we disobey the orders of the Great and Good Master?"

"But General Digong has spoken, what can we do?"

"Yeah yeah."

From both ends of the conversation, it seems as if we are just outsiders and this is a matter between you brothers.

As he spoke, he even took out an extremely detailed list.

They all secretly disobeyed Zhang Jue's orders.

Zhang Jue took a look at the list and his face changed.

Not only General Digong.

Among them were the old men who had followed him in the past and officers who had retired from the front lines to retire.

Zhang Jue always treated those who had made contributions very well.

But no one expected that these people would take advantage of his preferential treatment to bully the people in the village.

"For the sake of the list, I will treat you leniently. Please step back."

Zhang Jue waved away the crowd.

Then he became so angry that he fainted.

After waking up, the person I saw was Grayshu.

"If you continue like this, it won't be surprising if you get so angry that you die one day."

Gresh shook her head.

Some people are very healthy but may die from exhaustion.

"Ugh."

Zhang Jue found that ever since he had taken control of Jizhou, conquered the territory and stabilized it, the imperial army was afraid of the immortal and dared not advance rashly... Obviously, these were all good things, but he sighed more and more.

"This list is so detailed, it was obviously prepared long ago. The noble families are naturally unwilling to be divided up, but they dare not object openly, so my stupid brother was pushed out."

A Zhang Bao is actually not bad.

But this is not about one person.
