Chapter 205: [Reeducation through Labor](1/2)

...

The old man who talked was Zhang Yu.

Not enough moral integrity.

Now that Ao Wu has become an official, he just says he is his student.

Thinking back to the beginning, he said he wanted to drive himself out.

But Ao Wu would not argue with an old man.

If he wanted to gain this reputation, Ao Wu let him gain it and protect his old age.

Zhang Wu all spoke out, and the scholars expressed their congratulations to Ao Wu awkwardly.

Zhang Wu pointed to the magistrate of Zhang County and said, "You don't care about your son's evil deeds. Now Ao Wu punishes him to eliminate harm for the people!"

"Old Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding. I can ask my son to marry that girl!" shouted the magistrate of Zhang County.

The people thought that although this was a helpless act, the girls were ruined by him, and it would be troublesome to get married in the future. It would be nice to marry the county magistrate's family.

Ao Wu sneered and said, "It's not enough to be molested by him once. Do you want the victim to be molested for the rest of your life?"

As soon as these words were said, the people who had originally shaken their minds suddenly felt that County Magistrate Zhang was an accomplice.

County Magistrate Zhang was stunned for a moment.

"You really have to cure my son to death?" County Magistrate Zhang paused for a while and asked in a cold voice.

Not to mention the protection of officials, you won’t be pressing each other step by step!

Ao Wu: "Whether to die depends on how heavy the matter he committed."

"Okay. OK!" County Magistrate Zhang gritted his teeth. I will come to Tongshou to wait for you!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked out.

It seems that I am going to file a complaint with my superiors.

Zhang watched his father leave and cried and shouted. With Ao Wu waved his hand, he was taken down.

The people cheered again, cheering for the good county magistrate.

Ao Wu waved his hand and asked the people to go back, then hugged Zhang Yu and turned around and went in.

He didn't want to be a bird, but Lao Fengtou and Lao Fengpo were very grateful to him. He hurried over and thanked him.

With the face given by the two elders, Zhang Wei also felt a light on his face.

It took him a long time to say goodbye and leave.

In the next few days, there were a lot of people going to the county government to file complaints.

More than a dozen people came to sue the son of County Magistrate Zhang. Almost all of them were bullied by this playboy.

So many women who have been molested, should be cut off.

However, in the laws of the Sui Dynasty, there were not many serious crimes that could beheaded to kill people. The crime of rape was not within the scope of beheading.

Therefore, Ao Wu had to be sentenced to another sentence.

The other cases were discovered at a glance and quickly solved.

Not being biased and not being favored not only won the victim’s gratitude, but also won the defendant’s favor.

In a few days, the case that was suppressed by County Magistrate Zhang was handled for two or three years.

His good performance made some defendants who had done bad things and admitted their mistakes when they first arrived at the county government office, before the victim could tell them.

The civil dispute has been resolved, and we have to deal with the matter in the county yamen.

Since the official officer of Lao Wang was fired, the official officers in the county government were a little scared.

The county magistrate has direct power to expel and recruit the county magistrate.

I wonder if the three fires of Ao Wu, the new official, will continue to drive on their heads.

But for a few days, Ao Wu did not touch these officials again.

A few days later, Ao Wu also felt that it was time to talk to them.

He said to the officials: "I don't have many requirements, don't be arrogant and domineering, don't oppress the people. Follow me and keep a lot of benefits."

The officials looked at each other and finally said in embarrassment: "Thank you, the county magistrate, there are many benefits, we dare not think too much, as long as we don't fire us. But if we don't oppress the people, how can we charge strong men and tax them?"

If the official officer is not ruthless, the cunning people will not pay taxes and will not let their sons serve.

If you cannot collect taxes or collect people, the official will not complete the task, so it is difficult to explain to the higher authorities.

"When County Magistrate Zhang was there, although he made great efforts to arrest these two things, he still owe a lot of missing items in the past six months. Now, as soon as County Magistrate Zhang left, the missing item fell on the head of the county magistrate. If you relax, you will blame him!" Another old official said worriedly.

The officials and officials said with the same feeling.

The old official continued, "Although you said that you should not starve to death in order to make the people welcome you, you are right. But in the future, if we want to collect taxes, they will use this sentence to make things difficult for us. Even if there is rice at home, they will not pay taxes. The people are petty, stingy, and very sensible!"

Ao Wu looked at them and asked, "What do you think should you do?"

The officials thought Ao Wu was enlightened, and his face was happy and said, "We should put in ruthless efforts to the people. If we don't pay taxes, we will arrest people, and if we don't serve, we will arrest people. Don't relax just because they cry and make trouble!"

"Okay, you're right. But I won't do that." Ao Wu refused them.

The officials changed their expressions.

"Of course, this won't be blamed for you. As long as you do what I said, you won't be fired." Ao Wu told them not to worry.

"In the past year, did Liangfu County die in the past few years because of taxes and military conscription? How many people have died?" Ao Wu asked.

The officials looked at each other, thinking that Ao Wu wanted them to start the attack, and what he said before was just a slander.

Ao Wu emphasized: "I did what I said. In the past, you just obeyed orders. It was not your responsibility. Just do what you did in the future."

At this time, the old official was brave enough to say, "Seven people fell to death when they caught the strong men. Twenty-one died of starvation."

"Well, the first thing I want to do is not to let the strong men die when they are catching them." Ao Wu looked at them, "Don't chase after people in person in the future. From today on, a conscription office will be set up at the county government office. Let's sign up in person."

Everyone opened their mouths wide. They went to catch the strong men, but the strong men would rather be killed by being thrown to serve. They didn't catch enough people in person, so they sat directly at the door without going out, so no one would come to the door!

"Isn't it because of the lack of people for the recruitment? This prisoner who committed the crime can also be punished and sent to the front line." Ao Wu smiled and said, "The son of County Magistrate Zhang has committed such great anger. He should be sent to serve. This is labor camp. Well, that's it. By the way, where is my deputy?"

The officials were stunned by Ao Wu's decision.

Unexpectedly, he was so cruel that he sent the son of County Magistrate Zhang to serve.

They secretly sweated and decided to listen to the county magistrate in the future, otherwise the county magistrate would not be able to survive if he was foolish to himself.

The deputy mentioned later means to be a master.

The old official said, "County Magistrate, the Lord Bo was brought by County Magistrate Zhang himself. Your Lord Bo needs to be recruited by you personally."

Ao Wu nodded, it seemed that he needed his own team.

"Well, okay. The second thing is... OK, actually the second thing should be done before the first thing. You go to the city and villages and tell everyone that the tax should be paid as usual, and the amount of money you need to pay is paid. The king cannot ignore it. The rice at home is paid until there is no rice. In addition, you will tell the people that the county magistrate will do what I say, and that the people under the rule will not starve to death. Which family has no rice? Come to the county magistrate to collect it!"

These words once again stunned the officials.

If you have no rice, you can come to the county magistrate to collect it. Who else is afraid of paying taxes?

Moreover, many people now store grain and eat it until the end of the year, and have been fighting with officials to the end in order to save the grain.

But with Ao Wu's words, you can find the county magistrate to eat, so why should you keep the food that will not be eaten at the end of the year?

"County magistrate, is this no joke?" said the old official carefully.

Ao Wu nodded, without any joke: "Do as I said."

The officers were stunned for a moment and had to go out and do what they did.

Soon, the people of Liangfu County all knew about the new county magistrate's policy.

They all kept their doubts about this. Could it be that the county magistrate deceived the people to pay taxes. Later, as long as the tax is paid, the county magistrate will pay the taxes. If the people really want to ask him for food, there will be no food to be distributed to the people.

Therefore, the people are not stupid.

However, there are special circumstances, that is, the family who were eating the food at home and were almost hungry when they heard the news, immediately resurrected and immediately went to the county government to ask for food.

Ao Wu asked the officials to send them a few corn and potatoes, so that the other people who were watching could see them all the time.

Ao Wu had already visited Mount Tai once at night and got a lot of corn and potatoes.

At this time, in Mount Tai, corn and potatoes were widely grown in all villages. At this time, it had been ripe for two seasons. Not only could it satisfy one's own food and clothing, but it also saved a lot.

These grain storages were more clumsy to deal with the situation in Liangfu County.

And as the third season matures, more corn and potatoes will come out. Of course, as the people of Liangfu County also grow corn and potatoes, they can also feed themselves.

In addition to using the space ring to get a ring of potatoes, Ao Wu also asked Lao Wang to bring more than a dozen trucks of corn and potatoes down the mountain.

Only when the people see these dozens of cargoes of corn and potatoes can they know Ao Wu's strength and follow Ao Wu's rhythm with confidence.

When Ao Wu arranged all this in an orderly manner, County Magistrate Zhang had already gone to the Tongshou of Lu County to file a complaint.

County Magistrate Zhang is an obedient county magistrate. When the superiors say that he will give up the seat to the newcomer, he will immediately give up his seat.

Such an obedient subordinate should protect him, not to mention rewards, but he cannot let a new county magistrate and new official take office three times.
