Chapter 257 Empire (twenty)

Ten days later.

The secret guards sent by Cao Chong have basically returned.

Soon, the prince's uterus became lively again.

He did not specifically hide Cao Chong's anger. In fact, Cao Chong began to get furious in the morning on the court these days.

In order to send a signal to these ministers, I, Cao Chong, are now going to start punishing these people who are not doing things well, so be mentally prepared.

In the main hall of the Prince's Palace.

The dark yellow bamboo slips are piled up like mountains. After a busy day, these bamboo slips are divided into five piles.

Among these five piles of bamboo slips, there are many bamboo slips, and the other four piles of bamboo slips are not as good as this pile of bamboo slips.

The most common pile of bamboo slips are people who Cao Chong did not punish, and these people worked diligently to complete the road construction work arranged for him by Cao Chong.

The least of them are also built 50,000 meters long roads.

Fifty thousand meters are definitely not a long time for a county. According to the construction speed of a construction team in later generations, ten thousand meters will take less than a month for them.

Of course, considering that later generations were machine-made, the speed might be faster.

But in this era, the government has allocated that the roads built in a county are not as good as those of a engineering team?

There are at least tens of thousands of people in your county, which is not as good as the hundreds of people?

In fact, Cao Chong wanted to take down all those who built less than 80,000 meters of roads to punish one or two, but if he really did this, this would not be the most of these five piles.

The ones that are much smaller than the largest pile, but the most among the other four piles are because these prefects have road construction, but the construction is too short.

Even though they did not embezzle, in Cao Chong's view, these people had to be punished.

Not only do you have to punish, but you also have to punish yourself heavily!

Inaction is a crime in Cao Chong's mind.

Do you want to leave your name in history?

Can!

Work for me!

Make your patronage more prosperous than before, with more people than before, more land can be cultivated than before, and more taxes paid every year than before.

As long as you meet the above three points, no matter how many people in the Censorate impeach you, I will protect you.

But these people are not.

These people have good reputations, and some of them are famous scholars in Wei State.

But these great scholars actually thought that building roads and connecting the county to various places was a waste of money?

Don’t they know that after the road is built, not only the central government will better control the local area, but also the local area will develop better? [!ABC Novel Network @@Novels are better updated and faster]

If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. Don’t these great scholars know?

Or maybe their reputation is just a false one. The reason why they don’t want to build roads is to make it more difficult for the people in the central government to get where they can go, and then they can be a local emperor with peace of mind?

Cao Chong didn't mind maliciously guessing their psychology.

As for the other three piles, one is the bamboo slips that Cao Chong, a clan official, wanted to punish him, and the other is the only remaining children of the aristocratic families in the Wei State.

As for the last pile, there is too much embezzlement and not much background.

You have to eat rice bit by bit, and you have to pick up soft persimmons to squeeze.

Today he was going to attack the people in the last pile of bamboo slips.

And this is Cao Chong's first step.

After punishing these people, Cao Chong was considered a warning to the monkey. If other children of the clan family were still lucky or directly treated their words as if they were indifferent to them, Cao Chong would not mind attacking them.

Clan, family

Anyone who violates the law will be punished!

It would be useless for them to go to Cao Cao to complain about this.

"Wenzhi."

Cao Chong called Zhou Buyi gently, the latter nodded gently and asked, "What did your Highness call me?"

Cao Chong's face was gloomy, but he still had a smile on his face when he looked at Zhou Buyi.

"The people in the bamboo slips at the end were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and exiled to the land of Liaodong."

Although Liaodong was pacified at this time, there were still many ethnic minorities. Those ethnic minorities went crazy, no matter who you were.

It just so happens that the land of Liaodong is not developing, and the three eastern provinces have not yet developed it!

As one of the granaries of later generations, if the Northeast could be developed, it would definitely be good news for the Wei Kingdom.

Going west, Cao Chong's gaze extends to the English Channel, and to the north, it is the northeast.

As for the further distance, Cao Chong hasn't thought about it yet.

Siberia is so cold at this time.

With the warmth measures in this world, there will be no development there.

As for oil, there is no technology to be used yet. Even if Cao Chong knows that there is oil in some places, he cannot exploit it without technology, and even if it is mined, it cannot use it.

Zhou Buyi frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, although these people are greedy for money and property, they are exiled to Liaodong. Is this punishment a little heavier?"

Heavy?

Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

The earliest step in ancient China on corruption was the "Dharma Sutra" from the Warring States Period, among which the "Miscellaneous Methods" contained six prohibitions on miscellaneous methods.

The "six prohibitions" are: obscene prohibitions, cunning prohibitions, city prohibitions, hip prohibitions, pubic prohibitions, and gold prohibitions.

Prohibition: About the crackdown on bigamy, adultery and other crimes.

Cunning ban: Regarding the crackdown on crimes endangering state power and other crimes.

City ban: About cracking down on crimes that enter and exit the city in violation of regulations.

Xiban: About combating gambling and other crimes.

Prison: Regarding the crackdown on criminal acts such as "group living together".

Jin Jin: Regarding the crackdown on crimes such as bribery by officials.

Miscellaneous Ruan said: "The prime minister receives gold, and the left and right are punished. If the head below the rhinoceros is below the rhinoceros, he will be punished; if the gold is below the leg, he will be punished but not punished."

The receipt of gold in miscellaneous laws was to accept bribes. Although there were relevant codes in the Western Han Dynasty, the actual handling was done completely according to the ruler's own wishes, and there was no specific charter.

The people Cao Chong wanted to punish, of course, embezzled more than one tael of gold, but this is not receiving gold, it is corruption.

"It would be a good thing for them to be corrupt and abuse their lives. If they were exiled to Liaodong, they should be laughing."

Zhou Buyi opened his mouth, but in the end he kept it back.

"Then I will do it."

It is conceivable that these dozen or so prefects were exiled together, which would definitely cause considerable waves in the court.

Although these people have no background, they are not simple characters who can become prefects, and at least they have connections.

It seems that tomorrow's morning court will be borne by myself.

but

Cao Chong wanted to know who dared to plead for them.

Cao Chong had to punish more people. If he encountered obstacles in the first step, then Cao Chong was not establishing his authority, but his majesty was trampled on by these ministers, and this was definitely something Cao Chong did not allow.

Fortunately, he did not face these ministers and relatives of the aristocratic families with one force.

Behind him is Boss Cao.

From some perspectives, as long as he did not disappoint Cao Cao, he would do whatever he wanted when Boss Cao was alive.

The sky fell, and there was still a tall man holding on.

From this point of view, Cao Chong really needs Boss Cao to live a few more years.

Although his prince's uterus is getting heavier in the court, he is all young people after all.

And those who hold power in society will never be young people, but middle-aged people.

Step by step, take control of this country first, and then talk about changing this country!
