Chapter 2194 Case Completed
Li Shen nodded after hearing this:
“Xizhou is the center of Anxi, and since we have captured so many corrupt officials, we naturally link this matter to them.
It seems that I have to change the map and go to the border."
Li Shen touched his chin. He always changed gears in one map, and readers had opinions about it.
"Your Majesty, the border is dangerous, why not let someone else go."
When Xue Rengui heard that they were going to the border, he immediately tried to dissuade them. At this time, all kinds of monsters and demons emerged.
Although their fighting power is extraordinary, they cannot withstand the large numbers.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s finish this matter here first and then discuss it.
For now we need to carry out our plan as the cotton will be harvested in half a month.
Nothing else matters.”
Li Shen did not make any further excuses on this matter. If he wanted to change the map, he had to finish dealing with everything here before he could leave.
Nothing is more important than his plan now. Money comes first and everything else can be postponed.
Regardless of whether those rebels were kept in captivity by Li Zhi, if Li Shen could massacre them once, he could massacre them a second time.
After the team rested, they continued on their journey. However, Li Shen did not ride a horse, but got on a carriage.
Lying in the carriage, Li Shen began to think. The rebels were not to be feared. If all else failed, he could mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress them.
He was just here for a short while. The remnants of Gaochang had been pacified and the corrupt officials were being dealt with.
As long as he ensures the supply of food and grass to the front line, he will have accomplished his mission.
As for the newly discovered mysterious rebel army, it was not that important to him.
As long as they don't cause trouble, Li Shen will ignore them and let Guo Xiaoke deal with them after he comes back.
Li Shen wanted to go to the border just to see if he could gain any advantage or make some money.
Li Shen's team quickly arrived at the villa. Half a day later, someone came to report that the craftsmen had arrived.
Li Shen went to the workshop area without stopping.
These people have just arrived and with the shadow of Wang Wencheng, Li Shen must appease them first when they come for the first time.
Regarding the allocation of craftsmen, those who had worked there before will still go back to their original workshops, and the rest will be allocated according to their conditions.
Especially for those women, Li Shen tried his best to assign them to one workshop so as not to mix men and women.
Although working together as a couple is not tiring, most of these people have families, and adultery is not a good thing.
Li Shen has made requirements for everyone, including the accommodation area, that men and women are not allowed to enter each other's accommodation area, no matter what the matter is.
If caught once, wages will be deducted; if caught more than three times, the person will be fired.
Li Shen also thoughtfully prepared rooms for couples. Some of the people came as couples, and their parents and brothers helped with the harvest.
It took Li Shen half a day to arrange the affairs for these 10,000 people, and it was already evening when he returned to the villa.
Although the people have been settled, work cannot start without cotton.
Everyone, including Li Shen, was waiting for the cotton to be picked. With more than half a month left, Li Shen issued an order to start the plan.
After staying in the workshop area for five or six days, Li Shen received a message from Wang Xuance asking him to go back and take charge of the overall situation.
Li Shen knew that the case was almost finished and he needed to go back to make the final conclusion.
This time Li Shen did not let his family follow him, and he would not be delayed for too long when he returned, as the plan would start soon.
He had to watch here in case anything unexpected happened.
Li Shen led his team back to Xizhou without stopping. At this moment, Xizhou City had become much more lively than before.
Ordinary people can also be seen on the streets. It seems that this cleansing is very gratifying to the people.
When he arrived at the governor's mansion, Wang Xuance was already waiting there.
"I heard that the three of you have already finished the trial of the case?"
Entering the Governor's Mansion, Li Shen sat in the first seat and asked the three people below.
“Your Highness, with the assistance of Pei Changshi and General Li, I have lived up to your trust and have tried all the corrupt officials one by one.
This is the file, please have a look at it, Your Highness Prince Ji."
Wang Xuance stood up, handed over a memorial, and also included Pei Ziyu and the other two.
The two men immediately looked at Wang Xuance with gratitude. They understood that Wang Xuance was asking for credit for them.
"I won't read the file. You tell me about it." Li Shen waved his hand. He didn't know too many characters, so he might not be able to understand it even if he read it.
Although Li Shen learned Thousand Character Classic when he was a child, he still didn't recognize many characters.
There are many differences between the characters of the Tang Dynasty and modern characters.
He is the first illiterate prince in the Tang Dynasty.
"Yes." Wang Xuance began to report after hearing this:
“Your Highness Prince Ji, there were more than 70 officials convicted this time, 16 of whom were sentenced to immediate execution, and 9 were sentenced to 40 lashes and dismissed from office to return home.
The remaining fifty or so people had their property confiscated and were fined double the amount for embezzlement.
However, considering the hard work and dedication of these people, who have made great contributions to the stability of Xizhou,
So I thought we could start over and give them a chance to mend their ways.
Please let your highness Prince Ji decide. "
Li Shen frowned:
"Are you saying that we should let bygones be bygones?" Li Shen's face turned a little ugly.
This is all part of the plan, and we have to do the whole show.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, they have already paid the forgiveness money. More importantly, our Tang Dynasty has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
Although these people were corrupt, the impact was small and the amount of corruption was not huge.
I think that considering their merits, their demerits can be offset and the fine can be regarded as their punishment."
Wang Xuance replied sternly, as if he was arguing for his point.
Pei Ziyu and the other man were moved by what they saw. They thought that Wang Changshi was a trustworthy man and would really do his job after receiving the money.
Unlike Prince Ji, who is unwilling to do anything even after receiving money.
“Your Highness Prince Ji, I second what the Chief Clerk Wang said. I also ask Your Highness Prince Ji to spare these people for their dedication to Xizhou.
I promise that after they have learned their lesson this time, they will never make the same mistake again."
Pei Ziyu stood up, bowed respectfully and pleaded.
"I beg Your Highness Prince Ji to show mercy and give them a chance to reform."
General Li also stood up and saluted.
Li Shen looked gloomy as he looked at the three people. After a long while, he asked:
"How much did they pay in fines?"
"My Lord, including those who were beheaded, the total amount is more than 2.1 million strings of cash, of which more than 700,000 strings of cash were confiscated from their embezzlement.
The remaining 1.3 million guan is the fine they paid.”
Wang Xuance hurriedly reported.
When he heard the number of more than 1.3 million strings of cash, Li Shen's eyes lit up and the expression on his face involuntarily relaxed.
“Since they have made such a great contribution, this king should indeed treat them leniently.
I believe that my Tang Dynasty will not treat its meritorious officials unfairly.
Well then, as you three said, I will let bygones be bygones, and I will personally announce the verdict on them later."
(I found that I can make money by recommending books. There is a book recommendation center in my APP, which has a recommendation task.
I took a look at the rules, but didn't understand them. What is a 15-day cycle? Anyway, there will be profits.
I discovered this by accident. I actually made more than 260 yuan and have already withdrawn it.
You may want to give it a try, and help me recommend the book.)
