Who is right?

From a purely theoretical perspective, Zhao Han did nothing wrong, and all policies were in line with the sages’ words.

If "The Collection of Datong" is correct, then should my slaves be released? Should I return them to freedom?

A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old is easily influenced by advanced theories, and Zheng Sen has already begun to gravitate towards the booklet "Datong Collection".

…

Foshan.

Rich businessman Xie Shijun began to regret that he should not have handed over the firearms at home.

At this moment, a group of officials carrying water and fire sticks dared to go to Xie's house to show off their power. The wealthy businessmen in the town were like this. They honestly registered their slaves without any room for resistance.

Suddenly, another group of official servants came, wearing black clothes with blue trim.

The officers who were doing business shivered when they saw the person coming. Although they didn't know the person, they knew the clothes and clean affairs department!

"You are temporarily suspending your work," the official from the Department of Integrity ordered.

"Yes." Ordinary officials responded quickly.

An official from the Department of Integrity produced an official document: "Foshan Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his son paid a bribe of 500 taels to an officer in Datong. They refused to repent for this bad deed, and bribed another 300 taels to the Nanhai County Magistrate. The Nanhai County Magistrate has been imprisoned and confessed.

, the witnesses and material evidence are all there. Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his son should be arrested and imprisoned immediately, and a trial date will be set for sentencing!"

Xie Shijun was dragged out and shouted in horror: "I didn't pay a bribe, I didn't pay a bribe!"

The official from the Department of Integrity continued to read: "The domestic slave Xie Chong was ordered by the Xie family to bribe him and was arrested and imprisoned together."

Xie Shijun quickly said: "This is what the slave did against his master, and I didn't know anything about it!"

"Whether you know or not, we'll tell you when we get to the Integrity Department's office." The official from the Integrity Department sneered.

Seeing the Integrity Department arresting three people, ordinary officials were trembling with fear.

The officials here in Guangzhou now call the Integrity Department the "Black Guards", which is equivalent to the "Jinyi Guards" of the Ming Dynasty. These guys seem to be pervasive, arresting corrupt officials everywhere, and now they have taken away the head of the Xie family.

Many wealthy businessmen in Foshan are hiding at home and dare not go out.

Their original plan was to cooperate with Zhao Han in everything, and when Zhao Han left Guangzhou, they would use money to knock out the official.

But now the Integrity Department suddenly appeared, and the Guangzhou Integrity Department office was officially established. In recent days, a group of domestic slaves were recruited as spies, which made everyone in the wealthy businessmen feel in danger. They always felt that the servants at home were all spies of the Integrity Department.

.

Once a bribe is paid, a fine of at least ten times will be imposed.

If the bribe exceeds one hundred taels, both the embezzler and the briber will be sentenced to death. Several people have been publicly killed these days.

The merchants were all frightened. They had never seen anything like this, and they even regretted seizing the city and dedicating it to them.

Up until this point, Zhao Han had not made it clear what the rules of doing business would be in the future.

To govern a group of merchants, is there still a battle of wits and courage?

First confiscate their firearms, then let them release the slaves, and then what to do with the rest. Zhao Han was annoyed, so he didn't mind killing a few more. From now on, he would just let the Integrity Department keep a close eye on him.
