Chapter 70 New Policy

That woman is Leng Chan!

"My beloved concubine! What are you doing?" Chai Yi smiled and greeted him.

The two girls were talking none of them, and when they heard Chai Yi's voice, he hurriedly bowed, "I'm here to see the prince!"

"Minister Leng Chan meets the prince!"

"No need to be polite! What are you two doing?" Chai Yi waved his hand, pinching his chin and wondering what they were.

Yu Kehan ​​was a little dissatisfied, and he paused and said, "No! I and Miss Leng have just returned from a trip. Has the prince finished his work?"

"Yeah." Chai Yi frowned slightly. This girl was weird! After thinking about it, she asked, "Han'er, are you hiding something from me?"

"No! No!" Yu Kehan ​​shook his head like a rattle, "What can I hide from the prince? You're thinking too much."

"Oh? Is that right?" Chai Yi certainly wouldn't believe it. He wouldn't be like this if he had nothing to hide from him? But she didn't want to say that Chai Yi had no choice. She couldn't force her to say it, right? This is not Chai Yi's style. "Okay! I believe in you."

Yu Kehan ​​didn't say anything, smiled with a slight joy flashed in his eyes.

Chai Yi didn't care and looked at Leng Chan and said, "How is the matter going?"

Leng Chan pouted her mouth and shook her head slowly.

Chai Yi looked helpless and said unsatisfiedly: "It's been so long since it's been no progress. You have to hold on tight, and you probably will be back soon with the adults."

"Prince, please rest assured! Leng Chan will definitely get things done before she comes back with the lord!" Leng Chan said confidently, with confidence.

"Okay! I believe in your abilities! I don't have much time left."

After chatting for a few more words, Chai Yi went back to the palace to rest.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard the voice of Xiao Laizi in a daze, “Prince Zhang has something urgent to say that he wants to see you!”

"Mr. Zhang? Which Master Zhang?" Chai Yi asked this ambiguously, and he didn't know what he said in a daze.

Little Laizi smiled bitterly and replied: "It's Lord Zhang Liang and Zhang!"

"Zifang! What's the big deal about this guy? I won't have to rest." Since Zhang Liang wanted to see him, there was no reason why he didn't see him. Chai Yi had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes and carry his boots. Zhang Liang stood there waiting for Chai Yi outside the palace.

"Zifang, what's the matter with you? I'm so busy and exhausted recently. Let's go to the garden and sit down!" Chai Yi waved his hand and walked towards the garden with Zhang Liang.

The two sat in the small pavilion in the garden. Zhang Liang took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "This is written by me, please read it!"

"Oh?" Chai Yi took Zhang Liang's thick copy and opened it. Not to mention that Zhang Liang is worthy of being a famous man in history. The copy he wrote absolutely nothing nonsense. He pointed out directly that the Qingzhou prefect's organization was bloated and the government orders were not implemented. Local officials used their power for personal gain and violated laws and disciplines, claiming that this kind of situation was too serious and should be rectified in Qingzhou.

Especially when officials of all sizes appoint private individuals, the phenomenon of nepotism promotion is extremely serious. Officials of all sizes cover each other and abuse their power, which has caused trouble to the people of Qingzhou City.

"There is also the distribution of salary! After investigation by my ministers, officials in Qingzhou City, both big and small, have two to three mansions. Logically speaking, these salary is not enough for them to buy a house? In addition, the court's investigation of local money and grain has not been very detailed, so a strange phenomenon has appeared. My Zhou Dynasty has no taxes, and the treasury basically has no income. It is just eating the treasury of the previous dynasty, but the lower-level people are suffering."

"Is this really the case?" Chai Yi was very angry. Isn't this obvious? It must be the official who is embezzled! "It's really a good start for the prefect! I'm not greedy but also greedy with my subordinates. It's really outrageous!"

Zhang Liang continued: "In addition, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should pay attention to people's livelihood issues again. It is not that people can have food and clothing without taxes. The only ones who benefit from this are corrupt officials! There are also those merchants who do not follow the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This joint force of officials and businessmen has made the people suffer. I believe that we should crack down on smuggling merchants, rectify the salt law, torture and cure corruption, reduce labor, and civil servants' military affairs, and other illegal things!"

"That's right!" Chai Yi nodded, "I don't care about other places, but Qingzhou is my fiefdom, and I can't ignore it! This matter is left to Zifang, you are fully responsible! But in this way, I will report it to the court, so if we take care of it, it's a bit..."

Halfway through his words, Chai Yi felt that it was inappropriate to do this. He thought about Zhang Liang's proposal and solution carefully, but he must let the court know that in this way, he would not get any benefits from it.

"Hey! I have a way!" Chai Yi's eyes turned, and the way came to his heart.

Zhang Liang asked urgently: "I wonder what the prince has to do?"

Chai Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Mutual constraints! Just issue them directly, notify officials of Qingzhou Prefecture, and inform them that everyone plays a supervisory role. Anyone who knows who is corrupt and directly reports to the royal palace will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

This amount is a salary of nearly ten years. This is for larger officials. Even smaller officials will never get this number in their lifetime. Even if they are greedy, they will have to be greedy for a few days. But this report is only a matter of minutes, and you can get a thousand taels of silver in a minute. You can't do it if you are fools!

"This..." Zhang Liang frowned slightly and began to weigh whether Chai Yi's policy could be implemented.

Chai Yi smiled and took a sip of tea. After Zhang Liang finished thinking patiently, he asked, "Junior! Do you think this policy is feasible?"

Although he asked Zhang Liang, he was already waiting for Zhang Liang to praise him. To be precise, there was no big problem with his policy, but if he really wanted to implement it, he would not know how effective it would be.

But Zhang Liang was worried that if the officials were asked to urge each other, what if they colluded? Now the officials in Qingzhou are greedy, more greedy and more greedy. It depends on who is more greedy. Once this policy is implemented, there will definitely be a reward for silver, but where does this reward come from? Thinking of these, Zhang Liang asked his own doubts.

Chai Yi had an idea and said, "It doesn't matter! If you don't make money, you will not make money. But if you want to report others, you must start from yourself and you cannot be greedy. Although this policy of the king is not perfect, it can at least reduce some corrupt officials. Greed will definitely be greedy, but it will not be so greedy. Greed has been there in all dynasties and all this is inevitable. What we need to do is reduce! Reduce it! Can the ovary understand?"

"Great!" Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and raised a firm thumb and said, "Prince! According to what you said, this policy can be implemented! I will do it immediately!"
Chapter completed!
