Volume 1, Chapter 288: Three public notices to rectify South City.
Now that we have made up our minds, we must rectify this southern city.
Ye Tingmu’s ideas were naturally clear.
It’s just four words.
Live and work in peace and contentment.
So, the first thing is to address the crime rate.
Although we cannot immediately achieve the goal of not picking up things on the road and not closing the market at night,
But at the very least, those who bully the market and commit crimes must be eradicated.
He called the thirty-six halls and offices.
Beat together.
What happened in the past will be forgiven, but if someone acts in the future for personal gain, we will punish them.
There is no need to report to the court, Ye Tingmu will definitely kill him with one sword.
These people work just to make a living, and of course they would not refuse if they could live a better life.
But his current boss is Ye Tingmu, and Zhou Tongpan, the second-in-command of Nancheng, was just thrown out this morning.
When he was found, he was already dead.
There was also King Wu's son, Chao Ping, who was killed by him with a single sword.
As a result, the day was already halfway through and the news had spread throughout the city, but no one came to cause trouble for Ye Tingmu.
They can't afford to offend.
I could only nod obediently.
He promised with confidence that he would strictly implement what he said.
After sounding the alarm for everyone.
Ye Tingmu issued three more notices.
The first one is to warn the bullies in South City that if they don’t want to follow in the footsteps of Chao Ping and others, they should restrain themselves from today. Before today, past offenses will be forgiven, but after today, they will be severely punished.
The second rule: All citizens of the South City who have received grievances that have not been redressed in the Thirty-Six Yamen can appeal directly to the General Government Yamen, which will investigate every detail thoroughly. Regardless of whether they are civilians, officials, or royal relatives, they will all be treated uniformly in accordance with the existing laws of the Nine Provinces.
The third one is about the internal rectification of the government office itself. Any officials who insult, bully or harm the people will be executed.
The same words were posted under the three notices, saying that anyone who provided information or reported the incident would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver.
The posting of the three notices immediately caused an uproar throughout the South City.
The people talked about it and all praised it.
"They say a new official starts with three fires. Our Shaoqing Houye is really fierce in his fires."
"That's right. I'm afraid this fire will not stop until the entire South City is burned clean."
"No matter what, I will continue to support Lord Shaoqing. It is hard to find such a good official in this world."
"That's right, finally someone can treat us ordinary people as human beings. We don't have to worry about being bullied by those young masters anymore."
"Well, then I don't have to pay the protection fee to the police."
"What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you read what Xiao Tianhou said? Any officials who bully, insult, or harm the people will be executed. If you report them, you'll get a reward."
“Hahaha…that’s reliable!”
After finishing all this, it was getting dark.
Liu Zhangbing also hurried over from outside at this moment.
He looked a little disheveled, with sweat all over his head.
He came to Ye Tingmu.
"Lord, the list you requested has been compiled. My brothers have counted all the homeless children in South City. There are 36,421 of them in total. Not a single one has been missed. We have registered them all."
Ye Tingmu took the thick paper in his hand and couldn't help but frown.
"so much?"
Liu Zhangbing said, "This South City is a prosperous place for commerce, so there are more beggars here. Most of these people are refugees from outside the city, so there are more than you might imagine."
He put down the thick paper. He just wanted some data and didn't need to read it.
I didn’t expect that in such a prosperous city like Zhulu, there are so many homeless children.
Sure enough, in the world of cultivation, there are saints who can display supernatural powers.
But there is also a dark side.
It looks prosperous and powerful on the surface, but in fact, ordinary people are living in dire straits beneath the surface.
This is not difficult to understand, after all, in the eyes of a warrior like him.
Hundreds of these people can be killed with just one sword.
Naturally, his life was very tragic.
He could also understand why Wu Yanwang wanted to change all this.
However, these problems that have been left over for millions of years cannot be changed just because you want to.
You need the support of the people and you also need strong power.
Tear apart the power of the dictator.
He kicked and woke up the fat man who had been dozing off beside him.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up."
The fat man stood up in confusion and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Ye Tingmu rolled his eyes at him.
"Do me a favor?"
As soon as he heard that there was something to do, Wanjin became interested instantly.
So Ye Tingmu told Wan Jin his idea.
After hearing this, Wan Jin's eyes rolled and his face was full of excitement.
Ye Tingmu asked again to confirm: "How is it, can this be done?"
Wan Jin patted his chest, and all his sleepiness disappeared.
"Master, this is amazing! I'm good at this. Anything that can be solved with money is nothing to me."
Ye Tingmu nodded with satisfaction.
Then he patted his waist.
Dozens of vitality pills that he had looted from the saints appeared in his palm.
"Well, Master can't let you work for nothing. Sell these."
Wan Jinhu's body trembled and he quit on the spot.
"Master, aren't you slapping me in the face?"
Ye Tingmu was both angry and amused.
Although it is true that you are my apprentice, I cannot always take advantage of you.
He said angrily, "If you don't accept it, you'll be slapping your master in the face! Just consider it a meeting gift from me, your master."
The two fought each other, and finally Wan Jin had no choice but to compromise and accepted the Yuanqi Pill.
This scene shocked Captain Song and Liu Zhangbing who were standing by.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, wow! He is worthy of being the Tian Hou, this one move can give out so many vitality pills.
Even those who are at the extraordinary level only have one or two in their storage bags, and they are reluctant to use them unless it is absolutely necessary.
Seeing them like this, Ye Tingmu coughed.
He pretended to be profound and said, "Follow me and work hard. I won't treat you unfairly. I have plenty of these things."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately expressed their opinions.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, we will do our best and will not let you down."
Ye Tingmu nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest."
After saying this, he also went out of the government office.
Let Wanjin take care of the next thing.
He planned to build the largest orphanage in South City.
Adopt these orphans.
Let them have a place to live and food to eat.
When I grow up, I will become a pillar of the country... Hehe, of course this is a bit far-fetched.
But I also went hungry with my younger brothers and sisters.
Now he has some abilities.
Help if you can.
The most important thing is to place these children well.
I believe that the South City District will improve faster in the future.
In fact, the methods used by later generations to govern the world are applied to this world.
It is very convenient to manage.
You can also see the results quickly, as long as someone does it for you.
After all, most people in this era do not have as complicated thoughts as those in the current society on Blue Star.
There are not so many ideas. As long as you make their lives better than before, they will listen to you.
And give them respect.
How does the saying go?
Be humble in front of the weak and be strong in front of the strong.
What you do is make the former adore you and the latter fear you.
This is how a wise man handles things.
