After pulling out the stack of official information from the dead Liu Baocai's hand, Fang Zhiyi left the military camp with satisfaction.
In the next few days, drastic changes occurred in the entire Anning City and its surrounding areas.
Teams of soldiers armed with live ammunition trotted through the streets. From time to time, the people would see their county magistrate being dragged out, and then the leading officer would read out his crimes and the money he had embezzled in public, and then he would be executed by firing squad.
The county magistrate, the finance department, the tax department, the township director... those high-ranking officials were dragged into the streets one by one by the soldiers for public trial. The people went from being panic-stricken to excited, and everyone applauded.
Fang Zhiyi was shocked.
He thought there was corruption, and Cao Wenjie was somewhat helpless after his investigation. So the list of names reported to him shocked him. From top to bottom under his rule, no one was clean!
Cao Wenjie never expected that Fang Zhiyi would make a shocking decision after a brief moment of shock.
kill!
From this moment on, he was truly afraid of this Marshal who seemed to have just woken up.
Fang Zhiyi then arranged for someone to post a notice, and anyone who was capable could go to the Marshal's Mansion to recommend themselves for an official position! In addition, some soldiers were transferred from the military camp to temporarily fill these political positions.
Zhao Dezhu was a little worried, as this move would touch upon the interests of local gentry, but the Marshal didn't seem to mind.
Fang Zhiyi certainly doesn't mind, the gun is in his hands!
After raiding so many houses, all the soldiers under my command have received their food and wages in full, and their combat effectiveness has increased by more than one level!
Fang Zhiyi also redefined the military regulations, especially strictly prohibiting harassing civilians, robbing, and leaving the camp without reason.
At the same time, he disbanded and reorganized his troops and promoted a large number of young officers. It can be said that the army at this time exuded vigorous vitality.
The new government policy was promulgated without any hindrance, abolishing a series of excessive taxes and levies. At the same time, Fang Zhiyi opened a grain store and sold grain at a fair price. These two measures brought Fang Zhiyi's reputation to a new height.
His reputation also changed from "dog warlord" to "Fang Governor".
At the old man's house, at this moment, he arranged for servants to keep watch outside. He looked at the people sitting in the room and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang is crazy. He killed officials, soldiers, and even killed my son. Now he actually wants to let those peasants become officials! Everyone, what do you think?"
A squire gritted his teeth and said, "Old Master, it doesn't matter what we think. He has someone with a gun. What can we do?"
"Yeah, are we going to fight him with just the few broken guns we have at home?" someone said dejectedly.
The old man smiled and said, "I have a clear path for you."
"Please speak, old master."
"Marshal Luo of Wacheng has a very good personal relationship with my son..."
The house was silent.
"What the old man means is..."
"It means you are finished." The door was opened, and the old man watched his servants respectfully welcome a group of soldiers in.
"You! This is our home!" said the old man's eldest son angrily.
"Gongjia? There won't be any Gongjia after today." Cao Wenjie said with a sinister smile, "I was just saying I was too lazy to look for them one by one, and you guys just gathered yourselves together."
