Chapter 523 Stable situation

Jing Yu felt that corrupt officials should be punished, but you can't be so slim!

The arrest of all the officials who made mistakes seemed to be severely punishing corrupt officials and governing the officialdom, but in fact, it led to the suspension of the prefecture and the county government, which directly caused greater chaos in Qinzhou.

It's really not worth the loss.

Li Yu slapped his face and expressed his agreement.

He sighed: "My approach is indeed too radical! If Mr. Jing had been by my side earlier, reminded me and advised me, I would not have made such a big mistake!"

After a moment of pause, he looked at Jing Yu and said, "Mr. Jing was disappointed with the court, but was also disappointed with the people of Qinzhou?"

“…”

Jing Yu was speechless.

Li Yu continued to ask: "Mr. Jing is dissatisfied with the ministers in the court, but is he also dissatisfied with the people of Qinzhou?"

“…”

"Mr. Jing has read so many books," Li Yu also looked at the bookshelf next to him.

There are unique objects in Jing Yu's home, only the bookshelf is filled with densely packed with hundreds of books.

Many books are already broken, and they are obviously often read by him.

"Mr. Jing studied hard for more than ten years and had great ambitions. In the final analysis, isn't it just to benefit the people?

Now the people of Qinzhou are suffering. Doesn’t Mr. Jing really want to contribute?”

Li Yu's words made Jing Yu fall into deep thought and also entered his heart.

Everyone watching outside the door couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is right!"

"Your Highness is kind and different from the ministers in the court. Shuxian (Jing Yu's courtesy name Shuxian) is the only way to help Your Highness!"

"Qinzhou is in turmoil, Mr. Jing cannot sit idly!"

People are persuading Jing Yu every word.

Why do scholars need to read?

The living conditions of the ancients were no more modern than those of modern times.

Reading is not a necessity, and it costs a lot of money.

Many people are relying on their family to borrow money to study.

They spent so much money and read so many books, why?

Ultimately, it is for fame and fortune.

Now the officials in Qinzhou have been punished from top to bottom, and a large number of official positions are in vacancies.

If Jing Yu could accept the invitation from the King of Wu at this time, would they, friends with good relationships with Jing Yu, also have the opportunity to enter the officialdom?

As the saying goes, one person can attain enlightenment, and a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven!

In fact, this is precisely one of the important reasons why Jing Yu rejected Li Yu's invitation.

He knew in his heart that once he was activated by the King of Wu, many of his close friends would come to him and ask him for an official position.

And by then, he might have lost many friends.

Even many friends will become enemies with him.

Seeing that Jing Yu was still hesitating, Li Yu suddenly stood up, bowed to Jing Yu, and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Jing to help me!"

No one expected that the dignified vassal king would bow to Jing Yu like this in vain.

Even Jinwu, Lu Chi, and Li Kang were shocked. The three of them subconsciously said: "Your Highness——"

Li Yu kept a bowing posture.

Jing Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that he was so scared that he quickly stood up, first retreated, then quickly stepped forward, dragged Li Yu's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness... Your Highness is a traitorous person..."

Li Yu said with emotion: "The people of Qinzhou have suffered too much, and they can't suffer anymore! Please be sure to help me!"

His words and his attitude at this moment really touched Jing Yu deeply.

For the sake of the people of Qinzhou, His Highness can block the vassal king's figure and beg for himself in a low voice. How could he only think about himself?

Jing Yu took a deep breath, made up his heart and said, "Okay! Cao people are willing to assist Your Highness and help Your Highness govern Qinzhou!"

As he spoke, Jing Yu knelt on his knees and kowtowed forward.

Seeing this, Li Yu was overjoyed and there were even cheers outside the door.

Seeing people excited and excited, it seemed as if they had become officials.

Li Yu personally took action and invited Jing Yu, but the result was that he lived up to expectations. Jing Yu finally agreed to enter the official career again.

The next day, Li Yu promoted Jing Yu to the Chief Secretary of Qinzhou.

However, formal enthronement still needs to be passed through the court, so it will take some time.

The governor is the second-ranked second-ranked person after the governor of the state. He has a high position and a powerful position. Moreover, Jing Yu, the governor of the state, is still the acting governor of the state.

It can be said that Jing Yu is the government affairs in the entire Qinzhou now.

After Jing Yu took office, he immediately activated a large number of officials.

Among these officials, he did not have many friends, most of them were people who had mediocre relationships with him or even had no acquaintance with each other.

Jing Yu used to be an official in the Ministry of Personnel, which was the personnel department. Jing Yu dared not speak very well about talented people in the world, but he did know a lot.

In recent days, Jing Yu sent people to visit everywhere, inviting talented men who had not yet entered the official career and invited them to come to Qinzhou to become officials.

The people he invited were not only limited to Qinzhou, but more than half of them were people outside Qinzhou.

And his approach has indeed caused dissatisfaction among many friends.

When Jing Yu was in a downturn, they paid and worked hard to help him, but now he is developing, but he has left himself aside.

People think that Jing Yu is too heartless.

However, Li Yu was very satisfied with Jing Yu's performance.

Not being favored or nepotist, this is the real Qingliu!

After taking office, Jing Yu not only recruited talents from all over the country, he also did several things drastically.

First, all private grain stores and all grains in Huaian County, Pingchuan County and Xiayuan County were sealed off to be sold directly by the government.

The purpose of doing this is to stabilize grain prices.

The fluctuations in grain prices are directly controlled by the government.

Secondly, many farmers have no food to eat and have no choice but to sell the most valuable thing in their hands, that is land.

This also led to a large amount of land being annexed by landlords and powerful people during this period.

Jing Yu ordered these landlords and powerful people to return the farmers' land immediately. As for the little money the farmers exchanged for selling land, they could be paid off within three years.

Third, the government contributed money and efforts to build temporary gathering places to resettle refugees.

...

Under Jing Yu's series of governance, the turmoil and unrest in Qinzhou finally gradually calmed down.

Less than half a month later, the official documents of the court were passed to Huaian City, and Jing Yu officially became the chief minister of Qinzhou.

In fact, there were also great oppositions in the court to Li Yu’s use of Jing Yu.

The representative figure among them is Tao Yuan.

However, Li Yu refused to agree and approved the memorial submitted by Li Yu.

After Li Yu learned about the situation, he was curious. He also specially asked Jing Yu to ask him where he offended Tao Yuan.

In Li Yu's impression, Tao Yuan was not a narrow-minded person.

Jing Yu briefly talked about the holiday with Tao Yuan to Li Yu.

In fact, the holidays between them are not big or small...
