Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth Nine: The Book of Criminal Names

Not long after, in the best inn in Pingyuan City, in the spacious and bright bedroom, Yuan Xi sat directly on the desk, and the man named Xu was kneeling in front of him.

"It's been three years, right?" Yuan Xi asked after a while of silence.

The man nodded immediately, but did not respond.

"You still haven't let go of that thing back then," Yuan Xi asked softly.

"Caomin is ashamed, I'm sorry to the old man, I'm sorry to the dead Xiaorou girl. If it weren't for Caomin's youthful, arrogant, and arrogant, I would definitely avoid that storm." The man raised his head slightly, with tears in his eyes.

Yuan Xi shook his head and stood up and said, "Xu Miao, until now, do you still think that the incident back then is just your reason?"

It turned out that the man who had just solved the murder case was Xu Miao, the first person to hold the tiger medal given by Yuan Xi, who thoroughly investigated the case of the second young master of the Yu family who harmed a woman.

"No! Caomin later figured it out that all this was the way the king eliminated all the old ministers of Youzhou faction," Xu Miao said loudly.

Yuan Xi raised his lips and said, "Since that's the case, why do you feel so guilty? Is it a strange orphan?"

"No! If the king had not had such a method, how could he achieve his current glorious hegemony?" Xu Miao said with a respectful face. When he went to Youzhou, Yuan Xi, let alone now, even Youzhou was still in internal and external troubles at that time.

"Then why don't you come to Yecheng?" Yuan Xi was a little curious.

Xu Miao smiled bitterly and blamed himself: "That case was a way for the king to eradicate the old ministers, but Cao was too interested in showing off the limelight and ignored the psychological burden that Lao Zhang, a poor people, could bear. If the minister could be calm at that time, he would not have taken him directly to the governor's mansion, but would have found out the evidence silently. If Cao Min could be more fair, he could quickly see A Hu's huge suspicion. The king was not wrong. The king just borrowed this matter and would not have let the real murderer go. The mistake was because Cao Min's attempt to become famous and self-interested."

"Hahaha" Yuan Xi's eyes showed a deep appreciation. What a Xu Miao, who is righteous but respects the king. There are many ministers in all dynasties. They are upright and uphold the law, but they often ignore the royal power. Perhaps some emperors can allow it, but he will not allow it. The royal power is supreme.

Yuan Xi gently helped Xu Miao up and said seriously: "Jingshan, as a yamen runner, you can only quell the grievances in the land. My Dayan now has such a vast territory. You need talents like you to uphold justice and make things right. Don't escape. Do a great cause. In this way, you don't give your knowledge and truly respect the old man who committed suicide and does not make such a tragedy happen again."

The eyes of "King" Xu Miao suddenly showed a deep emotion.

"What do you want to do? Say? I can satisfy you even if I am alone," Yuan Xi said gently.

"King, Caomin has traveled to many places in the past three years. If you really ask what you want to do, Caomin just wants to do something for the people." A trace of firmness flashed across Xu Miao's face.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, sat back on the desk again, and said solemnly: "Say? What do you want?"

"The king, I want to carry out a huge change in the yamen runners of each prefecture, county, and county," Xu Miao bowed.

Yuan Xi was stunned, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he said, "You want to move the yamen runners too."

"Yes, the officials of the king, the county, and the county are all experts in handling civil affairs, but they do have great shortcomings in murders, suspicions, and other cases. The yamen runners are indeed very skilled in this regard. Many cases do not even need to be solved. As long as they travel around the streets, they can get news. The reason why they have no motivation and insufficient achievements is entirely because of the yamen runners, there is no sufficient development space, so the people initiated a report to separate all the yamen runners from all over the country, divide them into detailed promotion levels, clarify goals, and improve the status of the yamen runners in the court," Xu Miao said seriously.

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "The Shangshutai has also discussed this matter, but my Dayan now consumes a lot. If the yamen runners are independent, they will need to bear it. The pressure is quite high!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have thought about this. However, after I carefully understood it, I found that there is actually a directional problem here. In fact, it doesn't matter, the loss will be greater," Xu Miao said with a smile.

"Oh! Tell me," Yuan Xi was a little looking forward to it.

"In fact, the salary of various prefectures, counties and counties to the yamen runners is very small. The salary of the yamen runners mainly comes from extortion of some vendors and the so-called fees." Xu Miao showed a hint of disgust on his face.

"What is a fee?" Yuan Xi's face froze.

"The king is an invisible charge. For example, when fighting and fighting, there is a tea money, service money, etc. When the yamen runners are inquiring, they are the main income. In addition, some local gangsters can even become yamen runners by relying on their connections. This has led to the number of yamen runners in some places that are thousands, and they are receiving the salary of each government for nothing," Xu Miao said.

"Bastard" Yuan Xi immediately cursed angrily.

"The king calms down. These are all poisons. However, now all prefectures, counties and counties in Dayan have strictly controlled this aspect, which is not as outrageous as the period of Emperor Huanling. Therefore, if these yamen runners do not take any fundamental and thorough control, it will lead to a reduction in the country's income and make the people feel injustice," Xu Miao comforted.

"Jingshan, could it be that the income you mentioned is the fee?" Yuan Xi said seriously.

"Of course not, king, if this is the case, it will become even more severe. The minister's suggestion is to establish strict laws, such as fighting, theft and robbery. Although it is not a serious crime, it is necessary to establish a clear fine system and punishment system, killing people, closure of shops, and closing shops. All income will be counted by the yamen runners and handed over to the treasury as a severe punishment. In this way, not only will the people know the law and the society is peaceful, but it can also provide a certain income for the yamen runners. The pressure on the treasury will be much less. As long as the Great Yan unifies the world, many strategies to enrich the country and strengthen the people can be implemented. Even without these, the yamen runners can be saved. More importantly, such yamen runners will be more motivated because they have a direction to move forward and a step forward."

"No matter the number of people and system, they will be managed in a unified manner, rather than changing with the changes of the governing officials in one place. In addition, the king has a million troops, and the resettlement of many soldiers is also a serious matter. Many soldiers are not enough for money. The grass-roots people can completely place them in the yamen runners. First, they can supplement personnel, second, they can serve as reserves, and third, there are also considerable resettlement fees." Xu Miao said with a smile.

"Hahaha" Hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled loudly and praised: "Jingshan is a talented man. If you follow your method, you might really do it."

"Come"

"King" Hu Niuer immediately walked in.

"Jingshan, you immediately return to Yecheng with Sima Yi, the minister of Dali Temple, and met Kong Ming. The three of them negotiated. They asked for a complete detailed plan to completely distinguish the issues of public security in various places from civil affairs," Yuan Xi said seriously.

"promise!"

"In addition, since you have this plan, the name of the yamen runner is not suitable. From today on, you will be called the Tomb. You will be the first Secretary of the Tomb. The name of the Sinister of the Ministry of Tomb. As for the rest of you and Kong Ming, Zhongda will study it themselves. I hope that when I go back, this matter can be settled," Yuan Xi ordered.
