Iron Dynasty

In the evening, Fan Zeng sent his one day's news to the palace. After reading it, Xiao Ming further confirmed the current situation.

Cunwang, that is, the most virtuous and respected people in the village, these people are often elected as Lizheng. Now the fact is that many Lizheng collude with the wealthy and oppress the people for the sake of money. They are the minions of the wealthy family. Fan Zeng also mentioned that these Lizheng were at the time. Reaction.

It is estimated that they have already told their master about the influence of the newspaper on the people in the village.

This is a very serious matter for Xiao Ming. Although these are the lowest official positions, they are at the grassroots level. It is a matter of whether he can win over the people.

After all, Li is still very prestigious in the village, and because of the support of the wealthy family, he is also quite powerful in the village.

Your Highness is worrying about government affairs again? Luluo walked in with a bowl of lotus seed porridge.

Now the two of them have become accustomed to getting along with Xiao Ming, and they respect Xiao Ming with a feeling of master and servant similar to when they get along with Concubine Zhen.

Xiao Ming nodded, Yes, this newspaper has been passed down, but if a village is controlled by the vassal noble family, the people are living under the strict supervision of the noble family, which is really annoying.

Luluo and Ziwan naturally knew what Xiao Ming was doing. With Xiao Ming's full-fledged wings, his next step was to remove the influence of the local aristocrats in the fief and fully grasp the rights of the fief.

This is a piece of mouse droppings that ruined a pot of soup. Wouldn't it be fine if we could fish out this mouse droppings? Luluo wondered.

It's easier said than done. The tradition of being elected by the villagers has lasted for thousands of years. If it is broken at this time, it will definitely cause an uproar, and this king has no suitable people to go down to the village to be the righteous. Xiao Ming said.

Luluo said: Your Highness, you have never lived in the village, so you may not understand. In the village, like in Qingzhou city, there are conflicts between people. When choosing Lizheng, there are different candidates. Since Your Highness knows how to let the Qin family and the Wang family fight each other, so why can't they also fight each other?

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. He praised: Well, not bad, I have been with Aster for a long time, but I have learned to think about problems.

Luluo blushed and said, Your Highness, don't praise the slaves, the slaves just talked about the way the village used to be.

No, you want a reward, tell me what you want? Xiao Ming smiled.

Luluo hesitated for a moment. Seeing Xiao Ming's enthusiasm, she didn't want to disappoint, so she shyly said, I want to eat pot chicken.

Hahaha... Xiao Ming said with great joy, No problem, this time not only will I let you eat pot chicken, but I will also let you try braised pork.

Braised pork? You know it's delicious just by the name. Luluo's saliva was about to flow down.

Xiao Ming said: When I decide what is right here, I will let Pao Ding cook it for you.

Thank you, Your Highness. Luluo went out happily.

Xiao Ming walked on the spot excitedly. Luluo's words reminded him that he only needs to change the lizheng into two, one positive and one pair, to reduce the right of the lizheng, and then let the secret guard use methods to provoke them. He will straighten Li Zheng who is in his interests.

Of course, the reason why he has a headache now is because the power of the aristocratic clan is still very strong. When he castrates the aristocratic clan, those who play with him will see how he cleans up.

While thinking about it, Xiao Ming picked up the lotus seed porridge and drank it. At this time, Li San appeared at the door, and he said, Your Highness, every village is entering the city, and they went to the house of the local noble family.

It's so fast. Xiao Ming was a little surprised, these people were really busy taking credit.

Write down all of these Lizheng information and give it to me. Xiao Ming's heart was burning with anger, but Lizheng, who was his own fief, tipped off the wealthy family, which was simply contempt for him.

Li San said: His Royal Highness, I have already brought the information of these few Lizheng.

Saying that, Li San handed a piece of paper to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming took a look. Qingzhou City has a total of 12 counties and hundreds of villages. The paper notes densely record the names of 30 Lizheng, village names and related backgrounds.

Li San received Xiao Ming's professional intelligence system training, and now his professional level is initially reflected.

His Royal Highness, these people are eating the food provided by the government office, but they are colluding with the wealthy family. They really eat the inside and outside. In my opinion, it is better to kill the chicken and show the monkeys. Li San said.

Xiao Ming glared at him, Don't think that you can fool around with a few good hands and build a secret guard that satisfies me. You are still far from it.

Li San shrugged his head suddenly.

To kill at this time, didn't I tell the wealthy clan headed by the Wang family and the Qin family that this king has a guilty conscience? Xiao Ming sneered.

Then how is your Highness going to break the game, whether you need the cooperation of the secret guards. Li San said.

Xiao Ming pondered for a while and said: So you came just in time, and there is something for you to do...

So Xiao Ming asked him to collect the evidence of Lizheng's collusion with the wealthy family, and encouraged the people to stand up for Lizheng to explain everything to him. On the one hand, he decided to slow down.

Because the news about the Wang family and the Qin family this time was just a test to see how deep the water of this wealthy family was. Now, it seems that it is not shallow.

Now these things are preventing him from establishing direct contact with the people, so he is the first person to get rid of. Only with the support of the people can he have a steady stream of soldiers and a steady stream of food.

After making this plan, Xiao Ming began to prepare. As for Li Zheng going to take credit, he was not afraid, because he played fifty big boards each for the Wang family and the Qin family, and it was just a matter of fact, not involving other wealthy families.

Even if they are dissatisfied, it is these two families who are dissatisfied, and the other wealthy families will only see jokes.

Moreover, these two families are dissatisfied with themselves, and they are also dissatisfied with the hype about this matter in the newspapers. They will not think that Xiao Ming's purpose is to provoke the people's long-standing resentment against them.

Tomorrow he just needs to publish another article and praise them in a painless place.

Just as Xiao Ming thought, Qin Chuanyun and Wang Chengchou were extremely annoyed when they learned that at this time, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family is nothing but shame, and Xiao Ming made them look ugly in front of everyone.

It's just that after the anger, they have nothing to do, because this newspaper is a matter of fact.

But the next day, their anger disappeared again, and the newspapers praised the Qin family and the Wang family's contribution to the revival of the fief, making them both painful and happy.

And now Xiao Ming's voice has made them completely confused, and they can't figure out the real purpose of this King Qi.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Ming quickly started the replacement of village officials. Many people believed that officials with high positions were more harmful. In fact, the rot at the grassroots level is really terrible. , the roots rot and the tree dies.

It was because of this realization that Xiao Ming came up with this propaganda and test. Now that the goal is clear, the following things can be done step by step.
