    When Xiao Yi returned to the camp with dark hands, it immediately caused a sensation. People were first surprised, then happy, and finally crazy about these burning black stones. The light blue flames warmed everyone's heart.  ; Whether it is the burning time or the heat emitted, coal is far better than firewood. This is simply a treasure given by the mountain god!

    There was no need to mobilize at all. People rushed to the hillside like a swarm. They used knives, guns, axes, shovels everything they could use. Those who really didn't have tools dug there with bare hands, letting the gravel and coal crush their hands.  He didn't care about the scratches. Even the youngest children knew how to pick up the leftover cinders on the edge. Groups of mules and horses carried them back and forth. In the end, the entire camp turned into a black ocean!

    The fire drove away the severe cold, and laughter once again filled the camp. People called this black stone 'a gift from the mountain god', and it was a sacred object that saved people from distress. As for Xiao Yi, who brought them coal, he also had a new name.  The messenger of the Mountain God!

    It is said that this messenger went to patrol the mountains every day and sang a ditty he made up, "The mountain god sent me to patrol the mountains. After patrolling the southern mountains, I will patrol the northern mountains. Be careful of coal thieves"

    "Haha, do you think I'm a little monster patrolling the mountains?" Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing after hearing various rumors. It doesn't matter, whether it's a god or a monster, as long as it can protect people from the cold winter,  Then it is worth offering incense to him!

    Xiao Yi immediately ordered that a mountain temple be built on the mountain ridge where the coal mine was discovered to offer sacrifices at all times.

    In just a few days, the people built a mighty and beautiful mountain temple with great enthusiasm, and it was very popular. The difference is that the mountain gods elsewhere are all white-faced, but the mountain god here is actually  It was a little black face, sitting on the altar, holding a mountain whip in one hand, and holding a dark coal in the other hand, smiling broadly

    A few years later, this place turned out to be a local tourist attraction. All the mountain gods in the world were white, but the mountain gods in Shanyang County were all black. Countless literati and poets came here and left calligraphy to praise the 'Mountain God'.  Achievements, of course, come and go, but people will occasionally mention the little monster who likes to patrol mountains. It is said that this monster was later included in "Journey to the West", one of the four famous classics, and it is also somewhat famous

    The heating problem was solved, and Xiao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to check and accept the work results of the scribes. After this natural disaster, it was just a good time to see how capable they were. How many of them were excellent and how many of them were good?  Is it qualified, or will a few people give bad reviews!

    Xiao Yi led a team of soldiers to patrol the camp. Everywhere he went, he would carefully check the livelihood of the refugees, whether they had enough coal for heating, whether they had clothes to keep out the cold, and most importantly, whether they had received adequate food.  During the inspection of battalion after battalion, Xiao Yi said nothing. He only nodded sometimes and frowned. When he returned to the Chinese army's tent, he not only brought back the thirty scribes, but also brought back thirty more.  Kou Guo, a pot for cooking porridge!

    Looking at the steaming porridge pot in front of them, the thirty scribes looked at each other in confusion. No one knew what they meant. Then looking at the baby eunuch sitting on the seat, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!

    Xiao Yi is wearing a military uniform today. The 'Chi pattern cold iron armor' is majestic, and the 'Chi You ghost mask' is frightening. As for the 'Sword of killing dragons', it does not move and sings to itself. The magic weapon is psychic, and it knows  Today you can drink human blood again!

    "You have been in my camp for a while, and you have been entrusted with the important task of people's livelihood. Today is the time to test the results!" Xiao Yi smiled and touched his nose. To govern the people, govern the officials first, and to govern the officials, govern the heart first. Is it black or is it red?  , try it today and find out!

    "I wonder how the prefect wants to check it? Do you need us to get the account books and calculate them one by one?" A bachelor took a half step forward and asked tremblingly. Today they discovered that this baby prefect does not seem to be that kind.  Easy to deal with!

    "Haha! Account books and the like are just a word game. If you have a stroke in your hand, you can't just change it as you please!" Xiao Yicai would not foolishly check any account books. In later generations, the financial discipline was so developed that all kinds of calculation methods were developed.  ,what's the result?  There are still countless loopholes!

    Accounts can be faked, but some things cannot be faked!

    "Xiao Bin, bring the chopsticks!"

    "No!"

    "Dian Wei, get ready with your sword and axe!"

    "No!"

    An ordinary chopstick, a row of swordsmen holding ghost-headed swords, two seemingly unrelated things, this is Xiao Yi's magic weapon to check whether officials are honest!

    "The food in each camp is distributed according to head count, and there is no shortage. However, today I found that the porridge in some camps is very thick, while in others it is thin."?How many grains of rice are there? Why is this?  "Xiao Yi pointed to the porridge pots in front of him. Each one corresponds to a person, "Today I will play a game with everyone, called 'Chopsticks float and heads fall.' Xiao Bin, go ahead and try the porridge with chopsticks!  "

    "No!" Xiao Bin strode forward and thrust the chopsticks into a pot. Yes, the porridge was very thick. The chopsticks stood upright after being inserted.

    "First place, qualified!"

    ? followed by the second, ¡°Qualified!¡±

    The third "Qualified!"

    When the fourth pot was inserted, the chopsticks immediately floated as soon as they were inserted, and then they were poured aside. Looking at the pot again, sure enough, it was all filled with light water and not many rice grains at all!

    "The fourth one, the chopsticks fell to the ground!" Xiaobin's voice was extremely clear, and it also contained the murderous intention of talking about it!

    "My lord, forgive me! Forgive me!" The scribe standing behind the pot was immediately frightened and fell to his knees. He really didn't expect that Xiao Yi would use this method to check. He thought that distributing food and grass was just a fat man. Anyway, in the camp  There were so many refugees, and it was nothing to lose a bite for each person, so he deducted a little when releasing food. In such a famine year, food is money!

    The result is that as greed grows bigger and bigger, the porridge becomes thinner and thinner, so thin that it can reflect the silhouette of a person, or even the human heart!

    "I have told you a long time ago that the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully. Today I will do justice for God, push them out, and kill them!" What Xiao Yi hates most are these corrupt officials. They use their pens to kill countless people.  , if such a person is sent out to take charge of a party, needless to say, he will definitely be as good as the sky!

    "Sir, please spare my life! I am willing to withdraw from the money and food that I am greedy for, and pay a sum of atonement money!" As soon as the word beheading came out, not only the souls of the officials kneeling on the ground flew to the sky, but also the other scribes were also afraid, and they just embezzled a little food.  About to behead?  The laws of the Han Dynasty were not so harsh. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not only could you use money to buy an official position, but you could also use money to atone for your sins.

    "Military law is ruthless, Dian Wei, execute it!"

    "Nuo!" To Dian Wei, the military order was as loud as the sky. He stepped forward and grabbed the paralyzed scribe, carrying a ghost-headed sword and went out. Soon, a short scream came; when Dian Wei came again,  When he entered the Chinese army's tent, he suddenly saw a bloody human head in one hand!

    "Your Majesty, Lord Taishou, please spare your life. Once we realize our guilt, we would rather not be officials anymore and give ourselves a chance to live, right?"

    Seeing Xiao Yi really killing people, the remaining twenty-nine scholars were so frightened that they all knelt down. They no longer had the arrogance they had before. Especially those who were also facing a pot of gruel were so frightened that they shook like chaff.  !

    "Xiao Bin, continue!" Xiao Yi was unmoved at all. It is better for one person to die than for all the people to die. If this knife is used today, there will be no problems with Shanyang County's officialdom for at least thirty years.

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    "Eighth Battalion, chopsticks overturned!"

    "You are lucky. If you are not greedy too much, I will give you fifty lashes and drive you out of the camp. You will never use it again!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and Dian Wei led another 'unlucky guy' out, facing Dian Wei Wu.  Ten lashes, you will have to shed your skin even if you don¡¯t die!

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    "Twelfth Battalion, chopsticks fell to the ground!"

    "Behead!"

    As a result of an inspection, of the thirty scribes, five were killed after their chopsticks fell to the ground; eight were tilted and received a whipping, but two did not survive, and the rest were thrown out of the camp to fend for themselves.  Went; in the end, there were seventeen qualified ones left. Regardless of their ability, these people are definitely top-notch upright officials!

    "Haha! Congratulations to everyone, you are not only knowledgeable but also incorruptible. When you take charge of the government in the future, you will definitely benefit the people and become famous in history!" Xiao Yi came to the seventeen people with a big smile, nodded with satisfaction, and clasped his fists  Congratulations were given.

    "Thank you, Lord Prefect!" Seventeen people returned the gift respectfully. They had just walked around the gate of hell, and the soles of their feet were feeling cold. As for Xiao Yi, he was the seducer in their eyes!

    "With punishment there must be reward! Come here, Shangguan Seal!" With a wave of Xiao Yi's big hand, a row of soldiers came up carrying seventeen county magistrate seals. This is the reward for those who pass the test!

    "From now on, you will be the county magistrates of various places in Shanyang County. Remember to govern carefully, care for the people, and be a good official who is 'as clear as water and as clear as a mirror'. Don't worry, everyone, as long as you govern well, you will have a bright future.  of!"

    "Nuo!" Holding the big seal and looking at the heads hanging outside the tent, the seventeen newly elected county magistrates had only one thought, heaven and hell. "May I ask, Lord Prefect, when will we take office?"

    "Soon!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
