What the court bosses don't know is that not only the officials of Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture are unable to take office, but even the officials who have taken office in Jeju have also been sidelined.
The new governor of Jeju was full of confidence when he took office. Not only was he prepared to get back the money he spent to buy an official position, he was also prepared to make a fortune and earn more wealth than he could spend in a few lifetimes.
Unexpectedly, it was only after he took office that he realized that Jeju was nominally in the hands of the imperial court, but in fact it was still under the control of the "Onozawa bandits".
The officials sent by the state magistrates, magistrates, and courts at all levels were all just decorations, and orders could not leave the state government at all.
Not to mention making money, even the expenses of his own yamen have to be paid out of his own pocket.
Not a penny of benefit was gained, but a huge amount was spent.
There is no way, those unscrupulous and profiteers sell extremely expensive things to the yamen.
The mutton costing two hundred cents per catty was forced to be sold for one tael per catty.
The white noodles costing one tael of silver and one stone were sold to them for five taels of silver and one stone.
In short, as long as officials sent by the imperial court buy things, the price is five times the normal market price!
What, can I buy it somewhere else?
The officials are not stupid. They have tried it a long time ago, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I don’t know how those profiteers got the news. Even if the purchasing personnel were disguised as civilians, the prices were still so high!
Not only the state capital, but also the various counties in Jeju.
As long as you are an official appointed by the imperial court, the cost of living is simply terrifyingly high!
Fortunately, apart from the difficulty of life, their personal safety is still guaranteed.
As long as they don't go out for a walk, usually no one will hurt them.
At first, those officials thought they were new here and were rejected by the local officials. They wanted to come here for a while and get better after they became familiar with it.
Who knew, the wait would last for several months.
A few months have passed, and instead of getting better, the situation has gotten worse.
Things that originally cost five times the market price actually increased to ten times.
Can you believe that buying a pound of mutton costs two taels of silver?
Straight bitch, you can't survive this day!
All the court officials in Jeju were so hungry that their eyes turned blue. Not only were they extremely expensive to buy, but they had been in office for several months and they hadn’t even seen a single tael of silver in salary!
What's even more disgusting is that when it's time to pay taxes, local officials who usually don't even see each other will suddenly appear and hold official documents for them to sign and seal.
These local officials are all Ohnozawa bandits seeking peace. They are all fierce and vicious. If they don't agree to their demands, they will slap them in the face!
These official documents are very simple. They are nothing more than complaining to the court, saying that Jeju has just suffered a military disaster, and asking the court to exempt taxes.
What’s even more abominable is that not only are they exempted from taxes, but they are also required to receive relief from the court, otherwise the people may cause rebellion!
This is obviously a threat to the court!
As bad as those court bosses are, if local officials like me dare to threaten them, they will definitely kill them!
It's a pity that they, the officials sent by the imperial court, are completely helpless. Even if they don't sign or seal, it doesn't matter, they will stamp it themselves.
Later, the official seals of these imperial officials were no longer in their hands, they were taken away and used at will!
Just when Jeju officials were dying, the imperial court also stopped recruiting the Dongping Army and the Red Scarf Army.
There was no way, the war in Jiangnan was still far from over, and the imperial court could not allocate troops to quell the rebellions in Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, so it could only adopt a soft policy first. After the banditry in Jiangnan was solved, it would not be too late to free up its hands to deal with them.
Otherwise, what can we do? We can't let Dongping Mansion and Jinan Mansion remain in the hands of thieves, right?
Similar to Jeju's recruitment policy, the imperial court left the positions of military supervisor of Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture to the rebels.
A group of officials such as prefects and general magistrates were sent.
As for Yun Chao's Dongping Prefecture Military Supervisor and Sun County Magistrate Dongping Prefecture's general judge, they were immediately dismissed by the court. You can still be your little county magistrates.
Yun Chao was mentally prepared and was not angry at all.
To this day, how can he still like a small military supervisor?
However, Magistrate Sun cannot.
After receiving the official appointment and dismissal document from the imperial court, County Magistrate Sun almost died of anger.
"Yun Er, look at the good things you have done! I have long said that I would take up the post in Dongping Mansion, but you insisted on delaying it. It's okay now, our official positions are all gone!"
"Old Sun, how old are you? You still can't keep your composure at all. If you really can't do it, go to Dongping Mansion to relax and see what the situation of the court officials who have just taken office is like."
"what's the situation?"
Magistrate Sun had been dealing with Yun Chao for so long, and one look at the boy's expression told him that there must be something wrong.
"Yun Er, don't do anything stupid. Are you going to assassinate those officials?"
Yun Chao glanced at Magistrate Sun with contempt: "Old Sun, Old Sun, you underestimate me, Yun Chao. Since I have convinced the bandits entrenched in Dongping Mansion to recruit troops, I will not touch the officials of the imperial court."
Magistrate Sun's eyes almost rolled out of his head.
Just because you persuaded the bandits in Dongping Prefecture to recruit people, you are the biggest bandit leader in Dongping Prefecture, okay?
You are not only the biggest bandit leader in Dongping Prefecture, but also in Jeju and Jinan Prefecture!
Magistrate Sun really didn't believe in evil. Yun Chao asked him to go to Dongping Mansion to have a look, and he actually went.
As a result, after a few days of going there, I came back frustrated.
In Qingyang County, although his power was eclipsed by the Yun Family Army, he could still do some things.
As long as it does not violate the principles of the Yun Family Army, Magistrate Sun can still perform many official duties.
After arriving at Dongping Mansion, Magistrate Sun realized what it means to be unable to respond to the sky and the earth.
Seeing that the officials in Dongping Prefecture had to pay for their meals out of their own pockets, and all the things they bought were more than ten times the market price, Magistrate Sun almost collapsed!
It's not that Magistrate Sun sympathized with them, it's that Magistrate Sun was afraid.
Fortunately, I gave birth to a precious daughter. Although it is a bit unclear following Yun Er now, my safety is still guaranteed.
If I hadn't stood on the same front as Yun Er, I really can't imagine what it would be like now.
Where have all the county magistrates and county magistrates from Pingshan County, Changshen County, and other counties gone?
Magistrate Sun was not stupid. He only dared to think in his heart, but did not dare to ask.
Not only did he not ask Yunchao, he didn't even inquire in private.
After this period of experience, Magistrate Sun has also grown up and is much better than when Yun Chao first crossed over. He understands that the more he knows, the more dangerous he is.
However, Magistrate Sun had just finished his psychological preparation and was ready to continue to shine in the position of magistrate of Qingyang County, when the new appointment from the court arrived.
In view of Magistrate Sun's outstanding performance, the court decided to appoint him to a county in Jeju as a magistrate, and let the county magistrate from Jeju go to Qingyang County to take over Magistrate Sun's position!
Not only County Magistrate Sun, but also Yun Chao!
