When Yu Shaobao, Liu Taiyu and other disaster relief officials and soldiers who followed later spent a month rushing to the disaster area, the large-scale peasant uprising and the ravages of refugees in the disaster area had calmed down.
They only need to clean up the few people who have become bandits and carry out normal disaster relief.
And all this credit.
Of course, the credit must be attributed to Qu Jie.
The appearance of a million-foot-long white jade black turtle is enough to frighten most ordinary people. If it rains, it can give hope to the people who are unwilling to leave their homes. Explain the cause and effect, and point out that the deposed emperor is dead, which can even eliminate it. The resentment in the hearts of most people.
As for the last 100,000 tons of nutrients, Qu Jie used particle robots to distribute them to every victim very quickly and fairly, which was definitely enough for most victims to temporarily settle down and quietly wait for the court's disaster relief.
Unless the court's disaster relief money and food are delayed.
So when Shaobao and Liu Taiyu hurried over, they naturally took over a disaster area that was very easy to deal with. The only thing that made Yu Shaobao a little uncomfortable was that many people had no food in their hands before the disaster passed. , even though he had little money, he was still trying to spend money and effort to build the Zhenwu Temple.
Or at least invite a Xuanwu statue back.
But after he learned what had happened previously, and that the white jade black turtle who claimed to be the Zhenwu Emperor not only brought rain, but also gave him a hundred thousand tons of strange and full food, it was hard to say anything.
I can only remind you not to be too extravagant.
Ordinary sacrifices are fine, but people still have to rely on themselves.
What follows is of course full-scale disaster relief, along with strict investigation of corruption and illegal activities, large-scale land annexation, and a series of other things that will happen in disaster areas.
As for some things that are done out of necessity.
I can only turn a blind eye and ignore it.
At the same time, the most exciting thing in the capital was no longer the appearance of the four late emperors and the murder of the deposed emperor.
This is the hot topic of discussion for everyone.
It has long been transferred to the household department.
In the past month, the Household Department has really not been too lively. It can be said that it has been noisy and troubled almost every day.
Those officials who were transferred to the Ministry of Accounts worked hard to review all the past accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. It didn't matter if the accounts were burned. They could interrogate individual officials and conduct house searches. In addition, their own personnel in charge of the warehouses, although they could not He knows everything in his warehouse, but he still probably remembers it.
Recalling memories can basically restore everything.
The most important thing is that Emperor Jing'an is on their side.
After that, of course, they dug deeper and deeper, and uncovered more and more evidence. At present, they have not only basically recovered the gold and silver assets that disappeared after their home was ransacked, or at least figured out where they went, but also dug up several past few years. Years of corruption, and even the corruption problem during the late emperor's reign, if we don't dig deeper, the officials involved will basically die of old age, and it will be useless to dig out.
Emperor Jing'an stopped it in time.
It is estimated that they can dig out more information.
Of course, the process was not smooth. Previously, the Ministry of Accounts did not expect that Emperor Jing'an would be so ruthless, so they just set fire to the accounts that had been confiscated some time ago. The other accounts were done well at first, and they I don’t think I’ll dig into it in depth. This matter alone can be discussed for a long time, even until the end of the year.
So not all of them were destroyed.
By the time they realized what Emperor Jing'an wanted to do, it was already too late. Most of them were arrested and imprisoned. Although they used all their connections to set fire to the fire and destroy the remaining accounts, they had already suffered. How could Emperor Jing'an, who had suffered a loss, be unprepared and directly lure the snake out of the hole, catch the turtle in the urn, act as a thief and take away the dirty things, and even implicated many officials who had retired or died.
Previously worked in the household department.
Some people who were later transferred to other departments were also arrested.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that no one in the entire household department is clean from top to bottom, but it is not an exaggeration at all to say that 90% of the households are unclean.
It can be said to be modest.
Emperor Jing'an had always felt that although he ascended the throne in danger, he was still a little unjust, and he did not dare to let go of his hands when doing things.
Do what you want.
We can only turn a blind eye to some corruption issues, investigate them if they are raised, and ignore them if no one raises them.
But it is different now. Now he is an emperor recognized by the four former emperors. Although he himself knows that it is false, others do not know it. Therefore, no matter who comes now, they cannot deny that his throne is legitimate.
Therefore, when the evidence was solid, it was natural for him to carry out a large-scale purge of the Household Department. Ninety percent of the officials in the Household Department were captured, some were exiled, and some were confiscated and executed. It was not too implicated. At most, they were not allowed to follow up. Three generations of imperial examinations were held as punishment.
Afterwards, Emperor Jing'an seemed to have tasted the sweetness, or felt that this method was good. After finally using fresh blood and officials borrowed from other departments to refill the household department, he ordered the major departments to interlock with each other. It will take a month for a thorough investigation.
They also mixed some officials with minor crimes into it, asking them to perform meritorious service. As long as they can find out enough problems, they can be directly exonerated.
Prevent them from doing nothing, compromising and confusing each other.
Then, of course, many officials were confused. Some knew that once their crimes were found out, they would probably have their homes confiscated and executed, and they were even planning in private whether to kill Emperor Jing'an in order to save their own lives.
At this time, Qu Jie still expected Emperor Jing'an to promote her reputation for her and make herself the Zhenwu Emperor of this world. Naturally, she could not allow Emperor Jing'an to be poisoned or killed like this, so it was natural that she should protect him all the way. Looking at him and watching him helplessly, he carried out a comprehensive cleaning of the court.
After replacing with fresh blood.
Another drastic reform was carried out.
Even Qu Jie couldn't help but sigh. She had misjudged the wrong person at first. This guy really wasn't that he couldn't hold up the wall, but he had been assassinated because he felt that his claim to the throne was not legitimate, and then he was worried about tampering with too many people's interests. , did not dare to do what he wanted to do in a drastic way.
Until Qu Jie eliminated these two concerns of his.
Only then did he officially reveal his minions and ideas.
Although the overall reform still has certain limitations, it is much better than before. Qu Jie doesn't want to be so tired of running into modernization and starting the industrial revolution, so there is no one to guide him. He can only teach him. He honestly ensured the safety of Emperor Jing'an, and also appeared to help predict the time of major natural disasters across the country.
The rest is left to Emperor Jing'an and his ministers to fiddle with. They only have a gap in technology, but their IQs are not bad. As long as they focus on serving the people.
Qu Jie also helped predict natural disasters and the like.
Life will never get worse.
Within five years, the world had barely reached the standard of prosperity in ancient times. Ten years later, there was a slight trend of all nations coming to court, and the world was in good health.
And Qu Jie also completely replaced the original statue of Emperor Zhenwu because of her various achievements. Not only did most of the original Zhenwu and Xuanwu believers among the people convert to her and replace the statues with hers, even the Taoist sect specially revised the Taoist scriptures and included the scriptures. The contents, including but not limited to image names, and even the legend have been changed to Qu Jie.
The identity and background of Emperor Zhenwu.
He is also the son of Queen Shansheng of the original Pure Joy Country.
Changed to the daughter of Queen Shansheng of Jingle Kingdom.
Just... quite good at following trends!
Although Wan Quhou's family did not announce their relationship with Qu Jie to the outside world, they also received Qu Jie's protection and Emperor Jing'an's favor. They were given many opportunities to make contributions to their family. Liu Taiyu did not let down those opportunities, and basically completed them successfully, and then finally be promoted.
From Wanquhou, he was promoted to Duke of Anguo.
The Five Generations will not be demoted.
