PS: Thanks to book friend He Cheng for promising the reward.

"Have the officials who govern Yan'an Mansion been sent there?" Liu Heng asked.

Zhao Wudao: "Mr. Zhao has sent everyone there. In half a year at most, Yan'an Mansion will completely become part of the Tiger Flag."

"It's a pity that the autumn grains have already been planted. Otherwise, if we replace them with jade and wheat and dig more ditches, the people of Yan'an Prefecture will have a better life." Liu Heng said with emotion.

In the past two years, under the governance of the Tiger Character Banner, the famine situation in Datong has been much better. However, the situation in Shaanxi is more serious than the famine in Datong, Shanxi.

Moreover, Shaanxi has been experiencing severe drought, locust plagues, or earth dragons for many consecutive years, but the people have never had any tax reductions or exemptions. Instead, they have to pay more and more. The government is constantly pressing. Every winter, people starve to death and freeze to death. There are countless people.

Zhao Wu said: "Mr. Zhao has sent people to send food to Yan'an Mansion. As long as we survive this winter, life will be much easier in the coming year."

There is food in hand and there is no need to panic.

The Tiger Flag has opened up a large amount of farmland on the grassland. After several years of reclamation, it has now become mature land, and the yield has also increased.

Even if only one season of food is grown on the grassland, it will be enough to ensure the normal expenses of the Tiger Flag.

In order to ensure high grain yields, Huzi Banner has established an agriculture department to improve seeds and fertilizers, eliminate pests, and increase yields per mu.

There are local peasant associations that organize farmers, soldiers and people to dig ditches and build waterwheels to ensure water supply for the land in each village.

"Give this arranger to Mr. Zhao." Liu Heng took out an official document from the table and handed it to Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu took the official document and turned around to leave the room.

At this moment, Liu Heng said again: "By the way, I would like to remind Mr. Zhao that there must be zero tolerance for corrupt officials, and we must not let a mouse drop spoil a pot of soup."

"Yes." Zhao Wu responded and walked out of the room again.

Although he didn't read the contents of the official document, from what he just said, he knew that the official document in his hand must be related to an official of Tiger Character Banner receiving benefits that he should not have received.

When the tiger-character flag is big, there are always some people who can't control their own hands. This is the third official document sent through his hands this year to punish corrupt officials.

Naturally, Zhao Wu did not need to make a trip in person to deliver official documents.

He handed the official document to an attendant in the attendant team, who sent it to the former governor's office in Datong Town.

The governor's office in Datong now hangs a plaque with the title of chief envoy to the office. Many people even think that Liu Heng will not set up the position of governor. Chief envoy is the highest local official position.

Zhao Yutu worked in the governor's office, but in name he had the title of chief envoy.

In addition to him, there is also a Sentencing and Inspector Si Yamen in Datong Town. This Yamen is in charge of judicial punishment and prisons. It is this Yamen that currently governs the local laws of the Tiger-Character Banner after some modifications based on the Ming Law. implemented locally.

"To report to the vassal, the lord sent someone to deliver the official document." An official from the Chief Envoy's Yamen came in to report.

At the same time, a person walked in outside the house.

"I've seen the feudal lord." After entering the room, the attendant took the lead in bowing to Zhao Yutu.

Zhao Yutuxu raised his right hand and said, "No need to be polite, just hand over the official document!"

The officer took the official document from the attendant, turned around, walked to the desk in the room, and handed the official document to Zhao Yutu with both hands.

Zhao Yutu took the official document and read it over.

After he read the contents, he slammed his right hand on the table and said angrily: "These damn moths have been dealt with twice, and yet there are still people who dare to risk the world's disdain and reach out randomly. "

Especially after seeing the words "severe punishment" at the end of the official document, he could feel the anger coming from Liu Heng.

"After the things have been delivered, I will take my leave first." The attendant said goodbye.

Zhao Yutu said to the officer in the room: "Go and see him off."

After the people saw him off, Zhao Yutu picked up the official document on the table again and read it.

The official document only lists the charges of some people, but does not mark the evidence of these people's crimes.

However, he knew that the Intelligence Bureau specializes in collecting evidence of the crimes of Tiger Flag officials. Since Liu Heng sent him the official document, it means that the Intelligence Bureau has obtained enough evidence.

What he has to do is arrest people, and then interrogate and convict these corrupt officials through sentencing and prosecution.

The chief envoy Si Yamen dealt with corrupt officials very quickly.

After receiving the official document, Zhao Yutu immediately sent people to arrest the corrupt officials and handed them over to Si Yamen, the prosecutor's office for punishment.

The penalties for corruption gains are even more severe.

Not only must all the income gained from corruption be recovered, but financial penalties must also be imposed. If the corrupt official cannot repay the money owed, his wife, son, and daughter will repay it together until it is fully repaid.

During this period, descendants were not allowed to serve as officials within three generations.

Under the Tiger Banner, once a corrupt official is found out, three generations of his family will be implicated.

The Ming Dynasty court set its sights on Liaodong, and its target became the slave thieves after the death of the old slave, giving the Tiger Character Banner an opportunity to develop rapidly.

It only took a month for the entire Xi'an Prefecture to fall into the hands of Hu Ziqi.

The rebel general Wang Er was captured, and Huang Hu escaped again and completely lost his trace.

At this point, Shaanxi fell into complete chaos. Rebels appeared in Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, and Gongchang Prefecture, and uprisings were ignited everywhere.

Except for Ningxia Wei and Shanxi Xingdusi, other places in Shaanxi were completely in chaos. Only Hanzhong Prefecture, next to Huguang and Sichuan, has not seen large-scale civil uprisings for the time being.

With such a chaotic situation in Shaanxi, local officials were unable to suppress it and could only seek help from the court while busy quelling civil unrest.

The 800-mile rush was sent from various prefectures in Shaanxi. The postmen who delivered the message did not dare to go through Yan'an and Xi'an, let alone pass through Shanxi. They could only take a detour through Henan to send the news to the capital.

After several horses were killed, the news finally reached the capital.

"It's over."

The cabinet received the 800-mile express letter from Shaanxi, and Huang Liji slumped in his seat dejectedly.

"It's better to seize the time to meet the saint." Shi Minlai said from the side.

Huang Liji stood up from his seat, picked up his black gauze hat and brought it to his head, and said in a dejected tone: "Let's go to see the saint together."

Such a big thing happened in Shaanxi, and it was impossible for the cabinet to keep it a secret.

Shi Minlai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu and several cabinet ministers went with Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, to the Qianqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit.

When several people walked outside the Qianqing Palace, they happened to see a small yellow door coming out of the Qianqing Palace inside.

"The pavilion elders have arrived just in time. Your Majesty is anxious to see you. Come in quickly!" When Xiao Huangmen saw Huang Liji and others, he immediately came over to greet them.

Huang Liji, who was walking in front, said with a heavy face: "Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way. I will go in to meet the saint soon."
