Chapter 223: Boiled Frog in Warm Water


Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been five years since Xiong Yan became the county commander of Hongtao.Just last month, an envoy from the imperial court came to investigate, collect all kinds of information, and compare it with five years ago.Finally, looking at the gas number of Hongtao County, it has increased several times compared with five years ago.All of a sudden, Xiong Yan got an excellent evaluation.Originally, when the imperial court sent Xiong Yan to reason, it was prepared to be driven away by the family for seven or eight county commanders in a row.However, what I didn't expect was that Xiong Yan was so capable.All of a sudden, the provincial officials remembered the name again.At this time, Xiong Yan's second term has just begun.As is customary, it's time to go big.When he was in the first term, he understood the situation, united his friends, and behaved in a low-key manner.And when he is in the second term, it is time to let go and make political achievements."

In the past five years, Your Highness, you have often taken officials to inspect the entire Hongtao County, and in the process, you have eliminated more than a dozen officials."

In the past five years, Your Highness, you have recruited a large number of tax collectors, who are responsible for calculating taxes and checking taxes, and the taxes of the entire county have also been rising.""

A lot of illegal businesses don't exist anymore.A large number of gray and black interests have become the court's.At the same time, we have gained a lot in the process. ”And now, the Lin family's influence on Hongtao County has been reduced to a minimum.In the entire Hongtao County, 16 townships, and 300 villages, there is not a single official who is a member of the Lin family at this moment. ”"As for the remaining positions, His Royal Highness has mastered forty percent, and the families, Haoqiang, and sects have mastered the remaining sixty percent.""

But the key positions are basically our people.Coupled with the righteousness of the imperial court and the prestige that His Royal Highness has accumulated in the past few years, it can be said that he has mastered Hongtao County. ”"In addition......" listened carefully to the introduction of oak flowers, Xiong Yan sometimes thought carefully, sometimes nodded, very serious.After a moment, Xiong Yan opened his eyes, revealing a sense of madness."

Now, I am in my second term.It's also time to kick off that plan. ”"Your Highness, could this be a bit too hasty, why don't you wait?

Anyway, the current merit is already enough for Your Highness to continue to be promoted and directly serve as the Taishou. ”Oak reminded."

Is the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry?

I'm really not afraid, at this moment, after all, it is not the time when I first came here five years ago.At that time, in the hearts of the people of Hongtao County, the biggest and most powerful was not the imperial court, but the Lin family. ”"But at this moment, with a large number of welfare subsidies and grace and power, in the hearts of the people of Hongtao County, what is the matter with the Lin family?"

Forgetfulness may be the nature of the people, or it may be the nature of human beings.For five years, the Lin family has been a low-key person and a low-key person in Hongtao County, and with Xiong Yan's little means, the influence is really not as good as before."

What if, I mean, what if the Lin family doesn't rebel no matter what?"

Oak reminded suddenly.Actually, what she wants to say is that it is too normal for the family to do some illegal things in private.So far, the Lin family is just a little strange, but there is no direct evidence that the Lin family wants to rebel.What if this Lin family, from beginning to end, didn't think about rebellion, what if it was Your Highness, you forced the Lin family, who was originally loyal to the court, to rebel?

Hearing this, Xiong Yan instantly understood the hidden meaning of the oak flower.What if there is an error in the memory of a past life?

What if the Lin family is really a loyal minister?

Well, this possibility is too small, at least Xiong Yan doesn't think this possibility happens.But it's always good to be prepared and prepare a little in advance."

I am an official, representing the imperial court.If the Lin family does not rebel one day, it will have to be weakened by me one day.After five years, when I leave office, how much strength will I have left?

How much fame is left?

How much money is left?

”"If at this time, the Lin family still did not rebel, it means that the Lin family has no intention of rebelling at all.In that case, then I'll let them go. ”At the same time, deep down, he began to carefully recall all the history of the Lin family's rebellion.The Lin family rebelled, but was eventually suppressed by the imperial court.It's just that in the process, many people fled.In the end, the conclusion of the imperial court's analysis is: The Lin family is part of the Daomen, part of the demon clan, and part of Confucianism, and the chess pieces that are supported to disturb the Great Chu are the lives of a pioneer for the king!

…… A few days later, news came out from the county government that Xiong Yan was about to sort out the sea trade and re-establish the rules.At this moment, I hope that all parties will give advice.As soon as the news came out, many people seemed to have fried the pot, and they boiled up."

It's finally the day.""

This county gentleman is really courageous, he dares to directly attack the sea trade, this time many people should not be able to sit still.""

What a gut, erect daring!"

In anger, Lin Yang slapped the table fiercely, and with a snap, the entire log table was torn apart."

It can't go on like this!""

In the past few years, the family has taken retreat as advance, and the income on the surface is less than half of what it was five years ago, but all kinds of expenses have not changed, and even increased occasionally.""

The reason why the family can still survive depends on sea trade?

Doesn't it depend on the family's overseas connections?

I think this reorganization of the sea trade is coming at us!

”The sea trade in Lin Yang's mouth is actually smuggling in essence.It's definitely illegal, and it's not visible.But the interests involved in this piece are indeed not ordinary.The Lin family relied on overseas connections and smuggling, and made tens of millions of taels of income every year.Other families, to a greater or lesser extent, are involved in this.However, the one who has the greatest impact on this matter is the Lin family after all!"

Father, we can't wait any longer!

I look at this Xiong Yan, I have known about the family's major affairs for a long time.All these years have been used to confuse us, so that we will take it lightly and not guard against him!

”"Five years ago, if the family did something, at least Huazhou would definitely be in their hands, and maybe they could also implicate several surrounding states.It is not an exaggeration to say that the last sentence erodes several states, and Megatron is not an exaggeration. ”"But today, there are a few counties at most.Even Huazhou can't be mastered, and even Hongtao County, which is his own family, has problems.That's changed so much. ”"I suspect that these are all his schemes, and we have all fallen for them.What is it called?

Yes, to use an example of persuasion, this is boiling a frog in warm water.Our family is the boiled frog.If we don't do it, in the end, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to do it again!
