Chapter 611 Cleaning up the portal
In Chen County, when Zhang Ji returned to the city with a group of personal guards, someone naturally notified Bai Jin immediately. Bai Jin, who was originally patrolling the city, hurriedly came to the county government office wearing light white armor. He took off his helmet to reveal his long white hair that was still tied up to his waist, and frowned slightly.

"Is there any urgent military situation?"

Bai Jin's blood-red eyes looked at Zhang Ji, and for some reason she felt her heartbeat speed up.

Those black eyes were full of murderous intent, as if she was about to be swallowed up by a sea of ​​blood.

"Lu Chen."

Zhang Ji did not answer Bai Jin's question immediately, but looked at Lu Chen who was guarding the door. Lu Chen, who was eight and a half feet tall, felt cold all over his body the moment he was caught by Zhang Ji's gaze.

"The general is here!"

"Cooperate with the trap and drive out all the people in the county government except the guards camp. No one is allowed to be left, not even a bird or a dog."

It's not that Zhang Ji was exaggerating. He was not even allowed to keep a bird or a dog. But if you think about it carefully, hundreds of birds have the ability to control birds. Who knows if there are other ways to control dogs in this world?

Especially Chu State, a country that gave birth to many "witches" after integrating Baiyue civilization, it would not be surprising if there are some such strange people.

"The last general takes command!"

After Lu Chen closed the door of the county government hall, he quickly went to notify the guard camp.

It wasn't until Zhang Ji sensed that Lu Chen had left a certain distance that he slowly looked at Bai Jin and said four words calmly: "I want to kill someone."

Bai Jin's eyes trembled slightly as she continued to listen to Zhang Ji's words.

"Many, many people are going to die in this city."

Zhang Ji handed the memorial that Shao Sao had presented to Bai Jin. It didn't take long for Bai Jin to finish reading it, and looked at Zhang Ji with a... weird look.

In fact, it is a tacit truth among the world that nobles and local officials privately raise taxes, embezzle the subsidies provided by temples to the people, and even embezzle the pensions of the families of fallen soldiers.

If the embezzlement is less, the people will praise the king as a benevolent king and the local officials as good officials. Even the Bai family of Xinzheng, where Bai Jin was born, made his fortune by drinking the blood of soldiers, and then had the financial resources to support Bai Jin to set out as a woman. battlefield.

In order to train an elite army that can be used as a boost, Bai Jin changed the practice of his ancestors and drank the blood of soldiers. He not only paid for the military pay and subsidies promised by the court, but also paid them out in full after layers of deductions. , and also required that it should be distributed directly to every soldier without passing through the hands of any officers, and additional rewards should be given to those who had made military exploits, so that a white-armored army could be trained that made Bai Jin known as the "Blood-clothed Marquis".

Just a sufficient salary can boost the morale of the entire army. If you give some additional rewards, which are insignificant compared to the rewards Bai Jin received, you can completely make the soldiers under your command return to their hearts, train like crazy, and die for Bai Jin. .

In doing so, Bai Jin also learned from Qin's reforms. She could not change the entire South Korea, she could only change herself and her army.

But just because he did not continue to collude with other nobles and local officials, Bai Jin was already hostile to the Korean officials and nobles. So much so that Bai Jin got tired of fighting these insects, so he simply moved to the fiefdom of Nanyang, built the Blood Clothes Castle, and studied the martial arts.

But when Shang Yang carried out his reform, he raised the butcher knife directly against the old Qin nobles in Guanzhong. It can be imagined how much those nobles hated Shang Yang, and the nobles of other countries were completely hostile to Qin because of this.

Are they really against Qin because they are patriotic?

"What you are going to do...will ruin your reputation."

Bai Jin had already imagined how Zhang Ji would be condemned and besieged after doing this. I am afraid that few nobles in the world would not be hostile to Zhang Ji.

After all, Shang Yang only legally prohibited these activities of exploiting the people and protected the interests of the lower class people with severe punishments to the greatest extent. However, it is still unclear whether the nobles were really punished according to Qin law.

But Zhang Ji wanted to raise his butcher knife to the nobles!

Although he was only a noble from the Chu region, but the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad, who knew Zhang Ji would not turn his butcher knife to another place. "It doesn't matter."

There were some things that Zhang Ji didn't tell Bai Jin.

There would have been a battle between him and the nobles in the world.

The demise of the Qin State was due to a series of tricks by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. The most fundamental reason was that Ying Zheng was too kind!
Perhaps he was indulging in the pride of dominating the world, or perhaps the future emperor turned his attention to the north and west, ignoring the hidden dangers between his elbows and armpits like darkness under the lamp.

The mausoleum system... is indeed a good method, but it is far from the time to offend the nobles of the world.

"The White Armored Army lends it to me."

Zhang Ji didn't say anything else, and transferred the White Armor Army originally stationed outside the city back to the city. He announced to the outside world that he planned to organize an attack on the Chu army's food road, and then summoned Wu Chen, Lu Chen, Yong Chi, Wang Ling, and Zhou Chang, Fan Kuai, Shao Sao and Cai Ci.

In the county government office, Zhang Jiping dismissed the rest of the people, including Yong Chi, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang and Fan Kuai, leaving only the other four people who were originally from Chen County.

"Wu Chen, Lu Chen, Shao Sao, Cai Ci."

Zhang Ji walked towards the four of them step by step, his eyes so calm that it was uncomfortable.

In particular, after Shao Sao entered the city, he informed the other three people who were also from Chen County about the specific situation. It would not be a good thing for Zhang Ji to summon the four of them alone.

"The four of you have pretty clean butts, and you didn't disappoint me."

Wu Chen's family has been in the army for generations, but his great-grandfather and grandfather died young, so Wu Chen's father was no longer allowed to join the army. The family that lost power was in decline for a while, but it also had little opportunity to drink the blood of soldiers and embezzle The benefits that the people deserve.

Lu Chen's family was mainly engaged in business. They purchased a lot of land and took in many tenants. At most, they used some small tricks in doing business, and the treatment of the tenants was fairly fair.

Both Shao Sao and Cai Ci wanted to be civil servants. Their families also had Confucian backgrounds, so they focused on farming and studying. There were also few criminals in the family, and Cai Ci often supported them. The people in Chen County are also praised by the people as a virtuous person.

However, when a family becomes large, there will always be people who harbor evil and corrupt elements.

Just like a towering tree, among the roots hidden under the soil, there must be a few rotten roots.

Zhang Ji handed the four lists to the four people respectively, and the moment they took the lists, the four of them involuntarily clenched the lists in their hands, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

It's not that they were shocked by the names on this list and the things these people had done. Who from a noble or wealthy family really didn't know some of the evil things that the children of the family had done outside?

They were shocked that Zhang Ji actually handed over the list to them, and his meaning was self-evident.

"Clean up the family by yourself, then as long as you abide by the law in the future, the family of the four of you will forget the past."

Zhang Ji's tone was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be strong at all. He left the choice to the four people.

But after following Zhang Ji for more than a year, they still couldn't hear the chill in Zhang Ji's voice.

Although there is no word "otherwise", the guards surrounding the door, and Zhang Ji who can kill them with a stick in front of him, is not so much a suggestion as it is forcing them to do what Zhang Ji thinks. the right choice.

"I will obey your Majesty's orders!"

Without hesitation, the four of them looked at each other and "happily" accepted the order.
