Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

The tragedy at the Guide Saltworks shocked the entire Baoan County.

Overnight, more than 170 people, including the main stewards of the salt field, including Xu Maocai and his wife, were killed in the salt field.

Hou Yao was shocked by the tragic situation in the salt farm, especially the person in charge, Xu Maocai, who was having sex with his wife before his death.

It should have been a joyful and beautiful thing, but his face when he died was hideous and terrifying, as if he had experienced something extremely terrible.

But the strange thing is that there was only one wound on his body, and it was a fatal blow. This way of death should be a quick and comfortable death.

Just like her wife, she looked relaxed and enjoying herself, obviously not experiencing any pain before her death.

Only Xu Maocai had a ferocious look on his face, which seemed incompatible with the scene during his lifetime.

The experts who handled the case in the yamen all wondered whether the murderer would use some secret punishment on Xu Maocai.

An autopsy may reveal clues about the murderer.

Hou Yao didn't know what was going on with Xu Maocai's expression, but he knew very well what happened to his death, but this case obviously couldn't be solved.

In order to give the public an explanation, they could only accept the statement of the masters of solving the case and let them conduct an autopsy on Xu Maocai's body.

Of course, as expected, there were no clues. Xu Maocai also used his life to leave an ancient mystery for Baoxian County.

Hou Yao also used this major case to close the Guide Saltworks.

At the same time, it was announced that the three major industries of pornography, gambling, and cigarettes are prohibited in Baoan County.

Huang does not refer to brothels, but brothels, where women can earn huge amounts of money simply by selling their bodies. Money comes too easily, which is not conducive to the development of the industry.

Women's value orientation often determines the development direction of a local folk custom.

The rise and fall of a nation depends on men, but the survival of a nation depends on women. If you want to be strong, you must liberate women.

Throughout the entire history of China, every era of prosperity was an era of extremely high status for women.

For example, in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it goes without saying the role of women. Emperor Wu even defeated Korea, which Emperor Taizong did not conquer.

In the powerful Western Han Dynasty, women could even be officials. Without Wei Zifu's care, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would not have become famous generals in ancient times.

There is a saying: A wise woman makes the family wise; a strong woman makes the family strong;

There is also a saying: marrying the wrong man will ruin your life.Marry the wrong wife and ruin three generations.

These all show the importance of women to the family, the family, and even the nation.

Hou Yao heard a warning in his previous life: To destroy a nation, you must first destroy their women.

He does not yet have the strength to make any changes to the entire nation, but he must at least take certain precautions for the future of Bao'an County.

As his layout is gradually completed, the living standard of Baoan County is gradually rising.

If the offline porn industry is allowed to develop, there will definitely be many people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Or women who don’t want to work hard and want to make quick money will take the shortcut of selling their bodies to make money.

Once this trend takes shape, it will have a huge impact on the future development of real industries in Baoan County.

Now is an era of labor shortage. If women are exchanging their bodies for money, who will fill the labor gap in the real industry?

In this day and age, there are so many places where the male workforce can be used.

After Hou Yao's administrative order was issued, the county was in mourning, and many squires in the county came to the county government to plead for mercy.

However, Hou Yao avoided them all. If anyone dared to cause trouble, he would be imprisoned decisively.

Let the various men in prison teach these squires how to be good people.

……

Hou Yao was so busy that he went out at the fifth watch and did not return to the Yamen before the second watch.

I spent the whole day running back and forth between the cement factory and the construction site of the newly planned road section.

July is the hottest time in Guangdong. In just half a month, he lost weight, but he also became much more energetic.

On the section from Nantou City to Dasha River, Hou Yao and a group of squires who contracted the highway project were giving instructions.

Zhou Tiesheng hurried over with two government servants:

"Sir, King Tan invites you to go to the hotel."

He Jinghui just wanted to give him a warning at the beginning, so he wouldn't be too harsh.

When the mental pressure cannot be sustained, a good sleep will automatically relieve it.

When he took the princess to chase Yu Xiuer that day, he wanted to take a detour, but he couldn't hold on and fainted on the way.

After that, the mental pressure was relieved, and after two days of rest, I started working normally.

Hou Yao asked the squires to go to work first, and then pulled Zhou Tiesheng aside:

"Going to King Tao's Hotel? Where are my wife and princess?"

Zhou Tiesheng thought for a while:

"They seem to have gone out for an outing in the morning. Anyway, I didn't see them when I came out just now."

"Okay, let's go back right away. By the way, have you ridden your horse yet?"

"The yamen only has a few horses. I'm just going to deliver a message. Why do I need to ride horses?"

"My senior brother and I both rode out, so you can walk slowly by yourself. We'll ride back first."

Hou Yao and Chen Junnan rode back at lightning speed on their fast horses.

Zhou Tiesheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and could only follow slowly.

At the door of King Xian's hotel, Hou Yao looked at the door to make sure that Ji Wenjun was not inside before walking over.

The guards at the door all recognized them, so there was no one to stop them.

Ji Qizhen had been waiting for him in the hall for a long time, and was slightly surprised when he saw Hou Yao's appearance at this time:

"How long has it been since we last met? Why are you so tanned?"

"Haha, there are too many construction sites building cement roads recently. They are all doing it for the first time and lack experience. You have to watch them."

"Yes, it takes a spirit like yours to be able to cultivate on this path. By the way, I have some good news for you.

The case of Du Hui'en, the deputy director of Guangzhou Prefecture, was reported, and the Feiyu Guards had already gone to Guangzhou Prefecture to arrest him. "

"Oh, is that Renren who impeached me? What did he commit?"

"Li Jingfeng raided the Chen family's granary at night and stole more than seven thousand tons of rice.

In order to make up for their losses, the Chen family, together with their fellow acquaintance Du Huien, falsely reported that 20 grains stored in Shifucheng had been stolen.

Among them, 9 shi was due to the grain deficit of Guangzhou Prefecture over the years, and more than [-] shi were moved by the Chen family into their own private warehouse. "

Hou Yao was shocked. With 100 kilograms of rice and more than [-] tons of grain, the Chen family was too courageous, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"The Chen family is too courageous. The great rat of the country will not end well."

"Yes, Chen Tonghe of the Chen Jiayi clan is over. He is from Wuxuehai, and Wuxuehai will definitely hate you to death."

"Hate me? What does this have to do with me?"

"If it weren't for the battle report you sent for Li Kangsheng, they might have succeeded."

Hou Yao is really confused and confused under the tree:

"What does the battle report I sent have to do with it?"

Ji Qizhen smiled and said:

"Nowadays, the battle reports sent by warriors usually like to exaggerate the enemy's strength. If it is the battle report sent by Li Kangsheng,

It is common for the Wugan bandit army to be said to be 5 people. If [-] enemy troops attacked Guangzhou Prefecture,

The loss of 20 stones of food and grass seems not that big, but you honestly only wrote about five thousand people.

With 20 stones of food and grass, even five thousand people's luck cannot be transported. Isn't this the most obvious loophole?

After sending people to investigate, the truth was easily found out, not to mention that Li Jingshan was originally an official recommended by the Chen family to the Ministry of Personnel.

The Chen family's appetite is too big this time. What else can they do if they don't die?

You have done a great job in completely eradicating this group of daring scum of the country. "

Hou Yao was simply dumbfounded. The Chen family was so unlucky, but Ming Hongbo from the Ming family was so virtuous.

They all played themselves to death, and they even played harder, killing the whole family.

But the Chen family does not deserve sympathy.

Dare to steal the life-saving food of the people of the house, which is really more hateful than the aliens.

Hou Yao didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, so he said:

"Isn't it just that the prince wanted to tell the subordinate about this?"

Ji Qizhen laughed and said:

"Of course not. I am going back to Beijing. The Dongguan Saltworks can be left to you to handle.

In addition to saying goodbye, I asked you to come here to introduce someone to you. "

As he spoke, he called out to the door:

"Isn't Liu Xinwu here yet?"

A voice outside said loudly:

"Back to Your Highness, I have been waiting outside for a long time."

"Come in."

At this time, a dark, short, fat, ball-like little old man walked in and said with a humble face:

"I humbly bow to His Highness, King Xi."

Ji Qizhen waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Okay, stop knocking. Get up and see the magistrate. He has the final say on where the salt field will go from now on.

In addition, you should cooperate well with Hou Zhixian, work together, and don't hit your little Jiujiu. "

Liu Xinwu nodded and bowed:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely listen to Magistrate Hou."

After saying that, he also bowed to Hou Yao in a subordinate's standard, which frightened Hou Yao.

His top county magistrates are only from the sixth rank, and have not yet broken away from the category of grassroots officials.

Liu Xinwu, on the other hand, is a third-rank official, a proper local official, and can be called an important minister even in the court.

However, due to eating too much in the morning and Baoan’s special situation,

The garrison system is known as the foundation of the founding of the Xia Dynasty. In other places, it may be possible to form an honor guard.

In Bao'an County, there is not even an honor guard, and the six major salt fields have reached a limit in squeezing the county's labor force.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Bao'an County already had three major salt fields: Dongguan, Guanfu, and Guide.

The military households of the Tuntian Guards were the first batch of laborers to join the salt fields. Naturally, the commander of the Tunmen Guards Station had no soldiers available.

It is precisely because of this that the Pengcheng Household Office appeared, which was actually to supplement the shortage of Tuen Mun guards.

It's just that Guan Yan has always been relatively restrained, far less crazy than Li Kangsheng and others later.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, you are doing this to disgrace your subordinates. You can't do it, you can't do it."

Liu Xinwu bent down and smiled:

“It makes, makes, Master Hou Jieyuan is born, and with His Highness’s help, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.

It is a great achievement for an old martial artist to meet a young and talented person like you. "

This sounds a bit harsh, but it is actually the truth. The commander of the guard station is basically a sinecure.

And based on the situation in Bao'an County, the commander is actually a scapegoat. As long as the superiors order an inventory of the guard station, he will be executed without mercy.

When he was sent to Bao'an County, he was actually killed by his political enemies.

Thanks to his cleverness and his low profile after coming to Bao'an County, he was protected by Ji Qizhen.

Otherwise he would have died a few years ago.

Ji Qizhen didn't bother to look at their politeness and said:

"Okay, we are all our own people. Just take care of them. I will leave the next day and go to Sihai Class for a meal of practice wine tomorrow."
