Chapter 1318 I rely on the imperial examination to get ahead and become a big official in the frontier (25)

During the entire trial process, ordinary people can visit the entire process. If there is a person who shelters the bribe, ordinary people can report it directly to the Governor's Office.

A year later, when the waterway was completed, the entire Kangzhou administration was cleared.

With the water in hand, Gu Mo began to want to eat again.

Based on the geographical and climate characteristics of the north and south, she planned to grow crops and was also aiming to commercialize crops.

She wanted to build the entire Kangzhou into a grain depot for the entire Yueguo country, which not only allowed the people in the north to have something to do, but also alleviated the shortage of food in the country, so that there would be no more people starving to death in the future.

Therefore, Gu Mo spent some time conducting research in the north and south, determined crops suitable for planting in various regions, and made full use of each piece of land.

Another year has passed, and the yield of various crops in Kangzhou is gratifying and the harvest is quite abundant. Many grain merchants have heard that Kangzhou has good quality and low prices, so they come from all over the country to collect grain.

Because Gu Mo adjusted the tax, the food grown by the people was left with a lot of surplus grain after paying the tax, leaving behind what the family had to eat, and the rest was sold to grain merchants, and there was also a surplus money.

The people of the north and south had a better life, and Gu Mo's reputation among the people increased, and he became a good and honest official praised by everyone in Kangzhou.

The people became rich, and the water bandits and robbers were very happy.

Because they can grab more things, they are more rampant than before. They rob wealthy businessmen and ordinary people, and they rob whatever they see, causing the people to go to the gate of Gu Mo's mansion to ask for their orders.

The Governor of Kangzhou before Gu Mo came died in the suppression of bandits.

It’s not that she is incompetent, but that the bandits in Kangzhou are indeed too tough.

Because of the complex terrain, they are nesting in the mountains, and there are one nest here and another. You can't fight here and there.

Even if you really beat them, you can't do anything to them.

Because they are made up of local people, if you beat them, they can't beat them, and immediately express your integrity.

But when you leave, you start forming gangs and gangs to fight and rob houses everywhere.

Gu Mo formulated a series of plans for these bandits and thieves.

The first thing she did was to conduct a census in Kangzhou, send officials to various townships to conduct a survey, and said that those who were in the homes of bandits and thieves immediately advised their families to be good and the government would not blame them.

If you don’t follow the good now, you will continue to burn, kill, loot, and fight against the government. In the future, the government will send people to suppress the bandits and kill them, and you will not be allowed to do so.

Even if you don’t die at the hands of the government, you will be a black household in the government.

And it will also affect five generations. Parents, brothers, children and grandchildren will not want to take the exam to become officials. The entire clan will be implicated because of you as a bandit.

Among those bandits, many of them are part-time bandits. When they see the government coming, they think that the situation at home is getting better and they can have enough food. Why do you think of robbers and implicate the family? It is better to go back and be a flat-headed commoner than to put your head on the belt.

So many bandits returned home and quickly registered their household registration, so as not to become illegal households in the future.

And it is not so easy for those professional bandits to persuade them to be good.

Gu Mo summoned the good bandits and formed a bandit suppression vanguard in the name of redeeming merits and atonement. He followed the army of ordinary people. Without saying a word, he took the bandits' nest in one fell swoop.

And Gu Mo always rushed to the front with a knife and slashed.

My brother Gu in society is ruthless and doesn’t talk much.

When the people behind saw that the governor was leading by themselves in order to give them a good life of peace, they were not ashamed to take advantage of the situation and were quite brave.

After doing this, the bandits in the north were almost wiped out soon.

And every time after suppressing bandits, Gu Mo would behead the captured bandits in public to serve as a warning.

Such a killing and killing scared many bandits in the south. They all knew that the new governor was not the soft persimmons they had before, but a ruthless character. They could not help but end up beheading and showing public displays. They surrendered first.

Gu Mo was so cruel to the bandits, and the gangsters in the country were also frightened. They dared not to provoke trouble everywhere, and they were so peaceful.

In less than three years, Gu Mozhi's various social problems in Kangzhou were almost the same.

And in this process, she took control of military and political power and took control of the overall power alone.

The more tolerant she is to the people, the more vicious she is to all kinds of criminals who disrupt social order.

Those local officials who had disobeyed her before, but now they dared not neglect her, for fear that she would die, for fear that Gu Mo would point his finger at them, and continue to kill him.

Fortunately, Gu Mo has not touched them, but the occasional look at them makes people frightened, which makes them more regular and cautious in their actions. They cooperate whatever Gu Mo said and never dares to look down on this honest person again.

Gu Mo wiped out the thieves and bandits, and not only Kangzhou, but also several states close to Kangzhou, finally lived a peaceful life.

Gu Mo became famous and even wrote letters from the governors of other prefectures and counties to ask her for advice on how to suppress bandits.

The Supreme Master who was far away in Fengjing heard that Gu Mo had managed Kangzhou in an orderly manner and was very pleased. He issued three imperial edicts in a row and commended Gu Mo in various ways to show his importance to Gu Mo.

In addition, Qiongnan, the exiled land, was also included in the territory of Kangzhou and handed over to Gu Mo to manage it.

Although it is just a place of exile where birds do not shit, as long as it is used properly, it can become a Feng Shui treasure land.

Gu Mo returned all the emperor's rewards, and only sent one letter, with earnest words, hoping that the emperor could pardon one person's sins.

This person is the man who took care of his original body several times when he was exiled. His original body was called Uncle Qin.

If it weren't for him, the original child would have died long ago in a place like Qiongnan where he eats people and does not spit bones.

The original body has always been very grateful for this, but the crime that Uncle Qin committed was a serious crime of killing his wife. I heard that it was his wife's master, a tyrannical and cruel master, who abused him in every way. He failed and killed the person.

In Yue Kingdom, killing his wife is a serious crime. Therefore, when the emperor pardoned the world, this crime was not in the case of general amnesty, so he has been exiled to this day.

Now that Gu Mo has made contributions, he can ask for his life and protect his lower body from being exiled. This can be regarded as helping the original body complete a thing that he can't let go of for a long time.

This was just a trivial matter for the emperor. She immediately issued an imperial edict, not only pardoning Uncle Qin, but also sent Uncle Qin to Kangzhou.

When Gu Mo saw Uncle Qin, he was much older than he had in his memory.

Gu Mo bowed to him, "I was fortunately with you when I was young, so I have today. I dare not forget this great kindness over the years. Uncle Qin will be my father in the future. I will support you until I grow old and send you my life."
