Ji Yan promoted his reform plans everywhere, and Sun Quan also heard about them. He saw the mystery of Ji Yan's plan at a glance.

Sun Quan was moved by the fact that he could defeat the aristocratic family, but due to the agreement, he would never be able to call Ji Yan himself.

Because in that case, reform became Sun Quan's idea. Although he didn't mind offending some wealthy families, he still valued his credibility.

The Jiangdong family paid a lot of money to exchange for these official positions. A large number of private soldiers of the Jiangdong family were summoned to the battlefield by Sun Quan.

In recent years, Sun Quan suffered heavy losses in Hefei, and most of the soldiers who lost their troops were private soldiers from major families.

However, in order to protect themselves, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong still retained considerable military power.

It is necessary for Sun Quan to further strengthen centralization and weaken the military power of the wealthy families without any trace, but it lacks an opportunity.

At that time, Zhang Wen was also a representative of the Jiangdong family, and the first to support Sun Quan.

He was able to win the favor of Sun Quan and elect Cao Shangshu because Zhang Wen particularly supported Sun Quan in terms of personnel system and advocated that "the capable are superior, and the mediocre are inferior."

Although Zhang Wen, as a representative of the Jiangdong family, knew the truth that too much was not enough. He also felt that the major families occupied too many official positions and too few people could do things. As the top leader of the Jiangdong Human Resources Department, he had to do something.

Ji Yan's promotion of his personnel reform plan naturally attracted the high attention of Zhang Wen, who is in charge of personnel.

He conducted in-depth and detailed research on Ji Yan's personnel reform plan and felt that it was very feasible.

As the election of Shangshu Cao, Zhang Wen once repeatedly recommended Ji Yan's plan to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan did not agree.

Zhang Wen himself agrees with Ji Yan's plan and is willing to recommend Ji Yan to Sun Quan.

But he didn't want to mess up the matter and dared not recommend it directly to Sun Quan, so as not to have no room for recovery after being rejected by Sun Quan.

He tentatively asked Sun Quan for instructions to change the official selection system several times. Although Sun Quan did not veto it, he deliberately changed the topic.

Ji Yan had not met Ma Su at that time, and his reform plan was still very immature, especially because it was too targeted, which could see his purpose at a glance, and it was easy to arouse opposition from the Jiangdong family. Naturally, Sun Quan was not able to express his opinions.

After Ji Yan's plan was improved, Sun Quan felt that Ji Yan's reform plan focused on anti-corruption and promoting integrity, and it was not obvious that it was targeted at the Jiangdong family.

Recently, the Jiangdong family has become more and more arrogant. Sun Quan felt that it was time to hit them, so he took the initiative to find Zhang Wen and ask Ji Yan about his personnel reform plan.

Zhang Wen understood it and immediately recommended Ji Yan.

After a long talk with Sun Quan with his reform plan, Sun Quan appointed Ji Yan as the election of Cao Lang, and asked him to implement his reform plan on a small scale first.

Ji Yan finally got the attention of Sun Quan, and his position went from being a resigned county official to being Cao Lang. It was a step forward, so he didn't dare to be careless.

He figured out Sun Quan's thoughts, asking him to make achievements first and then reuse them for them.

During his time at Cao Lang, Ji Yan was cautious and targeted those corrupt officials who were greedy and abused.

This was the official atmosphere at that time. Officials protected each other and used their power for personal gain. Many officials were blatant in favoritism and fraud, so it was not difficult to collect their evidence.

Not long after, Ji Yan collected evidence of corruption and abuse of power by several officials and reported it to Sun Quan.

Ji Yan has tried her best to select these famous officials and is very representative.

There are both children from aristocratic families, talented men from poor families, and heroes in the army.

Although Ji Yan was a little embarrassed to be corrupt officials from poor families, she was not sympathetic at all.

Fortunately, those poor children who are corrupt and abused the law have real talents and knowledge. Although they are greedy for money, their political achievements are good.

Moreover, they are superior in making money and do things without any leakage. The amount of stolen money found is very small, and it is not harmful to them.

The number of officials investigated and investigated by Jiyan was not large, and it seemed to be treated equally, as if it was a rectification of the administration, and there was no targeting.

When Sun Quan saw that Ji Yan understood what he meant, he was very happy and approved it all and asked Ji Yan to come up with a solution.

Ji Yan grasped Sun Quan's thoughts and things would be easier.

He also was very creative in punishing these officials with "economic problems".

Instead of following the usual stolen money, they did not simply recover the stolen money, but instead asked them to double the illegal office.

These stolen money are not a small amount, and it is not without a price to be taken out by major families willingly.

In fact, it is also a disguised sale of officials. These officials were not "dismissed from office and investigated and never hired", but were changed to "|Military Officers".

Sun Quan treated Ji Yan as a gun. After hitting the stick, it really hurt the aristocratic family. It is also necessary to give him a sweet date.

Therefore, Sun Quan issued an order: As long as these officials make military achievements, they can be restored to their posts.

Although this promise is not a cake, it is quite difficult to eat the cake into your mouth.

These corrupt officials do not know the martial arts and do not know the art of war. It is basically impossible for them to make military achievements by themselves!

At the beginning, these corrupt officials did bad things and were still a little guilty. They were very grateful for Ji Yan's lenient treatment. They felt that as long as they were still an official, they would have the opportunity to make a comeback.

As for the huge fine, although it hurts them, those aristocratic families are not short of this money, and no one comes out to be the first to make a comeback and clearly opposes the reform of Jiyan's personnel system.

But it also sounded a wake-up call for major families, and they all restricted the children of the officials to keep themselves clean.

For a time, the official atmosphere in Jiangdong was cleared.

It happened that at that time, Sun Quan was defeated continuously in Hefei, and his troops were greatly damaged.

Because of Jiyan's personnel system pilot, dozens of officials with "economic problems" were changed to military officials.

These officials are said to be outstanding talents trained by wealthy families, but in fact, most of them are "not successful in literature or martial arts". They are just a corpse in the officialdom, but they are corrupt and abused by the law and will not be left behind.

Because I am used to the brocade and jade, I definitely did not work hard in my martial arts. On the battlefield, not to mention meritorious service and rewards, I don’t even have the power to protect myself, and my life is worrying.

It is not easy for a wealthy family to train a corrupt official who is in power. Even military officials are very valuable.

In order to protect the safety of the family's children and to make them meritorious and rewarded, those wealthy families could only send more private soldiers to them.

In this way, Sun Quan not only had money in his pocket, but also had enough troops, which were already short of money, became more abundant.

This is where Sun Quan dared to form an alliance with Cao Cao in private and brazenly let Lu Meng attack Jingzhou!
