Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

In the study, Su Yan was planning the future expansion of the army.

In the previous battle of Baixiongling, Su Yan seized a large amount of military supplies.

He asked Dian Wei to take the reorganized army of 500 people to equip these equipment, and then moved the barracks to Baixiongling.

A few days ago, the Zou family sent a lot of weapons and armor.

Su Yan looked at them and saw that they were all high-quality equipment.

He called Dian Wei back and asked him to start recruiting soldiers in the county.

He planned to exchange all the gifts sent by the noble families for money, and then use it to buy food and weapons and equipment.

According to his estimate, with the population of 20,000 households in Zhuo County, it is entirely possible to recruit an army of 2,000 people.

After training, these people will serve as daily garrisons, responsible for war and guarding.

As for the 500 people, he plans to train them into an elite division as his personal battalion.

At the critical moment of the war, these people will be like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of the enemy to help win the war. In modern times, this is considered a special force.

Here, Su Yan was planning something about the development of the army, but there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, there is a group of nobles causing trouble outside the county government office."

The guard reported

"Invite them to the hall, I will come later."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, and realized that these people should be those who failed in the bid.

Leaving the study and coming to the hall, everyone hurriedly saluted when they saw this.

""Everyone, please take a seat."

Su Yan said, and then sat down.

The others also sat down, and then one person stood up and said,"Sir, I am Jian Yun, the representative of the Jian family. This time I am here to sue the county magistrate Du Ji for accepting bribes privately and committing corruption and abuse of power."

"Sir, we are here to sue the county magistrate as well."

"Please, sir, punish him severely!"

As soon as Jian Yun opened his mouth, other family members followed suit. Each has his own reason.

Su Yan listened to their stories carefully, then smiled and said,"I understand what you mean. How about I call Du Ji and ask him in detail?"

"That's great!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Su Yan looked at the servants and said,"Go, call the county magistrate."

""Yes!"

The servant turned and left to look for Du Ji. Su Yan and the others waited slowly.

After a while, Du Ji walked in leisurely.

"Greetings, my lord!"

He bowed respectfully to Su Yan.

"Sit down!"

Su Yan waved his hand, motioning him to sit down.

Su Yan looked at him and said,"Du Ji, Jian Yun and representatives of ten other families jointly sued you for corruption and abuse of power. You embezzled their money in advance and promised to give you the right to use the five streets of South City, but in the end you turned your back on us. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on Du Ji.

Du Ji raised his head, looked at everyone and said,"My lord, Ji didn't know about this."

In an instant, the crowd was excited.

""Du Ji, do you still dare to quibble in front of the county magistrate?"

Jian Yun looked at Du Ji and said coldly.

He looked at Su Yan,"Please, sir, make the decision for us and severely punish Du Ji!"

The others in the hall echoed, and suddenly there was a commotion and noise.

Su Yan coughed twice, and everyone suddenly quieted down. He looked at Du Ji and said,"What do you have to say?"

""My lord, I have something to say."

Du Ji said, neither servile nor arrogant, bowing his hands.

Seeing that he stood up straight, confident and not nervous at all, Jian Yun felt unsure.

Why is he not afraid at all now that the truth has been revealed?

Is there something fishy?

Jian Yun muttered to himself.

Du Ji smiled and said,"My lord, what they said is all slanderous words."

"As everyone knows, I am a new county magistrate. I have just assumed power, and many people want to build relationships with me. It is normal to bring gifts when they come to visit me. I believe everyone should agree with this, right?"

No one spoke, and obviously no one refuted his point.

These are some basic principles of dealing with people, and everyone understands them, so no one dares to refute them.

After a pause, he continued:"As the county magistrate, I am representing the organizer of this bidding conference, so I must act impartially and speak with integrity."

"However, the ten shops including the Jian family did not have the slightest integrity."

"As far as I know, these ten shops have no moral bottom line and often bully other shops, not allowing them to open, and in serious cases, they even send people to assassinate them."

"Let me ask you, if such dishonest and bad shops are allowed to use Nanshi Fifth Street, wouldn’t the entire Nanshi market be in complete chaos?"

"By then, people from other counties will all know about the chaos in Nanshi and will no longer come to Zhuo County to trade. The final losses will be suffered by the government and the people. Who will bear the responsibility?"

"Therefore, considering the above factors, I have eliminated these ten shops from the competition and assigned South City Fifth Street to shops like the Zou and Lu families that are based on integrity."

Du Ji said a lot, and the other family members knew what was going on and lowered their heads.

"Wait!"

Jian Yun said again:"What about the money we gave you? You accepted bribes privately, you can't get away with this."

"I didn't take the money."

Du Ji said in a clear voice:"I only have my mother at home, and she doesn't need such a huge amount of money, so I confiscated it all and put it into the county government treasury."

""Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Su Yan clapped his hands and laughed,"Du Ji did a great job. Businessmen should be honest in business. No matter what they do, they should be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

Jian Yun sighed softly. He knew that the matter was over.

Su Yan and Du Ji played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, which was just for them to see.

In this case, if they continued to entangle, they would only suffer.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say, and then they said goodbye and left.

Only Su Yan and Du Ji were left in the hall.

The two looked at each other and laughed.
