Chapter 442: Appeasement
After the meal, Black Bear started to deal with official documents.

Because they were about to arrive in Guanzhong, many daily official documents handled by Ganquan Mountain were also transferred to Ziwu Town.

Because of the extreme autocracy, there is no need to consider any long-term interests.

Therefore, without considering the fabricated facts in the official documents, Black Bear's efficiency in handling official documents is really fast.

At the same time, during the processing, some official documents are constantly taken out and put together.

After disposing of the last basket of bamboo slips, Black Bear pointed at the thirty-odd pieces and said, "The words used are evasive and vague, and there is a suspicion that they are deceiving me. Even if there is no suspicion, it has wasted my precious energy. The drafters and signatories of this batch of documents will be demoted one level and fined three months' salary."

"Here."

Fa Zheng standing by was horrified. This was the first time he had seen someone being punished for using empty words in official documents.

At the same time, Fa Zheng wrote down the punishment decision in shorthand, walked forward to take away the pile of bamboo slips, turned around and handed the wooden tray to a secretary: "Copy the list."

Secretary Lang nodded without saying anything, then took the bamboo slips over and copied the source information of the official document.

Other official documents were also assigned by the secretary according to internal positions and taken away for inspection. Important or high-level documents were copied, while the originals were sent back.

As for the short bamboo slips such as daily greetings and reports sent by households from all over the country, there is no need to copy them and they can be sent back to their original places as usual.

For official documents that need to be filed, the other party must have a minimum official rank of 600 stones; at the very least, he must be a county magistrate.

When the transcription was about to be completed, the team prepared to set off.

Black Bear returned to his bedroom, put on his armor with the help of his personal soldiers, put on a mask, and led his personal team of officials out of the Qianhu government office and boarded the heavy chariot with four front and eight back vehicles in front of the gate.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly, Black Bear climbed onto the second floor of the car and sat on the armchair.

As the chariots set off, the entire team slowly advanced northward along the road.

Fa Zheng also came to the second floor of the front of the car, where the view was excellent and the unique driving perspective gave Fa Zheng a novel feeling.

Today the sun is warm on my face, but the wind is still a little cold on my face.

Fa Zheng was in an especially good mood, and he didn't expect that Hei Xiong would suddenly ask, "Xiao Zhi, have you heard of the "Title and Salary Law" I drafted?"

"I have heard a little bit about it, but I don't know the details yet."

Fa Zheng held the guardrail with one hand and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, are you angry about the rumors about Chang'an?"

"I'm not angry at all. What does Hyo Nao think about this?"

"I think we should reduce the food supply to Chang'an University. If they starve, they will naturally understand the importance of food."

Fa Zheng also smiled and said, "Rumors in Chang'an are easy to eradicate, but the leak of secrets is quite tricky."

"What's so difficult about this? If you look into it slowly, you will eventually find out something. It's nothing more than people who have seen the secret files mentioned it a few times in front of their closest relatives and brothers, and the news spread like wildfire, causing the general public to not know the truth about the Title and Salary Law."

Black Bear looked far to the north, then turned his gaze to the Shanglinyuan area ahead of the road: "It can't be possible that someone leaked it on purpose? If so, what is his purpose?"

It is really confusing. There are no big counties in Guanzhong anymore. All the counties in Sanfu have been divided and torn apart by hundreds of households.

Represented by the big surnames in Guanzhong...Where do the big surnames come from nowadays?

Since the restoration of Guanzhong, the strongest group of people merged with each other to form the Ten Tribes of Guanzhong.

Apart from these ten tribes, the rest of the so-called powerful and wealthy families were just empty names. They actually occupied less land and controlled and enslaved even less people.

After defeating and annexing the vast majority of the tribes led by the ten chiefs, the actual control of the main, high-quality arable land in Guanzhong was achieved through the land occupied by the population of these tribes.

One person cannot control so much land, and the ten tribes in Guanzhong have already occupied the fertile land inside. These lands are cultivated and managed by the troops of the ten commanders, and these troops are the actual controllers. It is also through the annexation of these troops that the concentration of fertile land is completed.

In the entire Guanzhong area, apart from the ten generals, who among the scholars and common people in each county can provide an armed force of fifty people?
Therefore, there is no group in Guanzhong that can resist this decree, and the situation is very clear.

Therefore, Black Bear was somewhat unable to understand what these people were trying to do.

He had received relevant rumor reports a long time ago, and also remotely controlled Zhang Ding to leak the contents of the complete draft, which resulted in a very fierce quarrel.

When someone refutes, there will naturally be people who support it and stand up to debate with it.

In short, he also contributed to the chaotic public opinion in Chang'an.

It cannot be said that things were not exciting enough, but the initial rumors were rather outrageous; that is why the draft was released just to reassure people like Zhang Song.

The existence of restrictions in terms of rules indirectly indicates that there is no possibility that the shogunate will break the rules and rob people.

From ancient times to the present, the big families in Shu have always been worried and concerned about being subjected to large-scale, planned violent looting.

For this reason, they compromised several times with Liu Yan and his son, and cooperated even more honestly after surrendering to him.

The prosperity of Shuzhong does not belong to one person. If it is destroyed, it will not be good for anyone.

Only Shuzhong is worthy of our concession and restraint now. Other areas are just like that.

As long as it is not an open and root-out robbery, the Shu people can give in step by step.

Only by actively leaking the contents of the systematic draft of the Title and Salary Law can the people of Yizhou be appeased.

As for those powerful people in Liangzhou, what can they resist?
Even if we throw the draft of the "Title and Salary Law" in the faces of these people, they will praise it against their will in order to survive.

The scholars outside Liangzhou and Yizhou...what do they have to object to?

Even if he agreed, the armies under the shogunate would not agree.

Now that things have come to this point, he is just purely curious as to whether there is anyone else who collaborated with Zhang Ding to leak the information.

Anyway, this matter needs to be investigated. It will be interesting to find out the truth.

Therefore, Black Bear was really not angry. He could tolerate Kong Rong who took advantage of loopholes and went to work drunk every day, let alone other people.

In a moment, he could find an opportunity to have Lu Bu come to their house in the middle of the night and kill their entire family. He would strangle anyone to death... Even if they were in a high position, they would not be a threat to him.

When it comes to killing an entire family, Lu Bu is the professional.

But Fa Zheng had a serious expression, holding the guardrail with both hands, and his body shook and swayed slightly from time to time as the chariot moved forward.

He also wondered that a law like the Title and Salary Law, which had a long-term impact, should not only be kept secret in the heart, but it should also be sealed repeatedly so that no one else could observe or study it.

Considering Black Bear's habit of carrying two wooden boxes containing various documents, there must be strict confidentiality measures in place.

Now that it was revealed so easily, Fa Zheng's first reaction was similar. He felt that the shogunate must have other considerations.

He just couldn't figure it out for a while, and seeing that the black bear didn't look anxious or annoyed, he instinctively became alert.

I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that the black bear will be too stubborn and conceited, and seriously misjudge the changes in the enemy's and our own forces, leading to a sneak attack.

But after thinking it over again, Fa Zheng decided to investigate secretly first and then report it when the opportunity arises.

Anyway, Huangge is such a large organization and has such power, if he wants to investigate something, he will naturally find proper ways and means.
