Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 137 - 137 133 Fishing

?Chapter 137: Chapter 133 Fishing Chapter 137: Chapter 133 Fishing Since Wei Cen recommended handling the matter with Yang Zhenshan in charge, Yang Zhenshan then began to deal with the subsequent affairs according to his own thoughts.

Compared to investigating the smuggling case, it was naturally a top priority for Yang Zhenshan to first take control of the garrison office and the garrison.

Therefore, after meeting Wei Cen, Yang Zhenshan began to first handle the affairs within the garrison office.

While he headed to City Gate Castle, Yang Minghao also conducted a thorough examination of the civil servants and constables in the office. Compared to the issues within the garrison, these civil servants and constables naturally did not pose much of a serious problem.

Despite their blustering and bullying in front of the ordinary people, these civil servants and constables had no qualifications to resist in front of real authority.

Yang Minghao’s method of examination was also simple. Combining the previous investigations, he called each person individually for questioning, and with the promise of rewards for reporting, the civil servants and constables started to expose the dirty secrets of their colleagues.

Whoever had committed dishonorable acts, who was close to whom, who took bribes for personal gain, and who was neglecting their duties—all were reported by one another.

If matters were to be taken seriously, every person in that office should be pulled out for a beating. Not all would need to be beheaded, but giving each of them twenty heavy blows would not wrong a single innocent, including Zhou Ren, this managerial officer.

Of course, Yang Zhenshan was not going to dispose of all the civil servants and constables. The operation of the office could not do without these individuals, so Yang Zhenshan, adhering to the principle of punishing the major offenses and overlooking minor ones, disposed of a dozen or so individuals. The rest had minor issues but were still within tolerable limits.

Of course, after a stick, one should offer a carrot.

Yang Zhenshan also increased the salaries of the civil servants and constables and laid down some rules.

The specific rules need not be mentioned here. In essence, they were to restrain the civil servants and constables from misbehaving and to take their duties seriously.

Once all these were handled, the sky had completely darkened.

The gloomy horizon, at some point, began to flutter with snowflakes, scattering down upon the roof eaves and ridges.

Wrapped in a grey cloak, Yang Zhenshan stepped out from the study, watching the falling snowflakes, and gently said, “The New Year is approaching again!”

Time had imperceptibly entered the twelfth lunar month; calculating the time, he had already been in this world for over three years.

Three years!

Yang Zhenshan, stroking his long beard, wore an expression of helplessness.

It felt like he had been in this world for a very long time.

Probably because his beard grew too quickly.
