Chapter 234 Lost Benefits
"Next time I go to the capital, I will have to pay a visit to Lord Shen." Shen Qingzhou was about to leave, and the governor saw him off. The two of them cooperated quite well, but Shen Qingzhou knew that if he didn't leave, the governor would probably not be able to deal with him.

I could endure it at first because it was beneficial, but that was the most superficial layer, mainly involving my official position. Now, with my help, not only has the crisis been overcome, but I have also received many awards.

Even without a crisis, he felt that he had gone too far. To be honest, Shen Qingzhou himself felt that he had gone too far. When he did things, he never gave much face to the governor. Many of his subordinates were got rid of by him. He did it only to do what was just.

He doesn't engage in favoritism. Cooperation for the benefit of others is based on the other party's own abilities. As for giving gifts, it is for the sake of promotion. Only with promotion can one serve the people more and have more talents. How can they be the same?

"You are joking, Governor." Shen Qingzhou looked around. Everyone was looking at him curiously. He sighed slightly. This prosperous scene was about to wither.

This time, the governor of Tanzhou only boosted the economy. Unlike before when Dongyang Prefecture and Sanyang County were in power, people's hearts were also united.

This also has a lot to do with the governor. Tanzhou City is three times the size of Dongyang Prefecture City, but the number of people filing complaints is actually less than that in Dongyang Prefecture City. There are too many people who know Shangguan's style.

Most of them had been bribed in advance, and it was not a big deal. It was better to have less trouble than more. Shen Qingzhou actually gave them a chance, but they did not sue. He had a bunch of people who specialized in investigating any irregularities, but the victims themselves insisted that nothing was wrong, so Shen Qingzhou could do nothing.

Of course, for some people who have committed extremely serious crimes and have no victims, Shen Qingzhou will have to find a way to take them down. In recent years, many officials have been brought down.

However, the trend has not been formed. After I leave, I don't know how long this trend can be maintained in Tanzhou. On the contrary, in some prefectures below, Shen Qingzhou is decisive in killing and the trend is much better.

Nowadays, with flowers blooming everywhere, even the governor feels that Tanzhou has developed. However, they do not know how obedient Shenjia Village, the world-famous No. 1 village in the world, and the Shenjia Business Company are to them.

A big part of the reason why Tanzhou City has developed in recent years is because of Shen Qingzhou's presence in Tanzhou City. Wherever he is, that is where the center of the business is. Correspondingly, the employment and various benefits he provides have brought about earth-shaking changes in Tanzhou City.

It would be fine if Tanzhou City was the same as Dongyang Prefecture, but according to Shen Qingzhou's understanding of the government of this era, without his style, the economy would not be able to develop at all. The corruption and bribery would be a pain in the ass, and the transformation would not be completely successful.

The most important thing is that the parasites have not been completely defeated, and he does not have that much energy. He mainly focuses on developing other states. If he is given another term, he can basically make changes. However, he does not want to wait any longer, and he does not have much talent.

"Goodbye, Mr. Shen."

"Goodbye."

Many officials were sincere. How could they completely change their existing ideas in just three years? Being an official means doing so much. It's speechless, especially when I see so many businesses that are so rich but don't pay tribute. It's hard to believe. But now, the superiors are gone. They don't want money. You would feel embarrassed to accept my meal.

Shen Qingzhou had been reformed, so no one had the courage to ask for money directly.

[Song of Righteousness: The host does righteous things, serves as an official, benefits Tanzhou, and gains talent points × 30000]

[Song of Righteousness: The host is an official, uses means, and deducts talent value × 10000]

The moment I left Tanzhou City, rewards and punishments came together, but fortunately, I could bear it and could upgrade with just a thought.

【Civil rank: Jinshi (1230.425/1000000)】

After he came to Tanzhou, he was in charge of the political affairs of the whole continent, which brought him a salary of more than 30,000 yuan per year. The most in the first year was over 40,000 yuan.

[The host's rank is promoted, and he obtains the Jinshi skill of verbal sparring, and rises to prominence]

Shen Qingzhou felt the talent in his body operating automatically. The dark carriage suddenly became bright, and a white pocket-sized sword appeared. He touched it tentatively and found it was a real object. With a thought, the sword disappeared.

This is a sparring match, which is just what the words say. A small sword is growing in his body, and this sword can grow bigger and eventually become a three-foot-long blade. Now, it is still a minor, but it can still be used as a dagger.

And, that’s not all, if he used poetry with guns and swords, the power would go up to a new level.

As for rising to prominence, he learned about it and was a little surprised. This skill was a bit exaggerated and even the original body could not do it.

Rising to the top is a speed skill. The difference is that as long as he has enough talent, he can keep going up, which means he can fly. Of course, if he doesn't have enough talent and falls down, he will still die. So be careful.

After becoming a Jinshi, he became much stronger, but not strong yet, which was a good thing. Shen Qingzhou was very happy and went to Beijing with more than a hundred guards.

As for Tanzhou.

"Mr. Zhang, how is it? The pressure should be less in the future." A yamen runner said to a middle-aged man in a small restaurant.

"Who says it's not? Once someone reports it, it will be rectified."

"Then it's not your fault. Okay, I'll protect you from now on. I'll go to your place for lunch. It's time to bring out that bottle of old wine."

Lao Zhang didn't take it seriously at first, but when he returned to the restaurant and heard a lot of people talking, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that people didn't start bullying others so quickly after Shen Qingzhou left.

He was a businessman. He went back and thought about it carefully, his face changed drastically. No, this was just the beginning. Maybe those officials themselves had no intention of changing, but if they kept going step by step, sooner or later they would return to their original state.

Although I have been reported and fined for various reasons in the past two years, it was all my own fault. I did not take bribes and I lived a decent life. But why did it become like this after Lord Shen left?

An ordinary family.

"Lao Niu, I only owe you ten taels of silver, and I compensated you thirty taels. To be honest, I feel very distressed. Don't worry, I won't make trouble. I won't leave unless you pay me back."

Lao Niu regrets it very much. If he had known earlier, he should not have taken your money and sued you directly. Ten taels of silver would have been enough to catch you, a deserter. He regrets it very much.

This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but it has begun to happen. Many people who have received compensation have already regretted it. The people should not fight against the officials. Look at the group of people who filed the lawsuit. The other party has been removed from office. They are also civilians. Who is afraid of whom?

However, the biggest change was the departure of the Shen family business. Once they left, the Zhang family business that had been living off them, as well as the agents of the major prefectures and even the agents of the governor's family, also had to flee with them.

"Uncle, I don't want to leave either, but you don't know. Once the Shen family business is gone, I won't be able to get first-hand information, and there are many things I can't handle. Also, uncle, regarding welfare, it has to be cut this year. You know, if he hadn't asked us to donate, why would we have to do this thankless work, and it would also save my aunt's nagging.

If you want to donate, it is more cost-effective to donate to Dongyang Prefecture, and the Shen family business can give you a few more Moon Palace beauties that are worth a fortune."

In the Governor's Mansion, the Governor was very worried because Shen Qingzhou had left, but everyone would only miss him. His own nephew, who was also the main force in the family's business, would also go with him.

He can't stop it. The merchants have their own choices, and you are not letting them do business.

He had prepared all these, but he couldn't show up immediately, so the new governor had to take the blame.

A week later, many people realized something was wrong.

"No, Shopkeeper Shen, why is our door a bit dirty these days? Also, didn't you say you were going to repair the outer wall? Don't you believe it?"

"Mr. Zhang, it can't be repaired. Also, the soap I get every month is gone. All my benefits are gone."

"What's wrong? Why is it gone? You can't do this."

"Old Zhang, you are being unreasonable. The welfare benefits were originally provided by Lord Shen after consultation with various major businesses. They were not meant for everyone.

We were able to distribute benefits in the past because the headquarters of all the major businesses were in Tanzhou City. Tanzhou had huge profits and could support this kind of consumption. Now, the headquarters of all the major businesses have moved to the imperial capital, and people like us can no longer support it."

"this."

Many people have slowly begun to accept that Lord Shen, who was a bit annoying, took every little thing to heart and was overly strict, has left Tanzhou. When he was there, he managed strictly, but now, they feel like they have lost something, at least their own interests have been lost.
