Chapter 371 Useless!
Chapter 371 Crazy!
When did he behave like a left prime minister of the Song Dynasty be cheated like this?
When did you ever be so cowardly?
But since Wu Zhi came to the court, he has suffered a lot of anger.
Unfortunately, he has no choice. Wu Zhi is making money for the official family, so you can't help but accept it. Otherwise, if you don't say that he is caught, Wu Zhi will be unhappy if he tells the official family that he does not agree!
Why.
Cai Jing had no choice but to swallow his anger.
He didn't say he was a pig himself, but he also wanted to be the leader pig, and persuaded others to be cheated with him.
This is a piss off when you think about it.
Cai Jing quickly told his group of people and other court officials about the matter.
First of all, the Privy Council.
This place is under the jurisdiction of Cai Jing.
When the news spread, the entire Privy Council was blown up.
One thousand three hundred taels a month, more than ten thousand taels a year!
What's more, it's six years?
Nearly one hundred thousand taels?
You know, even with Cai Jing's status, how much is the salary a year? It's nearly 4,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention the money Cai Jing embezzled, other court officials also embezzled a lot, but so much money is still very scary.
Many people began to scold Wu Zhi.
But Cai Jing was caught by Wu Zhi, so he had to come out to smooth things over and persuade them that Wu Zhi was accustomed to the official family, and it would be impossible for you to not cooperate.
Seeing everyone quarreling so much, Cai Jing shook his head angrily and scolded Lian Tian: "Everyone, I am forced to helpless in this matter, and the officials see it. If we don't pay the money, the officials will definitely be unhappy!"
Wang Fu: "Mr. Cai, I think all the ministers want to unite to join him, King Yan, so I don't believe that King Yan can cover the sky with just one hand!"
"Isn't this obviously a cheating money?"
"Shen?" A court official smiled and said, "Is Shen moving? In name, it is for the sake of the official family. We, Shen Wuzhi, are dissatisfied with the official family, and will the official family follow us?"
Cai Jing: "Don't argue, everyone, this matter is not forced. I am also cooperating. Just be willing. If anyone doesn't want to take the money, I won't force everyone!"
Once this is outstanding, people quit.
Wang Fu: "Although this is voluntary, what if the official keeps a record, what will happen if we are promoted in the future?"
"This is too bullying. Although it is voluntary, what is the difference between compulsory?"
Yes, no one forced you, but people are watching if you don’t give money. Should you give it or not?
Although it is not an open force, what is the difference?
The key is that you can't find trouble.
They really didn't force it.
A minister roared. If he had taken out some of the money he had saved so hard, he would be so heartbroken that he would have blood: "This King of Yan is trying to squeeze our money. It would be so arrogant to act so recklessly!"
"Does I just don't buy watermelon and book his dishes? I just don't serve the country?"
"Absurd, it's simply ridiculous!"
The scene was like a vegetable market, with great quarrels.
Although they were stubborn, they knew there was nothing they could do about this.
It is still necessary to book.
the next day.
In the back garden.
Wu Zhi was by the river at this moment, and Song Huizong sat on a chair, and asked someone to bring over a pile of thick notebooks and smiled and said, "King Yan, have you seen it? All of these are about you!"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to look at these!"
He roughly looked at it: "Most of the articles written on it are now that many officials have no money. This move makes them very difficult and difficult, making officials miserable, but this is a good thing!"
"It's better for officials to live a hard life than for the people in the world!
It is difficult for the people to have a rebellion. These officials give them ten thousand courages. The military power is in the hands of His Majesty, and they cannot make any mistakes."
"..." Song Huizong thought that what Wu Zhi said was reasonable.
Since ancient times, I have only heard of officials forcing the people to rebel, but I have never heard of officials who want to rebel if they are not in trouble.
Because people are not living a life, they can’t even have enough food to eat, so of course they have to rebel.
But what the officials are doing, they should eat and drink, and these are still fine.
As for those honest officials, Wu Zhi will also deal with them as appropriate to make them less available, but many officials must do so.
Of course, this is all voluntary.
"They have also embezzled a lot of money over the years. It's time to take out a little. King Yan, you have a good idea!"
Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was much more courageous when Wu Zhi was there.
He was very happy to cheat the court officials.
Song Huizong laughed: "If King Yan succeeds, he will have to lose a lot of money, right?"
"Conservatively estimated it is more than 20 million!" Wu Zhi smiled and said, "These can be used as military expenses. The treasury remains unmoved, and all the people who are exploited are all officials, which is not bad!"
Song Huizong: "I agree with the move of King Yan, but I can't force them too hard. I'm really worried that they will do whatever they want!"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is willing to give him ten thousand hearts. You don't know how rich these officials are! They buy a mansion on weekdays, but they don't raise their eyelids for a house worth more than 100,000 taels. And according to our Song Dynasty system, officials have fertile land!"
"Not to mention anything else, it's just a small county magistrate who has more than 7,000 acres of fertile land. They release the land and rent a lot every year. They have money to take without doing anything. Although they don't have much salary, they are all rich in their hands!"
"This is just a county magistrate, let alone the officials in Bianjing. Each of them has at least hundreds of thousands of taels in his hands."
Song Huizong's eyes were shocked: "The King of Yan was right. If that's the case, we'll have less?"
Wu Zhi: "So that's it!"
Song Huizong smiled: "No wonder you proposed to take back the fertile land. So many court officials wished they could kill them in the hall!"
Wu Zhi: "That's right, but it's impossible to kill. Even if they don't have these fertile land, everyone has family wealth, which is enough for them to live a wealthy life. They are pretending! If they really hit them, they will be honest!"
"In fact, we do this to take back some of the money from these corrupt officials' hands, so as not to do anything unscrupulously, and we have to pay back some of the money we have greedy!"
"Besides, we didn't force them. If they had no money, they wouldn't pay."
Song Huizong nodded: "The King of Yan is right!"
Wu Zhi knew that the Song Dynasty had extremely high welfare for officials.
But after these officials have lived well, the court has overloaded the burden every year.
This can also reduce some stress.
The more silver the treasury is, the better.
If this situation is constantly developing in the Song Dynasty, there is no problem with the economic growth. If the Song Dynasty's economy fails, these burdens will soon overwhelm the Song Dynasty. When it is discovered, it will not be too late to save it.
Such a problem has long arisen.
After all, the source is Zhao Kuangyin. This person is afraid that future generations will learn from him, so he designed many departments to restrict each other and increase the treatment of officials.
Anyway, they won’t let them dominate, let them concentrate their power and control the overall situation.
It’s like the Privy Council, everything needs to be transferred here.
It is to let the power be too dispersed and not let its generals possess troops, but there are also disadvantages, which is also one of the reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
If you have to wait for orders for everything, that's a big fucking battle!
Fortunately, this situation rarely occurs during the war. Because Wu Zhi has made great contributions and high status, he leads his troops and is ordered by the government, so the restrictions are very small.
Now Wu Zhi wants to establish a government affairs department, and he is in charge of power. Unfortunately, he is only interested in Yan Yun and has not been established in the Song Dynasty.
In short, Wu Zhi established a task to do practical things and achieve achievements. However, some small things in the Song Dynasty had to be debated for a long time, and he had no efficiency in doing things at all.
Wu Zhi was not in a hurry. As long as Yan Yun’s work was done well, the implementation of the Song Dynasty would be soon.
Wu Zhi did not form cliques, so Song Huizong was still very relieved.
Wu Zhi was very close to Zeng Bu, and everyone else didn't have much contact.
As long as you don’t form a clique, Song Huizong is very relieved. Besides, Wu Zhi is very capable, if you really want to do something, you don’t need to be so troublesome and you can fight directly.
This is also the reason why Song Huizong was relieved...
As time passes.
These days, the court officials' memorials from Wu Zhi have never stopped.
Wu Zhi doesn’t have to worry at all, because Song Huizong was with Wu Zhi, so it’s useless to participate in him.
Even if it is useless, the courtiers still work very hard because they involve their own interests.
This heaven is in court.
A large group of court officials united and participated in him again. It was amazing!
