The data told by Mu Siyue made Gu Bingqian despair.
How could these people know the approximate assets of his family?
How do they know that he has a very good relationship with maritime merchants?
Are they really people from the fairy palace who fell from the sky?
Looking at the eyes of his colleagues around him, there was disbelief and astonishment in their eyes. Then he looked at Emperor Tianqi and King Xin, and he saw the astonishment and disbelief in their eyes.
King Xin and Emperor Tianqi received Confucian education and followed Confucian rules throughout their lives.
But what Mu Siyue said was too subversive of their cognition and inherent concepts!
It turns out that none of the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty were not greedy?
Wei Zhongxian next to him stared at Gu Bingqian with gloomy eyes!
He thought that Gu Bingqian was still useful, so he took good care of this fellow countryman.
But this guy is too greedy.
Hooking up with Jiangsu and Zhejiang maritime merchants behind his back?
Actually earning 2 million taels per year?
Wei Zhongxian admitted that he was jealous.
Gu Bingqian was trembling and pointed at Mu Siyue, speechless.
I want to retort, but those who see jokes are not easy to get along with.
How could he, an old man with no strength, deal with these strong-blooded men?
It’s over!
His face turned from white to red in an instant.
Phew~
A mouthful of old blood was spurted out by him.
"Master Gu!"
Boom~
Another table was kicked to pieces.
"If you dare to yell again, I will chop you alive first, and then I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
When Chen Mu became angry, order suddenly returned to the scene.
Mu Siyue smiled and gave Chen Mu a thumbs up.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Bingqian, his expression was not sad, but full of anger.
Looking at Gu Bingqian's appearance, the 2 million taels are definitely real.
Such a greedy person actually occupies a high position?
Is it true that the Ming Dynasty is in danger of subjugation as these foreign visitors say?
King Xin looked at Gu Bingqian's wretched face, and he was filled with pleasure but also felt surprised!
Two million taels. His service for a year is only tens of thousands of taels. Although the emperor's brother has been doing carpentry work, he is not rich.
These 2 million taels can provide half a year's salary for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong.
…
Mu Siyue looked at Emperor Tianqi and King Xin thoughtfully, with a smile on her lips.
Then, she turned her firepower and said to Zhao Nanxing, the censor of Zuodu:
"Mr. Zhao, right? You said that your job as the censor of Zuodu is quite noble! But why do you have so much money?"
"Let me see, oh ho~ I have a net worth of 120,000 taels, and my family has over 10,000 acres of fertile land! Do you want to say that it was accumulated in the 100s? But it seems that the tax-free farmland of your rank is only 1,000 acres, right? Why do you have so much leftover land?
You don’t pay taxes on nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land?”
"Hey, your grandson is so romantic. He actually redeemed several courtesans in Yihongyuan. Let me see, Huo spent 10,000 taels of silver. Where did this silver come from?"
Zhao Nanxing's face suddenly turned as red as Gu Bingqian's.
Mu Siyue looked at the people in the six departments again.
Every piece of information about them came out from Mu Siyue's cherry mouth.
Every time someone is mentioned, these people's faces become less good-looking.
After talking to about ten people like this, Mu Siyue stopped talking: "Since ancient times, what goes up and what goes down follows the example. Even the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are so greedy, let alone the gentry and petty officials below."
Wenwu and Xungui were silent.
King Xin, Emperor Tianqi, and a group of princesses, queens, and concubines listened to Mu Siyue's speech, and there was no rebuttal from them, and their expressions were even more strange!
King Ruxin was angry, Tianqi was surprised, and Queen Zhang was frightened!
The greed of nobles and nobles is an unspoken rule that everyone in Ming Dynasty knows.
But through Mu Siyue's narration, the civil servants and the emperor discovered that these nobles had completely become moths.
The lowest earl has tens of thousands of acres of land, and his family's assets start at five hundred thousand taels.
The Manchu princes of the Ming Dynasty were not good people either.
Although there are occasionally one or two honest officials, 90% of them are corrupt.
Perhaps the civil servants thought that living in the capital was not easy, and the Qingliu people said how poor they were.
But as Mu Siyue, the big boss of the Ming Dynasty, exposed the dirty things in the past one by one, he suddenly turned into a stinky person.
What goes up is effective, and it can be seen whether the officials below are clear in their governance!
After the story was almost finished, Chen Aiguo nodded and Mu Siyue retreated to the rear.
"Okay, this is the point where official governance breaks down: greed."
"When official governance collapses, it not only causes irreparable damage to the country's legal principles, but also causes the people to lose trust. When trust is lost, resentment will inevitably arise."
Chen Aiguo sighed: "Official administration is the foundation. When the official administration collapsed in the Ming Dynasty, there were as many cases of partiality, perversion of the law, and wrongful and unjust cases as crucian carps crossing the river. And the use of legal loopholes will inevitably be banned again and again."
Speaking of this, Chen Aiguo looked at Gu Bingqian who fainted: "It's like bending the law for personal gain. Mr. Gu is the most familiar with this and has the best connections!"
Phew~
The unconscious Gu Bingqian spurted out a mouthful of old blood again.
"Master Gu! Master Gu!"
"Quick, go find the imperial doctor."
"We are under control, how can we find the imperial doctor?"
In a humanitarian spirit, Mu Siyue asked team doctor Yuan Qingkai to come over and check.
"He had a cerebral hemorrhage, and even if he was rescued, he would be a dementia." Yuan Qingkai shook his head: "If your imperial doctor is capable, you can also save him."
Save the shit!
Who dares to save Gu Bingqian at this time?
Isn’t this pulling yourself into trouble?
He deserved to die!
The faces of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi, and King Xin were very ugly at this moment.
They speculated that Chen Aiguo was definitely talking about Gu Bingqian's pain points.
Otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry that he died of shame and rage.
The Qianqing Palace was extremely quiet. When the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, inappropriate laughter suddenly sounded.
But Chen Mu couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: "My mental quality is so bad, I actually made myself angry to death!"
Chen Aiguo looked embarrassed, and then glared at Chen Mu fiercely.
These ancient people take face so seriously, can't you speak less?
Chen Mu understood Chen Aiguo's eyes.
So he held it in and refused to laugh!
I just feel chest pain from holding it in!
Chen Aiguo said sincerely: "You have to thank Zhang Juzheng. If it hadn't been for Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos!"
He tried his best to regain the normal rhythm of his speech.
"After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, various long-existing problems will become the trigger for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty."
"In terms of public security, the generals' families are having trouble with their children, and the guard system has completely collapsed. Civil and military generals have colluded with businessmen to sell food and materials to Liaodong! The imperial power treats the royal family favorably, resulting in hundreds of thousands of rice bugs unable to survive, but they can't survive.
Countless daimyo tax resources are wasted to raise them, you all know this."
"Because civil servants had some land tax-free rights, after the collapse of officialdom, land annexation became more and more serious, and countless taxes were diverted to the poor who only had a dozen acres of poor land, causing the poor people to live in misery! The inherited household registration system prevented scholars, farmers, and merchants from freely transforming themselves.
The good system in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China turned into bad governance!"
"This is the consequence of the collapse of officialdom!"
