Chapter 120 The surprised people of Zhending Mansion: I have only seen the government asking for money, but when have you ever seen the government refund money?

Countless people are looking at Lu Wanling

Waiting for Lu Wanling's answer.

Lu Wanling's voice was low: "Every cent of your salary and salary is the wealth of the people. There are four people in a peasant family who only have five taels of silver for food and clothing throughout the year. Your Zheng Michang's annual salary is one hundred taels of silver. This is

Isn’t the money enough for you?”

"Yes!"

Lu Wanling laughed and continued: "You have finally become a prefect, why don't you show off a little more? What is the purpose of studying hard for ten years? To establish a heart for the world and to establish a destiny for all people? In my opinion, you are just a person.

Common people who want to get rich!"

Zheng Michang remained silent.

Lu Wanling's voice was stern: "The imperial court has said that due to the corruption of officials, which has been heard from time to time, a special system was established to support honest and honest officials. As the name suggests, they are encouraged to be honest officials. The imperial court ordered the return of Xian Xian to the public, in order to reduce the showdown. You, Zheng Michang, last year

The annual yanglian silver is one thousand taels, and the yanglian silver and salary in your hands total one thousand one hundred taels!"

"A farmer's family can live two hundred and twenty years!"

Lu Wanling said coldly: "Zheng Michang, I ask you, the court did not give you a salary this year? County magistrates present, I ask you, the court did not give you a salary this year?"

Everyone was slightly stunned. For a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one could speak.

"Li Youcai!"

The county magistrate suddenly trembled when his name was called by Lu Wanling.

He stood up hurriedly and said: "Li Youcai, the lower official, has just met your Excellency!"

Lu Wanling continued: "I'm asking you, you are the magistrate of Changshan County. Now, I'm asking you, is your salary missing from the imperial court this year?"

Li Youcai immediately said respectfully: "Sir, no!"

"Then the Yanglian Silver given to you by the court this year fell into your hands?" Lu Wanling continued to ask.

"My lord, all the imperial court's money for raising integrity will be distributed!" Li Youcai replied.

"I would like to ask you, have any of you ever received salary and money from the imperial court?" Lu Wanling's voice became louder and louder.

"Sir, no!"

In a group of people, you look at me and I look at you, and they all give honest answers.

Many of them also engaged in apportionment.

This reason is also quite sufficient.

If you don’t take it, you won’t get it.

They say that the government forces the people to rebel, but doesn’t this mean there is no rebellion yet?

As long as you don't rebel, as long as this matter doesn't make a big deal out, and the money falls into your own pocket, it belongs to you.

But no one thought of it.

The court is serious this time.

One by one of this group of dog officers who were immediately replaced, they didn't even have time to spare.

There is another key reason to keep reaching out.

That is, everyone does not trust the imperial court that much.

After all, it has been more than two hundred years.

Forget about the small salary set by Lao Zhu. Later, there was a cheating system. From top to bottom, all civil and military officials lacked trust in the court.

If you can get a little bit, it's a little bit.

When I retire, I will have a large sum of money in my hands, and my family will have thousands of acres of fertile land. In short, this official job cannot be in vain.

They also didn't believe that Zhu Youxiao could really be like Zhu Yuanzhang, that he would kill anyone who dared to be greedy.

However, this kind of thing is like domestic violence and cheating.

Since there is a first time, there must be a second time.

If there is a second time, there will be a third time.

There are only zero times and countless times.

The Dog Emperor is somewhat addicted.

Only then did Lu Wanling's eyes fall on Zheng Mi Chang, and his voice was calm: "Zheng Mi Chang, can you say it again? Are all the civil and military officials of the dynasty dressed like beasts?"

Zheng Michang just remained silent,

"It's not that the imperial court won't give you a salary, it's not that it won't provide you with honest money!"

Lu Wanling's voice suddenly became louder: "It's you, it's you. It's you who can't satisfy your desires. It's you who are greedy. You are self-righteous and harm the people. Now you still have to argue, saying that wearing this official robe, you and I are not just beasts."

, I will tell you today, I am not an official, but there are many officials in the Ming Dynasty who are not!"

At this moment, Lu Wanling looked upright and upright.

Many officials present felt a trace of cold sweat break out on their foreheads.

Everyone felt that this man was definitely not an easy master to serve.

"If you are a beast in clothes like you, the court will arrest you. The fate of corrupt officials will be like you, Zheng Michang. Don't reach out, otherwise you will catch them!"

Lu Wanling said coldly: "Even if one day I turn into a beast in clothes like you, it will be the same. No one can escape!"

"good!"

The people who were watching cheered.

"Zheng Mi Chang, just plead guilty, arrest Zheng Mi Chang, and send him to the capital!" Lu Wanling stood up, as if a dark cloud shrouded everyone's heart, and he slowly said: "Leave it to me.

The Emperor has made a decision, and the Ministry of Punishment will discuss the crime. Zheng Mi Chang, the Emperor wants to punish corruption. Anyone who embezzles more than three thousand taels of silver in this new government will be skinned and turned into grass!!"

Long live, long live!

The people began to cheer.

"Okay, back out!"

Lu Wanling said calmly.

All the county officials were sweating profusely, and the day was not that hot. However, in this lobby, they felt as if they had fallen into the dog days of summer.

The gate of the county government office was closed.

Lu Wanling glanced at everyone, and then slowly said: "My lords, the emperor's new policy is intended to combat corruption and abuse. All lords have read poetry and books, read saints' books, and listened to saints' words. Now the imperial court is subsidizing hundreds of officials.

As the name suggests, we have set up a special fund to support honest officials. I hope you will be willing to be honest officials, but now the apportionment of the Zhending Mansion is seventeen times more than the quota set by the emperor. Why?!"

Suddenly, Lu Wanling slammed the table. The loud sound made all the county officials present shudder. They all looked at Lu Wanling in fear.

Lu Wanling's voice also became stern: "The people are in poverty, and the people are living in dire straits. How many people are criticizing and slandering the New Deal, salary and salary, and the people's wealth and support. Has the court treated you badly? Have the people treated you badly? You are worthy of yourselves by squeezing and exploiting the power of the people in this way.

Are you worthy of your official position? Aren't you a little bit ashamed?"

A group of people were all silent and ashamed. It was absolutely impossible to be ashamed.

More of a fear.

Peeling skin and filling it with grass, this dog emperor is really capable of such a thing.

Now is the interrogation. God knows what will happen to me. After playing a trick, I was escorted to the capital, and my skin was peeled off on the way. What should I do?

Lu Wanling glanced at everyone, and his voice became more and more severe: "Is it the emperor's fault? In the past, Zhending Mansion had to charge an extra one or two or six yuan of silver when the apportionment was put together, but now, it only needs to charge an extra four or five yuan of silver.

The burden on the people should be reduced, so why does Zheng Michang dare to make it worse?"

All the officials were silent, but they felt particularly tortured.

None of these dog officials have clean bottoms.

Will everyone be escorted to the capital?

Although this is unlikely, this is the Sword of Damocles, and you don't know when it will fall.

"It's because my desires are hard to satisfy! My lords!"

Lu Wanling's voice began to become softer: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty must reflect on themselves. Zheng Michang deceived the heavens and increased the apportionment. This is a way to harm the country and the people. I think this person's behavior has nothing to do with you adults. There are so many

I accepted some money, but I was deceived by Zheng Michang!"

Lu Wanling changed the topic, but it made people feel refreshed physically and mentally after taking a bite of ice in the middle of summer.

At that moment, Li Youcai quickly said: "What you said is absolutely true. We are all oppressed by Zheng Michang. This Zheng Michang is really a beast. How can we do anything to harm the people after taking the money from the court to raise integrity?"

The whole thing is that Zheng Michang forced the subordinate to adopt more honest money!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Many officials also woke up from their dreams, and one by one they laid the blame on Zheng Michang's head.

"alright!"
