Chapter seven hundred and sixty second practice touching people
Zhu Pingan refused without hesitation, which caught Zhang Guanku and others off guard. When they heard Zhu Pingan clicked his tongue for ten thousand taels of silver, they thought Zhu Pingan was shocked by the huge sum of ten thousand taels of silver.
Zhu Ping'an has been bought.
However, now Zhu Pingan refused in a serious manner and without hesitation, which caught them off guard and shocked them.
Especially Zhao Langzhong, who was still aggrieved just now for giving Zhu Pingan 10,000 taels of silver, but now, he heard Zhu Pingan say that he would never accept it. For a moment, Zhao Langzhong was so surprised that his eyes almost widened.
Out.
Make a fool of yourself!
Not even ten thousand taels of silver!
Doctor Zhao widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an like an idiot, and then he felt happy in his heart. Zhu Ping'an didn't want the ten thousand taels. Doesn't that mean that he could get another thousand taels of silver?
After Treasurer Liu and others were surprised, they couldn't help but become anxious. If Zhu Ping'an accepted the money, everything would be fine.
If Zhu Ping'an accepted the money, he would be colluding with himself and others. No, he was on the same boat, so he wouldn't have to worry about checking the accounts. How could he check the accounts after receiving the money?
However, now that Zhu Pingan refused in a serious manner and put on a "breeze on his sleeves" look, Secretary Liu and others naturally became anxious.
Could it be that the bait was not enough?!
It seems that Zhu Pingan has a big appetite.
"Ahem, in addition to the 'Four Liangs', we have many customs in Taicang, such as the 'Arrival Ceremony'." Jia Langzhong coughed, smiled slightly, and then continued to tell Zhu Ping'an about the next step.
It is a common practice to test Zhu Ping'an.
"Arrival Ceremony" Zhu Ping'an's expression did not change.
"Well, this 'appointment ceremony' is not only a ceremony for taking office, but also includes a formal ceremony. Every official who is new to Taicang, including inspectors such as Zihouru and Taicang officials like me, has an arrival ceremony. The silver below
The number is prepared to give 7,000 taels of silver to each new official arriving in Taicang. In the next year, 7,000 taels of silver will also be given to each of the three festivals of the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. In this way, the appointment gift will be about 20,000 taels a year.
Eight thousand taels."
Jia Langzhong said slowly with a smile on his lips. He made it very clear that as long as Zhu Pingan nodded, he didn't have to do anything. Zhu Pingan could receive 80,000 taels of silver a year just for the appointment gift alone.
Why?!
Mr. Zhao on the side was breathing heavily again, clenching his hands so tightly that his veins were exposed. He was twenty-eight thousand taels, and he was short of several thousand taels! As long as he didn't give him the silver number, Zhu Ping'an said,
We can divide the money sent.
With twenty-eight thousand taels of silver, I can find someone to kill Zhu Pingan seven or eight times in a day!
Twenty-eight thousand taels!
The equivalent of RMB is close to more than 20 million. In modern times, the amount involved in many provincial and ministerial level corrupt officials is probably about this amount.
What a generous act!
After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly and raised a hint of disgust at the corner of his mouth. He became more aware of Taicang's filth and evil.
This appointment gift is filial piety from the banks below. Why do the banks below give out so much money to give the appointment gift? Bankers are not stupid. On the contrary, these businessmen are very smart. They generously gave Taicang officials such generous appointment gifts.
, we will naturally get several times the benefits from Taicang.
Many of the local tax collection funds, commercial taxes, deed taxes, salt taxes, tax rebates, etc. are collected through bank accounts and then sent to the bank treasury. The following bank accounts make huge profits through this, and the silver they send is
Some examples are "use less to make more, silver is at a low ebb", using two or three hundred taels to charge four or five hundred taels or even more, or using silver with poor quality as good quality, such as using silver with only 90% silver content.
The silver will serve as pure silver containing 99% of the silver. In this way, the bank can give away the 9% less silver. Over time, the benefits obtained by the bank will be more abundant than the appointment gift paid.
More than ten times.
The officials of the bank received a generous "appointment gift", but naturally they turned a blind eye. In the end, it was only the treasury that suffered.
"I'm just inspecting Taicang. What does it have to do with their bank account? I won't receive any reward for no merit. I can't accept this money."
Zhu Pingan shook his head and refused again without hesitation. This kind of money cannot be brought to the table. It is done secretly and harms the people and the country. In the end, it is the country and the people who suffer. How can he accept it?
Again, if this money is collected, how can I audit the Taicang Bank?
Zhu Ping'an is not a saint, nor is he a stubborn person, but there is some money that can be collected and some money that must not be collected.
Minzhimingao, I can’t even take a bite of it, I can’t even lick it.
A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way.
Zhu Ping'an once again refused in a serious manner, which made Taicang officials very anxious. This time, even the money-grubbing Mr. Zhao was a little anxious.
Twenty-eight thousand taels of silver, plus the ten thousand taels just now, it is almost forty thousand taels of silver.
Definitely a lot.
It’s not a lot for anyone.
Doctor Zhao doesn't think Zhu Ping'an is too little. This amount of money, let alone Zhu Ping'an, who came from the countryside, is a big sum even for Yan Shifan and Yan Xiaoxiang. This amount is enough for Yan Xiaoxiang.
I need to buy a very fat one from my place.
Zhu Ping'an's attitude of "you need to be strong to strike the iron" made Mr. Zhao feel a little guilty and worried for no reason.
Jia Langzhong, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He coughed and continued to say seductively: "Ahem, Zihou, it's like this. We still have a few 'customs' in Taicang, such as 'Ku Bing'."
"It's getting late. If I don't leave, I'll have to worry about these 'customs'. I'll ask you for advice some other time. In that case, I'll take my leave now. Sirs, please stay."
Before Zhu Ping'an could wait for Jia Langzhong to finish speaking, he stood up, apologetically said goodbye to Zhang Guanku and others, bowed deeply, and then turned around and left.
Everyone in the room looked gloomily as they watched Zhu Pingan leave.
"Snapped!"
"Damn it! You're so shameless! Damn it, I found someone to make this idiot son who doesn't know how to appreciate others!" After Zhu Ping'an walked away, Mr. Zhao slammed the table hard and cursed with a ferocious look on his face.
"Why are you shouting? Are you afraid that the people in Dongchang won't hear you?!" Zhang Guanku had a gloomy face and glared hard at Mr. Zhao.
"He, Zhu Ping'an, is so shameless!" Mr. Zhao whispered bitterly.
"Did Zhu Ping'an really find out something?" Secretary Liu was worried about this issue again.
"Don't get confused. I don't believe he can find out anything about the accounts made by 'ghost hands'. He is just bluffing and intending to sell at a high price." Mr. Zhao pretended to be calm.
said.
"Well, Master Zhao is right."
"I just saw Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up when Master Zhao said twenty-eight thousand taels of silver."
"This guy named Zhu is really greedy and has a huge appetite."
