Chang Yu's words made Kong Yinzhi shocked and angry. He was holding back his anger towards the little eunuch. After hearing these words, he couldn't sit still any longer. He said angrily: "We are cooperating with the factory supervisor to tease the old man.
If you are teasing an old man like this, you should go to the emperor to seek justice from the Confucius family."
With a bang, Chang Yu jumped into the crime and said, "The rumors are true. You are so shameless that you have to bring toilet paper to wipe your butt with the imperial court. You are so shameless in the Kong family. Now you are enjoying the national crisis."
The emperor's kindness is so great that it doesn't help you to relieve your worries, but you still want the court to cut your flesh and feed your blood, how fucking shameless are you?"
"You, you, how dare you..." Kong Yinzhi had never been scolded like this before when he was always at a high level. He was so angry that he was trembling and unsteady. Kong Zhenkan next to him saw this and quickly got up to help. Zhu Yihai was even more at a loss: "Oh!
, If you have something to say, say it well, oh, Eunuch Chang, if you have something to say, say it well, say it well...".
Hum, Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Some people don't understand people's words, but they insist on letting others expose their shortcomings and slap them in the face. Don't you know the bad virtues of the Kong family? Do you really think you are some kind of virtuous and respected person?"
A noble family, bah!"
"You..." Kong Yinzhi suddenly became angry, and his eyes turned away.
"Dad..." Upon seeing this, Kong Xingxie at the door rushed into the lobby, but was kicked over by Chang Yu: "Get out, you can come in at will, no matter how big or small!"
Kong Xingxie was kicked and knocked over by him without mercy. He got up from the ground with a fierce look on his face and said fiercely: "This is the Yanshenggong Mansion that was pardoned by the Ming Emperor. The factory governor is really not afraid of offending the people of the world or being blamed by the court for his actions."
, Aren’t you afraid of the emperor’s punishment, or is it the emperor’s instruction?”
"Fuck, you dare to criticize the emperor! Open your mouth!" Chang Yu shouted angrily. Only then did Kong Xingxie realize the last gaffe. He was reasonable at first, but because of this sentence, he was arrested. Just as he was about to explain, he was pressed down by several people in Wuzhong.
Stop, come up and slap a few big slaps in the face, knocking me out!
At this time, Kong Yinzhi had just been rescued by Zhu Yihai and Kong Zhenkan. When he saw this, he immediately spat out old blood: "If I don't read your book, I swear that I will not be a human being! I don't believe that you can cover the sky with just one hand."
Destroy my thousand-year foundation of the Confucius family." He said, grabbing Zhu Yihai: "The prince wants to testify to the Confucius family that this eunuch is arrogant and cruel..."
Tsk tsk tsk, Chang Yu picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip: "You can take whatever you want. I will take care of the emperor's punishments and scoldings to the court, but that is for the future. Let's talk about what's going on now, Mr. Yan Shenggong."
.
"Now, what's going on now?" Kong Yinzhi was so mad at the little eunuch that he couldn't react for a while.
"Don't pretend to be stupid." Chang Yu spat: "We have to calculate the tax losses of Yanzhou Prefecture in three years and the appearance fee of the governor!"
Huh? Kong Yinzhi understands the three-year tax, but what does the appearance fee mean?
"The civil unrest here has led to thousands of people besieging the city. If I had not intervened at the right time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Since I have contributed, is it possible that you will send me away with just one meal?" Chang Yu snorted.
"Didn't Mr. Factory Superintendent say before that you should be loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary? It is also your duty to solve the civil unrest. Why do you want to get benefits? You are asking for a bribe. I am lowered.
But I heard that Dongchang, China Unicom, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and others have been investigating corruption in the past few months, how can I pay back... Hehe," the county magistrate Kong Zhenkan, who has always said little, helped Kong Yinzhi to the seat and said coldly.
A mere county magistrate dared to directly confront the then-Admiral Dongchang. This was simply unimaginable in other places. But Kong Zhen dared because he was also a member of the Kong family and had the mountain of Kong Yinzhi as his backing. Even though he was just a county magistrate, he could not dare to do so.
In Yanzhou, the governor of Yanzhou had to be polite when talking to him, and even the governor of Yanzhou had to be polite. Simply put, he and Kong Yinzhi were the gods of Qufu.
"I have done my best, how can I call it asking for bribes if I receive money for my efforts?" Chang Yu sneered and looked at Kong Zhenkan: "If you didn't mention the investigation of corruption, I almost forgot about it. I heard it on the way here.
There are many matters involving the Qufu government. Now that the governor is here, let’s check carefully to see if there is any corruption or bribery!”
Kong Zhenkan’s expression changed immediately!
The reason is very simple. This guy is clearly recorded as a corrupt criminal in historical materials, but even so because of Kong Yinzhi, no one dared to investigate him. Even when the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled the world, they heard about his corruption, but after Kong Yinzhi
With his recommendation, he was still reinstated.
"Others dare not investigate or touch your Confucius mansion, but I dare!" Chang Yu said sternly: "Go to the capital and ask around. The princes and generals are close to hundreds of nobles. I have never been afraid of anyone. I even touched the head of the country.
, are you afraid of your Confucius family? I have never been afraid of offending anyone! Otherwise, what use would the emperor have for me!"
It was obviously a hot day, but the people in the lobby were as cold as ice. They were sweating and snorting, because when Chang Yu said this, he released all his domineering and murderous intent. How could these guys be able to withstand it?
Come.
What's more, his implicit intention was to investigate Kong Zhenkan's corruption.
Forget it, Kong Yinzhi knew that tonight was going to be difficult. This eunuch could gain a reputation in such a short period of time. He was definitely not a kind person. It would be better to respond to him first and then join forces with the courtiers to create public opinion and then regain the situation. With the Confucius Mansion's
Influence, both the government and the public exerted their influence. Even if Emperor Chongzhen favored him, he would not be able to withstand it.
"How much does the factory supervisor charge for appearance?" Kong Yinzhi asked, suppressing his anger.
Chang Yu stretched out a finger, and Kong Yinzhi raised his eyebrows: "Ten thousand taels?"
Wow, Chang Yu looked exaggerated: "The Kong family is so rich, but I only need one tael!"
Uh...one tael? Not to mention Kong Yinzhi, even Zhu Yihai was stunned. This person who took advantage of the situation was too...shabby.
"As Kong Zhixian said, it is the governor's duty to relieve you from your worries. It's just a matter of accepting a tael of silver for a simple effort, but..." Chang Yu's expression became strange again: "The imperial court's three-year tax rules
Not a penny should be missing.”
You...Kong Yinzhi knew that the world couldn't afford to lose the pie, so he just opened his mouth and asked for three years of taxes...
"The governor wants to bring 300,000 silver and 100,000 dan of food. They must be prepared within three days. Otherwise, even though the rebels have left, the governor will have to seal off the city to investigate the case. You just want to go to heaven if you can afford it.
One article and you win."
"You, you, you, why don't you go and grab it!" Kong Yinzhi was furious when he heard this number, although this number was only a drop in the bucket for the Kong family.
"I am not the thief, why are you trying to rob me?" Chang Yu shouted angrily. Kong Yinzhi was forced by his momentum and did not dare to say anything.
How much is 100,000 shi, 300,000 shi? Chang Yu once secretly calculated an account. Historical materials have recorded some tax records of the Ming Dynasty. The average annual land tax across the country is about 20 million shi.
The government released 1.2 million yuan...
Taxes in the north have always been much less than those in the south. There were rumors that the taxes paid by the eight prefectures, eighteen prefectures, and one hundred and seventeen counties in North Zhili were not as high as those of the two counties of Songjiang.
Therefore, even if calculated based on three years, Chang Yu's amount is a bit high, but this is not important. The Kong government can afford to pay for important things.
