Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 521 Public Outrage?The officials will be angry too! (Third update, rewards and updates)
As soon as Liu Hongjian entered the capital, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. After driving for five days, he thought that he would take the three brothers of the Qi family to have a good meal in the restaurant in the capital first, which would be a cleansing of the dust.

But the more I walked forward, I found that people were running towards the west, as if something happened there.

"Old man, may I trouble you, what happened to the west of the city?" Liu Hongjian got off his horse and asked an old man carrying a pole.

"Ah, it's not because of what happened a few days ago, Mr. Tong from the Ministry of Rites went to the Ministry of Households to advance the payment of next month's salary because he had no rice at home, but Mr. Zeng from the Ministry of Households refused verbally.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tong hanged himself after returning home. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were so angry that they ran to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households to question. It was okay a few days ago, but today I heard that the officials of the Ministry of Industry had also gone and made a move.

I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do, just go and watch the excitement! " Seeing Liu Hongjian's luxurious clothes, the old man didn't dare to neglect him, so he explained the matter in detail.

"The official... died of starvation?" Liu Hongjian scratched his head. Although he had been in Daming for two years, he had never worried about food and clothing.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. The people didn't starve to death, so why did the officials starve to death instead?
This is simply a joke of the world!

"Brother Qi, I'm afraid we have to go to dinner later. Something happened to the household department, and I want to go take a look." Liu Hongjian said to the three brothers of the Qi family behind him.

"There's no rush to eat. I also ate dry food on the way down. It's still important to go down on business." The three brothers of the Qi family also got off their horses.

The four of them went first, followed by three bodyguards, Niu Dabangchui, Liu Hu, and Liu Bao, and walked towards the yamen of the household department.

The yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs had already been surrounded with three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was very noisy and lively.

"You and other household officials, you are so ruthless, you can't save yourself! Why are you so calm, have you read all the sage books in the shit?"

"Yes! Hand over Zeng Dechang, we swear to seek justice for Master Tong!"

"Pepper discount, we can no longer afford the family, it must be cancelled!"

"Master Tong died unjustly!"

……

Those who came to question were all lower-level officials from various ministries. They had the same dilemma as Tong Liben, and they had no right to meet Chongzhen. Tong Liben's death was the fuse that ignited the anger in the hearts of lower-level officials.

If they can't seek justice for Mr. Tong today, and can't appeal to the Ministry of Households to cancel the pepper discount, they will not leave!
Now the low-level officials outside the yamen are about to lose control, and Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, is blocked in the yamen and cannot get out, and is in a hurry.

He had already sent yamen servants to pass on the news that the soldiers and horses of the five cities had come to maintain order, but it had been half an hour and no one had come.

It must be the people from the Bingma Division who also participated. These guys who don't have the slightest view of the overall situation, Ni Yuanlu sighed and walked out of the room.

"Everyone, be quiet! This old man knows the plight you have encountered, and I am very saddened by the death of Mr. Tong.

But this letter of the real thing has been the practice over the years, and it has always been the same in previous years, and please colleagues to give up a passage so that the old man..."

Snapped--

"Ah—" Before Ni Yuanlu finished speaking, someone threw a rotten egg, which happened to hit Ni Yuanlu's forehead, and instantly the black and yellow rotten egg hit Ni Yuanlu's face.

"Don't lie to us. In the past, the discounted salary in kind was empty in Taicang. Now that the national treasury is full, why do you still use rotten street pepper to perfuse us? Are low-level officials not officials?"

"Yes! If you don't give a regulation today, Ni Shangshu will never get out of this yamen!"

"Who is it? Who threw the egg! It's the wrong way, come! Come, arrest this group of officials who don't know the heights and depths of the world and put them in the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" Ni Yuanlu is almost seventy years old. It's hairy.

In an instant, more than a dozen yamen servants with killing sticks in their hands ran out of the yamen of the household department. The officials outside the yamen did not show weakness. group.

It's all cheap for a group of melon-eating people carrying poles and children. It's rare for officials to fight, let alone group fights.

Many people thought it was funny. In the past, they were ordinary people who couldn't eat, but since there were potatoes and sweet potatoes, although they were still a bit stretched because they were infrequent, they were much better than in previous years.

On the other hand, this group of officials and lords actually fought for food.

"Presumptuous! Do you still have the face of being an official?" When Liu Hongjian walked to the yamen of the household department, he saw the lively fighting outside the yamen.

Seeing the black and yellow dirt on the face of Uncle Ni from the household department, he felt angry.

I have heard that the ministers in the court like to use force, and now it seems that the low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty are not too much less!
Liu Hongjian yelled loudly, only dozens of officials around heard it, seeing that it was the Prince of Anguo County coming, they all hurried out of the way.

But the officials inside are having a good fight with the yamen servants, so they don't care who is behind them.

"Big mallet!" Liu Hongjian was thinking of someone to stop him, when the three brothers of the Qi family walked over first with matching eyes.

The three brothers of the Qi family practiced martial arts all day long. Where could this group of amateur players be their opponents?

The three brothers also knew that these were weak officials, and they acted only to prevent the dispute from worsening.

"My lord, my lord should make the decision for us. As the court officials, we know our identity. It's not that we don't want to lose face. The officials of the household department pay [-]% of the salary in kind. My family can't bear it!"

An official knew that the person in front of him might be able to help them, and was the first to kneel down and explain the truth.

"I beg your lord to be the master, wait for me to express my feelings!" All the low-level officials fell to their knees.

When the imperial court took back the land, the first to suffer were the officials in the capital. In the past, these officials in the capital could more or less be respected by the gentry in their hometown.

But now the gentry have lost their land, and even their filial piety, how can they support their families only on the salaries issued by the court.

Liu Hongjian frowned slightly, and glanced at Ni Yuanlu who was hesitant to speak.

"Let's go back to your respective yamen first to handle errands. I will definitely report this matter to the emperor. I promise that I will give you an explanation within three days!" Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

Although the king of Anguo County is not very old, everyone knows that he has always acted vigorously and resolutely. The officials who knelt on the ground looked around, and all of them had made up their minds.

"Resignation!" An official walked away first.

With the first one, other officials also scattered like birds and beasts.

"The source of this matter is the Qingzhang land proposed by the prince. He picked out the matter first, and wait for him for three days. If he hasn't explained it yet, even though we have a low official position, we will go to beat the Dengwen drum to serve the world. Officials please!"

A group of officials walked out of the street, muttering to each other and heading towards their respective yamen.

"Master Ni, Taicang warehouse is full of money, why is the salary still discounted in kind? Could it be that you did it on purpose?" Liu Hongjian asked sternly, regardless of Ni Yuanlu who was smashed with a rotten egg all over his face.

Officials were forced to death, this is not a trivial matter, it shows that in-kind compensation has endangered the lives of low-level officials.

"Oh, my lord doesn't know something!"
