Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 120 Surprised people in Zhending Mansion: I have only seen the government ask for money, when have I seen the government refund the money?
Countless people are looking at Lu Wanling

Waiting for Lu Wanling's answer.

Lu Wanling's voice was low and deep: "Er salary, every penny is the people's fat and people's ointment. There are four people in a farmer's family who wear clothes and eat for a year, but only five taels of silver. Your annual salary of Zheng Bichang is 100 taels of silver. This silver Not enough for you?"

"Yes!"

Lu Wanling laughed, and continued: "It's hard for you to become the magistrate, so you don't want to be a bit of a ostentation? What is the purpose of studying hard for ten years? To establish a heart for the world, and a life for the people? From what I see, you are just a A layman who wants to get rich!"

Zheng Michang remained silent.

Lu Wanling's voice was stern: "There is a saying in the imperial court that because officials are corrupt, it has been heard from time to time, and they set up a special fund to support honest officials. The annual Yanglian silver is 1000 taels, and the Yanglian silver in your hands is combined with your salary for a total of 100 taels!"

"A farmer can live for 220 years!"

Lu Wanling said coldly: "Zheng Michang, I am asking you, did the imperial court not give you your salary this year? County magistrates present, I am asking you, is the imperial court missing your salary this year?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, for a moment, you look at me, I look at you, no one is good to speak out.

"Li Youcai!"

The county magistrate whose name was called by Lu Wanling shuddered.

He hurriedly stood up and said: "Young officer Li You has just met your lord!"

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

Li Youcai immediately said respectfully, "My lord, no!"

"Then this year the imperial court gave you the Yanglian silver, but it fell into your hands?" Lu Wanling continued to ask.

"Return to your lord, all the government's support for the government will be distributed!" Li Youcai replied.

"I want to ask you, has anyone among you not received the imperial court's salary and maintenance money?" Lu Wanling's voice became louder and louder.

"Go back to your lord, no!"

When a group of people look at me and I look at you, they all answer honestly.

Many of them also engaged in apportionment.

This reason is also quite sufficient.

do not take white do not take

It is said that the government is forcing the people to rebel, isn't this the rebellion yet?
As long as you don't rebel, as long as this matter doesn't make a big splash, and the money falls into your own pocket, it belongs to you.

Only, no one thought of it.

The imperial court is playing for real this time.

This group of dog officials who fill in on the spot, one counts one by one, and none of them are idle.

There is one more key reason to keep reaching.

That is, the big guys don't trust the court that much.

After all, over 200 years.

It doesn't matter that Lao Zhu's salary is small, and later there is a cheating system. From top to bottom, all civil and military officials lack trust in the court.

A little bit is a little bit.

After I retire, I have to have a lot of money in my hand, and my family has to have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. In short, this official can't be done for nothing.

They also don't believe that Zhu Youxiao can really be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who dares to be greedy and kill.

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

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

With the second time, there will be the third time.

There are only zero and countless times.

Dog Emperor is somewhat addictive.

Lu Wanling's eyes fell on Zheng Michang, and his voice was indifferent: "Zheng Michang, can you say it again? Are all the civil and military men in the Manchu dynasty dressed like beasts?"

Zheng Michang was just silent,
"It's not that the imperial court refuses to give you a salary, nor does it refuse to support you with money!"

Lu Wanling's voice suddenly became louder: "It's you, it's you, your desires are hard to fill, it's you who are greedy, you are self-righteous, and you are harming the people, and now you still have to argue, saying that wearing this official robe, you and I are not beasts , today I will tell you, I am not an official, there are many officials in the Ming Dynasty!"

At this moment, Lu Wanling looked upright and awe-inspiring.

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

Everyone felt that this master is definitely not a good master to serve.

"Like you are such a well-dressed beast, one of the courts arrests one, and the fate of a corrupt official is just like you, Zheng Michang. Don't stretch out your hand, you will catch it!"

Lu Wanling said coldly: "Even if one day, I become a beast in clothes like you, it's the same, no one can escape!"

"it is good!"

The onlookers applauded one after another.

"Zheng Michang, you just plead guilty, arrest Zheng Michang and send him to the capital!" Lu Wanling stood up, as if a dark cloud had shrouded everyone's heart, and he said slowly: "Give it to me!" The emperor decides, the Ministry of Punishment will discuss crimes, Zheng Michang, the emperor wants to deal with corruption, and in this new policy, those who corrupt more than 3000 taels of silver will be stripped of their skins!!"

Long live, long live!
The people began to cheer.

"Okay, back out!"

Lu Wanling said lightly.

And all the magistrates were sweating profusely, and it wasn't that hot this day, but in this lobby, they felt as if they had fallen into the dog days.

The gate of the county government closed.

Lu Wanling glanced at the crowd, and then slowly said: "My lords, the emperor's new policy is aimed at curbing corruption and abuse. All my lords have read poems and books, read books of sages, and listened to the words of sages. Now the imperial court is giving compensation to all officials. As the name suggests, I hope that everyone can be honest, but now the apportionment of the Zhending Mansion is more than seventeen times the amount set by the emperor, why?!"

Suddenly, Lu Wanling slapped the table, and the loud sound made all the county magistrates present shudder, and they all looked at Lu Wanling in fear.

And Lu Wanling's voice also became severe: "The people are suffering, the people are struggling to live, how many people are criticizing and slandering the New Deal, your salary, the people's fat and the people's anointment, has the imperial court treated you badly? Have the people treated you badly? You are worthy of yourselves for squeezing and exploiting the power of the people like this. Are you worthy of your own government? Don’t you feel a little bit ashamed?"

A group of people are all silent and ashamed, it is absolutely impossible to be ashamed.

It's more about fear.

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

Now it's an interrogation, God knows what will happen to me, if I play a game, I was escorted to the capital, and my skin was peeled off by the way, what should I do?
Lu Wanling glanced at the crowd, and his voice became more and more severe: "Is it the emperor's fault? Zhending Mansion used to charge an extra one or two or six renminbi for remittance, but now, it only needs to charge an extra four or five renminbi. The burden on the common people should be reduced, why did Zheng Michang dare to intensify it?"

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

These dog officials, none of their buttocks are clean.

Will everyone be escorted to the capital?

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

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

Lu Wanling's voice began to soften: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty must reflect on themselves. Zheng Michang bullied the sky and increased the apportionment. This move is a way to harm the country and the people. I think this person's behavior has nothing to do with you adults. I received some consumption, but I was also deceived by Zheng Michang!"

Lu Wanling changed the subject, but it made people eat a mouthful of ice in midsummer, only to feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

At that moment, Li Youcai said quickly: "Your Excellency's words are very true. We are all oppressed by Zheng Michang. This Zheng Michang is really a beast. How can we do things that harm the people when we take the money from the imperial court to maintain integrity?" The thing is that this Zheng Michang forced the subordinate officials to adopt more Lian Yinzi!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Many officials also woke up like a dream, and all of them put the charges on Zheng Michang's head.

"All right!"

Lu Wanling said lightly: "Now that the official is here, the money collected should be returned to the people, and the extra cocoons, cocoons, and shuttles should all be returned to the people!"

The county magistrates were a little dumbfounded.

money back?
The government has always collected money, when will the money be refunded?

When did such a new thing pop out under the sun?
Lu Wanling said lightly: "Anyone who is greedy for ink will be severely punished. You are the parents and officials of the people. How can you watch the people suffer and suffer?"

"What the lord said is very true!"

Li Yousan jumped out first, and quickly said: "It is the benevolent government of the imperial court to return the envy to the public. This Zheng Michang is greedy and hard to fill. He took the people's money and naturally returned it to the people. Only in this way can we show the benevolence of the emperor." De!"

"That's right, that's right!" Another official jumped out and said quickly, "My Emperor Rende, this money must be refunded!

"Yes, yes, refund, refund, money must be refunded, the emperor is benevolent, the emperor is wise!"

A group of people started to flatter.

But Lu Wanling said coldly: "Everyone, I have the emperor's secret decree. If something goes wrong, I can take you down first, and then review your crimes one by one. You can also check first and play later, I am easy to talk, the emperor is not so easy to talk!"

"I also hope that my lords will enforce the law impartially, and return the money that should be refunded to the people, lest I turn against you!"

How dare a group of people say half a word more.

It's creepy to think of skinning and stuffing grass

Afterwards, the entire Zhending Mansion began to take action.

Get your money back!
Except for posting notices.

The content of this notice is also as simple and straightforward as possible, so that people at all levels of the county government in Zhending Prefecture can understand it.

And the people of Zhending Mansion are already dumbfounded.

I have always seen the government asking for money, but when have I seen the government refunding the money?
You charged so much money, and now you have to return it all?
