People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 334 The Shang Fang sword in my hand is meant to cut down dirty officials like you! !
Xu Ning really didn't expect that the chief minister would actually talk to him like this after he came over.
At the same time, I didn't expect that this guy would blatantly protect the Wenzhou magistrate at this time.

They clearly know that if the Wenzhou prefect continues to do this, the common people will be hurt the most.

As a provincial vassal and an envoy, how could he not know these things?

He even knew very well that once the Wenzhou magistrate was allowed to do this, the people would definitely starve to death in the second year, and even countless people would rise up in the third year.

When the uprising breaks out, what will they do?
Once an uprising occurs in a place, there may be only one outcome waiting for these local officials, and that is to have their heads chopped off.

But perhaps what Xu Ning didn't expect was that this was not the issue that the chief envoy and the Wenzhou prefects had in mind.

Because they have already considered this problem and it is within the scope of their own plan.

They knew exactly what was going to happen.

Because they already know that once these 500,000 acres of land are converted from rice to mulberry, many people will definitely starve to death.

Now that Yongjia County has just passed the flood, if it contributes 100,000 acres of land at this time, it doesn't seem like much.

Perhaps by that time, they would have left the local area and gone up to high places.

They have already calculated this into their plan this time.

As for the people who starve to death, they can still use their own power to suppress them.

But how much of these 100,000 acres of land was purchased from the victims?

If the next officials cannot clean up this mess, they will be the ones whose heads are chopped off.

The victims of the disaster did not have much food and drink to begin with. After the donation of 100,000 acres of land, they could only sustain food for a while, or at most half a month. What about the remaining one or two years?
Wandering?
Where to wander?
That's where they live.

This was the lightest result they could imagine.

Silk can be exchanged for countless silks.

There will definitely be countless deaths from hunger.

And that's when they become famous.

The next governor of Wenzhou and the next chief envoy of Zhejiang will have to clean up this mess.

Don’t you want to eat or drink during this process?

The solution that comes to mind, the way back that comes to mind.

As long as the mulberry seedlings can grow in the second year, they can be exchanged for countless silks.

In other words, the plan has been implemented by that time.

How could Xu Ning not know how these guys felt?
How can you not know what these guys want to do?
So he is very angry now.

This is the question that the current Wenzhou magistrate and chief envoy think about.

They have been rated superior.

They have completed the requirements for admission into law.

If people starve to death, they will also starve to death.

He yelled: "You mediocre officials only care about immediate interests.
I have never thought about how the people will live in the future.

Do you know what it would mean to the people if you really convert half a million acres of rice into mulberry?
Even if there was no starvation that year, what would happen the next year? What about the third year?
You just want to spend two or three years starving the people to death, and then create countless silks and countless benefits.
This will cover up the evil deeds you are doing now,

You even think that the examination method is the most appropriate tool for you.

In this way, you have not only completed the above assessment of you, but also achieved political achievements.
And the next one will have to accept your mess.

Especially the Wenzhou magistrate, you are a villain,
You know very well that doing this can get approval from above, and you also know very well that under the Kao Cheng Law, if one or two years of performance is assessed,

There is no need to pay for the revolt of the common people in the third year.

Leave a mess behind and let others take the blame, while you have already been promoted.

You are no longer in this position. Do you think this matter will go away so easily? "

After Xu Ning said this, the Wenzhou magistrate's expression changed.

He didn't expect Xu Ning to be able to think of this level.

This is what they have been thinking about.

Anyway, it’s not you who dies, you’re just waiting for others to take the blame.

The chief envoy was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Xu Ning, as a military general, could actually think of this.

This is indeed the best method they are using now, and this is indeed the safest method they can think of.

Anyway, as long as the pot in the future is not yours.

The chief envoy's face softened a little: "Sir, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Now..."

Xu Ning was furious: "Don't worry, of course you high-ranking officials won't be in a hurry.
You people have no idea what kind of life ordinary people are living now.
Of course you won't be in a hurry!
Of course you won’t be in a hurry when your brains are full of fat!
You regard the lives of ordinary people as a tool for establishing political achievements, so of course you will not be in a hurry.

But what about the common people?
The common people can only starve to death before their eyes!
You guys still dare to say such nonsense in front of me,
Do you think I really don’t dare to kill you? "

Xu Ning choked and pulled out the sword in his hand, "Do you know what kind of sword this is? This is Shang Fang's sword!"
I know that I am not as high up in officialdom as you, the chief minister.

I also know that if the Wenzhou magistrate can be killed easily,
It will inevitably make many people think that our people in the Tax Audit Department do whatever we want! Arrogant and domineering people who use their power to bully others!

However, the Shangfang sword in my hand was requested by Duke Qian from His Majesty.

The purpose is to tell all the officials, no matter what level of government they are.
Anyone who dares to use the examination method as a tool for his own benefit is looking for death!

Only now do I finally understand why the local people call you officials moths.

I finally understand why the law cannot severely punish people like you.

It's because you people knowingly break the law and knowingly break the law are simply a double crime! "

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he saw the expressions of the Wenzhou prefect and the chief envoy change drastically.

The chief envoy now lost his previous arrogance and domineering attitude.

When he looked at Xu Ning, his face turned pale.

He immediately begged for mercy: "Sir, please listen to me. The matter is not so irreversible.

I can’t wait to convert half a million acres of land from rice to mulberry. What Yongjia County said is very correct.

The plan proposed by the Wenzhou prefect to convert rice into mulberry is simply a disaster for the country and the people. We are also investigating at this time.

Why do you think I want to come down?

The purpose is to see if what the Yongjia County Magistrate said is true.
We in Zhejiang Province have not yet fully implemented it, and I also think there are flaws in this matter. "

The Wenzhou prefect did not expect that the chief envoy would betray him so quickly.

Just as he was about to speak, the chief envoy had already turned around and slapped him in the face, "You are a corrupt official who is corrupt and perverting the law. I have already received a report from someone below, and I am here to investigate you." !”

Xu Ning didn't expect that the chief envoy would be so shameless...
