People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 278 Ha! Civil servant! It’s just a dog you can keep with money!

After the old man stood up, he said something unpleasant.

Many people are scolding this old man in their hearts, because they want to know how much official salaries are now.

Everyone's gains from corruption can only be used secretly and they dare not take it out.

On the surface, the emperor finally began to sympathize with his ministers. After completing the task, he actually directly rewarded him with gold and silver.

Although this method is not as touching as emotional communication, it can still comfort people's hearts.

The Minister of Industry was even thinking about what to do with the one thousand taels of silver.

Buying a house, land, and enjoying luxury is a given.

In the past, he had also accepted some benefits from officials below, but the money could not be used openly. Instead, he had to be afraid that one day he would be exposed and his life would be lost.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has personally rewarded you with a thousand taels of silver, you can be unscrupulous.

But at this moment, the old man, the Minister of Rites, stood up to object, which made many officials angry.

You're the only one with a mouth, right?
You are the only one who is arrogant, right?

You are just loyal and patriotic, right?

Who doesn't like Bai Yin?
Now that the imperial court has an extra two hundred thousand taels of silver, it was all found from profiteers and corrupt officials. Can't everyone use it together?

You, this old man, insist on standing up and objecting at this time, what do you mean?
Emperor Wanli looked at the Minister of Rites. Although he had just been promoted, from the information obtained by Jin Yiwei, it seemed that this old thief was not an honest man.

Or speaking of the Ming Dynasty at this time, when officials reached the level of being able to go to court, it was impossible to have an honest person.

This old guy is probably just fishing for fame. He has probably already made enough money and doesn't need to receive any additional benefits.

Furthermore, he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, which had few opportunities except for receiving some gray income from the imperial examinations.

But judging from the current environment, the imperial examination will also be delayed, at least this year's Enke examination will not be available.

So he couldn't see others being kind, so he stood up.

"Your Majesty, the officials in our court are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic, considerate of the people, and make decisions for the people. They will never be tempted by gold and silver. Their salaries are enough, so why do they need additional rewards.

Let me tell you, if you ask your Majesty to reward you with silver every time you do something, isn't that living for money? This is not the moral integrity that an official should have. "

As soon as he said this, he fully demonstrated his high integrity, but many officials rolled their eyes.

Of course you, old guy, have nothing to do in the Ministry of Etiquette, but everyone in our various departments has a heavy burden on them.

Who doesn’t want to be rewarded?
But at the current level, it is very difficult to take a step up. A little silver is available, and that is enough to comfort people.

His Majesty finally did something good this time. What the hell are you doing?

Even Zhang Juzheng felt that it was a bit excessive for the Minister of Rites to say such a thing.

Emperor Wanli applauded the Minister of Rites from the dragon chair, "Well said, so well said. You are really dedicated to serving the people. Even I feel ashamed.

It seems that the real loyalty must be He Shangshu.

In this way, in the future, all departments will be rewarded for completing their performance on time, but only the Rites Department will not need to be rewarded.

As He Shangshu said, this is the duty of being an official. It is enough to receive a salary, why bother to receive a bonus?

I think it's pretty good, pretty good. What do you guys think? "

The officials below almost burst into laughter when they heard the emperor's words.

They all have a feeling in their hearts that His Majesty the Emperor seems to be more and more similar to Chen Han. Sure enough, this trick of using evil methods is the best way to relieve people's anger.

Ministry of Rites, don’t you, an old bastard, like to sing high-profile?
Then Your Majesty will let you sing!
Haha ...

Seeing the pig liver-like face of the Minister of Rites, everyone cursed in their hearts: He deserves it!
The other officials breathed a sigh of relief and became even more motivated.

Since things are done well, there will be money to get. Anyway, there is a test method to suppress it, and the pressure is over, then of course you have to get the money too.

So the officials bowed down one after another: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

Only the Minister of Rites stood there blankly, extremely embarrassed.

He originally wanted to be in the limelight, but he didn't expect that he was indeed in the limelight. I'm afraid this will be something his subordinates will hate to death in the future. At the end of the court, the minister of the Ministry of Industry was very tired. He couldn't get dozens of kilograms of silver by himself, so his colleagues stepped forward one after another to share the pressure for him.

This guy held the silver ingot happily, and ran to the Minister of Rites and asked: "He Minister, can you help me carry the silver away with you?"

Angrily, He Shangshu blew his beard and glared, flicking his robe: "A straight child is not enough to make a plan!"

The royal guards saw all this and went back to report it. Emperor Wanli was very happy.

He thought in his heart: Why making decisions for the people is not all about money. Since money can buy your loyalty, I will just keep a bunch of dogs.

……

On his way back to Beijing, Chen Han passed by Nanjing Prefecture in South Zhili.

On a whim, he stopped in Nanjing and planned to pay homage to Taizu's tomb.

However, as soon as he arrived, he saw something surprising.

It turns out that the magistrate of Shangyuan County arrested an arrogant and domineering playboy.

What did this person do?

He raped women in the street, who also had husbands.

Not only was this thief arrogant and domineering, he also pulled out a knife and stabbed the husband to death.

Shangyuan County immediately arrested him and brought him to justice.

The magistrate of Shangyuan County is a very upright man, and he will be put on trial soon.

"Li Jialiang, do you admit to killing someone on the street?"

Li Jialiang snorted, "What can I do if I kill him? I'm just a civilian, what can you do to me?"

His attitude was very arrogant and arrogant.

The people watching outside the hall were gnashing their teeth in anger. They had never seen such an arrogant person.

The magistrate of Shangyuan County was also shocked: "You are so bold. Since you have admitted to the murder and there are both witnesses and material evidence, I will pronounce the sentence now..."

As he spoke, the master next to him immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, please don't be confused."

As a master, he has been in Shangyuan County much longer than the newly appointed magistrate of Shangyuan County. As soon as he saw Li Jialiang, he knew who he was.

The magistrate of Shangyuan County glanced at the master and asked, "Why can't we sentence him?"

All the people believed that since the evidence was conclusive, the death penalty must be imposed.

Although he couldn't be beheaded immediately, he had to be beheaded by Queen Qiu.

This master should see it more clearly in court, why he still defends the murderer.

The people have begun to hate this master.

The magistrate of Shangyuan County was also very angry.

The master said in the Shangyuan County Magistrate's ear: "Sir, he has a background and is very strong. You can't lose your own future for the sake of ordinary people."

The magistrate of Shangyuan County is a young official with a strong temper. How can he watch people being killed in broad daylight and ignore them.

He immediately gave a slap in the face and shouted loudly, "You can't kill people and set fires regardless of your background. If such people are not punished, then where is the law of the Ming Dynasty?"

When the people heard this, they looked at the master and became even more angry.

Chen Han was also outside incognito watching this scene. He also wanted to know, what is the background of that playboy?
But he saw the dandy laughing loudly: "I think this little seventh-grade county magistrate of yours is about to come to an end. Let me tell you, my uncle is Master Guangzhi, the abbot of the royal temple Longxing Temple.
How can you, a small county magistrate, control my uncle?

His old man's words would make even the entire Southern Zhili officials look down on him, let alone a small seventh-grade county magistrate like you. "

When the people present heard this, their expressions darkened and they fell silent.

The abbot of Longxing Temple has a very high status. The woman kneeling on the ground now cannot win this lawsuit...

Second update! !
