Chapter 566

After this matter was settled, a group of people walked out from the back door of the government office in order not to attract the attention of the common people, and then continued to go shopping and visit privately.

In particular, I asked the common people their views on the previous Yellow River disaster.

As Si Ye expected, the prosperity that we see now is just brought up by the local officials when they got the news. It wasn't like this before the emperor came, the common people just barely had enough to eat.

They found a private room in a restaurant to sit down and rest their feet.

After the waiter waiter finished ordering, he joked, "My lord, do you see the scenery now? The food and clothing of the common people are not bad, right? That's because you are taking the official road! And what kind of place is this? Provincial capital! You don’t have to go to those remote and impoverished villages when you go to other places... Just don’t take this official road, you can see everything you want to see clearly!”

After all, the guy wiped the table with a rag and turned around to leave.

The Thirteenth Lord has also come out several times. He has heard and heard some news, but he only listened to the ministers complaining about it, and he only heard it by accident. Now that he asks it carefully, the shock in his heart is very strong. big.

He thought that everything they saw must have been covered up, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big!

"This bunch of dog officials!" The Thirteenth Lord gritted his teeth and slapped the table angrily: "Huang Ama is kind, and puts the people first in everything. If there is a disaster, he will take money from the treasury as soon as possible, and the amount is not enough." At least, this year I even simplified the New Year’s Eve banquet to save money, but I didn’t expect these corrupt officials to stab me in the back!”

Gu Youran was also thoughtful while hugging the little guy.

The common people suffered disasters but did not receive reasonable care. Who was the first to scold?It must be the emperor Lao Tzu!

The world is controlled by the emperor. Everyone knows that the emperor has money. They pay taxes every year to support the national treasury. Now they are suffering as if they were abandoned by the country. They have fallen to such a miserable situation. The first one to grit his teeth and resent There is no one but the emperor.

Coupled with the fact that Lord Kangxi has been on tour so frequently in the past two years, the common people must feel that the emperor is not only inconsiderate and unkind, but also so extravagant, which makes their lives difficult.

They also don't know what Lord Kangxi has done for them behind the scenes, and they don't know that the treasury is already empty, and the emperor squeezed money out of his teeth to give them money, so their dissatisfaction with the emperor is only because of the coercion of power , This kind of resentment has not spread to the point of complaining.

The existence of corrupt officials caused the common people to misunderstand the emperor, and the more corrupt they were, the more this contradiction would be intensified.

Therefore, a moth in a country is far more terrifying than a tiger as an enemy.

Gu Youran couldn't help but think that the two emperors, Kangxi and Qianlong, must have made frequent tours, and Lord Yongzheng had the least tours, except for wandering around the capital, he hardly ever went out.

She used to think that Lord Yongzheng's reputation among the common people was not very good, because he engaged in literary inquisition and was blackmailed by the literati. It is estimated that countless killers will kill him as soon as he goes out.

But thinking about it now, this may be only one aspect, the most important and even the root cause is the large expenditure of the tour itself.

After the death of Lord Kangxi, the treasury was like an empty shell, and Lord Yongzheng became the hardest debt collector emperor in history.

It may be precisely because of this that he is worried about the various negative effects of his tours, so he reduces the number of tours, or even does not go on tours.
