The rebirth of the poisonous concubine is charming and sweet

Chapter 1503 Many People Don't Understand

Although the voice was weak, it sounded like thunder to Guo Jingzhi's ears.

This happened just yesterday, and he also specially told the servants in the mansion not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would make them look good.

All the servants in the mansion have signed contracts of selling themselves, and their lives are in the hands of the Guo family, so they dare not go out to gossip casually, and since yesterday's accident until he went out this morning, no servants in the mansion have gone out.

In this cold weather, even the food delivery person only came to the door every two days.

Where did His Majesty get the news?
So the Shangshu Mansion, which looks like an iron bucket, is like a vegetable market in the eyes of His Majesty. If you want any news, just listen to it with your ears.

Guo Jing's back was dripping with cold sweat, and many shrewd courtiers in the court were also terrified.

Something happened to the Guo Mansion, but they didn't even know about it.

Your Majesty is really sharp.

Your Majesty has eyeliner in the Guo family, but what about in your own mansion?
From now on, even in your own home, you have to be careful.

Wei Shu was still waiting for the answer, Guo Jingzhi didn't dare to be negligent, and buried his head even lower: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that I punished the seventh aunt, but this is all the fault of the humble minister, who is not strict in governing the family. Such a joke will be made, and please forgive me!"

Yesterday Guo Qian reminded in every possible way: No matter what His Majesty says tomorrow, you will take the blame on yourself.

"This humble minister neglects to teach his wives, concubines and children, and that's why he made a big mistake and caused His Majesty to worry. Damn this humble minister!"

Guo Jingzhi kowtowed as he spoke.

Wei Shu raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and said with a tired expression, "It's not going to kill you. I think it's like this. I'll pay a three-month salary, and the reward money at the end of this year will be rushed into the treasury to scare others. Guo Aiqing thinks how?"

Guo Jingzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your majesty's tolerance, I will do my best to share your majesty's worries today!"

Wei Shuen let out a sigh, and glanced coldly at all the faces in the hall, and said, "It's your duty to share my worries, but it's also your responsibility to take care of your own home!"

"You are all people I value. Not only do you have to set an example in the court, but you also have to be rigorous in managing your family. Don't let the common people see the joke!"

All the courtiers agreed.

After Wei Shu came to power, he reformed the previous salary system.

The officials in Dayue before, the monthly income was not high. In a place like Yecheng, relying on the monthly income to support a family is just a dream.

This also leads to corruption.

People eat whole grains, so they naturally have desires.

Wei Shu sat on the throne of God. Based on Su Luo's suggestion, he improved the treatment of officials, and remodeled an old street in Yecheng, built some standard houses,

It is for those low-level officials who have taken the imperial examination from other places and are finally able to stay as Beijing officials and have no business in Yecheng.

Don't underestimate this group of people.

Right now they may just be editors of the Hanlin Academy, a big official position.

But the future ministers and prime ministers all came out of this group of people.

To be honest, one has to start from the root.

With a house, a big problem is solved, and then the monthly rate is increased, and at the end of the year, according to the performance evaluation, a corresponding proportion of "bonuses" will be issued.

In this way, it will not be a problem for Yueyin to reach a well-off level in Ye City after one year.

Today's treasury is much more abundant than when the first emperor was in power.

Firstly, there are many fewer people in the harem, there are only a few masters, and the number of slaves is nearly half, which naturally reduces a lot of expenses.This part can be saved.

Secondly, Su Luo is good at management. To be precise, Shen Cong should be good at management.

Su Luo handed over the idle money in the treasury to Shen Cong, and money made money, so the treasury was filling day by day.

When most officials entered the court, they had the ideal of serving the country and benefiting the people, but reality forced them to gradually join forces with others.

Now that Wei Shu's high salary and honesty policy comes out, they can continue to maintain their ideals from the beginning.

But at the same time, after such a system, Wei Shu also revised the law regarding corruption.

In the hands of the first emperor, the punishment for officials was relatively mild.

For crimes such as corruption, if you return the proceeds, no matter how much you embezzle, you can basically save your life.

But Wei Shu and Su Luo felt that this was wrong.

What about getting a refund?

People are still hurt by you!
Therefore, once corruption is found, more than 1000 taels will be imprisoned for five years, and they will not be able to use it for life.

If it reaches the level of Wanliang, the officials will be beheaded, counting down three generations, and they will not be able to participate in the imperial examination.

Scholars attach great importance to the inheritance of incense, and they will only be afraid if they end up in this way.

In the first year of its implementation, some officials still took chances.

Wei Shu asked Xiao Hei to investigate carefully, found out a few cases that were particularly serious, and dealt with them severely.

He should be sent to prison, he should be beheaded, he should be exiled.

Five corrupt officials were pulled out in a row.

Since then, the courtiers know that this is not just talk, it is true.

A style of incorruptibility has gradually formed. Now that several years have passed, it is rare to say that there are no corrupt officials.

According to the practice in previous years, Guo Jingzhi's bonus at the end of the year can be as much as a year's monthly silver, so it has been flushed into the national treasury.

Fortunately, the Guo family still has a foundation, and his position has been preserved, and His Majesty's anger has been relieved a lot.

After going to court, Guo Jingzhi found that his underwear was soaked.

After crossing the threshold, he took out his veil and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Mr. Gong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who had a good relationship with him, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Don't make a sad face. If someone asks you to treat you to a drink again, I will stop you for you!"

Guo Jingzhi laughed dryly twice, and thanked him.

Not long after, a few more familiar ministers came out, and everyone gathered together to comfort and joke.

They all said that Guo Jingzhi would never pay for going out to drink together in the next three months.

Guo Jingzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

It wasn't all that he cared about the money.

However, he knew in his heart that some things should not be said thoroughly on such an occasion, and being able to come and chat with him at this time was to show his intimacy, and it didn't matter what he said.

The important thing is, just say it!

Mr. Gong lowered his voice and spoke earnestly: "I warned you at the beginning that you can take care of some things and don't take care of some things. Your Majesty knows it well! You don't stop me, do you regret it now?"

What Gong Shangshu was talking about was about drafting the harem.

Guo Jingzhi wiped his sweat again, and sighed heavily: "I regret it!"

Mr. Gong stroked his beard and smiled: "Hey, I see you really understand, but unfortunately, there are still many people in this world who don't understand!"

He slightly raised his voice, and said earnestly: "I hope some people can understand that this is His Majesty's warning!"
