Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Twenty million silver?" Yang Zhi was so shocked that the chopsticks he had just picked up fell on the table once again.

Li Tuo sneered, "Is this considered more than enough? In the 24 provinces of Daqing, other than Xinjiang, Tibet and Mongolia, which province was not allowed to spend this money? "Especially in the more prosperous areas of Jiangnan and Shuangguang, more than half of them are available …"

"On average, they really don't have much money. A single province only has around a million or so. Those daoyin are all so fat that they are overflowing with oil. Isn't that worth millions or even tens of millions?"

"The Icemountain Reverence is only a small part of the capital's wealth. Actually, the Icemountain Reverence is already considered as a half-washed money. The imperial government doesn't even consider this money as corruption. The last account I mentioned is really a bribe!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Brother, do you look down on us? Do you think little officials the size of flies and green beans don't have the money to earn money? Do you think that no one will give us money at all? "

"Absolutely wrong! "I'll tell you the truth today, the smaller the status quo, the more important it is for us to change history!"

In the darkness of the night, only one room of the Gemeinschaft's house was lit up, the children on the street were running around with lanterns in their hands, firecrackers and incense in their hands, the snow in the corner was filled with firecrackers, the incense was lit up with a crackling sound, and then came the laughter of the people.

The entire Beijing was immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the New Year. According to the old saying, even the most ferocious people would have to kindly speak words of praise during the new year, in order to bring good fortune to the new year.

Therefore, this month, even usurpers were not allowed to chase after debts. On the contrary, they had to give some rice to the borrowers who couldn't live on. The importance of the New Year to the Chinese people could be seen from this.

But in such a joyous and happy festival, Yang Zhi actually had a profound political lesson, the lesson's name was Official Records.

"The betrothal gift is a big deal, how many foreign officials want to give gifts to the officials in the capital to raise their status? Many poor officials would rather borrow some money from the capital to get rich, those who are guilty want to spend money to get free, those who aren't guilty want to pay for their money to get promoted …"

"What's so special about the prince? Take our Prince Kung for example. The imperial government would reward us with double the amount of salary. The annual salary of the prince was only slightly more than ten thousand taels of silver. Asking the evil spirit to eat six servings with an additional reward was more than thirty thousand taels of silver, right? But to such a large Gong Wang Palace, thirty thousand taels won't even be enough for one year's worth of rewards! "

"What are you waiting for if not for corruption? The Wang Family's newly bought theater team is posting their gifts and rewards. The prince is also going to set up a manor outside of the capital and earn a profit by buying shares in a business in Jiangnan. Otherwise, he will starve to death! "

After Li Tuo finished speaking, the zingiberis radix continued to speak, "I can set up a few tables to make it up to you, even if you want to marry or if you want to buy a dog … It's not over yet, we still have money to earn from this! "

"Has anyone ever heard of this term?" Haha, it seems like you've never heard of it … Ministers, especially Foreign ministers, would usually send a report to the competent authorities to request approval of the Emperor. This' Ministry of Public Affairs' issue has a huge impact on the success or failure of the case, so people concerned would usually send over a 'regular fee' to clear the joints. "

"Also, the official salary that the imperial court reimbursed is a bottomless pit. Should we allocate some food and military salaries for the war?" A million's military expenses had been paid out of the Ministry of Revenue, so shouldn't he get a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand in pay? "If you can take away 1.2 million taels of silver from the Yongding River, I'll call you grandpa …"

"It's all a regular fee, even if Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to collect some wood, they would still have a regular fee, but that kind of small amount of money is called kickbacks …"

Li Tuo waved his hand: "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, the water in here is really too deep, speaking of it for three days and three nights wouldn't end well … Let's not talk about those big shots that are dressed like beasts first, let's talk about our little minor official's ways of survival! "

"In the past, Big Brother Yang might have looked down on us minor official s, but I repeat, sometimes many great things that change the history are changed by us minor official s, such as …"

Li Tuo's ancestral home, to be able to enter the Military Intelligence Service, was recommended by his fellow villager, Master Li. However, Li Tuo had actually grown up in the house of his relative in the capital, and had been living in the capital since he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

He understood the ways of the Beijing too clearly, the black and white, gray and white were not things he did not understand, do you want to sell? You want to buy the bad guys? He can make a few connections for you.

Now that he had eaten Military Intelligence Service Zhang Jing's golden rice bowl, this allowed him to have a seat in the gray area between black and white.

Right now, Li Tuo was not lacking in money at all. He was living a very comfortable life, but he was very clear about his own identity. minor official could never hold up the sky, they would always be wrapped in a big tree, a rattan tree that could support them no matter how strong they were.

He did not know what Li Tuo and the zingiberis radix were thinking, but they had actually placed the treasure on Yang Zhi, which was why he had heard about these unprecedented secrets tonight.

Li Tuo's face was close to the candle, the light and light intersecting made his face look extremely sinister. You've heard of it, haven't you? Gu Ming and eight ministers, you should know about it, right? "

"But you only know the words on the surface. What is the trick behind it? What's the use of us minor official? "I'm afraid you would never even dream about it …"

Following after Li Tuo and the zingiberis radix's gloomy voices, the battle for power between the Qing Dynasty that shocked the world eight years ago appeared in front of Yang Zhi with a completely new face, and the main character of the story was the renowned Military Secretary Su Shun.

Su Shun was a true descendant of the Luo clan, the son of Prince Zheng. His status could be said to be extremely noble. However, Su Shun was just an idle sect in the Dao Guang Dynasty, he did not have any actual position, in truth, he did not have any power to take on the title of a maester in the Cabinet or as the commander of the troops.

Why couldn't Su Shun use it again? In the end, this person's temper was not good and he was so arrogant that he had no friends. Not only did he look down on the servants and minor official, he even looked down on the powerful personnel within Manchu.

At that time, Su Shun's catchphrase was, useless! Do you think that people who curse the streets of the Forbidden City every day will have a good relationship with others?

However, this Su Shun who did not have any good connections, after the death of the Dao Guang Emperor, had entered the eyes of the Xian Feng Emperor, and even received great benefits along the way.

His roots were still messed up by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
