Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Speaking of Liu Yushi, it is really difficult to deal with him.  If they hadn't known that this inspection was related to the evaluation of the Censor himself, and most importantly, the salary that Liu Censor would receive at the end of the year, Magistrate Luo and others would have almost thought that this guy was the reincarnation of Bao Zheng, and Hai Rui was second!

    Please have dinner, don¡¯t go!  Please go to the brothel to recite poems and write poems. Sorry, I don¡¯t have time!  Please give me a small gift Then Liu Yushi's eyes immediately widened. What do you mean?  Are you planning to seal it with something, or are you planning to drag his innocent Liu Yushi into trouble?  There is no way!  Poor Zhang County Cheng, because he sent a calligraphy and painting worth less than a hundred taels, Liu Yushi took advantage of him and sent him a letter of impeachment. Within ten days, the court document came down: dismissed from office.  Investigate!  [com]

    Good guy, if you give me some money, you will be dismissed from your post and investigated. If it is found that there are problems with taxation, wouldn't it mean that everyone will be executed?  All the officials in Shanghai County were astonished, and they lived cautiously with their tails between their legs, fearing that Liu Yushi would catch an oversight and use it as a good material for promotion and wealth.

    In less than ten days, Liu Yushi visited no less than a hundred households, caught three corrupt officials, and helped solve several outstanding old cases.  On the eleventh day, Liu Yushi came back, and his expression softened a lot.  Before Magistrate Luo could say anything, the master actually held a banquet for a group of Shanghai County officials.

    During the dinner, Liu Yushi complained repeatedly, saying that it was official business and he was not allowed to engage in corruption, so he had offended everyone these days.  Then he said that the return of Huo Huo to the public was an important move of the imperial court and should not be taken lightly.  After these days of detailed inspections and visits, Liu Yushi was very satisfied with the tax collection work in Shanghai County.  The date set by the court was almost here, and it was time for him to pack up and head to the next place.

    Hearing this, everyone was relieved.  The spirit that had been tense for the past half month was relaxed, and the banquet was naturally much more unrestrained.  After seeing off Liu Yushi, the Plague Star, before everyone could take a breath, Sun Yushi came next.

    Good guy, this Sun Yushi and the former Liu Yushi, except for their different looks, they are basically the same father and mother!  Exactly the same dark face, exactly the same inhumanity.  In official circles, at the turn of the year, Sun Yushi seemed to have no idea at all.  Without reading the evaluation left by Liu Yushi, he said a few words in a cold voice with a dark face and left in a hurry.

    After that, another Huang Yushi came, and this one was even more outstanding.  No greeting at all, just an incognito interview.  Just because Shanghai County officials implemented the fire consumption policy well under the constraints of Luo County Magistrate, even so, the number of petty officials in the yamen who were found to be at fault accounted for less than half of the total!

    This month's situation is like passing through a sieve, and the mesh of this sieve is getting smaller and smaller.  Not only must we be careful in collecting current taxes, we must also be careful in sorting out old accounts from the past.  If you are careless and take even one wrong step, you will end up in a place of eternal destruction.  The magistrates of Luo County are relatively good, but the magistrates of several surrounding counties and even the capital city have been in a state of chaos this month.

    The Jiading County Magistrate Chen did not take the official documents of the imperial court seriously at all. He went his own way and still set the fire consumption at 30%.  As a result, his complexion changed as soon as the angel came, and he hurriedly stopped the leak.  This side of the car was delaying the angel's schedule, and the other side of the house hurriedly sent a master to check the accounts and return the overcharged fuel consumption door to door.  Not only did they return the overcharge, but in order to seal the deal, they often offered a lot of benefits.  Or serving as a servant, or providing money and food, or taking care of one or two things in a lawsuit.  I was so busy with work that I found all the mistakes, so I let the angel go down to investigate.

    The county magistrate Chen had such a good idea, but he didn't expect that there was an angel detained in the yamen. Another angel had sneaked into Jiading early. In the moonlight, he had already written all kinds of evidence into black materials. He wrote a memorial and went straight to it.  Chen Zhixian dismissed him from his post and investigated.  A few days later, the newly appointed Jiading County Magistrate arrived together with the dismissal documents.  With this efficiency and this method, even a blind person can see that the court is serious this time.

    Those who are officials are fine, but the petty officials are miserable.  If he raises taxes on his own initiative, and if his corruption exceeds five taels, he will be dismissed from his post and will never be hired.  If it exceeds 20 taels, it will be sent to Qiongzhou Prefecture directly; if it exceeds 50 taels, it will be sent to the prison.

    In the recent imperial newspaper, Ma Shiying¡¯s bitch couldn¡¯t wait to jump out and shouted the slogans of ¡®Integrity Storm¡¯ and ¡®Zero Tolerance for Corruption¡¯.

    In this sad scene, Mr. Qian walked over with a bitter look on his face and raised his hands to Magistrate Luo: "Dong Weng, Censor Zhou, please move to the main hall and speak."

    Magistrate Luo was shocked: "But what was found wrong?"

    Master Qian kept shaking his head: "It would have been found out long ago Besides, Dong Weng has never made any mistakes." After a pause, Master Qian suddenly remembered something and said: "A group of Wu Yijun came to the inn last night.  There are several large boxes being escorted, I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s the reason.¡±

    "Big box?" Magistrate Luo thought for a while.?, I feel it should have nothing to do with me.  Since he took office, he has governed by doing nothing, and has a good reputation among the people.  To be fair, my concubine's brother was the only one who behaved a bit mischievously.  But in the past few months, that kid has been hanging out on the Bund all day long, and he hasn't done anything to bully men and dominate women. I don't think he will be impeached for this.

    After some more reflection, Magistrate Luo felt confident that there was nothing omitted, and then walked straight to the front hall.  When I got to the front hall and took a look, I saw Zhou Yushi sitting with a golden sword. There were two large boxes in front of him. He was surrounded by Wu Yi officers and soldiers with loaded guns. He looked very majestic.  Looking further down, there are all the officials, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the six documents, and even the government servants and grooms. There are more than a hundred people crowded in the lobby.  Everyone bowed and held their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.

    That week, when the censor met Magistrate Luo, he managed to squeeze out a smile.  He briefly praised Magistrate Luo for his obedient behavior in carrying out the imperial decree without compromise, and then waved: "Open the box!"

    Two sergeants stepped forward, opened the lock, and opened it suddenly.  In an instant, the originally dark front hall suddenly glowed!  I saw that the box was filled with silver coins.

    "ThisMaster Zhou, what does this mean?" Magistrate Luo was confused.

    Zhou Yushi plans to bribe him?  impossible.  He is a dignified sixth-grade censor and a serious first-class Jinshi. Why do you want to bribe your own official?

    Magistrate Luo didn't allow Magistrate Luo to think about it for long. The censor Zhou put down his tea bowl, took out a stack of documents from his sleeves, and said slowly: "Shanghai County taxes have been verified to be correct, and a new salary should be issued. According to the new standards, Luo  The county magistrate should distribute the silver, one thousand two hundred taels. Come on, take it out and hand it to Magistrate Luo."

    A sergeant agreed and checked the piles one by one. In a short time, a lot of them were picked out.  It was placed on a tray and carried by two sergeants in front of the astonished Magistrate Luo.

    It wasn¡¯t until the money crashed in front of him that poor Magistrate Luo woke up from the shock.  For a moment, his face turned red and his eyes widened. He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the pile of silver coins in front of him. He looked like he had seen a ghost and asked uncertainly: "Master Zhou this this is all  Is it for the subordinate?"

    That Zhou Yushi nodded with a smile.

    The next moment, Magistrate Luo suddenly jumped up.  joke!  After being a county magistrate for several years, he had seen thousands of taels of silver, but it was either deposited in the treasury or gray income. When had he ever received so much salary openly?  In his excitement, Magistrate Luo completely forgot that the pile of silver coins in front of him weighed a full 45 kilograms, and he stretched out his arms to lift it up.  But after trying for a long time, the tray didn't move at all.

    After a while, when he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yushi's joking eyes, Magistrate Luo coughed quickly: "The official lost his composure for a moment, he lost his composure for a moment"

    That week, the censor was not surprised. He just joked a few times and continued to distribute the salary.

    After the Luo County magistrate comes the county magistrate, and after the county magistrate comes the chief registrar, and after that there are the historians, clerks, and minor officials.  The dignified man pretended to be reserved, silently calculating in his mind how much he could receive.  The unworthy man was jealous when he saw the large amount received by the superior officer, and then he was busy discussing with his colleagues around him how much they could pay out.

    As expected, not only the salary of the county magistrate increased tenfold, but also that of the officials.  After receiving the heavy salary, even the harsh classics made his mouth open, and his molars were exposed with joy.  As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.  I studied hard in the cold window and worked hard, and finally became an official. In the end, I couldn't even support my family. Who would do it?

    The day before, everyone had scolded Ma Shiying bloody, saying that Lao Ma was crazy and deliberately refused to give them a way out as officials.  Now, with the heavy silver cake in his hand, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.  Everyone began to praise Lao Ma's move as a virtuous policy of caring for his subordinates.

    Although the income from corruption and the like is high, the risks are also high.  It is necessary to manage things from top to bottom, but also to guard against leaks, and even more to be careful of the jealousy of enemies.  If one of them is not good, if someone stabs him, he will be killed, and his head will be saved.  But now that an upright person can receive so much salary, which is enough to support a large family, who would bother to go out of his way to get rich?

    The ones who received the silver coins were very excited and shouted that they would be hosting today before leaving the house. Those who were familiar with each other and those who were not familiar with each other went with them; the stingier ones laughed and made up their minds to cut a few kilograms of meat, buy a pot of old wine and go home.  They celebrated happily; the pretentious ones counted out some silver coins and wondered which brothel they should go to tonight; some, like Magistrate Luo, considered not dismissing the master for the time being, and maybe they could marry if they saved a little bit.  A concubine in one room.

    The Zhou Yushi who handed out the salary no longer had the cold face of the past. Behind the smile, his heart had already flown back to the capital.  The seventh grade county magistrateWith such a huge salary, how could he, a sixth-grade censor, have less than this?

    The crowd gradually dispersed, and no one was afraid of the angel anymore. On the contrary, most of the officials were already looking forward to the angel's visit to Shanghai County again.  ro!  .
