Seeing that the military attachés acquiesced, Lin Hao's eyebrows were full of joy, and he swept to all the civil officials:

"It's the same with civil officials, donate 5,000 taels for the first product, donate 4,000 taels for the second product, and so on, if it is less than 1,000 taels, make up a whole number and donate 1,000 taels, no problem, right?"

Many civil officials looked embarrassed when they heard this, but because the military attache wanted to donate 10,000 taels, they could only shut up and choose to acquiesce.

Lin Hao was very satisfied with their attitude, of course he knew that there were many Qing officials among the courtiers who couldn't donate so much.

But he also knows that there are many officials who are corrupt to the extreme, not to mention that a mere 50,000 taels is 500,000 taels.

He patted the dragon chair, which can be described as in a good mood:

"This evening, everyone took the silver taels to Tian Daren to register, and if they couldn't pay the silver taels, they would wait for Cao Ze to go to the house as a guest. ”

"Yes, the ministers obey!"

"Retreat. ”

Lin Hao was full of joy, the sorrow between his eyebrows disappeared completely, and he strode away.

As soon as he left, the pot exploded in the quiet court.

The military attaches stared at Qian Lao angrily, if he wasn't a veteran of the two dynasties, he would have done it with him a long time ago, but now they can only mock a few words.

"Villain! If you want to donate, you have to pull us in!"

"Some people, hypocrites!"

"Hmph, it's not easy to offend the entire court. ”

Qian Lao didn't look at them, and left directly.

My little emperor seems to be getting more and more interesting.

Although the civil officials were dissatisfied, they could only look at the back of him leaving and muttered a few words in their hearts.

Qian Lao is still so resolute in doing things, and he is not afraid of offending people.

If he hadn't been a veteran of the two dynasties, he would have died a long time ago.

......

When it was ugly that night, Lin Hao received a list of officials who had not paid enough silver taels.

He swept the names on it, and there were thirty-five people densely, and he looked at the names on it and breathed a sigh of relief, and the officials who had no money still wrote more.

He added the names of a few people in the morning, and then put away the list, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Corrupt officials, are you ready?

......

The next day, above the court.

Lin Hao swept over the faces of hundreds of officials, some frowned and were cramped and uneasy, and some were calm and unflustered.

He slowly and leisurely took out the list given by Lord Tian yesterday and shook it:

"Do you know what this is?"

The courtiers looked at each other, and many of them had their hearts raised to their throats.

"Forget it, I told you, this is the list given by Lord Tian, and the people on it have not paid enough silver taels, now I read it again, those who read it stand on the left, and those who don't read it stand on the right, Zhongqing understand?"

Lin Hao's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion at all.

"I understand. ”

The courtiers spoke in unison.

Many officials who had paid enough silver taels looked proudly at those officials who were uneasy because they had not paid enough silver taels and were secretly happy.

The eunuch's voice came out suddenly:

"Military General Chen Guang, Military General Liu Jin, Civil Official ......"

All the officials who read it consciously stood to the left, and those who were not read stood to the right one by one.

The officials on the left frowned one by one, trying to think of reasons, and to their surprise, Qian Lao didn't even pay enough silver taels.

The officials on the right looked at them with a smile on their faces, and the corners of their mouths were full of mockery.

You're done!

Lin Hao looked at the team with a huge difference in the number of people on the left and right, and smiled happily:

"What can you find?"

The courtiers looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.

A military attache on the right shouted:

"Your Majesty, they have disregarded the holy decree and should be punished!"

"That's right, it should be punished! I am not active in donating to the people, especially Qian Lao, who raised it himself, but he can't donate it. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should raid them all to see how much gold and silver they had hidden. ”

"Those who say they don't have money are pretending, I think they are all pretending!"

The other officials on the right shouted, their faces full of pride.

The officials on the left gritted their teeth with hatred, and their faces were flushed with hatred.

"We just don't have any money, Your Majesty, you have to believe us. ”

"Your Majesty, we really don't have any money, and we don't mean to pay enough. ”

Before they could say a few words, they were interrupted by the most arrogant military attache on the right:

"Your Majesty, I think they deserve to die! Disobey the holy decree is death!"

"You ......"

The official on the left was interrupted by Lin Hao's cold voice before he could utter a word:

"That's reasonable, someone came to take off all the officials on the right and put them in prison!"

The officials on the left were all frightened, and all the hopes of the little emperor in their hearts were all disillusioned, but when they heard the word "right", a touch of surprise flashed in their eyes, and no one dared to say anything.

The officer on the right looked triumphantly at the officer on the left, waiting for them to be caught, but the smile on his face when he heard the "right" was a little strange.

But they didn't care, thinking that Lin Hao had lost his words.

But when the guards rushed in and surrounded them, they were confused, stretching their necks and explaining loudly to Lin Hao.

"Your Majesty is wrong, it's wrong, it's that they didn't pay enough silver taels, not us. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I made a mistake. ”

Lin Hao looked at them coldly and said lightly:

"Is it wrong? How could I be wrong? I can't be wrong, military attache Li Ming donated 40,000 taels, and the monthly salary was only 300 taels. ”

"Civil official Chen Chen donated four thousand taels, and you only have one hundred taels...... I ask the ten of you, where did you get so much money?"

The smiles on the faces of the ten people froze, and their expressions turned to panic, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy again and again.

"Your Majesty spares your life, it's our fault. ”

"I beg Your Majesty to spare us. ”

"Your Majesty, forgive us, we know that we are wrong. ”

Lin Hao waved his hand, and the guards forcibly took off their black gauze hats that were crying wolf, and forcibly dragged them away.

Even so, they shouted that they were wronged, asking Lin Hao why his words didn't count.

Lin Hao ignored them all shouting, and watched them drag away coldly, with no superfluous expression on his face.

My original intention was to donate, but if I could find corrupt officials through this donation, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

In order to make corrupt officials come out on their own, I also deliberately said cruel words, and all officials who can't get money will be investigated.

Sure enough, these people who have ghosts in their hearts are naturally in a hurry to pay enough silver taels, and they are afraid that I will search their homes.

They really gave me face, and ten of them popped up at once.

There was no half temperature in his cold eyes, and a cold voice came out with a cold air:

"I am very satisfied with this donation, and there are at least 30 officials who can be trusted. ”

"My Emperor is wise!"

All the courtiers understood at this moment, and their backs were already soaked with sweat.

The little emperor's move was beautiful, and he was even more caught off guard.

Their hearts are up and down, and they don't know what it's like.

I don't know if they should be glad that they don't have money, or should they be glad that they are still alive?

They also had to admit that their little emperor was actually a little fox, and they were even more in awe in their hearts.

Lin Hao was very satisfied with the first battle, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Eliminate corrupt officials, go well!

"Urgent report from the north, the uprising of the people in the north has reached 100 people!"

An anxious voice came.

As soon as Lin Hao became excited, he was doused by this basin of water, and the smile on his face froze.
