NO.159 REAL LIFE IS BETTER THAN DEATH

When the New Deal was implemented, there were some obstacles. It has affected the vital interests of some people, and it will stumble if it continues to be implemented. Luo Chen didn't expect these ancients to obey him, so he didn't criticize him too harshly when he implemented the new policy.

From the very beginning of the drafting of the draft plan, Luo Chen paid great attention to the observation of the reactions of the ministers below.

Everyone is psychologically prepared for the new policy implemented by the emperor who has just been in power, but it is indeed rare to check the household department as soon as he comes up. After all, for men, it is really rare to check the accounts and check the family background.

Luo Chen not only checked, but also checked quite clearly. The money in the treasury was preliminarily budgeted and counted. A corresponding consumption plan has been formulated. This move caught the people of the household department off guard.

There must be loopholes, but they have done their best to ensure that every drop of water is not leaky, but the arrogant mother of the Luo Chen family used to be an accountant. In terms of mathematics, none of the three sons of the Luo family is not proficient.

Looking at those loopholes, Luo Chen was not as angry as everyone expected, but made a booklet of all the account lists and distributed them to the ministers, and arranged for the eunuchs to go down to communicate with each minister in private, as long as the gaps were filled, they would not be investigated for criminal responsibility.

This face-saving approach was supported by most of the courtiers, after all, the emperor had left a way for himself to live, and he did not kill them all. Although some people didn't turn their minds at first, they were ordered by the elders of the older generation in the family and immediately handed over the bills handed over by the little eunuchs.

There are always a few people in this world who think they are high-ranking and think that they are old ministers, and the little emperor does not dare to touch him. As the so-called official is done, he forgets who he is, and drives the eunuch back with a stiff neck.

Three weeks later, in the early dynasty, before the report could be reported, a golden armor warrior rushed to the main hall and dragged out three old ministers (including an auxiliary minister).

Luo Chen's eyebrows were lowered, and he couldn't see the joy and anger clearly, and just when everyone was surprised, a row of little eunuchs came up from under the imperial platform and placed the thick account book in front of everyone.

"I also know that anyone who guards such a money bag can't help but make a profit. But I have already made it clear that there is no need to mobilize the people, just fill in the loopholes. If you don't want such a face, I will naturally not continue to give them face. The few people outside should be optimistic, they are shameless, but don't feel ruthless. ”

Luo Chen said it lightly, the people below didn't dare to go in and out of the left ear. Who dares to say that anyway, the emperor, you have a lot of money, let us spend a little too, although we have done this, but if we really say it, it will be a big sin for the nine clans. And the evidence is all in front of him, who can break the bun and say that he is not greedy with the abacus and the emperor to calculate whether he is not greedy?

The three old ministers were directly stripped naked and hung at the city gate. It's a great shame. Not only that, but he also wrote the words "Greedy Ink Treasury" on his chest with ink, and the slap in the face was even more crackling. There is not a single one of the people who passed by without looking sideways. On the third day, people began to spit on the hanging minister. At first, the people were worried that if these people came down, they would still be officials, and it would be bad to hold grudges. But after hanging for three days, there is definitely no hope of continuing to be an official. Besides, they are all hung on the city gate like bare pigs, and when you put it down, you will find a rope to hang on the southeast branch. Can you still be an official?

This time, for the first time, no one dared to intercede, plead? Don't be stupid, if your idea of greedy ink is caught, wouldn't it be yourself who went out to hang up the pig? It's really not a fig leaf left, the three ministers who are pitiful have been glorious for a lifetime, and they are still honest with each other. It's worse than death.

Chonghua was also affected to a certain extent in the harem, and the families of the three ministers handed over signs to ask to see the queen. Chonghua didn't plan to see him, but when he thought of Luo Chen fighting alone in the previous dynasty, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So they summoned them en masse. The people who came were scheming, from the old grandmother in her 70s (with grade) to Mrs. Zheng (with grade) and daughter (still with grade), all of them entered the palace with a righteous face to plead for mercy.

Chonghua sat on the throne of Fengluan with some difficulty, listening to the people below crying out for grievances, and waited until they were all finished crying before they asked Luo Chen to bring up the accounts that Luo Chen had sorted out.

"If you are greedy for all this money, you should have handed it over. But Your Majesty has already given enough face, but your family doesn't accept it, this is no longer a problem of greed for ink, it is a disobedience to the imperial power, and His Majesty has already done his best without directly cutting off their heads. What is the crime of disobedience to the imperial power, you know better than this palace. I don't need to tell you about it here, right? Chonghua's voice was faint and soft, but it made people feel deep despair.

You stole the silver from the treasury, and the emperor didn't cut you all over the house, even if it was a grace of heaven, let you fill it in, even if you give it a shame, you will be shameless, and you deserve to hang it on the wall at this time. And the face to intercede?

One of the concubines wiped away her tears, and her eyes firmly asked her father and daughter to pay for their debts, Chonghua thought that she was going to enter the palace to pay for it, who knew that the little girl would hit the load-bearing pillar of Fengzao Palace headlong. Fortunately, the silver-armored guards around him stopped him, otherwise blood would be splattered immediately.

They cried, but Chonghua was not angry. They pleaded, but Chonghua was not angry. This girl is looking for death, Chonghua is really angry.

"Coercing this palace with death is a good strategy. It's a pity that the acting skills are a little worse, but they are a little tender. Are you qualified to hit the pillars of this phoenix algae palace in this palace? If you really want to die, go back to your own house and hang the beam. Don't dirty the place in the main palace. Chonghua's voice was full of cold hidden anger.

When the ladies below heard this, their faces immediately changed. I thought that with such a resolute determination, I could move the queen, but the queen softened and blew the pillow wind with the emperor. But who would have thought that this little queen would not eat this set.

To put it mildly, they really don't have the qualifications to die in the Fengzao Palace. If you want to breathe in the Fengzao Palace, you must at least have a grade of about one product. The highest grade in the audience has not yet reached the third grade, and being able to kneel in Fengzao Palace is an extra gift. Chonghua still saw that the old ladies were so old, and pulled down his face to plead for his son, so he couldn't bear to give him a stool.

As a result, it came out like this.

"Those who come to intercede think that it is normal to be greedy for the Moxi treasury, right? The account books of all these years are here, look at what your men were doing when the south was struck? Look at what your men were doing when you fought against the barbarians? How much gold and silver are enough for you to spend? Do you have to drink gold water and eat pearls every day to be worthy of your skin? Shouldn't this position in the main palace also be given to you to sit? "Chonghua is different from the graceful and generous queens of the past, but her speech is ugly. Wherever others hurt her, she poked her, and it was useless to have any etiquette norms at this juncture. It's just that they have to say it badly so that they know what they're doing wrong.

Sure enough, there are several old ladies below who are already ruddy-faced, and they can't bear such a shame. Breathe rapidly. As soon as Chonghua raised his hand, a team of imperial doctors immediately rushed up. The pinch of the pulse and the pinch of the pulse and the irrigation of the medicine are not to let these old ladies faint.

With the combination of these two people, the memory of the treasury was finally settled. Not only can you wrap red envelopes at the end of the year, but you can also allocate some money for the use of the expeditionary force. Now that the diggers are pressing on the border, they can't let people in. Although Luo Chen has changed his way to find a way to make up for the military salary, he is unable to do it after all.

Now it's good, how much oil and water can be squeezed out, and you can eat pork during the New Year.

The three old ministers who had been hanging for three days put them down and sent them home directly, and some people committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well that night. Completely expected. Not to mention ancient people, even modern people will collapse if they break out a nude photos or something. What's more, these people are all characters with heads and faces, and they usually don't say three points of politeness on the street, they almost kneel to give way. was actually seen by the civilians in the market, and even the hair on it was clear, didn't commit suicide and wait to make people laugh?

Luo Chen did not give pensions to the ministers who committed suicide, but informed the family members not to send them to the Liangren Bureau (Qin Yangguo's military brothel) so that they could enjoy their old age in peace. The whole family is grateful to Dade. But in fact, it is better to do this directly, and not so many people know you if you go far, and you may be able to live. In the following month, news of the suicide of Miss Guanjia came out one after another. Those who have made a marriage have been withdrawn, and those who have not been married can't go out. Why don't you die?

Chonghua has some emotion about this situation, if modern people encounter this situation, if they are not public figures, they will generally choose to fly away and go to a place where no one knows them. If you accidentally become a public figure, you will hide for a period of time and wait until the turmoil has passed. But the ancients didn't have any of these choices, except for death, there was no way to save face.

Fortunately, there is no network at this time, otherwise the jade photos of these three adults may have to hang for generations.

Regarding Luo Chen's practice of not killing his head but slapping his face, there are also excerpts in the imperial history to refute it. Luo Chen glanced at it and asked the imperial historian to make up all the amounts of greedy ink over the years, and the imperial historian immediately shut up.

The woman who is greedy for the emperor's silver and the woman who sleeps with the emperor can actually be treated the same, that is, death. But what the ancients feared most was not death, but losing face. So for the ancient people, death was not terrible, but it was terrible to lose it.

Luo Chen's new policy was related to the issue of education, and it rectified the scientific research of previous dynasties. It not only increased the items of comprehensive evaluation, but also increased the content of local visits.

Whether a person can be a qualified official depends not only on whether your articles are excellent, but also on how well you are rated in the local area. Those who went down to inspect were all micro-service patrols, and for a while, the tributes from all over the country were trembling. There is no longer a situation where people who read books look down on other people. He is kind to everyone, helps the elderly cross the street, and picks up the children who have fallen. The people's customs have suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.

For this kind of result, Luo Chen felt quite unexpected. Originally, he just wanted to check to see if the people who took the exam had too much character to look down on, but who knew that it would actually drive the trend of the people's customs by the way.

"I want to be an official, and I don't want to see if being an official is really a good thing. Therefore, you must also embody your companion as a tiger. At dinner in the evening, Chonghua was very lamented by the occurrence of this situation, and focused on discussing with Luo Chen about the defects of Luo Chen's lack of emperor shelves.

Luo Chen lowered his head to eat a fish, listening to Chonghua's emotion, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "So, I have to kill a few people occasionally to show the monkeys below, so that it will have a deterrent effect?" ”

Chonghua bit his chopsticks and squinted: "For example, the ministers did not pay New Year's greetings in the wrong way, and cut off their left leg to pay New Year's greetings again." ”

Luo Chen almost choked on a mouthful of food: "Are you waiting for the people to rebel?" ”

Who doesn't know that tyranny is unpopular with the people, and how many countries in China's history have made their fortunes on peasant uprisings? Not to mention whether this place is empty or not, people's hearts will not change. Just by looking at these ink-hungry situations, you can know that the people here are actually no different from the people of ancient China. If the oppression is ruthless, it will resist, and if it is neglected, it will also take advantage of loopholes, and the key is how to check and balance.

"By the way, those ladies annoyed you about hanging on the wall this time, right?" Naturally, someone from Luo Chen's side reported, and when he heard that Chonghua was rarely angry, Luo Chen was also surprised.

"Well, I almost had to mop the floor. actually hit the pillar in front of me, and if you really want to die, you will quietly hang on the beams of the house, still waiting for someone to stop you? Bad acting reviews. Chonghua sandwiched a piece of glutinous rice lotus root and said casually.

Luo Chen's eyes darkened: "You also think my approach is too unkind?" ”

Chonghua glanced at him and thought for a while: "Actually, I don't worry about you at all and don't think I need any advice, but on one item, I want to give advice." The next time you hang on the wall, can you leave the crotch cloth for someone? It's cool to hang a bare-skinned pig, and you also have to consider the eyes of the onlookers. After all, there are underage children and girls to be married. ”

Oops, that scene is too beautiful to watch, except for the old men who can also watch it and spit out, almost every family forbids children to go out to play. Not to mention those big girls and little daughters-in-law, they don't dare to raise their eyes when they go out, at first glance they think that the street is full of money, and their eyes are glued to the ground. finally survived until the person was put down, not only did the ministers want to commit suicide in shame, but the onlookers also said that they had to wait for the long needle.

Who knew that the emperor was so unconventional, so he could leave something to hide his shame. Besides, that thing is not very beautiful, if the shape or something is good-looking, it is still a advantage, but the black and small wrinkled, beautiful ghost.

Luo Chen was stunned, he had forgotten about it. (To be continued.) )
