Chapter 274: The New Prime Minister
Relief for the victims?
As soon as Gong Qianbai's voice fell, the hall was surprised.
Disaster relief? Disaster relief with government food?
Kidding, right?
The officials in the lobby looked at Gong Qianbai one by one with strange expressions, if it weren't for his identity, they would have already laughed.
Since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, no matter how big the disaster is, no matter how much disaster relief is used, the ultimate benefit has not been able to fall on the ordinary people.
The main means of disaster relief for the imperial court is to reduce taxes, or exempt them, that is to say, the people in the disaster area are not allowed to pay taxes, which is already a great favor for the imperial court!
Is there a time when you send money to food? Yes, but it was given to the people of the Mongol kings' domains, and it depended on whether the Mongol king had power and how much he contributed.
As for the ordinary people, if you don't ask for food and money, it's already a grace that breaks the sky, and you still want to take the money and grain from the court?
Bah! Dream on!
Ordinary people, powerless, powerful and useless, it always doesn't matter how many people die! Even if they die, they can still immigrate from other provinces, and they will all plant grass for grazing, which will not be difficult for the Mongols at all.
This is the main thing that the officials laughed at. However, this is not the reason why grain cannot be released for disaster relief......
"This Lord Xiao Lu!" An official who is more observant of words and expressions said to Gong Qianbai, "It's not that we are unwilling to release grain for disaster relief, but the government has no money and grain, and our Song Wangfu also has no money and grain, so we can't provide disaster relief!" ”
Gong Qianbai was stunned: "No money and food?" What about the money and food looted by the White Lotus Sect thieves collected by the officials and soldiers? I've heard that it's piling up! You're not going to tell me you're all done, are you? ”
The official immediately laughed and said, "Ouch, my lord! The money and food can't be moved! You can't move! ”
"Why?"
Gong Qianbai was a little dissatisfied, he thought that there was no money and food, and the co-author was there, but he didn't let it move.
The official replied with a smile: "At least half of the money and grain belongs to the King of Song, and the military food must also come out of it." The other half, isn't it a villain who said that these money and grain belong to a large local family, although the thieves robbed the family property, but everyone was rescued by the officials and soldiers, and these things will still be theirs sooner or later! ”
Gong Qianbai said quietly: "It's good that the official army saved them, didn't they say that they should repair the river to repay them?" And it is said that the thieves destroyed all the documents, and now all the land, houses, goods, and grain belong to the king of Song, isn't it? ”
"This ......" the official glanced around and whispered, "Uncle Lu, these people all have backgrounds, don't look at the fact that they are all being dragged to repair the river now, and they will soon be asked to be released!" In fact, our Song Wangfu has already received a large number of official documents from the imperial court, asking for the appropriate children of those big families, but the army doesn't listen, and if we have to press people, we can't help it! But I'm afraid, King Song will soon be pressured by the imperial court! ”
"Besides, those lands and properties, even if the deeds are gone, but people have a large number of certificates, and sooner or later they can still complete the deeds, and they are still people's!" He said that he wanted to point to the corner of the room, "Look, that's a part of the deed we made up, and the seal has been stamped, as long as someone takes it back, it can be used!" ”
……
The more Gong Qianbai listened, the more angry he became, and the more he listened, the cooler his heart became. No wonder it is more difficult to sit in the world than to fight the world, so it turns out that is the case.
This is the first time he has used ordinary people as officials to implement his will, but he didn't expect it to be such a big resistance, it seems that he used his own people too easily before, so that he ignored the real human nature!
The road to ruling the world is still very long!
Gong Qianbai looked up at Lu Sicheng, Zhang Qiyan, Ouyang Xuan and others, and asked, "How many adults also see it this way?" "Tianlaixsw.
"Providence is so ......"
A few people replied in a whisper, looking a little lacking in confidence.
Gong Qianbai walked up to the main seat, took out the Great Seal of King Song and a piece of paper from his bosom, and put them on the table; Chu Liyan and the others followed, lined up on both sides, and squeezed Lu Sicheng and the others down.
"This is the personal appointment of the King of Song, this is the Great Seal of the King of Song, and I have full authority to handle affairs on his behalf, so come and see!"
Gong Qianbai handed over two things to Li Wei, Li Wei held them and let Lu Sicheng and the others look at them one by one, Gong Qianbai continued:
"King Song asked me to be the prime minister and take charge of the military and political affairs of the province, and I hope you can support you more in the future!"
That document was prepared by Gong Qianbai when he entered the city. He also prepared several other official documents for backup, and this self-appointed prime minister was the plan when the situation was worst, which slapped Lu Sicheng and others in the face...... It turned out to be used.
"Transmit the king's will, Lu Sicheng and Zhang Qiyan are Pingzhang, from a product; Ouyang Xuan is the right Cheng, Li Hao is the left Cheng, and he is the second product; Lin Quansheng is a member of the governor's political affairs, from the second grade. Congratulations, everyone, the official position has finally been confirmed! ”
Lu Sicheng and the others had red faces. He has been here for a month, and he has never been famous, but now that he has a name, he is not happy at all.
Gong Qianbai ignored them and continued to the following:
"To be honest, although the White Lotus Sect is rebellious, I really like them, why? Because they cleaned up all the big things for me! ”
"Since the Han Dynasty, in addition to misleading the country, local tyrants are embezzlement. Great Qin died in the first emperor alone, and since the Han Dynasty, all died in Haoqiang. They control the government, annex land, and bully men and women, which can be described as a heinous crime, and if they do not die, the country will perish......"
"Prime Minister Lu Cheng, the old minister is getting old, please return home!" Lu Sicheng suddenly interrupted Gong Qianbai's words and said angrily.
"Not allowed!"
Gong Qianbai also rejected him very simply.
Lu Sicheng said again: "The old minister's eyes are dizzy, everything is inconvenient, and he doesn't dare to mislead the country!" ”
"If you pick a child, you are not allowed! If you mislead the country, kill your whole family! No, the whole family! ”
"You!" Lu Sicheng scolded sadly and angrily, "The children are too deceitful! ”
Gong Qianbai ignored him, pretended not to hear, and continued: "These forged land deeds, land deeds, and house deeds are proof of this! Li Wei, this copy of the paper, let them all confess and draw a prisoner, and then seal these, when anyone makes a mistake, everyone will be punished together! By the way, what is the crime of forging so many deeds? ”
"That's enough to kill them all!" Li Wei replied lightly.
"Oh! So? Gong Qianbai said with some disappointment, "It's not that the Nine Clans are exterminated, this crime is light!" ”
"Back to Prime Minister! The government's man-made crime of fake crime will be increased by one degree, and the nine clans will be punished in the end! ”
Gong Qianbai said happily: "Yes! That's it! Hurry up and draw a charge, or you will punish the Nine Clans now! ”
The big and small officials wanted to cry without tears, and were coerced by Li Wei with a ginger knife and a ginger bow to draw them one by one.
"Start dealing with government affairs immediately, and all the official documents sent to let people be released will be returned! All the money and goods collected were provided for disaster relief as planned, ensuring that no one could drink two bowls of gruel every day...... It's just that people are not allowed to starve to death, and the thinness is based on this standard! ”
