The more than forty people who did not participate in the voting just now were suddenly angry and glared at Wei Bao together, but none of them dared to open their mouths to curse.

They were afraid that after they spoke, now Wei Bao would send someone to imprison them, and they knew that Wei Bao would definitely do it.

This is a ruthless teenager, is this the new science detective?

Moreover, they have been a little tamed by Wei Bao, and they feel that there should be room for things to turn around, just give in to Wei Bao.

In short, don't offend Wei Bao, things haven't reached the worst, offend Wei Bao, things must be developing in the worst direction.

"This is a good thing, you don't need to pay money, you can get an official position!" Wei Bao said that, and said to everyone: "There are more than a dozen of you who don't have silver, but Qingliu who votes in the top 100, you will all get the official position of the seventh grade!" I'll help you with all the money! From now on, come to me in order of ranking and pay the money! Everyone's feasting tonight! is still the same sentence, no matter whether you can stay in the Duchayuan and Dali Temple in the future, we all have a friendship! Prison or feast, the choice is yours! Wei Bao said: "This world is very cruel to everyone, the sky is above our heads, no one is too big to the sky, we can only adapt to the sky, who can adapt to the sky, who can live a good life." ”

When it comes to these crooked and heretical truths, Wei Bao is the number one player.

But with just a few beautiful words, it is impossible to make people not make a fuss after losing their interests.

"I know that many of you have thought about it, and as soon as you get out, you will unite to denounce me, I am not afraid of denunciation, I am really not afraid, because of what? There is no evidence! The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple are both the yamen of the Three Law Divisions, and everyone understands that what is the biggest obstacle in the process of adjudicating the case, that is, the evidence! Wei Bao suddenly became very serious, "You often feel that your heart is more than enough, don't you?" I often feel like I want to do something, but I can't do anything, right? Therefore, even if you are not bad for corruption, just check the political performance, everyone you present can be said to be unqualified! Therefore, if you denounce me with a grudge afterwards, you can only take revenge for personal gain, and I can only find out your countless bad deeds. ”

It was Wei Bao who talked to himself all the time, and although everyone listened carefully, there was no reaction, and even the angry reaction disappeared, but fell into deep thought.

Wei Bao then used a steady tone, trying to amplify his voice so that everyone present could hear it clearly: "I know it's all cruel! But I can guarantee that all of you here today are all called by me, and they are all my Wei Bao's people, and I will not leave each and every one of you alone, and I will definitely arrange a suitable place for you all. If you deprive anyone of your interests, you will be unhappy if you change it, and if it is me, it will definitely be the same, today someone took away my official position, and then said that he wanted me to spend money to keep my official position, or let me spend more money to be promoted, I may not be able to accept it immediately. But as long as there is hope, as long as it can be done, and it can be taken back in the future, I think I will still be able to accept it! You can treat yourself as me, and replace it with your acceptance of the personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, what will happen to you? Do you want to re-check? Do you want to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple move, the two great yamen, who are so important to the Ming Dynasty, only care about fighting each other all day long, and can't do a few things, is this okay? Don't you know how much harm it is to the Ming court? ”

"Master Wei, what you say is better than what you sing. Then you say, those who spent money to buy officials and got official positions, will they try their best to earn back the money they spent after they take office? If an official only thinks about making money, can such a person act fairly? If all the cases in their hands are unjust, false and wrongly decided, it will be good for the Ming court? I don't know what it means to be capable. What is incompetence!? Shen Hezhe couldn't help but refute Wei Bao: "I have been the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than ten years, how much experience have I changed?" Although it is said that no matter how it is changed, it is a virtue, but each of us in the imperial history, as long as we do our own things well and try our best to have a clear conscience! No matter how unfair the court is, there are always loyal and righteous ministers! ”

"Lord Shen, what you said may be reasonable, but what effect can it have if you simply rely on a few clear streams to support it? I'm not shining on myself, the people in my hands must be talented! Why? Because I have reviewed them one by one, I can be responsible for whether there is a problem with my ability! Also, although many people paid money to get official positions, after receiving official positions, I am still here, and they are still my subordinates! They spent money to buy officials, do they want to recoup their capital? Definitely! It's human nature! But I can grasp this degree, I can control them not to be too corrupt, and recover the capital within three years, at this speed, I think it is completely possible. At the same time, I not only grasp the degree of their cashiers, but also the degree of their judgment and trial! Starting tomorrow, all officials below the fifth rank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will implement a division and rotation system! The Metropolitan Courtyard is divided into the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard, and the Dali Temple is divided into the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard. The Southern Court is responsible for doing things, and the North Court is responsible for verifying the officials of the Southern Court. Before all cases are concluded, the officials in charge of verification in the North Court are kept confidential! This degree is in their control! For example, if it is rumored that a prefect of the Northern Zhili has a bad record and verifies it, at this time, an investigation team formed by three officials of the Southern Court will be in charge, and if the prefect is extremely heinous and unforgivable, he will be allowed to buy a life with a huge amount of silver, and he will only be sent to the army, or he will only suffer from imprisonment. and will not tolerate the adulterer, let it continue to be evil, this is the degree! In this way, our Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple have gained a good name and benefits, and the interests of the imperial court have also been safeguarded! If the officials of the Southern People's Court case-handling team plan to be more corrupt, not only want to save the lives of the most heinous and corrupt officials, but also want to protect their official positions, so as to continuously collect bribes, this is impossible, because there are unknown officials of the Northern Court behind them who are completely unable to obtain benefits to supervise! ”

After listening to what Wei Bao said, everyone felt that it was very fresh, and even Shen and Zhe discussed it with several Qingliu officials next to them.

Wei Bao's method is not new, it is easy to understand, many governments in later generations are cross-supervising each other in this way, doing this, not to mention that it can completely eliminate corruption and darkness, at least it can greatly purify the officialdom environment, corruption can, don't have an accident! If something happens, you'll have bad luck!

"Master Wei, you are so blatant in teaching people to take bribes, which is itself a bad position, even if according to what you said, the officials of the Northern Court do not accept benefits, but only supervise, but will the imperial court let you do this? Also, even if the secrecy measures are done well, who can guarantee that the officials of the North Court will not find the officials of the South Court in the hope of getting a bribe? Shen Hezhe asked.

"This question is a good question, if you want to make a system implement stably for a long time, you can't let a person be in one position for a long time. For example, the official position with the largest number of people in the Imperial Procuratorate, the Imperial History! Those who are qualified to be the imperial history are all experienced people, and the difficulty of the imperial history is not great, and there is no need to be a person for more than ten years, to me, I don't think I am smarter than others, and I have just been in the office for a month, but I can also see how the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple judge the case and how to judge. Therefore, the officials of the North Court are all newly promoted rookie officials, and because they are born people, they do not know each other with the officials of the South Court, and it is not convenient to find someone to jointly embezzle. I will take out a sum of money from the money of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, and in the future, the officials of the North Courtyard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple will all live in two separate alleys, and set up errand officers to be on duty, and idlers are not allowed to enter the alleys of the North Courtyard. The official term of office of the North Court is two and a half years, and then it is transferred to the South Court and is an official for two and a half years, and the total term of office of all officials below the fifth rank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple is five years! After five years, either transferred or promoted, there must be a better place to go. Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they don't ask people about the cases of other groups. All in all, to get money, to rely on ability, to be disciplined! There is a rough standard for all the cases of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and there must not be a single residual case! It is necessary to thoroughly establish the prestige of our officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and not let people think that we are just a group of people who can only talk about their lives. Wei Bao explained.

After hearing Wei Bao say this, everyone became much clearer, and they all felt that if they really did this, it would indeed improve the efficiency of handling cases.

"Master Wei, it's easy to say, but it's really easy to do, do you know that officials protect each other? Do you know how much resistance you will encounter? Shen Hezhe said: "It is easy for the North Court to supervise, but the difficulty lies in the officials of the South Court who handle the case. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Didn't you just say that you should try your best to be yourself?" In the future, the officials of the Southern People's Court who handled the case had to contact the convict except when they went out to handle the case, and they could not see the convict at other times. Why? Because once the investigation stage is over, the offender has already been arrested and imprisoned, and then he has to entrust someone to find a relationship, and he will be received by the petition officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple! These petition officials have been sitting in the South Court for two years and two and a half years in the North Court, and they will be transferred and promoted in half a year, and they will not easily joke about their official reputation. In addition, the petition officials are not specific case-handling officials, they are only responsible for contacting the people found by the criminal officials according to the nature of the case and the results of the investigation, and do not allow the case-handling officials of the Southern People's Court to get involved! That is to say, it is a group of people who investigate the case, it is a group of people who audit and supervise, and it is a group of people who are responsible for negotiations, and they don't know who the other party is. ”

An official couldn't help but ask, "Master Wei, how are the benefits distributed?" ”

"Three, three, four! The officials who handle the case in the southern court take 30 percent, the three officials are 1 percent, the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Dali Temple Yamen itself retains 30 percent, and one and a half percent is used as the travel expenses for the operation of the yamen, the maintenance and repair of the yamen, the welfare and training of the errand officers, all have to be silver, the dignified Dali Temple and the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in charge of the highest punishment of the Ming Dynasty, what does it look like to be tattered? It should have been renovated a long time ago, and the yamen must have a sense of majesty and justice in order to serve the public, and his own officials can also be more confident when they are on errands! Only with a group of well-trained servants of the Yamen can speak loudly! Not bound by other yamen! Officials above the fifth grade also need certain benefits! Half of the benefits, evenly distributed among them! The remaining forty percent will all be given to the imperial court! Everyone knows that those corrupt officials are very cunning, they are not afraid of raiding their homes at all, and their money has long been hidden, and they know that there are high-ranking officials above to protect them, and in a few days, they will change to a yamen and continue to be officials! But as long as we do a good job of the process and are not interfered with by the outside world, you change the yamen, and you can't escape the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, unless you escape to the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible! Wei Bao explained.

Everyone listened to Wei Bao's everything, and the more they felt that Wei Bao was not talking nonsense.

Wei Bao is really not talking nonsense, he has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than a month, he has been looking everywhere, and he has not been idle in the prison, thinking about these problems.

Shen Hezhe asked, "It's easy to say, but I don't know what will happen when I do it?" And how does Lord Wei plan to hand over this money to the imperial court? There's always a saying, right? Say we embezzled the money we took bribes? To whom is this money given? To the people in the household department, didn't they cheapen them for nothing? ”

"Donate directly to Ouchi's inner money! It is said that it is the Yamen's monthly filial piety silver, which is the intention of the officials! Everyone must understand a truth, only the interests are evenly distributed, can it be sustained! Only by maintaining the mobility of officials and maintaining the intensity of supervision can a benign system be established. Wei Bao said.

"Donate to Ouchi? Your Majesty directly accepts this kind of silver? Isn't that His Majesty's encouragement for his subordinates to mess around? Shen Hezhe smiled: "And if you really do what Master Wei said, the corrupt officials will be even more fearless, and it is the common people who suffer!" Have you ever thought about how many more people will die unjustly? What about those people? Who will protect? ”

"Lord Shen, this thing is not funny at all! It's not that His Majesty encouraged the people below to mess around, but the current situation is like this, you can't change it all at once, you can only establish corresponding methods to adapt! I also want to eradicate all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty overnight and give all the people protection, but is this realistic? We have given full play to the speed of investigating and handling cases, eliminated a large number of corrupt officials, and let many corrupt officials be knocked out before they just emerged, which is to protect the people! Also, why did you give the silver directly to His Majesty's Ouchi? Because only when His Majesty has the silver, can he take out the silver when the disaster area needs silver relief, and can he take out the silver when there is an emergency war in the frontier. Wei Bao said.

"Master Wei, it's a pity that Daming is not your own family, I'm afraid that most of the money you handed over will fall into the pockets of the eunuchs!" An official said.

Wei Bao smiled: "Is it that I don't understand, or do you not understand?" Every penny of silver in Ouchi's internal treasury is a number, and it must be supervised by the cabinet, and the income from Ouchi's internal expenses is usually reported to the cabinet by the household department, and the cabinet is reported to Ouchi, and the silver spent by Ouchi must also go through the cabinet! Even if there is a matter of indiscriminate establishment and forcible seizure in the middle, as long as Ouchi's internal wealth is abundant, it is not a big problem! Daming's tax revenue, 20% of it can flow to the household is good, and 10% of the household's silver can flow to the internal capital of Da Nei. As long as there is silver in the inner hall, the operation of the entire Ming Dynasty can be normal! Why can the Wanli Dynasty have three major expeditions, and why does the Wanli Dynasty not have serious border troubles? Because the court has silver! The emperor has silver in his hand! ”

"Master Wei, how the silver is distributed is up to you? Or is it up to those high-ranking officials and adults in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to have the final say? "Some officials have questions.

Wei Bao smiled: "It's up to everyone to decide!" Specifically, the finance office of the North Courtyard has the final say! The experience department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the left temple of Dali Temple are only responsible for the management of the silver of the yamen, but every time the income and expenditure of silver and silver, you must submit a detailed income and expenditure report to the Finance Office of the North Courtyard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Finance Office of the North Courtyard of Dali Temple. And publicly! No one has the right to distribute every tael of silver in the yamen, and if you want to use the silver, you have to report to the finance office of the North Courtyard! ”

When they heard this, they were silent.

Everyone thinks that this is indeed the case, if you can really do what Wei Bao said, the imperial court will definitely allow the expansion of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and when the time comes, don't say more than 2,000 people, even 4,000 people, 5,000 people are nothing. There are more than 20,000 Beijing officials and more than 60,000 local officials, totaling more than 80,000 officials.

Also, the most touching thing is what Wei Bao said about the establishment of the North Courtyard and the South Courtyard system, especially the Finance Office of the North Courtyard.

"Master Wei, is the Finance Department of the North Courtyard also a new official? Isn't that also under your experience? Since they are under your control, are they not the left hand in charge of the right hand? Are they all the same thing? Since the official of the Finance Department of the North Court has the right to approve the report you said, that official can't be you, Lord Wei, right? An official asked.

"It's not the same thing, at the beginning of the establishment of the North Courtyard, I really had to take care of it for three or five months! As long as the process is running properly, everything will be at the discretion of the officials of the North Academy! The financial part is supervised by all the officials of the North Court and approved by a show of hands! If you don't approve more than half of them, even if you are an errand servant, you don't buy the report from Yushi and Dali Siqing in person! Wei Bao said.

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads, and they all thought that this was the best!

The officials of the North Courtyard are all newcomers, and the newcomers are bold, they don't know how to be afraid, and the vote by show of hands is for everyone to participate together, not any one person, it is difficult to have loopholes!

"Master Wei, I have another question, don't the officials of the North Courtyard need anyone to take care of them? Who is involved in what case, then it is not the Southern Court that has the final say? An official asked.

"Nope! The officials of the North Court do not need to be managed, they are divided into groups, and the number of groups corresponds to the South Court, and the cases of the South Court are sent to the North Court, and the group is determined by drawing lots! It was also completed under the joint supervision of all officials of the North Court. Wei Bao replied: "In short, the task of the North Court is to supervise the officials of the South Court!" In case of trouble, everyone raises their hands and votes together! Officials of the Southern Court are not allowed to participate. ”

No one has any objections, if this can really be the case, who should be the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, in fact, they are all the same!

The only thing everyone is worried about now is whether Wei Bao can honor what he says?

However, after some discussion, everyone felt that it was not important, Wei Bao was an official given by the emperor, and tens of thousands of people made a fuss at the palace gate without doing anything to Wei Bao, what Wei Bao said would definitely be able to be done in the near future.

Wei Bao saw that everyone was completely moved by what he said, and continued: "If you do what I say, even if you are beaten back to the Ministry of Officials, you will not be resettled for a while and a half, I can guarantee that the scale of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will soon expand several times, or even ten times!" You guys are definitely the first candidates to be given admission by supplement! Okay, now let's start voting, everyone has to write 3 names! ”

Wei Bao asked everyone to write three names, because he was afraid that if he only wrote one name, everyone would write themselves.

Most of the more than 40 officials who had been very rigid and said they would never participate in the vote changed their minds and begged Wei Bao to let them participate as well.

Wei Bao generously agreed, saying that he was not to blame for the past.

Everything went smoothly, voting for the top 100 and top 500, and most of the qualified people were eager to buy office.

There is really no silver, and it does not meet the standards of Qingliu officials, Wei Bao also gave them the green light and allowed an IOU to be made here! However, the amount of the IOU can only be offset by half of the actual amount, and it is limited to be paid within one month.

In this way, the remaining official positions were quickly sold out, and the official position of the fifth grade of Dali Temple was actually sold at a sky-high price of 400,000 taels of silver!

The most willing to spend money is still counted as the incumbent officials, who are generally more generous than the children of the yamen and the new science and technology scholars!

Because they heard Wei Bao say the plan of 'making money', they can calculate the profitability of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and they are very confident in the future 'development' of the yamen.

The total amount of Wei Bao's official sales reached more than 3.6 million taels of silver, and more than 2.5 million taels of silver were collected!

That is to say, when all the silver is collected and the 1 million taels of silver promised to Wei Zhongxian before are paid, Wei Bao himself can at least get a net profit of more than 2.6 million taels of silver!

Anyway, the money came from him alone.

Wei Bao knew that although he had told everyone to keep it strictly confidential, there was no impermeable wall in the world, no matter how secret it was, Wei Zhongxian would definitely know, so Wei Bao planned to 'consciously' take out 600,000 taels to Wei Zhongxian, anyway, he could only estimate how much money each person actually spent on buying officials, and there was no way to count it, even if Wei Zhongxian knew that he had made some benefits from it, it was also obtained by himself, who has the ability to settle more than 2,000 people and only choose more than 400 people?

In a few days, he can make a net profit of more than 2 million taels of silver, and Wei Baole is unsupportable.

Before sunset, it should have been dispersed.

Wei Bao asked people to seal the street where the Duchayuan and Dali Temple are located, and drank and feasted with more than 2,000 people, and more than 200 tables, from the Duchayuan and the inner courtyard of Dali Temple, all the way to the street.

The scene was spectacular.

The officials all wanted to come and toast Wei Bao, but Wei Bao couldn't drink so much, so everyone waited at his table, and he went to toast everyone, otherwise, one by one, more than 2,000 people, everyone could die of exhaustion when they said a word.

Wei Bao toasted, there was no way to have a table and a glass, more than two hundred glasses of wine, no matter how good the amount of wine was, it was useless, first of all, the stomach could not be filled.

He held a glass of wine, sipping a glass of wine at each table, and drinking a glass of wine at ten tables.

Wei Bao's most common words to everyone were: "Do you regret it now?" The sooner you buy, the cheaper it is, who makes you not believe me? But don't worry, it'll be added soon, so don't worry! ”

Walking around the more than 200 tables, Wei Bao's voice was hoarse, but he was in a good mood.

Not to mention that he has done everyone, he can be regarded as 99% of the people.

There are no more than 30 people who still plan to denounce Wei Bao, and they don't dare to openly oppose Wei Bao, but secretly plan to report to the imperial court.

Even Shen Hezhe and other Qingliu officials were temporarily co-opted by Wei Bao, and they were determined to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to see how Wei Bao was doing?

Qingliu officials are not neurotic, they also know that what Wei Bao said is the truth, if they want to change the environment of Daming all at once, it is impossible!

If we can really do what Wei Bao said, speed up the elimination of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, speed up the speed of officials in and out of the Ming officialdom, and let the emperor have silver, it will be of great benefit to the people and the Ming court.

In fact, many imperial courts in the Ming Dynasty are divided into the south and the north, but most of them are just formalities, and after a period of time, there is no difference, and they cannot play the role of supervision at all.

Wei Bao not only said it clearly, but also said it without flaws, which is the most impressive place.

Although Qingliu is very unaccustomed to Wei Bao's greedy ink set, they have to admit that Wei Bao is capable! I want to give Wei Bao a chance, and I also want to give the Duchayuan and Dali Temple a chance, and I want to see what will happen? It can also be regarded as a chance for the Ming court.

Originally, Wei Bao wanted to kick out the dozen or so stubborn people in Qingliu, but he didn't do so after all, and the influence of these people must be great after they went out, so Wei Bao persuaded himself at the last moment and reached a settlement by compromising without them having to pay money and retaining their official positions.

"Lord Shen, is there anything else?" Wei Bao finished his toast, and just sat down at the table where he was with a group of new scholars, Shen Hezhe came over again.

Wei Bao was surprised, I don't know what happened to this person, although the smile on the surface is cute, but Wei Bao is really a little annoyed by these clear streams.

There are too many broken facts, and I like to ask about everything.

"Master Wei, I don't have anything to do, just a kind reminder." Shen and Zhe said.

Wei Bao said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Shen, please speak." ”

"You know what? Before the imperial court takes out an official, it must first appoint a new official to replace it, and the speed of the imperial court is very slow, and when the new official is elected, the original official has already been heard. Shen Hezhe said.

"So what? Can you get away with arrest if you get the news? Wei Bao asked.

"You can't escape, but there is plenty of time to erase the evidence of the crime, and the most difficult thing for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to handle the case is to get the evidence of the crime." Shen Hezhe said: "Lord Wei, if you make such a big deal in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, there must be many eunuch officials who will deal with Lord Wei!" I want to remind Lord Wei that if Lord Wei loses the first case in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, he will very likely be transferred! ”
