Let's make a simple reasoning: if you are an official, you will have something, and if something happens, you will pay the money, and you will be fine. Where does the money come from, it comes from the pockets of the people. Those who are officials are afraid that something will happen to them, and they will have to make more money if something happens. The more money you get, the more courage you get. The more courage you have, the more money you get.

Who among them suffers the most?! Answer: The toiling masses.

This idea was clearly intended to incite the common people to rebel.

Harboring evil intentions, their hearts can be punished!

Who would approve of it?! Answer: The Manchu Dynasty was all in favor of it.

Everyone has something to do, and they're even more afraid of it.

The reality is so ridiculous.

The only one who does not approve and absolutely cannot approve is only one person, Lord Qianlong.

He is the leader, and the leader is responsible to the people.

Everyone can approve of it, but he can't.

Don't say that there is nothing wrong with Lord Qianlong, even if there is something, no one dares to ask him about it. Can't he see such a cheating idea as 'Guilty Silver'?!

Even Du Niang knows the four simple points: 1. Substituting money for crime made the officials who handed over the guilty money more unscrupulous, and aggravated the corruption of the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

2. The standard for admitting officials changed from focusing on the test of administrative ability to the assessment of the ability to accumulate wealth, which led to the decline of the overall quality of officials in the Qing Dynasty.

3. In order to recover the money handed in, the officials intensified the exploitation of the people at the bottom, causing social unrest.

4. The substitution of money for sin, impunity, and the law became useless, which accelerated the weakening of the Qing Dynasty.

Personally, I think that although Qianlong Ye was old at that time, he was not confused. Simple reasoning questions can still get a **10 points. The problem is, how can such a system, which has all kinds of harm but no benefit, hurts both the people's livelihood and the national body, come to the stage of history in a grand manner? !

Let's move on to the adult story.

History is about to be revealed, and here's the moment to witness the miracle.

It was the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, that is, the early summer of 1780. That year, he was 30 years old and Qianlong was 69 years old.

The Forbidden City in June is splendid and full of bright enthusiasm. The beautiful scenery on a good day, how can there be no people who enjoy the flowers? Lord Qianlong specially called Lord He, and the two of them chatted with each other while walking in the garden. Gradually, the two came to a small pavilion, there was a dense tree next to the pavilion, the shade of the tree blocked the sun, the pavilion became cool, a few magpies stopped on the branches, saw the visitor screamed a few times, wings waved, disappeared from the sight of the two.

"Heshen, what bird do you like?!" Lord Qianlong asked with interest.

"Minions like magpies the most. The magpie's feathers are black and white, very elegant, and his call means to bring good news to people, which is the embodiment of good luck. He said with a smile.

"You're really a roundworm in my belly, and even the birds are the same as I like." Lord Qianlong laughed.

"The minions don't dare." And adults laughed, too.

"I just saw the magpie, and I have already made a little poem in my heart, you can listen to it." Lord Qianlong pondered for a moment and said to Lord He.

"Listen to the minions!"

"The magpie voice is dark, and the vulgar clouds report the good news. I look forward to the rain, and I hate to hear it as a sunny day. Lord Qianlong said proudly.

"What a poem!" This is a must.

In fact, this poem is really bad, in addition to examining people, Qianlong Ye has another hobby in this life, that is, composing poetry. Although the quality is extremely poor, it can't stand the large number of people, and coupled with his status as an emperor, he naturally became a poet, and is the most prolific poet in the world (by far).

According to statistics, he wrote 41,863 poems in his lifetime, and there are more than 2,200 authors of "All Tang Poems", with a total of more than 48,000 poems. He lived to be 89 years old, that is, more than 32,000 days, excluding his childhood, it would be less than 30,000 days. A total of 41,863 poems (recorded) were written in 30,000 days, an average of more than one poem per day.

This girl writes poetry like crazy.

"Although the number of words is not much, the content is very novel, and the magpie has been written absolutely perfectly." And adults praise endlessly.

"You! You'll tell me something nice. Qianlong Ye said with a smile, and his heart was very useful.

Those who have seen the children's shoes in front should know that this is the best time to discuss things. And adults naturally will not let go.

"Your Majesty, the slave has something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter, you can tell it!"

"Your Majesty, the silver of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been in deficit for many years, and now although the Chongwenmen tariff has been partially subsidized, it is still a drop in the bucket. It is very difficult for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to turn a profit in a short period of time. ”

"I know that." Lord Qianlong was naturally uncomfortable when he heard this, and his tone was a little low. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no money, it means that he has no money in his hands.

Who doesn't bother if you don't have money?!

"So, the minion came up with a solution."

"What's the idea?!"

"The method of the slave is called 'Guilty Silver'."

"Guilty silver?!"

"The so-called 'guilty silver' means that the money is handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by the officials. For officials who have paid fines, if they commit crimes in the future, they can be given lenient sentences according to the amount of fines previously paid. The number of civil servants in our government is very large, the salaries are also very considerable, and the annual budget of the Ministry of Finance is incalculable. Therefore, it is also very reasonable for them to hand over a 'guilty silver'. ”

"I'm afraid this won't be good......." Lord Qianlong hesitated. Rub, you dare to say such a thing?!

"Your Majesty, this 'fine silver' is a special fund, and it is all handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the officials are filial to the emperor, which is also a matter of duty, and they are worried that they will not have the opportunity to honor the emperor! With this 'fine silver', it will be difficult to find the emperor in the future, hold a birthday ceremony, and have more scenery and scenery, and do what you want, and the people will see it in their eyes, and they will be happy for our Qing Dynasty's prosperity and strength! ”

"The truth is such a truth, I am afraid that there will be people in the DPRK and China who oppose it."

"Your Majesty, there are many officials who want to hand over the 'guilty silver', and the servants have done a questionnaire survey in private, and the approval rate has reached almost 100%. In this way, it is of great benefit to both the government and the people to open up sources and reduce expenditures and alleviate household expenditures, Your Majesty. ”

Lord Qianlong stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten Wang Yun on the shore of Daming Lake back then?!"

"Wang Yun?! Thank you for Bigfoot's sister?! Lord Qianlong fell into deep thought.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's her, that small Yiren, long-awaited Wang Yun!"

"Alright, that's it!"

Of course, it's a joke.

The real situation is that he mentioned Jiangnan to the adults, and Qianlong Ye remembered the scene when he traveled back then. I don't know what he encountered back then, but he ran to Jiangnan every once in a while. There's got to be a story in there, you say?!

According to historical records, the main purpose of Qianlong's southern tour was to inspect water conservancy.

Since ancient times, the floods in the south have been fierce and there have been many floods. During his first southern tour, he first went to Hongze Lake to inspect water conservancy projects. There are only three dams on the Yellow River embankment between Gaojiayan and Jiangjiaba, and the water level of Hongze Lake rises in summer and autumn every year, and it is prone to flooding due to poor drainage. The governor of the river, Gao Bin, proposed a proposal to add two more dams, which he accepted.

Since then, there have been five dams in Gaojiayan, which are named "benevolence", "righteousness", "wisdom", "propriety" and "faith". Whenever the water level of Hongze Lake rises, according to the water potential, the five dams can adjust the flow rate and flow of water respectively in time, which is very effective in ensuring the safety of the embankment and downstream.

During Qianlong's third southern tour, he formulated a clear water record, stipulating: The water level of the upper dam rises by one foot, and the gate of the lower dam can be opened to ten zhang. River officials complied with this rule, ensuring that the downstream states and counties were protected from flooding for a considerable period of time.

The embankment of the Yellow River near Xuzhou was also one of the key points of Qianlong's inspection. Qianlong came here many times. According to Qianlong's order, the flood control stone embankment dam built here has a total length of more than 70 miles.

Haining Prefecture and Renhe County in Zhejiang Province are the confluence of rivers and seas, and large tides occur twice a day. Once the seawall is washed away, the whole of Jiangnan will be an ocean. As early as the Han Dynasty, people began to build sea ponds here, and the construction of sea ponds in successive dynasties has not been interrupted.

In the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong (1760 AD), the water situation in Zhejiang was once again urgent, and in the construction of the sea pond, there was a dispute between the stone pond and the chai pond. There are different opinions on whether to build a stone pond or a chai pond.

On the second day after Qianlong's third southern tour arrived in Haining, he immediately went to the scene and personally tested piling. He saw that if a stone pond was built, it would have to be moved back dozens of zhang from the old pond dam to drive piles, which would inevitably destroy many people's fields and villages. So Qianlong decided to build a firewood pond first, and asked to use bamboo baskets to be reinforced with stones every year.

During his fifth southern tour, Qianlong saw that the earth of the embankment was constantly washed away by the turbulent water, and the bamboo baskets containing stones were exposed. So Qianlong decided to rebuild fish scale stone ponds wherever stone ponds could be built.

In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1784 AD), during Qianlong's last southern tour, he ordered to continue to build the Fangongtang Stone Dam. The completion of the Haitang project has effectively protected the prosperity of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

These are real, but not comprehensive. Personally, I think the records in the wild history are more convincing: one is the beautiful scenery, and the other is the beautiful woman. As for why, you know.

"Okay, then let's experiment for a while, and if it works, then promote it."

Lord Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River five times, and due to the deficit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had to 'borrow' a lot of silver from the household department, which caused the ministers to discuss and make irresponsible remarks. Although he is a noble ninety-five, he is not comfortable in his heart. If the 'Guilty Money' can really fill the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a short period of time, the probability of such a thing happening will be greatly reduced.

Ye travels to the mountains and plays with his own silver, you grind and chirp, endless nothing!

Qianlong Ye wanted to take this breath, so he nodded.

This pushed the Qianlong Dynasty to the pinnacle of Manchu history - the pinnacle in the eyes of the people.

The pinnacle goes one step further, and that is the cliff.
