Chapter 33 There are also rules for corruption
,
"Yinzhen came to Shanghai to build an ocean-going fleet, local government affairs, I will not interfere indiscriminately, the two adults can have this thought, Yinzhen is very pleased. Bayi Chinese~" Yin Zhen turned his head as he spoke, "Xu Zhixian, tomorrow morning, I will survey along the river, and in the next few days, you will arrange for a few servants who are familiar with the situation to accompany you." ”
"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will go back and make arrangements." Xu Shizhen shook his head and said, "Fourteenth Master, five missionaries came over from Jiangning, saying that it was the ...... you ordered to come over by the Fourteenth Master." ”
Yinzhen didn't expect Min Ming's movements to be so fast, so he didn't care about it at the moment and said, "It's like that, you let them come to the Reading Pavilion." ”
Xu Shizhen hesitated slightly, and after glancing at Zhu Yanzhi, he responded, "Chirp." Then he shook his hand and turned away.
After Xu Shizhen left, Zhu Yanzhi spoke: "At the beginning of the fourteenth master's departure, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and really made the officials embarrassed, but the fourteenth master was still cautious about the missionary, as early as the fourth year of the Holy Lord, the emperor had an edict that Western missionaries were limited to activities in Guangzhou. ”
And what's going on? Yinzhen was shocked, there must be more and more Westerners and missionaries in Shanghai in the future, if he is impeached by someone with a heart to 'deceive the king and disrespect the will', although it is nothing at the moment, it will be a big crime when the situation comes," Lord Zhu reminded very much. Saying that, he glanced at Zhu Yanzhi with satisfaction, this person is worthy of a long-term officialdom, and he really needs a person who has been familiar with the law for a long time, I don't know if there are such talents among the few masters he has received, and he is in a hurry along the way, and he really doesn't have time to touch their details. Bayi Chinese~
Seeing that Yinzhen was so humble, Zhu Yanzhi was also happy in his heart, "The emperor sent the fourteenth master to sit in Shanghai, which is really a blessing for Songjiang." ”
There are too many facts to do at hand, Yinzhen didn't have time for him to grind, and said straight to the point: "Don't talk about these clichés, tell me about your reading pavilion, what's going on?" ”
Zhu Yanzhi didn't expect that Yinzhen had a keen insight into what had happened to him in just a few words, and secretly admired it in his heart, he deserved to come out of the capital, he had such insight at a young age, he knew that his affairs would not be long before the other party would know, since he wanted to be next to this big tree, he would first be able to treat each other sincerely, and he knelt down with a "bang" at the moment.
When Yinzhen saw him kneeling, he felt that the matter was a little serious, and when he shouted outward, "Dachun, disperse." ”
"Wow." Da Chun answered, and with a wave of his hand, he led people to spread the vigilance.
"Get up and speak." Yin Zhen frowned slightly.
After Zhu Yanzhi got up and sat down, he explained in detail what Kali had done when he went to Jiangnan.
Before Yinzhen came to Shanghai, he had a general understanding of the officials in Jiangsu, and when he heard that Kali had impeached and dismissed the governor of Jiangsu, the political envoy, and the envoy and four provincial officials, all of whom were Han officials, this was a high-ranking Han official in Jiangsu Province. Is this his nature, or is there Kangxi's instruction behind him?
Liangjiang is the fundamental place of the imperial court, does Kangxi want to use the Manchurians to control Liangjiang? Impossible, Kangxi is not so short-sighted, which is also incompatible with the Manchu and Han integration he advocated, and it is impossible for him to break his word with the best reputation and the best face. Bayi Chinese ~ is not Kangxi instructed, that is the problem of Kali, Kali first arrived in Liangjiang, and the battle for power with the governor is the so-called dispute between the superintendent and the fu, this situation must be inevitable, but the ordinary superintendent dispute has never seen such a big hand, what does he Kali rely on to dare to sweep the Jiangsu officialdom?
"It seems that the embezzlement of money and grain and the deduction of money and grain from the river are indeed a real thing." Yinzhen said with a light sigh.
"Don't hide it from the Fourteenth Master." Zhu Yanzhi knelt on the ground unconsciously, and said with a shy face: "In the past few years, Jiangsu Province has been smooth in wind and rain, there is no waterlogging and no drought, and the money and grain allocated every year for river control have also been divided layer by layer. ”
Yinzhen originally knew the rule of officials in the last years of Kangxi, but he didn't expect it to come to this point, no official was clean under his buttocks, no wonder Kali had the courage to sweep the officialdom in Jiangsu, and after a while, he said hatefully: "With the light and the dust, a good one with the light and the dust, the world will be destroyed by these four words in the future." ”
Hearing Yinzhen's heart-wrenching words, Zhu Yanzhi's whole body fell to the ground weakly, these things couldn't be hidden anyway, he didn't regret saying it, but there was an indescribable sense of relief all over his body.
The rule of officials is a big article, and Kangxi is not unaware of it, but why didn't he rectify it? Yinzhen couldn't figure out Kangxi's thoughts, and secretly thought in his heart that it was better to build the fleet first, rule the army, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it. At this time, he suddenly thought that in the newspaper in October, Kangxi issued an edict to exempt Huai, Yang, and Xu from Jiangsu, Yanzhou from Shandong, and from Henan to return to Germany next year, this guy is lying to me?
"You said that there is no disaster in Jiangsu, so what is going on with the emperor's edict in October to exempt the three prefectures of Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou from the disaster in Jiangsu next year?"
Zhu Yanzhi didn't expect such a big loophole to be revealed in one sentence, and when he heard Yinzhen's cold voice, he couldn't feel a burst of horror, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't hide it, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Huai, Yang, and Xu Sanfu, there are small disasters, but they are not to the point of exemption, the reason why they are reported like this is just to use the Ding Fu of the three mansions to fill the deficit of the previous office, even if we deduct eighty percent of the money and grain from the river, it is also used to fill the deficit of the previous one, and we only benefit from the twenty percent of it." ”
What are the deficits of previous appointments? Yinzhen is curious now, this Qing Dynasty official has such a high consciousness, and eighty percent of the private bribery income is used to make up for the deficit of the previous ones? This is truly a miracle in the world.
Seeing Yinzhen's face full of disbelief, Zhu Yanzhi continued: "Erba Kai has been a rule for many years, and this kind of thing is almost open in the entire Jiangnan officialdom, and everyone knows the trick in it, but no one says it." ”
Yinzhen is completely speechless now, there are still regulations for corruption, is this a historical precedent? He couldn't help but ask: "What is the matter with the successive deficits you mentioned?" ”
Hearing Yinzhen's question, Zhu Yanzhi couldn't help but be stunned, this young master didn't believe this, he hurriedly explained: "Jiangnan is rich, and officials don't count on public funds for greed, so the deficit in Jiangnan is different from other places, mainly caused by misappropriation, and the southern tour of the Holy Driver and the embezzlement of previous military affairs are the main reasons for the deficit, and these deficits need to be filled year by year." ”
So that's the case, Kangxi made six southern tours, who didn't want to bend their minds, don't whitewash the peace to cater to the holy will, anyway, it is the silver of the Huafu treasury, who has a heartache, the silver is not spent like splashing water, the three feudal domains, the conquest of Taiwan, the three conquests of Geerdan, and the two dozen Tsarist Russia, which time the two rivers are not the hardest hit areas, in addition to normal taxes, there must be temporary levies. No wonder Kangxi was unwilling to rectify it even though he knew that the rule of officials was beginning to be corrupted, and it turned out that the root was on this.
It seems that you have to make a few handfuls of money, and first help Kangxi clean up the tail account of the southern tour, so that this official can be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be self-inflicted. Thinking of this, Yinzhen looked at Zhu Yanzhi who was lying on the ground, this person's moral character is neither good nor bad, and he can't talk about good officials, but he is called a capable official, just a poor worm who stands on the wrong team, a victim of the dispute between the superintendent and the appeaser, it is easy to protect him, a four-grade official, it is just a matter of one sentence, but if you don't beat and beat, it will be difficult to achieve success in the end, but you are in Jiangnan, and you can get closer to the Han officials in Jiangnan by pulling him, which is more conducive to your own development in Shanghai.
