After this matter was dealt with, in order not to attract the attention of the people, the group walked out of the back door of the government, and then continued to go shopping, and paid a private visit.

In particular, he asked the people what they thought about the previous disaster in the Yellow River.

As the fourth master expected, the prosperous scene he saw now was just a local official who was forced to come up after receiving the news, and it was not like this before the emperor came up, and the people were just barely fed.

They found a private room in a restaurant and sat down.

After the guy who ran the hall finished ordering, he joked: "This master, do you look at the current scene?" Ordinary people eat and wear okay, right? That's because you're on the official road! And what is this place? O provincial capital! If you go elsewhere, you don't have to go to those particularly remote and poor villages, don't take this official road, you can see everything you want to see clearly! ”

With that, the guy wiped the table with a rag and turned to leave.

The Thirteenth Master has also come out several times, and he has heard some news just by hearing about it, but he only heard it when the ministers complained, and it was only what he heard by chance.

He thought that everything they saw must have been disguised, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big!

"These dog officers!" The thirteenth master gritted his teeth and slapped the table angrily: "Emperor Ama is merciful, everything puts the people first, as long as there is a disaster, he will definitely take out the silver from the treasury as soon as possible, and the amount is quite a lot, this year in order to save money, even the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was simply organized, but I didn't expect this gang of corrupt officials to stab Lou Zi in the back!" ”

Gu Youran hugged the little guy thoughtfully.

Who is the first to scold the people who have been plagued but have not been properly cared for? It must be the emperor Lao Tzu!

The world is under the control of the emperor, everyone knows that the emperor has money, and they pay taxes and silver every year to support the treasury, but now they are suffering as if they have been abandoned by the country, and they have fallen to such a miserable situation, and the first one to grit his teeth and resent, except for the emperor, there is no one else.

In addition, Kangxi Ye has been on patrol so frequently in the past two years, and the people must feel that the emperor not only does not know how to be considerate and unkind, but also is so extravagant, which makes their lives difficult.

They didn't know what Kangxi Ye had done for them behind their backs, and they didn't know that the treasury had long been empty, and the emperor had squeezed money out of his teeth to allocate it to them, so they were dissatisfied with the emperor, but it was only because of the coercion of power that this resentment did not reach the point of complaining.

The existence of corrupt officials makes the people misunderstand the emperor, and the more greedy they are, the more they can intensify this contradiction.

Therefore, a country's moth is far more terrible than an enemy being a tiger.

Gu Youran couldn't help but think that the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong must have gone out on patrol frequently, and Yongzheng Ye was the least, except for going around the capital, he almost didn't go out.

She used to think that Yongzhengye's reputation among the people was not very good, because he was engaged in literary prison and was blacked by the literati, and it was estimated that as soon as he went out, there would be countless killers who wanted his life.

But now that I think about it, this may be only one aspect, and the most important and even fundamental reason is because of the large expenditure of the patrol itself.

After the death of Kangxi, the treasury was like an empty shell, and Yongzheng Ye became the most bitter debt collector in history.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he is worried about the negative impact of his patrols, so he reduces the number of patrols, and even does not go out of patrols.
