Chapter Ninety-Eight: Giving Credit for Nothing
To be able to get the response she wants, the purpose of tonight's trip has been half completed, Xie Yufei's heart is a lot happier, she picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, after a while, she felt that the tea he made was still delicious.
She put down the teacup before she spoke: "What do you think of this donation for disaster relief?" How much do you think you can keep? ”
When Zhong Shu heard this, his brows tightened, and he secretly wondered, since the master has achieved his goal, shouldn't he leave? Why is this topic being brought up? Could it be that he had another purpose? Does this purpose concern me? I couldn't figure it out, so I could only follow the master to open the topic and look at it again.
He pondered for a moment before he spoke, and said: "Corruption has always been not a thing, and it is difficult to put an end to it.
This is the iron law of officialdom, no matter which yamen allocates money. In the eyes of the emperor, he is already unofficial and not greedy, as long as he doesn't go too far,
Not being greedy will make the emperor wonder, but if he is really not greedy, the emperor will also be happy, after all, those are his own silver. All the use of the disaster relief silver this time is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it will be somewhat restricted, and in my opinion, there should be seven or eight out of ten. ”
Xie Yufei smiled lightly and said, "Seven or eight out of ten is also less than 700,000 guan, how much can you do with this silver?" Is there a way to keep the money? ”
Zhong Shu sighed and said: "This is already the law of officialdom, then someone will dare to stretch out his hand, with the first one, there will be a second, since someone starts, the rest of the people will not behave coyly,
Once Dengke is the envy of all people, once the official robe is added, he has an identity, he will want to have status and wealth, and if he wants to have a higher status, he must be filial to the official, then he must have wealth.
Wealth can pave the way for status, and it can also make people live a luxurious life, so the attraction of silver can make officials shake their minds, and if officials who are really honest and unwilling to follow the crowd, they will be excluded and suppressed by everyone, and they must have a stroke of genius to break the iron law. ”
Xie Yufei smiled slightly, and praised: "Supplemented by the analysis of the ugliness of officialdom, I have a share of the excerpts, you can take a look at it first." ”
As she spoke, she took out her fold and handed it over.
Zhong Shu took the fold and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more moved he became.
Each of the six ministries selected an official, the palace sent six eunuchs of the three grades, and Zongzheng Temple selected six members of the royal family to form a monitoring group, which was under the jurisdiction of Chen Fang, the middle of the imperial history.
The Inspection Team is responsible for overseeing the progress of the inspection works. Each payment and its use must be reviewed and verified by the monitoring team before it can be passed.
The supervision team settles the accounts once every half a month to put an end to omissions and corruption, and the accounts are cleared by ten accounting masters sent by each ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In addition, the materials used in the construction are purchased by the inspection team, and the system of public prices is advertised by bidding.
The progress of the project and the cost of the silver are made public every month.
Xie Yufei saw that he had finished reading it, and asked with a smile: "Supplement, what do you think of this method?" ”
Zhong Shu put down the fold, looked at her with admiration on his face, and asked, "This method was come up with by the master?" ”
"Auxiliary gaffes, this is auxiliary whimsy!" She corrected.
Zhong Shu froze slightly when he heard this, and then his heart beat wildly, and he just took refuge in the past and received a huge gift.
Zhong Shu quickly calmed down after being excited, and said, "Master, what do you mean?" ”
Xie Yufei smiled: "Do you think the emperor will use this method?" ”
He recalled the twists and turns he saw in his heart, and after a little thought, he said: "The supervision team has multiple checks and balances, and is responsible for inspecting and tracking the progress of the project, and supervising and auditing at all times.
All expenses must be reviewed by many parties, and the accounts must be settled regularly, so that problems can be corrected immediately when such a system is discovered, and even the most powerful people dare not stretch out their hands.
Almost all drawbacks can be avoided, and all this batch of donated silver can be used in practice, as long as the emperor sees this method, he will definitely adopt it. ”
"Then you will submit this fold." Xie Yufei said.
He already knew that the master had this intention just now, but now he was still a little shocked when he heard it, and his mind was already alive.
If you present it to the emperor, then you will have made a great contribution, and at the same time, you can also enter the emperor's eyes.
I have always been cautious in my life, so my life has been ordinary, without major ups and downs, I have always been proud of my steadiness, and I was judged by the master to be too twilight, maybe it is really time to change, and I can't mix it up anymore.
As an official for many years, he has suffered a lot, and his hard work and grievances have dragged his subordinates to follow the busy feet, so that his subordinates secretly scold and treat him harshly, disdain and flatter, and let the officials not be seen, all because he has no support.
Zhong Shu got a credit for nothing, and his heart was both excited and unreal, which made him suffer from gains and losses, and he decided to clarify the doubts in his heart.
"Master, why don't you give this credit to King Qin?" Zhong Shu asked.
Xie Yufei looked at his solemn expression and teased: "Do you feel unreal?" Are you afraid that I will regret it? ”
Zhong Shu's expression did not change and he did not reply.
Xie Yufei knew that he was a rigorous person, so he said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the credit is given to you, you will accept it, this piece of credit makes you cherish it, but in the eyes of King Qin, you don't care much about it, King Qin's credit is enough, you are doing poorly now, and King Qin has reserved two proposals, all of which are great credits." ”
Zhong Shu was indifferent to Xie Yufei's ridicule just now, and after listening to these words, he felt a dilemma, and he didn't know how to answer, it turned out that the things he valued were disdainful of others, which was a metaphor for his own vision and ability?
His face changed several times, Xie Yufei was curious, and he really wanted to ask him what was the reason? ? Is there anything wrong with what I said?
Xie Yufei didn't know that because of his unintentional words, this sensitive-minded middle-aged man realized his wit, if he knew that she would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, she was here to win over people, not to entertain people.
Zhong Shu stood up slightly embarrassed, bowed deeply to Xie Yufei, and said sincerely: "If you have more love from the master and the prince, your subordinates will not be able to repay it, and your subordinates will work together with the prince to share weal and woe." ”
Xie Yufei waited for him to bow down, and then he pretended to hold up his hand, "Don't you want to behave like this, isn't it?" ”
Both of them knew in their hearts that this worship was necessary, and after bowing, they would devote themselves to the command of King Qin as subordinates, otherwise they would just be attached to it, and they didn't have to do this great gift.
The two people in the room understood what they were doing, but Mrs. Zhong, who was eavesdropping outside the room, didn't understand, and she saw the two of them wrapping their arms around each other in the shadow of the candlelight, and her heart was horrified.
Mrs. Chen secretly said in her heart, I knew that something would happen, and the master would definitely be fascinated by this handsome young man.
She stood up and shouted inside: "Master, you have been talking for so long, you must be hungry, you haven't finished eating this meal yet!" ”
Xie Yufei was shocked by this voice, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
She glanced outside the door and said with a smile: "It turns out that it was I, an uninvited guest, who disturbed Fuzhi's meal, Fuzhi went back to eat, I will leave first." ”
Zhong Shu glanced back at the door, and was secretly annoyed that the woman Taoist family didn't know how to count, which made him lose face. He said in a cold voice: "Madame will heat the meal again, and the husband will come!" ”
Zhong Shu looked at her and smiled, and said, "Then I'll send it to the master!" ”
"Let's go!" Xie Yufei said.
