Chapter 297 Rape and Rape

Legend has it that He Shen is a handsome guy, but Qin Mubai can't see it, he can only see that He Shen's appearance is indeed not bad, he is about fifty years old, and his height is about 1.73 to 1.75 meters, but his figure is already very fat, considering that this guy didn't know how much he embezzled later, he ate well, lived well, and should be fat.

Zhao Gao next to him is not bad, but his height is not as high as Shen, and he can only be said to be slightly fat, he is about fifty or sixty years old, and his hair is gray, overall, the age of these people looks at least fifty or above, but since it is fifty or above, why are you so popular.

This time, Qin Mubai has already done a fight before he comes over. And this is obviously divided into two factions, one is the eunuchs, and the other is these ministers and the like.

Zhao Gao and He Shen broke down, and the people on both sides greeted them, and they saluted Qin Mubai, which was considered an official meeting, Qin Mubai returned the salute, and was speechless in his heart, these people, who pulled out a person at random, are estimated to be scolded by tens of millions of people in the next generation.

But now Qin Mubai is not good at commenting on their good or bad, it is difficult for you to say clearly about this matter, but there is one point, these people are not good people in a broad sense. Of course, most people are selfish, including Qin Mubai, he is also selfish.

But selfishness sometimes requires a bottom line, but some people don't have a bottom line.

If nothing else, let's just say that the He Shen in front of him doesn't seem to be a person like An Lushan who directly wants to rebel, but can you say that his harm is low?

When He Shen was raided by Jiaqing, his family property totaled more than one billion taels of silver, which is not counting other antiques and other things, and when all things are added up, his family property exceeded the total financial sum of the Qing government in 15 years! Although the Qing Dynasty at that time had begun to fall lonely, in fact, from the end of Qianlong to the beginning of Jiaqing, the total financial income and GDP of the Qing government at that time were the first in the world, and there is no doubt about this.

And He Shen was also the richest man in the world at that time, so he didn't have to think about it at all, surpassing Mayer Rothschild, who was already very powerful at that time. And almost all of Heshen's money is embezzled, that is, these money are people's fat and people's ointment, and those countless officials want to bribe Heshen, so they naturally want to give gifts to Heshen, and where does the money of these officials come from?

Embezzling the treasury and looting the people's fat and ointment, maybe He Shen didn't seem to have done much harm, but that's because Kangxi Yongzheng laid a foundation for Qianlong, and Qianlong himself did a good job, resulting in the people being very rich.

Because the people at the lowest level have no way to live, what are they doing if they don't rebel? This is a typical ass sitting at a different height, looking at different angles, from the perspective of later generations, He Shen is also a corrupt person, but it doesn't seem to be too harmful in itself, and he has done a very good job in politics and other aspects, and he seems to have achieved quite a lot in literature.

This is the difference in perspective, for example, put it now, there is a person who has embezzled more money than China's total fiscal revenue in 15 years, you tell me, what will be the result?

Just look at what the huge corruption in some countries in Southeast Asia has made the country look like.

So, it's definitely not going to be a good person.

Compared with Heshen, to be honest, Aobai may be a little less threatening, at least Aobai is much less harmful to the country, although he seems to have been a little inflated later, and feels that he has the right to do so, but in fact, whether Aobai has ever thought about rebellion is really unknown.

If he really wants to rebel, it is estimated that he will not wait until Kangxi becomes an adult, Kangxi will directly kill Kangxi when he is a child, even if he is not killed, Kangxi will have the opportunity to change an emperor when he is a child, of course, these things will not be seen clearly by future generations, and it is estimated that only the parties know their own choices.

But anyway, let's just say that Aobai is in power, but compared with the harm caused by Aobai to the Qing Dynasty and the harm caused by Shen, which do you think is greater?

Don't think that He Shen is corruption, in fact, He Shen himself almost grasped the way to change power and become a higher official in the Qing Dynasty at that time, think about it, how many of the people who could become high-ranking officials during the period controlled by He Shen were good people? This is equivalent to He Shen himself poisoning most of the officials of the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Not to mention in the court, Qianlong is not a faint monarch, he can see it himself, so, what about those underground officials? Especially those county magistrate parents, almost most of them are under the control of He Shen, do you think these parents and officials will loot the people's fat and people's cream?

Needless to say, which of these is more harmful.

Why these two groups of people are divided, I am afraid that it has something to do with whether they are eunuchs or not, but I am afraid it has little to do with it.

In fact, many people in this wave of eunuchs have been in charge, for example, the famous Tong Guan.

And Tong Guan and Cai Jing know each other, the two are basically people of the same dynasty, but many people say that Tong Guan was framed, but in fact, during that period, Tong Guan and the Donglin Party, everyone uncle did not say the second master, there was no good person, not to mention anything else, don't look at Tong Guan It seems that Tong Guan has made a lot of military achievements, but in fact, the Song Dynasty at that time had a developed economy and raised the largest and most terrifying army in the world.

To put it bluntly, just the position where Tong Guan sits, throw a pig up, and fight that battle loss ratio is like that, and even a lot of wars, if it weren't for his random command, the ending would be even better. And many times, after the victory of the Song Dynasty, they could get more benefits, but they posted things upside down, and a lot of such peace talks were also presided over by Tong Guan.

Not to mention Cai Jing, Cai Jing is similar to He Shen, the only difference is that Cai Jing's corruption is not so black, he just has mastered most of the court promotions, forget it, Qin Mubai doesn't count these things, and Qin Mubai can't comment on these things, like these famous traitors in history, maybe find someone at random and throw Qin Mubai into someone else's position, maybe it's more excessive than what others do.

Qin Mubai thought about it, if he knew the final outcome of He Shen, he might find a way to deal with the money in his hand, find a way to exonerate himself, etc., but if he didn't know the ending, Qin Mubai didn't have confidence in himself.

So, Qin Mubai shook his head, some people are really bad, and some people may be driving ducks to the shelves and being driven there, to paraphrase that sentence, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

This is really not just a casual talk, after you lead a group of people to a certain point, you can only move forward, you want to retreat, that is to pieces, you want to retreat, your people do not agree, you are not willing to move forward, your people kill you, continue to get a person to go forward.

This is the norm in ancient power struggles, and it doesn't mean you can quit if you want to.

After seeing each other, Qin Mubai arranged for these people to start getting on the bus, and after everyone got on the bus, there were only 18 people in the 43-seat bus, and naturally they could all sit down. After getting into the car, these people were also curious about the car, but these people had obviously been completely divided into two sides.

For example, the eunuch gang on Zhao Gao's side has already sat in the row behind the driver, while the traitor gang on Wang Mang's side has already sat on the right-hand side.

However, this traitor and traitor are different, take Wang Mang as an example, compared to the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang must be a traitor, but Wang Mang himself wants to make a career, for the good of the people in the world, and Zhao Gao is different.

After Qin Mubai got into the car, he took a closer look at Wang Mang, this later generation is known as the biggest traverser, it may be that modern people did things in the past, although Wang Mang's is not old, he is an old man, but he looks standard with a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is not bad.

To tell the truth, although Qin Mubai has not carefully studied Wang Mang's history, he has probably seen that some of this guy's policies are very in line with modern practices, but in fact, the times are different! The most direct point is that communication and transportation are a big problem!

At that time, in the absence of strict rapid communication and transportation, it was difficult to make such policies and things, and it was common sense to disobey the yang and the yin in modern times, let alone that era, if you think about it, without an effective supervision system, he did not touch the interests of the main ruling class at that time?

And these people don't connect with him in private, and the ordinary poor people of his time have little right to speak, and most importantly, it is impossible for him to let all the ordinary people know about his decrees, and it is difficult to get the support of these ordinary people.

This is typical, if you want to do good deeds, but you offend those with vested interests, but you can't unite with those who benefit from them in the future, who is unlucky if he is not unlucky?

To paraphrase modern terms, the slogan was shouted loudly before coming to power, but after coming to power, he found that everything was not so easy, and he couldn't do it at all, although he tried to do some new policies, but the result was better than not doing it, then he would definitely be unlucky.

Thinking about it from another angle, what is the difference between this and the US election campaign on the other side of the ocean? How many of the political measures taken by the US president before he took office can be fully implemented after he takes office? It would be good to fulfill the same promise made to the voters at the beginning, and it is impossible to fulfill all of them.

Wang Mang is actually about the same, but it is impossible to rebel in modern times, at most, the support rate has fallen, but during his period, you couldn't fulfill your promises, there were really people who rebelled.

What's more, his educational institution also cultivated a Liu Xiu, which can only be said to have played himself to death.
