In the name of charity, Wu Zhe issued lottery tickets by lottery, and covered up the bad reputation of accepting gifts.

After seeing the situation from afar, the two adults of the Zongren Mansion had to praise in their hearts: what a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Receiving gifts is a major pillar of revenue for officials in the world. Everyone knows that it is very common to receive gifts, and in the mansion of high-ranking officials, there will always be guests when there are major events such as birthday celebrations, white things to celebrate, marrying wives and concubines, and having children.

Gift-giving is a matter of reciprocity. I can't remember who sent it, but I know who didn't. Therefore, the gradually formed atmosphere is that everyone gives gifts, and what is not given is less etiquette and things are not in place.

Even a traverser like Wu Zhe has never considered changing this situation. The development of society has reached this stage, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it. Officials don't seek profit? That's. People who are indifferent to fame and fortune will not think about being an official at all. Therefore, the person who asks to be an official is a clean official, and it is simply a matter of seeking skin with the tiger.

But there has never been a lack of praise from clean officials in society. But how much water is there? Can the Qing officials work for the welfare of the common people? These are fundamentally two different things.

This kind of gift-giving is different from bribery in another world, and is more important than a courtesy. If something happens, I'll send you a formal gift money again as a request. At this time, the official will weigh the gains and losses and make a certain response to the request. This is called bribery.

But these are the unspoken rules of officialdom in this era, and everyone doesn't understand what they say. Only a master who teaches his disciples can speak so clearly.

The two adults of the Zongren Mansion looked at Sister Pomegranate, who was strong and reasonable, and couldn't help muttering to themselves: How can it be compared?

Compared with Zhou Zhiruo, this so-called female think tank, which is worth millions of taels of silver, is simply full of mistakes and omissions.

In this matter, Zhou Zhiruo didn't dare to say that it was leaky, but at least there was no place to attack on the surface.

Even if it can be said that it is a bribe. But that requires a big man of the emperor's level to speak and completely give up Prince Mo before he can turn this matter into a bribe.

"She's just taking bribes!" Sister Pomegranate couldn't make sense, so she could only jump to her feet and shout.

Some people around heard her cry and couldn't help but look over.

The eldest prince hurriedly pulled the pomegranate, and everyone retreated to the carriage.

"Go home. "The master commanded the coachman.

The carriage of the Zongren Mansion began to drive home.

in the carriage. The two adults glanced at each other, and they knew each other's psychology without communicating.

A pomegranate next to the eldest prince.

Layman! It's all the layman telling the insider!

Zhou Zhiruo was really not a vegetarian that week, and she had already set up a position waiting for you to come and sue. It turns out to be a hedgehog that you can't put your mouth to.

What else is there to say?

Returning to the city, the two lords took their subordinates and said goodbye to the eldest prince: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest prince. If there is any more evidence, the lower officials are still willing to cooperate with you in investigating the lawbreakers. In particular, if the evidence is conclusive, the scum of officials should be severely punished. ”

Yes, you have to have proof! Although everyone knows that it is a form of gift money, after all, it is called and used in a different way. How do you sue for empty white teeth?

"Two adults. It's not fake that they accept gifts!" Sister Pomegranate wanted to entangle unrelentingly, but the two adults didn't think she existed at all.

After losing the identity of the official match, Pomegranate was originally a figure without an official identity. The two adults are both high-ranking officials, so why not ignore you as a civilian woman? It would be good if you didn't sin the crime of disturbing an official.

The eldest prince sent the two adults away with a gloomy face and looked at the pomegranate.

"The two of them must have been bought by Prince Mo. Pomegranate said with a stern face.

The eldest prince was stunned: "How do you talk about this?"

Pomegranate began to foam, and the stars flew all over the sky.

Others were skeptical when they heard this, but the eldest prince was quite appreciative of the pomegranate. As soon as I said it, I was really nodding yes.

One brain is messing around, and the other brain is not enough. This pair adds up. It's really a natural match.

Poor Master Maitreya, who was still lying on the sickbed, had an empty ambition to serve the Lord. We can only wait for the most tragic news. Maybe even he, the walking dead, won't have a share of being served.

When the eldest prince was arguing with reason, someone on Wu Zhe's side had already made an urgent announcement.

"Miss Zhou, it's the eldest prince who came just now. also brought in two officials in charge of the Zongren Mansion. The master of the accounting room and the chief of the guard who maintained order at the scene all said so.

They were worried that Prince Mo's Mansion was accused, so don't really be singled out.

The master of the accounting room also sneaked over, and heard Sister Pomegranate's impatient cry, so he hurriedly ran back to report: "Miss Zhou." The pomegranate shouted that we would take bribes. ”

He whispered with Wu Zhe in a secluded place behind the wooden platform, obviously attaching great importance to it.

"Don't worry, you won't be able to make any waves. Wu Zhe smiled: "Next, as long as we take care of the personnel everywhere, we don't have to worry." ”

Wu Zhe had a confident smile on his face.

To put it simply, the word "bribe" is a tailwind.

Only when those in power want to get an official down. This word can take effect.

But Prince Mo's current state of being a royal celebrity, who can say that Prince Mo is corrupt with the attitude of Emperor Xuanwu? The country still needs Prince Mo, and Emperor Xuanwu also takes a fancy to this Prince Mo. This means......

The word "bribery" is not applicable!

So Wu Zhe only needs to be careful not to divide the spoils unevenly now.

The issuance of the welfare lottery will inevitably take out a part of it and secretly distribute it to officials at all levels. Even the Xuanwu Emperor had a copy.

Wu Zhe believes that after the Xuanwu Emperor discovers the huge profit margin of lottery issuance, he will inevitably issue official lottery tickets.

There is a lot of money!

Don't think that the emperor won't worry about silver if he has a treasury. If you want to be a master, whether you know that you are short of money and poor is one of the criteria.

An emperor feels that his country's storehouse is abundant, and then he is not far from the country's death.

Mr. Bookkeeper didn't understand Wu Zhe's steadiness, but he asked himself that he couldn't be compared with a female think tank. No one is in a hurry, which means that there is really no need to be anxious.

The follow-up to the draw is still ongoing.

The goatee butler who won the lottery was invited to the stage.

At the same time, he was invited to the stage, and there were 12,000 taels of silver.

Part of it is real money, and part of it is silver tickets. This is to prevent the wooden platform from being overwhelmed and crushed out of danger.

The old butler with the goatee stood in front of the half-man-high pile of silver, his mouth trembling and he didn't know what to say. (To be continued......)
