Chapter 132: Even-silver
Looking at the silver ticket handed over by An Jianqing, Zhao Yu frowned for a while.
From the beginning of the snow to the present, the total amount of bribes he has received has exceeded 50,000 taels.
Among them, in addition to Wei Zhongxian and the Thirteen Princes, who deliberately wooed themselves, the others added up to about 20,000.
Even if Jinyiwei has a special status, a Beisi Zhenfu envoy is not enough in the eyes of the real boss.
But this is an official title that is not enough to see, but there is no need for Zhao Yu to bother Baal to be greedy for ink, just arching the hand knife in front of him, it is enough to be ten thousand taels.
Even in today's catastrophe, this money is worth 70,000 or 80,000 koku when converted into polished rice!
"What kind of filial piety silver is this?" Zhao Yu picked up the silver ticket, looked at An Jianqing with a sneer, and asked.
The big cadres and officials, from the bottom to the top, have fire silver, ice charcoal silver, rituals, and so on.
Don't deliberately be greedy for ink, every year, in addition to the silver, there will be a large amount of silver acquiesced by the officialdom into the pocket!
An Jianqing looked at Zhao Yu's expression and smiled indifferently, and then took out five silver tickets with a face value of 10,000 taels from his cuffs again and put them in front of Zhao Yu.
"This is not the usual silver, this is the average silver issued by the ministers of the cabinet and the celebrant ......"
Even-silver?
Zhao Yu was stunned, even in his own memory, it seemed that he had never heard of such a No. 1 regular silver.
"In the past, you were just a small inspection department, of course you didn't have your share of this kind of silver, but now you are not only a celebrity in front of the nine thousand years old, but also a town envoy of the Jinyi Weibei Division, this Junyin has your quota!"
An Jianqing pointed to the 50,000 taels of silver tickets on the table and said: "These pieces of silver are all distributed according to the size of the official hat, and this 50,000 taels was issued to me, the commander!" ”
"What about the others? The governor of the West Factory, Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory, and the imperial uncle Zhu ignored, these people all have a share? ”
Zhao Yu looked at the silver ticket on the case, frowned and asked.
"Of course, except for the imperial uncle Zhu who ignores disdain and does not dare to ask for this kind of silver, everyone else has ......"
Looking at An Jianqing's expression, it seems that he has become accustomed to this.
East and West Factory, Jinyi Wei, plus the Cabinet and the Celebrant ......
This regular amount of silver is distributed, and each 1.8 million taels can't be done at all!
Now is the current catastrophe, the imperial court can't even distribute the food for disaster relief for a while, and this silver can't be the emperor's full-fed and end-of-year bonus, right?
"Where did all this money come from?"
Zhao Yu picked up the 50,000 taels belonging to An Jianqing on the case and asked coldly.
An Jianqing glanced at the silver ticket in Zhao Yu's hand, and then sighed and said: "The imperial court allocated the disaster relief grain today, and the emperor ordered the household department to allocate 1.7 million taels of disaster relief silver, as well as 900,000 stone of rice, which was used to save the people from the earthquake......"
I see!
Zhao Yu looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and finally knew where this so-called uniform silver came from!
The imperial court issued a disaster relief grain payment, and before it left the household department, it was shared equally by the cabinet, the celebrant and the big people in the court!!
"Yes, that's good!"
Zhao Yu looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and the innocent people who died of starvation in the ice and snow came to his mind.
He's not a watch, but he's a flesh-and-blood man!
In the earthquake in my previous life, I saw the victims buried under the rubble from TV, the big men around Zhao Yu, which one was not crying? !
What's more, now I am watching thousands of people starve to death and freeze to death in front of my eyes.
And at this time, he still has a little power in his hands, as long as he is still a flesh and blood, he can't sit idly by.
He is not a hero, nor is he one of those court nobles who keep saying that he wants to put the overall situation first!
The refugees under the snow disaster are an unstable number in their eyes, but in Zhao Yu's eyes, it is all about human life!
"This kind of silver, you can't take it......"
Looking at Zhao Yu's gradually distorted face, An Jianqing on the side also spoke in a low voice.
Although he wished that Zhao Yu would die sooner, he also knew what Zhao Yu was thinking at the moment, and he somewhat admired what this guy had done during this time.
It stands to reason that the lives and deaths of those victims have something to do with one of his notorious brocade guards.
When the courtiers don't care about the lives of their people, can it be his turn to this idleness?
But in the past few days, his henchmen have returned, and he has seen Zhao Yu's every word and deed in his eyes, and it is true that they are mortal enemies.
But An Jianqing also admitted that this guy who forced him into a puppet under the command of a brocade guard had a bit of good thoughts!
"One million 7,000 taels, 1,300,000 taels of silver, grain and rice went into the cabinet and the business houses secretly controlled by the big men of the celebrant supervisor, and 900,000 stone polished rice became 400,000 stone moldy brown rice......
This is not something that anyone can do alone, since the money has been handed down, those big people who operate in the dark just want to make the officials who have access to these things shut up! ”
An Jianqing said this, and the ghost envoy reminded Zhao Yu that "you are now secretly in charge of Jinyiwei, and you have a lot of relationship with Yuhuatian, and you can still maneuver between the nine thousand years old and the thirteenth prince, for ordinary people, it is not easy to do this."
But even so, you can't jump out at this time and go against the officials of the entire Great Qian's court!
If this is the case, no one will be able to protect you, and no one will dare to protect you! ”
At this point, An Jianqing said sentence by sentence: "At that point, even if the emperor knows that you are dedicated to the people, he will use your head to appease the ministers!" ”
Zhao Yu took a deep breath, then raised his head and glanced at An Jianqing with some curiosity.
Listening to this guy's meaning, it seems that he is worried about his situation!
It stands to reason that An Jianqing should wish he would offend everyone again, and then be unknowingly taken off his head.
"I, An Jianqing, am naturally not a good person, besides, where is the good person of Jinyiwei?"
An Jianqing laughed at himself, then stared at Zhao Yu and said seriously: "But although I am not a good person, I can distinguish likes and dislikes......
……
Zhao Yu took 60,000 taels of silver tickets and walked out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
After a conversation with An Jianqing just now, I have changed my opinion of this guy a lot.
But it was just a few opinions, and it didn't make Zhao Yu completely relax his vigilance against him.
Just like An Jianqing himself said, among the Jinyi Guards, where are the good people?
It's just that what Zhao Yu did this time made An Jianqing, who had worked hard all his life and climbed up at all costs, a little surprised!
Out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen, Zhao Yu raised his feet and went to the West Detective Factory, thinking to see if he could bring over the average silver obtained by Yuhuatian.
But when he came to the Yamen of the West Investigation Factory, a herald from the headquarters of the Supervision Department walked out of the Yamen of the West Factory quickly.
The herald who originally wanted to go straight to the Jinyi Guard's Yamen to find Zhao Yu saw Zhao Yu walking in front of him, and immediately stepped forward quickly.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
