Chapter 780: This official is not that kind of person
100,000 taels is not public funds, it is really a deposit of Jia Liu, and it can also be said to be the inheritance of Jia Liuzu.
It was left by the third father of Jingling Holy Ancestor Kangxi.
Although it is not a branch, theoretically as long as Kangxi's third father is extinct, then his old man's inheritance will of course be inherited by the descendants of other nephews.
There is an old saying in China, when a nephew stands in front of the door, there is no such thing as a dead end.
It's useless to stand ten sons-in-law, and you have to have nephews.
The camera cuts to the office.
In the face of major rights and wrongs, Prince Rui does not like to fake public affairs.
The nature of embezzlement and the use of personal savings are very different.
Giving Lao Zheng 100,000 taels is not in principle to buy this governor who is nearly seventy years old, because this is really a good official, a clean official.
The officialdom and public opinion are all excellent, and he is a good official that Jia Liu has rarely met since he came out.
So, it's just a simple condolence.
I hope that after Lord Zheng has this money, he can better serve the Qing Dynasty and serve the people.
Nothing else.
As the old saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this is the same for officials.
Hubei's fiscal revenue is basically zero, and these 100,000 taels are really a relief for the shy governor.
Whether the governor takes the money to the grassroots to offer condolences, whether it is used to pay the salaries of civil servants, or to use it for other post-disaster people's livelihood construction, or to find a technician to pinch his feet, it is up to the governor to make his own decisions.
Prince Rui will not check people's accounts.
This is the measure and mind of Prince Pegatron.
It was the governor who was obviously a little shocked in front of this huge amount of money, and then refused to accept it.
This made Prince Rui a little unhappy: "Lao Zheng, do you look down on this king?" Like everyone else, I think that this king has no hair on his mouth and is not able to do things well? Or is it a kid who has no skills? ”
This was a bit heavy, which made Lao Zheng hurriedly state: "Lord Wang, this is not what Xia Guan meant..."
"What does that mean? This king has said that the 100,000 taels are the king's personal sponsorship of your Hubei governor's yamen, and not for you Lao Zheng, you shirk it like this, is it possible that this king has the purpose of giving you money? Do you want to form a faction with you, the governor of Hubei, and set up another mountain behind the back of the imperial court, forming a party for personal gain? ”
Prince Rui's tone was obviously unhappy, he had never seen someone who refused to accept his money when he was so old.
In principle, those who refuse to accept his money will all die.
It's just that Prince Rui has the lowest moral bottom line.
The real clean and good officials, he still respects and reuses them, and it is useless for anyone to blow the wind.
The royal history Wang Jie, who exposed him twice in the court, was lucky to avoid the disaster of killing and prison.
The fundamental reason is that Prince Rui has the lowest moral bottom line.
Governor Zheng didn't expect Prince Rui to speak so bluntly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Take it, Hubei has been seriously troubled by thieves in the past two years, the place is ruined, the people are affected, and the province is even more stretched, it is not easy for you, the governor, to be a big man.... These kings are all in their eyes, and their hearts are also anxious, only for a while and a half, this thief soldier can't be leveled, it can only be symbolic, you use this money to do something practical for the people, even if you are worthy of this king..."
Jia Liu gently pushed a thick stack of silver tickets in front of Lao Zheng, and when he saw that the tea in his tea bowl was cold, he hurriedly got up and refilled the hot one for the other party.
After sitting down, he sighed lightly: "In the past, it was said that Huguang was familiar and the world was full, but I didn't think that Huguang was in such a realm today." ”
After a pause, he looked at Lao Zheng affectionately again.
He didn't speak, but there was great sincerity in his eyes.
Lao Zheng was extremely hesitant here, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but every time he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Prince Rui's sincere eyes.
After half a ring, the governor, who was nearly seventy years old, stood up to express his gratitude to Prince Rui on behalf of the officials and people of Hubei, and then silently accepted the silver ticket.
He's really short of money.
Not to mention the following, the governor's yamen has not been paid for half a year.
The group of clerks who followed him were all spending with his own private money.
Jia Liu saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and nodded slightly.
In addition to condolences, he also raised the issue of the governance of Hubei officials.
In view of the fact that the civil service system in Hubei is basically paralyzed, and most of the leading cadres at and above the section level have the problem of being out of control, Prince Rui expressed his hope that Governor Zheng can grasp the problem of official governance.
It is to rectify the civil service system in Hubei, and who can and cannot use it is decided by Governor Zheng in principle.
In principle, Prince Rui's side will not interfere.
"The thieves and chaos in Hubei this time is certainly not a good thing for the people, but it is actually a good thing for the officials. In the past, it was always said that the problem of government officials was always useless, and the reason was that it was deep-rooted and the officials protected each other, which made the officialdom a miasma..."
"Every year, the imperial court talks about rectifying the rule of officials and cracking down on corrupt officials, but it is still like this every year. It is useless to catch a group and kill a group, and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials will go to the follow-up like mushrooms after the rain, and the network is endless, don't say that you are a governor, even this king, the prince of Heshuo, has no way to take this..."
"As the saying goes, cleaning the house is good for picking up guests, officialdom is like a house, this has to be dusty everywhere, how to get down when guests come, how to settle down?
So what this king means is that you, Lao Zheng, might as well take this opportunity to rectify the rule of officials, promote officials who can do things, do practical things, and do good things, use them in practice, and sweep away the people who can't do things, so that the officialdom in Hubei can take on a new look. ”
Jia Liu took a sip of the tea bowl as he spoke, "In the words of the people, the house is rotten, so tear it down and start over." ”
The words are still a little contained, and I didn't say that I really can't start from scratch.
Prince Rui hopes that Governor Zheng can seize this opportunity and set an example for the governors of the whole country.
"This king led the army to quell the chaos, and your governor will hurry up the reconstruction of officialdom, so that after the chaos is calmed down, the officialdom can also be revitalized, so that the people can really feel the new changes... The people think it's good to be an official, but isn't this country as stable as Mount Tai?
You boldly let it go, no matter who is involved, don't worry, the sky will fall and this king will give you a top! ”

Speaking of emotion, Jia Liu's face was also full of embarrassment.
“... It seems difficult for this king to lead his troops to fight, but it is actually easy. However, it seems easy to rectify the rule of officials, but it is actually difficult.
If you Lao Zheng can rectify the governance of Hubei this time, the officials have the appearance of officials, the officials have the appearance of officials, and the upper and lower levels are harmonious, your Lao Zheng's credit will be greater than that of this king, and he is a real living Bodhisattva. ...”
Prince Rui spoke one after another, as if he was going to Guozi to invigilate the graduate school.
The governor of Hubei was very moved and excited.
In conscience, since he entered the officialdom in the first year of Qianlong, Lord Zheng has never seen such a prince who thinks about the people and the country.
I couldn't help but secretly say that the Minister of the Interior is really indistinguishable from friend and foe, and he slandered Prince Rui out of nothing.
To put it mildly, compared with Prince Rui, the current emperor is far inferior.
If a hero like Prince Rui can be the lord of the world, it will be the blessing of the Qing Dynasty.
Well, how can I think that?
Lao Zheng was excited, and quickly asked the author not to write nonsense.
He's not that kind of person.
