Hu Weiyong planned to give the local gentry and celebrities a beating at the 'Holy Temple', and then let them take the initiative to pay for the emperor's words. As for the disaster relief, local officials have already done it, and it is done in a decent manner, so he doesn't need to worry about it. As for the favoritism and fraud in it, he turned a blind eye and was selectively blind.

At present, he only wants to get the five million taels of silver, and the disaster relief is small, but the money is the big thing.

"My lord is going to the Holy Temple tomorrow?" Hu San, the subordinate and confidant next to him, showed a surprised smile on his face, "That's a holy place for scholars in the world, and the little one has long wanted to go and see it." ”

"You're a scholar, too?" Hu Weiyong's face was disdainful.

"Although the little one is not a scholar, he knows a few words, and he also wants to worship Confucius." Hu Sandao.

Hu Weiyong turned his head and ignored him, "Which one should I take tomorrow?" "Rather, I thought about it in my heart.

He didn't even need to investigate who was the richest in the area, and those rich people would automatically send him to the door, right among the people who invited him to dinner. After a few days of contact, he had already seen that there were at least three or four families that could afford the emperor's character.

If you are an ordinary official, the kind of 'clean official' who declares in a high-profile manner that he has a clean sleeve and will never accept any bribes, he will never meet the real rich people in the local area, and he will never be able to see the right master.

Because the minister arrived, the snake would not show up at all. They will send some horsemen to find out the truth and see if the minister is not on the way. If you go to the Tao, you will come out to curry favor, after all, it is very beneficial for them to get to know a Beijing official. Once someone doesn't come to the Tao and flaunts himself as iron-faced and selfless, the head snake will secretly give him small shoes to wear.

Don't show up at all, let the minister be honest and honest. After that, the minister of the Qin mission will be constrained from doing anything, everything will not go well, and even if he is rectified, he doesn't know who is secretly making trouble.

Therefore, those officials who boast of being selfless and selfless in a high-profile manner and talk about the word "incorruptible" all day long cannot do anything practical for the people. This kind of official is not a competent official, but can only be said to be a pedantic literati.

Throughout the ages, there have been many such officials, and their reputation has been gained, but the common people have not received substantial benefits.

They are not as capable as Hu Weiyong.

And Hu Weiyong behaved very well when he first arrived in Shandong, and was even cited as a confidant by them. Therefore, all the local cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods all took the initiative to appear, without much effort.

"Who is the lord thinking about selling the emperor's words to?" Hu San immediately saw Hu Weiyong's intentions and said, "Yan Shenggong is the largest family in the local area, so it is better to sell the words to him." ”

"Confused!" When Hu Weiyong heard this, he immediately reprimanded, "Yan Shenggong can be easily moved? Once the official moves him, all the scholars in the world will regard me as an enemy, and the spitting stars can drown the master and me. ”

"If you move the Holy Father, you can not be scolded by the world, then you can show the master's ability." Hu Sandao.

"You're trying to push the old man into the fire pit!" Hu Weiyong said, "Even if I have this ability, I won't do this kind of trouble-seeking thing." This is simply pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, playing with fire. ”

Having said that, Hu Weiyong was still a little moved. He was a very capable man, but he was also extremely conceited and daring. If you are not bold, you will not seek Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion in the future.

He wanted to challenge himself: "Maybe I can try it, sir." ”

"Huh." Hu San smiled innocently.

"You still have the heart to laugh, sir, if I carry it, you will also finish playing." Hu Weiyong said.

"The little one believes in the master's ability." Hu Sandao.

"Master Hu!" At this time, a subordinate official, Wailang Wailang, a member of Zhongshu Province, walked into the lobby and told him, "Something happened over there for disaster relief. ”

"What's the matter?" Hu Weiyong asked.

"Many local officials are withholding food from the victims, and the porridge in the soup kitchens is clearly visible. Even many well-off local gentry brought their family members and servants to pretend to be victims to eat porridge from the imperial court, so that the real victims could not receive it at all. Zeng Huai was filled with righteous indignation, "Those officials and gentry are really hateful. ”

Zeng Huai is a clean literati, an honest official, with clean sleeves, always jealous and hateful, and is Hu Weiyong's deputy.

Said hatefully: "They are usually used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they can also see the little gruel that the court gave to the victims?" ”

"You don't know much about the officials and gentry who are unkind to the rich." Hu Weiyong said lightly, "Even if it is a little benefit, they want to get it." As for the lives and deaths of the people, they don't care at all. ”

"Such officials and gentry should be killed!" Zeng Huai said angrily, like an angry young man, "This official, they will never be allowed to act like this?" ”

"That's it, disaster relief in all dynasties." However, Hu Weiyong didn't care, and said calmly, "If we move the interests of those low-level officials and gentry, the victims will be even more miserable." ”

"Master Hu, what are you talking about?" Zeng Huai said coldly, "Do you want to let these frauds go unpunished?" We are ordered to give relief to the victims, and we must always put the people first. In this way, we can live up to the emperor's grace and live up to the people. ”

"It's hard to do at this time!" Hu Weiyong said.

"Why is it so difficult?" Zeng Huai was unconvinced and said, "If this minister personally intervenes and catches a few typical examples and deals with them in person, he will soon be able to stop this unhealthy trend." ”

"If you think it's easy to do, then you can do it, and the official will hand over the power to you." Hu Weiyong said.

"Okay!" Zeng was full of confidence, "I don't believe it, we are acting according to the emperor's will, and we can't cure them?" ”

Pedantic! Looking at Zeng Huai's departing back, Hu Weiyong showed a sneer, these people who only know how to read sages all day long and don't know the actual reading are sometimes more harmful to the people than corrupt officials.

……

Next.

Hu Weiyong took the local magistrates, celebrities and gentry, and scholars who made more than one famous person, and worshiped the holy temple and the saint Confucius, and the scene was magnificent.

Hu Weiyong's move has also won the appreciation of readers all over the world.

In real time, Yan Shenggong was also present to accompany him.

In front of the statue of the saint, Hu Weiyong sighed: "The saint is a teacher for all generations, and he will teach for eternity, and everyone in the world will respect him!" However, the descendants of any family and clan will inevitably have mixed good and bad, and some people even say that 'what should the father do to the son', openly disobeying the holy precepts of the father and the son. Later, there were even people who assisted Hu Yuan, abandoned etiquette and religion, and conscripted and suppressed the righteous army......"

"Their hands are stained with the blood of the rebels. Later, His Majesty chased Hu from the sky, and in order to settle in the summer, there were still people who did not go to court under the pretext of illness, which was really ashamed of the ancestors of the saints! ”

When Yan Shenggong heard this, his expression immediately froze.
