Chapter 90: It is difficult to be strong
I saw a sword on his neck, and the blood on the edge of the blade kept falling.
"If Lord Fang doesn't want to save his life, just sit back obediently."
Xiao Longbow sneered, looked at the Ministry of Works, whose pupils were full of fear, and said with a sneer.
"Xiao Daoling, is it possible that you still plan to force Liang to become a prostitute? If we don't want to go along with you, will we kill us? ”
The rest of the Shangshu stood up and pointed at Xiao Daoling and scolded angrily.
It's not that this group of Shangshu wants to oppose Xiao Daoling, but that this person's methods are too cruel, and he will kill people if he doesn't agree with him.
They can withstand this kind of scene, and they can only use shouting to hide the panic in their hearts.
"What? How many adults have suddenly changed their personalities? The courage has become so big that even the prime minister doesn't pay attention to it? ”
"Don't forget, a lot of pickled things on your body are still handled by the prime minister and others. Now you just want to wait obediently and turn your face and not recognize people? ”
Xiao Longbow took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood on the sword, and threw the blood-stained handkerchief casually on the side of the group of six Shangshu.
Several Shangshu, who were already trembling in their legs, were so frightened that they sat back in their chairs again, looking at Xiao Daoling in front of them with fear on their faces.
"Why are you so alarmed? Once upon a time did the old man want to kill you? Just rest assured, if you don't want to, you can walk out of this door. ”
"Xiao Longbow, don't intimidate your colleagues like this in the future! Several adults have bad bones. What if I can't help but be frightened to death? At that time, His Majesty sent someone to arrest you, but the old man did not help to intercede. ”
After Xiao Daoling smiled and calmed people's hearts, he turned his head and glared at Xiao Longbow and accused.
"It's recklessness and disturbs your colleagues. If you are offended, you will come to the door to apologize in the future. ”
Xiao Longbow smiled and apologized.
But such a surprising picture made the hearts of several adults present even more uneasy.
Xiao Daoling has always acted domineeringly, and once upon a time he would be so polite.
I'm afraid that the gentle scene in front of me is just a disguise of this powerful ghost in human skin.
"Sir, you really won't force me to wait?"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a little apprehensive and asked cautiously.
"Naturally, how can the old man be strong?"
Xiao Daoling swore and spoke.
"That's fine."
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was like taking a reassuring pill, and his mood eased a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
After a whisper, there were two Shangshu who were firm in their eyes and almost wanted to get up, including the Gongbu Shangshu who was holding a knife around his neck.
"Master Xiao, the two of us have decided to ......."
"However, if you really plan to oppose the old man, the old man will no longer hide those things for your lords."
"It won't be long before the crimes committed by your lordships in the ancestral lands will be presented to Your Majesty's table in a very short time."
Without waiting for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to finish speaking, Xiao Daoling spoke first, and reminded everyone present without squinting.
After hearing this, the faces of the officials present changed greatly. As second-class officials in the DPRK and China, the children of the family have received a lot of favor.
In just a few decades, it has become a small valve in their hometown.
When the family grows, it is naturally inevitable that those things that bully men and women and run rampant in the township.
Those things that are angry and resentful, even as second-class officials, are difficult to suppress, and they can only use Xiao Daoling, the prime minister who is full of peach and plums.
In this way, almost everyone in this group of Shangshu has a lot of tricks that are held by the prime minister.
A single trifle may not be worthy of the wrath of the new emperor. But if everything has been reported in the past few decades, they will not have enough ten heads to cut off!
"What does the Ministry decide?"
Xiao Daoling took a sip of hot tea, turned to look at the half-up Ministry of Industry Shangshu and asked with a smile.
"The minister has decided to rely on Prime Minister Xiao wholeheartedly, and the prime minister just tells me to wait."
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu smiled embarrassedly, and forcibly swallowed the words of departure back to his lips and replaced them with flattering words.
"The son can be taught, and he deserves to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the dynasty."
"The old man doesn't have to wait for anything, each family takes out 300,000 silver and seven Xiucai and a new science and technology scholar to go to the new dynasty."
Xiao Daoling slowly drank the tea in the quilt, and then spoke.
Shang Shurui present heard that his face changed drastically, this is still called not much of a request?
Not to mention 300,000 taels, that's almost an astronomical amount.
Even some families who have been in the business for many years may not be able to pay for it.
Not to mention the seven Xiucai and a new science and technology scholar, although there are not many Xiucai in the number of adult families, there are also many people, there are hundreds of people.
However, the new science and technology jinshi is a rare commodity, and the Great Qianjun Dynasty only holds a big examination in nearly two years, and only 20 people are taken as jinshi each time.
Xinke Jinshi can be regarded as a first-class future talent in each family, as long as he does not die young, he is also a five-grade official, which is very important to the future of the family.
"Sir, it's not that you don't want to. Just know that I just handed over a huge sum of money. It's not easy to come up with a large amount of money right now. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu approached Xiao Daoling with a sad face and said cautiously.
"Oh? When the old man is really dizzy, I don't know how thick your adult's family background is? ”
"You, the secretary of the military department has deducted more than 200,000 military expenses a year, right? has been on duty for so long, and there are three annexes in the capital where every inch of land is valuable, right? ”
"And you are from the Jiangnan Water Township of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and you have invaded 5,000 hectares of fertile land under the name of Shangshu, and the tax revenue is not less than 300,000 a year.
"How? Do you want the old man to continue? ”
Xiao Daoling sneered, pointing to this group of pot-bellied officials and counting the number of embezzlements one by one.
Frightened, this group of officials sat in the original flavor and kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
"I can take out 300,000 taels, but can this Jinshi be replaced by a fellow Jinshi? I would like to exchange two fellow jinshi for one jinshi quota. ”
This group of officials knew very well that Xiao Daoling knew their income well, and turned to the idea of talent.
Jinshi is a first-class talent for each family, and it is worth their efforts to pave the way.
They really don't want to push these families into the fire pit in the future.
"The old man's words are only said once, you adults think about it."
"However, the old man's patience is limited, and if he misses it, he will not have a chance to regret it."
Xiao Daoling sneered, not intending to be false with this group of officials, and walked coldly outside the study.
"What to do? It's not easy to solve this problem! ”
Watching Xiao Daoling walk out, several six Shangshu leaned together and discussed cautiously.
"What else? I can only promise Prime Minister Xiao, otherwise I will wait for those things to be poked out, and I will have ten lives that are not enough to cut off my head. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu sighed helplessly.
At this moment, his heart was also full of helplessness, thinking that he could discuss one or two with the teacher-student relationship.
Now, it seems, he didn't care about any of that.
