In the Red Sleeve Fang, Zhu Yuanzhang was aggressive, thinking that Li Jin and these officials were privately taught and accepted.

"Why did you give them so much silver?"

"You dare to say you're not bribing them?"

Li Jin was full of innocence and explained:

"I bribe? What do they have to offer me bribes? ”

"The money is nothing but their money!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on:

"Nonsense!"

"We have never heard that our Ming officials can have such a high salary in a month!"

"This is the money you have embezzled from the relief money, and you will divide the spoils here."

Li Jin was shocked, this Lao Huang has two brushes, you can guess this, but the brushes are hairless, after all, the pattern is too small.

"Old man, you really guessed it, this silver is indeed taken from the disaster relief silver."

"But we are not sharing the spoils, but the honest silver given to the officials, and only honest and capable officials are eligible to receive this silver."

"Bastard, bullshit and honest silver, let's see that you are corruption in disguise."

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry by Li Jin's words.

No matter what you Li Jin said, you also took out our money and distributed it to those corrupt officials.

What kind of incorruptible silver, isn't it still that you set up a name to embezzle from the disaster relief money, and really treat us as three-year-old children?

"Old man, it's short, your vision is short!"

"As the saying goes, to save the people is to save the officials, and even the officials can't be saved, let alone save the people?"

"If these officials are dying of starvation, do you expect them to have the heart to distribute food to the people?"

Li Jin stretched out two fingers and gestured a little in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ridiculous, we've never heard of anything that saves the people and saves the officials first."

"Officials are the parents of the people, and there has never been a reason for parents to be fed and children to be hungry."

"Even if our parents starved to death, they never starved to death of us, let's see that you dog officials have all forgotten the truth of being officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, eager to spit on Li Jin's face.

"It's a fact!!"

Li Jin's voice was louder than Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Tens of thousands of victims in Yiwu! Who's going to give them relief food? ”

"Did you send it, or did I send it? Isn't it up to officials big and small? ”

"Who is going to lead these victims to rebuild their homes, you or me?"

"Don't you still have to rely on the officials below? After feeding them, they will give me their lives! ”

"Do you think that just with those salaries issued by the imperial court, these officials can be allowed to work on the construction site day and day?"

"Dream on you!! With less than five stone of food a month, what kind of life is playing?? ”

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that these words came from Li Jin's mouth.

"Don't have such big eyes."

"Do you know that throughout the ages, how many clean officials and how many corrupt officials are there in the earth?"

Li Jin directly threw out the most critical question to ask Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Clean officials are like a rarity, and corrupt officials are as many as cows."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, he has the same attitude towards the officials in the world, as long as they are officials, there are few good people.

"Yes, then I don't rely on them, who am I going to rely on?"

"Are you going to let me watch these people starve to death?"

"Would you rather starve to death than corrupt officials?"

"I think you are putting the cart before the horse, being an official should be people-oriented, and only the people are the greatest truth."

Li Jin followed Zhu Yuanzhang's words and directly blocked Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red, and finally he said stiffly:

"Anyway, you are corrupt officials, and the emperor will never let you go."

"Why can't I tell you?"

Li Jin was also speechless at this old stubbornness, and asked:

"Don't keep staring at that little bit of disaster relief silver, what can you do with that little silver?"

"Didn't the old man come to Yiwu and didn't see the buildings built everywhere in Yiwu City? Don't see the wide roads outside the city? ”

"Don't you see the difference between the officials in Yiwu County and the officials in other places?"

"We saw it! But so what? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was disdainful, he didn't have much concept of these.

"Old man, haven't you calculated this account?"

Li Jin continued:

"Let's talk about officials first, isn't it worth rewarding such a diligent and conscientious official?"

"Don't they deserve the reward of incorruptible silver?"

"When the flood had not receded, it was the county commander of Yiwu County who led people to stick to the line of the river embankment, so that the flood did not continue to flood."

"When the flood receded, it was the officials of Yiwu County who set an example and quickly stabilized the people's hearts, which allowed the people of Yiwu County to pass the most difficult time smoothly."

"Now Yiwu County is in full swing to build various facilities, and it is these same officials who are rushing to the front line, and they have been working like this for three months."

"Can you say that such an official is a dog officer? Is it a faint official who doesn't care about the lives of the people? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, no matter how critical he was, after hearing the efforts of these officials, he couldn't say no.

Seeing this, Li Jin continued to hit the railway while it was hot:

"Let's talk about Yiwu County's cash-for-work."

"These facilities alone are not built for a mere 300,000 taels of silver."

"Under the leadership of Yiwu County officials, the newly cultivated fertile land has reached 150,000 mu, which is twice as much as before, which means that after next year, the grain price in Yiwu County will be greatly reduced."

"And this can greatly improve the quality of life of the people, and there will never be a situation where two taels of silver can't buy a stone of grain."

"Speaking of roads, Yiwu County has built six new roads to the outside world, as long as these roads are completed, Yiwu County will no longer be a small county with inconvenient transportation."

"It will connect the pipelines of Jiangnan and Fujian provinces, which means that Yiwu County will soon become a hub for business and trade."

"Not only that, but also water conservancy, river embankments and other buildings, these things are all beneficial projects, as long as they are completed, the yield per mu of Yiwu County will also undergo earth-shaking changes."

"Don't say 300,000 taels of these things, even if it's a million taels, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve."

"Old man, haven't you thought about how this silver was conjured?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little blindsided by what Li Jin said.

He obviously only asked the household department to allocate 300,000 taels of silver, and some were embezzled by these bastards, why did he do so much?

When Zhu Yuanzhang was still looking down and thinking, Zhu Biao next to him said:

"Is this the so-called cash-for-work?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, yes, the only difference in this disaster relief is not what Li Jin said about cash-for-work?

Since there has been a change, it means that it all stems from this policy.

But no matter how miraculous the cash-for-work is, it is impossible for him to create so much food out of thin air to provide disaster relief to the victims?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes looked at Li Jin at the same time, their eyes were full of doubts, hoping that Li Jin could give a reasonable explanation.
