Chapter 174 is the responsibility of Emperor Qianlong
They all looked at He Shen with a shocked gaze, not knowing what He Shen thought, and he could come up with such a way of lacking morality.
If you don't give a dime, you still want others to work hard, it's really a lack of morality, and the lack of morality is home.
"Don't look at me with such eyes, this official is also for the good of these alternate officials."
"Although they don't give money, among these supervisors, some of them can directly become high-grade officials, which is really important to them!"
He Shen glanced around, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
I saw that he waved his hand, and in the Jinluan Palace, he said coldly: "Ordinary readers, ten years of hard study, once nominated for the gold list, famous in the world, very proud..."
"However, except for the parties involved, who knows, even if you become a person and a jinshi, it is not so easy to enter the court as an official."
"All of you here, as people who experienced it two or three decades ago, naturally know this in your hearts."
"For those alternate officials who have been waiting for a long time and don't know if it is possible, they will fall into their official positions..."
"Even if it's a temporary editor. system, without wages and salaries, they will happily accept it. ”
"Yes, this official is completely sure of this."
"The official proposes that although these alternate officials are only included in the list of temporary officials, in order to make them more motivated, and if they perform well, they can not only directly become officials with official ranks, but also give them money as rewards."
"This is the real pie for them!"
Speaking of this, He Shen smiled, pursed his lips and said: "Besides, although these people are only alternate officials and do not have a salary, but, according to the rules of the imperial court, they still have subsidies and some social privileges. ”
"With these subsidies and privileges, it is not a problem to support themselves, even a family of three, but the life is a little hard, and there will be a day when they will come out!"
After saying these words, He Shen looked around again and said in an inexplicable tone.
"This official's suggestion is actually for their good, it is better than their countless thoughts and efforts, winning the promotion, Jinshi, and becoming an alternate official, and they still need to wait aimlessly, which is stronger."
"At least, this suggestion from this official gives them a glimmer of hope to be officials, doesn't it?"
“…………”
"Okay, good, it's good to talk to Aiqing!"
After everyone glanced at each other with big eyes and small eyes, no one said a word, and the Jinluan Hall fell into a dead silence.
After a long time, Emperor Qianlong clapped his palms and expressed his attitude to the officials in the hall.
There was silence in the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers of the Yan Dynasty really had nothing to say, and He Shen had all said it to this point, and he said it so explicitly.
I can't say much about this, if they chirp crookedly, if the news leaks, then they will have fun, but they will really have a big deal.
This is no small matter.
“……………”
On the contrary, this is a hot potato, and whoever opposes it openly will surely become a sworn enemy of a large number of candidates for vacant reserve officials.
No one present can afford such a responsibility, even Emperor Qianlong, who is now sitting on the dragon chair, is no exception!
Emperor Qianlong laughed and said, "I think it's a good idea to talk to adults, what do you think?" ”
For Emperor Qianlong, the most important thing at the moment is to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother and make money.
And looking at the entire court and local governments at all levels, they all oppose his actions, how can this be satisfactory to Emperor Qianlong?
He didn't know what to do before, but as a result, Heshen's side came up with a very good idea today.
In the name of the Ministry of Households, he dispatched "supervisors" to local governments at all levels!
What is a "supervisor", to put it nicely, it is for the country and the people, but in fact it is a disguised supervision of tax evasion and tax evasion.
The "supervisor" clearly supervises the income and expenditure of the world's wealthy businessmen, and evades taxes!
Of course, He Shen didn't say that, he just said that he would send "supervisors" to supervise the flow of private wealth.
As for whether these "supervisors" will report other matters to the household yamen, it is not for him and someone to manage it.
In fact, Heshen's suggestion is a modern version of the civil service management system.
The biggest advantage of the system is that it has formed a dual management system with local governments at all levels, and does not give these local land-sitting households the opportunity to act arbitrarily.
“……………”
As a qualified emperor, Emperor Qianlong was naturally not a fool, and he could not see the benefits of his system, especially for the center. What are the benefits of centralizing power in the imperial court?
Therefore, after he put forward this proposal with Shen, the other ministers were speechless and had nothing to say, so he did not hesitate to express his support.
The other important ministers above the Jinluan Palace naturally also saw that they suppressed local rights and were centralized. The benefits of the central government, they are all bigwigs in the court, and they naturally hope that the more power in their hands, the heavier the better.
“………………”
Seeing that Emperor Qianlong expressed his support, he boasted that this was the old stubbornness of the collision between the imperial power and the vassal power again, and subconsciously wanted to oppose it, but in the face of Shang Heshen's murderous gaze, his heart couldn't help but shrink violently.
The new Hubu Zuo Lang in front of him is not a good stubble, plus Emperor Qianlong has expressed his attitude, they don't need to completely offend Emperor Qianlong and He Shen for this matter.
……………
As a result, a proposal that was likely to cause turmoil in the court was passed in the grand court meeting of the Jinluan Palace.
"Since all the adults have agreed, then send the first batch of ten "supervisors" to Yangzhou to investigate those Yangzhou salt merchants! ”
After glancing around, seeing that no one else objected, He Shen snorted and said: "The water in Yangzhou is deep and muddy, this time, let's take Yangzhou first!" ”
“…………………”
Quiet, silent, dead silence, on the Jinluan Palace, the silence of the falling needle!
On the Jinluan Palace, it was so quiet that even breathing could be heard, and the high-ranking civil and military officials of the imperial court present looked at He Shen one by one, which was very strange.
Mabi's, this is naked, standing for Emperor Qianlong.
Who doesn't know that Emperor Qianlong had a big head for silver.
Obviously, in the eyes of Heshen, the dog raised by Emperor Qianlong, he actually thought of using such a method to earn money for Emperor Qianlong!
“……………”
At this moment, even Emperor Qianlong, who was sitting on the top dragon chair, subconsciously swallowed his spit and secretly admired He Shen.
"Since you don't object, then the matter is decided, and the first wave of 'observers' are all sent to Yangzhou."
He Shen's voice sounded in the Jinluan Palace, like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of Emperor Qianlong and many ministers.
“……………”
After the Great Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Qianlong and He Shen were alone in the Qianqing Palace, and talked for a while.
Because, for the sake of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong was very satisfied, so he went to He Shen's side and patted him on the shoulder.
In the face of Emperor Qianlong's move, He Shen seemed to be flattered and surprised, and the whole person was uncontrollable, and he trembled.
“……………”
He said loudly: "Thank you for the emperor's trust in the minister, the minister will do his best for the emperor, and he will never let the emperor down!" ”
………
At this time, the conversation between him and Emperor Qianlong can be described as loyal to the king, the king loves the minister, and the king and the minister are harmonious.
It's a pity that He Shen's words and expressions at this time are all acting. And Emperor Qianlong's expression and words, without exception, were also acting.
The arrangement of the Queen Mother's birthday, for the disposal of Yangzhou salt merchants, is all in charge of He Shen, and according to Emperor Qianlong's intentions, it is still decentralization, and there is no need to care about anything else.
From the bright side, these two things are two huge fat differences, as long as you move a little, one or two million silver can go into your pocket.
If you are more courageous and your means are darker, it is not impossible to be greedy for four or five million taels of silver in one go.
If it were the original version of Heshen in the original history, he might think that the reason why Emperor Qianlong arranged it this way was to take care of him, a favored minister, and intended to let him earn some extra money as a reward for him.
However, the new version of He Shen, who knows the final fate of He Shen, can see the true meaning of Emperor Qianlong's arrangement.
It's a chilling meaning!
Emperor Qianlong regarded Heshen as a stinky rag that could be thrown away casually, and after being used, he could throw it into the trash at will.
For the birthday of the Queen Mother, as well as the disposal of Yangzhou salt merchants, it seems to be a beautiful difference, but in fact, as the person who handles these two things, He Shen is the one who takes the blame.
These two things are enough to cause a lot of turmoil in the court and among the people.
In this way, Heshen's various behaviors have spread, how do the government, the public, and the people view Heshen?
I am afraid that the crime of "demagogizing the king" and "harshly criticizing rich businessmen" is indispensable.
“………………”
And for the birthday of the Queen Mother, this kind of national-level ceremony, the disturbing people's hearts and people's power, and the national strength and silver money spent, in the eyes of the world, are all the fault of He Shen.
In short, Emperor Qianlong's action can be said to be extremely harmful to others and self-interested.
“…………”
He got all the benefits himself, he was so happy, and the purpose of leaving his name for eternity was also achieved, but all the infamy and troubles caused by this were all pushed to He Shen in one go.
Emperor Qianlong's hand "Tai Chi Tuina" was used to the peak.
"This hand of Emperor Qianlong is really calculating."
In the carriage, He Shen shook his head with a wry smile and said.
