Chapter 46: The Salted Fish Eating Melons 18

But he said that soon an official suddenly fell ill and was about to die, and wanted to arrange a place for his son, who had no interest, and found a few people who had cooperated that day, and wanted them to help, but as a result, those people did not want to wade into this troubled water and did not plan to help, so the official was unhappy, and said that he was going to retire, and when the time came, he was not afraid of wearing shoes, and if they didn't help him, he would poke out what they had done that day, and even if his family was unlucky, they wouldn't think about it.

In fact, it is a threat, because if you say it, it will not be good for his family.

However, their family came from a small family, he was about to retire, and the children in the family were unproductive, so they were completely in decline.

Although he shared one or two million taels of silver in the Wang's house last time, the family did not have an official in the court, and once the money was known, it was easy for someone to take it away.

At that time, there were so many people involved in the distribution of spoils, and the news that their family had money would spread sooner or later, that is, if no one in the family was an official, the money would be lost sooner or later, so there must be an official in the family.

- Although they were greedy for a total of 100 million taels of silver, there were too many people involved, and it was good that he could divide one or two million taels of silver here, and seal them there.

Besides, money is difficult to keep, and if your children and grandchildren don't fight, they are a loser, and they can be defeated with any amount of money.

On the contrary, as an official, even if he is incapable, as long as he stays honest, he will not lose his official position, and he will have a guarantee, so he wants to find a position for his son.

It's also that he has too high expectations for his son, and he has always expected his son to make achievements in the imperial examination, so he wants to wait for his son to win the Jinshi in the imperial examination, even if he can't win the Jinshi, it's okay to win, who knows, for so many years, his son has not been promoted, so he wasted his time in vain.

How do you know that now that he is suddenly sick, he has not been able to get better, so he can only be Zhishi, and at this time, he found that he had not arranged a way out for his sons, so he hurriedly asked someone to help.

I thought that I hadn't done it for the time being, but those people would help if they looked at their own face, plus they still had the handle in their own hands.

Who knew that they were so indifferent that they saw that they were sick and were about to become a minister, and that his family was going to be down, so they treated him slowly, which made him not angry.

It is said that people go to tea to cool down, but he is good, and the tea is cold before he leaves.

In that case, let's have a jade burn.

Anyway, if it is going to decline, then if you say it, although it will damage you, it will do more damage to those families, because they have not yet retired, and they are still high-ranking officials in the court.

In fact, it is precisely because he was born in a small family, he retired, and his children in the family have no interest, the family will completely decline, and others don't want to help, if his family is a big family, how dare those people refuse.

Of course, if the big family doesn't need to find these people who have the handle in his hands, it is estimated that if you find someone at random, you can help his son arrange things, after all, the dynasty has been running for more than a hundred years, and it has become more and more corrupt, and the matter of running for officials is commonplace, and powerful people can easily find something to do for the children of the family.

Those who were threatened by him didn't take his words to heart at all, thinking that he was just sending threats, and they didn't dare to really say it, after all, if he said it, even if he reported it meritorious, the emperor would not punish him, but the one or two million taels of silver he took at that time would definitely have to be handed over, and then he would definitely lose his official position immediately, and he couldn't wait for Zhishi, and then he had no money, and he lost his official, how would their family live in the future? It's not just a lip service.

The official who was about to retire from illness really only intended to threaten and threaten, because as they said, if he really poked this thing out, his money would be gone, and the life of the family would be even more difficult at that time.

But at this moment, seeing that everyone treated him like this, even if he threatened them, they still didn't take it to heart, and the anger in his heart jumped higher and higher, and he really wanted to poke it out.

But...... He still can't break the net in the end, so although he hates to death by looking at the performance of each family, he has been hesitating and has not made up his mind.

Linlang saw him hesitating, he was ready to "help" him.

It just so happened that the money that the emperor copied from the Wang family last time was almost used - although there were tens of millions of dollars, the year the emperor received the money, he was exempted from taxes for one year, so that the financial expenditure of the year was used with this money.

After that, he began to build water conservancy on a large scale, and sent troops to clean up the Hu people who had been disturbing the border before - the Hu people had been disturbing the border before, but because the expenditure of sending troops was very large and the finances were tight, they had been mainly defending, and the border guards would rarely lead the soldiers to attack.

This time, with money, the emperor bought a lot of horses, trained cavalry, and sent troops to fight the Hu people once again when they ran over to disturb the border.

Because of the money, good equipment, and the fact that the Hu people were used to disturbing the border, the Central Plains Imperial Court would not attack, thinking that this time would be the same, and they lost their defense, so they successfully attacked the Hu people once.

Whether it is building water conservancy or sending troops to fight, it burns money, so the 100 million yuan will be spent quickly.

Now the imperial court is nervous again, so at this time, get out the money that these people are greedy for, and the imperial court will be able to use the money again, and this time, the water conservancy has almost been repaired, and the battle has been fought, unlike before, where there was too much money, this time there are fewer places to spend money, and this money can be used for a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Linlang said to do it.

said that the official who was about to retire was still hesitating left and right, and the emperor received a secret report from Linlang.

Hearing that the Wang family, who had taken every precaution at the beginning, had finally taken away a huge figure of 100 million, the emperor was naturally angry and almost vomited blood.

He also thought that he had a good defense, and copied out 100 million yuan, which was very proud, but as a result, he was taken away by someone and 100 million, which was almost the same as the amount he gained.

These people are greedy for so much money, which naturally makes the emperor very angry.

At that moment, the emperor sent someone to investigate secretly, and found that there was indeed something wrong with the money spent by these people, and immediately understood that this anonymous report letter was true, and immediately decided to copy several people in the report letter, and then clean up these people, so that they dare to do such a thing.

If these people get money, it's useless for a while, the emperor may not be able to find out, but it's a pity, with so much money, who can bear not to use it at all, and once it is used, it is often uncontrollable, because spending money is easy to be addicted, so it will be discovered, and their expenses are completely inconsistent with their income, which is normal.

In fact, at first they did not dare to use it, for fear of being discovered, but then they wanted to use the money, and after secretly using it, they found that the emperor did not move, obviously, the emperor did not find that their family was greedy for money, so as time went on, they became more and more daring to use it, so they were discovered by the emperor at this time.
