Chapter 199 Investigation of Corruption in the Household Department

"But the fate of the heir can be difficult to find, and Your Majesty is not a faint monarch who is obsessed with beauty, so it is not easy to get an heir.

And now, a great opportunity is in front of him, as long as he has only three thousand taels of silver, it is possible to have the emperor's heir!

If the grass people are the elders in the family, when they learn the news, even if they borrow it and make it up, they have to make up enough money for their daughter to get the three thousand taels of silver! ”

Meng Changce smiled at the corner of his lips, his dark eyes surged, and the words that overflowed his lips and teeth were full of temptation:

"Three thousand taels of silver for a prince and princess, does Your Majesty feel a loss?"

Emperor Qingde smiled behind his back, and the smile on the corner of his lips was even stronger: "Changce, Changce, do you know what kind of consequences these words will lead to if they are placed on top of the court?" ”

Meng Changce smiled slightly, his black eyes full of cunning.

He said lightly: "It is nothing more than being impeached by those officials, and the most serious thing is to be exiled from the family." ”

Emperor Qingde laughed and stretched out his finger at him, "You and Concubine Xi really deserve to be brothers and sisters, what a living treasure!" ”

"Do you know how much the monthly salary of a first-class official is? You are from a merchant background, and there is no shortage of silver taels, but for them, three thousand taels is by no means a small amount! ”

"As an official, every money on the surface has a source. The monthly salary of a first-class official is 180 taels, and Lu rice is 180 hundred, excluding daily expenses, it is good to save 50 taels a month. ”

"Three thousand taels, how can it be so easy!"

Emperor Qingde looked at him, with some undeniable contempt in his eyes, "You have been immersed in business since you were a child, and you know very little about these things, what you seem to be simple and easy to get, but for them, it is difficult and abnormal, and it takes a lot of hardships and countless mental and physical strength to get it!" ”

"You seem to be a simple and easy process, but they have to go through countless attempts and failures, and it is much more difficult to earn money in officialdom than it is for you businessmen to do business."

Emperor Qingde's sudden change in tone and the disdain hidden in his eyes had already made Meng Changce see through him.

Shinong industry and commerce, business is the lowest.

The children of the family looked down on the merchants, and he, the emperor, was also disdainful.

This emperor was polite to them on the surface, and gave them official titles, but in fact, he looked down on them at all in his heart.

On the surface, he was so good to them, just to stabilize them, and when they were still useful, squeeze out the last trace of value of the Hao family, and then abandon it like a piece of.

But the interaction between people is like buying and selling.

The essence is equivalent exchange.

The emperor needs the Hao family, but what does the Hao family not seek from the emperor?

The biggest problem of the Hao family is that they are businessmen and cannot immerse themselves in officialdom, which is why they will be restrained everywhere, and they will be forced to hand over money to keep their lives.

But if the Hao family can one day be like the Wei and Shen families, the power of the world, covering the sky with one hand-

For the first time, his indifferent eyes brought ambitions that did not correspond to his age.

What their Hao family has to do is never to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but to ......

Be a cat's paw!

Meng Changce's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his rosy lips provoked a smile that seemed to be absent.

Said slowly: "What Your Majesty said is that the official does not want the name of honesty and fairness to fall on him. ”

"But in this officialdom, there are people with clean sleeves, some people spend money like dirt, some people live a cold life, and some people are so rich.

Before joining the office, who doesn't want to aspire to be a good official who is honest and honest and loved by the people, but in fact, how many people can stick to their original intention and really not be corrupt? ”

He shook his head, his eyes were full of clarity, "Officials protect each other, and the dealings are not just based on friendships, sometimes they also have appropriate 'meanings'." ”

But when this meaning becomes a tacit rule within the court, it is really ...... The country will not be a country. ”

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Qingde's expression changed suddenly, "Do you know what you're talking about?!" ”

Meng Changce was not afraid at all, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't that the reason why Your Majesty let the grass people enter the department?" Three thousand taels is just an introduction. ”

"Since every official's accounts are traceable on the surface, it is clear that their income is not enough to support these three thousand taels!"

"Isn't this the real reason why Your Majesty allowed Concubine Xi to sell pills? You want to use the ambition of the harem lady to pull out the corrupt officials in the court! ”

After Meng Changce finished speaking, he knelt down on his knees and arched his hand and said: "The treasury is empty, someone needs to rectify the rule of officials, someone needs to stand up and ask for the people's life, and someone needs to do their best for the country." ”

"Your Majesty has the heart to display your ambitions and seek benefits for the people, but the road to the court is tortuous and rugged, even if Your Majesty has the heart to rectify, but you still need to be cautious and cautious, step by step!"

"Today, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the court is smoky, although the grass people have no talent, they are fortunate to be appreciated by His Majesty and give the grass people a chance, and the grass people will do their best for Your Majesty and pull out the cancer of the court as soon as possible!"

"I will live up to your expectationsβ€”β€”!

He was thin, but there was a majestic righteousness between his eyebrows, surging endlessly.

When Emperor Qingde saw and heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't help but get excited with his words, "People with lofty ideals can work for the community and the people, and I am very pleased!" Long-term, you will have a bright future! ”

Meng Changce: "The grass people do not seek a bright future, but they seek a safe society." ”

"Good! He is worthy of the person I fancied! Emperor Qingde couldn't help but pat Meng Changce's shoulder excitedly.

Then he said: "Hubu Shangshu is my person, he will arrange an official position for you, rest assured, it will not be lower than the fifth grade, when this matter is completed, the position of Hubu Shilang is yours." ”

Tobe Squire?

Meng Changce was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't get around this position, it seemed that it was really fate.

Thinking of this, Meng Changce couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I wish Your Majesty and the grass people all their wishes come true and succeed." ”

Emperor Qingde was satisfied with what he heard, and laughed, "It's time for you to change your words!" ”

Meng Changce reacted immediately, lowered his head and chuckled, and changed his words: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will be fortunate not to disgrace his life!" ”

"Good! After three days, let's get ready and go to the head of the department to take office! ”

"And-"

Emperor Qingde looked at him, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "You don't have to tell Concubine Xi about this matter, the harem is not as good as the previous dynasty, and there are many places where there are more women, and I am not afraid that Concubine Xi will make a mistake, but I don't want her to get involved in these rights and wrongs that may make her hurt." ”

"Concubine Xi can be so favored by His Majesty, it is a blessing for my Hao family!"

Meng Changce gave his hand again: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there will be no third person who knows about this matter except for Your Majesty and the ministers!" ”

"Well, the stakes are very high, and the implications are widespread, and I believe that you are measured."

Meng Changce grinned, "This is natural. ”

Then after the emperor left, he turned his head and told Hao Yu.
