Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 371 Useless!

When was he the grand Zuo Xiang of the Song Dynasty, ever been tricked like this?
When have you been so useless?

But since Wu Zhi came to the court, he didn't know how much anger he suffered.

It's a pity that he has no choice. Wu Zhi is making money for the officials. You have to be convinced, otherwise you don't talk about the fact that he himself was caught. As long as Wu Zhi tells the officials that he disagrees, the officials will be unhappy first. !

Hey.

Cai Jing had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Not to mention being a pig himself, he also wants to be the leading pig, persuading others to be cheated with him.

Thinking about this makes me angry.

Cai Jing quickly told his group of people and other courtiers about the matter.

The first is the Privy Council.

Cai Jing is in charge of this place.

When the news spread, the entire Privy Council exploded.

300 taels a month, more than 1 taels a year!

What's more, it's still six years?

Close to 10 taels?
You know, even with Cai Jing's status, how much salary is only a year?It's close to 4000 taels of silver.

Not to mention the money embezzled by Cai Jing, other courtiers also embezzled a lot, but so much money is still very scary.

Many people began to scold Wu Zhi.

But Cai Jing had a handle and was caught by Wu Zhi, so he had to come out to smooth things over, persuading them that Wu Zhi was acting as a photoshoot for the official family, and it's okay if you don't cooperate.

Seeing how everyone was arguing and cursing like this, Cai Jing shook his head: "Everyone, I am forced to do nothing about this, and the officials are all aware of it. If we don't pay, the officials will definitely be unhappy!"

Wang Fu: "Master Cai, I think all the ministers want to unite to join the King of Yan. I don't believe that the King of Yan can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Isn't this obviously cheating our money?"

"Shen?" A courtier said with a smile: "Shen's move? They are nominally for the official family, and we are dissatisfied with the official family when we participate in Wuzhi, and the official family will follow us?"

Cai Jing: "Don't quarrel, everyone. This matter is not forced. The old man is also cooperating. You can do it voluntarily. If anyone doesn't want to take money, he can not take it. I won't force everyone!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone stopped doing it.

Wang Fu: "Although this is voluntary, what should we do if the official has made an account and affects our promotion in the future?"

"This is too bullying. Although it is voluntary, what is the difference from coercion?"

That's right, no one is forcing you, but if you don't give money, people will watch it. Do you give it or not?

Although it is not explicitly forced, but what is the difference?
The key is that you can't find trouble.

People really didn't force it.

A minister roared. If he took out some of the money he had saved so hard, he would be bleeding from his heart: "This King Yan is squeezing our money. It is so presumptuous to act so recklessly!"

"Does it mean that if I don't wait to buy watermelons and order his dishes, then I won't serve the country?"

"Absurd, simply absurd!"

The scene was like a vegetable market, with fierce quarrels.

Although they are stubborn, they also know that there is really no way to do this.

The reservation is still to be made.

the next day.

In the back garden.

Wu Zhi was by the river at the moment, Song Huizong sat on a chair, asked someone to bring over a pile of thick notebooks, and said with a smile: "King Yan, do you see that, these are all about you!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to read these things!"

He roughly took a look at it: "Most of the articles written on it are that many officials have no money in their hands. This move makes them very hard-pressed and embarrassing. It makes life difficult for officials, but this is a good thing!"

"It's better for officials to have a hard time than for the common people in the world!

The common people are having a hard time because they want to rebel. These officials gave them 1 courage, and the military power is in the hands of His Majesty, so they can't make any waves. "

"..." Song Huizong felt that what Wu Zhi said made sense.

Since ancient times, I have only heard of officials forcing people to rebel, but I have never heard of officials wanting to rebel.

Because the people are struggling to make ends meet, they can't even eat enough to eat, so of course they want to rebel.

But how the officials are doing, what to eat and drink, these are still no problem.

As for those officials who are clean and honest, Wu Zhi will also deal with them as appropriate, and can make them pay less, but many officials must pay.

Of course, this is all voluntary.

"They have embezzled a lot of money over the years, it's time to take some out, King Yan, your idea is very good!"

With Wu Zhi around, Song Huizong became a lot bolder.

He is very happy to cheat courtiers like this.

Song Huizong laughed: "If King Yan succeeds, he will have to spend a lot of money, right?"

"It's conservatively estimated to be more than 2000 million!" Wu Zhi said with a smile: "These can all be used for military expenses, the treasury doesn't move, and the oppressors are all officials, which is not bad!"

Song Huizong: "I agree with King Yan's move, but I can't force them too hard. I'm really worried about their recklessness!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you don't know how rich these officials are! They buy a mansion on weekdays, and the house of 1+ taels doesn't even lift their eyelids, and according to the system of our Song Dynasty, officials It is a share of the fertile land!"

"Not to mention anything else, it's just a small county magistrate, allocating more than 7000 mu of fertile land. They release the land and get a lot of rent every year. You don't have to do anything to get money. Don't look at their salary. There is a lot of richness in this hand!"

"This is just a county magistrate, not to mention the officials in Bianjing, everyone has at least a few hundred thousand taels in their hands."

Song Huizong's eyes were shocked: "The king of Yan is right. According to this, we still have less?"

Wu Zhi: "You can say that!"

Song Huizong smiled: "No wonder you proposed to take back the fertile land, so many courtiers wished to crash into the hall!"

Wu Zhi: "That's right, but it's impossible to crash to death. Even if they don't have these fertile fields, everyone has family and wealth, which is enough for them to live a wealthy life. They are just pretending! If they are really bumped, they will Be honest!"

"Actually, what we did was to take some of the money from these corrupt officials back into the national treasury, lest they do anything unscrupulous, and we will indeed return some of the money they got from corruption!"

"Besides, we didn't force them. If they don't have money, they can leave."

Song Huizong nodded: "Yan Wang is right!"

Wu Zhi knew that Da Song had extremely high benefits for officials.

But these officials live well, but they burden the imperial court every year.

In this way, you can also reduce some stress.

The more silver in the treasury, the better.

In this situation, if the Song Dynasty continues to develop, there is no problem with the economic growth. If the economy of the Song Dynasty fails, these burdens will soon overwhelm the Song Dynasty. When they find out and want to save it, it is too late .

Such problems have already arisen.

In the final analysis, its source is from Zhao Kuangyin. This person is afraid that future generations will learn from his mutiny, so he designed many departments to restrict each other and improve the treatment of officials.

Anyway, don't let them dominate alone, let him concentrate the power in his hands, and be able to control the overall situation.

It's like the Privy Council, everything needs to be transferred through here.

Allowing power to be too dispersed and not allowing its generals to support troops, but there are also disadvantages, which is also one of the reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

You have to wait for orders for everything, so what a fart fight!

Fortunately, this kind of situation rarely happened when Wu Zhi was fighting, because Wu Zhi made great contributions, had a high status, led his own troops and was ordered by officials, so the constraints were very small.

Now that Wu Zhi wants to establish a government department, he will be in charge of the power alone. Unfortunately, it is only in Yanyun now, and it has not been established in Song Dynasty.

In short, what Wu Zhi established was to do practical things and make meritorious deeds, and the Great Song Dynasty had to argue for a long time about some small things, and there was no efficiency in doing things at all.

Wu Zhi is not in a hurry, as long as Yanyun's work is done well, Da Song's implementation will be fast.

Wu Zhi does not form cliques, so Song Huizong is still very relieved.

After all, Wu Zhi was closer to Zeng Bu, and the others basically didn't have much contact with each other.

As long as you don't form cliques, Song Huizong is very relieved, and Wu Zhi is very capable. If you really want to do something, you can fight directly without so much trouble.

This is why Song Huizong was relieved...

Over time.

These days, courtiers participating in Wuzhi's memorials have not stopped.

Wu Zhi didn't have to worry at all, because Song Huizong was with Wu Zhi, and it was useless to join him.

Even if it is useless, because it involves self-interest issues.The courtiers are still working hard.

It's the morning.

A large group of courtiers united to visit him again.It can be said that the momentum is amazing!
