I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 18 The official government collapsed, the ruler and ministers were separated, and the first assistant was mad!

The data told by Mu Siyue made Gu Bingqian despair.

How can these people know the approximate assets of his family?

How do they know that he has a very good relationship with the sea merchants?
Could it be that they are really people from the Immortal Palace who descended from the sky?
Looking at his colleagues around him with disbelief and astonishment, he looked at Emperor Tianqi and King Xin, and he saw the astonishment and disbelief in each other's eyes.

King Xin and Emperor Tianqi received Confucian education and followed Confucian rules all their lives.

But what Mu Siyue said was too subverting their cognition and inherent concepts!

It turns out that none of the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty was a non-greedy person?
Wei Zhongxian next to him stared at Gu Bingqian with gloomy eyes!
He thought that Gu Bingqian was still useful, so he took care of this fellow villager.

But this guy turned out to be too greedy.

Linked to Jiangsu and Zhejiang maritime merchants behind his back?
An annual income of 200 million taels?

Wei Zhongxian admitted that he was jealous.

Gu Bingqian trembled and pointed at Mu Siyue, speechless.

Wanted to refute, but those who read jokes are not easy to deal with.

How could he, an old man with no strength to restrain a chicken, deal with these vigorous men.

Finished!

His face turned from white to red in an instant.

puff~
A mouthful of old blood was sprayed out by him.

"Master Gu!"

bang~
Another table was smashed.

"If you dare to yell again, I will cut you alive first, and then I will kill you Nine Clans!"

As soon as Chen Mu got angry, the scene suddenly restored order.

Mu Siyue smiled and gave Chen Mu a thumbs up.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Bingqian's appearance, his expression was not sad, but full of anger.

Looking at Gu Bingqian's appearance, the 200 million taels is definitely real.

Such a greedy person actually steals a high position?
Could it be that Daming is really in danger of subjugation, as these foreign visitors said?
King Xin looked at Gu Bingqian's sad face, full of satisfaction and surprise at the same time!
Two million taels, his annual service is only tens of thousands of taels. Although the emperor has been working as a carpenter, he is not rich.

These 200 million taels can supply the half-year salary of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong.

……

Seeing Emperor Tianqi and King Xin thoughtfully, Mu Siyue smiled.

Afterwards, she turned her firepower and said to Zhao Nanxing, the censor of Zuodu:
"Master Zhao, right? You said that your job as Zuodu Censor is very noble! But why do you have so much money?"

"Let me take a look, oh! You have a net worth of 12 taels, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land! Do you want to say that it was accumulated in the past 1000 years? But it seems that the tax-free land of a senior official like you is only [-] acres? Why do you have leftovers? Nearly [-] mu of fertile land don’t pay taxes?”

"Hey, your grandson is so flirtatious. He actually redeemed a few oirans in Yihong Courtyard. Let me see, Huo~ spent 1 taels of silver. Where did the silver come from?"

Zhao Nanxing, who was in his seventies and eighties, immediately turned as red as Gu Bingqian.

Mu Siyue looked at the people in the six parts again.

A piece of information about them came from Mu Siyue Cherry's mouth.

Every time a person is mentioned, the faces of these people become unsightly.

After talking to about ten people, Mu Siyue stopped talking: "Since ancient times, the superior and the subordinate have followed suit. Even the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are so greedy, let alone the gentry and petty officials below."

Wenwu and Xungui were silent.

King Xin, Emperor Tianqi, and a group of princesses, queens, and concubines listened to Mu Siyue's speech, but their expressions were even more strange when they saw no rebuttals from them!
If King Xin was angry, Tianqi was surprised, and Queen Zhang was terrified!
Honorable greed is an unspoken rule that everyone in Ming Dynasty knows.

But through Mu Siyue's narration, the civil servants and the emperor discovered that these nobles had completely become moths.

The Earl with the lowest net worth has tens of thousands of acres of land, and his family assets start with 50 taels.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty were not good at it.

Although there are occasionally one or two honest officials, ninety percent of them are corrupt.

Maybe the civil servants think that it is not easy to live in the capital, so how do Qingliu people say how poor they are.

But after each of Ming's big boss Mu Siyue revealed the dirty things before, he suddenly turned into a stinky bawd.

The upper and lower are effective, and whether the officials below are clear or not, it can be seen!
After talking about it, Chen Aiguo nodded, and Mu Siyue stepped back.

"Okay, this is the point where the bureaucracy breaks down: greed."

"When the administration of officials collapses, it will not only cause irreparable damage to the country's legal principles, but also cause the people to lose trust. When trust is lost, resentment will inevitably arise."

Chen Aiguo sighed and said: "Official governance is the foundation. When the Ming Dynasty's official governance collapsed, there were as many favoritism and wrongful cases as crucian carp crossing the river. And the use of loopholes in the law must be prohibited repeatedly."

Speaking of this, Chen Aiguo looked at the fainted Gu Bingqian: "It's like bending the law for personal gain, Mr. Gu is the most familiar with this, and the most familiar!"

puff~
The comatose Gu Bingqian spurted out a mouthful of old blood again.

"Master Gu! Master Gu!"

"Quick, go to the imperial doctor."

"We are under control, how can we find an imperial doctor?"

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Mu Siyue asked the team doctor Yuan Qingkai to come and check.

"Cerebral hemorrhage, it's a dementia after being rescued." Yuan Qingkai shook his head: "If your imperial doctor is capable, you can also save him."

Save the ass!
Who would dare to save Gu Bingqian at this time?
Isn't this pulling yourself into the water?
He died and deserved it!
The faces of Daming Wenwu, Tianqi, Xinwang, etc. are very ugly at the moment.

They guessed that Chen Aiguo was definitely talking about Gu Bingqian's pain point.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry that he died of shame.

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was extremely quiet, and when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Ming Dynasty felt sad for the death of the rabbit, an untimely laughter suddenly sounded.

It was Chen Mu who couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing: "The psychological quality is really bad, and I am so mad at myself!"

Chen Aiguo looked embarrassed, and then gave Chen Mu a vicious look.

These ancients value face so much, why don't you talk less?
Chen Mu understood Chen Aiguo's eyes.

So he held back and didn't laugh!
It's just a chest pain!

Chen Aiguo said sincerely: "You should thank Zhang Juzheng, if Zhang Juzheng hadn't appeared, the Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos long ago!"

He tried to get himself back into the normal rhythm of his speech.

"After the official administration of Ming Dynasty collapsed, all kinds of problems that existed long ago will become the fuse to destroy Ming Dynasty."

"In terms of law and order, the Jiangmen's family has a big tail, the guard system is completely collapsed, civil and military generals colluded with merchants, and sold food and supplies to Liaodong, let alone! The imperial power preferentially treats the royal family, resulting in hundreds of thousands of rice worms. You all know that it consumes countless daimyo’s tax resources to raise them for nothing.”

"Because civil servants have the right to exempt part of the land from taxation, after the collapse of the bureaucracy, land annexation became more and more serious, and countless taxes were diverted to the poor with only a dozen acres of poor land, resulting in miserable life for the poor! What was a good system in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China has turned into a bad government!"

"This is the consequence of the collapse of the government!"
