Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 529 530 [Killing endlessly]

  Xiang Nan went out immediately, and came back after a while, "Your Majesty, I found out clearly that the people of Jiaxing Mansion are making trouble, and they are fighting against the emperor's food."

   "What?!" Qianlong's eyes widened when he heard this, "The common people dare to resist the imperial rations, and that's fine. What does Jiaxing prefect Su Kuiwen do?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hands, "It just so happens that we are going to stop in Jiaxing Mansion. Why don't you and I dress up in plain clothes and hats, take a stroll in the city, try the local snacks, and then come back Ask what's going on?"

   Qianlong nodded when he heard this.

  …

  At that moment, Xiang Nan and Qianlong changed their attire, and then entered Jiaxing City together.

  I saw the noise on the street, and everywhere I saw groups of villagers holding farm tools and looking aggressive.

   "Master, let's have a bowl of wontons first." Seeing that many villagers were eating in front of the wonton stand, Xiang Nan smiled and said to Qianlong.

  Qianlong nodded and sat down with him.

   "Boss, two bowls of wonton~" Xiang Nan called out, and then smiled and said to the villagers, "Brother, why is your Jiaxing Mansion in such a mess today?"

   "Hey, don't mention it, the government is forcing the people to rebel. The government will not give us a way to survive, and we can't just sit and wait for death." The villagers were quite angry when they heard this.

   "Hey, isn't your Jiaxing a land of fish and rice? How come you don't even have a way to survive?" Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.

   "Don't mention it. Since the spring of this year, Jiaxing Mansion has been hit by a drought, and there is no harvest. Not only will the government not reduce or exempt the imperial grain, but it will increase it by 20%.

   We have been driven to nowhere, what else can we do besides making trouble? "The villagers are still quite annoyed.

  After hearing this, Qianlong turned pale.

  …

  At this moment, a yamen servant wearing a brave uniform came over.

  When these villagers saw it, they scattered and left.

  The yamen servant sneered, and sat in front of the wonton booth, "Old loach, big bowl of wonton~"

   "Okay." The stall owner glanced at him, a little daring to speak out.

   "This bad guy is awesome~" Xiang Nan laughed, "Boss, if you add two bad guys to the bad guy, I will count them all on my account."

   "Oh, how embarrassing that is." The yamen servant saw that Xiang Nan's clothes and clothes were not like ordinary people, and he was flattered and said.

   "It's okay, I'm easy to make friends." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Let me ask, what's going on here, why is it so messy?"

"Don't mention it. Just because of this, we almost died of exhaustion." The yamen servant curled his lips and said, "Thousands of ordinary people are making trouble around the entrance of the yamen, and we are the only few yamen servants guarding the door. As long as one doesn't Be careful, we'll all be meat paste."

   "Then you have worked really hard." Xiang Nan comforted, "Why are the common people making trouble? Isn't it right to pay the emperor's rations?"

"That's right. Hey, I blame the official for being too dark-hearted." The yamen servant said, "The grain in the official warehouse was full, and the grain for the emperor was rich and abundant. But it suddenly emptied in the past two days, ah, but The warehouses of major grain companies are full.”

   "So, Master Guan sold all the grain in the official warehouse to grain merchants?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Hey, do you need to explain it clearly?" The yamen servant laughed.

   "Aren't the officials afraid of the common people making trouble like this?" Xiang Nan asked again.

   "Hey, let's make a fuss. How many times do we not make a fuss every year, but can the arms twist the legs?" The yamen servant said disdainfully, "It's really a fuss. When the governor's army arrived, they all frightened back."

   "The governor doesn't care about this?" Xiang Nan asked.

   "Hey, he collects the most money, who else can he control?" The yamen servant curled his lips and said.

   "Yo, yo, you know the Governor takes money?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't make it up."

"My son is talking nonsense." Seeing that Xiang Nan looked down on him, the yamen servant hurriedly said, "To tell you the truth, I was not qualified to know. This is not the first half of the year to transport money to the governor's mansion, but it turned out that too much money was transported." , The boat was sunk. Sending people to salvage the secret was revealed."

   "Do you dare to sign and sign what you said?" Qianlong became more and more angry when he heard it, and couldn't help patting the stall.

   "Hey, you are..." The yamen servant saw Qianlong's extraordinary aura, and the words he said were scary, and immediately guessed the origin of the two, and ran away without even thinking about food.

Qianlong didn't even bother to eat any more, so he took Xiang Nan back to the boat, "It's extremely hateful! It's extremely hateful! I just chopped down Wang Danwang and captured Chen Huizu. There are more than a hundred heads. Why can't I deter these corrupt officials? "

  Xiang Nan remained silent.

  Actually, the main reason why corrupt officials continue to be killed is that they follow the example.

The emperor is the biggest corrupt official. He owns the most land, the most money, the most slaves, and the most women... He is greedy by nature, wishing that all the best things in the world belong to him. Crooked.

   Like He Shen. Qianlong also knew that he was a corrupt official. But Qianlong wanted to use him to hold money, so even if he was greedy, Qianlong forgave him many times.

  Since this is the case, corrupt officials will naturally be killed endlessly.

"Your majesty, you can't be merciful this time." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "It's not wrong for you to be tolerant like the ancestor emperor, but I hate those corrupt officials because of this. kindness is regarded as protection.

  In this way, they become more and more greedy, and the more greedy they become, the more they can't hold back. In the early years of Qianlong, the infantry commander Eshan was executed for embezzling Qianliang. But now, if there is a thousand taels of corruption, all you need to do is to confiscate the income and pay twenty taels.

  The minister is worried that if things go on like this, sooner or later, officials will embezzle 10,000, 20,000, or even 100,000, or even a million, or they may just fine money.

  By then, the world will be full of corrupt officials. Your majesty, that can't be dealt with. "

"Ji Xiaolan, you just like to scare people. I'm not too confused to be like that." Qianlong waved his hand and said, "Heshen should still be in Hangzhou, and give him an order to supervise and kill Chen Huizu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang! Jiaxing asked him to pay for the trouble. I'll check it out, if you don't check it out, don't go back to Beijing!"

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.

  …

  The royal boat stopped in Jiaxing for one night, and then continued on its way.

  Not long after leaving the pier, the boat stopped again.

   "What's going on?" Qianlong asked.

   "Report to the Holy Majesty, the fishing boat ahead is blocking the way and cannot pass." The guard reported.

   "Where did the fishing boat come from? It's so courageous." Qianlong said displeased, why this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is so unsatisfactory.

   "My Majesty, it's the people offering sacrifices to the Dragon King to pray for rain and throwing some wood into the water, which caused the river to be congested." The guard explained.

   "Your Majesty, when the people pray for rain, they also hope for a good harvest. You are the Son of Heaven, why don't you help me too." Xiang Nan suggested with a smile.

   "I'm going to pray for rain too?" Qianlong was taken aback, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

  The two of them came to the bow of the boat and saw some wood floating on the river, with layers of yellow paper stuck on it, which looked rather weird.

   "What is this for?" Qianlong asked doubtfully.

   "Oh, this is the wood used to build the Dragon King Temple. The common people call it Huangliang." Xiang Nan explained.

   "Huangliang? This name is quite interesting." Qianlong laughed.
