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 grain."
"What?!" Qianlong's eyes widened when he heard this, "It's fine if the people dare to resist the imperial rations. 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 at 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?"
When Qianlong heard this, he nodded.
...
Immediately, Xiang Nan and Qianlong changed their attire, and then entered Jiaxing City together.
I saw the noisy streets, and everywhere I saw groups of villagers holding farm tools and looking menacing.
"Master, let's have a bowl of wonton first." Xiang Nan said to Qianlong with a smile when he saw many villagers eating in front of the wonton stall.
Qianlong nodded and sat down with him.
"Boss, two bowls of wontons~" Xiang Nan called out, 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 to die." The villagers were quite angry when they heard this.
"Hey, isn't your Jiaxing a land of fish and rice? How come there is no way out?" Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.
"Don't mention it. Since this spring, there has been a drought in Jiaxing Mansion, and there has been no harvest. Not only did the government not reduce or exempt the imperial rations, but they also charged 20% more.
We are driven to nowhere, what else can we do besides making trouble? "The villagers are still quite annoyed.
After hearing this, Qianlong's face turned ashen.
...
At this moment, a yamen servant wearing a brave uniform came over.
When these villagers saw it, they scattered in all directions.
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 poor man is awesome~" Xiang Nan laughed, "Boss, if you add two bad guys to the poor man, I will count them all on my account."
"Oh, how embarrassing that is." Seeing that Xiang Nan's clothes and attire were not like ordinary people, the yamen servant 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 who are 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 said with a smile.
"Then the common people make trouble like this, isn't the official afraid?" 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."
"Then 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 that the governor collects money?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't tell me you're talking nonsense."
"My son is just talking nonsense." Seeing that Xiang Nan looked down on him, the yamen servant hurriedly said, "To tell you the truth, I wasn't qualified to know. It wasn't that I shipped money to the governor's mansion in the first half of the year, but it turned out that I shipped too much money." , The boat was sunk. Sending people to salvage the secret was revealed."
"Do you dare to sign and draw a deposit for what you said?" Qianlong became more and more angry when he heard it, and couldn't help patting the stall.
"Hey, you are..." Seeing Qianlong's extraordinary aura and the scary words he said, the yamen servant immediately guessed the origin of the two of them, and ran away quickly 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.
In fact, the most important reason why corrupt officials continue to kill is to 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. The beam is crooked.
Just 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.
That being 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 who are so unscrupulous 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 cannot stop it. 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 10,000,000, or even a fine of 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 old enough 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 imperial 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 Your Majesty, the fishing boat in front is blocking the way and cannot pass." The guard Hui reported.
"Where did the fishing boat come from? It's so courageous." Qianlong said displeased, why did this trip to the south of the Yangtze River feel so unsatisfactory.
"My lord, it's the people praying for rain to the Dragon King and throwing some wood into the water, which caused the river to be congested." The guard explained.
"Your Majesty, the people pray for rain, and they also hope for a good harvest. You are the right man, 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 are you doing?" Qianlong asked suspiciously.
"Oh, this is the wood used to build the Dragon King Temple, and the common people call it Huang Liang." Xiang Nan explained.
"Huangliang? This name is quite interesting." Qianlong laughed.
