Chapter 33 Corruption is also a rule

"Yinzhen came to Shanghai to build an ocean-going fleet and local government affairs. I will not interfere randomly. I am very pleased that the two adults have such thoughts." Yinzhen changed his mind, "Minister Xu, I will investigate along the river tomorrow morning. In the past few days, you will arrange a few familiar yamen runners to accompany you."

"The official understands, the official will go back and arrange it now." Xu Shizhen bowed and said, "Report to the Fourteenth Master, five missionaries from Jiangning come to him, saying that it was the Fourteenth Master, you ordered him..." [The latest updates are all in the search.]

Yinzhen didn't expect Min Ming to move so quickly, so he said indifferently: "It's that the case, please let them come over."

Xu Shizhen hesitated a little, looked at Zhu Yanzhi, and then he responded, "Zhe." Then he bowed and turned around and left.

When Xu Shizhen left, Zhu Yanzhi said, "The Fourteenth Master was decisive at the beginning of getting off the car, which really made the officials ashamed. However, the Fourteenth Master was more cautious about the missionary matter. As early as the fourth year of the Holy Lord, the emperor issued an order that Western missionaries were limited to activities in Guangzhou."

There is also this? Yinzhen was shocked. In the future, more and more Westerners and missionaries came to Shanghai. If someone impeached someone who "deceptions the emperor and disrespects the order," although there is nothing at the moment, it will be a serious crime when it comes to the situation. "Mr. Zhu reminded me very much." As he said, he looked at Zhu Yanzhi with satisfaction. This person is worthy of having been in the officialdom for a long time. He really needs someone around him who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He doesn't know if there are such talents among the masters he has taken. He is eager to go on a journey along the way, and he really has no time to touch their details.

Seeing Yinzhen so humble, Zhu Yanzhi was also happy, "It is really a blessing for Songjiang to send the 14th Master to take charge of Shanghai."

There are too many facts to do at hand. Yinzhen didn't have time to procrastinate and said straight to the point: "I won't say these clichés. Tell me, what happened to you?"

Zhu Yanzhi did not expect that Yinzhen had a keen insight into what happened to him in just a few words. He secretly admired him. He was worthy of coming out of the capital and had such insight at a young age. He knew that his affairs would not last long before the other party knew that since he wanted to hang out on this big tree, he had to treat each other sincerely. He immediately knelt down with a "bang".

When Yinzhen saw him kneeling, he felt that the matter was a little serious, so he immediately shouted out, "Dachun, disperse."

"Zhe." Dachun responded, waved his hand and took the people out to disperse the warning.

"Get up and say it." Yinzhen frowned slightly.

After Zhu Yanzhi got up and sat down, he explained what Gali did to Jiangnan in detail.

Before coming to Shanghai, Yinzhen had a general understanding of the officials in Jiangsu. When he heard that Gali impeachment and dismissed it was the governor, governor, and inspector of Jiangsu, and four officials from the Taoist government. All of these seven were Han officials. This was a senior Han official in Jiangsu Province. Why did Gali dare to be so arrogant and domineering when he took office? Is he like this, or was there any instructing Kangxi behind him?

Liangjiang is the fundamental place of the court. Did Kangxi want to use the Manchus to control Liangjiang? It is impossible. Kangxi was not so short-sighted, which was incompatible with the Manchu-Han unity he advocated. He was best known for his reputation and face and could not rely on himself. It was not Kangxi's instruction, but it was the issue of Gali. When Gali first arrived in Liangjiang, he fought for power with the governor, which is the so-called dispute between governors. This situation must be inevitable. However, the dispute between governors and governors had never seen such a big move. What reliance did he dare to sweep the Jiangsu officialdom?

"It seems that the infringement of money and grain and the deduction of river money and grain are both true." Yinzhen sighed.

"I won't hide it from the Fourteenth Master." Zhu Yanzhi knelt on the ground without realizing it, saying with a shame: "In recent years, Jiangsu Province has been in good weather, no flood or drought. The money and grain allocated to control rivers every year have been divided layer by layer. This is not the only one in the official position, nor is it just Jiangsu. In fact, the entire Jiangnan is like this, and the official position is just a combination of light."

Yinzhen originally knew the administration of the late Kangxi years, but he didn't expect that it would be so good that no official was clean under his butt. No wonder Gali had the courage to sweep the Jiangsu officialdom. After a while, he said hatefully: "He Guang Tong Chen, what a good Lu Dong Chen, I'm afraid the world will be destroyed by these four words in the future."

Hearing Yinzhen's heart-killing words, Zhu Yanzhi leaned down on the ground with a weak body. These things could not be hidden anyway, and he would not regret it if he said them. Instead, he felt a sense of ease in his whole body.

Official administration is a big article, Official administration ** Kangxi didn't realize it, but why didn't he rectify it? Yinzhen couldn't figure out Kangxi's thoughts, and thought in his heart that he should build a fleet first, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it. At this time, he suddenly thought of the October residence report, Kangxi issued an edict to exempt Jiangsu from the disaster-stricken Huai, Yang, Xu, Shandong, and Guide in Henan next year's land tax. Is this guy lying to me?

"You said that Jiangsu has no disasters. What happened to the Emperor issued an edict in October to exempt Jiangsu from the disaster-stricken Huaian, Yangzhou and Xuzhou governments next year?"

Zhu Yanzhi did not expect that such a big loophole would be revealed in one sentence. Hearing Yinzhen's cold voice, he felt a little frightened. However, since things had come to this point, he could not hide it. He had to grit his teeth and said, "Huai, Yang, Xu's three palaces, there are minor disasters, but they are not as good as exempting taxes. The reason for reporting this is to use the Ding Fu of the Three Palaces to fill the previous deficits. Even if we seized 80% of the money and grain from the river, it is used to fill the previous deficits. We only lost 20% of the benefits."

The deficits of previous positions? Yinzhen was curious now. The Qing officials were so enlightened that they had greedy for 80% of the gains from private bribery to fill the deficits of previous positions? This is really a strange story in the world.

Seeing Yinzhen's face full of disbelief, Zhu Yanzhi continued: "Erba Kai is a prescribed rule over the years. This kind of thing is almost public in the entire Jiangnan officialdom. Everyone knows the tricks, but no one can explain it thoroughly."

Yinzhen was completely speechless now. There are still certain rules for corruption. Is this a precedent for history? He couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter with the previous deficits you mentioned?"

After hearing Yinzhen's question, Zhu Yanzhi was stunned. The young master did not believe this. He hurriedly explained: "The Jiangnan is rich, and officials do not expect public funds, so the deficit in Jiangnan is different from other places. It is mainly caused by embezzlement. The embezzlement of the Shengjia Southern Tour and previous military affairs are the main reasons for the deficit, and these deficits need to be filled year by year."

So that's it. During the sixth southern tour of Kangxi, no one in Liangjiang officials wanted to curry favor with the peace and cater to the will of the sage. Anyway, it was the money from Huafu Treasury. Who was heartbroken? The silver was not as spent as water. It was the Three Feudals, Taiwan, Galdan, and Tsarist Russia. Which time, Liangjiang was not a severely affected area? In addition to normal taxes, there must be temporary commissions. No wonder Kangxi knew that the administration was beginning to be corrupt, but the original root was in this.

It seems that you have to make some money and help Kangxi clean up the last tent of the southern tour first. Only then can the administration be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be a bad person. Thinking of this, Yinzhen looked at Zhu Yanzhi who was lying on the ground. This person was neither good nor bad, and there was no good official, but he was called a capable official, but he was just a pitiful person who stood in the wrong team and was a victim of the dispute between the governor and the governor. It was easy to protect him. A fourth-rank official was just a matter of one sentence, but if he didn't knock, he would not achieve success in the end. However, if he was in Jiangnan, he could bring him closer to the Han officials in Jiangnan, which would be more conducive to his development in Shanghai.
