The total wealth of Qingshandao is only so small? Isn’t it too ugly to eat?

All the industries in Qingshan Road in the county town are sold, and they are worth at least 50 million taels and 60 million taels. This is a matter of less.

Looking at Xiong Yan's puzzled look, Lihua sighed: "Hey, it's all the officials below who are too greedy. Of course, it's also related to the court's system."

"The court has always been relatively strict in investigating illegal corruption, illegal wealth accumulation, tax evasion, etc.."

"Not only rules and regulations, officials of the Taxation Department often take out treasures that symbolize the fortune of a province, the fortune of a state, and the fortune of a county, and check it carefully."

"After all kinds of methods, the more primitive corruption method is gone. For example, now, when you give money directly, no one wants it. It's not that you don't want it, but that you dare not ask for it. It's really too cruel to apply Taoism to arrest corrupt officials."

"The vast majority of corrupt officials are difficult to deal with when facing a Taoist law that targets their original intentions. Therefore, this leads to a phenomenon that even if they reach a certain level, even if they are corruption, the means are obscure. They can be openly and upright and claim that they have never been greedy."

"For example? What kind of means is called open and honest corruption, and can you claim that you have no corruption?" Xiong Yan was really curious this time.

"And, it's not right. Last time I gave the gift to the county magistrate and asked him to set aside more space, wouldn't the county magistrate happily take it?"

"The county magistrate who last time was already an old man. Moreover, he was just a juren. With his skills, the county magistrate would be almost over."

"In this life, there is basically no hope for high promotion. In this way, corruption will be greedy, and at most it is unlikely to be promoted."

"And this matter is different. This is a major rebellion case, a case that countless officials and even the central officials of the court are paying attention to. Such a major case, open and upright corruption, will not work."

In other words, there are many people watching, so it is not easy to be greedy directly, so you have to be greedy indirectly.

"Well, then how did they do it?"

"For example, the six-story restaurant in the west of the city is the property of Aoyama Road. You know, Your Highness?"

After recalling it, Xiong Yan nodded. He had visited the restaurant himself. It tasted delicious and had a very local characteristic. It was a restaurant with a very good business.

"Your Highness thinks, how much is this restaurant worth?"

"Well, the whole restaurant has good feng shui, and there are also complete arrays that have been set up long ago around it. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The sixth floor has a special setting, which can be said to be like spring in all seasons."

"In addition, it is located in a downtown city, with a large flow of people and a good business. This kind of restaurant with a good prospect and a very profitable profit is at least one million taels."

One million taels is the price in Xiong Yanxin. In fact, if sold on the market, one million taels are not impossible.

"However, when the court officials evaluated the value of this restaurant, it was only considered 300,000 taels. The reasons for the price reduction were also varied, but the final result was that this restaurant was only worth 300,000 taels."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Yan took the jade slip directly and began to check it out. He found the reason for the value evaluation of this restaurant here.

Among them, there is a passage that says the general idea is: To sum up, the total value of this restaurant is about 800,000 to 900,000 taels.

Seeing this, Xiong Yan nodded. One million taels, one million taels, one million, two million taels, and eight hundred thousand taels are all reasonable rises and falls within a certain range and are acceptable. Thinking of this, I continued to watch.

However, the feng shui of the restaurant here is not good. The owner of the restaurant, Qingshan Road, rebelled, which can be regarded as the family being destroyed... Therefore, the final evaluation was 300,000 taels.

"Tsk tsk, the feng shui is not good, what a powerful reason, I was speechless." Xiong Yan also smiled angry.

This reason is so powerful that it cannot be refuted. The owner of the restaurant, Aoyama Road, has been destroyed, just for this point, who dares to pat his chest and guarantee that the feng shui of this restaurant is very good and very good?

Since the Feng Shui is not good and even the owner is killed, is it at least worth it to be discounted in half?

Soon, in the jade slip, there were countless such value assessments.

Poor Feng Shui has also become one of the three most common reasons for price reduction.

"The Qingshan Road, with a total value of about 250 million yuan, was evaluated as 100 million taels, and it was directly greedy for 150 million yuan! This is the conscience of civil servants, and this is their moral integrity." As he said that, Xiong Yan shook his head directly.

It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. Before, Xiong Yan also read many comments about civil servants not having integrity in the royal secret record, but it was not until now that he saw it with his own eyes that he truly knew how unconscionable these civil servants were.

They all made an open and upright manner, patting their chests to ensure that they did not embezzle even a tael of silver. Procedurally, they did not embezzle.

After confirmation, Xiong Yan recalled what a royal senior once said, which was roughly said: The civil servant class itself has problems.

Perhaps there are a few civil servants who are truly good people, moral good people, legal good people, good people in all senses, and heroes. But more than 90% of civil servants have attributes such as corruption, selfishness, psychological darkness, and arrogance.

The royal predecessors have discovered that there are problems with the civil servants, and the royal family has long discovered it. Unfortunately, the civil servants have the right to speak and the public opinion.

Who dares to say something bad about them? It is them who recorded the history books. Thinking of this, Xiong Yan no longer thinks about this issue in depth.

This question is too profound. With my own experience, I can't think of any good idea for the time being. It's better to learn more, read more, think more, and summarize more. For details, I'll talk about it then.

"Well, let's go to the prison first and find some talents. Usually, there is no such good opportunity!" Xiong Yan changed the topic and said with a smile.

"Indeed, this time, many talents were imprisoned in the prison. They were all implicated. There was actually no rebellion. But at this moment, there were few people who dared to guarantee them." Li Hua agreed.

"If something happens, it will involve the guarantor, which is a major matter involving capital and life."

Friends are also divided into levels. Friends with familiar faces may at most nod and say hello when they meet. Some friends can borrow some money to save friends who are anxious and have a meal. There are also friends who can borrow some money and fight for them. Above them, there are friends who can entrust their lives to each other.
