It has to be said that people's IQ is infinite, and there is nothing they can't imagine but cannot do. For example, Liu Wenzheng just made money by confusing right and wrong step by step, while Li Yutang mainly made money through selling his official position and various blatant tricks of his subordinates. However, Zhang Songhe's income is relatively simple in comparison. He can only rely on receiving envoys and some festival celebrations, deducting a little here and reimbursing a little more there. These methods of corruption and bribery are also commonly adopted by powerful people in the feudal dynasty. There is no innovation in the method. On the other hand, Li Zheng Li Baoguo, who is at the bottom of the leadership of the Ming Empire, has many strange ways to make money. Breathing fees, feces and urine disposal fees, I believe that no one in China’s thousands of years of history has ever collected such taxes.
Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg. As a wise man with an IQ of 250, Li Baoguo's ways of amassing money are far more than that. Let's briefly talk about the contents of the notepad handed over by Sun Siniang.
On the eighth day of March, Lao Li's pig suffered from dystocia, with one corpse and three lives. In order to reduce losses, Lao Li made the pig into bacon and kept it for daily consumption. According to Li Baoguo's regulations, you also have to pay a fee. Three corpses, this is already a criminal case. As the owner of the pig, Lao Li neglected to take care of the pig, causing the death of the pig. You did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. According to the rules of the Wuhu Village, Lao Li's behavior The crime is only half as serious as manslaughter. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The fine is three hundred taels of silver.
You thought it was over, but it's still early. The death of a pig is only one of the crimes. Making dead pigs into pickled meat is a crime of insulting the corpse. Pigs are equal to humans, and they are all living creatures. People are like this Unfortunately, it has died miserably and did not live to the end of its life. You still insult it and eat it. Your conscience is priceless. You will be fined another three hundred taels of silver. Thirdly, experts say that meaty creatures are more conducive to the production of feces. Eating bacon in the stomach will invisibly increase the amount of feces, and he will be fined three hundred taels.
Don’t worry, and fourthly, I don’t know which expert told Li Baoguo that the feces excreted by meat-eaters and vegetarians pollute the air differently. It contains not only carbon dioxide but also sulfur monoxide. The fine is three hundred taels.
After all, Lao Li had to pay a fine of more than one thousand taels for one corpse and three lives. It is said that after Lao Li heard these fines, his family was ready to hang himself overnight. Fortunately, Li Baoguo found out early, otherwise Li Baoguo would have suffered great losses. , after learning that Lao Li was unable to afford the fine, Li Baoguo's fine policy also had after-sales, so Lao Li's family was bought by Li Baoguo for three thousand taels of Japanese pirates.
These are just fine items, there are also some tax items. In short, even if Evergrande uses Li Baoguo's method of making money for three years, Evergrande will definitely pay off its debts and become an industry giant again. It can afford the annual salary of more than 100 million yuan for senior officials.
I always felt that I was quite shameless, selling high-priced meals in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. But after seeing Li Baoguo's misdeeds, compared with them, Liu Wenzheng felt that his conscience was much better.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it." Holding the notepad in his hand, Liu Wenzheng's hands kept trembling. "You are a little upright person who doesn't know how to repay the king's kindness and benefit the people. You even embezzled the poverty alleviation funds provided by the emperor to support the people. You are so courageous. Don't you follow the official law like a furnace? This is a capital crime."
When the matter came to light, Li Baoguo also realized the seriousness of what he had done. However, after all, he had been an upright person for most of his life. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a cunning man. Soon Li Baoguo thought of a way, "Sir, the common people will know their crimes." , the common people are willing to be punished.”
Liu Wenzheng was very pleased to see Li Baoguo confessing to such a bachelor. The criminals deeply realized their mistakes in their honest words and bowed their heads to plead guilty. This became another good story. The few words of the Minister of Punishment made the die-hards accept the crime with sincerity. . The light of the righteous path shines on the earth, illuminating every dark place.
"Li Baoguo, do you know that the amount of money you embezzled is huge? According to the laws of the Ming Empire, you will be beheaded."
"The common people know." Li Baoguo accepted it calmly. After all, he had embarked on the road of corruption and bending the law. Li Baoguo had naturally conducted investigations. Unlike going to the police station to check whether he was a second-rate criminal wanted on the Internet, Li Baoguo had also read the laws of the Ming Empire. People.
Different from the tyrant Zhu Yuanzhang who had to rip off the skin and turn it into grass if he embezzled sixty taels, the laws of the Ming Empire were still very kind to corrupt officials. In the Ming Empire, those who embezzled sixty taels would just laugh it off. If you go back, you will be more corrupt. Come on, corruption of less than 1,000 taels is usually based on criticism and education. It is wrong for you to be corrupt. It is disloyal to His Majesty and unfilial to the people. You must not do it again in the future. You know, well, everyone knows it.
The amount of corruption punishable by the laws of the Ming Empire must exceed one thousand taels, and depending on the amount of corruption, the duration of criminal detention is also different, ranging from three days and five days, three years and five years, to thirty years and fifty years. Of course, if If you can afford the price, you can apply for a reduced sentence. If your price makes the judge forget who your parents are, you won't have to serve a day in jail.
And if you want to risk beheading, then you must embezzle more than 100,000 taels of silver. Whether you behead or beheaded is also related to the amount of your embezzlement. It's all death anyway.
Over the years, the amount of Li Baoguo's corruption has long reached the penalty of death at Ling Shi. But, well, like Li Baoguo, Sun Siniang is also a court employee with a low level of education, so she can't write many words, so she just He didn't remember it, so the amount of corruption on the books was enough for Li Baoguo to be sentenced to death, but at most it would be beheading.
"Did I misjudge my uncle? He is the kind of tough guy who is not afraid of life and death. He does things for everyone and has a big scar on his head." Li Jinzhong said that he had misjudged his uncle. He was not a coward, but a hero.
Including Wang Busheng, his impression of Li Baoguo has also changed somewhat. Although he did something wrong, he did not deny that knowing his mistakes can greatly improve things. He is also a good comrade of the Ming Empire.
The wind can take away a piece of paper and a piece of grass, but it cannot blow away you and me, because life has power and dares to go against the wind. Smooth sailing is not the norm, rain or shine is the state of mind, and going through wind and rain is the state.
There can be no life without twists and turns. A safe journey is just a luxury. If people want to become successful, they must have the courage to kick away stumbling blocks and the mind to change the status quo.
Li Lizheng is the inheritance position of the Li family. Every generation of Li Lizheng is not kind. Why can they make money desperately while living peacefully until the end of their lives? It is because they do not panic and deal with things calmly.
Cutting off his own head, Li Baoguo had a sneer on his face, just because he was afraid that your knife would be bad.
There are only two reasons why people are not afraid of life and death. One is that they have already seen through it and have no worries in life. The wind is strong and takes away the lovesick people. There is no difference between the world and hell. The other is to have nothing to fear. Don’t chase the wind and the moon. If you stay, you will find spring mountains everywhere. I have a background, who dares to chop off my head.
Judging from Li Baoguo's face, you can tell that you are no longer at the age where you are in love, and you can't help but look at everyone who looks like you. Liu Wenzheng boldly guessed that Li Baoguo was more likely to be the second type.
"Li Baoguo, do you have any relatives in your family who are officials in the court?" Liu Wenzheng asked carefully. I heard that Li Yutang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had many relatives in the countryside. Could it be that?
I don't know why Liu Wenzheng asked this, but Li Baoguo didn't hide it, with a little pride on his face, just like a parent with a sense of superiority bragging to fellow villagers that their child had been admitted to the Lanxiang Higher Chef Training School.
"My brother-in-law serves as the criminal register in Songjiang Prefecture Prison."
"Pfft!" Liu Wenzheng almost knelt down. A low-ranking official of the ninth rank should be so proud. Without a hundred thousand taels, he would not even be qualified to have his own name heard in his ears.
"Damn it, you're a pig teammate even if you're old." Li Jinzhong wanted to eat at Li Baoguo's banquet right away. It was a bit ugly to wear linen and mourning, but he was very willing to do so. If you mention your father at this time, you are not afraid of dragging your family into trouble.
"Sir, my father works very hard as the prison register of Songjiang Prefecture, but he has never been involved in corruption or bending the law. He is very innocent. I am not afraid of your ridicule, sir. My father's underwear is still from eight years ago." Li Jinzhong defended his father, It's not easy for someone from the Lao Li family to be an official. He is still thinking about taking over, so his father can't make any mistakes.
"Well, there was Xie Xiangrong before him and Li Xingzuo after him. The officials of the Ming Empire were all very honest and dedicated to their duties." Countless people are complaining in their hearts. "You can be more shameless. Anyway, we will believe whatever you say."
At the critical moment, Liu Wenzheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Li's pretentious work attitude. The flood could not wash away his own people. "Except for the criminal director, is there anyone in the old Li family who is an official in the government?"
You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Li Baoguo also wanted to be Li Yutang's godson, or at least Li Jinchen's godbrother, but he was not so lucky.
"Reporting to your lord, no one in my family is an official in the court. If my son doesn't die, I think he will definitely do it in the future."
"Okay, you don't need to say anymore." Don't worry, he is not his accomplice. Liu Wenzheng waved his hand, interrupting Li Baoguo's affirmation of his son, "Since you have confessed, in order to set an example, never forget the past and the future." Master, I have pronounced the verdict in court that Li Baoguo was corrupt, perverted the law, falsely collected taxes, and embezzled His Majesty’s poverty alleviation funds. He will be punished for several crimes and will be beheaded at Caishikou tomorrow at noon.”
A lottery was drawn out, and Liu Wenzheng was about to throw it out when he heard Li Baoguo raise his right hand and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, the common people are guilty, the common people know the crime, the common people plead guilty, but the common people have something to say."
It was the first time he encountered such an easy case. The prisoner was very cooperative. If he didn't have a full meal before he died, Liu Wenzheng would also give him a chance for the sake of earning fame for himself. Pay or not. The money is the same, after all, this is the last power of a dying man.
"Okay, I see that you are repentant. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Li Baoguo was full of confidence, and then he began to remove the restraints on his body one by one, until finally only a pair of big pants remained.
Seeing such a scene, many women closed their eyes. Of course, Sun Siniang didn't. There was no need.
In such a cold day, why did Li Baoguo behave like this? Didn't he want to behead his head, but chose the most honorable way to die - freezing to death?
Amid everyone's confusion, Li Baoguo stretched out his hands, unzipped his pants, and then took out piles of things. The smile on Li Baoguo's face became even brighter.
Not every time you travel through wind and rain, the sky will be filled with colorful clouds, and not every time you go over the mountains and ridges, spring will be warm and flowers will be blooming. But there is something that can fill the sky with rainbows, melt the cold winter, and make spring warm and flowers bloom. Who knows the charm of silver.
Holding the paper in his hands with both hands, Li Baoguo's face was full of joy, "I understand the rules of the Ministry of Punishment. This is one hundred thousand taels, buy my life."
Naturally, the most precious things must be carried close to the body, such as chastity. What he committed was a serious crime of beheading. Li Baoguo had anticipated today's scene, so Li Baoguo always wore the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes on his body for the purpose of saving his life.
Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, and some things, it doesn't matter how you do it behind the scenes, but you can't put it on the surface, such as the price of one hundred thousand taels in the Penal Department Yamen.
Is it true that as bold as a person is, the land will be more productive? Liu Wenzheng was completely impressed by Li Baoguo. Even if you are ugly, why are you still so stupid?
"Oh" Hao Liande looked curious, "Mr. Liu, the Ministry of Punishment has such regulations"!
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense. This is slander, it's just slander. Our Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment has always handled matters impartially and never resorted to public benefit for personal gain. How could there be such a ridiculous rule?" Liu Wenzheng retorted angrily, pointing at Li Baoguo and his eyes widened: "Li Baoguo, The evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law is conclusive. I judge the case in accordance with the law, but you actually hold a grudge and slander me. If you don't kill you, the people will not be angry. If you don't kill you, I don't know how many upright and selfless people like me will be framed by you in the future. After being slandered by you, I don’t think there’s any need to wait for tomorrow, someone will come and pull him down and chop him down.”
"Ah, no, no, sir, no, I'll add more money, I'll add more money."
"I'll add you, sir!" Liu Wenzheng swore and accepted your money in front of Hao Liande. I will meet the King of Hell tomorrow.
In the same place, the difference is that Wu Niaopeng was beaten to death, while Li Baoguo was hacked to death.
This is the taste of spring mud, this is the taste of summer flowers, this is the taste of autumn fruits, this is the taste of winter snow, blood, this is the taste of life, life comes around again, I just hope to be a good person in the next life.
