As soon as the officials of the Ministry of Rites walked to the door of the house, they heard a commotion inside. Many people were shouting loudly inside. It seemed that someone had already taken action first.
Several officials lifted up the front of their clothes and hurriedly ran up the steps to squeeze into the crowd, only to find that the semi-disabled men in Sijiu City had already begun to cause trouble before them.
"What are you talking about? Say it again if you dare. My ancestors entered the country from the dragon, and the emperor rewarded them with hard-core crops. If you dare to fool me with pieces of paper, I will tear them into pieces..."
"Look, everyone, this is how the imperial court treats those who have made meritorious deeds. I, a man under the banner of Xianghuang, have worked hard for the imperial court for eight generations. Even I was wounded on the battlefield..." he started. The idle man raised his hands, and the wounds on his two thumbs that were chopped off were shocking.
"Sir, my hands are crippled. Who are they for? It's not our imperial court...Sir, I was injured during a battle with Xiao Letian. Unexpectedly, I saved my life on the battlefield. I turned back and returned Sijiucheng still needs to be angry, and even Xiao Letian is angry..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, ancestor, please open your eyes and take a look. The imperial court is so shameless. It knows that Xiao Letian has no good intentions, but it still licks its face and posts it online..."
"I'm just going to ask you, these dirty officials from the Ministry of Revenue, how much benefit did you get from Xiao Letian? How could you do such an immoral thing and have nothing to do with having a son? You sold the debt from the Ministry of Revenue to Xiao Letian and paid it in exchange for nothing. If you exchange Xiao Letian's waste paper and pay the imperial court a salary later, I'm confused. If you don't want to give money, just say so."
This sentence resonated with the people around. Everyone did not listen to the explanation of the Ministry of Revenue official and started talking, "That's right. If I had known that the court was going to issue an IOU, why not just print it myself? In fact, there is no need to print it. Once it is stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of Revenue, it says It’s enough to get an IOU, so why bother taking off your pants and farting so that Xiao Letian can give up in the middle of it.”
"If there is no ghost here, I will gouge out my eyeballs. Maybe Xiao Letian got a lot of money from him. Let me tell you clearly, the court just doesn't want to give us money..."
Several newly arrived officials from the Ministry of Rites asked in confusion, "Isn't the Eight Banners' pay paid by the Imperial Household Office? Why did they come to the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect the money today?"
"You don't know this..." Several officials from the Ministry of War next to him sneered. "In fact, when the Ministry of Households was established in the country, a flag pay office was already established in it. At that time, the flag pay office of the Eight Banners was also set up. It’s not possible to transfer the accounts from the accounts department…”
"At that time, the bannermen's properties were all over the country, and they were the most profitable businesses. Who would want to get involved with the Ministry of Household Affairs, so for the past two hundred years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Clan Government have been responsible for distributing money..."
"But today is different. When the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard that they were going to issue bonds to the ancestors of the Eight Banners to use as flag pay, they were all frightened and refused to accept the job at all. The Ministry of Household Affairs wanted to give it to the Internal Affairs Bureau The government deported the bond, but they actually closed the door and refused to accept it.”
"Furthermore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced to the outside world early in the morning that the banner men were asked to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect money... and that's when such a thing happened."
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and sighed, "It's shameful, it's really shameful. If the court doesn't have money, don't give it away. We'll tide over the difficulties together with the court, but what's the point of using scraps of paper to deceive people."
The words of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were echoed by the semi-disabled men of the Eight Banners: "You are right. The Ministry of Rites is indeed a person who understands etiquette. If the court has no money, it should not be distributed. We can afford to wait. At worst, we will go to the northwest... But with tattered paper It’s wrong to deceive people, I don’t want the money anymore, tear it up, tear it up.”
While he was talking, the half-crippled old man held the beautifully printed bond between his fingers and tore it into pieces. Why did he say clip, because he didn't have the help of his thumb, so he could only use his other fingers to pinch and tear it.
The heads of the household department and the handymen who distributed the money had blue veins popping on their foreheads, "Jiuye, please think about it. You just signed to receive the money. This means that the imperial court has already given you a salary. You tore it up." But my own silver is twenty dragon-patterned silver coins."
"Bah... I have money, I don't care about it. I would rather tear it into pieces than fall into your trap... Are you right?"
"Yes." The crowd cheered "Tear it up, tear it up, tear it all up..." After saying that, someone went up to grab it.
This time the Ministry of Accounts is no longer in charge. They can't control you if you tear up your bonds, but if you tear away the money from the Ministry of Accounts, that would be a crime.
"Come here, protect the money box. No one is allowed to rob it. Don't you want to tear it apart? Sign your name and take away your share. You can tear it up as much as you like..."
"Sign as long as you sign, no one is afraid of you..." The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment... and a group of fanatical Eight Banners men gathered around to collect their own money. They wanted to tear up this scam at the Household Department of the Qing Dynasty.
The half-disabled old man who caused the trouble shouted arrogantly outside the yamen: "Don't wait any longer. Don't even think about getting money. This Qing Dynasty medicine pill, the Ministry of Revenue actually gave it a piece of paper to fool people with IOUs." Ah, you can’t collect your debt, and there’s no way you can do business today…”
"Hahaha... you are all a bunch of paupers. There is no wine to drink today, and there is no show to watch. Chunlan Qiuju in Bada Hutong, I can't pity you today..."
The people standing at the door were all the clerks and second shopkeepers of the famous businessmen in the capital. When they heard this, they were so frightened that their foreheads were sweating. I wanted to shout out, but I looked back at a few people in white satin robes sitting in a tea shed at the corner of the street. The men were too frightened to speak.
The man in the lead, perhaps because he hadn't had breakfast, was holding a bowl of oil tea and drinking it carefully, as if he hadn't seen the farce in the household department.
Strangely enough, he didn't say anything, and all the traders on the street didn't dare to say a word. They just let the little boy continue to shout about his business and fight for the business that was no longer possible.
The man who drank the oil tea was named Ding. He was the second shopkeeper of Lotte Bank who was escorting four million silver taels into Beijing. It was also he who verbally quarreled with the prince and the minister when the silver taels were being put into the treasury, rendering them speechless. .
Today he came to watch a show and watch a good show. "Haha, I don't have the kindness to be a Bodhisattva. Aren't they willing to tear them apart? Just go ahead and tear them apart. There will always be times when they cry..."
At this time, there was more noise in the Hubu Yamen. People were going crazy, saying "Tear them all to pieces. We would rather die poor than be fooled by this. Tear... "
