Zhu Bai raised his chin: "Go ahead. If you all tell the truth, I will give you a lighter sentence."
The freshwater pearl seller said hurriedly: "The villain originally wanted to sell it as a freshwater pearl, but the agent said that it is in good quality and can help sell it at the price of saltwater pearls. But he wants me to give him half of the price difference as a reward."
The Codonopsis ginseng seller also said: "Actually, the broker saw something wrong with the villain's Codonopsis ginseng, and priced it for the villain according to good quality, and asked the villain to pay him a reward after selling it."
Haha, I never thought that you would dare to play this trick in front of me.
Although I studied as a veterinarian, I have seen all the tricks of medical representatives. What's your little trick?
Zhu Bai nodded: "It's not all your fault, it's also my fault that I didn't train you well. If you show repentance, I won't punish you. If it happens again, I won't give you mercy. I advise you. You guys, it’s better to be a more responsible person.”
The two men went out with shame on their faces and many thanks.
Zhu Bai squinted at the manager and foreman: "What else do you have to say?"
The manager and foreman knelt down together: "Your Highness, we know we were wrong."
Zhu Bai said: "The salary I give you is not low. It's not bad for you."
Both the agents and the foremen here were selected and carefully trained by Zhu Bai.
If one person is missing, he will lose a lot. So the salary he gave was very high.
These people probably dared to take risks because they knew this.
The manager and foreman blushed: "Your Highness is a rare and good customer."
"We were too greedy. We failed His Highness."
Zhu Bai looked at the foreman: "Especially you, you are the master of the broker, why don't you teach him to learn well but lead him into evil ways? What a good seedling, what a pity."
The foreman's lips trembled and he couldn't utter the last word.
He was originally a hawker walking around the streets. When Zhu Bai was recruiting people, he boldly took the exam. Unexpectedly, he was selected to become an agent. Later, official bureaus were established everywhere, and he became the foreman. He had ten agents in his hand, and the money he passed through every day was thousands of taels, which was more than many people would see in a lifetime.
Although he did not hold any official position, he was respected by others. His salary, salary and bonus combined were more than those of a second-rank official in the imperial court, and they continued to increase year by year.
It's really a chicken turning into a phoenix.
Zhu Bai sighed: "I also know that it is not just you, there are many people here who have done this."
Many of the others were so nervous that they secretly clenched their fists.
Zhu Bai saw all this, sneered secretly, and said: "But since I have bumped into you today, I can only use you to set an example. I remember that you have done a lot for the Guan Ya Bureau before, I I will only confiscate your salary and rewards for this month. From today on, you are no longer members of the Guan Ya Bureau. Hand over your dental seal and uniform, and you can leave."
The two people burst into tears and turned around and went out.
Just to be greedy for those few dozen taels, I changed from a phoenix to a loser overnight, and there was no use regretting it.
Everyone was secretly wiping their hands in cold sweat, with lingering fears: Fortunately, the foreman and manager did not bite more people.
Zhu Bai looked at them coldly: "You think you are doing things without being aware of it. But I don't know that not only the king knows it very well, but also the merchants who suffered losses also know it very well. Why didn't they sue? , no trouble? It’s because Guanya Bureau is a separate business, and they have to beg for food in Guanya Bureau. They have no choice but to swallow their anger. Have you ever thought about what would happen if they bought those defective products? Those with conscience, Just consider yourself unlucky and sell it at a discount. If you are unscrupulous, you will pretend you don’t know and then sell it to others. In the end, it’s not the poor people who will suffer? For example, what happens if someone wants to buy Codonopsis pilosula to save their life, but instead buys this one? Then what will happen? Isn’t it just to seek wealth and kill people? You are all small traders or from poor families. How can you bear to do this?"
Everyone was touched in their hearts and lowered their heads and remained silent.
Zhu Bai said: "Yazhang, please post a notice. No matter what level of official Ya bureau the goods are, as long as there is any doubt about the quality and price of the goods, as long as there is evidence, you can report it directly to me. If it is true, I will The king will definitely seek justice for him. If it is a false accusation, I will not let it go. Anyone who dares to stop others from filing a complaint will be kicked out of the officialdom. This will be the case in the future."
Then the people below panicked.
I originally thought I had escaped a disaster, but I didn't expect a big move behind me.
Zhu Bai said calmly: "Everyone should be careful about pricing in the future. If the broker makes a mistake in pricing and the error exceeds 20%, the broker and foreman will be punished together. I have given you more than a year of trial and error time. Moreover, I advise you this time Don't use any method of killing people to silence them or threatening the buyers to silence them. That will only make your crimes more serious. I will put my words here today. Anyone who dares to smash the Guanya Bureau's sign will be smashed by me. Let him have no food for the rest of his life."
This is not a threat, this is a last resort.
Zhu Bai holds the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in his hand. If he intends to punish a person, he can make that person uneasy anywhere in Yingtian.
The people below bowed their heads in response.
Zhu Bai returned to his office without saying a word.
Ya Chang followed Zhu Bai up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The villain is scared, the villain is incompetent."
No matter what the people below did, it was because he didn't take care of it.
Zhu Bai didn't attack him below just now just to save face for him, so as not to damage Ya Chang's authority and make it difficult to manage others in the future.
Zhu Bai looked at the top of his head calmly: "You have slacked off a lot this year."
It must be that Ya Chang turned a blind eye and the people below dared to be so rampant.
Ya Chang's face turned red: "I am ashamed of my trust in His Highness."
Zhu Bai said: "There are actually many people who can sit in this seat."
Ya Chang: "I understand. I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg Your Highness to give me another chance."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Well, in recognition of your loyalty over the years, I will give you one last chance."
Ya Chang thanked me hurriedly and went down to post the notice.
Zhu Bai pursed his lips and looked out the window.
He does not agree with Lao Zhu's method of punishing corruption with severe punishment.
I originally wanted to try to maintain integrity with a high salary in the official dental bureau, but now it turns out that this method will not work.
Because human greed has no end.
When I stood a little higher and gained some power, I felt so carried away that I forgot who I was before.
Moreover, Lao Zhu kills like this, but corrupt officials still emerge in endlessly. This shows that most people are not afraid of death in the face of huge wealth, so there is no need to talk about ethics, integrity, and conscience.
Zhu Zhu and Nannan knew that Zhu Bai felt uncomfortable after punishing someone, but they didn't know how to comfort him.
Zhu Ru hesitated and said, "Should I not speak out? Am I causing trouble for you?"
