"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang. Here are three 100 silver coins from the Qiming Chamber of Commerce. Please accept it."
Just entered the cabin. The ten supervising officials invited the generals to escort the supplies.
There were no accidents, and the ten people happily accepted the banknotes. At the same time, I promised not to reveal this matter.
After all, these officials who were used by Zhu Youjian were not good birds.
In recent years, the court has become more and more strict with investigations, and it is much more difficult to use power for personal gain than before.
In addition, the imperial court had abolished the circulation of silver.
This turned their previous gains into a bunch of life-threatening stuff.
The imperial court's salary is now paid out on time, and the salary is twice as much as before, but how many officials live on their own salary?
In 3 years, he became the prefect and received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
After you have the power, don’t make money too easily.
In addition, there were no officials before, so these officials had an easy life.
After His Majesty's currency reform, I no longer have the confidence to eat and throw away a bowl.
In addition, in recent years, the court's penalties for official corruption have become more and more serious. This has resulted in that even if the court has doubled their salaries, most officials' lives are much harder than before.
Now having such an anonymous banknote in front of you is equivalent to throwing a piece of delicious barbecue in front of a person who has been hungry for five days.
There may be a very few people who can resist the temptation of barbecue, but these people do not include these officials.
If they had that determination, they would not become corrupt officials.
"Notice, the fish has been hooked." said the general escorting the supplies.
"A bunch of idiots, you have wasted so many years of reading sage books. It doesn't matter if you don't have morals, you can't even read the brain. The army is the sharp sword in His Majesty's hand, and it is also the fundamental reason why His Majesty can overwhelm you literati.
Your Majesty is not a fool, how could he give up supervision of the army.
If you even dare to accept this money, I will see how you die then. "
The general escorting the supplies said.
Nowadays, except for the biochemical generals of the system, those who can be generals, no matter how much Zhu Youjian trusts other generals, at least 80% of their personal guards are directly dispatched by Zhu Youjian.
Although everyone knows in their hearts that this is His Majesty's way of controlling the army.
But no one was dissatisfied.
In addition to giving enough face to the personal guards when rewarding them, Zhu Youjian also gave them enough face. More importantly, the ancients were relatively simple. Zhu Youjian explained to them that these personal guards, in addition to protecting their safety on the battlefield, What's more important is to protect them from being stabbed by their own people.
Since ancient times, the number of generals who have died at the hands of their own people has been no less than those who have died on the battlefield.
Especially when the country's national strength is weakened and the Han Dynasty is at a critical stage, it has almost become a historical necessity to kill those who can fight on its side and strive to become a slave to the country's subjugation as soon as possible.
The reason for this is that Chengran has something to do with the emperor.
But it wasn't entirely the emperor's fault.
Can an emperor who cannot see the actual situation of the country and who is surrounded by corrupt officials be able to distinguish who is loyal and who is traitorous?
No, it's impossible to tell!
The emperor is also a human being without any superpowers. In a sea of lies, find the boat of truth. The probability is not necessarily higher than the probability of winning the lottery in future generations.
And at that time, it was not certain whether the emperor had real power.
