Government office.
What Jia Yun saw and heard along the way was really shocking.
Everyone in the officialdom is rotten to the core.
Such a terrifying situation cannot be brought down by him alone. Even if he wants to do something, without the help of the army, he may not be able to protect himself!
So, after Jia Yun came to the government office, she ate and drank with everyone. She even pocketed all the goods and beauties presented by everyone, and did not reject anyone who came. She was a model of corrupt officials. .
Now Jia Yun convened everyone in the hall to discuss disaster relief matters.
Jia Yun just said: "I already know the things here. I have been here for many days, and it's time to go back and explain to the emperor. But you also know about this filial piety thing. If there is no money, it will be really difficult. ah!"
After listening to Jia Yun's words, everyone was still planning to prevaricate and make nonsense, but when they saw that Jia Yun understood the righteousness so well that he even collaborated with others, they all laughed and said for a while: "Master Yun, this is very good. We have already had it." It’s about filial piety.”
Jia Yun nodded: "Then you will pay one million taels of silver! If you can afford this price, I can settle the matter. How about we write off your past affairs and never mention them?"
Seeing Jia Yun asking for one million taels of silver as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and their hearts felt as if they were struck by lightning and felt as painful as cutting flesh.
However, they also know that if this matter cannot be settled, all of them will lose their heads.
So, they could only reluctantly say: "Master Yun, is this one million taels too much? We are in a disaster area here. Not to mention this disaster, it is a good year, and one million taels of silver. We can’t take it out either.”
"Really can't take it out? Or do you not want to take it out?" Jia Yun's eyes were slightly cold, and she forced everyone to say: "I have found out everything about your affairs. This place is not a barren land. But in the past few years, you have lied about the disaster every year, and the court has exempted taxes every year. Don’t tell me that all the money has been given to the people instead of being put into your own pockets.”
After saying that, Jia Yun looked at everyone coldly again and snorted coldly, causing everyone to sweat on their foreheads.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to say a word. They could only look at the leader, the prefect, hoping to get the prefect's statement.
Jia Yun naturally noticed this, looked at the magistrate and said, "Master Zhang, you have to think carefully, is it the money that is more important! Or is it the head above your head that is more important!
If you keep your position, you will make a lot of money in the future.
If you can't keep this position, hey, what will happen to you?
I don’t need to say more!
One million taels of silver, not even a cent less.
Also, I would like to warn you, don't plunder the people's fat and the people's anointing, you need to cut the flesh from yourself.
Now the people can no longer survive. If we continue to force them, when the time comes, none of you will survive. "
Jia Yun's words once again made everyone think more about Jia Yun, the imperial envoy.
Before, they were afraid that Jia Yun would not accept money and would not collude with them.
Now they are secretly cursing Jia Yun for being a dog official, a dog official who is even worse than them, and a corrupt official.
However, they did not dare to act against such a character and could only acquiesce.
After Zhang Tan thought about the pros and cons, he looked at Jia Yun and said, "Okay, this matter is settled."
If this matter could be settled with money, they wouldn't care about money.
Although it hurts now, they also know the importance of matters related to the future.
Now the disaster is serious, the people can't eat, they have become poor, and there is no oil and water to squeeze out. They also know that even if they kill these people, they can't get any money. However, just because the people have no money, it doesn't mean that they don't have money. The gentry and landlords had no money.
For a moment, Zhang Tan immediately thought
An ingenious method has been devised.
That is, he plans to go to these wealthy businessmen and ask for money.
If these people don't give it, they will say that this is the intention of the imperial envoy, and it will be inevitable to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
If these people give it, they will definitely feel resentful and report Jia Yun's corruption in the future.
When the time comes, Jia Yun will be able to eat, but will not die well.
For a moment, Zhang said confidently: "Okay! Master Yun, please tolerate us for three days. After three days, one million taels of silver will be given to us."
After that, Zhang Tan took this group of bureaucrats to the back to discuss.
Jia Yun looked at these people indifferently and sneered in her heart: "The people can't even eat, but these people can still collect one million taels of silver in three days. It's really ridiculous."
Later, Jia Yun also planned to return to the capital in advance, report what she saw and heard along the way, and completely resolve the matter.
Before providing disaster relief, these corrupt officials must be weeded out.
If these people are still sitting in their seats, then even if the court distributes ten million taels of silver, they may not be able to feed them.
They were in the middle, gorging themselves on money, and the people below couldn't eat either.
There is no way to talk about disaster relief.
This is what He Shen said, save the people first, save the officials. If the officials can't survive, I'm afraid the people won't be saved either.
Disaster relief ultimately needs to fall on bureaucrats.
Disaster relief is not done by Jia Yun alone, but requires a collective effort.
Therefore, a team that is rotten to the core needs to be uprooted, or at least a large part of it must be killed, in order to handle this matter safely.
Otherwise, even if Jia Yun had the intention, the people below would be willing to ignore her, and it would be difficult for her to achieve anything.
After Jia Yun put forward the condition of one million taels of silver, although everyone was not very happy, they still had no choice but to go home to get the silver and cut their flesh to survive.
Three days later, Jia Yun received one million taels of silver. Looking at such money, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: "This is your death charm!"
The next moment, Jia Yun found Zhang Tan and said, "I need an account of this matter to ensure that you will not betray me. If you report me, you will also die. Now we are both prosperous and loser." . Without this thing, I can’t feel at ease!”
When Zhang Tan saw that Jia Yun had received one million taels of silver, he did not doubt that Jia Yun dared to rebel and let his own family be confiscated and exterminated. He happily handed over the accounts to Jia Yun and then said: " This is the money paid this time, along with the grades, numbers and names of officials from various places, Sir Yun, just keep it."
