Communication between people is actually very interesting.
Saying nice things may not necessarily make you a good friend. The more senior and powerful a person is, the less they care about it.
Saying bad things may not necessarily make someone a bad person. The lower your status, the more accustomed you are to this method of communication.
Whether it's good or bad, it all depends on who says it, and who says it.
Han You's identity is quite complicated. He is the Emperor's personal soldier and His Majesty's eagle dog.
But this "eagle dog" status cannot be domineering.
People who don't have enough status will be afraid and scolded.
People with enough status will look down upon them.
Everyone has a label and a symbol. Even if you have never met, you can still define this person through this label and symbol.
Let’s just talk about the Three Kingdoms period. The third master Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide had three major hobbies in life: drinking, beating people, and scolding Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's three major hobbies are beautiful women, recognizing his father, and stabbing his adoptive father.
Cao Cao's three major hobbies were wives, writing poems, and Guan Yunchang.
Sun Quan, who was defeated more often than others, gave away people's heads, and professionally carried people into the martial arts temple.
The more famous a person is, the more he will be labeled through his past, through what he has done, and what he will do according to his habits.
The same goes for Yidaowei, who framed, framed and misbehaved.
As far as the reputation of Yidawei is concerned, let alone not doing human affairs, they don't even do anthropomorphic things.
This is why Zhou Laoba always wanted to form the emperor's personal army after he ascended the throne, but he did not want to call it "Yidaoying". Unexpectedly, Han You, a stupid young man, directly adopted the name of the government office as Yidaoying in public.
This also caused Han You's reputation and character to reach a record low, which also included the passive bonus of his father Han Bairen.
Everyone in the court didn't know that when people rebelled, they always captured the city, first the city and then the palace, and then forced the emperor to abdicate. Han Bairen went straight to the throne in one step, saying that he came to the capital to be King Qin, but he ran away directly after entering the capital. The king is captured in the palace.
That's all. Han Bairen didn't just want to be the emperor, let alone let others become the emperor. He first entered the capital, then seized the palace, and started killing people after seizing the palace, just like Tu Yi.
To this day, many people still can't figure out Han Bairen's motives back then, and why he directly exterminated many aristocratic families and officials.
In short, Han Bairen is no longer lawless, it can be said that he is lawless.
My father has this kind of virtue, he enters the city and kills people indiscriminately.
His biological son is also the commander of Yi Dao Camp, what kind of good bird can that child be?
Let’s not talk about other court bosses, let’s talk about Sun Shouting.
In front of the emperor, he did not praise or criticize Han You, but just discussed the matter.
Checking taxes, if you do it well, you can make money, which is also good.
But that's just it, it's not the right thing to do to the person.
From the bottom of his heart, Lao Sun didn't like Yidao Guards. If Han You was the leader of Yidao Guards, he wouldn't like Han You.
The reason why I don't like Yidao Wei and Han You is because Yidao Wei doesn't follow the rules.
But Han You is here, and every sentence, every word, and every punctuation mark expresses and emphasizes one thing, and that is "rules." He, Han You, is a man of rules.
The more powerful people are, the more they care about rules. From a certain point of view, these rules are made by them, and the rules they make can also protect them to the greatest extent.
The Yidao Guards are rule breakers. If Han You follows the rules, then there is nothing to be afraid of in the Yidao Camp.
Sun Shouting was very happy, but unfortunately, he was happy too early.
Han You reached into his arms, took out the transcript of the confession of Lian Wenxi, the head of the household department, and presented it to Sun Shouting with both hands.
Sun Shouting took a closer look and saw that his back molars began to itch, which was a sign of getting angry.
After handing the copied confession to Sun Shouting, Han You spoke.
"Lian Xin, the son of Lian Wenxi, the head of the household department, entered the village, gambled, borrowed money, flirted with girls, got drunk, and accidentally injured the king of Zhou. He was treasonous and said that he was the emperor."
After briefly speaking, Han You took out another confession, which recorded the entire incident, from the moment he entered the village to being caught, and even how many whips Lian Xin received, word for word, There are no modifications or spring and autumn brushwork.
"To tell you the truth, originally the students wanted to seize Lian Wenxi's son Lian Xin by other means, and learned from Lian Xin how Lian Wenxi, the head of the household department, embezzled the food and salary of the Mobian army. Who knew that Lian Xin..."
Sun Shouting, who looked at the confession, waved his hand: "Needless to say, I don't know much about Lian Wenxi, but I don't know much about the little master, but his son Lian Xin knows a thing or two. He is indeed a bastard with a bad reputation, and his reputation in the capital is also poor. Second only to Han Mansion’s Evil Young Master Han… well, second only to some of the playboys.”
Han You secretly cursed "Old Man" and sat back on the stool.
After Sun Shouting finished reading, Han You said with a smile: "How do you think, sir?"
"Seven years."
Sun Shouting looked outside the house with a gloomy look: "In just seven years, the amount known to the thief alone is more than 1,764,000. This is horrifying. This thief must be punished."
With a long sigh, Sun Shouting felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Nearly two million coins, how much can this do for the country, how many troops are treated well, how many people have enough food and clothing, Sun Shouting guards the household department, breaks a penny into two halves, and whoever realizes his dream will be right under his own eyes. Under the ground, these beasts are greedy for so much.
In fact, Sun Shouting has known about these things all along, and knows that there are too many involved, especially those related to Beidi. In the previous dynasty, Ma Rulong was at the height of his power. As long as he dared to investigate today, he would be able to do something wrong tomorrow for who knows what reason. Disgraced.
Even in this dynasty, Sun Shouting still hesitated. These things were like a thorn in his heart, which was about to penetrate into his heart. If he didn't pull it out, he would die sooner or later, but if he pulled it out, he might die immediately.
It's just that he didn't know that Tan Mo's amount was so large. He thought it was a thorn, but he didn't expect it to be a sharp sword.
Since it was a sharp arrow, there was no hesitation.
Many people don't understand how it is possible that the Minister of Revenue does not know what is happening under his nose.
In fact, this kind of thing is too normal. There are more than a hundred officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they are not only responsible for the food and salary of the border troops.
To put it simply, in this era of underdeveloped transportation and information, the situation in each state capital is understood through "extracts". At most, the subordinate officials below are asked to go to each state capital to understand the situation.
Sun Shouting was not a man of three heads and six arms, and he did not have clairvoyance and ears. Officials in the various states kept the news secret, and the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who went to the state governments were roped in. The information fed back to him became ambiguous and even completely wrong.
The subordinate officials all came from aristocratic families, and aristocratic families colluded with each other. Even if he was a minister, he would still block his ears and eyes without knowing it.
When the interests involved are deep enough, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will unanimously hide the secret from the only one who is different. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Many aristocratic families and officials actually have the mentality of gamblers, and gamblers have two hearts, the first is greed, and the second is unwillingness.
Greed drives you to keep betting and getting profits, and your greed will become bigger and deeper.
When greed gets out of hand and can even lead to death, the second heart, that is, unwillingness, begins to drive the body.
I can't lose, I don't want to lose, and I don't want to die. If that's the case, then I'll do whatever it takes. I can't win so much, so just give up.
There are too many people like this in the officialdom. They think that the money they "greedy" comes from "hard work". They ask me to give up. Why, I can't give up, so I have to use all possible means. Now that I have reached this point. , then why am I greedy for more?
Han You remained silent.
More than 1.7 million coins is not an accurate figure. In fact, it should be more than this.
In fact, this number does not only refer to money, but also includes a lot.
Let’s just talk about grain and grass. We hired civilians from all walks of life, and a small number of auxiliary soldiers took the peasants to transport the grain and grass to the border.
In this process, there are too many operational details.
One hundred kilograms of grain is pulled by a horse-drawn carriage. People in various states and capitals along the way have to eat the grain. Horses are worn out, and the food eaten by the people does not count. Some migrant workers and auxiliary soldiers must also be given food and wages.
In fact, one hundred kilograms of grain may have been replaced with old grain right after leaving home, and one hundred kilograms of new grain may have turned into seventy kilograms of old grain and ten kilograms of gravel.
As for the civilian husband, he ate another twenty kilograms of old grain, but the book said he had eaten twenty-five kilograms.
In this process, two levels have been removed, one level is short of money, and the other level is empty pay for civilians and auxiliary soldiers.
For one hundred pounds, ten peasants can be hired.
However, on the books, there are one hundred catties and ten men, but in fact the grain has become seventy catties, and the number of men has also become seven, which means that three men are freed up, and another layer has been removed.
After walking for a while, we encountered rain, mountain collapse, or various force majeure factors. Two civilians died, twenty kilograms of grain was lost, and the fourth floor was torn off.
The civilian husband cannot die in vain, he must accompany others with his money, and the various government offices in the north will take another layer.
There are countless tricks like this.
One hundred kilograms of grain and ten civilian men may only have fifty or even forty kilograms of grain left when they reach the border army.
Some government officials and aristocratic families collude with each other, forming an interlocking scheme.
Others "commit crimes alone". When they come to my territory, I don't take much, just one or two or two taels. I only take this little out of dozens of kilograms, so it doesn't matter.
From this point of view, it doesn't matter.
The problem is that there are many people doing this. You take one tael and I take two taels. Dozens or hundreds of people do this. How many will be left in the end?
This is just food and salary, which Lian Wenxi only knows about. Apart from food and salary, there is nothing else that Lian Wenxi doesn't know about. It's scary to think about it.
"My lord."
Han You sighed deeply: "Students don't know how much they can find out, and how deep they can go. I only know that at the end of the investigation, you and Hu Bu..."
Sun Shouting shook his head slightly and smiled.
"You probably don't know. Although Ma Rulong revealed this matter, before him, I had repeatedly advised His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly, extremely shocked: "Aren't you afraid..."
"If you are afraid, I will not serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Check it out. Remember what I said. I can be scolded and even withdraw from the court. No, even if I die, I must see me with my own eyes before I die. The heads of these great thieves who brought disaster to the country are missing, Han You, Commander Han, the son of General Han, don’t let me down!”
Han You stood up again and bowed deeply to the old man in front of him.
Whenever he is disappointed with the court, there will always be someone who suddenly stands up, pats his head lovingly and tells him, don't be afraid, don't be discouraged, and don't be disappointed. At least, there are still us, we are not dead yet, Justice has not disappeared.
