At the same time, as a reward for these gentlemen, it was decided that for every 1,000 taels of silver donated, the emperor would give honor to 100 households, donate 5,000 taels, and reward 1,000 households, and the emperor himself wrote it, as an eternal glory, which can be treasured.
At the same time, however, it was stipulated that the quota was limited, and that the plight of the officials in Beijing would be taken into account, and it was decided that it would be applied only to the officials in Beijing and not to the outside world, and that it was clearly stipulated that the collection of 500,000 silver would end this kind of reward.
So the grace decreed, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, but more than that, it was joyful.
Although everyone has been an official, but at that time the scientific examination system was so harsh that it was hard to find, that identity was hard to find, although now it is an honor for hundreds of households, but as long as there is this identity, those children who are hopeless in the imperial examination can also be famous in the local area, and at the same time, with this body, that is the official, as long as it is operated well, maybe you can let your nephew enter the officialdom, what a good win-win road.
So, in the ministers thanksgiving Dai Deli, the original door can be full of fundraisers, at this time it is already crowded, as lively as the downtown area, boxes of silver are lifted here like flowing water, the number is blowing out every day, even if Donglin obviously knows that this is a disguised help to Lu Hanqiang, but no matter how hard the three bigwigs persuade and how they know the benefits, they can't stop the enthusiasm of those subordinate party members who are eager to love the country and the people, and in the end, even Qian Qianyi quietly donated five thousand taels, gave his fifth son who was not angry, a thousand households.
Looking at the accounts in front of him, Chongzhen was sincerely happy, "Lu Ban's method of reading is good, I just sent out thirty honors to a thousand households, a number of honors to a hundred households, not only did not give them half a bit of silver, but on the contrary, I gained a huge amount of gratitude, and in just seven days, I completed the fundraising of 500,000 silver, such a thing is cost-effective." ” Wang Chengen is now smiling without seeing his teeth, and his small shoulders are shrugged like a perpetual motion machine.
"Yes, the emperor, this time the emperor is afraid that the local officials will disturb the people, so this kind of reward is only for the hundred officials in the capital, and as a result, countless local officials have been folded, complaining that the emperor has blocked their heart of serving the country and compassion for the victims of the world, so they strongly demand that they should donate money to save the people.
Hahaha.
Speaking of which, thinking of the content of the excerpts on those local governors, Wang Chengen was quite happy.
"If this is the case, then every time we encounter trouble in the future, we will come to that once, won't everything be solved" This is Chongzhen's words.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hanqiang, who was scared at the time, did not lie down.
He knew that in later generations, Chongzhen didn't do this, but the braid emperor did, and there was a very strange phenomenon in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, that is, no matter what social class you are, except for criminals and banner people's clothed domestic slaves.
Regardless of whether you have gained fame or not, as long as you have money to open the way, you can get an official and a half-job, which is the official donation system.
The system of donating officials, that is, the open system of selling officials.
It only values the amount of silver, regardless of the amount of knowledge, and even some official positions clearly mark the price, and the grade is completely determined by the silver.
And this opened up a fast track for those rich businessmen who were originally at the bottom of the feudal social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, so that they had the possibility of becoming "scholars".
There is such a "good" system that can quickly improve one's social status and is a lucrative business, and the shrewd businessman cannot miss it.
Of course, those wealthy people donate to governors, political envoys and other big officials, but some small businessmen can't take out so much silver at once, so they can only donate a small official such as a county magistrate as the beginning of their career, and then donate to the big official when they have enough money.
What's more, three or five people pool money to donate to officials, and they generally take whoever gives more money to be an official, and the others are either masters or long-term followers, and wait until they get the silver in office, and everyone will share it, similar to today's stock dividends.
What's even more ridiculous is that there are still people who use the method of drawing lots to decide, to see who is lucky enough to catch and go to office, which is similar to winning the lottery now.
Someone wrote a poem sarcastically: "It's really hard to drop the gun, and the group of heroes is so deep."
The donor won the righteousness of the people, and the profits were divided equally among the 100,000 gold. ” What is even more absurd is that the Qing government actually encouraged such a system, and the officials who donated it in this way all made a lot of money after taking office.
Ouyang Yu, a Qing scholar, said that after the donor arrived, "if he entrusts a flock of sheep to the mouth of a hungry tiger, even if there is a strong bow and poisonous arrows behind him, he will devour it and care nothing."
In order to get back the large amount of money spent when donating officials, they arbitrarily increased food and wages.
However, the rulers did not care about the life or death of the common people at all, and only used the money obtained from the official donation system to pursue their arrogant and lascivious life.
There are also big businessmen who have a lot of money, and they actually donate officials to the children who are not dried in swaddling clothes, and they are delusional to be officials for generations, which is really ridiculous and generous.
The officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was stirred up by this system, and those who did not learn and did not know how to do it were popular, and those who were indiscriminate and full of money abounded.
Such a deformed system will inevitably produce a deformed officialdom, which will make those who speak with silver too addicted.
And buried a large number of scholars with real talents, who have wasted ten years of hard work, which is probably the greatest sorrow of those scholars.
As a result, the Tartar court later walked all over the road, and the county was not as good as a dog, so he casually mentioned a street side to ask for food, and maybe people would give you a confession to make up for the road.
In the end, these people went bankrupt and bribed the company in order to become officials, and after they got the real vacancy, they began to make a big profit by unscrupulous means, and there was a saying that the Qing Governor had three years and 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and the above could only be open and closed, because according to the principle of fair trading, if you collect my capital, I will pursue the profit, which is justified, so as to accelerate the collapse of the dynasty.
Lu Hanqiang didn't want this Ming to be corrupted quickly and shorten his lifespan, because his escape plan was not yet perfect.
Stop, you must stop the bad consequences of this demon that you have made, so Lu Hanqiang stood up again and said solemnly to Chongzhen: "Long live, such a thing is overdrawing the credibility of the empire, in fact, it is overdrawing your credibility, a little thing is so rotten, then if you encounter the critical time when the country is ruined, then this writing will be worthless, and you will no longer be able to raise the silver you want."
Therefore, this thing cannot be done until ten or twenty years later. ” The sneering Chongzhen also knew this truth, so he changed the topic.
"Lu Aiqing, this time the silver for Shanshan is enough, you see when you will leave" Lu Hanqiang pinched his fingers and calculated, "Long live, the minister thinks that now is not the time to set off for relief, because there are still thousands of things to be done by the minister in person, and only after the business bank is completely incorporated into the formalization, the minister can travel with confidence, or I will leave here, and if there is any chaos in the business bank, maybe it will collapse, then we will lose more than we gain." ” "That's right."
Chongzhen, who was anxious, had to think that Lu Hanqiang was right at this time, the firm had just opened, and he was in a hurry to let this knowledgeable person go, and if he couldn't say that the firm would have to repeat, not only sorry for the shareholders invested by the firm, but also sorry for himself, and he might have delayed the big event.
"In this case, Lu Aiqing can do a good job in the business with peace of mind, and then you can go on the road with peace of mind."
What is this called, why does it sound so awkward But no matter how awkward the emperor's words sound, you have to listen to them well, so Lu Hanqiang repeatedly called the emperor a saint.
"It's not early, Lu Aiqing go down and rest, I still have a lot of notes to review."
As he spoke, he sat down, picked up a recital and opened it to watch, but for a while, his originally happy expressions were entangled again.
Lu Hanqiang didn't want Chongzhen to ask about it anymore, so he hurriedly and quietly gave Chongzhen a salute and then withdrew.
As soon as Lu Hanqiang left, Chongzhen lamented and put the fold on the bookcase, pointing to the fold and complaining to Wang Chengen: "Inspector Yuan has asked for silver again, and he wants to move from the twenty fortresses outside the border, and he said that he will temporarily open and advance slowly to Jiannu, and in less than a year, he has to pay more than 5 million silver, which has not moved a step to the north, and has 300,000 Guanning iron horses, but he has not launched an attack on Jiannu, and he has not taken any action in the past five years."
Wang Chengen stood up and bowed and saluted: "The old slave also saw this excerpt, and at the same time, he also saw the excerpt of Mao Wenlong and Mao Shuai of Liaodong Phi Island, as well as the excerpt of General Zhangpan in southern Liaoning, who asked for the transfer of military salary, all of which were urgent. ” Chongzhen rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Mao Wenlong collected hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and from time to time launched attacks on Jiannu, and restrained Jiannu from coming west, Zhang Pan is even more with only 200 people, and it has developed to the present, becoming a barrier in North Korea, even the king of North Korea has to write to ask for credit for Zhang Pan, and the salary they want every year is only a total of 500,000 yuan, and they are also deducted by the political envoy of Shandong, and the amount of money they get is more than 200,000 points, and their salary of 200,000 silver is worth the effect of Yuan Inspector's army of almost 5 million a year, you say, why is this." ” Why do I dare to say it, you should ponder it slowly.
So Wang Chengen lowered his eyebrows and stopped talking.
"He, Yuan Chonghuan, is not guilty of his five-year recovery, and I have no way to supply him, so he can talk to me about this."

Chongzhen gently banged the table with his fist, his face full of helplessness.
I thought for a long time: "As long as he can return to Liao in five years, no matter what it is, I will satisfy him, as long as he can return to Liao in five years, I will treat him in whatever he does."
Then he muttered in a gloomy voice, "If he can't finish it, then I won't kill him alive." ” These gloomy words came from the mouth of a little boy, which made Wang Chengen tremble.
"Appropriation, allocate 400,000 yuan to Yuan Chonghuan."
Then think about it, "Give another 70,000 yuan to Mao Wenlong and 30,000 yuan to Zhang Pan." ” Wang Chengen was shocked at the time: "Long live, we, we don't have so much silver." ” Chongzhen smiled: "Didn't you just receive 500,000 yuan in relief silver, so let's embezzle it." ” Wang Chengen was even more surprised, he was really bitter for Lu Hanqiang, a difficult brother.
I also want to say something for Lu Hanqiang, "But Lu Banyu also needs silver there." ” Chongzhen said indifferently: "First outside and then inside."
Then he smiled casually: "I think Lu Aiqing has 100,000 silver inside, and with his means, he can complete this simple relief task." ” Lu Hanqiang, who was walking on the way home, sneezed violently again and again. t1706231537:
