The total wealth of Castle Peak Road, only so little?
It's too ugly to eat, isn't it?
The properties of Castle Peak Road in the county town alone, all of which are sold out, are worth at least fifty or sixty million taels, which is still very little.Looking at Xiong Yan's puzzled look, Oak Hua sighed: "Hey, it's all the officials below who are too greedy."
Of course, it is also related to the system of the imperial court. ”"The imperial court has always been relatively strict in investigating illegal corruption, illegal enrichment, tax evasion, etc.""
Not only are there rules and regulations, but the officials of the tax department often take out treasures that symbolize the fortune of a province, a state, and a county, and look at them carefully.""
After all kinds of means, the more primitive methods of corruption are gone.For example, now, if you send money directly, no one asks for it.It's not that I don't want it, but I don't dare to ask for it.The application of Taoism to arresting corrupt officials is really too ruthless. ”"The vast majority of corrupt officials are very difficult to deal with when faced with a Taoist law that targets their own hearts and whether they are corrupt or not.Therefore, this leads to a phenomenon that after a certain level, even if it is corrupt, the means are very obscure.Obscure to the point where you can be above board, claiming that you have never been greedy. ”"For example?
What kind of means is called fair corruption, and it is possible to claim that there is no corruption?
”Xiong Yan was really curious this time."
And, no, that's right.Last time I gave a gift to the county order, let him allocate more land, didn't the county order happily take it?
”"The county magistrate last time was already an old man.Moreover, it is just a person, and with his skills, the county order is almost over. ”"In this life, there is basically no hope of ascension.In this way, corruption is also greedy, and at most, promotion is unlikely. ”"And this matter is different, this is a major case of rebellion, and it is a case that the entire Hebei Province, countless officials, and even the central members of the imperial court are paying attention to.This kind of big case, open-minded corruption, will not work. ”In other words, there are more people watching, and it is not good to be greedy directly, so I have to be greedy indirectly."
Well, how did they do that?""
For example, the six-storey restaurant in the west of the city is the property of Castle Peak Road, Your Highness you know, right?"
After recalling it, Xiong Yan nodded, he had been to that restaurant personally, the taste was acceptable, it was very local, and it was a restaurant with quite good business."
Your Highness thinks this restaurant is worth it?""
Well, the whole restaurant has good feng shui, and there is a set of formations around it, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the sixth floor has a special setting, which can be called the four seasons like spring.""
In addition, it is located in a downtown area, with a large flow of people, and business has been very good, this kind of restaurant with good prospects and very profitable needs at least one million taels."
One million taels is the price in Xiong Yanxin.In fact, in the market, if it is sold, it is not impossible to sell 1.2 million taels.However, this restaurant, when the court officials assessed the value, only made 300,000 taels.There are various reasons for lowering the price, but the final result is that this restaurant is only worth 300,000 taels. ”Hearing this, Xiong Yan directly took the jade slip and began to check, and found the reason for the value assessment of this restaurant here.Among them, there is a paragraph to the effect that: To sum up, the total value of this restaurant is about eight or nine hundred thousand taels.Seeing this, Xiong Yan nodded, one million taels, one million two hundred thousand taels, and eight hundred thousand taels are all reasonable ups and downs within a certain range, and they are acceptable.Thinking of this, I continued to read.However, the feng shui of the restaurant here is not good.The owner of the restaurant, Castle Peak Road rebelled, which can be regarded as a ruined family......
Therefore, the final assessment was 300,000 taels."
Tsk, feng shui is not good, such a powerful reason, I am speechless."
Xiong Yan also laughed angrily.This reason is so powerful that it is simply impossible to refute.The owner of the restaurant, Castle Peak Road has been wiped out, just rush to this point, who dares to pat his chest and promise that the feng shui of this restaurant is very good?
Since the feng shui is not good, and even kills the owner, should the value be at least discounted?
Soon, among the jade slips, there were countless such value evaluations.Poor feng shui has also become one of the three most common reasons for price reduction."
Castle Peak Road, which has a total value of about 250 million, was assessed as 100 million taels, and directly greedy for 150 million!
This is the conscience of civil officials, and this is their discipline. ”As he spoke, Xiong Yan shook his head directly.It's better to see than to hear, before, Xiong Yan was also in the royal secret record, and read a lot of comments about the lack of discipline of civil officials, but it was not until this moment, after seeing it with his own eyes, that he really knew how undisciplined this group of civil officials was.One by one, they were upright and upright, patting their chests to ensure that they had not embezzled even one or two pieces of silver.Procedurally, they really did not embezzle.Under the confirmation, Xiong Yan recalled what a senior of the royal family once said, to the effect that the civil official class itself is problematic.There may be a very small number of civil officials who are really good people, good people in morality, good people in law, good people and heroes in all senses.However, more than ninety percent of civil officials have attributes such as corruption, selfishness, psychological darkness, and arrogance.There is a problem with the civil service class, and the predecessors of the royal family have long found out.It's a pity that civil officials have the right to speak and control public opinion.Who would dare to say a bad word about them?
They are the ones who record the history books.Thinking of this, Xiong Yan no longer thought deeply about this problem.This question is too profound, and with my own experience, I can't think of any good way for the time being.It's better to learn more, watch more, think more, and summarize more.Specifically, we will talk about it when the time comes."
Well, let's go to the prison first and find some talent.Usually, there is no such a good opportunity!
”Xiong Yan changed the topic and said with a smile."
Indeed, in this prison, many talents were imprisoned.They were all implicated.If you really want to say that there is a rebellion, in fact, there is none.But at this moment, there are few people who dare to vouch for them. ”Oak agreed."
vouch for them, once something happens, the guarantor will be implicated, which is a big matter involving the life of the family."
Friends, too, are hierarchical.If you have a familiar friend, the most you can do is nod and say hello when you meet.There are friends who can borrow a little money to save an emergency and have a meal.There are also friends who can borrow a large sum of money and take a chance.On top of that, there are friends who can trust each other's lives.It's a pity that there are too few friends who can entrust each other's lives, whether ancient or modern.()
