Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1501 QL and Wealth!
Yijing, the Imperial Palace

After running three laps in the Imperial Garden, Ye Mingsheng came to Pei Zhixiu's courtyard. Pei Zhixiu, her two children, Ye Jingxuan and Ye Yiren were all very happy about Ye Mingsheng's arrival.

After the family had a warm dinner together, Ye Mingsheng also showed concern for Jingxuan's studies and asked:
"Jingxuan! What has Mr. Deng asked you to learn recently?"

"Your Majesty, my teacher recently told me the story of the governor of Yiqian and the governor of Xuanyu?"

"What do you mean, Governor Yiqian and Governor Xuanyu?" Ye Mingsheng asked with some confusion:
Jingxuan heard this and preached without thinking:

"The one-coin governor refers to Liu Chong, a wise minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was very honest and simple. When he was governor of Kuaiji, people lived in great difficulty and were oppressed by heavy taxes. Many people could not even eat. After Liu Chong took office, he abolished these heavy taxes and prohibited corvée from disturbing the people. In this way, the people of Kuaiji were able to live and work in peace. Liu Chong himself was appreciated by the emperor and promoted!"

"When Liu Chong was leaving Kuaiji, many people came to see him off. Among them, many respected elders in Kuaiji gave him hundreds of coins as travel expenses to repay his kindness to the people of Kuaiji!"

"Liu Chong was deeply moved by this, but he refused to accept it. Finally, he could not refuse the kindness and reluctantly accepted one penny as a souvenir. He was later called the One-Penny Governor!"

“The Prefect of Hanging Fish is also an allusion from the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Yang Xu was the Prefect of Nanyang, he was highly respected by the people of Nanyang because he was an honest and upright official. One time, the county magistrate under his command wanted to present a big carp to Yang Xu in order to please him…”

"But Yang Xu did not accept the big carp. Instead, he hung the big carp in the Nanyang government office and let it dry as a warning. Seeing this, the county magistrate felt very ashamed and never dared to have such a petty thought again!"

After telling these two stories, Jingxuan continued:
"The teacher told me these two stories because he hoped that I would learn from Liu Chong and Yang Xu, not accept HL, be an honest person, serve as an official, and benefit the people. As long as I can gain the love of the people, it is better than any gold, silver or jewelry!"

Ye Mingsheng seemed to have noticed something, and immediately asked Jingxuan:

"Did Deng He teach you these words?"

Jingxuan nodded seriously and said:

"Yes!"

Hearing his son's affirmative answer, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said nothing more. At this time, Pei Zhixiu on the side seemed to realize something and frowned.

Just when Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu were speechless, Jingxuan spoke up:
"Teacher said that the court should pay attention to morality when selecting and promoting G-level officials. Only people with high moral character can be selfless and bring benefits to the people!"

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but laugh. Seeing this, Jingxuan asked curiously:
"Father, do you think what the teacher said is wrong?"

Facing his son's puzzled look, Ye Mingsheng touched his son's head and said with a smile:
"What Mr. Deng said is of course correct. Morality is a very important indicator for promoting and appointing G members, but this statement has certain limitations..."

"Limitations? What does Father mean by this?"

"Jingxuan, you have to remember! People are never static. Just because he is a good person now, he will be a good person all his life. Just because he is a bad person now, he will be a bad person all his life!" "With the changes of time and environment, good people can become bad people, and bad people can become good people!"

And what is a G field? A G field is a FK! Even the most innocent person will inevitably be tainted with S after entering this place! "

“Although TF has a certain relationship with the moral standards of G members themselves, it does not mean that the reason why G members are FB cannot be attributed entirely to their moral problems.”

"I have met many people with lofty ambitions, talents and aspirations. They want to change the world. They want to put their ideals into practice and make the world a better place!"

"But in the end, many people became involved with the things they once disdained and despised, and became one with them!"

After hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Jingxuan seemed to be shocked and did not speak for a long time. However, after thinking about it, he asked Ye Mingsheng again.

"Father, what do you think is the fundamental factor of FB?"

Ye Mingsheng did not answer this question immediately. After thinking about it, he slowly said:

“I think it’s a question of whether your QL and wealth match!”

“For example, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the salary, grain, cloth and other things that an ordinary county magistrate receives in a year are all worth between thirty and fifty taels of silver. This is a reasonable and legal income on the surface, and no one can find fault with it…”

"Jingxuan, what do you think of this salary?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Jingxuan thought for a moment and said:
"My teacher told me that a worker in Yijing can get about five or six taels of silver a year. And this is in Yijing. If it were in other places, a worker could get two or three taels of silver. Does this mean that a county magistrate's annual income is equivalent to the annual income of more than ten workers?"

"If that's the case, I think it's high enough for him to live on!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"Jingxuan, your calculation is pretty close. If it were an ordinary person, with an income of thirty or fifty taels of silver a year, he could definitely live a good life. He could live in a spacious and comfortable house, marry a wife and several concubines, and eat meat for every meal!"

"But you have to know that he is the county magistrate! He is the father and mother official of the county, and he has the power of life and death over others. Many county magistrates live in three-story houses, with dozens of slaves and servants serving them!"

"So, Jingxuan, seeing these people who look up to you and are submissive to you, but dare not even fart in front of you, living a better life than you, what do you think?"

Jing Xuan was stunned by Ye Mingsheng's question, and then Ye Mingsheng continued:
"And at this time, you find that just a casual word from you, or even without saying anything, just a glance or a gesture can bring you huge wealth and allow you and your family to live a better life?"

“Moreover, as long as your superiors don’t know about this behavior, you can remain as stable as a rock and continue to serve as the county magistrate. In this situation, Jingxuan, what choice will you make...?”
