"Wei Ming of the Southwest Economic Strategy has issued an order to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunan for ten years. If there is any disobedience, they will be executed on the spot!" Yes, and there are people who curse.Up to the chief envoy, the governor, down to the county magistrate, they are all terrified.To be honest, as long as it is a human being, there will be shit in the buttocks, and if you open someone's stove, the bottom of the pot will also be black.After so many years, in the big environment of the three southwestern provinces, if you don't get some, you won't be able to get along here at all.Wei Ming also understands this truth, he doesn't want to hear any kind of voice.Officialdom is a big pot, common people are soup, and those officials are the ingredients in it.These ingredients will inevitably be good and bad, but they are also inextricably linked.Without anyone, there will be no good soup.Where there are corrupt officials, there must be honest officials.Where there are mediocre officials, there must be dry officials.There must always be a comparison, otherwise, the value of existence will be greatly reduced.

Looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him, Wei Ming felt a little headache.The accounts are there, these guys dare not disobey, they can only come over and admit their mistakes, hoping to get a lenient treatment.After all, rebels like She Chongming and An Bangyan can benefit from Wei Ming's place. They don't believe that Wei Ming insists on punishing them just because they have made some money over the years.As long as Wei Ming agrees to turn the big thing into a small thing, then this matter will pass like this.No one will take it seriously.If the case does not fall on the Emperor's desk, the big guy can still enjoy himself happily.This kind of work is not unfamiliar to them.Because, before, they did it more than once.The Metropolitan Procuratorate will come to inspect every year. Isn't the big guy doing well now?They believe that this time it will pass like this.From their point of view, the matter is bigger this time, and Wei Ming's official position is higher, so the price they have to pay is just higher.And this price refers mainly to money.It's great, it's enough to drag out a few scapegoats in the end.This kind of unsightly guy can be found everywhere, and if you catch a large number of them, you won't have to worry about finding them.But what they didn't know was that when they entered the door, Luo Sigong had already sent their crimes and evidence to the capital through Jinyiwei's channel.What they don't even know is that what Wei Ming hates the most in his life is corrupt officials.

"Okay, everyone, stop kneeling. Kneeling on the ground makes you feel uncomfortable, and I don't feel comfortable either. Get up, and everyone find a seat to sit there. Let's have a good chat today, see Let's see how to solve this matter." Wei Ming said with a smile on his face.Seeing that Wei Ming was so easy to talk to, everyone felt relieved and sat down peacefully.Some people even think that the rumors outside are indeed good, Wei Ming is actually a novice in the officialdom because he has no guts.I dare not offend others, and I am not willing to offend others.All he loves is money.As long as this is done enough, then the big guy will definitely be fine.There are quite a few people who have this idea, and there are also people who drink tea and eat snacks slowly.There are also people who start to show off.Wei Ming saw all this in his eyes.I'm afraid you won't be able to cry when the time comes.

"All of you here are senior members of the fifth rank and above from the three provinces. It is not easy to be able to get to this point. The hardships involved cannot be understood by outsiders." Wei Ming's words really aroused a lot of sympathy.It's not easy for everyone to eat and drink in the court.I was trembling all day long, deeply afraid that one day some catastrophe would come to me.But now it seems that Wei Ming did not have such an accident.So a bold official even stood up to pick up the words: "Marquis Wei, isn't it? You guys have studied hard for more than ten years in order to become a blockbuster one day. Everyone here is also considered the best among them. Those who did, also did it. I think back then I braved the snow to go to study with a teacher, and now I think about it, I feel very sad." After finishing speaking, he hugged Wei Ming, feeling a sense of sympathy.Wei Ming also returned the gift, saying that it was indeed the case.

"Everyone's hard work has paid off now. Yes, it's really good. The court's salary is low, it is indeed low. It is so low that it is not enough for everyone to have three wives and four concubines, rich clothes and good food, and even the problem of food and clothing is difficult to solve. I understand all of this. Everyone has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and Wei Ming is here, thank you in advance." Wei Ming stood up and bowed to everyone, bending at ninety degrees, Respectfully, there is no feeling of fooling things at all.The crowd didn't take it too seriously, they got up one after another to return the gift.They can say anything, and most of them say that they will do their best for the court and die.Wei Ming felt sick when he heard it.

"Come on, let's all sit down. Li, I've given it to everyone, so let's settle the score now. The one just now, let's start with you. You should be a political right in Sichuan, right? Tsk tsk, The official position is not small, starting from a senior official of the third rank. When transferred to the capital, he is an official at the rank of minister! Come on, I will do the math for you. Now you have more than a thousand tenants in your family, five houses, eight wives and concubines, all The assets add up to more than 20 silver coins. Silver coins are not used here yet? Well, the time is short, and it should come over after a while. That is 20 taels of silver. You are a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli, and you entered the Imperial Academy first , was later sent to Sichuan, and started from the general judgment. I calculated it for you, based on the fact that you have been a senior official from the third rank since the 35th year of Wanli, with a monthly salary of 26 shi. Even if you don’t spend a single coin for eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping, you can now have 5000 taels of silver and count it as a reward. Where did the 20 taels of silver come from? Come on, tell me. It’s okay, stop explaining, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense. Let’s take a look at this one again. Sichuan Salt Department Tiju, from the fifth rank, a Jinshi in Wanli 47, tsk tsk, fat poor, no wonder you are a small official from the fifth rank. They made even more from Sanpin. It’s only been a few years, and their assets have exceeded 30 taels. Come on, why don’t you come and see for yourself. Awesome! I heard that your nephew is a businessman? Did you earn money from selling private salt? Less! Come on, don’t kneel, I can’t stand you kneeling like you. Come on, I won’t read anymore. Among you, the few have assets exceeding tens of thousands of taels. The more, even It reached a few million taels. Then tell me, according to the law of the Great Ming, how should I punish you?" Wei Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the group of stupefied people in front of him, his teeth itching in his heart.If there is someone who can stand up and shout loudly: "I don't like that kind of hard life, I am corrupt, what can you do with me?" Wei Ming might be able to look at them high.But there is no such person, not a single one.Yes, just a group of people kneeling on the ground crackling.

It would be wrong to say that there is not a single stubble.One stood up and said, "Marquis Wei, it is said that you have a very close relationship with my adoptive father, I wonder if you can..."

"Who is your adoptive father?" Wei Ming looked at this guy jokingly.For a young man in his twenties, with experience in Sichuan, from the sixth grade, it is not bad to be able to get such a job at this age.The reason why he was able to come in today is also because Wei Ming knew that there was such a adoptive father standing behind him.Let's see if he will tell the foster father.

"Marquis Wei, please take a step to speak." The kid still knows something.But yes, Wei Zhongxian is not what everyone wants.

"Okay, let's talk about it now." Wei Ming said with a smile.He really wanted to know how this young man would behave when he said no.

The young man looked around, and when he was sure that no one would hear him, he said, "Marquis Wei, my adoptive father is a celebrity around the current emperor, Wei Zhongxian." The young man should have studied hard for a while, and he knew that It's not a glorious thing for an eunuch to be a foster father. In the end, he didn't even have the face to look at Wei Ming.

"Since you still have some sense of shame, why do you recognize an eunuch as a foster father? Isn't this nonsense? Also, now that all the case files have been sent to the capital, tell me, can I help you?" Wei Ming said .In life, many things are involuntary.For example, this young man, he knows that it is disgraceful to recognize Wei Zhongxian as a foster father.But Wei Zhongxian's position is high and powerful, as long as he recognizes it, he can rise to the top.So, he did.So now, don't have any regrets.Now because there are too many people who have committed crimes, an official from the sixth rank still has a chance of life.When Wei Zhongxian falls, it will be hard to say.Maybe something happened now, but it was a good thing.
