MTL - I Don’t Want To Fight Anymore After Wearing An Outer Room-Chapter 504 His Highness Hideaki

  The situation in the household department was even worse than Wen Jiuxiao thought. The accounts were messy, and the treasury was really empty. The hundreds of thousands of silver taels he brought back from the bandits were filled in without even a splash.

  Wen Jiuxiao was sorting out the messy accounts and worrying about money at the same time, wishing he had a pair of hands that can turn stones into gold. When he was in a hurry, he really wanted to take Yu Xiaozhi's suggestion: ransack the house.

  Ministers in the court, how many of them are innocent? Especially those nobles from aristocratic families, who have a lot of pigtails. Check a few big silverfish, raid a few mansions, and the treasury can be almost filled.

  It's a pity that the emperor is seriously ill, and the prince is in charge of the country, so there should be no big disturbances.

  How to fill the treasury? Wen Jiuxiao thought about it, and within two days he really came up with an idea, which was pretty bad to say the least.

The people in Beijing suddenly realized that there were many officials inspecting the streets, and they seemed to have become stern and selfless. The children of high-ranking officials who were afraid to control them before, now as long as they make trouble, the officials who enforce the law will immediately come forward to arrest them. people.

   No matter how good your family background is or how big your background is, it’s not working now.

   Take them away, take them all away and put them in prison.

   Some were imprisoned in Dali Temple, some in Jingzhao Mansion, and even Wucheng Bingmasi. Where you are locked up depends on who is caught.

  The family wants to make money, so yes, we are ministers in the same hall, and we don’t see those who look up. Some relationships are quite good, and it’s not a big deal. I just molested a girl in the street. Can I not give this little face?

  However, if I give you face, you have to make it easy for me!

   It is okay to fish people, but you have to get money.

So, a list with clearly marked prices was thrown out: three hundred taels for molesting women in the street; four hundred taels for those who pick quarrels and trouble; five hundred taels for those who bully others; One thousand taels for those who rob the women of the people; five thousand taels and ten thousand taels for those who rob the women of the people and cause injuries to death...

   Then throw out another confession, and compare it yourself, how much money should be paid. After paying the fine, the person can be taken away.

   Can you pay less? Of course it won't work! How much should be punished for any crime? This is determined by His Highness the Crown Prince himself. How can we comment on it? You can go ahead, you can negotiate with His Royal Highness, as long as there is a note from His Royal Highness, we can release people without fine money.

  What can these people do? I can only hold my nose and pay the fine. What's the use of being angry? His attitude is very good, he accompanied you all the time with a smile on his face, and even sent you out of the gate when he left, waving his hand, "Go!"

  The next sentence after the good walk is actually "Welcome again". There is money to be collected, so don't you just look forward to your coming again?

   These fines are to be handed over to the state treasury. The reason why Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and Wucheng Bingmasi are so active in patrolling the streets to arrest people is because it is beneficial. For every person caught, they can keep 10% of the fine money.

  For example, isn’t it fined three hundred taels of silver for catching a molested girl in the street? Turn over two hundred and seventy taels to the treasury, and they can keep thirty taels.

   One person is thirty taels, and ten people is three hundred taels. If a big criminal is caught, wouldn't it be... oh, this is a big fortune. The yamen is rich, and those servants can follow suit, who is not active?

   Someone asked: What if the person caught is a low-level rogue and cannot pay the fine? What's so embarrassing about this? If you can't pay the fine, you will go to jail, and you will be locked up to avoid harming others.

   But, ahem, which one of these officials is not sharp-eyed? Is it "Fat Sheep" that can be seen at a glance.

  At the beginning, the courtiers only acted as His Highness the Crown Prince to assert his prestige, and secretly slandered a few words, but naturally dared not say anything in the open except to strictly restrain the nephews at home. Not only can't complain, but also have to flatter and sing praises.

When those people in Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple couldn't catch the dishonest youngsters and took aim at officials who violated their duties and violated discipline, these dignitaries who are used to controlling everything came back to their senses, especially when they knew that all the fines had gone into the treasury, so Well, it turned out to be Xiaowen Shangshu's handwriting!

  Loss, too **** loss!

   Did they lose only silver? All the taints of those officials' children who were arrested have been recorded, so there is no future to speak of in the future, and they almost don't want to take the official career again.

   There are also those officials, who are bound by court laws and regulations, and they dare not commit serious crimes on the surface, but they can raise a concubine, go to a brothel, there are still some. Deficiencies in personal morality also need to be recorded on the resume. If you are ashamed, you will not talk about it, and it will also affect your official career.

   Think about how hateful Wen Jiuxiao is! It is said that when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. When the ministers saw Wen Jiuxiao, they were not only jealous, they wished they could pounce on him and bite him. If eyes could kill people, Wen Jiuxiao would have been killed thousands of times by them.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very happy, the treasury has money, the law and order situation in Beijing has improved a lot, and even the administration of officials is clear.

   "Haha, it has to be Xiaowen Shangshu, Xiaowen Shangshu is really capable!" He laughed, and he could see that he was in a very good mood.

   As for damage, ha, His Royal Highness is from the army, and in order to ask for military pay, he has used all the tricks worse than this. It doesn't matter whether it hurts or not, as long as it works.

   "Your Highness is wise." Wen Jiuxiao was neither arrogant nor impetuous.

  This is also the truth. Without the support of His Royal Highness, he would not be able to move Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple and Wucheng Bingmasi. Even if he has an old relationship with Dali Temple, he can ask for help. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not endorse him, he will definitely fall into the trap of being impeached. How can it be like this now, with His Royal Highness the crown prince at the front, and the ministers have nothing to do with him.

  Impeach him? This is His Highness the Prince's idea, what does it have to do with him? Shangshu Xiaowen, who is in his thirties, is much more shameless than Master Xiaowen, who is in his twenties.

  However, the hateful eyes of those people are really annoying.

  Wen Jiuxiao closed his eyelids, and said softly: "Your Highness, this time, I have committed public anger. You didn't see it. Sincerely Bo's eyes yesterday, I wish I could eat my minister."

The shameless Wen Jiuxiao didn't have any pressure to file a complaint, "I am also a father, so I can understand his feelings. But his son bought a private house and hired a servant, and it wasn't because of me! I sympathized with him but It's really wrong. But..."

   Immediately after changing the topic, he said: "But sincerity, Mr. Bo is still young after all. Young people, it is inevitable to take some detours. Your Highness, I think I have to give another chance."

   "Oh?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd for a while, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

  Wen Jiuxiao coughed lightly, "As I see it, young people should be given a chance to reform themselves. Let them redeem their confessions with money. It would take up a lot of space."

   "It does take up quite a lot of space." The prince's eyes were full of smiles, "According to Xiaowen Shangshu, how much money is suitable?"

   "It's double the fine. The minister is also doing it for their own good. Only when the price of making a mistake is high, can they remember this lesson and be vigilant at all times."

   After a pause, he added in a soft voice, "With this redemption money, this year's military salary can be paid, and the current situation can be temporarily settled."

   "Shangshu Xiaowen is right!" His Royal Highness nodded slightly, looking at Wen Jiuxiao with satisfaction. Tune in to hear that Jiuxiao's decision to join the household department in Beijing is too wise!

   "I will issue a warrant now!"

   "Your Highness is wise!"

  Wen Jiuxiao stood respectfully, and the crown prince patted him on the shoulder, like a monarch and his ministers getting along well.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update!
