C745 poor capital official

The Ministry of Revenue received the news of 4 million silver coins overnight, which quickly spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind. Early the next morning, everyone who could enjoy the salary of the imperial court already knew the news, it showed just how terrible the security of the Great Qing Dynasty Hall was.

Someone in the late Qing had analyzed this phenomenon before. The main reason why the Manchu dynasty's government could not keep this a secret was because of this Eight Flag system.

As long as you were not blind, with only a few words, and as long as your limbs were not crippled, you would still be able to eat and drink in the army, and not even have to work to get these iron-clad crops.

This system raised a large number of idle people, and the idle people were all nosy. Every day, they would gather together to brag and brag, to play with two walnuts in their hands, to set up the caged birds. Every day, they would come and go between the teahouses, the opera house and the tavern.

In fact, many of the Eight Flag idler s who leaked information to the imperial government did not do it for the money, nor did they have any hostile forces to bribe them.

After that, the news spread, and all the officials of Chinese Officer followed suit. From that day on, there were no more secrets of the imperial court in the Great Qing Dynasty.

For example, the news that the Ministry of Revenue had gained 4 million silver taels had spread like the wind these past few days. All the people who were in arrears in payment had gathered together to guess when the Ministry of Revenue would be able to help them make up for the loss of money, but unfortunately, no news had come after three days.

This time, the Nine Tribes and the Eight Banners were panicking. Each of them formed a connection in private, asking for information and pressuring the imperial government. The four million silver taels blew apart the deep pond known as Beijing in an instant.

"My fellow colleagues, it's useless for you all to surround me. Actually, the money that was sent to the capital this time is four million …" Let me get to the bottom of this, the truth is that only two million silver taels are made from Dragon-striated Silver Coin s forged by the Ryukyu … "Hey, you all don't even need to say it. His craftsmanship is great, she even made it prettier than us …"

This well-informed official of the Ministry of Rites was clearly talkative and fond of brothels. His words were able to change many topics. In the end, he was so angry that his colleagues grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Get down to business …" Don't be ridiculous, do you still want us to invite you? "

"Aiyo, don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you right away …" "Actually, only two million silver taels are real silver taels. The other two million are the household bonds issued by Jiangnan. Ten, five, one face. I heard that in the future, some fifty, two, one face …"

"The imperial government won't touch two million taels of cash. That is the bank deposit from the Ministry of Revenue. The only thing that is going to be issued to us is those paper bonds …"

The officials from the Ministry of Rites exploded before they could finish their words. They did not dare to cause a ruckus despite the fact that the imperial government was not willing to pay up, but now the imperial government was trying to fool them with a piece of scrap paper. This was intolerable.

"Shameless!" Shameless … What does the court think of us? Are three-year-olds just as gullible? The Department of Revenue sold the white bars of the local daoyin to Xiao Letian. Xiao Letian went back to split the white sticks into small amounts, and then sold it to our imperial government.

"Being bullied by Xiao Letian to such a state, you actually don't even dare to let out a fart …" At this time, he did not know that the official had eaten too much salty water to cook the soybeans. Just as he was having a bad stomach, a stinky fart was released with a "pu" sound.

The entire room was filled with the heavy smell of soybeans and half fermented. The officials who were filled with righteous indignation and indignation were out of breath at this moment. However, a single deep breath had sucked away most of the stench.

"Ugh …" You, you, you, you … We're talking about the imperial government, why are you cooperating! "Ugh …"

The biohazard official retorted with a red face, "What can I do? I'm not afraid of your jokes. I only have half a bunch of money left in my family. If I can't get the money within three days, I'll have to be my wife's hairpin …"

"Wuwuwu …" The Ten Year Freezing Window! I'm a sinner, ah, to come out and be a lousy official, not even having a single portion of oily water, and still owing us so much money and money, eating boiled soybeans in salt water every day, what kind of feeling is that? Do you know what that feels like! "

At this time, someone close to him said faintly, "Ai …" "Who hasn't eaten soybeans and pickled vegetables before? Let me teach you a trick. After the autumn is over, you should buy some snow red meat and marinate it. When you go back and cook with soybeans, the taste is really good …"

Before he could finish, he heard a loud smack, and the indignant farting official shouted, "What are you trying to say!?" We've already become like this, why are you still talking about 'red in the snow' … "Don't tell me I didn't know that there was a redness in the snow? I almost ate until I puked …"

"What I'm saying is that we can't continue to be like this any longer. The faces of the officials of the imperial court have already been completely thrown away …" If we want to fight, we must fight! "

"Right, we have to fight …" The surrounding officials were filled with righteous indignation, but how could they resist it? Did he also want to learn how to parade like those top students?

Right at this moment, a servant ran in with a head full of sweat. "Milords, everyone, this is good news …" "Aiya, the Ministry of Revenue is going to send out a salary. They are going to cover half of everyone's arrears. Everyone, you must bring a small one with you when treating us!"

The servant thought that he would be rewarded by the lords, but he didn't expect to see a group of angry faces.

"Look, the time to test us has come. I would actually like to see if you have the face to do so? "Come on, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue. If Minister Lin has the face to give us these broken pieces of paper, I'll throw them in his face!"

"Let's go!" The group of people stood up with a murderous look on their faces and strode towards the Department of Revenue. The servant was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue were not far from each other. There was only the yamen of the Military Department in between them. The officer of the Ministry of Rites and Department of Revenue was walking on a carriage. Soon, he arrived at the door of the Ministry of Revenue.

They were not the first group of officials to arrive. Currently, there was an endless stream of people crowding outside the door of the Ministry of Revenue. What was even more surprising was that there were a group of merchants outside the door of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Look, when they heard that they were in arrears, even the capital's merchants were alarmed. Their noses were full of Spirit, and they knew that the officials were rich, so they must have spent their money and came here to solicit business …"

"Forget it. I don't think they're here to recruit business. They're here to collect their debts. We owe a lot of money to these sellers in the past two years. They're even afraid of us running away when they hear that we're paid!"

These words were truly depressing. All the officials of the Ministry of Rites shook their heads and sighed.
