I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

"Moreover, we have read the books of Confucius and Mencius since we were young, and we have learned the rites of saints! The saints told us that scholars should take the country and the people of dawn as their own responsibility, and do their best to die!"

"You have read the books for so many years, where have you read them? Are you worthy of your conscience? Are you not afraid of being poked in the back by the people under the nine springs?"

The officials who were reprimanded all looked ashamed.

"What my lord has taught me is that I am ashamed of myself!"

"I won't dare to do it again after I get off the job!"

"From now on, we will enforce the law impartially, and live up to the emperor's grace, the common people, and our conscience!"

……

Lin Beifan nodded gratifiedly: "It's not too late to turn back when you've lost your way! But I consider your difficulties, sometimes you should be greedy, and you still have to be greedy, otherwise life will be difficult!"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, you told us not to bully the common people, and you told us that we can be greedy, what do you mean?

Wouldn't it be phishing enforcement?

One of them asked cautiously: "My lord, what do you mean, I don't understand the officials?"

"Let me tell you how you got your money first!" Lin Beifan said with a slight smile: "It must be that during the trial, one party gave you benefits! You are for the other party's money, or fear the other party's power, so you naturally prefer The rich and powerful party, is this official right?"

"This..." No one dared to admit it, but it was equivalent to acquiescing.

Lin Beifan shook his head: "Small, you guys are too small! How much money can you get by doing this? No wonder you've only got a few 10 taels for so many years, and you can't get an official position!"

Everyone looked at each other again, feeling that they were despised by the other party.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the other party despises you.

The other party has been an official for less than a year, and has embezzled several times more money than them, but the official position has been promoted rapidly all the way, and they have jumped several levels, and now they are riding on their heads.

Compared with the other party, I live like a dog.

Come to think of it, it was really frustrating.

"Master Fu Cheng, what should we do?" A general judge asked humbly for advice.

"You are asking the right person. I will tell you now!" Lin Beifan shouted, "If you want to be greedy, you should be greedy for the money of the rich! If you want to bully, you should also bully the powerful!"

"How much money do ordinary people have? All their net worth combined may not be enough for you to eat a meal! Why don't you bully the rich, the combined net worth of thousands of ordinary people can't compare to a rich man!"

"The ordinary people are just white men, what power do they have? Is it interesting for you to bully them? It is time-consuming and laborious, and it is of no benefit! It is better to bully the powerful, and the pleasure will be felt!"

Officials: "Fuck!"

"However, how can we greedy these people's money?" an official asked tremblingly.

Lin Beifan said angrily: "Stupid, you can't understand such a simple truth? As long as you convict them and arrest them, won't you have room to move?"

"For example, Yuanwailang, who was just arrested by the official, according to the law of Dawu, he will be beaten 80 times with a cane and served five years in prison! You said that he is willing to pay for such a thin-skinned and tender-skinned person who can't bear hardships. Free to fight, or have to bear 80 boards?"

The officials' eyes lit up: "They must be willing to pay!"

Lin Beifan added: "He will spend five years in our prison cell. Do you think he is willing to spend money on good food and drink, or does he want to eat bad food and drink bad water like others?"

The officials' eyes lit up again: "I must spend money to enjoy it!"

"The conditions in the cell are very harsh, and there is no freedom. Do you think he wants to commute his sentence?"

The eyes of the officials became brighter: "I definitely want to!"

"Then what should he do?"

The officials said in unison: "Spend money to reduce the sentence!"

Lin Beifan slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Look, aren't these all opportunities? As long as we catch them in, we can raise conditions within the scope of our duties! This is not a one-time deal. After the case is over, there will be no Yes! We can do it from the beginning to the end, as long as he can't stand the grievance, he can only spend money, a steady stream!"

In this way..." Lin Beifan smiled triumphantly: "We can uphold justice for the people, worthy of the court, worthy of the people, and even more worthy of our conscience!Wouldn't it be nice to get a fortune out of it? "

"My lord! Tall, really tall!" Everyone gave thumbs up one after another, admiringly.

"Congratulations, my colleagues!" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "So in the future, when trying cases, give me the favor of the common people! The common people have a hard life, and they are easy to die, so they can't be bullied! But these powerful people can bully them to death! As long as you don't beat them to death with a stick, they will all confess!"

Everyone nodded with a smile, as if they had seen a way of making money, spreading out to them.

Lin Beifan whispered: "As long as this matter is done well, I promise that you can share [-]% of the money they got from them, and I will keep the remaining [-]%!"

Everyone's eyes are shining brightly.

However, one judge was not satisfied: "My lord, can you add a little more?"

Lin Beifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I can give [-]%!"

The other party was ecstatic: "Thank you, Mr. Fu Cheng!"

"However, if you bully powerful people in the future, such as court officials, you will be the top!"

"Fuck!"

The opponent's face instantly turned red.

He is a small official, he can't stand it at all!

Anyone who pops up at random can destroy him until there is not even ashes left!

Tong Juan smiled resentfully: "It's better for Mr. Fu Cheng to stand up! Mr. You are under such a great pressure, you should take more, so I agree with both hands and feet!"

"The lower officials also agree that the prime minister will take most of it!"

"Master Fu Cheng has worked hard!"

……

"It's not hard work at all!" Lin Beifan said righteously: "My colleagues, for His Majesty, for the common people, and even for our upright heart, let us all work hard together! Do your best and die!"

All the government officials are completely convinced!

Look at others, greedy for money can say so fresh and refined, so tall and stalwart!

It's no wonder that he's so successful in the officialdom, he's a person with real skills!

So, under the auspices of Lin Beifan, all the officials mobilized to deal with some old cases first.

People who sue the government and the people who sue the powerful will be given priority.

After the trial, many powerful people were thrown into prison.

Many of the tyrants involved were all terrified.

He wanted to give a gift, but found that it was not feasible. The other party looked at him with green eyes, as if he was about to swallow him.

Some people sent gifts to the hands of the court officials, hoping to say a few words and be accommodating.

As soon as he learned that the matter was related to De Tianfu, he immediately returned the gift.

I can't afford to provoke that person!

It's better not to mess with it!

People in the capital gradually discovered that Detian Mansion had changed. It no longer protected each other from officials and officials, but instead enforced the law impartially. They often attacked those powerful people to safeguard the interests of the common people.

As a result, the common people have become more and more courageous, and they are confident and bold to sue!

For such litigants, Detianfu welcomes and warmly receives them.

And I guarantee that as long as your lawsuit demands are reasonable and legal, they will definitely redress the grievances of the people and make decisions for the people.

Many powerful people were terrified!

I have to tuck my tail to avoid trouble, if the accused arrives in Detian Mansion, he will lose his skin even if he is not dead!

As a result, the phenomenon of bullying and bullying became less, and everyone acted honestly and according to the rules. The atmosphere of the whole capital took on a new look, and the life of ordinary people was much easier!

And Lin Beifan embezzled a lot of money from it, and lived happily ever after.

The officials under him have also reaped a lot of benefits, and their lives are happy.

It can be said that from beginning to end, everyone has benefited!

Only those who bully others will suffer, and they deserve it! .

Chapter 210 Activating the Street Stall Economy!Spend the least money, do the most things!

When the social environment is improved, Lin Beifan feels that it is possible to engage in the economy.

Only when the economy is done well and the common people have money, can they have enough food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment.

This is also his greatest performance.

At this time, Lin Beifan was walking on the main street in the capital with a judge.

"Master Wang, how do you think we can increase the income of the common people and make them rich?" Lin Beifan smiled and asked an official next to him.

"There are many ways!" Lord Wang said with a smile: "For example, lowering taxes, encouraging trade, constructing water conservancy, etc. These are all effective ways, but it is difficult to implement them!"

"For example, tax reduction, this tax is not just a reduction! This tax is related to the revenue of the treasury, and it must be approved by the Ministry of Households, and even His Majesty's approval before it can be implemented! Our locality does not have this right!"

Lin Beifan nodded. Taxes are an important source of finance for the country, and local governments only have the right to collect them, and they cannot be lowered.

Moreover, since ancient times, only the emperor lightly paid taxes and gave amnesty to the world!

You are a local official, what qualifications do you have?

"There is also encouragement of trade, which will definitely promote the development of economy and commerce, and make people rich! For example, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is a rich place because of its prosperous commerce, and many people have money!"

"However, there is also a big problem! There is indeed a strong business atmosphere there, and everyone is doing business instead of production! There used to be a lot of fertile land there, but now a lot of it has been abandoned, and the grain production has been decreasing year by year! Grain prices It is about 5% higher than other areas, and many people cannot afford food!"

"Once this person is hungry, there will be more problems, and the society will become turbulent! Therefore, my dynasty has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. It is really a last resort!"

Lin Beifan nodded again.

Now is the era of small-scale peasant economy, and the productive forces are not developed, so whether we can eat is a problem.

Therefore, in order to have enough food, most people live their lives with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.

With fewer people working, food production will be less.

The decrease in food production will cause everyone to have enough to eat, which will affect all aspects of things, and even shake the foundation of the country.

Therefore, the imperial court used various policies and systems to encourage them to work and prevent them from wandering around.

That's how it came about emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

"Next, let's talk about building water conservancy!"

Mr. Wang became more and more talkative: "Building water conservancy projects, canal projects, etc., is a relatively easy and most direct method for us. It is equivalent to spending money to hire ordinary people to work. In this way, If our water conservancy project is completed, it will benefit the country and the people! The common people will also have money, and life will naturally be easier!"

Lin Beifan nodded: "This is indeed the best way at the moment!"

This method is a bit like government investment in later generations. Using investment to stimulate economic growth has a very significant effect.

"The method is good, but the biggest problem is that there is no money!"

Lord Wang smiled wryly: "The investment for any of these projects is huge! Our government has limited funds and needs to meet unexpected needs! Without the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is really impossible to promote such a huge project!"

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not too difficult! As long as Mr. Wang contributes the money in your hand, there shouldn't be any problem!"

"Ahem, Mr. Fu Cheng was joking, how can a subordinate official have so much money!"

Then neither of them mentioned it.

The two walked and talked.

Lin Beifan found that although this Mr. Wang was very greedy, he was indeed a talent. He knew more about business and economics than others, and he spoke clearly and logically in all aspects.

Mr. Wang was also surprised to find that although this new Mr. Fu Cheng was very young, his knowledge was profound and he had unique insights in economics and business. He would often be able to enlighten him with just a few words.

It's no wonder that every step of the way, people with skills are popular everywhere.

After some conversation, Lin Beifan found that in ancient times, if he wanted to increase the income of the common people, his operation was very limited.

Mainly determined by backward productivity.

Productivity is lagging behind, even food is a problem, most people can only be trapped in the farmland.

In order to ensure production and food supply, and maintain social stability, the country has to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, restrain commercial development, and keep most farmers in the land.

With limited commercial development, the government naturally has no money.

Productivity determines the relationship of production, which is why the current situation is caused, and it is constrained step by step.

Therefore, in order to improve the economic level and increase the income of the people, the most important thing is to increase productivity.
