"2 million silver. I earned this much just by giving presents for the new year. Earning money as a government official is really easy. My methods are simple, but I earn money quickly. I earn more!"
"That's right. It's just a new year, so we don't know what kind of official this Lord Cui is. He definitely isn't the biggest official anyway. This way, he'll be able to earn a lot more during the holiday than we've worked so hard to earn in our lives." These officials, they are such f * cking bastards! "
"That's right, we only earned that little bit of money by risking our lives every day, but they only had to eat and drink. They only needed to collect money at home, why is that so!?"
Hearing Fang Shuwen's words, the citizens immediately burst into an uproar, their voices becoming louder and louder. On the other side, the citizens of the Four Great Academies who were still guarding the place couldn't help but come running over out of curiosity.
"It's really funny. Before the dignified Daqi Dynasty court's disaster relief team even had time to set off, they had already started fighting amongst themselves. In front of so many people, they began talking about their own officials taking advantage of their positions to rob money. Such a lively scene is truly beautiful. Brother Zhu, I can't help but want to go over and take a look! "
In front of the many Confucian Scholars of the four great academies, a youth with a gentle and feminine face looked at Zhu Junxuan with a smile.
"Brother Rongye is right. This kind of liveliness is really rare." Who knew what the emperor of Daqi Dynasty was thinking? He actually sent such a person to lead the disaster relief operation. First, we firmly suppressed them. All of the people that came to send off ran over to our side, making them lose a lot of face. It's really funny that they didn't think of a way to remedy the situation and even made a joke out of it. " Zhu Junxuan looked at the crowd in front of him with disdain, and when his gaze landed on Guo Feng, his face suddenly changed.
Guo Feng, he received the invitation card that I gave him, but he still hasn't gone to the academy. What does he want to do? Didn't he know the names of the four great academies? He had the opportunity to go to the four great academies, but he actually didn't go. How could there be such a foolish scholar under the heavens!
Zhu Junxuan was wondering in his heart, when he heard Rong Ye's voice again, which carried a sense of ridicule: "Who said that there is no one over there? Look, don't you see that there are a lot more people over there than us?
As Rong Ye spoke, he looked to his side. He had long since been entrusted with this task and had disguised himself as a commoner. He laughed heartily and said, "Let's go. We can't not watch if there's something interesting. Let's also go and take a look."
After he finished speaking, Rong Ye walked toward Fang Shuwen's group with large strides. Behind him, Zhu Junxuan and the other members of the four great academies swiftly followed.
"Three years ago, in July, Cui Zhemin collected one million silver from a merchant surnamed Huang. Then, five days later, his son was promoted to Registrar Official ?"
"Two years ago, in July, the imperial government sent you to the province of Yuanzhong for a drought. You took this opportunity to make a profit of 3 million taels of silver from your private pocket, yet you let the victims in Yuezhong eat the worst quality food for slaughter. You even changed the two meals per day that the imperial government had set for the victims into one meal per day."
"Then one winter ago, you were ordered to purchase a quilt, but spent 4 million silver to buy a quilt worth 2 million silver. I wonder how many kicks you took out of the 2 million silver?"
Fang Shuwen recited the matters of Cui Zhemin's three years of greed and the use of his position to take rebates, and to collect money to seek personal gains for others. He recounted all of these, and the more he spoke, the more Cui Zhemin was shocked, and cold sweat dripped down.
The people would not investigate, nor would they investigate whether the words spoken by the young man were true or false. In any case, none of the officials were good people.
A mere county magistrate could earn up to a million taels of silver in ten years. That was already a very honest and incorruptible position. There was not a single official who was not greedy.
They absolutely did not doubt the words of the young boy.
"Damn, this old bastard, no wonder he ate so much. So he was greedy for so much money."
My brother's family was starved to death in that disaster. In the end, only my nephew was left of his family of seven. So, all of this was because of you, old bastard.
Amongst the commoners, a well-dressed middle-aged man picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at Cui Zhemin.
Swoosh. With a sound, the fist, which was the size of a baby's fist, flew out and grazed Cui Zhemin's forehead.
Some of them couldn't find the items they wanted, so they took the food that was originally prepared to give to the four big academies's relief team and threw it towards Cui Zhemin.
For a moment, stones, eggs, various vegetables and fruits all rained down on Cui Zhemin. In order to prevent himself from being affected by the lake, the two guards pressing down on him all moved far away to the side.
Seeing all of this, Fang Shuwen immediately shouted, making all the citizens to stop.
"Fellow villagers, don't throw them away, don't throw them away, what we threw away is edible food, right now our Daqi Dynasty is in danger, the things we threw away can save a lot of lives, everyone stop wasting food, we might as well donate this food to the disaster area!"
Fang Shuwen shouted out repeatedly, and after a long while, everyone listened to him and stopped.
Looking at Cui Zhemin whose head was beaten full of buns, whose nose was bruised and face was swollen, whose entire body was covered with various vegetable juices, Fang Shuwen turned his head and looked at the many Confucian Scholars behind him. With a smile in his heart, he walked towards Cui Zhemin and shouted sternly: "Cui Zhemin, have you seen how I, Da Qi's people, treat you? This is what you deserve. As an official of my Daqi Dynasty, your country will give you a salary and salary, but you won't know to repay the king and only seek profit for yourself. How can you live up to the emperor! "
With that, Fang Shuwen looked at Cui Zhemin's clothes, and said coldly: You are still a Confucian Scholar, that is even more strange, could it be that the Ancient Sage taught you this way, and wanted you to plunder the people's ointment like that? That you should be so greedy that you failed the law? "
"A Confucian scholar who doesn't know to return the country yet is selfish. Is this what you Confucian scholars do? All of them were filled with righteousness and morality, and all of them were pretending to be merciful. How long had they been talking about such nice things? Everything is for the sake of the common people, and in the end, you even put the money into your own pocket just in the guise of saving others! "
The more Fang Shuwen spoke, the angrier he got, and in the end, he did not bring up Cui Zhemin's name, and only spoke of the Confucian Scholars: "Scholar, I finally recognize you guys. You hypocrites are even more disgusting than fake villains."
Rong Ye and Zhu Junxuan had been watching the joke from the start, but the more they looked at the situation, the more they felt that something was amiss.
In the end, they even directly pointed the cannons at the four great academies without even mapping them!
Rongye immediately flew into a rage, "This, you must be the Seventh Prince right? Please be careful when you speak. We naturally have no objections if you teach your officials a lesson. However, do not change the topic to our Confucius Sect."
"You want me to transfer it to your Gui Men? I don't dare to move, and even more so, I don't. Because the person I am talking about, is a Confucian Scholar! " Fang Shuwen laughed in his heart that had been blooming like a flower since long ago while squatting on the ground.
He had collected information on so many people under the Third Brother, why did he not look for anyone but look for Cui Zhemin? It was because Cui Zhemin was a Confucian Scholar!
As expected, when the students of the four academies heard the name 'Confucian Scholars', some of them couldn't help but step out.
"That's right, he is indeed a Confucian Scholar, but he alone is unable to represent all of us Confucian Scholars. He is only one of the few Confucian Scholars among us, and the majority of us Confucian Scholars, especially the scholars from the four great academies, have always pursued the teachings of this ancient sage. Rong Ye began to explain loudly. Just as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
"No, no." Guo Feng lightly waved his fan and walked out from the crowd. Looking at Rong Ye, he smiled and shook his head: "This, the so-called 'poverty is the best in the world', and the 'poverty is the best in the world'. These words were added by you, it is not the words of the ancient sages!"
"That's right, these are not the words of the ancient sages, nor are they the words of the saints. But the students of our four great academies have always pursued them like this, so what questions do I have when I say it?" Rongye coldly looked at the handsome boy opposite him, secretly disdainful in his heart. He wanted to pick on the flaws in his words. This kid was truly arrogant.
He was a member of the Four Great Academies, and this kid in front of him seemed to be a scholar as well, but he wasn't a member of the Four Great Academies. He still wanted to confront me, but he didn't go home and take a piss.
Looking at the expression of the man opposite him, Guo Feng started to feel even more disdain for the four great academies.
"Are you saying that the people from your four great academies are all pursuing the pursuit of poverty while taking care of the world?" Guo Feng smiled as he asked back, confirming the words of the other party once again.
"That's right, this is our goal. Is it wrong?" Facing Guo Feng's retorts, Rong Ye immediately looked at him with disdain. To ask the same question so many times, there must be something wrong with his brain.
