After checking the treasury, the next step was naturally to check the accounts. If one thought that it was the same as Chongzhou Prefecture, then one would be gravely mistaken. The good show had only just begun.
Of course, there were still similarities. All the officials gathered together and made their own beds in the courtyard. Other than that, they had to take care of their own meals. Don't think that by having your family send your meals over, you could eat comfortably. The premise of comfort was not being picked on by Jin Qinwang. In front of this person, he would say "This meal has two more dishes than Ben Wang", in front of that person, he would say "so-and-so, you're quite enjoying it", or else it would be "Wangfei advocates frugality", causing the officials' meals to get smaller and smaller with each meal more shabby than the last. However, after two days, each and every one of them was just a little better than eating pickled vegetables and eating steamed buns. At home, they tried every possible way to "tamper" with that little bit of food. Once they tasted a certain familiar taste, they would never eat a second bite. Now, tears were streaming down their cheeks as they secretly vowed that they would cherish it in the future.
How could their little actions escape the eyes of the black-robed guards and Li Hongyuan's imperial bodyguards, especially the "secret contacts". However, they all followed Jin Qinwang's instructions and looked on coldly as if they did not see anything. Speaking of which, if they did not do something, how would they be able to get hold of more information that could be used against them. Sometimes, the more you did, the more mistakes you made. Now, it was obviously this kind of situation. Especially when they were doing little things under the eyes of the living King of Hell, it was purely because they did not want to die quickly enough.
The most direct result was that Jin Qinwang Fei became more and more greedy, more and more black-hearted. She clearly sent gifts again and again, but she still did not see her family's Ye return home.
Speaking of which, although they guessed that it was Jin Qinwang Fei who was greedy, but with so many things, they did not really hide it. The possibility that Jin Qinwang did not know was close to zero. Such unbridled greed, did it also have Jin Qinwang's tacit consent or even incitement? Therefore, as long as he didn't know the exact answer, his imagination wouldn't stop.
Jingwan didn't care what those people thought. She was now working hard to squeeze those officials dry of their assets that didn't belong to them. Naturally, Li Hongyuan was incomparably supportive. However, he still kept saying that his wife was too soft-hearted. According to the extravagance of these officials, their little bit of salary wasn't even enough to feed their family. Therefore, the so-called little bit that belonged to them was actually already gone. If it was up to him, he would squeeze them dry until they were poor and had to tighten their belts to survive.
Jiangnan was a land of affluence. On the other hand, the price of living there was actually higher than in the capital. A mansion could easily cost hundreds of taels of silver. In the capital, there were not many mansions that were worth millions of taels of silver. An official in Jiangnan, unless he did not engage in social activities or raise servants, lived a simple life as a family and lived in a small courtyard. That bit of salary could probably be raised, but was it possible? Every place paid attention to connections, paid attention to relationships. It was impossible to be completely independent of the circle. In the capital, with the support of the highest ruler, you could still be a lonely official. Elsewhere, it was simply a fool's dream.
Normally, it would be the family opening a few shops, buying some land and building some manors. Otherwise, it would be the family members who were proficient in gold and stone. Of course, these were not the only channels. What was abnormal was naturally the gray income. Under normal circumstances, this was the most important.
Jingwan thought that it was fine to just cut off this part. She didn't want to make people unable to live.
"What about those people who were plundered? There is one thing that didn't seem to be told to Wan Wan. Li Suyan accidentally knew something before. Three years ago, there was an earthquake in Min Shan County. There were twenty thousand people who survived, and they reported fifty thousand to the court. The court allocated fifty thousand silver to settle down the fifty thousand people and all of it was embezzled. Do you know what happened to those twenty thousand people? "
Jingwan's expression was not very good, "Displaced? Living in poverty? "
Li Hongyuan touched Jingwan's face, "From this point of view, Wan Wan is indeed a Jiaojiao who was raised in a boudoir. She is too naive. Those people were pushed into the pile of corpses and burned to death together. " Seeing Jingwan's face turn pale in an instant, he knew it was a little cruel for her. However, the cold smile on his face did not disappear, "Min Shan County is in the territory of Chuanzhou Prefecture. Wan Wan, tell me, in this matter, from the governor and governor of Shannan Commandery, to the governor of Chuanzhou Prefecture, to the magistrate of Min Shan County, who didn't do anything? Who is innocent? Even if they don't want to be involved, they are forced to be involved. Otherwise, they will be turned into ashes like those people. "
Jingwan looked at him. She had to admit that this man was not a good person. He could be cold-blooded and cold-hearted towards people or things that he did not care about. He could calmly say the cruelest things and did not even mind dragging others into the cruel reality. "Why did you tell me?"
Under normal circumstances, didn't love want her to maintain her senses of beauty in the outside world as much as possible?
"Of course, I want Wan Wan to know and understand me completely. Wan Wan should naturally stay with the real me. Being fake is not my pursuit."
"One is marked by the company one keeps." Jingwan seemed to be talking to herself softly.
"It doesn't matter whether Wan Wan is marked by red or black. However, it's good enough that you have some black ink on you. It's really not easy to dye you as black as me. "In his previous life, Wan Wan had experienced a lot of difficulties and hardships. However, even when she was dying, she did not become cynical and maintained her innocence.
Jingwan smiled noncommittally. However, it was obvious that she would be more ruthless when she slaughtered people.
It was no wonder that Li Hongyuan would be so ruthless to Chuanzhou Prefecture. After the incident in Min Shan County, Chuanzhou Prefecture had the most people dismounted.
At the same time, Min Yuhan returned to the main residence of the Min family. After staying for a night, she turned to the main residence of the Pei family.
There was an old man who looked amiable and wise, and a young girl with an elegant temperament and a calm demeanor, who was beautiful and gentle.
One old and one young, they were exceptionally harmonious.
However, Min Yuhan was extremely ruthless. She was almost certain that this old thing was raising his great-granddaughter in the same way as raising his daughter.
