"Please rest assured, Holy Ancestor, Your Majesty and I will definitely tell everything truthfully!"

Heshen knew that it was not convenient for Qianlong to bow his head, so he took the initiative to speak softly.

If this slave is not greedy, he can be regarded as a strong minister...

Kangxi always paid attention to Heshen, and then looked squarely at Qianlong.

Qianlong also truthfully spoke his mind at this moment: "My grandson... knows that He Shen is greedy!"

"But both my grandson and the Qing Dynasty need He Shen. He has real talents and learning. If he gets a little bit occasionally, my grandson can ignore it."

Qianlong said frankly: "In this world, how many ministers are there who don't want to have a little more?"

"Rather than letting those with selfish desires become uncontrollable, it would be better for my grandson to use a controllable person to control them."

Obviously, Qianlong also had his own intentions for Heshen.

"Nonsense, do you still need to spend so much time dealing with those greedy people?"

"Although there have been many greedy people in my time, I have never deliberately cultivated extremely greedy people like you. If there are many greedy people, then just kill one to serve as a warning to others. Why not!"

Kangxi did not think this was a difficult task.

Qianlong said helplessly: "But Grandpa Sheng and his grandson knew that there were too many greedy people, even hundreds or even thousands from top to bottom, so they had to let He Shen dominate them and control them.

If everyone within the scope is killed, who can still govern the Qing Dynasty?"

"How did you manage the Qing Dynasty? How could there be so many greedy people!"

Kangxi was furious.

Qianlong hesitated to speak, as if he had been wronged, and looked at Kangxi eagerly.

At this time, Jiang Yi spoke: "Your Majesty, the large number of greedy people has laid the foundation for great disaster during your time."

"Is it any of my business?"

Kangxi couldn't believe it, how could everything be traced back to him?

Qianlong responded with a look as if he was asking for help.

Jiang Yi replied: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that in 1674, in order to reduce San Francisco and raise military pay, you openly sold 500 county magistrates at a price of 4,000 taels, setting a precedent for selling real power positions?

"

"At that time, only more than 200 people were admitted to each imperial examination, but the amount that could be sold was far greater than through formal channels. In addition, there were only more than 1,300 magistrates in the Qing Dynasty. You donated 500 in one go, and it was completely

They only value the amount of money but not the amount of knowledge, which results in many people who have no talent or knowledge to become county magistrates."

Jiang Yi analyzed it word by word for people of ancient and modern times: "Can those county magistrates find ways to get back things they spent so much money on from other places?"

"If it goes on for a long time, their descendants will also be affected by it, and the impact will not be limited to the current generation."

"Ouyang Yu of the Qing Dynasty once recorded in "Jianwen Suolu" that after the county donors came to office, they were like putting a flock of sheep in the mouth of a hungry tiger. Even if there are strong bows and poisonous arrows behind them, they will be devoured without any care!

'"

Kangxi disagreed: "Later, you are wrong!"

"Although I gave 500 places at that time, the original county magistrates were all filled by people. Those who donated had to wait for the seats to become available. After they were assigned, many people would not be able to wait for that day at all.

.”

"I gave it some consideration when making this decision."

Kangxi said confidently, thinking that he was not to blame for this matter.

The audience pricked up their ears and listened. They didn't expect that various events in history would be so full of exploration.

The emergence of Collection China made their exploration even more interesting.

At this time, the most common sentence that appeared in the barrage was: "Reading history makes people wise, and the ancients will not deceive me!"

"Indeed, some people have been waiting for more than sixty years, but they have not been able to wait until the day they become county magistrate."

As soon as this was said, many viewers laughed from ear to ear.

“Haha, I felt psychologically relieved while I was still waiting for the off-plan apartment!”

"Who is that dear friend? Can you please give me your name?"

"It's been more than sixty years, and I can pass the exam on my own!"

…

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction: "This is my intention. No one can have the patience to wait forever. They will also grow old and die."

"But not everyone buys it just for themselves----"

Jiang Yi retorted: "Some big businessmen even bought a county magistrate for their young sons, while some small businessmen joined forces to buy it. After becoming county magistrates, they made enough money and began to think of ways to donate step by step.

"

"They will always be able to survive better than the current magistrates, right?"

"This system has no obvious flaws in the short term, but many years later, the flaws have already appeared."

"Emperor Yongzheng was aware of the problems in this system. In the examination of more than 1,100 proctored students, more than 900 students failed. The students from Taixue turned out to be Bai Ding. How ironic?"

Kangxi's brows furrowed into an inverted figure, and his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud: "What did Yinzhen do next?"

"Emperor Yongzheng began to launch the Integrity Bank, hoping to gradually change this unhealthy trend and make the workplace more honest. It has received a lot of praise."

Kangxi breathed out, and then he understood why some people in later generations wanted Yongzheng to live a few more years.

If the people and the government were not destroyed, maybe the workplace and the people of the Qing Dynasty would really be better off?

Qianlong looked at Jiang Yi as if he were a savior. In fact, he knew this very well. He always felt that Kangxi and himself were the same, but due to the filial piety in his heart, it was inconvenient to say so.

Now, finally, someone is willing to say a few words for me!

However, Jiang Yike never planned this...
