The people who came to collect the rice were all trash fish. Hong Jinglai knew that as long as the rice was in their hands, there would be no trouble.

Probably to give Pu Zongqing face, and because the clerks in Xuanhui Hall knew that Changping Qianzheng would be beaten to death if he could not pay his salary. So Pu Zongqing promised 10,000 shi of new rice, and finally gave Hong Jinglai 9,000 shi, old and new.

Half, only 10% disappeared.

Hong Jinglai thought about it, and finally did not ask for new rice. He asked the treasurer to replace all the rice with old rice. This way, he could get more. After all, the old rice was the same. Hong Jinglai did not follow the example of his predecessor and mixed them with sand. It was already a great honor. His predecessor also

Someone has moldy rice.

As for the salary rice cloth of the eunuchs, it is not under the control of Hong Jing. Neishan Temple and Yiyingku, which are directly under the Hucao, are responsible for distributing it. In the eyes of ordinary people, the two classes are already masters.

But in the eyes of the chief eunuch of the Jinghua noble clan?

hehe!

In this country, except for the Beijing gentry, they probably don't care about anyone else. In their eyes, those rural officials from the Eighth Route Army are no better than ordinary people, so they insist on distinguishing them.

If you are a lower class person, you can at best be considered an inferior person.

As for the common people further down, I'm sorry, the words are too ugly, so we won't talk about them. In the eyes of the imperial eunuchs of Beijing, they are probably not more valuable and important than the private slaves and maids at home.

So Hong Jinglai has the same look on the low-level officials, scholars, and soldiers who are receiving their salaries. They may not be grateful to you, a Qianzheng from the Fengshan Hong family in Beijing, and Hong Jinglai, a Changping Qianzheng, has no need to please these people.

people.

To put it bluntly, the class divisions are very obvious!

The seeds of opposition have been planted a long time ago, but the point of outbreak has not yet arrived!

The first batch of people who rushed in to collect the goods had already finished talking to the kuzhi who distributed them, and they refused to give up the amount of liters or cents. Although the kuzhi also looked down on these poor people, no matter how poor they were, they were still two-class masters.

If Ku Zhi dies, the two squads will not necessarily lose their lives.

Therefore, the incident of Que Jin Shaoliang has not happened yet. Perhaps it is also due to the presence of Hong Jinglai or two of Hong Jinglai's family members who seemed to be really capable of killing people.

The person who received the rice squeezed out of the crowd and immediately opened the straw bag containing the rice. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and inserted it into the depth of the rice bag. In the past, officials would even put 20% rice in the straw bag.

Sand and try to make a profit from it.

But this time Hong Jinglai didn't do anything except replacing it with old rice. Naturally, it was impossible for them to take out any sand from the rice bag.

Those who had not received one and were still queuing up gathered around to look at the rice bags of those who had received them. They were actually full of rice, clean and refreshing. Everyone was a little surprised and looked at Hong Jinglai who was standing in front of the warehouse for no reason.

"Is it really all rice?"

"It's surprising!"

"That's how it should be, he knows what's going on!"

Hong Jinglai certainly couldn't hear what the group of people whispering in the periphery said, but Hong Jinglai had already known that if he got his salary this month, he would be able to have a stable month.

No one would gather to Hanyang Mansion or Xingcao to play drums, and the Confucian scholars who had eaten enough would not pull up a straw mat and kneel outside the gate of Changgyeonggung Palace to do something that would disgust the ruling Kim Jo-soon.

……………………

"Have you received your salary today?"

"Shouldn't this be asked to the household judge?"

"Although it's not the first day of the new year, the debt has been accumulated for several months and it's time to let it go."

In the official room of the Uijeongbu government, seven or eight eunuchs were sitting respectively. Since most of the lower-level officials in the Uijeongbu government, except for a few people who stayed behind, the people who actually handled affairs had gone to collect their salaries.

I can't copy official documents by myself, so I naturally have some free time.

"A few days ago, the original Xiao Hong was appointed as Changping Qianzheng, and he was very diligent in his work." Pu Zongqing just gave the rice to Hong Jinglai, but he didn't expect that Hong Jinglai actually distributed it immediately.

"Xiaohong checked for details? Didn't he find a vacancy and return to his hometown?" Zheng Rihuan put down the tea cup.

Several big guys from the secluded faction looked at Min Tinghye and Jin Zuchun. Although Hong Jinglai was a small role, everyone here knew that this was the nephew of Concubine Hong of Huiqing Palace and the iron-clad cousin Fang Xiaodi.

"Shangguo sent out Longchuan floating people before, and Xiao Hong found a man to pick them up." Min Tinghe replied seemingly casually.

"It's the right person." Jin Dachun remembered this because he nodded to it in the first place.

"Unexpectedly, Chang Ping Qianzheng was chosen?" Zheng Rihuan knew that this official was really not a human being, so how could he put him there.

Hong Jinglai took the lead in impeaching Quan Yu. Who here will forget that the dignified and upright second-rank Zhizhongfu official died in the prison of Yijin Mansion without any explanation. If Hong Jinglai had not returned to his hometown after opening a vacancy, he would have been secluded.

Pai found an excuse to be exiled thousands of miles away and went to Jeju Island to eat seaweed soup.

Logically speaking, Hong Jinglai is also a meritorious official to his relatives. Even if he does not choose a beautiful official, how can he let Chang Pingqian take the official position? This is not to put Hong Jinglai to death!

"You may not believe it, but Xiaohong asked for it himself." Jin Zuchun specifically said to Jin Dachun.

"oh?"

Even Jin Dachun, who had been through strong winds and waves, did not understand the connection for a while, and volunteered to do such a hard job. What was the purpose? This job was neither famous nor profitable.

"Greetings to all the supervisors!" A civil servant outside the door probably went to line up early and had already returned from collecting the items.

I suddenly looked at the room full of bosses. Although I was panicking, I still saluted the bosses according to the rules, and then I was ready to sit down and continue copying and writing.

"Come here, I have something to ask you!" Jin Dachun probably thought of something.

The civil servant immediately stood up, ran over bravely, and saluted again.

"I wonder what the chief supervisor has to say?"

"Bring the Lumi you brought to me and show it to me. I want the whole bag!" Jin Dachun specifically ordered to bring them all.

"No need." The civil servant responded confusedly.

Although the big guys present were unmoved on the surface, they all calmed down their thoughts, stopped chatting and drank tea, and waited for the official to bring Lumi for inspection.

The whole rice bag is filled with rice and nothing else!

"Step back!" Jin Dachun nodded.

Slowly, many officials and soldiers from the government came back, and Jin Dal-chun stopped a few more people, including lower-ranking officials and ministers, as well as the sentry commander guarding the gate.

Regardless of rank, civil or military status, it’s all about rice.

"Feng Gao has chosen a man of virtue and talent..." Jin Dachun finally sighed.

"It's not easy to do things with sincerity!" Pu Zongqing also didn't expect that Hong Jinglai was really not greedy at all and paid out all the money.

"Hahahahaha, your ears and mine are clean!"

"Hahahahaha, exactly!"
Chapter completed!
