When Lin Changxin left Zhu Youde's palace, he was hopping like a rabbit. He was completely safe.
After becoming an official of Daliang, you no longer have to worry about what will happen to you when Daliang destroys the Southern Tang Dynasty.
His family and relatives would all benefit. He never expected that the Emperor of Liang would suddenly give him an official position.
Although he was just an ordinary Daliang civil servant, this was a formal official position given by the Emperor of Daliang.
From now on, he will be an official of Daliang.
You can legally enjoy the official treatment of Daliang. More importantly, you can condescendingly show disdain for those officials who look down on you.
Is there anything more exciting than this?
Lin Changxin first went to Zhou Chaozong, and then he was under Zhou Chaozong's management.
The emperor treats himself very well.
Zhou Chaozong is an important minister of Daliang. Now he is serving as Zhou Chaozong's deputy. He has a very high starting point. He may not become an important minister of Daliang in the future. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
"The villain has met the grown-up!"
When he found Zhou Chaozong, without saying a word, Lin Changxin knelt down and kowtowed fiercely. "From now on, the villain will be the servant of the adults. I will definitely be loyal to your Majesty, and I will never let down your majesty's cultivation."
After speaking, Lin Changxin took out a stack of banknotes, placed them in front of Zhou Chaozong, and then stood aside, waiting for Zhou Chaozong's instructions.
hehe!
Zhou Chaozong didn't know whether he should laugh, but he couldn't.
Did the emperor really use this person?
Zhu Youde, the emperor, was really careless in employing people. How dare he use people like this, people with no integrity.
Zhou Chaozong really wanted to discuss with the emperor whether there should be a custom-made moral standard for the people employed in the dynasty. There are so many shameless people in Daliang officials. Will it affect the purity of Daliang civil servants in the future?
But when I think about it, the current Prime Minister is Zhou Fang!
Zhou Chaozong almost collapsed on the spot. Others didn't know how Zhou Fang climbed up. How could he still not know?
There is only one way for Zhou Fang to climb up, and that is to give women to the emperor.
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome."
Although he looked down on Lin Changxin, the emperor agreed, so he naturally couldn't refuse.
Lin Changxin nodded politely and glanced at the banknotes on the table. It was a pity that Zhou Chaozong confiscated them.
This was still different from what he thought. He originally thought that Zhou Chaozong did not accept money because he was not an official in Daliang.
Are there any officials who don’t get paid? What do officials who don’t get paid eat?
But the officials in Daliang really don't seem to care much about money.
Zhou Chaozong thought for a moment and said: "His Majesty ordered me to establish the Hangzhou Treasury Bond Exchange. I wonder if Mr. Lin knows about it?"
"Your Majesty said, let me help you!" Lin Changxin smiled, and then said modestly: "Everything is based on your wishes. Your Majesty is just an errand boy. If your Majesty is not familiar with the wealthy families of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I can do it."
help."
"Um?"
Zhou Chaozong hummed, and looking at Lin Changxin, he was speechless and had nowhere to vent.
Although it is very depressing, I have to do my job.
"What do you think of the wealthy families of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Changxin was beaming with joy, feeling that an opportunity had come: "Sir, you don't need to be too polite to the wealthy families of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I am planning an exchange. Do they dare to come and send money? Give them two a try."
"..."
"Don't worry, sir. The lower officials will naturally go to those wealthy families to negotiate. If they don't pay, they will be liquidated later."
Zhou Chaozong couldn't stand it anymore. It was obvious that he didn't want face and wanted to force himself.
"This was also the case when you were in the Southern Dynasties?"
Lin Changxin said quickly: "How dare you do this when I was in the Southern Dynasty? Isn't this all thanks to His Majesty? Your Majesty supports me... Sir, why should we be polite to the people of the Southern Dynasty? The Southern Dynasty is rubbish. I will give it to you."
It’s unreasonable for them not to cherish their opportunity to make money.”
Is this also a person?
Zhou Chaozong couldn't believe it, but he maintained his demeanor: "The wealth of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been accumulated for many years. The issuance of national bonds is a major matter for Your Majesty, so you must be careful."
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right, I must be careful and dig out every last piece of silver from the Southern Dynasty!"
It was simply impossible to communicate. Zhou Chaozong felt that his efforts in educating Lin Changxin had failed. This guy didn't regard the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty as human beings at all.
Zhou Chaozong had a very complicated feeling. There was really a lot of rubbish in Daliang's court, and it couldn't be swept away no matter what.
"Okay, go and do your work!"
"Yes, I will prepare for the exchange now!"
He was very discerning. Seeing that Zhou Chaozong was impatient, Lin Changxin turned around and left. As for the banknote, Zhou Chaozong of course accepted it and planned to use it as military expenses.
He really didn't care about a little money.
Zhou Chaozong handed the banknote given by Lin Changxin to He Qingfeng with an ugly face: "Put it in the account, you still have to pay a lot!"
"The Tang people are rich!" He Qingfeng laughed and registered it nonchalantly. Seeing Zhou Chaozong's bad expression, he laughed: "You are overthinking it again. If the Tang people have more money, wouldn't it be a good thing for our country?"
Zhou Chaozong whispered: "Your Majesty is so careless in employing people. If things continue like this, the court will be full of treacherous villains. How should a gentleman deal with himself?"
"The Prime Minister is your uncle!"
Zhou Chaozong said: "That's why I understand that my uncle is a villain."
He Qingfeng looked at Zhou Chaozong and his face twitched. He was so cruel that he even scolded his own relatives.
Who should be used? The root of the matter lies naturally with Zhu Youde. He Qingfeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows it well. Do you want to persuade His Majesty not to use these people?"
Zhou Chaozong nodded.
He Qingfeng felt that Zhou Chaozong was ill and you had only been an official for a few days, but when he thought about it, the emperor was really too casual in employing people. What would happen to the future administration of officials?
Zhou Chao Zongdao: "In order to please Your Majesty, Lin Changxin has no virtue and no conduct, and he is shameless. I very much doubt that Your Majesty has no intention of exchanging bonds for those wealthy families in the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Lao Zhu wants to have sex for nothing.
It's okay for Zhu Youde to have sex for free, but there is no difference between the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River and the wealthy families in the southeast. What if there is a rebellion?
It was enough that the imperial court had to suppress the rebellion again.
It is completely different from the practices of previous dynasties. The previous dynasties unified the world and were polite and appeasing to local powerful people.
When Daliang captured the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would still need the help of the local powerful people to rule. Without the powerful people, no one might listen to the orders of the court.
He Qingfeng and Zhou Chaozong are both smart people. From the emperor's use of Lin Changxin, it can be seen that the emperor intends to cheat on the wealthy families in Jiangnan.
He Qingfeng said: "I am not optimistic now. It is normal for Your Majesty to have other ideas."
"But what's the benefit of angering the Southern Tang Dynasty wealthy family?"
"It's just a matter of quelling the chaos later."
"Just?"
"Otherwise, money is more important than anything else right now," He Qingfeng said.
