Chapter 503 Relief to the Capital Five(2/2)
In order to avoid misunderstandings from the court officials, Chongzhen also laughed and said: "Recently, I have obtained a surprise income from the inner treasury, so I specially allocated it to the Ministry of Revenue. All the ministers and officials need to understand my intentions and be loyal to the king's affairs."
"I am grateful to Lord Long's kindness."
In the court, many ministers already understood the reason why Liu Ximing was promoted, and their eyes looked at Liu Ximing were very complicated.
There are many people here who can't even figure out how hard there are any ministers willing to give the money to the royal family.
Many ministers who have always been famous in the Qing Dynasty, such as Fang Yuegong and others, were immediately impressed by Liu Ximing.
With the efforts to stabilize prices during these days, Liu Ximing not only made nearly four million taels of silver, but also made a favor among the people in the court, and for a moment it was in full swing.
What is even more rare is that Liu Ximing gave money to the emperor by cheating the nobles, which not only did not arouse the disgust of the civil servant group, but also won the different eyes of the big bosses such as Kong Zhenyun.
Comrade Lao Liu is clear about the people he fears most in the officialdom, not those who are talented, but those who break the rules of the officialdom.
For example, Han Yiliang, the censor in the early years of Chongzhen, had to put the well-known corruption problem on the table. After all, of course, Han Yiliang is the real corruption person.
If Liu Xi ordered his own money to donate to the court, it would be equivalent to directly slapping the civil servant group in the face, which would definitely cause public anger.
What, you are a loyal minister, what should anyone do?
However, the nobles could not pee with civil servants. Liu Ximing used this trick, which was equivalent to clearing the civil servant group in front of Chongzhen, who had always been suspicious.
It was equivalent to saying to Chongzhen that I saw it, the money in the world is not with our officials and gentry, but with the nobles.
This made the officials dislike how they could not be happy, not to mention that the money was 300,000 taels used to pay the officials' wages.
If Liu Ximing hadn't looked like he was unwilling to form a clique on the surface, he would have been afraid that people who wanted to hold on to him would have been in a constant stream.
