[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary, the most welfare day. In addition to gift bags and school bags, this time, you must check the 515 red envelopes. There is no reason to not grab the red envelopes. Set the alarm clock~

Tang Yi looked at Han Dewang up and down, and saw that he was thin and dry, with his back bent, his chest was inwardly sunken, his face was covered in vegetables, his whole body was malnourished, and his chin was sticking out with a few yellow beards, and his official uniforms were all covered with patches. His miserable virtue was not as good as those of the slightly richer people.

"Han Dewang, you are also a court official at least. As for the virtue of this? Didn't you cry to me for poverty, right?"

thump!

Han Dewang knelt on the ground, grabbed Tang Yi's thigh, pointed at the sky and sweared, and said sadly: "Sir, if a lie, if the official said something false, it would be thunder to break me! The life of everyone is really hard. Since the past few years, I have often owed my salary. Even if I give it, I often broke it into treasure money. I feel that it is hard to wipe my butt. To be honest, my little family ate vegetarian dumplings for two years, and my three children have never seen any meat and fish for a year. They are skinny and bone-skinned, and I feel like I am being dug by a dog..."

As Han Dewang spoke, the others came over one after another, their eyes were red, and they complained to Tang Yi one after another.

The officials in the Zhan Shi Mansion are divided into two categories, one is like Tang Yi, who is just named as a transfer rank, including Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi, left concubine son, right concubine son, left yude and right virtue, left middle yuyun, right middle yuyun, etc.

All these official positions are Hanlin officials, and most of them have their own yamen, and they can only call the wu to the Zhanshi Mansion.

As for the rest, the chief clerk, the chief clerk, the official clerk, the regular clerk, and the number of clerks without positions. They were permanent officials and had no place to go, so they could only endure hard in the Zhanshi Mansion.

They have low positions and low power. They are slight and are not as good as farts when they speak. Whenever there is something unlucky, they suffer first. If there is a good thing, they cannot grab it. Just in line with the saying, don’t be able to be rich when you are in trouble, don’t be able to escape when you are in trouble. Everyone is full of bitterness.

Those who don’t have formal positions are okay. They can write and calculate, but they can earn some living expenses no matter how they go out to set up stalls. The most troublesome thing is those with official positions. From the seventh rank, eighth rank, and ninth rank, people of this type are also officials. Even if they can put down their airs, no one dares to use them.

Many people who live a worse life than Han Dewang were there, and wiped their tears and said, "If the court does not pay a salary, we will not care about whether we are shameless or not. Even if we are fighting and performing our skills, we will go to the stage to perform. Whoever gives money will work for him, and we won't be a tycoon official!"

"Yes, we won't do it anymore. The court is shameless anyway, so what are we afraid of!"

...

Everyone was in agitation, and Tang Yi frowned. He had no good opinions about the people in the Zhanshi Mansion, but after all, they were his subordinates. Besides, their rogue face was also forced by the court.

It seems that I should have made a comeback, but the Ministry of Personnel is under the jurisdiction of Wu Peng. Because of Zhao Zhenji's affairs, he offended Yan's party. I wonder if he can sell his face to him. If Wu Peng is not up to the point and breaks his face with him, can he win?

After Wu Shan got out of the way, someone wrote a letter saying that Wu Peng was the culprit of the imperial examination corruption case. Wu Shan had already retired as the chief examiner. Wu Peng still has the face to stay in the position of the Heavenly Officer, and should get out immediately!

These censors played a beautiful change of concepts. Wu Shan got out of the solar eclipse, not the imperial examination fraud case. But when he left, no one would talk to him, and all the dirty water was poured on him.

However, Jiajing did not follow the good deeds this time, but kept all the memorials and refused to send them.

Tang Yi also inquired about it. Yan Song protected Wu Peng in every way and begged Jiajing to beg for Jiajing. Perhaps he had cut down one Wushan. If Wu Peng was cut down again, it would be too partial and Jiajing was hesitant.

If you use your salary to mess with Wu Peng and get rid of him? Judging from Jiajing's attitude, there should be a chance.

But in this way, it is equivalent to going directly with the Yan Party. The last time I protected Zhao Zhenji was a dissatisfaction, and it was completely different from taking the initiative.

Moreover, Jiajing's attitude was unclear. Whether it was appropriate or not, Tang Yi suddenly fell into a dilemma...

Han Dewang took a peek at Tang Yi, and was puzzled when he saw the master changing his face and color. He had inquired about it. This Lord Tang was a favorite minister of the emperor, a famous golden boy, and a powerful man who turned stones into gold. If it were not for this, they would not have spent a lot of money to invite Tang Yi to dinner.

"Sir, are you not familiar with the people from the Ministry of Revenue?" Han Dewang asked in a low voice.

Tang Yi was stunned, "What is the Ministry of Revenue? Isn't the salary paid by the Ministry of Personnel?"

When he asked this, everyone present almost burst into tears. Judging from this person, he looked like someone who had been an official for several years, and he probably had never received his salary?

They really guessed it right. When Tang Yi was a local official, someone sent his salary directly, and he was a Beijing official, so he threw it to the housekeeper. He went to collect it when it expired, and it counted as much as it was. Anyway, the Tang family didn't care about that little money.

Han Dewang explained: "Sir, our salary was collected from the Ministry of Personnel, and then we went to the warehouse below the Ministry of Revenue to collect it. If we could find the Ministry of Revenue's help, it would be fine."

"Oh, so that's it, but the Ministry of Revenue seems to be inconvenient. Jia Yingchun seems to have some opinions about this official."

"Oh, my master, how can you find the doctor, Yuanwai Lang, even if you are the chief officer..." Han Dewang was shocked when he saw Tang Yi's face change. He finished speaking and spent money in vain. This guy is so famous, who knew that it was a silver-like gun tip, which is not useful!

Han Dewang didn't know that Tang Yi found it funny. It was obviously very simple and a small thing, but Tang Yi himself thought it complicated. Dozens of officials with a size of sesame and green beans, their salary is worth a few dollars!

It's just a sentence. It's just that no one was willing to stand up for them in the past.

"How much does the court owe you?"

Han Dewang hurriedly said, "Sir, it's almost half a year, so we don't have to come. Even if we give it three months, we will be content..."

"Needless to say, we all go home to prepare the carriage and wait at Guangjiku."

Tang Yi said it lightly, and everyone present was stunned.

"Don't you want your salary?" Tang Yi raised his octave.

These people look at me, I look at you, I think about you, ten thousand people think about you!

But they begged grandpa to sue their grandma, and if they don’t come, Tang Yi can do it with just one word? Besides, now is not the time to pay their salary. If they give it to them, what will happen to other yamen?

Tang Yi looked at the hesitant guys. He really wanted to give them a few mouths. Look at your virtues, think I am a vegetarian?

He said angrily: "Aren't you worried? Let Han Dewang follow me and go to the Ministry of Revenue, let him watch it with his own eyes and listen with his ears. There will be no mistakes!"

After saying that, Tang Yi strode outside, and the others quickly pushed Han Dewang. Don’t stand there, follow.

Han Dewang rolled and crawled, following Tang Yi.

When he got outside, he got on the carriage and went directly to the Ministry of Revenue. Tang Yi asked someone to hand over the famous post. Not long after, an official in blue robe ran out from inside, with a white squid embroidered on his chest. A fifth-rank official.

When he saw Tang Yi, he hurried over: "Xingzhi, if you have anything, just pay attention to a note. Do you still need to come in person?"

The person who came was Yin Shidan and Zhang Juzheng's Jinshi. After ten years of experience in the Hanlin Academy, he was promoted to the Ministry of Revenue. For Hanlin officials, Yin Shidan had made his first move. After becoming a doctor, the opportunity came, and he could even be directly promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat. In most cases, he would be promoted to Xiaojiuqing and become a real power figure.

When Tang Shen participated in the imperial examination, Yin Shidan helped to provide tutoring and the two sides formed a fate.

Later, Tang Yi's transportation trip expanded his voice in Shandong and found the Yin family. Over the years, the Yin family has made a fortune with the support of transportation trips. In addition to business transactions, Yin Shidan is also a disciple of Xinxue. More than a year ago, he officially joined the Yangming Society.

In short, these two people are both partners, comrades, and friends. Yin Shidan never expected that the young man who was able to reach his current position seven or eight years later was already the fourth rank, and he was even higher than himself!

Yin Shidan was not jealous at all, but was very happy.

"It's a mess in the yamen. Let's find a restaurant and talk while eating."

Tang Yi nodded with a smile, Yin Shidan led the way and found a Shandong restaurant. Yin Shidan ordered more than a dozen dishes, each dish was full of color, fragrance and taste. Poor Han Dewang had never seen any dish. Tang Yi and Yin Shidan just took a few bites and put down their chopsticks.

Han Dewang was still not satisfied, so he wanted to put down his chopsticks. Tang Yi smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want, don't care about us."

"Ah? OK, OK!"

Han Dewang was so happy that he lowered his head. After a while, his cheeks bulged, like a hamster, so funny.

"Brother, is the Ministry of Revenue busy?" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Busy, don't mention being too busy!" Yin Shidan said: "There are many people asking for money these days, and they are not small."

Han Dewang was shocked when he heard this. Could it be a bad thing? He has heard too many such excuses and will not have to be perfunctory!

But even if you are perfunctory and have a free meal, you can still make a profit.

Tang Yi said in confusion: "The Ministry of Revenue has money?"

"Well, the salt and silver from Huai and Zhejiang are here, and it's more than 1.3 million taels!"

"Wow, salt tax!" Tang Yi suddenly felt spirited. As we all know, salt has been a profit-making industry for all generations.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the annual salt tax was more than 10 million taels. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were able to make great efforts because of sufficient tax support.

However, the salt tax was reduced over the years. By the 36th year of Jiajing, it was even less than 2 million taels. In the 37th year of Jiajing, it fell to a pitiful one.5 million taels.

It was unbearable, and Jiajing was even more furious and scolded Yan Song. Yan Song immediately sent people south. In more than a year, he sent two batches of silver to the Ministry of Revenue. The first batch was 1.5 million taels, and the second batch was equivalent to an increase, with more than 1.3 million taels in one breath.

"It's really a good skill! I wonder who has consigned so much money?" Tang Yi asked curiously.

"Who else can it be? Yan Maoqing, Yan Song gave Yan Maoqing the two Huai, Liangzhe, Changlu, and Hedong. He was in charge of salt affairs, unprecedented!" Yin Shidan lowered his voice and said in Tang Yi's ear: "As far as I know, the big head was greedy for Yan Maoqing and the others, and the court only saw the little head."
