"Pa!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and stood up. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
His entire face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Empress Ma and the others knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was really going to kill them this time!
If Meng Yin could not provide an explanation for this matter.
He was about to lose his life…
Meng Yin was also so frightened that his body trembled. He stood up from his chair and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a strange expression.
"Old Master, why are you so angry?”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at him with a trembling finger and asked coldly,"
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"The current emperor hates corruption the most, and you still dare to sell your official position? I'll behead you and the people above you!”
"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will chop off your head?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said murderously.
Meng Yin was also stunned by his aura for a moment. He quickly reacted and returned to his calm appearance just now.
He spread his hands.
"I'm afraid," he admitted straightforwardly,"who isn't afraid of beheading?"”
"However, everything I did was in accordance with the rules.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was burning with anger, was stunned.
He did not expect Meng Yin to say such words.
He was extremely curious.
"What do you mean?"
Meng Yin put away the silver notes and gave the resume that Liu Qin had given him to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Take a look for yourself."
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and opened the resume.
The other princes also came over to take a look.
"Personal resume…"
"Name Liu Qin, age 20, native of Pei County."
"Official experience…"
"I used to be a bookkeeper in my own cloth shop for two years, so I have ample management experience. She often went out with her father to manage the family business.”
"Job target…Xiao County Magistrate."
"Additional information…He dreamed of becoming the county magistrate of Xiao County, benefiting the people, driving the economic development of Xiao County, creating a new Xiao County, and working hard to become the second Pei County.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were stunned.
Suddenly, some documents were handed over. At a glance, they were documents that could prove the authenticity of the resume.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the pile of documents and studied them carefully.
A new idea appeared in his mind.
This resume was not bad.
On it was written what a person had done, what he was suitable for, and what he wanted to do.
Wasn't it better than the memorials he saw every day, which were long and undivided?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the resume could be improved, and then the content of the ministers 'memorials could be set in a similar format.
In this way.
In the future, he would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort when he marked the memorials!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
However…
He looked at Meng Yin's face again and felt a little displeased in his heart.
Meng Yin recommended Liu Qin to be the county magistrate of Xiao County. The other party had such a beautiful resume and was indeed qualified to be the county magistrate of Xiao County.
But Meng Yin had accepted thirty thousand silver from Liu Qin.
The nature was completely different.
Meng Yin went from recommending capable people to being corrupt and accepting bribes!
However…
The current Zhu Yuanzhang already had some understanding of Meng Yin.
He was also much calmer than before.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pile of documents and placed his hands behind his back.
He asked Meng Yin again.
"Even if this resume looks good, what if he's deliberately lying to you?”
"How do you know that when that person takes office, he won't be a corrupt official?”
"His family is a businessman and an official. What if officials and businessmen collude?”
When Meng Yin heard this, he shook his head and said,""No, Liu Qin is a person who knows his limits.”
"When he wanted to buy an official position, I told him some things to take note of.”
As he spoke.
Meng Yin suddenly put on an indifferent look again.
"Besides, I can't send people to keep an eye on him day and night.”
"If he does something big, someone will take care of him.”
Meng Yin held the thirty thousand silver notes in his hand and chuckled.
"This official has always been clear with money and goods."
"Liu Qin paid the money, and I bought an official position for him. What does the rest of the matter have to do with me?”
"So many people have asked me to do things for them. If I were to be in charge of after-sales, wouldn't I be exhausted?”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened in a daze.
He added another word to his evaluation of Meng Yin.
Cunning!
Fortunately, such a person did things that benefited the people. If he was only evil and greedy, Pei County would be in a mess.
However…
Zhu Yuanzhang was still wary of corrupt officials.
"It's easy for you to say that.”
"But if the other party is really a corrupt official and doesn't work for the people, won't you harm the people of a county by doing this?”
Meng Yin's face revealed a trace of impatience.
Why does this old man have so many questions?
It was already very difficult for her to explain so much to him.
Was it not over yet?
Meng Yin scolded impatiently,"You're a corrupt official all day long."”
"Then let me ask you!"
"How many honest officials have existed in China since ancient times? How many corrupt officials are there?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He was actually stumped by the other party's question.
How could he count the number of corrupt officials he had killed?
Meng Yin continued,"The corrupt officials in the world are like the endless waves of the river.”
Zhu Yuanzhang also tacitly agreed.
Of course, he knew that since ancient times, there had been more corrupt officials in every dynasty.
It was also because he became the emperor and vigorously punished corrupt officials.
Even so.
That was also killing batches after batches.
Therefore, he formulated all kinds of torture later.
He hoped that by doing so, he could put an end to the other officials 'greed.
At this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Meng Yin say another sentence.
"But in the past dynasties, which emperor didn't rely on corrupt officials to do things? It's also very convenient to use?"
Meng Yin patted his shoulder and said lightly,""The current emperor has walked a narrow path.”
"You don't even understand this principle.”
Meng Yin revealed a regretful expression and shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned once again.
That's right.
Since ancient times, nine out of ten emperors put corrupt officials in an important position.
Why?
Wasn't it because the corrupt officials had something on him?
It was more like an exchange of interests between the two.
Corrupted officials gain money and power.
The emperor had won the loyalty of the corrupt officials.
The honest and upright officials were different. They would be even more scrupulous in their duties. As long as they felt that the emperor had done something wrong, they would directly rebuke him.
The key was that the honest officials had used the slogan of 'honest advice is unpleasant to the ear'. The emperor was angry but did not dare to make a move on them. Otherwise, it would chill the hearts of all the officials.
The Emperor was in a bad mood the entire day.
This way…
Corrupted officials were much easier to use. Anyone who dared to refuse the emperor's orders could be dealt with directly.
