Chapter 936 When the water is clear, there will be no fish

The Ministry of Personnel was very efficient. After arranging the "auction" matters, it worked together with the Ministry of Revenue to auction the twenty positions that could be "donated" for a high price of 400,000 taels of silver.

You won’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked. A seemingly idle official position is actually worth an average of 20,000 taels.

Among them, four places were bought at high prices by merchants in Beijing, and the remaining sixteen were taken by officials in Beijing.

Emperor Ping Zhao looked at the list and the prices, sneered twice, threw the list back on the dragon table, and said to himself: "When donating money, everyone complained that they were poor, but when it comes to buying an official position, everyone has a lot of money!"

The two officials who came to report the matter dared not even breathe when they heard this. This matter had nothing to do with them!

Emperor Ping Zhao's anger was not directed at the two of them, but he also understood the truth that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. However, the reality is still hard to accept!

However, with 400,000 taels of silver in his account and a probation period, he still had something in his hands, which made him feel a little relieved.

"You all go down."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

As soon as they left, Emperor Ping Zhao asked Yan Rong to summon Pei Jun into the palace.

Since the death of the previous emperor, Pei Jun has not been summoned by the new emperor. He was surprised, but more of a fear.

However, no amount of panic could suppress the worries, as the number of refugees outside Kyoto was increasing day by day.

Recently, a porridge stall has been added. People work there twelve hours a day, cooking porridge, steaming coarse grain buns or steamed corn bread. This has relieved the pressure of the government's porridge distribution.

otherwise......

Pei Jun also knew that the new emperor had ordered the Ministry of Personnel to sell official positions. Although it had not been widely spread in Kyoto, they all knew about it.

If he had enough money in his own pocket, he would have wanted to join in the fun and donate an official position to the unfilial son to show off.

But he never thought that he was summoned to the palace just for this matter.

No, it should be related to this matter.

Seeing that Pei Jun did not respond for a long time, Yan Rong hurriedly reminded him quietly: "Master Pei, did you hear what the emperor said?"

Pei Jun heard it clearly, but should Shuntian Prefecture be held responsible for this matter?

"His Majesty."

Pei Jun knelt down, kowtowed, and quickly confirmed: "This matter is of great importance. I am afraid that I cannot handle this task alone. Four hundred thousand taels of silver..."

Want to eat fart!

Emperor Ping Zhao was reluctant to swear, so seeing that he had misunderstood, he corrected him, "I told you to first send people to register the situation of these refugees, then set up checkpoints, distribute silver and grain, and then send people to escort them out of Beijing."

We have to do it step by step, slowly, but we can't delay any further.

It was very cold in Kyoto in October. If these people did not return home early and the government's relief was insufficient, they would probably freeze to death in the ice and snow.

"Yes, I am stupid."

Pei Jun wiped his cold sweat and said quickly: "I will do it immediately."

"Go."

As soon as Pei Jun left, Emperor Ping Zhao shook his head helplessly again.

Yan Rong saw this, observed his expression, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what did Lord Pei say that was not good?"

"It's good, but a little too cautious."

Emperor Ping Zhao shook his head and asked someone to change his tea. After taking a sip, he put down the tea bowl and looked at Yan Rong and asked, "Has there been no victory report from Yuzhou Prefecture?"

Why are you suddenly asking about Yuzhou Prefecture again?

Yan Rong was puzzled, but still said, "Your Majesty, not yet."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ping Zhao grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it to pieces, frightening Yan Rong and others so much that they fell to their knees on the ground.
