"Sell... sell the official position?"
In the backyard, everyone was shocked when they learned Yun Zheng’s thoughts.
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment. The way he talked about to make money quickly was to sell official positions?
no……
What is he thinking!
After all, he is the governor of Shuobei!
This Shuobei is his own territory.
How could he think of selling official positions?
Not to mention that they are not crazy about poverty yet, even if they are really crazy about poverty, they can't do this!
Isn't he destroying his own foundation?
...
...
"What a big deal!"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly, "Look at you guys!"
"Is this a small matter?" Mrs. Shen's brows were almost twisted together, "You, the governor of Shuobei, are selling official positions openly. Do you want to make Shuobei a mess? Son-in-law, you can't be so confused!"
As Mrs. Shen spoke, several people followed suit and began to persuade her.
"Your Majesty, this is something you really can't do!"
"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable..."
"Your Highness, if you are short of money, I will help you earn it. I, Zhang Xu, know the disadvantages of selling official positions. How can Your Highness not see it clearly? So, I will take out one million taels of silver to help Your Highness in an emergency..."
Zhang Xu was even more righteous and took out all his family assets.
One million taels of silver, this is basically Zhang Xu's limit.
Even though Zhang Xu followed Yun Zheng to set up many workshops, the amount of money he saved was really not that much.
In fact, many things were paid for by Zhang Xu himself.
However, Zhang Xu did not settle these accounts with Yun Zheng.
He knew in his heart that he could earn so much money only thanks to Yun Zheng's support.
Moreover, Yun Zheng did not use the money to squander, but basically used it for fighting wars.
"Don't worry yet."
Ye Zi raised her hand to stop the others, "Listen to what His Highness has to say first. His Highness should have his own considerations."
Ye Zi didn't believe that Yun Zheng would do such a stupid thing.
Yun Zheng must have other intentions in doing this.
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then he spoke again: "We sell official positions, but not everyone can buy them! Let's raise the threshold so that those powerful families and clans inside the Great Wall can buy them! Of course, the most important thing is to give Lao San and his men the opportunity to plant spies in Shuobei..."
He has been selling official positions on a large scale. Wouldn't the third prince, the prince, take the opportunity to place some people here?
They only need to know clearly who bought their position and who did not.
At that time, those who buy official positions will be strictly screened.
Use it however you should!
As long as someone pays a high price, he can be appointed as the Left Wise King or the Right Wise King!
Of course, Yun Zheng and the others had to pretend that they didn't know all this, and this matter should be left to Zhang Xu.
Let Zhang Xu use his relationship with Yun Zheng to sell official positions.
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people couldn't help but look at each other.
Is this possible?
He also wants others to spend money to buy official positions to do things for him?
"Others spend a lot of money to buy an official position, so they must want to make money back!"
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng with a smile on her face, "Who buys an official position to do their job seriously?"
"That depends on who it is."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled. "If he just wanted to embezzle, I could find a random excuse to send him to mine! Otherwise, I could send him to manage the Beihuan people who are about to migrate here."
"You're being mean, aren't you?"
Ye Zi laughed dumbly, "Let those people offend Beihuan's people, and then you can kill them and win over the people of Beihuan?"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then winked at Ye Zi.
Otherwise, how can you say that she is your good wife?
As soon as she said it, she understood what she meant.
After exchanging glances with Ye Zi, Yun Zheng continued, "If he is the Third Brother's man, a talented person, let him do some real work! If you want to do something, you have to gain my trust first, right? If he is not talented, throw him to manage Beihuan!"
"this……"
Ye Zi was speechless.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.
Anyway, it was Zhang Xu who sold the official position.
Yun Zheng was completely "kept in the dark". The person who wanted to embezzle money was discovered. Even if Yun Zheng executed him after "discovering it", others would have no way to say anything.
If you send him to mine, you might even get a reputation for being kind.
As for those spies, if they want to gain Yun Zheng's trust, they must try their best to perform well at the beginning.
By that time, when they have been used up and the talents needed by Shuobei have been discovered, we can deal with those people as we please.
If he could persuade those people to rebel, Yun Li would basically be spending his own money to send capable officials to Yun Zheng.
As long as this matter is handled well, it seems that there will be no loss.
There were many emperors in the past dynasties who used treacherous ministers and then discarded them after they had served their purpose.
"If that's the case, I have nothing to worry about."
Madam Shen smiled and said, "However, we have to keep a close eye on these people. Shuobei has just been settled, so we must not let any trouble arise."
"That's for sure." Yun Zheng nodded and smiled.
"Your Highness, if this is done, I will become a traitor..."
Zhang Xu looked at Yun Zheng bitterly.
"It's enough for us to know that you are a loyal subject."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I plan to appoint you as the Governor of Shuobei and the Procurement Envoy. I'll give you a title first, and then we just need to cooperate and continue this drama."
"this……"
Zhang Xu was a little confused and asked in astonishment: "Your Highness, am I considered the Minister of Revenue?"
"That doesn't count!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "If I give you a tax collector, it should be almost equivalent to the Minister of Revenue. Otherwise, I will give you a concurrent tax collector position?"
“No, no!”
Zhang Xu shook his head repeatedly, "My current title is intimidating enough. If you really ask me to do the job of a tax collector one day, I will be exhausted to death..."
"Just bluff them!" Yun Zheng laughed, "You can bluff them however you want!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Xu felt bitter in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, I told you about that thing before, you see..."
"Call the people over here!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "However, I'll be frank with you. I'm not afraid of anyone with ability, no matter how high his position is!"
"If he is just an embroidered pillow, even if I give you face, I can only assign him a sinecure!"
"Of course, if he is willing to learn, as long as he can achieve success and as long as he can shoulder the responsibility, I will definitely employ him!"
"But tell him that if he wants to come here to commit corruption and abuse of power, it's better not to come. Otherwise, I don't mind having one more miner..."
Zhang Xu has helped him so much, so he must give Zhang Xu this little face.
Zhang Xu had already made a big promise to others, and he couldn't offend Zhang Xu.
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Xu nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely convey your original words!"
Afterwards, Yun Zheng briefly chatted with a few people for a while and explained some details.
Well, I need to train more spies later.
We also need to set up a special supervisory agency.
Corruption and abuse of power have never been eradicated throughout history, and we can only investigate and punish them as much as possible.
But who will be the supervisory commissioner? I need to think carefully about it...
