It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 64 Donkeys are cheap but horses are expensive (please collect and read more!)
Jia Wuji saluted first, then bowed his hands and said:
"Copied out more than a thousand servants and maidservants from each family, with huge assets of hundreds of millions, and several utensils such as rhinoceros horn, ivory, beads, jade, gold, silver, and amber."

"In addition, each family also lent a lot of money to the people, and the interest received can be compared with that of the king."

hiss.
It is indeed richer than the imperial court, and the big butchers can really get rich. The tradition of the Han Dynasty really cannot be lost.

Forget about fixed assets such as slaves, gold and silver, land, and mansions, and still "receive interest". This is usury!

"How did you deal with it?"

"All the four clans were beheaded in the market, and the rest of the assets were confiscated in the palace for His Majesty's disposal."

The old man was also smart, so he didn't report the specific number, but withheld all of them and let the emperor deal with them first.

In this way, there is much more room for manipulation.

The emperor wants to report more, so as to add some charges to the four families, so report more.

If the emperor wants to report less and add a little money to the private treasury, then report less.

It is really difficult for the courtiers to say anything about such a flexible and flexible house raid.

Liu Ke looked Jia Wuji up and down, but he seemed somewhat dissatisfied:
"Just beheading? How did Yu Wenzan handle it?"

Jia Wuji lowered his head and hurriedly replied:

"Yu Wenzan is afraid of pain, so I ordered someone to kill him late."

Liu Ke neither approved nor contradicted, but asked:
"Do the people complain?"

Jia Wuji shook his head and said:

"These people don't know what is right and wrong. As long as the person killed is higher than them, richer than them, richer than them, they are secretly happy."

They almost want to thank the person who came up with such an idea, so that they will see a half-dead man tied to the car, making their eyes dazzle; even if they are not the executioner, it is almost the same.

Liu Ke was noncommittal, and asked again: "The list I gave you before, those people on it, have you dealt with it?"

"It has been dealt with, but some of the offenders have adults in their families as guarantors, so I made my own decision and arrested them together. Now they are being locked up in prison. If there is anything wrong, please punish them."

"Good job."

But Jia Wuji can't be allowed to continue in the follow-up. How many eyes are staring at the old guy? If he can't be sure, which aristocratic family member will directly give him justice from heaven.

Liu Ke thought of He Kun, and asked:
"Where's the chubby Beipu Sheriff I sent back?"

Jia Wuji's old face rarely showed a look of irony:
"General Dian dug a hole and planted it with radishes."

"A few days?"

"It's been four or five days."

"It's been four or five days and it still hasn't germinated."

Liu Ke took Jia Wuji to Dian Chu's courtyard.

In addition to North Korea, Chinese and Wu, which courtyard is not where flowers, plants and trees are scattered, ponds, green willows, small bridges and flowing water, a peaceful scene.

There is a field of radishes planted in Dian Chu's yard.

In the radish pit in the middle, a person was planted.

Looking at He Kun's expressionless face, Liu Ke couldn't bear it:

"Pull him out."

Dian Chu listened to the order, tugged a little, and then lifted He Kun's belt, just like a dry land plucking green onions, the movement was quite silky.

Liu Ke took another look at He Kun's attribute panel.

【Name: He Kun (Sergeant Sergeant)】

【Age: 34】

【Command: 44; Force: 46; Wisdom: 82; Administration: 92】

[Characteristics: greedy for money, management]

The orthodox value is full, and the specific effect of the characteristics cannot be seen.

However, according to Liu Ke's guess, it should be a buff, which is equivalent to a more refined classification.

Just like a person with a 90 intellect, he can often display a 92 intellect in what he is good at.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Just as He Kun was pulled out, his upper body was still white and fat, and he wasn't starved much. Except for some dirt on his lower body, he couldn't tell what happened to him.

Liu Ke looked at Dian Chu and nodded slightly. He looked like a tough guy, but he actually knew how to measure.

People like He Kun didn't make too many mistakes. They didn't voluntarily surrender and offer the city, but they only voted when they lost the battle.

This is normal, and we can't ask everyone to fight for righteousness. Even Yu Jin voted, let alone He Kun.

That is to say, when I was in charge of local government before, because of petty problems such as greed for money, I couldn't deal with Dian Chu's guts. It was enough to wear small shoes for my subordinates, beat them, and brush up Dian Chu's favor by the way.

So Liu Ke said:
"He Qing's family, I intend to reuse you."

At this time, He Kun was still a little unsuited to life on the ground, and was in a daze:

"The minister must do his best!"

Liu Ke stared into He Kun's eyes and said:
"But before that, I want to test you."

"This is Jia Wuji, Zhijinwu. When he raided the rebellious family, he arrested many people from the family."

"There are many high-ranking and powerful people among them. In your opinion, how should we deal with them?"

He Kun's heart skipped a beat, he didn't want to talk nonsense, he said cautiously:

"Punish him a little bit, and then let him go home."

This is a more secure proposal.

If everyone is arrested, it is natural to punish them a little bit. A small punishment can not only show the prestige of the court, but also beat the family and the big family, so as not to make the relationship between the two parties too tense.

Liu Ke said: "Punishment? Why do you want to punish? How can these delicate-skinned and tender-skinned people from aristocratic families be able to withstand small punishments?"

He Kun was puzzled: "Then just let it go home?"

In fact, this was also his idea. If he could really make the decision, he would choose to directly throw the blame on Jia Wuji, and let all of them go without punishing one.

But Jia Wuji is standing here, isn't it too chilling to do so in person?

Liu Ke squeezed his thumb and index finger together, and then unfolded:

"The layout is open, and I have entered the prison. If I want to get out of my body, why don't I spend some money to manage it?"

"A young man, calculated according to the price of a donkey, five pennies."

"Over [-] years old, it is a middle-grade donkey, and it is worth ten coins."

"Over fifty, it is a top-grade donkey, and it costs fifteen coins."

"If it's over sixty years old, it's a big deal. It's a godly donkey that travels three hundred miles a day and gets twenty pennies."

A hint of greed flashed in He Kun's eyes.

The price of silk is about 300 Wen per head, corn is 200 Wen per stone, and linen is 200 Wen per end. This is not a small profit!
Good job!
But he took a look at Jia Wuji where the old god was present, and told him rationally that he couldn't do this:

"These people are involved in the crime of treason. If they can be pardoned with gold and silver, what is the prestige of the court and what is the majesty of His Majesty?"

Liu Ke looked puzzled, his eyes blank:

"The person you let go of He Qing's family without permission, what does it have to do with the court? What does it have to do with Zhen?"

Sweat oozes from He Kun's round face, it's fine to ask him to do things for the court, but he can't do the job of taking the blame!
Not only does he have to bear the infamy, but he also has to fight against the family behind these people, how can he handle it?
He is not the kind of Jia Wuji who eats reunion dinners alone, and he has such a big family!
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Comparing scholars with donkeys is not insulting scholars. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ke was not in a hurry, and earnestly and kindly said:

"I take [-]%, and the remaining [-]%, you can handle it yourself."

He Kun's breathing became heavier, and his fingers were trembling unconsciously. While calming down, he said:

"What I mean is that donkeys are cheap and horses are expensive, and they should be set at the price of horses, so that they are in line with the status of the aristocratic family."

"A young man, calculated according to the price of a horse, is ten guan."

"Forty and above, it is a middle-grade horse, 25 guan."

"Over fifty, it is a top-grade horse, sixty guan.

"This is more than [-] years old, it can be called a hard-earned horse, and it must be worth a hundred."

"In this way, it will not be regarded as humiliating the nobles of the famous family."

Liu Ke's eyes were erratic:

"I only know that He Qing's family has made great contributions to Beipu County, and he was named the capital of Jingfu, and he is the deputy in charge of Jinwu."

Jia Wuji, who came from a poor family, was in charge of beheading people to gain prestige, and He Kun, who was from a noble family, was in charge of scooping up people and making money, which perfectly complemented each other.

Liu Ke said to Jia Wuji again:

"I'll leave the rest of the matter to He Qing's family, and ask the old gentleman to continue to stay in the prison for a while."

Jia Wuji nodded calmly, this family in Qiongzhou city wanted to kill him so much!

If it weren't for the military power in his hands, and Dian Chu and the eight hundred imperial guards, he would have been assassinated many times!
The prison is the safest place, and it is also good for the court.

The emperor can tell the outside world that Jia Wuji is wrong, throw him into prison for punishment, and then push He Kun to release him.

Jia Wuji took the blame, and the court and the emperor earned all the face.

It doesn't matter to Jia Wuji, he has been in the No. 60 years, and he is rushing to be 80 years old, so he doesn't have any desire for fame and fortune.

I just want to live the rest of my life well and see how the wind of the big man can turn the world upside down.

After Liu Ke finished his orders, he left. Only by staying away from the scapegoats can he prove his innocence.

Jia Wuji went to the prison by himself.

He Kun was still calming down the surging emotions in his heart.

[-]% of the benefits are enough for him to manage up and down. There are aristocratic families in Qiongzhou City, and the aristocratic families in Beipu County don't eat dry hair!

Even if he does encounter some difficult-to-provoke families, he can take them directly and make up for the [-]% that the emperor wants.

He could even negotiate with some of the aristocratic families in Qiongzhou City in advance, pretending to pay a huge amount of money to redeem people, but actually giving them away for nothing, wooing some of them, and jointly harvesting the other part who didn't know!

In general, it must be a bloody business!

Huge profits, huge profits!

This is much faster than extorting money from the people by extorting money from the people. Even if those muddy legs are scraped off, they only get a few dollars!

There was light in He Kun's eyes, as if he saw a new world.

Only Dian Chu listened to it for a long time, but he didn't get a clue. He just found a radish to fill in the hole left by He Kun.

"People who play with their brains are dirty."

As soon as Liu Ke returned to the palace, before he had time to rest, he heard someone report that Chen Fujia asked to see him.
