Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 232
Yinzhen: "How many people have paid off their debts?"

"Back to the emperor, Suo'etu's lineage, Master Mingzhu's lineage, Fucha's lineage...that's all for the time being."

Yinzhen listened for a while, and most of the people on these lists were people he had touched in the past few years, because he knew that he had a little temper, and he knew in his heart that since he intended to collect debts, he must achieve it.

They were also afraid, and the family wasn't really too poor to get rid of the blame, so they paid it back if they could, and wanted to make a good impression on him.

The approach seems rather timid, but it is undeniable that it is a smart approach.

Yinzhen, who was the first to pay back the money, must have the attitude of Brother Hei, and let people spit out the money they ate, so they can't show nothing at all.

"Liang Jiugong, if any junior in the future is promising, please remind me." It is always necessary to give some benefits, but the premise is that you really have the ability.

For the sake of their knowledge, Yinzhen decided to pay more attention to the juniors in their family.

After instructing this matter, Yinzhen thought for a while, and then remembered that some of these people who paid back the money seemed to be still usable, so he issued an imperial edict to increase the adjustment for them.

Yinzhen did it clearly, and anyone could see that the emperor was expressing that he should pay back the money quickly, and if he paid it back early, there might be benefits.

As for the late payment or not, what will happen to the result is really hard to say.

Because of this incident, some of them were still clear-headed, and they all paid back after watching.

Ten days have passed, and five or six million taels of silver have been paid back one after another. The figures look good, but Yinzhen knows that these are less than a quarter.

Borrowing two or three million taels like Suo'etu is considered timid, and the courageous ones have borrowed more than seven to eight million taels in total.

There are not many such courageous people, but there are a few of them, and they are all willing to pay back.

The remaining ones borrowed five or six million taels, in descending order.

Including the arrears during the Shunzhi period, there are a total of nearly 3000 million taels, basically all of which are borrowed but not repaid.

Yinzhen asked people to investigate, and found that many families that borrowed money had declined, and they had nothing to do except rent houses and properties.

There are not so many such families, they are basically meritorious ministers from their ancestors, otherwise they would not dare to go to the Ministry of Households to ask for money, and the Ministry of Households does not just borrow from individuals.

Yinzhen checked it out, and then asked someone to sort it out. If it was really difficult at home and the loan was urgent, he would ask someone to come to the door and set a time to return it. He is not really unkind.

But the premise is that these people cannot borrow more than 1 taels of silver. After all, if 1 taels is not extravagant, it is enough for expenses.

What's more, I checked a few families that were not involved in production, and they were half-forced to return the money. If it was not enough, they would be given a specified time limit, and they would make up for it later. There are reasons for borrowing money if they are capable. If they don't work, they still want to live a rich life. Daydream too!

According to his temperament in his previous life, such a family must have been copied by him, but in this life he has understood a lot, copying the family is useless, and in the end he will be judged harshly and mercilessly.

He asked people to check the house and asked for money, not only that, but he also asked people to publish it in the newspaper, so that the common people knew how difficult it was for him to be the emperor. It was a good intention to borrow money from others, but they ended up squandering it with the money in the treasury.

After being so publicized, the common people really sympathized with the emperor Yinzhen, and they all felt that he was too kind. The world is the emperor's majesty. life and death.

These officials are the emperor's slaves. Yinzhen, the emperor's master, sympathized with his courtiers and allowed them to borrow the money from the treasury to rescue them. It turned out that they were lucky, taking the money from the emperor's treasury and acting like a dude.

Ordinary people don't know that dignitaries and dignitaries pay attention to respect and decency, they only know that food and clothing are important things in life, and listening to the amount of tens of thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels of silver, they feel that the emperor is pitiful.

Some people even said that the emperor was too merciful. If ordinary people had such a bold servant, they would definitely not give them a chance to survive.

Not only that, because of the newspaper propaganda in place, Yinzhen's reputation among the people became even louder. They all said that the emperor is kind and the emperor is sympathetic to the people.

Part of the money in the treasury is the tax money paid by the people, and the money owed by the courtiers to the treasury can be regarded as money owed to the people for their hard work.

The money taken from the treasury must be used for the people.

The emperor Yinzhen's reputation among the people is getting higher and higher. Most of the scholars were a little youthful before they entered the officialdom, because they learned to eat the king's salary and worry about the king's worries, so they still understand the truth.

Just now, no matter what your family background is, when you are a student, you always think about the wise words in books. Although these things may not be applicable to life, most of them are deeply believed in when you are a student.

For a while, Yinzhen also gained a lot of good reputation among scholars.

Of course, there are also children from aristocratic families, who have been aware of the key points since childhood, but these key points are things that cannot be said out loud.

Scholars pay attention to a clear name, the importance of reputation is self-evident, no matter how filthy the inside is, you must have the character of a scholar on the surface, or you will be scolded and ginseng!

After another ten days, due to the pressure, people continued to pay their debts one after another. Yinzhen ordered someone to check the list of the remaining debtors who had not yet returned the debts. release officials.

Officials who are sent out do not need to be Beijing officials. Beijing officials look more dignified, but in fact, many of the officials who are sent out to the local area can manage one party.

The power has been in my hands for a long time, so it is inevitable that I can't see the current situation clearly, and I feel that the emperor will not really attack them. After all, there are many who don't pay them back. The reputation is not good either.

Because of this kind of thinking, many people go their own way and don't take it seriously.

Suo'etu was the first to pay back the debt, and after a month of Suo'etu's repayment, Yinzhen looked at the list, and the local officials could receive news within a month, but now it must be impossible to collect it back.

Yinzhen understood immediately.

Yinzhen looked at those people who really couldn't give the money, if they borrowed from the Shunzhi Dynasty, the matter is over, if the Shunzhi Dynasty has the ability to borrow but failed to repay, they will be dismissed and investigated.

According to their errands, Yinzhen gave time to send some to the Ministry of Households every year, at most, it would be a few more years.

In short, it is installment repayment.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, those who borrowed silver and were able to pay back the debts were not paid back. Yinzhen was not used to them, and gave them a time. If they did not pay back within the specified time limit, they would be dismissed and investigated. By the way, they would not be able to enter the official career for two generations.

Dismissal and investigation are already very scary. If two generations cannot enter the official career, even if they are in a prominent family, they will inevitably fall.

After the imperial decree was issued, the effect was very obvious. Those who could be repaid were repaid, and most of the parts that could not be repaid were repaid in installments.

After lending out a little over 3000 million taels, the final debt received was more than 900 million taels, and Yinzhen was already very satisfied.

This collection is very different from his previous life. In his previous life, he was an older brother when he was collecting debts. At that time, although Huang Ama was determined, he took a lot of care in doing things, so most of the time he made red faces. He dragged his feet.

He is an emperor in this life, he is very clear about these ways, he has experienced a lot, so he must be more thoughtful in handling this matter.

Although some officials may not be happy in their hearts, at least he got his money back and his reputation is not bad.

Yinzhen is content.

"Your Majesty, this servant has brought over the latest newspapers, and I'm asking the Emperor to have a look."

Yinzhen took the newspaper and read it carefully. The newspaper published the matter of repaying the money, no matter what he wanted, so Yinzhen hinted that the people in the Propaganda Department should praise these officials who paid back the money.
