Yang Deli has been thinking about this for many years, and it was not until a few years ago that he suddenly realized it.

If your family is poor, others will bully you.

It's that simple!

So he strongly agrees with what his cousin said that human nature is inherently evil.

But why do those people bully the poor?

He also thought hard for a long time, only to find out later that there was no complicated reason, just because the poor were easy to bully.

The poor have no money and no power, and they can only endure being bullied.

Later, all the aunt's family went, and only he and his cousin were left.He and his cousin were often bullied in those years.

He once reported to the government for this and asked for help from the government.

But no one responded to him, they just drove him out indifferently.

When it was time to collect taxes, those petty officials treated Jia's family like wolves and tigers, and Yang Deli was stunned again.

Our family is poor!

Why not show mercy, but intensify the exploitation?

Later he also figured it out.

No reason, or because the poor are easy to bully.

The petty official exploited the poor, and the poor had no way to fight back, so the petty official was safe.

It all boils down to one sentence: the weaker you are, the more people will bully you!

People!

After all, it is bullying!

He doesn't hate those neighbors, because it's human nature to bully the weak and fear the hard.But he hated those corrupt officials.

As officials, they should uphold justice, but these corrupt officials have become existences that suppress justice.

How miserable the Jia family had been in those years, Yang Deli hated corrupt officials so much.

"Your Majesty, I just collected some calligraphy and paintings."

Shangguanyi was very calm.

It's just a bribe, can you still care about it?

Yang Deli was furious, "Calligraphy and painting can be sold for money! Yan Shangshu's calligraphy and painting are hard to find. If it's not money, what is it?"

Shangguanyi squinted at Yang Deli, "Calligraphy and painting are just for entertainment."

Who hasn't received bribes?

Everyone present except Xu Jingzong probably accepted it.And Xu Jingzong didn't accept him not because he was incorruptible, but because he had no friends, and those people didn't dare to take bribes if they wanted to, for fear that this fellow would speak out loudly.

Dou Dexuan felt that Yang Deli was getting a little nervous.

What's the benefit of offending Shangguanyi like this?

If Xiao Jia was there, he would definitely stop him.

Thinking of Master Jia, Dou Dexuan couldn't help but think of the recent days of the household department, and couldn't help smiling.

"Gold and silver are elegant bribes?"

Yang Deli suddenly came up with a concept.

……

The monarchs and ministers were all stunned.

yes ha!

You said that calligraphy and painting are not money, and they are not considered bribes.But what about gold and silver?

Datang's legal currency is copper coins, and gold and silver are literally... worthless.

But the value of gold and silver is known to all, and to all.

Naturally, no heavy copper coins were used for transactions between nobles, but gold and silver were used to pay bills elegantly.Light weight and small size, this is the advantage of gold and silver.

If you want to say which is more important, gold and silver or copper coins...of course it is gold and silver.

Shangguanyi found herself speechless.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Let the emperor speak.

The prime ministers straightened up, waiting for the emperor's scolding.

The emperor looked calm, and so did Empress Wu.

"As the prime minister, not only the money and food given by the court every year, but also the rewards from me... The farm has countless money and food, but is it short of money?"

This is not the right way to say it.

Shangguanyi lowered his head.

The emperor said indifferently: "If you don't lack money, you will be able to work for me. I don't mention calligraphy and painting, so I just ask... After accepting calligraphy and painting, have you ever done anything for him?"

Datang Law: Accepting bribes and not doing things is considered a misdemeanor, and accepting bribes to do things for others is a felony.

Shangguanyi's head was full of cold sweat, "Your Majesty, I..."

This is the default now.

Taking other people's calligraphy and painting to do business, strictly counting it is a waste of law!

The minimum is two hundred sticks, and the exile is three thousand miles.

Two hundred rods can beat Shangguanyi half to death, and exile for three thousand miles can make him feel sorry for himself in a corner for the rest of his life.

Shangguanyi felt wrong.

Shouldn't the emperor wipe away such things with a casual sentence?
