The official position that made a fortune with adults is the "shopkeeper". He deals with money every day, and he is good at managing money. He is also diligent and simple, and there is no sign of graft. When he was promoted to assistant minister, he was bribed. Righteously, he decisively refused the gift giver. Later, after the Li Shiyao case, the adults' sense of justice was completely disintegrated in front of money. It turned out that Li Shiyao, a college student who was then Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was suspected of corruption, and Qianlong sent assistant ministers of punishments, Kanin 'a and Xiao Shenyang, to Yunnan to investigate the case.
At first, the case had no clue. Little Shenyang put Li Shiyao's housekeeper in prison and gave her a good beating. The housekeeper couldn't bear to explain the master's instructions in detail. These XiaGuan also confessed for fear of treason and betrayal of Li Shiyao. Li Shiyao couldn't escape the death penalty, and Xiao Shenyang, after investigating the case, was called the assistant minister of the Ministry, and then he was promoted to the command minister.
Li Shiyao's case has been handled, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Li Shiyao and some of his subordinates' property were taken away by adults! In addition, Qianlong appreciated him and was satisfied with the way Xiao Shenyang handled the case, so he was knighted. At this time, living in harmony with adults is really the taste of powerful people, and step by step towards the peak of power and money. He not only has power, but also has power! His son married Qianlong's daughter, and he is also a member of the royal family! When a person has greed for power, he will have greed, and it is this selfish desire that makes him swell day by day. Slowly use your position and identity among adults, form parties for your own selfish interests, collect money, and attack opponents.
I'm not idle with adults in private. Besides being an official, I also do business. He runs 75 pawn shops, has business dealings with more than 300 large and small banks, and has business dealings with the East India Company and 13th Guangdong Branch. It's hard to be the richest man in the universe by your own political means! Moreover, it is particularly important to hold an official position with adults during the Qianlong period! When family members and adults were robbed, it was roughly estimated that the property value was about 820 million to 1 1 100 million taels of silver, and the gold and silver they owned, together with other antique treasures, exceeded the sum of the fiscal revenue of the Qing government in fifteen years. Your own mansion is decorated like a palace!
