Although Hezhen is greedy for money, there are three kinds of silver that will not be greedy, experts: smart people
I believe that many friends have seen the TV series "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", Ji Xiaolan played by Zhang Guoli and He Yan played by Wang Gang are a pair of joyful enemies in the play, and they are also two ministers that the Qianlong Emperor trusts very much. Both were very talented, one was humorous, and the other was able to observe the color, so the emperor would take both with him when he often traveled.
We also know that Hezhen is a famous corrupt official. Although he amassed countless sums of money, the Qianlong Emperor always felt that his merits were greater than his faults, and he was reluctant to kill him. However, after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, the Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, and He yan also lost his patron, in a short period of time Jiaqing copied He yan's home, and Qianlong just died for ten days, Jiaqing ordered He Yan to commit suicide, it is said that the property hidden by He Yan was equal to the fifteen years of income of the Qing government at that time, and he was also a world-class rich man at that time.
He Yan was greedy for so much money, and his means and channels for collecting money were very many, but it was such a big corrupt official, who also had his own principles for doing things, generally there were three kinds of silver he would not be greedy, and later it was also considered by relevant experts that He Yan was a smart person.
The first is that someone bribed and bribed silver during the scientific expedition. He Yan himself was also born as a reader, and he also lived a long and hard life, and he understood the difficulties of reading people. Moreover, in the early years, he also failed the Kazuma exam, so he could also understand the inner torment that talented people did not encounter. Therefore, he will not make the imperial examination unfair because of greed for money in this regard, on the other hand, many people who go through the back door are also insufficient, and if these people make mistakes during their later period as officials, they will definitely be inseparable from Hezhen. Therefore, even if he is greedy for money, Hezhen will not accept bribes in this regard.
The second is disaster relief silver. He Yan's early experience and his conscience would not allow him to embezzle money for disaster relief, and it would be a very big crime if he moved the disaster relief money. Therefore, He yan could not and did not dare to embezzle disaster relief funds.
The third kind is silver that is not sure. The money he embezzled could not be very risky, because if things were not done well, it would be easy to expose his crimes, so he would not take this unnecessary risk to accumulate wealth.
In fact, if he hadn't been corrupt, he might have left his name in history. Because we all know that in addition to being very good at observing words and colors, He yan is also very powerful, not only a big talent, but also proficient in many languages, and has also played an important role in many key moments.
