I’m a Corrupt Official, but the Empress Tells Me to Stop Being So Outrageous

Jiang Chen transmigrates to the Wu Zhou dynasty and awakens the Corrupt Official System. The more corrupt he is, the more rewards the System gives him. With everyone’s emotions running high, he’s already won big. Empress: I sent you to relieve the famine and gave you three hundred thousand taels of silver to buy grain. You turned around and bought a million dan of bran, then somehow made another hundred thousand taels. Jiang Chen: Just tell me, did I provide famine relief or not? Everyone: ? Is he not even trying to hide his corruption? Empress: I told you to recommend worthy officials, but you went and sold government posts. You even claim you’re serving the nation. Jiang Chen: Just tell me, were the officials I recommended worthy or not? Everyone: ? He’s done for! Empress: I told you to raise funds, and you sold my belongings without even giving me a share. What a clever scheme. Jiang Chen: I sold them with my own skill. Why should I split the money with you? Everyone: Holy crap, he even dares to sell the Empress! He’s practically asking to die! Empress: I told you to defend against the Xiongnu, and you asked for thirty million taels of silver. What are you, Huang Shiren? Jiang Chen: You think my tanks, planes, and cannons are free? Empress: I have no money to give you, and I won’t give you my life either. How about I offer myself as collateral instead? Jiang Chen: Sounds good. Let’s consummate the marriage tonight! Everyone: This guy’s hardcore. He really wants to sleep with the Empress!
