Traveling through the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Qian was bound to the "Great Corrupt Official System".
As long as the corruption is legal and not detected, the stolen money can be converted into life span and full attributes.
As a result, Lu Qian began to frantically test on the verge of death.
He dared to embezzle money for building the Yellow River, embezzle military salaries for fighting against Japanese invaders, and even steal incense money for Jiajing Taoism!
Lu Qian: "I am the most corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty. Please impeach me quickly and let me retire and return home!"
However, Emperor Jiajing, who had been practicing Taoism for thirty years, had a [Ming Dynasty loyal minister simulator] in his mind.
Lu Qian embezzled two taels of silver from building embankments on the Yellow River.
Simulator: [Lu Qian was well aware of the corruption in the officialdom, so he used corruption in exchange for relief. He secretly used the stolen money ten times to buy food and save millions of victims. This is the cornerstone of the country!
Lu Qian embezzled the salary of the anti-Japanese army.
Simulator: [Lu Qian intercepted military scrap silver and secretly built a magical weapon for the camp. The Qi Army's combat power soared. This is the shield of the country!
Looking at Lu Qian who was frantically making money, Jiajing was moved to tears:
"The civil and military officials in this dynasty are all selfish people, but Lu Aiqing is the only one who would rather suffer a lifetime of infamy than bear the burden for me!"
Yan Dang: Your Majesty, Lu Qian is greedy for a million taels!
Jiajing slapped him in the face: Fart! Lu Aiqing's private money was saved for me! If it's not enough, I will allocate another two million taels to him!
Lu Qian looked at his skyrocketing lifespan and the death-free iron coupon that Jiajing handed over, and was completely confused:
"No, Your Majesty, I am really corrupt. Why do you still let me be the chief minister?!"
