Why Not Fight And Kill

Thinking about this, Kong Rui frowned slightly. Zong Shou treated his subjects so strictly, wasn't he afraid they would turn against him?

Officials dressed up no different from normal people, how could they show the status of the court? How could they display reputation and prestige to the commoners?

How very preposterous... 

He heard Weiyuan laugh out, "Country Father-in-Law doesn't know, Ruler has always saved what he could regarding these useless expenditures. What's weird is that he is generous in our salaries. I am a primary Grade-4 Official in Gantian but my salary can feed 3,000 people. I remember two years ago Prime Minster Ren was furious regarding this matter, scolding the Ruler for not knowing how tough it was to manage finances."  

Kong Ruo was stunned, a year's salary could feed 3,000 people?
