Yang Shiqi stared at Yang Rong,
asked,
"Do you know that His Highness Shengsun wants to build roads?"
Yang Rong nodded, his eyes dimmed.
replied,
"Know."
Yang Rong didn't say much, and Yang Shiqi understood.
Just like the last stop of conquering the world is Fujian,
If there is road construction, the last stop will be Fujian.
Here, the father doesn't care, the mother doesn't love her, and she basically just fends for herself.
But, speaking of it,
It's not that the court doesn't want to take care of it, it's just that it's incapable of taking care of it.
Take the matter of road building as an example. Road building in the Central Plains involves building roads, while road building in Fujian involves digging mountains and building roads. Can the degree of difficulty be the same?
If we can't dig through Wuyi Mountain, the road will be built in vain.
Because what we want is to be able to send goods from the Central Plains region into Fujian at the lowest cost and then be transported and exported.
If the mountains are not dug, what is the use of just building a few roads within the territory.
Yang Rong scratched his head,
"His Highness said earlier that we could provide relief work, which gave me a sudden enlightenment."
"Oh? Tell me."
Yang Rong nodded and explained,
"Master, think about it."
Upon hearing the title of leader, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but pinch his nose in embarrassment.
Co-author You would rather believe that I am the leader than that I am a third-grade member, right?
However, Yang Shiqi didn’t say much.
Listen to Yang Rong continue.
“Wouldn’t it be enough if we did not treat mountaineering as a corvee, and it would not be a wasted work, but as a job?
Just like farming and fishing, mountaineering is also work.
The problem is that no one has contributed the money. The imperial court has no idea how much money it will spend to relieve floods in various states.
Where is the money provided to the Jianzhou government for work relief? "
Yang Shiqi's eyes lit up when he heard this,
I understand!
simply put,
This can be done, but there is no money!
After all, it’s all about money! Then you should have said it earlier!
Yang Shiqi said excitedly,
"You mean, as long as you have money?
Can this be done? ! "
Yang Rong thought for a while,
Seriously,
"If you have money, you can do it!"
Yang Shiqi slapped his thigh,
"Then let's go talk to Mr. Zheng about this?"
The Lord Zheng in Yang Shiqi's mouth is Zheng Sixian, Fujian's political envoy. He is now in his sixties and is a real parent official of Fujian.
In the early years of Hongwu, he was transferred from Beijing to Fujian as a local official. When he came to this place, he was basically the same as being assigned.
But Lao Zhu came to Fujian with Zheng Si first, not to assign him.
After all, in Lao Zhu's dictionary, the fate of officials is only life or death.
Just kill him if he deserves it, and you still want to distribute him? I’ll give you such a beautiful nose with bubbling snot!
It can be said that Lao Zhu had full expectations for Zheng Sixian, and Zheng Sixian did not disappoint Lao Zhu and basically accomplished everything he could do.
The remaining things that cannot be done are also because it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Zheng Sixian did well in Fujian, and a few years later, he returned to Beijing and was promoted.
But as soon as Fujian left Zheng Sixian, it immediately went into decline. Lao Zhu had no choice but to break the routine and bring Zheng Sixian back to Fujian.
There is no official in the Ming Dynasty who knows Fujian better than this old man.
The old man is from Wenzhou, but he has not been back to his hometown for more than ten years. He has dedicated everything he has here.
Yang Rong smiled and said,
"Master Zheng has so many things to do, how can he find time to see us?"
Yang Shiqi slapped his thigh,
"Isn't it in Quanzhou Prefecture? Let's go now!
I'm a third-grade official, but I can't see Master Zheng? ! "
The external political envoys, that is, local officials, are from the second rank.
Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Rites, is a third-rank official.
The gold content is not much worse than Zheng Sixian.
Yang Rong looked at Yang Shiqi helplessly,
I didn’t know what to say for a moment,
Do you really think of yourself as a third-grade official? !
"Okay! Let's get on our way!"
Yang Rong was abducted by Yang Shiqi half-heartedly, and the two of them led a group of younger brothers towards Quanzhou Mansion.
...........
Beijing Dali Temple
Zhu Yunxi frowned and looked at the files on the desk in front of him repeatedly.
When Li Jinglong came here to pick up the files in the morning, Zhu Yunxi looked like this.
When Li Jinglong came here to deliver the files at noon, Zhu Yunxi still looked like this.
Li Jinglong couldn't help but ask,
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yunxi came to his senses and pushed the file in front of Li Jinglong.
said,
"This is a case brought back by the Criminal Department. Take a look."
Li Jinglong was slightly shocked when he heard this.
The Ministry of Punishment still dares to handle the case brought back to Dali Temple? !
but,
Looking down, Li Jinglong also knew why.
There is no way to handle the cases sent to Dali Temple.
Why did you see a snake with a human face in Ji'an Prefecture, and a deer with human hands and legs in Jianzhou Prefecture?
Strange beasts are everywhere. This kind of case can only be heard as a legend. If it really needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Justice, there is nothing they can do.
If you want to arrest someone, who should you arrest?
Send people to Ji'an Prefecture to catch the human-faced snake?
Li Jinglong whispered,
“Your Highness, such incidents are mostly rumors and conjecture.
It may even be that the people are dazzled. Now that there are floods in Ming Dynasty, it is better not to make such a big deal.
I'm not sure, there are people who are interested in connecting the natural disasters, the Ming Dynasty, and these strange beasts. "
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and looked at Li Jinglong,
"It's fine if one person sees it wrong. Is it possible that everyone is dazzled?"
Li Jinglong quickly changed the subject.
"Your Highness, my subordinates will go to the Criminal Department and ask!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his hand irritably,
"I'll go myself."
Zhu Yunxi always had the feeling that this matter was not that simple.
The appearance of strange beasts in various places is related to floods.
But it's definitely not the relationship Li Jinglong mentioned.
But what the relationship is, Zhu Yunxi can't figure it out.
Zhu Yunxi walked out of Dali Temple, and the cat followed him with his knife on his right hand.
Dali Temple is the easternmost part of the outer palace. It is adjacent to the outer hall of the Ministry of Justice. Next to it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for inspecting various yamen.
Together, these three brothers are the entire legal institution of the Ming Dynasty.
Three law divisions.
Zhu Yunxi frowned and walked into the outer hall of the Ministry of Justice. Now everyone in the palace knew this young master.
The head of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly served tea and reported.
After a while, a white-faced man came out,
The Minister of Punishment, Bao Zhao.
After Zhan Hui, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, was slandered due to the Lan Yu case, Lao Zhu brought Bao Zhao, the minister of punishments, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments to assist Jianwen.
After Zhu Dijingnan entered Beijing, he had a list of twenty-nine people to be beheaded, and Bao Zhao was on the list.
He is not loyal to Jianwen, he is loyal to Lord Hongwu.
Lord Hongwu asked him to assist Jianwen, but since Jianwen was gone, he would no longer be alive.
"Your Highness!"
Bao Zhao saluted respectfully.
Zhu Yunxi said doubtfully,
"Where's Mr. Zhan?"
Bao Zhao, the Minister of Punishment, said embarrassedly,
"Master Zhan has been called into the palace by His Highness Shengsun. If you have anything to say, you can tell your subordinates. I will tell Master Zhan."
As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard that Zhan Hui was called over by his brother,
He said quickly,
"I'm telling you, don't bother Mr. Zhan.
I came here not for anything else but for these cases. "
Zhu Yunxi handed the file to Bao Zhao,
When Bao Zhao saw it, he knew what was going on.
