The tiny land of Japan is located in the north.
Many places are farther north than the Ming Dynasty. In winter, the weather is even colder. During the Little Ice Age, the weather in the Japanese country was much colder than the Ming Dynasty.
The small country of Japan needed materials but no materials, and needed technology but no technology.
The Japanese were in great need of the Ming Dynasty's cold-warming supplies.
In today's Ming Dynasty, cold-resistant materials are distributed everywhere to help the people of the Ming Dynasty survive the severe cold. The Japanese are eyeing these materials. As long as they take them back and simply resell them in the country, they can make a lot of money.
These Japanese people are like this, and they hit it off with the magistrate of Lishui County.
Jin Yiwei's investigation into Lishui County dug out the Japanese. Zhu Xuan was able to know that the Japanese were in the Lishui County government office because he read the information brought back by Jin Yiwei.
Therefore, the magistrate of Lishui is very courageous.
This is the first time Zhu Xuan has seen someone dare to do such a thing under the emperor's feet.
"You guys, what else can you say?"
Zhu Xuan kicked him, and the master asked calmly.
The magistrate of Lishui was so frightened that he fainted, and the Japanese were too frightened to speak. Zhu Xuan could only ask a few questions to the master next to the magistrate.
As a staff member of the county magistrate, it is impossible for the master not to know what they are doing, and they must be colluding with each other.
"Your Highness, please spare my life!"
The master knelt down and kowtowed in fear of death.
I didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, let alone that His Highness the Emperor Taisun would suddenly come to Lishui County.
Even Yin Liangfu of Yingtian Mansion may not come to this place.
This accident came so unexpectedly that they were caught off guard.
"According to the survey, your Lishui County is still short of food."
"With so many high-yielding crops under the emperor's feet, you will still be short of food. This is beyond my imagination."
"Where has all your food in Lishui gone?"
Zhu Xuan asked, staring at the master.
The master cried and cried: "It's us adults who sold the grain to the Japanese country! This year there was a severe drought in the Japanese country. For half a year, there was no rain and there was no harvest. We adults sold 80% of the grain reserves in Lishui County to the Japanese country at a high price. !”
"damn thing!"
Lei Gang couldn't hold back for a moment and kicked the magistrate hard.
This bitch is as hateful as the Shunde magistrate back then.
Even peeling off the skin is a relatively light punishment. If you dare to treat the people of the Ming Dynasty like this, you should first skin them alive and then slowly torture them.
The magistrate of Lishui was kicked soberly.
The moment he woke up, he was at a loss for a while, then he realized what had happened and knelt in front of Zhu Xuan to beg for mercy.
Zhu Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and said: "I think the city is not very chaotic?"
"That's because Lord Fuyin wanted to investigate the situation in our eight counties. We, Lord, were afraid that something would be discovered, so we resorted to fraud to create an illusion that there was no chaos."
"The people who really suffered were gathered in another place by him."
"What His Highness saw when he entered the city was not true!"
The master quickly explained.
He seemed to want to turn into a tainted witness and testify against their county magistrate, hoping that the punishment he received would not be too harsh.
"So that's the case!"
Zhu Xuan understood this.
I didn't expect this bitch to know how to do face-saving projects.
No one is more proficient in official matters than him.
"damn thing!"
Yan Guan couldn't help it and gave the magistrate a hard kick.
Zhu Xuan said: "Arrange the Jin Yiwei to take them back to the prison and go through the process."
When the Jin Yiwei heard this, they immediately laughed.
Hearing that the process was about to go through, the magistrate, although he had never seen the process of being imprisoned, could still imagine what it was like. He begged bitterly: "Your Highness, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore."
There is definitely nothing good about the process in the prison.
The Jin Yiwei dragged the person away regardless of how he yelled. As the emperor's minions, they would never be merciful or merciful.
"Lord Fu Yin, help me!"
The magistrate of Lishui struggled for a moment and shouted again.
Liang Fu finally came here. When he saw this scene, he knew that the water in Lishui County was very deep. There was something wrong. He knelt down and said, "Damn it! I have no way to control you. Even the Lishui water under my nose is..." There is a problem in the county, and I can’t find it, so please forgive me, Your Highness.”
After saying this, he also kowtowed.
If he discovered this matter, it would actually be easy to solve.
But when Zhu Xuan discovered this during a private visit, the problem became serious. If the news reached Zhu Yuanzhang, he could imagine that his end would not be very good.
You are lucky to be alive.
Otherwise, they may be sent to a remote place.
"When winter is over, you can wait for Grandpa Huang's punishment!"
Zhu Xuan won't do anything to him yet. After all, the cold disaster has not been resolved yet. It is the time to hire people. We will wait until this time passes.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Liang Fu kowtowed.
"Get up!"
Zhu Xuan added: "You should resolve the matter in Lishui County yourself, and don't forget to report it to Grandpa Huang. The Jin Yiwei is investigating the remaining counties, and I will send the results of the investigation to you."
Liang Fu nodded and said, "I accept your order!"
Zhu Xuan arranged his work and left Lishui County.
Liang Fu will follow up on what to do next. If something happens again in Lishui County, then Liang Fu's head is really unnecessary. Therefore, Liang Fu does not dare to let Lishui County have other problems.
"Your Highness, what about those two Japanese?"
Hou Xian seemed to hate the Japanese very much and did not want to let them go.
In addition, if the Japanese dared to ignore the ban and reach into the city to transport cold-warming supplies from Lishui County, then their big ship must be at the nearby dock, and there should be many Japanese on board.
"Arrange people to capture all the Japanese."
"In addition, all ships coming from overseas and docking in the Yangtze River will be thoroughly investigated."
"First blockade ports, docks and sea outlets, and then arrest people."
Zhu Xuan had no intention of letting them go.
Those who come from overseas are not strictly controlled and are now becoming more and more unruly.
"yes!"
Yan Guan took the order and asked people to do it.
These must be thoroughly checked before cold protection can be done.
A county under Yingtian Mansion could be so corrupt. You can imagine how unbridled other areas in the northern Ming Dynasty could be.
"No wonder Grandpa Huang dislikes and doesn't trust officials so much." Zhu Xuan muttered in his heart.
According to the moral character of officials in the world, it is difficult to trust them.
There are not many officials who are really willing to work and are willing to serve the people. Many people will change their initial beliefs when they become officials. This has been true throughout the ages.
"well!"
Zhu Xuan sighed.
Regarding the rectification of officialdom, it is a long and arduous task, and it is also an impossible task.
Even in modern times hundreds of years later, such officials can be found everywhere and there is no way to eliminate them.
It is also impossible to cut off.
After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are interests.
"Your Highness, all the information from other counties is here."
Yan Guan came back with another piece of information and sent it to Zhu Xuan.
In the remaining counties, minor problems still exist, but major problems do not exist, which is much better than Lishui County.
Zhu Xuan finished reading and said: "Send it to Liang Fu. Let's walk around again and then go back to the palace!"
The purpose of coming out today has been achieved. We will make overall arrangements when we go back.
