It's about spending money again. This is the result that Qian Song has long expected. After all, the officers and soldiers of the guard station are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Zhu Xiluo is in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Money is indispensable for the compensation of soldiers who died in battle. Zhu Xiluo still needs those. The soldiers sacrificed their lives for themselves, but Zhu Xiluo didn't want to give up the money, so he had to ask others to give it up, so Qian Song sent a pillow. Naturally, the guilty person took the money. It was reasonable and legal. Zhu Xiluo had been a good person and returned it. Having gained a good reputation without any loss, who would not do such a business? However, the making of weapons and armor was something Qian Song did not expect. After all, the Ming Empire's armaments have been lax for more than three days or two. Some people have mentioned it before, but Zhu Xiluo did not pay attention to it. Zhu Xiluo would do this today, which is naturally due to the influence of the blood moon.
Cashiering is the favorite thing of many people, but taking money out of the house is opposed by everyone. When they heard that they were responsible for the pension money of Qiu Ba, Li Yutang and others wanted to curse. It was because of the incompetence of those soldiers that they died. It has nothing to do with them, and what do they need the money for when the person is dead? They are very reluctant to pay for it.
"The Holy One is wise, and the guilty minister will accept the punishment. Tomorrow, no, today the regular meeting will be over, and the guilty minister will send someone to get the silver." Qian Song took the initiative to solve problems that could be solved with money. Although he loved money, he loved even more the soldiers who shed blood and sweat for the court, for the princes in the court, and for the people of the world. Qian Song spent his money on them without any complaints.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to accept the punishment. The death of countless soldiers in battle is inseparable from our military department. I am willing to spend most of my family property on making armor weapons."
Song Qian, the Duke of Dingguo, also expressed his position.
"Well, my beloved is interested." The two admitted their mistakes. Zhu Xiluo was very satisfied. Then he looked at the three ministers and said, "I love you, but they are not satisfied with my sentence."
"No, Your Majesty is wise, well-founded, and the punishment is reasonable and legal." If anyone dares to disobey the emperor, the three of them will nod hurriedly. ,
"Since we have no objections and the two princes have expressed their opinions, why are you..."
Zhu Xiluo didn't say everything, but the meaning was clear. When will your money be delivered?
"Old minister, I still have a few calligraphy and paintings handed down from my family. I will pay a fine of silver immediately after they are cashed in." Li Yutang was helpless. The price of buying and selling officials could never catch up with the extortion and exploitation of the emperor.
"Old minister, I don't have calligraphy and painting at home." Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Punishment, thought for a while, casually greeted the eighteenth generation of the Qian family, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I still have some grain in the house. After a while, the old minister asked his family to sell it to a trading company. I guess, Presumably, I can collect the money tomorrow."
One sells paintings and the other sells grain. He has a lot of these at home, but others have already bought them and he is selling them. Wouldn't it lower the prices of calligraphy, paintings and grains? Zhang Songhe thought about it but couldn't think of a way to collect money, so he hesitated. , "I have no calligraphy and painting at home, and no food. It is better to wait until after the sacrifice, and then I can think of a solution."
Well, using sacrifices to make money seems to be Zhang Songhe's idea.
"Zhang Songhe is planning to guard and steal for himself." Zhu Xiluo's face was not good, "Master Zhang's hometown has thousands of fertile fields."
"No, Your Majesty, that is ancestral property and cannot be sold." Zhang Songhe hurriedly explained that it was good to be an official in the Ming Empire, but it was a waste of money. Not only was he unable to get the wages, but he was often in trouble. Think about it, Zhang Songhe felt very tired.
"That's your business. The relatives of the dead and wounded soldiers can't wait. One hundred thousand taels per person must be delivered by this time tomorrow at the latest," he called Hao Liande, "Xiao Dezi, let Jin Yiwei be responsible for this matter. If you can't pay the money on time, , Jinyiwei came to ask for it, moved those who could move it, and sold those who could."
With the current emperor's decree, Hao Liande is naturally very happy. After all, I heard that several ministers' mansions cannot open the door if they don't have one hundred thousand taels. It is even said in the mansion that the rewards for young servants start at one hundred taels, and He can visit without spending any money. It is a rare opportunity. Hao Liande plans to let all the royal guards in the capital see the world.
Jin Yiwei's visit is like being invited to tea by the Disciplinary Inspection Commission. Although the matter is not serious, the impact is not good. It is an attitude that he is not loved by those in power. A trace of suspicion from the gift giver is his own loss. How could Zhang Songhe The person said that he couldn't bear this kind of loss, and the money was still good.
"The old minister's wife and concubines also have some jewelry, which must be worth some money."
The last thing you see is the pretentiousness of civil servants, who always pretend to be miserable even though they have money at home. Zhang Luzizi lost his temper and shouted loudly, "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, please stop pretending to be poor. Li Yutang, your grandson, it seems to be Li Jincheng, what did he say about finding his first love in Baihua Building last night? As long as it is related to her first love." Anyone who has something in common can get a reward of a thousand taels of silver. Dozens of girls on the top and bottom of Baihua Tower will all get a reward of silver. Even the aunt in charge of cleaning will get a reward of silver because she has the same gender as your grandson's first love. It is roughly estimated that Li Jincheng's consumption that night was no less than 100,000 taels."
Damn it, this is another big melon. If you go to a brothel to find your first love, you must be sure that your first love will be the brothel sister.
"Zhang Luzi, you are talking nonsense. My grandson Jincheng is a well-educated, virtuous and virtuous man. He never goes to unhealthy places like that." Li Yutang retorted. Even if this thing is ninety-nine times true, Li Yutang beat him to death. Nor admit it.
Everyone hopes to be smart when they raise their children, but I have been deceived by being smart all my life. I only hope that my child will be foolish and careless, and that he will be able to come to the palace without any trouble. Su Shi wanted his son to be stupid, but Li Yutang didn't expect that his grandson was really stupid. Wouldn't it be a bit ridiculous to find his first love in Baihua Tower?
"Master Li's words are wrong." Liu Wenzheng left the class. For the first time, he had a different concept from Li Yutang. "Baihualou is a good place for literati to talk about poetry and composition. It can also bring joy to those who have endured loneliness all year round." , and the girls in Baihualou are considerate and good at serving others. At first glance, your grandson is a person with good taste and temperament. If your grandson can find his first love in Baihualou, it will be a great blessing."
After all, if you want to improve your taste, you will choose Baihualou. As the first choice for men in the Ming Empire, Liu Wenzheng does not want Baihualou to be slandered and suffer unjust injustice.
Li Yutang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Mr. Liu,"
"Ahem, Li Aiqing, don't be so narrow-minded. It's not wrong for Lingsun to like beauty. I heard that the girls in Baihualou are all pretty, and they check their bodies every week. They are safe, reliable, and affordable."
"What the Holy One said is correct, and the humble ministers can also testify." Zhang Songhe chose to support the truth.
Baihualou is a government-run brothel, managed by the Ministry of Rites, and the revenue from Baihualou is naturally the main source of the internal treasury. Zhu Xiluo does not allow anyone to slander his money bag.
No one supports him. Even though Li Yutang has thousands of words, he can't say them out.
"Mr. Zhang, please check it out. If Mr. Li's grandson really spends one hundred thousand taels, give him a membership, and we will pay the price internally in the future."
"The old minister accepts the decree."
Well, Zhang Luzi should be paid for advertising Baihualou for free.
Zhang Luzi continued to report, "Speaking of Mr. Liu, a batch of imported cat and dog food entered Beijing three days ago. Someone saw that the cars containing cat and dog food finally entered the residence of Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Justice."
All the animals eat imported grain, so just tell me, Liu Wenzheng's family can have no money. After hearing such appalling things, the officials could no longer keep their faces calm. People can eat, drink and play, but animals are treated better than people. This is very uncomfortable.
"Zhang Donkey, you are talking nonsense. I never keep cats or dogs in my home, and I have never purchased imported dog or cat food." Liu Wenzheng denied it flatly, although the women in his backyard could do this kind of thing.
"As for Mr. Zhang, I heard that his third uncle's second uncle passed away, and the Zhang family received more than one hundred thousand taels in gifts."
"What does this have to do with me? It's not me who collects the money. Besides, if courtesy is reciprocated, the money must be returned." Zhang Songhe hurriedly explained.
Of course, no one would believe Zhang Songhe's excuse.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Li Yutang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to teach Sun Wufang, Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Punishments, for his extravagance, and Zhang Songhe, the Minister of Rites, for indulging his family members in accepting bribes.'
I say you are the eighteenth generation of Mei ancestors. I have eaten your rice, and you are impeaching us again. Li Yutang, Liu Wenzheng, and Zhang Songhe’s expressions are all wonderful. Is this an innocent shooting? Scholars who promised to persevere will not achieve their goals. What about your unyielding courage and excellent qualities? Aren't you, the old man, impeaching Song Qian? Why did you change so quickly? You really paid wrongly. It turns out that Mei Liangliang, the imperial censor, is a white-eyed wolf in the civil service group, and he is not well-raised. kind of.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged." All three ministers denied it.
Many civil servants were also angry. The Minister of Civil Affairs was their parents who provided food and clothing. How could a son impeach his parents? This was not the way to kill relatives for justice. People who had professional contact with Mei Liang in the past secretly made up their minds that in the future they must be extremely careful and avoid Mei Liang even when going to the toilet. Who knows if the heartless Mei Liang will impeach her for urinating a bifurcation? In medicine This is a prostate disease and is not without the influence of style issues.
Of course, some people are happy while others are worried. The military ministers represented by the three Dukes are very happy. Who said that Mei has a conscience? Not only did he just impeach Duke Wang Ding, he immediately followed up with three civil servants, and he still picked up big persimmons. Yes, the Duke and the Minister are a match sent from heaven.
Zhu Xiluo had a headache. What was originally a court discussion about Japanese pirates attacking the coastal guard station has now turned into a criticism meeting, impeaching one after another.
"Mei Yushi, the Japanese pirates attacked the guard station, causing numerous casualties to our soldiers and civilians. The aftermath needs to be carried out immediately. As for the impeachment, can it be rescheduled?"
There is nothing he can do about Zhu Xiluo, a direct minister and the king of a country. The job of the censor is to impeach and find faults with others, commonly known as finding fault with others. This is his job. He cannot be beaten or scolded. Everything must be discussed.
"I don't know when the Holy One plans to hold a regular meeting again, the kind that all officials in Beijing will participate in."
"This, maybe, probably, maybe, it should happen after the year." Zhu Xiluo said to him that Zhu Xiluo only held a large-scale regular meeting once this year. After all, everyone is very busy. If there is no big event, Zhu Xiluo will not take it easy. Will disturb,
I have known Zhu Xiluo’s nature for a long time. How could Lao Zhu be willing to convene such a meeting, which requires so much effort and effort?
"Your Majesty, I believe that before the laws of the Ming Empire, there are no small matters, let alone priorities. Every problem must be dealt with, and mistakes must be corrected immediately. Tomorrow will come again, and there are so many tomorrows. I was born to wait for tomorrow, and tomorrow will be wasted. Your Majesty, , merit must be rewarded, and delinquency must be punished, and it must be punished immediately”!
