"Actually, I didn't criticize you too much, I just hope you pay attention." Seeing the magistrate's appearance, Zhang Song couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed.

"Hehe, he was frightened, don't be so startled all the time, it's easy to scare people out of trouble." At this time, only some spectators standing next to Zhang Song said.

Zhang Song was surprised by them.

In front of them is the prefect of Shanxi.

As the biggest officer in this place, you dare to laugh. Is he impatient to live, or is he taking advantage of his ability to handle him, hello, take advantage of the fire and make trouble.

From this, he laughed and continued.

"It seems that you have a very low status in the hearts of the people."

"Forehead!"

The prefect of Shanxi is full of black lines.

As an official, on the surface it seems to have a lot of glory, but in fact it is quite difficult to do it without stretching your hand very long.

The wages Zhu Yuanzhang gave them were too low to support the whole family.

Officials in ivory are all paid out of their salary, just like hiring a teacher or a Taiwanese godfather, all of which require the official's own salary to pave the way.

In addition, he is the chief of a large province.When you meet someone for a birthday or a wedding or a wedding, you have to give a gift, and you can't send it to Hancheng, otherwise the other party will make irresponsible remarks.

After finally becoming such a big official, it is natural to pay attention to dignity.

Corruption is naturally behind the decency, and it is absolutely impossible if there is no corruption.

Is Zhu Yuanzhang too stingy?
Of course not. In the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the people in the world still couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes.

There are many families who are naked, and the whole family has only one set of clothes, and whoever goes out to do errands wears clothes.

Zhu Yuanzhang is quite aware of the sufferings of the people, so his kindness is silent.Now Daming is very poor and cannot afford a high salary, so please bear with it for now.

But impossible.

It's like putting a basket of fish in front of a cat, and you tell the cat, this fish is our property, don't steal it.

Do you think this cat will listen to you?

In the face of interests, there are very few people who can achieve the kind of moral standards mentioned in Confucius's book.

Therefore, rather than being unable to control their corrupt hearts, it is better to give a little more anger and at least pay back, so that half of the officials in the world can keep their original intentions.

Once these officials do not have enough food and clothing, they will not be able to earn a decent living. 80% of officials will take the risk...to be a corrupt official.

Although Zhang Song thought about so many issues at this moment, he never expressed his thoughts.

Just staring at him blankly.

"Master Zhang, I also have something to hide. I'm not as good at economics as you are."

"Actually, I have a way of making money, and I just want to cooperate with you. If you cooperate with me, I will guarantee that you will not harm the interests of the common people. I have a small treasury, but you have to keep your original intention. It is okay to take a little bit." Yes, but if you take too much, that’s not okay.”

Zhang Song originally wanted to suggest that Zhu Yuanzhang reform the court's salary.

But think about it or forget it, this will touch Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

Everyone has their own bottom line, if you always touch other people's bottom line, even if you are a talent against the sky, you can't escape the butcher's knife on your head.

There are some things called enough is enough, just like joking, if you joke all the time, it will cause people's resentment, and joking once in a while, it can still adjust the taste of life.

So Zhang Song is not a person with twitching brains.

"The situation is the same, and the reason is the same. It is useless to talk so much, and an official like him will directly send a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, and forget about slapping him in the face."

It was Lin Zhenzhen who said this.

What he hates most is corruption by officials.

I can't control my heart, and I still blame this and that.Even if the emperor sends you a mountain of gold, it's still hard to fill your desires.Seeing the benefits at their fingertips, how could they not make a profit.

So say it.In fact, the world is not complicated. What is complicated is that simple things are all mixed together, and it becomes complicated.

Zhang Song has always believed that such things as interests are the root cause of chaos in the world, but there cannot be no interests. If there are no interests, people will lose motivation.

All people live to fight for benefits. Except for closing their eyes, they no longer seek benefits. As long as they live to the last breath, they are constantly trying to grab more benefits.

So to live is to strive for benefits, and to live is to continuously grab benefits.all living people.They are all working hard towards extending their hands to benefit.

"Master Zhang, please give me a chance!"

All the people present looked at Zhang Song inexplicably, never dreaming that they would humiliate Zhang Song so much.

It was beyond their imagination.

These diners are either rich or expensive. They have seen many big scenes. There are many sincere businessmen who come here to do business, and they are half-sincere people who pass by here to spend here.

A dignified magistrate of Shanxi Province bowed his head to a county magistrate of Qipin to admit his mistake.This matter will be spread to Jinling, and everyone will take it as news again.

Seeing that there are many people talking here, Zhang Song couldn't help but wink at him.

The idea is to let him not say too much here, otherwise someone will use this to make a fuss and bring the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

That would be bad for him.

Thinking of these, he couldn't help crying secretly.

"Then let's talk somewhere else?"
"Of course it's not the time to talk about this kind of thing when you want to change places. Of course, cooperating with you is to transport your resources to the south. The canal is directly transported to Jinling."

Zhang Song decided to open a canal directly to the Yellow River.

If it is transported by water, it can save a lot of cost.

Fortunately, many parts of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are connected to the Yellow River.

But there is a part of the Yellow River in Shanxi that is very turbulent.

Such a Yellow River is not conducive to transportation.The people who take the Yellow River transportation are all experienced boatmen.

The old boatman sitting on the bank of the Yellow River sacrifices to the river god every time he goes out of the boat.

Because the water volume of the Yellow River is very fast, a vortex may suddenly swallow the boat.

The Yellow River is not suitable for large ships, except for steam man-machines like Zhang Song.

Therefore, Zhang Song wanted to use this hand-to-hand machine to continuously transport the coal from Datong, Shanxi to Jinling.

"If Mr. Zhang thinks my house is good, please come to my house for a family dinner."

Zhang Zhong waved his hand, indicating that he could go, because he still wanted to eat a delicious Shanxi-style meal.

Seeing that she was impatient to pay by herself, she nodded, and immediately asked everyone to leave.

Du Jingde, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, was dumbfounded. The majestic magistrate actually subdued himself in front of him. What kind of existence was he? Could it be that he was a certain son of Zhu Yuanzhang, as he had guessed before?
