eldest son of Ming dynasty

After the emperor helped judge Zhou Huai's case, the original notice posted by Song Heng outside the governor's office finally had a big effect.With such an example, more and more people reported on the evil deeds of rural tyrants.

It can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Zhu Houzhao in the last two days.

Of course, what was handed over was a bit ugly.

Shanyang County, Qinghe County, Andong County... When all places have compiled their lists, there will be more than just Zhouhuai?

Zhu Houzhao looked through it bit by bit.

Wang Bing and others waiting nearby were all beating in their hearts. The emperor had said that the emperor would not move unless he was satisfied.

The only sound in the room was the clatter of pages being turned.

At some point, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"...that Zhou Huai, how much silver was confiscated from his home?"

Song Heng trembled and reported back: "Your Majesty, the total amount is more than [-] taels."

"Don't have a million?"

amount……

"There is indeed only more than 100 yuan in cash. There are also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. After pawning them, we should be able to collect [-] million yuan."

"So, he's not particularly rich in the Nanzhili area. Looking at his demeanor, I thought he was some great person."

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world. In your eyes, Zhou Huai is indeed not worth mentioning."

"If you can pawn those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, do it quickly, and then pack the money into boxes as soon as possible."

The emperor's tone had been calm so far.

The memorial, which contained many names, did not seem to cause any turmoil.

Wang Bing felt a little reassured. It seemed that the emperor did have what he had guessed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Weichen has already arranged for someone. But if it's an urgent sale, the price will probably have to be higher."

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew, "Mr. Wang Ge, Mr. Yang Ge."

"The minister is here."

"We took down a salt merchant and made a fortune. Although military pay can solve most of the problems, silver ingots can't kill the enemy. So much money must be put to a greater use. This thing Have you ever thought about it?"

"Wei Chen has thought about it," Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it."

"Yes. First of all, the imperial court has an extra amount of silver, which is always good for the war. Whether it is food, military uniforms, weapons, or horses, it can have more adequate guarantees. Therefore, firstly, it can better guarantee that there will be no shortage of money. We are short of food and don’t owe wages. Secondly, to make good use of such sudden wealth, I think we can start from three aspects."

"Which three aspects?"

"Use strong horses, wear heavy armor, and equip with firearms. None of these three things are free of charge."

Zhu Houzhao did not care about money, "There are not many troops equipped with this kind of equipment. As long as there are two guards, the Ming army will be invincible!"

"That's exactly what I mean."

Wang Bingze said: "But the battle in the northwest is imminent, and it is too late to replace them before the battle. We can only make preparations first. In this case, the money will not be used in the northwest."

"It doesn't matter. If you are afraid of doing something, you can achieve it if you do it. It's not like I lack some wealth from this Zhou family, so I'll prepare it first."

When the minister thought about it, it was indeed true.

"Give the Ministry of War a decree. Let them start planning and have a charter as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Zhu Houzhao weighed the memorial in his hand, "As for these things...Song Heng,"

"The minister is here."

"I can't judge your case here every day. You can decide what to do on your own, right?" Song Heng knelt down, "This time something untoward happened in Huai'an Mansion and disturbed His Majesty's leisure. It's all my fault. Wei. I will definitely remember the lesson, investigate the case in detail, provide justice to the people, and give an explanation to His Majesty."

"Don't have too many distracting thoughts. Just be your governor of Fengyang. There will be a great court meeting in the 11th year of Zhengde. I will listen to your report then."

"Wei Chen, follow the order!"

……

……

Continuing south from Huai'an Prefecture, you have to pass through Yangzhou, where the emperor didn't stop much.

Li Dongyang has already fallen ill.Zhu Houzhao didn't know that he would die next year, so he was a little worried that he would not see him for the last time.

As for Yangzhou, I can only watch it next time.

After passing Yangzhou, it is not considered the territory under the jurisdiction of Governor Fengyang, but should be governed by Governor Yingtian.

The closer you get to the south of the Yangtze River, the more willows and flowers bloom in spring.

Zhu Houzhao called Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing into his carriage. It would be nice to have more conversation on the road.

As for his ministers... they also found one for each.

Yang Tinghe has always had something on his mind.

The emperor was not angry because there were so many powerful people on the list of Huai'an Mansion, which meant that Wang Bing's guess was probably close.

Don't look at the lack of movement here. In fact, the sudden discovery of so many such bad things will have a huge impact on other prefectures and even other provinces.

After all, where can these things not exist?
If we follow this approach, how many heads will be cut off?
Moreover, he went to Jiangnan to investigate the case, so the officials themselves were probably worried.

With such fermentation, some of the emperor's goals were achieved.

"...When we arrived at Yingtian, I don't know how many people asked about these things. It was not a big deal. They were just some powerful people, but their fame and influence were too great. Even ordinary people knew that the emperor had arrested him. I have met many people like this. When I learn from them... even if the officials in Yingtian have two extra eyes, they will not be able to see the powerful people and the people below."

Wang Bing folded his hands and looked at an ordinary little old man, who actually had a clear understanding of the situation.

"Therefore, as soon as Your Majesty arrives in Yingtian, the people will definitely be excited."

"I originally thought that this is not necessary. Whatever your Majesty wants to do, you can just issue a decree. But after experiencing it carefully in the past two days, I still feel that it is indeed necessary. It is justified and logical, and it is easier to accept it."

Yang Tinghe said: "Does the pavilion always talk about the ministers of the DPRK?"

"Yes, and no. There are also these powerful gentry in the countryside in the world." Wang Bing half-opened his eyes and pointed his fingers, "Kill a group, capture a group, and kill one to serve as a warning to others. Only the rest will be honest. The government's policy must be implemented It is also easier. In addition, it can indeed purify the world's atmosphere and save the common people. In this way, Your Majesty is killing three birds with one stone."

And make it completely invisible.

Before that, they really thought that the emperor was just going to Jiangnan this time.

Wang Bing smiled and said, "Especially after hearing the Zhou Huai case with my own ears, I feel that it is necessary for Your Majesty to make an extra detour. Ming Dynasty, we cannot let these people be ruined and become nothing like themselves. Right?"

"In this way, His Majesty will urge this matter after returning to Beijing."

"It shouldn't be wrong. You and I have experienced it firsthand. When the time is right, let's find someone to talk to." Wang Bing was in a relaxed mood.

This is really a big deal. If he makes this contribution to the emperor, his position in the cabinet will be more stable, and Yang Yiqing and Wang Hao will always leave one day.

Turning his head to look at Yang Tinghe, Wang Bingzhuangruo said unintentionally, "Of course, you don't have to be an official. Your son also has spirit. It depends on whether you, the father, will allow it."

This is a credit, and Yang Tinghe certainly understands what he means.

"Quinzi?" Yang Tinghe could only be humble first, "He is burdened by his talent and reputation. Now it is still unclear whether he can understand the profound meaning of His Majesty and the elder."

Wang Bing won't say any more. He knew it before, but people have to make some progress, right?
This matter is just a sign now, so there is no rush.And he did what he should do. As for what others thought, he didn't expect or care.

I almost overslept today and didn't have time to type. .

Because I signed up for today’s martyrs commemoration event, and there happened to be this opportunity in my unit.I woke up very early and it was raining, so I was a little tired. I was very sleepy by [-]pm, so I took a nap.

Also, today is very meaningful.I would really cry at that moment =·=
