My Daming New Empire

At first, the Liu family used the Mao family to steal a man, and dealt with her according to the regulations of No. 19 in the Daming Law, Gong Le Hu and Women's Crimes.

But in the original clause, the crime of adultery for a woman is only one hundred sticks and eighteen sticks of ransom.The Liu family's disposal of the Mao family was originally for her house and eight acres of land, so how could they be willing to let the Mao family spend [-] pieces of money, but they regarded the money as their own.

What's more, there is still privacy in it, that is, according to the previous case files, there is no need for the Mao family to steal a man.

Mao's husband died, according to the court law, he should have remarried when he was less than thirty.She just didn't like the prodigal son chosen for her by the clan. She found a solid widower in another village and was framed for sinking into the river.

Regarding the process of the case, everyone soon had a clear retrial procedure according to the law. The key lies in what purpose Zhu Zhanji uses this case to achieve.

Zhu Zhanji put forward two requirements and said: "First, everyone must know that although the elders represent the imperial court, they cannot judge life and death. Second, the patriarchal clan must be smaller than the national law."

At this time, Li Qing cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I would like to go to Linzhou to review this case and let the world know about it."

Zhu Zhanji laughed noncommittally, and said, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, Li Shilang, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Li Qing was indeed a little impatient. He was transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of Industry. He was originally going to be a minister, but because Zhu Zhanji couldn't understand that a good old man in Wuzhong was the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he was driven back to the Ministry of Industry to do his job. Old business.

Wu Zhong went back to the Ministry of Industry, and there was another Song Li as a minister, which delayed Li Qing.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know Li Qing before, and he trusted the famous Gu Zuo more. Now that Gu Zuo has been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, it is difficult for Li Qing to arrange.

But through this period of contact, Zhu Zhanji discovered that people like Li Qing are the go-getters he needs most now.He doesn't have Gu Zuo's tact and skill, but he lacks a breakout player, a catfish in a pond.Daming's officialdom is too stable, a little conservative, so he needs such a person to stir things up.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanji has now received the news that Zhu Di has arrived in Star City and is about to go to the West, so he feels that he can move.

In today's Ming Dynasty, there are two corrupt officials, one is Liu Guan and the other is Fang Bin.Fang Bin is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Zhanji holds the handle in Zhu Zhanji's hands. When there is no need to maintain stability, Zhu Zhanji will not touch him.

If you don't move him, you will move Liu Guan, and Liu Guan, as one of the Nine Ministers and the Zuodu Censor, is also a high-ranking and powerful person.

It is more suitable than anyone else to take him down and let the stupid Li Qing become the censor of Zuodu.

In the five years of Yongle 14 years ago, he served as the left deputy capital censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than a year.

In just over a year, he impeached the governor Cai Fu for selling private salt;Governor Fei Wangxian bullied Wang, Liang Ming was greedy and brutal, and Governor Cao De, who guarded Dezhou, was greedy for money.

In an average of two months, one super second-rank official was pulled down by him, which shows his strong ability.

It's just that most of the officialdom pays attention to keeping a front line for others, so that we can meet each other in the future and be harmonious.It was unpopular for him to do so, so he was later recommended by other officials to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then served as the prefect of Shaoxing, but he was not allowed to inform people.

But Zhu Zhanji wouldn't care about this. He was only afraid of disadvantages with Li Qing's knife.

Near noon, when today's afternoon was coming to an end, several ministers made arrangements according to Zhu Zhanji's wishes.

One is to ask the Linzhou County Government to re-examine the case of the Mao family of the Liu family, and will follow up and report directly on the residence newspaper, so that everyone in the world will know about this case.

The main propaganda points here are Zhu Zhanji's two requirements.It is not a simple matter for the imperial power to go to the countryside. The world is so big, and most of the common people are illiterate. It is impossible to send people one by one to tell them what the imperial court law is like.

Moreover, this follow-up involved the trouble of appointing an official. If the number of officials was increased several times at once, the court would not be able to bear it.

So it's still a step-by-step question.As for the dispute between the imperial power and the scholar-officials, no one mentioned it at this time.

Zhu Zhanji didn't mention it because the time was not ripe.However, when the dynasty was scattered, Zhu Zhanji stopped Li Qing, who was a little disappointed.Li Qing was overjoyed immediately, and the others were secretly startled, because everyone knew that if Zhu Zhanji wanted to use someone, he would meet him alone and keep him a meal.

Li Qing is about to wake up!

After the others left, Zhu Zhanji looked at Li Qing who was full of excitement and said: "The ancestors of the Taizuo are initially determined, and they need to be stable and peaceful. The emperor's peace is difficult, and he must win people's hearts.

Now the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the court is harmonious, and the officials are increasingly fond of luxury, so they are lonely and want to reorganize the administration of officials. "

When Li Qing heard this, he immediately cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness, please prohibit private merchants, and everything will be assigned to the internal prison. It is even more important to prohibit nobles and officials from engaging in business."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and said: "One yard is equal to one yard, and the economy needs to be active. This will not change. Clean up the administration of officials, but we can't give up because of choking."

Li Qing is an upright official, he hates corrupt officials deeply, his family has no business, and there is only [-] acres of official land in his hometown.

This is extremely rare for a third-rank minister.But he does not see the importance of economic development, so this aspect must be clearly explained to him.

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Does Aiqing think that there are countless wealth in this world?"

Influenced by Confucianism, Li Qing thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to answer like this.Because everyone can see that the former Ming Dynasty couldn't even pay officials' salaries, and only used food instead.But these years, more and more money, most of their salaries are paid directly through the bank, and they don't owe anything at all.

Li Qing originally thought that the gold and silver came from overseas, so he increased the size.

However, when he studied the financial situation in different periods of history, he became more and more confused.

For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, with only half of the country, the annual tax collection was 5000 million yuan, which is nearly twice the current amount.And at that time, most of the wealth was snatched away by the Liao Kingdom and Meng Yuan.

Where did the money come from?

Since he didn't understand economics, he didn't dare to answer casually, and said honestly: "I am a fool, I have always been puzzled."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "There is a specialization in surgery, Aiqing's ability in investigating cases, handling cases, and collecting evidence is still very reassuring to Gu.

However, the most important thing for a country is to provide people with a better life on a stable basis.Therefore, peace cannot be affected just because of the investigation, nor can development be affected because of the investigation.

Although Liu Guan, the censor of Zuodu, is not as greedy as Fang Bin, he has done a lot of bad things over the years, and there is a lot of evidence about him collected here alone.

It is now May, and the dangers of rivers in various places are about to appear. Although cement has been used in recent years, many rivers have been dredged and reinforced, but it is not enough.

Gu Yu asked Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Guan, the censor of Zuodu, to go to the north and south respectively to supervise and prevent floods.After you eat, go to Jin Yiwei Yang Zhangde and ask him for some evidence about Liu Guan. I want you to clarify all the cases of Liu Guan's step by step into the abyss in these years within two months. Can you do it? "

Although Zhu Zhanji didn't say it, but now he wants to win the Zuodu Censor, let him host it. If he doesn't know that this is to make way for him, then he has lived for so many years in vain.

Speaking of which, although the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as good as the six ministers, it is a position that he likes more, because his specialty is investigating cases.

So he immediately knelt down and said: "I will be smashed to pieces, and I will die without regret."

"Gu likes to be reasonable and law-abiding. As long as you don't kill yourself and go astray, Gu will protect you for the rest of your life. You have to keep in mind that the investigation is to remove scars, but it cannot affect the safety of your body. "

Zhu Zhanji confessed again, and Li Qing really remembered it.Zhu Zhanji was very afraid that he, a fool, would cause chaos in the world in order to investigate the case. The investigation can be done, but it cannot affect the stability and development of Daming. This is more important than anything else.

After staying with Li Qing for lunch, Wang Yan also sent a messenger to Linzhou to deliver the order.

Zhu Zhanji didn't rest for a moment, so he arranged for the boat directly to go to the Xinjiangkou Navy.

The southerly trade wind came later this year, and the wind did not stabilize until May.The main reason is that the major food case in Shandong led to the rescheduling of the imperial government's grain adjustment, so the Second Fleet went out to sea to explore Dongzhou, which has been delayed until now.

America had to go. Without rubber, there would be no rubber wheels. This made Daming's transportation a bottleneck.

The carrying capacity of wooden wheels is limited, and a heavy carriage with six wheels can only carry about four thousand catties.In this way, the wheels are often damaged.

Today's post roads, national highways, there is a carriage repair shop at a certain distance, it is not enough without setting up.

With rubber wheels, the transportation capacity can be increased tenfold immediately. This kind of productivity utilization can free up a lot of manpower.

After taking a nap on the boat, when Zhu Zhanji arrived at the Xinjiangkou Navy, he became energetic again.

Here in the Xinjiangkou Navy, Meng Ying has already led the fleet to Nanzhou.The Xinjiangkou Navy is mainly commanded by Niu Zhuang, and is currently undergoing active training.
