Domineering Daming

After a while, Zhou Yingqiu settled his mind, looked at Shen Xun and said, "The prison director of the Ministry of Punishment started to spread from Shuntian Mansion, and the first stop was Hejian Mansion to investigate everything about Liu Fengzhong. Don't be vague, just in time It was announced in the newspaper that regarding Li Banghua, the Ministry of Punishment sent a letter to Shaanxi to ask Li Banghua to give an explanation, and then write to him if there is any problem. Li Banghua is a great official in the frontier and an important minister of the court. Without sufficient evidence, he must not move easily..."

Shen Xun listened to Zhou Yingqiu's words, pondered carefully, his eyes lit up and said: "It's Zhou Shangshu who has a way, okay, I'll order people to go to Hejian Mansion tomorrow, set up a prison department, and start an investigation."

If Zhou Yingqiu doesn't speak, this matter will not be resolved after all, and his method of delaying won't last long.

Shen Xun left excitedly, Zhou Yingqiu groaned, summoned a servant, and said: "You go to Shuntian Mansion and pass a few words to me."

"It's the master." The servant said.

Looking at the dim moonlight, Wei Zhongxian slowly said: "First: Shuntian Mansion must complete the requirements of the 'New Deal' as soon as possible, don't focus on one thing and lose another, and understand the center of government affairs."

"Second: The 'tax reform' matter can be put aside, don't worry."

"Third: Concentrate on government affairs, don't think about what you shouldn't, and don't meddle in what you shouldn't manage."

The servant waited for a while, and seeing that Zhou Yingqiu had stopped talking, he said, "Yes, I'll go now, little one."

Zhou Yingqiu had another idea in his mind, but he finally swallowed it back.

The core of this storm is the Shuntian Mansion. No matter what happens, the Shuntian Mansion cannot fall, and the government affairs in Beizhili cannot be messed up.

"I hope that what I do is useful." Zhou Yingqiu's tone was indifferent, but his eyes were shining brightly.

This is a big crisis, but after it is endangered, it will be the bright future that the emperor said!

Chapter 614 The Truth

With the "magic weapon" given by King Jing, Chen Qiyu was no longer afraid of those officials and gentry, so she closed the door and slept at home with peace of mind.

He hasn't slept soundly for a long time, he sleeps in a side room, alone, and tells the servants not to disturb, he wants to have a good sleep.

But not long after, he was awakened by a servant knocking anxiously on the door.

He came out with a cold face, looked at the servant at the door and said, "What's going on so late?"

The family Ding looked slightly flustered, and hurriedly said: "Master, Zhou Shangshu sent someone to deliver a few words."

Chen Qiyu's confused mind suddenly became clear. Zhou Yingqiu is a special person, and his words need to be taken seriously.

"What?" Chen Qiyu asked.

Chen Qiyu frowned at the servant's word for word. What did Zhou Yingqiu's words mean?Are you saying that he is chasing after the end?Or is it that the direction of government affairs in Shuntian Mansion is about to change?

Zhou Yingqiu's words seemed simple, but in fact they were so cloudy that he couldn't figure it out.

Chen Qiyu waved back, closed the door and entered the room again, this time, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Zhou Yingqiu is the emperor's confidant, and he has been in the court for many years. His words are definitely not aimless, and they must have something to imply.

He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and didn't fall asleep again until dawn, and he realized something when he got up.

Chen Qiyu urgently summoned the officials of Shuntian Mansion to discuss seriously and assign tasks. The core is two words - "low-key". He asked Shuntian Mansion to change its direction and implement the court's "New Deal". Let it go.

Chen Qiyu's words alerted Chen Suowen, Chu Zongxian and others that they were indeed careless, and their reckless promotion of "tax reform" might become a target for others.

The actions of Shuntian Mansion became quiet in an instant, every move, especially the government affairs, was kept low-key, even the affairs of the Secretary of Prisons and the Governor's Council were carried out quietly, without spreading them out in a big way.

The six ministries and the cabinet are all the same. Except for the long and tiresome introductions and promotion of the New Deal, the newspapers have very little other information.

Although Liu Fengzhong's case sparked heated discussions in the capital, due to the impeccable handling of the case by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there has been no major reaction for the time being.

The East Factory was originally very quiet. After arresting Liu Fengzhong, the gate was closed tightly without making a sound.

The huge capital city, like boiling water that has just boiled, calmed down strangely.

The calmer it is, the more perilous people feel the danger!

Starting from Liu Zongzhou, some great Confucian scholars and celebrities left Beijing one after another, and those big merchants also transferred their business by coincidence, and fled from Beizhili. Their sense of smell was terrible.

In the evening, Zhu Xu and others stood in front of a ridged field.

Zhu Xu held a dry, flat and yellow rice stalk in his hand, with a heavy expression on his face.

The ground is very dry, dust can be raised with one foot, and the soil cracks can be seen in the rice fields. The rice seedlings in the hands are not only lack of water, but also have signs of insect bites.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this servant has asked someone to inquire about it. It has not rained in Tai'an for more than a month, and locusts are still raging."

King Ping folded his hands on his belly, looked at a piece of field, and said: "Your Majesty, the son of King Lu gave a report to his ministers a month ago, saying that Yanzhou is suffering from severe drought this year, and the harvest may be reduced by more than [-]%."

Zhu Xu nodded silently, and walked in the long distance, observing carefully.

"Stop, who are you?" Suddenly, a few teenagers jumped out of the ditch not far away, holding sticks in their hands, and they all looked at Zhu Xu and the group of people with vigilance.

King Ping glanced at Zhu Xu, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are from the capital, passing by here, want to drink water here?"

The leader was a 15-year-old boy, dressed in tatters, with a large chest exposed, and his face was dark. He stared at Zhu Xu and the group for a while and said, "Let's go, there is no water here, follow the path when you came here. Road, about five miles is the town."

Zhu Xu looked at the fields with worried eyes.There is no sign of a bumper harvest at all, and they are all sick. I am afraid that a reduction of [-]% will be small.

Zhu Xu didn't care about the young man's words, and asked directly: "How much land does your family have, and how much food can you leave in a year?"

The young man's face changed drastically, he pointed at Zhu Xu with a wooden stick and shouted angrily, "Who are you?"

Zhu Xu frowned, the young man was a bit too vigilant.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, bandits have always been infested in the Shandong realm. Not long ago, bandits came here."

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back and remained silent.

Even if he has exhausted his efforts in the past five years, he still has a long way to go to change Daming...

The drought is getting worse, and there are more and more bandits. If they gather together, they will become an "uprising". From south to north, from big to small, there is no pure land.

"After all, it's still slow..."

Zhu Xu sighed softly in his heart, everyone said he was too impatient, could he not be in a hurry?

Now Daming seems to be stable, because he has gathered a large amount of money and food support by means of "robbing". This method is not sustainable. As the disaster worsens, everyone will lose weight, and the thinnest will be the court.Once the treasury is empty, the consequences will be even more terrifying than in history. It is impossible to say that the power that has been forcibly piled up will collapse in an instant!

Zhu Xu shook his head inwardly, when it comes to reasoning, he is no better than one of the adults in the court, no matter how worried he is, no matter how much he talks, they are all based on what they see and hear It is getting more and more difficult to find someone who agrees with him.

"Let's go." Zhu Xu knew that it would not be easy to learn something from the young man.

The teenagers were still very wary of Zhu Xu and his group, even if they didn't look like bandits.

After walking for a while, Zhu Xu turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Send a few more people out to find out the specific situation, and don't disturb the place, I want to see the truth."

Cao Huachun understood that the emperor felt that he had been fooled, so he bowed and said, "Yes."
