Chapter 561 Chaotang Sings and Dingjing Banquet, Black-hearted Big Brother Signs the Contract

A few days later in the morning court, just after Xiao Jing sang the ceremony, Fang Zhi, Fang Xinzhi, stood up hurriedly!

"Your Majesty, Minister Fang Xinzhi! The debate on the Confucian classics of the empire is an unprecedented event in the founding of our empire..."

Except for Zhang Sheng and Zhang Qizhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who paid a little attention, the other ministries all had an expression of "you talk, let's listen".

Fang Xinzhi talked a lot, meaning:

Your Majesty!This thing is a grand event, a big event, and there are so many people here, I'm afraid the capital won't be able to hold it!

Besides, there must be rules for so many people discussing at the same time, right? !There must be a venue, right? !

It's not good for the safety of the palace if they are all piled up in the palace!

Hmm... Everyone nodded, that's the reason!

"... the new tribute court, I have visited many times and feel that it is very desirable to use it! However, if the tribute court is used for sutra banquet debates, it is still not enough..."

Everyone agrees on this point. In the case of the New Gongyuan, there are quite a few rooms for accommodation.

But they are all temporary accommodation for scholars and scholars who have traveled to the capital. Can't these great Confucians squeeze in there? !

Besides, doesn't the new Gongyuan still have to open courses now? !

Those great Confucian scholars have arrived in the capital one after another, and it is not enough to squeeze in!

"That's why, I invite you to build the 'Imperial Royal Sutra Banquet Hall' dedicated to this sutra banquet!"

Fang Xinzhi bowed down and said loudly, "This scripture banquet hall should be set up with the new Gongyuan!"

"In addition to this debate on the classics, there are also great Confucian scholars who come to the capital to teach what they have learned, and the capital and traveling scholars can go to listen to the lecture..."

When the officials in the hall heard it, they immediately felt: Yo~!This is not bad!

Many of these ministers have actually learned from the great Confucians, and they are all related to various schools of thought.

If my teacher's school has more influence, wouldn't it mean that my classmates will also increase? !

Speaking in the court hall by yourself has more weight!

Hmm... Mr. Xin is really old-fashioned in plotting the country!

"Let's all have a discussion!"

Emperor Hongzhi is as stable as an old dog... Bah!It is as stable as Mount Tai!

Sitting on the throne, he looked at the officials in the hall with a smile and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households received a total of 240 taels last year, which is strange..."

At this time, Zhong Zhong must stand up as the Minister of the Household Department, after all, this construction is related to his Ministry of Household Affairs!

His household department has to pay for it, how can it be repaired without paying? !

But the old guy bowed and said: "The grain harvest is 130 to [-] shi. The increase in the field has far exceeded that of the late emperor!"

If Zhang Xiaogong is here, he must be emotional, and his frenzy is finally not in vain.

Historically, in the 15th year of Hongzhi's reign, the land tax was 670 stones.

Banknote tariffs, commercial taxes, fishing classes... etc., totaling 9403 million taels.

There are various kinds of servitude and local tribute, and the calculation of the color is about 160 million taels of silver.

Rounding up and then deducting the book, and then talking about grandiose and useless principles.

After they were gone, the entire court officials basically had something to talk about and opinions to offer.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the affairs of the morning court were dealt with.

However, the officials who had not been home for a while soon discovered something.

This was only proposed in the morning court, and the regulations had already been issued or even passed in the morning court the next day!

The "Imperial National Honorary Hairpin and Tassel Product Breeding Association" composed of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Internal Treasury, and nobles from various families is responsible for funding the construction of the Sutra Banquet and Debate Hall.

The Construction Department of the Royal Ordnance Construction Bureau undertook the construction, and the Ministry of Industry supervised the construction and acceptance.

The Jingyan Debate is hosted by the Xiangxu Ministry of Teaching and Enlightenment, and supervised by the Ministry of Rites.

There are a lot of them, and it's obviously not something that can be done overnight!

Now the courtiers are all clear in their hearts, guessing that His Majesty, the cabinet, and even the Xiangxu Ministry of Education, Ministry of Households...etc have already made plans.

It's just that it was brought up in the court, and it was a matter of course to make a process.

It is a serious process, and the courtiers have nothing to say!

The candidates are not in the mood to pay attention to this matter now, why are they about to start a department!

Who cares about how to control the country, and now the labor and management are going to test their merits!

What is the purpose of studying hard in the cold window for many years, isn't it just for the title of the gold list, the title of the marquis and the prime minister? !

Does the debate on the feast have anything to do with us? !

Everyone is working hard in the new tribute courtyard right now, especially seeing that the other candidates are studying hard.

Who the hell is in the mood to run outside, wanting to lose his name and wait until he's graduated? !

"Hahaha... Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Zheng Ji, Minister of the Household Department, was blushing, representing that Zhang Heling of the Xungui family did not dare to take the big one and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Happy together! Happy together!"

On the contrary, Hong Zhong, Hong Xuanzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, frowned and sighed softly: "There is not enough manpower..."

"There are so many places to build, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower! If all the workers are hired, I'm afraid the money will be too much..."

Lao Hong can be regarded as "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes", ah, the old guy suffered from this loss back then.

In the 11th year of Hongzhi, he was promoted to the right deputy capital censor and governor Shuntian, and was responsible for rectifying the border preparations of Jizhou.

At that time, he checked the terrain and suggested building the canal, and Emperor Hongzhi agreed.

As a result, the start of work was not smooth, and the landslide crushed hundreds of forced laborers.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Shi Yi Fu, Ma Yucong, and Qu Shen...all officials impeached him, and they were almost killed.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi knew about this, and he really couldn't blame the old guy, so he was punished by suspending his salary for three months.

And his suggestion was put on hold, and the officials celebrated their victory again.

As for whether the capital's defense has been stripped off, they don't care at all.

"Hmm... What the two peaks said is very reasonable, but I don't know if there is any good strategy?!"

Old Zheng is also a veteran of the three dynasties, how can he not know that this guy will definitely respond to this suggestion.

"The Department of Supervision and Investigation under the Ministry of Criminal Justice has been established for some time, but it hasn't made any achievements, and the manpower is insufficient..."

Lao Hong is also an old eunuch, and now he heard the strings and knew the meaning: "Well...the surroundings of the capital are fine, but there are many bandits in Tongzhou and Shanxi!"

Crack down!We must crack down!If there is no crackdown, where will the free labor come from? !

Zhang Heling stood up quickly at this moment, sighed and said softly.

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, I think my family's servants often come and go, and they are often robbed!"

What he said made Lao Hong's eyelids twitch!

Straight girl thief!Does this mean that my Ministry of Criminal Justice is not effective in arresting thieves? !

Besides, your Zhang family's relatives don't say that they can beat and kill more than a hundred family members, but who would dare to embarrass them once the brand is hung? !

"As important ministers of the country, how can we ignore this?!"

Honestly speaking, instead of keeping all the thieves and bandits here to harm the common people, you might as well build the mountains and build houses!

Hmm... In the future, this group of people will also be able to use them for building roads and transporting rocks!

It can also be used casually and vigorously, the kind that you don’t need to be responsible for if you use it to death.

"Hehehe... Our family has also heard that many tyrants and scum in Tongzhou and Shanxi have a lot to do with thieves!"

The representative of Neiku is another student of Dai Yi, who is not even prominent in Ming history——Wang Xian.

Wang Xian, whose name is unknown, was named Wugang.

There are only miscellaneous notes that record that he is a disciple of Dai Yi, and he claims to learn piano from Dai Yi.

However, only a small number of people in the palace will know that he is the candidate chosen by Dai Yi to succeed the leader of the palace's "fighting internal supervisor".

Dai Yi has only two apprentices, one is Xiao Jing.

Skilled in bowing and horses, with outstanding literary talent, he stood by the side of two generations of emperors and was highly relied on.

The other person is Wang Xian and Wang Wugang, whose reputation is not obvious but is the most important line of defense in the palace.

"It's even rumored that there is a white lotus monster involved!!"

As soon as Wang Xian said this, Lao Zheng and Lao Hong couldn't help but stand on end!

Just kidding, this white lotus demon has been severely cracked down since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

When these words came out of Wang Xian's mouth, it was equivalent to killing people!

"The two adults can rest assured that our family has no intention of arresting them indiscriminately."

Wang Xian looked at them with a smile, and sighed softly: "To tell the truth, this time the fire siege hit the border, the last time Zhang Xiaogong was attacked in Jinyang..."

"There are the first and last of these white lotus monsters. Your Majesty has already known about this! That's why the factory guards were reorganized to investigate this matter."

"The purpose is not to be in vain or indulgence, and to wipe out all those thieves who are associated with the demon!"

Hearing that Emperor Hongzhi knew about this, Lao Zheng and Lao Hong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Lao Hong rolled his eyes: "What Lord Wugang said is absolutely true! Some monsters must be punished!!"

Wahahahaha...the coolie is here!And Er Niangzhi!It's time for my Ministry of Criminal Justice to develop!

"Mr. Shuangfeng's words are reasonable, and some local tycoons said by Lord Wugang must also be taken!"

Old Zheng's eyes are also shining, you are a straight mother thief!

After checking them, isn't the old man's household department able to increase the number of acres? !

check!Must check!Must be strictly investigated!

Old Zheng felt ruthless in his heart, and nodded to Hong Zhong: Lord Shuangfeng, don't be lenient!

Don't worry, Mr. Ting Gang, the old man also needs manpower here!

Hong Zhong nodded firmly, and then the two looked at Wang Xian.

Our family is here to talk to the two adults about this matter, if there are people in the imperial court and official circles who obstruct...

Knock it!That is the sworn enemy of our household department and criminal department! !

Zhang Heling let out a sigh of relief, cheap labor is finally available!

It doesn't matter if you die!The more the better! !

Chapter 562 The New Year is Snowing in Beijing, and Tongzhou Is Bitingly Cold

In the 15th year of Hongzhi, the veil was finally lifted shyly, and most of the candidates from all over the world gathered in the capital.

With the new Gongyuan, more scholars arrived in the capital ahead of schedule.

It's just different from the past. Since the Tang Bohu imperial examination fraud case in the 12th year of Hongzhi, no one has dared to run around in the capital.

The Ministry of Etiquette began to supervise and manage the candidates, and if they haunted brothels and restaurants before the exam, they would be unrestrained.
