I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Now that you have become an official, you must be serious and responsible, and if you are afraid of trouble, you should go home. There is a shortage of everything in the world, but there is no shortage of people who want to be an official.

The huge phalanx quickly divided into hundreds of teams. Looking at the long line of people who came to complain and the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who were waiting, their faces were so bitter that they almost dripped juice.

After being officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for so long, they have never found it so difficult to try a case.

It can be said that today is the biggest test they have faced since they became officials. If they make a mistake and get downgraded by one level, they will go to prison when the downgrade becomes impossible.

This fucker is simply terrific.

Although I feel bitter, the case still needs to be tried.

Hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Punishment, each of them had a thick copy of the Law of the Ming Dynasty on their desks.

In the past, when they tried cases, they would commit crimes according to the criminal law in memory. Sometimes even if they made a mistake, as long as it was not a major problem, no one would care.

But it can't work today, there are people from Jinyiwei and Yushitai watching, these two departments are terrible departments.

But the emperor's grandson ordered that if something goes wrong in the case, the three people in charge of the case will be punished.

In order not to be punished, Jin Yiwei and Yu Shitai must have kept a close eye on the officials of the Criminal Department who were presiding over the trial.

Therefore, for the sake of their own official luck and life, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice could only try one case at a time, and then they were forced to read the laws of Ming Dynasty.

Even if I remember it clearly in my mind, I still have to turn it over.

Open it and take a look, for fear that if you make a mistake in a word, it will bring disaster.

Time passed slowly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

Due to the fact that there are too many people who have filed complaints and registered, many people have not yet received food.

Zhu Zhangui was afraid that one or two of these hungry victims who could not walk would starve to death during this period and cause some trouble, so he ordered the establishment of porridge sheds to prepare lunch for the victims.

With the previous disaster relief experience, it was much easier to do things this time.

Thousands of yamen servants, along with the registered peasant women, began to cook porridge beside the team.

In order to let these people who have been hungry for an unknown number of days soak up some oil, so that the porridge will not disappear after drinking.

Zhu Zhangui took out some canned meat and chopped them into pieces and mixed them into the porridge.

Smelling the porridge exuding a strong fragrance, the hungry and dizzy victims kept swallowing wildly.

That is to say, Zhu Zhangui won their hearts, and coupled with the threat of officers and soldiers patrolling in the team, no one dared to rush out and grab them.

Otherwise, the porridge would probably be snatched up before it was cooked.

"On the third day of June this year, when Qin Shu, a household official in Soochow County, went to the countryside to collect taxes, he took a fancy to the daughter of Old Man Liu, and then took her away to offset the tax on the grounds that Old Man Liu had not paid enough taxes. Later, his body was found in a mass grave, his limbs were broken and his lower body was torn, and he was suspected to have been tortured to death.”

"On the eighth day of July last year, the magistrate of a certain county took bribes from a certain landlord and imprisoned the brother of the farmer who had clashed with the landlord. It is a contract for a certain landlord to purchase the land of a certain farmer for ten fen.”

"Chen Sanniang declared that in the middle of the first month of this year, she was arrested and sent to the county yamen's women's prison for some trivial matters. Because of her beauty, she was abused by the jailer, followed by other female prisoners in the prison, and was used by the yamen servants as a prostitute, openly collecting money and various items. , Let outsiders enter the prison, bully and torture them, female prisoners are tortured to death every day, and after they are released, they are also infected with the disease of willows!"

"During the winter of the twelfth lunar month last year, Yunchang County..."

At noon, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who temporarily suspended the trial, presented the case registered and recorded this morning to Zhu Zhangui.

Looking at the dossier that was a foot thick, Zhu Zhangui's eyes were frighteningly cold.

This is only one morning, and there are still endless people waiting in line to appeal for their grievances.

There are also those who are still on their way, or who will not come.

If they were all recorded, I'm afraid it wouldn't fit in a room.

Take out a few sheets at random, and the records on the file are all serious cases of human life.

The only case that was not a homicide case was a case that severely slapped the court in the face.

It's hard for Zhu Zhangui to imagine that in a women's cell in a yamen, the female prisoners inside have become tools for the jailers to make money and vent their desires.

Damn it, is it still a yamen? A den of bandits is better than this.

"hehe…"

Staring at the large stack of files in front of him, Zhu Zhangui suddenly laughed.

His smile was terribly cold, and his face was even more murderous.

Behind him, the Shandong officials, who were still sweating in the lunar new moon, were already trembling under the influence of their calves.

Everyone was crying in despair.

It's over now.

In particular, the magistrates of those county yamen that Zhu Zhangui just read out were paralyzed to the ground, so frightened that they shitted and peed.

Chapter 288: Grandpa, why is it winter, father and mother are still beating mosquitoes in the room.

"Brothers!"

"Hey!"

"Come on!"

"Hey young!"

"Eat after pulling this cart!"

"Hey!"

"What's for lunch!"

"Canned meat!"

"There is also a white steamed bun!"

"........."

Next to Jinanfu Railway Station, tens of thousands of people are working.

The workers chanted, and under the command of each craftsman, they pulled the stones and stones loaded on the sled to the designated position.

The weather is very cold, and the dripping water turns into ice, but the workers are working hard.

Especially not far away, the smoke from the kitchen and the scent that came out stimulated their enthusiasm even more.

The snow in Shandong this year is later than in previous years.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow fell, and Shandong was covered with silver overnight.

In the past seasons when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, the common people would stay at home and rely on firewood to keep warm. The whole family huddled together, covered with old quilts, and survived the severe winter with difficulty.

But this year is different.

There is no food or drink at home. If you don't participate in the work organized by the court, the whole family will starve.

Although the imperial court has basic relief food, it is distributed according to the population, and it can only guarantee that they will not starve to death. If they want to feed the old family, they can only work in the cold winter.

And more importantly, when participating in the work of the imperial court, the imperial court has three meals a day, not only every meal is full, but also a meaty meal at noon.

In this way, the young and strong can eat at the construction site, and the family can save a lot of food.

This work-for-relief work is mainly responsible for leveling the land of Shandong, and the future railway trunk lines and traffic arteries.

Now the cement factory of the imperial court has been officially put into production. In addition to providing the trains there, there is still a lot of output from the factory.

After Zhu Zhangui's planning, the construction of cement roads started from Shandong, and at the same time, the train tracks should run through the entire Shandong.

In Zhu Zhangui's plan, Daming's future train track will have a well-shaped main line.

Vertically, it leads to Guangdong Chaozhou Prefecture in the south and reaches the bank of Yinma River in the north. If you want to build northward in the future, you can continue to lengthen it.

The main purpose of this railway line is to allow the imperial court's troops to quickly deploy to the north and south to deal with various accidents.

As long as this railway line continues, the transportation and logistics supply of the army will be greatly enhanced in the future.

Moreover, due to the short transportation time, a large amount of logistics food will not be consumed on the road, which greatly saves the court's expenses.

On the other side, the vertical line of the well starts from Langjuxu Mountain, and it is built horizontally to the south. As for how far it can be built, it depends on the ability of the Daming Craftsman Camp.

The reason for saying this is because most of this horizontal railway is in mountainous forest areas, and the difficulty of building it has increased several times.

The well-shaped upward and horizontal route starts from Turpan, passes through the land of Shaanxi and Shanxi, then reaches Shandong, and goes directly to Weihaiwei on the seashore.

The reason for building this road is that a large amount of coal will be needed after the train is opened. There is coal in Shanxi, and there are train tracks, which can facilitate the transportation of coal to various places in Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, this road is the last line of protection for Ming Dynasty. To the north are the Great Wall checkpoints. Once the grassland cannot be defended, this will be the last position of resistance for Ming Dynasty.

If train tracks are built here, it will be much more convenient for the Ming army to go into battle in the future.

The bottom starts from Fujian and leads horizontally to the plateau, completely connecting the East and West of the Ming Dynasty.

With this tic-tac-toe route, the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely under the control of the imperial court.

If there is a disturbance somewhere, the imperial court will send troops to suppress it, and it will arrive within a few days.

This tic-tac-toe line will be the foundation of Daming's country in the future.

With this route, no matter where accidents occur in the north, south, west, east, the imperial court can quickly grasp and control them.

In addition to railways, cement, asphalt roads, and even expressways are also in Zhu Zhangui's plan.

But now Daming has not yet exploited oil, and there is no asphalt for the time being, so Zhu Zhangui decided to lay cement roads first, and the first pilot he chose was Shandong.

Shandong has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. With a very convenient road to travel, the imperial court will have stricter control over this place.

Moreover, the central power of the imperial court will move to the north in the future. If the land of Shandong can be developed, it will also be of great benefit to the imperial court.

After all, isn’t it true that if you want to get rich, build roads first? If you don’t have any roads, you can’t get things out, and you can’t get rich if you want to be rich.

In addition, Shandong is close to the sea, and many seafood that could not be transported to the inland before can be quickly put into the inland market.

In this way, Shandong can also rely on the seafood economy to slowly recover from natural disasters.

There are also various agricultural product industries. Zhu Zhangui will also send agricultural experts from the artisan camp next year to sign in various parts of Shandong to guide the local people in planting.

The two-way development of seafood agriculture, Zhu Zhangui does not believe that within 10 years, the land of Shandong will not recover.

The only thing that makes Zhu Zhangui a little regretful is that it is not the best choice to build roads now because it is winter and it is time for the mountains to be closed by heavy snow.

But with so many victims, it's not a problem if they don't do anything just to feed them.

Once a person is full, he will think about some messy things in his mind, and at the same time, his heart is also the most empty time.

If at this time, the White Lotus Sect, which has just been suppressed a little bit, makes trouble again, it will be in big trouble.

Therefore, for the sake of the imperial court and the victims, Zhu Zhangui asked the victims to level the road first, and transport various necessary items such as stones and sand to various places, and wait for the next spring to start farming before officially starting the road construction project.

Zhu Zhangui's plan is to build a connected concrete road between several prefectures and cities in Shandong next year to ensure that the imperial court first controls several large cities.

Then the various counties below, according to the main roads of Fucheng, branched and connected together.

The road is smooth, and all aspects of business will gradually develop. Even if Shandong encounters difficulties again in the future, it can rely on itself to survive slowly.

"Woooooooo..."

The whistle of the train woke up Zhu Zhangui's thoughts. He looked back at the busy construction site in the distance, wrapped his cloak around his body, and boarded the train going south.

Since the opening of the train, the old man has accelerated the process of moving the capital.

Before there were no trains, all the departments of the imperial court had to be relocated by horse-drawn people. More importantly, the roads were not easy to walk, and it was better on sunny days. When it rained or snowed, it was a crime.

But it's different now. With the train, everything is very convenient.

Zhu Zhangui heard that in order to grab a seat on the train and load their own department's stuff, all the departments almost did it.

Xia Yuanji, an old man, used finances as a threat to forcefully occupy 1/3 of the carriage.

Although everyone was a little upset about this, they also understood in their hearts. After all, the Ministry of Accounting has the most things among all departments.

After less than half a month, the trains were running day and night, all the departments of the imperial court had almost been relocated, and Beiping had begun to slowly take over the command of Jinling.

However, in order to prevent the turmoil caused by moving the capital, the old man still let Zhu Pangpang stay in Jinling temporarily, and gave Zhu Pangpang the rights of the emperor.

In order to let his fat son not think too much, and take over the commanding power with peace of mind, the old man also spoke very caringly.

He will retire after working for one year next year, and you will be the throne the year after next. Anyway, it is yours, and you are only short of a title. If you take over as soon as possible, you will be used to it.

Poor Zhu Pangpang, who was so painful and happy, was left in Jinling by the old man, accompanied by a group of old guys, and forced to take over the rest of the work.

But fortunately there is a big festival this year, the old man didn't plan to celebrate the New Year in the north, he set off from Beiping yesterday, and the ministers who just moved there returned to Jinling before their buttocks were warmed up.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Zhangui had just boarded the train, and the little snot waiting at the door quickly greeted him.
