It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

A group of people set off from the capital and went directly to the southernmost city. Most of the south is suitable for terraced fields.Wu Daicheng led people to open up wasteland, and then explained carefully to the local people how to manage the terraced fields well, how to divert water, and how to make the plants grow better. In addition to helping the local people, he also went to find various crops that are not available in the north. , Lin Jishan and the three children he brought also followed, not to mention, Wu Daicheng really found a lot of things, even the locals didn't know that they could be used as food crops.Wu Daicheng recorded the crops by category, which made Lin Jishan draw the crops.Originally, the group planned to return to Beijing in one year, but they returned to Beijing in one year, but they just went back to spend the new year, and then continued.

After returning to Beijing and staying for less than a month, I learned everything I should know. Lin Jishan occupies the position of Minister of Finance, but he is not there all day. Those who ask for money will soon flatten the office, let alone impeachment. However, the emperor never mentioned the words of dismissing the official. After a long time, the ministers finally understood that they could not move Lin Jishan, but the financial affairs should not be left alone, and the emperor also understood, so he handed over the financial affairs to the third prince Even so, there are still some blind ministers who can't see the situation clearly, and Shangzhe said that the prince should not be in charge of practical affairs.The third prince manages the money, it’s just a little stronger than before when he couldn’t ask for money. The military expenses are paid happily, and the Ministry of Industry asks money for research. , but if it is a person who uses money to calculate the national treasury under various banners, the third prince will not disagree, and directly say that it will be audited, re-examined, and left to the emperor to decide, and the emperor has not yet approved... Such words drag , Want to build relationships and put on an official position?Don't even look at who is holding the seal and wants to bribe?I don't even look at who is the richest in the whole country.As a result, in less than half a year, the financial payment was less than half of the same period in previous years. Looking at the amount of silver deposits in the treasury, the third prince was very happy, and the emperor's face turned black, and then there was another big and small cleanup. When the officials ransacked the house, the guards looked at the boxes of silver calmly. From the anger at the beginning, to the complete lack of expression in the end, the servants in the financial department counted the money until they were soft, and when they all finished counting the total When he saw the total amount, he had to confirm it several times before he dared to hand it over to the third prince. Those who went there were terrified, fearing that the third prince would be angry on the spot and he would be affected.

On the carriage leaving Beijing, Wu Daicheng and Lin Jishan were talking about the affairs in the capital, and the three children who followed looked like they were playing, but they were actually listening with their ears upright. Li Jin coaxed Qingfeng, and Li Cong sat far away from Wu Daicheng. Recently, the last time he left Beijing, he saw the sentiments of the people that he could not know in Beijing. After returning to Beijing, he looked at the notebooks sent by the southern courtiers in the father's case. Li Cong was very angry. Why did the notebooks sent by the courtiers differ from what he saw? , It is clear that the weather is good, but there are many disasters. In some places, the people are miserable, but the papers that come up are full of food and clothing. Why do the courtiers know that they are deceiving the emperor?Li Cong asked his father, but his father only said to let him go out, walk more, see more and listen to what the master said, seeing and hearing may not be the truth, Li Cong wanted to ask this question immediately when he came out this time, and wanted Xianhe to answer him. But when he heard Mr. Lin talking about corrupt officials, Lin Cong didn't speak. He also wanted to know Mr. Lin's opinion on this matter.

"I saw the third prince's complexion a few years ago, and I sighed for a long time when I mentioned this matter. Among the corrupt officials, there are many heroes who helped the emperor ascend the throne. There are also honest officials who are praised by the people, and there are even clean officials. I think these people are unexpected by the third prince. , When it was reported, there were even more doubts among the common people, if all honest officials are corrupt, are there any officials who are not corrupt?" Lin Jishan sighed after finishing speaking.

"If there are polls, I am afraid that the loyalty of the emperor's people will be very low." Wu Daicheng is not afraid that the two princes around him will be the mouthpiece, "The emperor has already started to set up a supervision and audit department, and a series of reform measures will be promoted step by step this year. Although the generation of corrupt officials cannot be killed, but there are tortures and examples, they will behave with their tails between their legs for a period of time."

"Father was appointed as the head of the inspection team. The first batch of inspection teams left Beijing soon. The members were all people without any status and background. Among them were many soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. They probably hated corrupt officials the most. Yes." Lin Jishan mentioned the secret conversation between his father and him, "They brought a lot of money for this visit, and if what the whistleblower reported is true, there will be a lot of money rewarded, should we go too?"

"Master Lin, how much money is missing? The money donated by our family every year is no less than what my father brings out." Wu Daicheng rolled his eyes, "Is the fourth prince unidentified?" Wu Daicheng really wanted to teach all the ways of future generations To the prince, but there are many dark places in future generations, and he doesn't understand everything, so he can only talk about what he thinks is useful.

"Sir, what if the common people don't dare to report because they are worried that the officials will retaliate against them? What if the officials are clear and honest, so what if some people lie about it for their own sake?" Li Cong immediately asked his doubts. The law is good, and if it can be done well, it will surely benefit the people.

After listening to Li Cong's question, Wu Daicheng sighed that the prince's education was different. He felt that when he was a child, he thought long enough and thought enough. "Once there are people who report, they must be monitored. How can they be allowed to do anything? If they do something wrong, it shows that they are guilty. The people who go to inspect are not their own weapons. If they are not investigated and cleared, they will I have lost the name of inspection, and now I am only worried that the real people will not dare." Wu Daicheng held Lin Jishan's outstretched hand, and then did not continue the matter.In his letter to his father, Li Cong mentioned the content of today's chat, and expressed concern about what Mr. Wu said.

The small town that the group went to this time is close to other countries, the scenery is very good, and the local people seem to have enough food and clothing, but after seeing the things grown locally, Wu Daicheng became angry, and took people straight to the county government, almost giving the county government smashed.Whether it was Lin Jishan or the children who followed Wu Daicheng, it was the first time they saw Wu Daicheng look so angry.After rushing into the county mansion, the emperor and the third prince sent guards to protect several people along the way. Wu Daicheng asked people to detain the county magistrate without saying a word. The people who followed were puzzled, but still followed Wu Daicheng's words After doing it, Wu Daicheng spread out the paper and quickly wrote a letter, which was sent to Beijing immediately.

What is written in the letter may be considered alarmist, but in Wu Daicheng's view, if it is not stopped, it is likely to happen in the near future.When Wu Daicheng wrote the letter, the hand holding the pen was trembling, and after writing the letter, he locked himself in the room.Wu Daichen in the room communicated with the system. He didn’t know when the poppies entered the country. When he saw such a large area of ​​poppies, Wu Daichen’s first reaction was poison. How harmful this kind of thing is, Wu Daichen can list it without thinking carefully. One after another, if it is small, it will harm the people, and if it is large, it will damage the state.The system's answer is very simple. He doesn't know if there are any inwards, but most of the poppies planted by the side mirror are exported, but no one can guarantee that there will be unscrupulous people who will do other things.

"Maybe I overreacted, but because of the unknown possibility, it is absolutely impossible to plant on a large scale." Wu Daicheng stood with his hands behind his back.

The people outside the house were in a hurry, and Lin Jishan saw the letter sent to the capital. Li Cong read it when the guards were about to send it away. After reading it, Li Cong clenched his fists. The matter is too serious, the husband will not use the people around him, and I have not seen him use the guards throughout the last year. Even in very difficult times, he was besieged by the people, said all kinds of nasty things to the husband, and was kicked out of the village by the villagers. If it hadn't been for the good harvest of the villagers who heard from Mr. later, I am afraid that Mr. would not have been attacked by the villagers' distrust, but even so, Mr. did not let the guards move, and explained to the villagers very patiently.Li Cong clenched his fists and called the guards to judge the county magistrate. He wanted to know who agreed to let the villagers grow poppies. He had noticed that many villages had planted harmful things. He didn't believe that the county magistrate would not know and planted poppies. Where did everything go.For some reason, Li Cong thought of the excerpts he saw when he was in the capital. It was clearly written that the weather was good, but it was written that he had suffered a disaster and asked for a reduction in taxes and relief money.Thinking of this, Li Cong clenched his small fists, knowing whose pocket the relief money went into without even thinking about it.Li Cong looked at the closed door, this matter must be investigated carefully.

Qingfeng didn't know why his father locked himself in the house, at first he didn't care, but after a long time when he didn't see his father, Qingfeng became unhappy, kept banging on the door, calling "Daddy".Wu Daicheng in the room calmed down, he knew he was impulsive, but he didn't regret it.Opening the door, Wu Daicheng picked up his son, looked at Lin Jishan with an anxious face, "I made you worry."

"It's good that you are fine. No matter what you decide, I will support you. If the emperor blames you, we will bear it together." Lin Jishan held Wu Daicheng's hand, "You haven't eaten all day, I will let the kitchen warm the food, first Eat some, let's stay here first, and check the situation while waiting for the emperor's reply."

Wu Daichen could only nod his head, he was indeed hungry, and the children, looking at his son with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, Wu Daichen wished he could strangle himself to death, whether he was angry or entangled, he couldn't wrong the children, "Qingfeng, Dad I apologize to you, and it will never happen again."

Li Jin and Li Cong stood aside and looked at the husband with envy in their hearts. They had never heard their father, mother and concubine speak softly.
