As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"These are the young master's clothes. Remember to put them at the bottom after washing and drying, because the young master will only wear the top one..."

"Uh-huh!"

Hua Manlou was at a loss: To be fair, who would look for clothes from under the cabinet?

"When it's hot, remember to change into thinner clothes, and when it's cold, remember to wear thicker clothes. If the young master goes to the palace, remember to take the python robe from the cabinet next to it. Don't wear it wrong."

"Uh-huh!"

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes: I still understand this, right?I am not stupid!

"There is also this cabinet, these are for wiping your face, these are for your hands, these are for your body..."

"Uh-huh!"

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded: Didn't everyone say 'A man wears a handkerchief, wipe it from head to crotch'?Why do I have so many towels?And the styles don't seem to be much different, how do you distinguish them?

Hua Manlou looked at Qin'er with a dull face and explained to Xiao Bei what she should do if she wanted to marry far away, and suddenly regretted that she had fooled Qin'er into planting some fruit trees.

It's not because Xiaobei might be unreliable and can't take care of himself well, but because he suddenly has the illusion that he is not as important as melons and fruits—look at Qin'er, it's as if he doesn't care about everything at home because of this thing, outrageous Very!

In the end, Hua Manlou couldn't take it anymore, pulled Qin'er up and left: "It's almost done, you're not going to live in the house anymore, you have plenty of time to teach her!"

As Qin'er walked, she turned her head and instructed: "Be careful not to use them together! And...and the obscene pants that need to be changed every day, and the footwear too..."

I'm sure, if this little girl is not going to plant trees, Huamanlou will become a waste with zero life skills in a few years -- of course, although it doesn't look much better now, but go out anyway when……

When I went out, it seemed that Miss Baimao and Jiu'er were handling these things?

Hua Manlou fell into deep thought.

With Qin'er's joining, the research and development work of the Agricultural College gradually entered the right track.

Because there are not many potatoes and corn seeds, and the daily watering, weeding and fertilization does not require so many people, Huamanlou divided the existing staff into four groups: the potato group and the corn group each have several old farmers and several Scholars are in charge. Because the old crops were not recorded or categorized before, a few nearby farmers were hired to take care of them. Only one old farmer can keep an eye on them every day, and the rest will be assigned to Qin'er, who will be in charge of tinkering with melons. fruit.

It's almost May, and right now there is nothing to do with grafting or new planting of fruit trees, so Qin'er plans to start with watermelons first. At this time, there are still some late-maturing varieties that can make do with it. Accumulate some experience and run in the team. It will be September and February and March next year when this team will show its talents-Huamanlou promised to build an experimental greenhouse for Qin'er in September, and February and March are exactly A good time to graft fruit trees...

Unlike the old farmers, Qin'er decided on the research and development project early on, and her dedication to fruit made Hua Manlou feel sweaty - this is a ruthless person who planted trees by himself in order to eat delicious fruits!

The start of the agricultural college is slow, just like planting a seed and waiting for it to take root and germinate. After setting up the research and development process, determining the manpower and the projects in charge, there is no need to worry about spending a lot of time, just wait for the final result.

……

On the first day of May, Xu Dacheng wandered to Xishan.

The first time he saw this dead eunuch, Hua Manlou was overjoyed: "Xu Banban, are you... beaten by your mother-in-law?"

As a celebrity by the emperor's side, although Xu Dacheng is a dead eunuch, he will always maintain his demeanor as the prime minister in his daily life, but what should I say about his dignity today, it is as if his eyes are being looked at by his wife He punched him twice hard and then scratched his face a few times, which looked quite funny.

By the way, don’t think that eunuchs don’t marry wives anymore. Historically, there are many eunuchs who married wives, and there were even some who respected each other as guests. The evening activities were also very special.

Xu Dacheng, who was originally calm, turned dark instantly when he heard the words: "Master Hou, let's accumulate some virtue with your mouth!"

Hua Manlou cheerfully asked: "Sit down, how did you get into this?"

It's okay not to mention this, but Xu Dacheng jumped up as if someone touched his ass when he said it: "Master Hou, it's just that you judge our family, and you say that our family is not wronged!"

Seeing him like this, Hua Manlou felt happier for some reason: "Xiaobei? Xiaobei! Serve tea, what are you doing in a daze? By the way, bring me some melon seeds to hear the story... Cough, what happened to Xu Banban? Injustice, go and go!"

Xu Dacheng's face turned darker.

After a while, amidst Xu Dacheng's accusation mixed with curses and abuse, Hua Manlou finally figured out what happened - the matter still had to start with Zhao Ren.

The incident in Lanzhou Mansion is still vivid in his mind. After Xiongzi returned to Beijing, although Huamanlou brought down Liu Chao through the small-scale reform of the imperial examination, he has always taken the reform of the bureaucracy into his heart. Didn't come to Xishan - you know, there are not only all kinds of new things he has been thinking about here, but also Jin'er that he has been thinking about. Just because he didn't go back to Xishan, it is enough to show how much the Prince Zhao was stimulated in Lanzhou Mansion up.

So even though Hua Manlou ran away directly, Zhao Ren still felt that he should try it first, and then find Hua Manlou for help when it really failed, so he started to solve the corruption problem according to his own thinking.

Zhao Ren soon encountered two problems: who will investigate?How to check?

Zhao Ren didn't trust the censors. He himself was often picked on by the censors, let alone asking them to investigate the officials?So I searched around: Oh, isn't there a factory guard here?

Comparing the two sides, Zhao Ren felt that Lu Kun was more cowardly, so Xu Dacheng soon received a note from the East Palace: Investigate corrupt officials!

To be honest, the first time Xu Dacheng received the news, he wanted to scold his mother: Your Majesty doesn't like the factory guards, and the East Factory has been idle for 15 years. At this point, you want the East Factory to investigate corrupt officials?What about trouble?Moreover, the water in the capital is muddy, and when the lid is lifted, some ghosts and monsters may jump out. If this is a mess, will our family still survive?

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t check, Xu Dacheng knew what Emperor Guangxing’s plan was, so after hesitating for a while, he ordered Dongchang to cooperate with the prince’s actions. Toss around.

But...

661. Kill This Turtle Grandson!

To put it simply, Zhao Ren played a bit too big this time, so that on this day, the civil servants once again recalled the fear of being murdered by Dongchang.

Factory guards, factory guards, there is no reason for the factory to be in the vanguard and behind, because the Dongchang has been the superior organization of Xuanwuwei since the day it appeared.

Like the Ming Dynasty, Dazhao didn’t have an East Factory at the beginning, and like the Ming Dynasty, when Xuanwuwei was first formed, it was the same as Jinyiwei, in fact, it was to deal with some unclean things for Taizu and deal with some disobedient people. Yes——the two patriarchs were quite suspicious. They guessed that the first thought when they got up every morning was 'there are troublemakers who want to harm me', so they made such a notorious spy agency come out.

In the beginning, the Xuanwu Guards were the same as the Jin Yiweis, and they actually had a lot of authority. The Son of Heaven was close to the army, so naturally he didn’t need to explain to anyone when he did things, right?

However, there will naturally be problems with too much power, especially when they have the same law enforcement power as the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, it is easy to ignore personnel affairs-for example, in the Yongle Dynasty, the great scholar Xie Jin was frozen alive by Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei at that time Die in the snow.

It was also Ji Gang, who was too powerful and ambitious, and then rebelled under the eyes of the wise and mighty Emperor Yongle. Therefore, after Ji Gang was settled, Yongle thought about it, it is more reliable to be a house slave, and the group of people outside are not reliable at all. , so Dongji Factory is freshly released.

The birth process of Da Zhao's Dongchang is actually similar to this, and it is also similar in essence-in name, Dongchang is the superior yamen of Jinyiwei, but in fact it is a balancing technique, and its effect is basically the same as that of Jinyiwei.

Therefore, whenever there is a relatively unreliable emperor, the factory guards, especially the Dongchang, are likely to be in charge of that kind of inappropriate person. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, those notorious eunuchs were basically in charge of the Dongji Factory. Specially not doing personnel affairs, especially when their spearheads are often aimed at civil servants who hold the power of public opinion, even if they occasionally do some personnel affairs, they will be regarded as not doing personnel affairs, such as when they helped Huamanlou persecute the White Lotus Sect That's it - remember, that's the point.

So that's basically what happened this time.

In fact, Zhao Ren's thinking is correct, that is: when the Taizu established the ancestor system, he said that the small should be used to control the large, and he gave the censor's official the right to go directly to the sky and the right to make rumors. The purity of the history team, otherwise they are a bunch of moths, who will supervise whom?

And when the team of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section of the Department of Spokespersons were eliminated, Zhao Ren's next step was to increase the treatment of these people, and it was a substantial increase. You can't pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, and become a tool for others to fight in the court for petty profits, right?

But the prince of Dazhao will be strong all his life, and he doesn't want to explain this to people at all. It is basically tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest when he starts with the censor. A group of people in the public opinion position and the moral high ground, if you move their words, they...

Well, they cry.

It's okay for ordinary people to cry, but it's a little troublesome for the censor to cry.

Let the notorious yamen of Dongchang investigate and deal with the censor. It is easy to think of some bad things: when the first emperor was in power, Dongchang was so powerful that it really killed many people who dared to tell the truth. Censor Yanguan, at that time, the world was turned upside down and there was no peace, the court hall was dark, and you couldn't see your fingers...

This is the reason why Emperor Guangxing, who was close to civil officials, has been suppressing the factory guards. The Dongchang at that time even left a lot of childhood shadows on the young Emperor Guangxing, let alone other people?

But having said that, Emperor Guangxing's continuous suppression of the factory guards made the civil servants swell again. This time, Zhao Ren was deeply hurt by it, and he didn't have the slightest affection for this group of noisy guys all day long, so it is certain that the bear boy came to power The days of later civil servants were more difficult.

This matter... is barely a reincarnation, right?

Closer to home.

In fact, the people Zhao Ren took down this time actually had solid evidence, and he really didn't want to deal with them all—some were killing chickens to make an example, some were small punishments, and some were doing crimes and making meritorious service. Persecution has nothing to do with it.

But because he used Dongchang, he didn't do much after he took down the man. A large group of irritated civil servants ran to the Meridian Gate to kneel and remonstrate, crying.

So the civil servants of Dazhao may not be able to do anything else, but there are two skills that must be mastered: fighting and suing.

After Emperor Guangxing heard the news, he immediately called Zhao Ren to clarify the matter, but he was so angry that his lungs ached when he asked: To be honest, some of the people who were captured were really not fun. , There are false accusations, framed cases, and prostitutes, people, and wives in their hometown who dominate their family property, the evidence is conclusive...

Well, the evidence comes from Xuanwuwei. Lu Kun is a coward, but because of his cowardice, he has really had people investigate many things and has many people's handles. Otherwise, why would he be able to do it every time? Come up with something at a critical time?

And after mastering these things, he usually doesn't take them out, because this matter is too hated, unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally comes to ask for it——Although Zhao Ren didn't use Xuanwuwei to handle the case, he didn't forget how many times it was spent in the building Passing the level is all information obtained from Lu Kun.

In short, no matter how much Lu Kun wanted to scold MMP after seeing Zhao Ren, things still had to be given, and the evidence was complete, so Emperor Guangxing was so angry that he asked Xu Dacheng to order the civil servants to disperse. Stay at the Meridian Gate, waiting for the truth to come to light.

So Xu Dacheng went.

To be honest, I haven't had anything to do with the matter here, but for some reason, maybe it's because I'm happier walking on the road, so my expression is a little...well, not so solemn.

He himself felt that he had a cheerful face, a pleasant smile, and was honest and honest, but when he appeared at the Meridian Gate, what the civil servants saw was a Dongchangchanggong with a sinister smile.

So when he kindly persuaded these civil servants to go home and wait for the news, the civil servants became more and more annoyed, and some people used extremely impolite words such as "a dog" on the spot, which were obviously physical insults. Companion.

Then you say that Prime Minister Zhao can bear this bird's anger?It's obviously the prince's messing around, so what does it have to do with him, Xu Banban?

So Xu Dacheng immediately retorted, and also used an extremely inappropriate word: kill a thousand swords.

In some occasions, this word can be called a pet name, especially women like to use it, but it is a bit ironic in this occasion, because Sha Qiandao refers to Ling Chi, and it is a coincidence that the first emperor was in power At that time, there happened to be so few officials who were executed by Ling Chi.

So, after an official who seemed to be from Henan yelled, "Kill this stupid grandson", several civil officials with bad tempers rushed up, and Xu Dacheng was thrown to the ground at that time...

662. Big deal!

"Puff...Sorry, sorry, this matter, Xu Banban is really...Puff..."

After hearing the whole thing, although it's very unkind to laugh now, Hua Manlou really can't hold back.

This is too much fun, the brat caused the trouble, but the brat didn't get beaten, but Xu Dacheng got beaten up, and he recited it so professionally that Huamanlou was so happy that he forgot today The original purpose was to fool this dead eunuch into going west...

Xu Dacheng's old face was wrinkled into a ball. He watched Hua Manlou panting for a while and still didn't recover. Finally, he stood up and said, "Our family shouldn't come to your place today! Master Hou, please stay. Farewell!"

Seeing this, Hua Manlou quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, hey, Xu Ban is with you... Why are you so anxious to see you? It's not like I beat you up, right? Come on, sit down first, and have a drink The tea calms down..."

Dead eunuchs usually don't have big eyes, and Hua Manlou doesn't want to be hated because of this kind of crap.

Fortunately, although Xu Dacheng is really careless, he still doesn't dare to show his teeth here in Huamanlou, not only because of Huamanlou's good relationship with the royal family, but also because Huamanlou brought him a lot of money... …

Seeing Huamanlou blocking him, Xu Dacheng took the opportunity to sit down, took a sip from his tea cup angrily, and then sighed: "Master Hou, do you think our family has been wronged?"

"Injustice!" Hua Manlou said righteously and sternly: "It's so injustice! These civil servants are too outrageous, I will help you condemn them!"

"Yes! They must be condemned!"

"Curse them too, there is no PY for having a son!"

"Yes! Curse them!"

"If the companion is not angry, I will send some skilled people to pretend to be Dongchang fans and beat those people into pig heads, so that they will know how powerful Dongchangchang is!"

"Yes! Let them know..." Xu Dacheng agreed halfway and stopped the car, then looked at Huamanlou with a speechless expression: "Master Hou...do you have fun entertaining our family?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "This is really not a pastime, because if the companion doesn't want to take revenge like this, your plan will be for nothing."

This is really not wrong, because firstly, the law does not blame the public, and secondly, it is because of Emperor Guangxing's character - you see, one side is a slave and the other is a courtier, what do you want Emperor Guangxing to do? ?

Moreover, if the domestic slave is wronged and appeased, it is enough to give some benefits, but if the minister is wronged, it will not be easy to appease. Otherwise, why did this group of people make a fuss to the Meridian Gate, and even beat the inner minister of Zhao , the final result is nothing more than shutting doors and thinking about mistakes and fines?

Xu Dacheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed, tears of grievance came out: "Why is our family's life so hard..."

Hua ManLou swished and said, "If my companion doesn't want to suffer from this birdishness, why don't you try to help His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Seeing Xu Dacheng looking over with a puzzled expression, Hua Manlou said flickeringly: "Is it the civil servants who brutally beat up my companions? His Royal Highness is investigating the civil servants now, right? If that's the case, take them to prison in a reasonable and legal way." Li, isn't it too much?"

"This……"

"Father also knows about this, right? If the prince messes around, father will definitely beat him, but now father doesn't beat him... Do you understand the meaning of this?"

Xu Dacheng's eyes were fixed: "Your Majesty...do you really want to rectify the administration of officials?"

Huamanlou smiled without saying a word.

Rectification is to rectify, I guess I have been thinking about it for several years, but I have never had a good opportunity, and I may not know how to do it-the world is as black as crows, so I can't take all the court?

But now Zhao Ren's action is an opportunity. If it succeeds, it is a good thing. If it fails, there is no loss. At worst, it is a child messing around. Anyway, Zhao Ren has been messing around for a day or two, and everyone should get used to stabbing people. It's right, if you are not used to it, you have to get used to it, and the right is to practice for the future...

Even if it's a big mess that can't be ended, it can be blamed on others anyway. For example, the size of a certain Dongchang factory is just right, and it's traditional for the factory guards to kill Zhongliang, right?

The owner of the factory has been blamed. Shouldn't he take the blame and resign and start his sailing career?

Well, the above are all Huamanlou's speculations, and have nothing to do with Emperor Guangxing's plans.

Xu Dacheng hesitated for a while, and finally changed the subject: "Master Hou came to our house today to talk about this, right?"

Although he was skeptical about Emperor Guangxing's plan to rectify the administration of officials, he was not stupid. He knew those things could be done and those things could not be done. How wronged to be beaten up again when I went out?

Hua Manlou was not disappointed to see that he didn't fall for this trick, but started the second round of deception: "Well, it's really not for some official administration, but for a big event."

Xu Dacheng was surprised: "What's the big deal?"

If it were someone else, Xu Dacheng wouldn't be surprised, but Hua Manlou said it was a big deal, so it must be a big deal-this is called a pattern, and in Xu Dacheng's eyes, there are few people in Dazhao who have a pattern like this. After all, this master is a great god who has set his sights overseas. How can he be like those mortals who fight in the court all day long?

"Gold!" Hua Manlou spat out two words: "Banban, gold, is it a big deal?"

Xu Dacheng's greedy eyes widened: "Gold? Forget it...forget it?"

"Forget it?"

"Forget it! It's a big deal!" Xu Dacheng nodded quickly: "Master Hou, where is the gold?"

Hua Manlou nodded: Well, you see, he found it by himself!

"I was in the palace a while ago, and I told you about the Francophones, and my companion has heard the whole process." Hua Manlou's expression was serious and solemn, as if what he was talking about was really a big deal: "But there is one more thing. I didn’t say anything. Companion, do you think why the Fulangji people went to the New World without hesitation? Are they in a hurry?”
