Chapter 1576: Peeling Real Grass
So Shen Long finished talking for a long time before a minister came out tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and we should support His Majesty; but now we need money everywhere, and going south will cost a lot, and the treasury may not be able to afford it!"
Hey, look at Kang Mazi's incompleteness, how nourishing it is for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River, the servants from all over the country are scrambling to receive him, to serve the emperor comfortably, even if his family owes countless debts. Why is it so difficult for me to go to Jiangnan to see it when I come to Daming? Shen Long complained secretly.
"Since that's the case, then let the money come out of the internal treasury. I won't stop along the way, and I won't harass the local people. The local people don't blackmail the people in the name of picking me up. After I leave Beijing, I will go all the way south and arrive at Jinling is a good place to rest." Shen Long said, anyway, many houses have been confiscated recently, although most of them have been sent to the national treasury, and a lot of money was spent before, but there is still money to go to Jiangnan.
"At that time, I will take one of the four guards of Tengxiang and one of the Jingying guards to go south. The affairs of the court will follow the previous rules, but if there are important matters, you elders will discuss first, come up with a strategy, and then report to me." At that time, the wireless telegraph came in handy, even if Shen Long left the capital, he could still grasp the major political strategies without worrying about any troubles.
"Your Majesty, wait for your order!" These officials finally had nothing to say, and discussed the details of going south one after another. Although His Majesty said that all the court elders are staying in the capital, if there are not many important civil servants around His Majesty, then that is not a big deal. All right? What if someone slanders at that time? Moreover, there are a lot of high-level officials in Jinling who are counting on going to Beijing.
We have to take good care of His Majesty, lest His Majesty go out, and the seat I just sat on is gone, so a group of people begged for orders and asked to go south with Shen Long.
Shen Long chose some young and healthy officials who were good at handling affairs to accompany him. Traveling far away is a hard job now, and it is easy to die if they are not in good health, so Shen Long can't bear to let Xu Guangqi go with him Go, he should continue to stay in Beijing to do scientific research.
In order to compete for the qualification to accompany Shen Long to the south, the four guards of Tengxiang and Jingying quarreled endlessly. Shen Long directly compared the training results of the guards on weekdays, and chose the two guards with the best training results to escort him to the south, and then Wang Chengen He also accompanied the eunuch to ward off evil spirits, while Cao Huachun stayed in Beijing to guard.
It took some time, and after everything was ready, Shen Long chose an auspicious day to leave the capital and go all the way south. As expected, he didn't disturb too much along the way. Every night when he was resting, he followed the army and set up camp outside the city. , the nearby states and counties only need to supply grain and grass, and Shen Long paid for the grain and grass according to the market price.
So along the way, it didn't add much burden to the common people in the prefectures and counties along the way. On the contrary, because of the arrival of the army, the vegetables, chickens and ducks produced by the nearby common people bought a good price. He was full of praise for Shen Long, and he gained a wave of popular support.
But the officials of my Daming are really awesome, no matter what they want to take advantage of, this day, when Shen Long and the others walked to Yanzhou Mansion, they met such an awesome person.
When Shen Long's army set up camp in the local area, officials from nearby states and counties came to see them one after another, and brought all kinds of fresh vegetables, meat and eggs by the way. Local officials headed by Zhu Shouhong, the eighth generation king of Lu, and Kong Yinzhi, the sixty-fourth generation Yansheng Gong of Qufu, came in to greet Ann and salute. After the salute, Shen Long asked them to sit down and began to inquire about the local situation.
This is also his practice since he left Beijing. As an emperor, it is always beneficial to know more about the situation at the grassroots level and to listen to the thoughts of these grassroots officials. After talking for a while, Wang Chengen came in and whispered something to Shen Long, Shen Long The smile on his face froze immediately, he glanced at the officials and asked, "Who is the magistrate of Shouzhang County?"
"My minister is here!" Immediately an official stood up,
The two Zhan Zhan were almost trembling when they spoke.
"Okay, I have already decreed that the local government will not blackmail the people in the name of my going south, but you are good enough to ask for property everywhere in the name of receiving me, and even withhold money from the people to buy vegetables, ruining my reputation, Seeking personal gain for yourself." Shen Long almost laughed angrily, you dare to do such a thing, do you really think that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are doing nothing? I have seen money-greedy officials, but this is the first time I have seen someone so stupid.
"My minister is ineffective in teaching and not strict in restraining his subordinates. Please make amends, Your Majesty!" The magistrate of Yanzhou Prefecture also knelt down. Now he can't wait to tear the magistrate of Shouzhang into thousands of pieces. I knew you were greedy before, but I didn't expect to be greedy. To this extent, even I have been implicated.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. How dare a humble minister do such things." Now this man can only refuse to admit his account. If he admits it, will he still have a way to survive? I'm afraid I don't even have the chance to go to Dayuan Island.
"Wang Chengen! Bring up all the evidence, lest others say that I wronged a good person!" Shen Long laughed back angrily.
Wang Chengen had already inquired about the matter clearly. The local witnesses and the masters of the magistrate were all arrested, even their account books were taken out, and everything was taken out. The magistrate immediately collapsed on the ground. There is no more air to enter.
"If such a greedy person is beheaded, it will be cheaper for him! You should follow the example of Taizu and peel him for real grass. Four generations of his family will not be allowed to take imperial examinations, and he will not be allowed to leave his hometown for three years." It's been three months, I've been here with you for three years, how can you relieve the anger in my heart!
"My emperor is holy!" The officials present would say good things to him, and immediately shouted long live.
Not long after, the county magistrate was escorted back to Shouzhang County, where he was skinned in front of the people of Shouzhang County, and all the money he embezzled and extorted was returned to the people. He personally came outside Shen Long's imperial tent to thank him endlessly.
Hey, it was originally theirs, but it was just returned to them, so there is no need to be so grateful, Shen Long was deeply moved by this; Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi felt that he had found a good opportunity to flatter, so he quickly got up and sent a lot of horses Shit, comparing Shen Long with the three generations of sage kings made the officials in the tent stare sideways.
After all, you are also a descendant of a sage, even if you flatter yourself, there must be a limit, right? Can you stop being so shameless? Shen Long sneered when he saw it, how could Kong Yinzhi be ashamed to this extent? What he will do in the future will be called shameless!
If you don't stand up, I won't remember it for a while, and Yan Shenggong's department should also clean up.
