My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 440

Chapter 440 Longyan Joy

The reason why Zhu Di was furious.

It originated from the rebellion of scholars in Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture.

A group of people ran to the county government office, making a fuss, and even killed a county lieutenant.

This was obviously intolerable to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di immediately said: “Decree the factory guards, and immediately order Tiqi to go to Dinghai County to arrest all the people involved in this matter. No one will be left behind, and all will be killed.”

All the officials were silent after listening.

Zhu Didao: “Decree the academic officials everywhere, ordering them to restrain the scholars, and if anyone dares to cause trouble, the local academic officials will hardly be able to escape the blame.”

Jin Youzi pondered for a moment and said: “Your Majesty, this matter is too big, and the scholars are making trouble… This is unprecedented…”

Zhu Di glanced at Jin Youzi, and said casually: “This is too much trouble? With a few scholars, dare to call it a riot? What are they? The only one who is not afraid is the scholar who rebelled?”

“…”

In the Jiangnan area, almost a township is passed, and the accent is not the same. After a county, the accent may be very different. If it is separated by one or two prefectures, if the bad students master the rules of our accent, it will be as small as There is less difference in listening to the scriptures.

After hearing this, Zhu Di felt distressed, but at the same time felt relieved.

Zhu Di said: “When Pei Qing was not usurped, he had his heart in the sky. There were not many scholars who regarded me as a sage. Every move of Zhang Qing’s family was regarded as a thief. Such a person is actually better than Sun Chen. Are we looking up to Sun Chen, or looking down on Zhang Qing?”

Yi Shiha dared to say anything.

That is the future master of the country! If even I know restraint, this Wang Mang’s Wang Mang is afraid that he will suffer when he succeeds Xiao Tong.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, “Customs? Is this… the commercial tax for ships entering the port at sea?”

The so-called test master book is actually equivalent to a generation.

Yi Shiha had already fetched Jindun, and Xia Yuanji sat down lala.

Zhang Anshi said: “Your Majesty, the Taiping Mansion has been divided out, and it can only be regarded as a vassal town. The imperial court ruled, apart from Yingtian Mansion, the fourteen provinces and their capitals. Now that the Taiping Mansion is like this, it is tantamount to attracting Escaping from the sky and going to Wuhu County is not necessarily a bad thing for your Xiaoming community.”

Zhu Di sighed: “Pei Qing, he did it because of Lida, didn’t he hear that sentence?”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows immediately, just about to be furious.

To Zhu Di’s relief, Xia Yuanjin’s happy appearance seemed to have no complaints, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

It’s just acting as the chief bookkeeper. Of course, if you do something bad, you can’t become a regular.

Only nobles or scholars wear long-sleeved shirts. The longer the sleeves, the more dignified they appear.

Xia Yuanji said: “The grandson has made some contributions, from the eighth-class civil servant to the seventh-class and first-class civil servant. At the end of the year, he was promoted to the official. Now, he is the master of Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture. book.”

Zhu Di concealed the smile on his lips, and even his voice became a little bit heavier, saying: “Call back.”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, speaking.

So Zhu Di became more loving, and said with a smile on his face: “It’s bad, he’s working hard too, so sit down and talk.”

Xia Yuanji was wearing short clothes today, and said at this time: “My lord, Pei Qing… just came down from the river embankment.”

“Yes.” Xia Yuanji said: “Affiliated to the county prince’s mansion, the leader is Yu Qian. Yu Qian has been an uncle’s secretary since then. Did Wang Mang have any dealings with me on weekdays? I am a man who loves people.” say.”

Zhu Di said: “So why doesn’t he think less?”

But he was also disappointed when he heard it and continued: “Yes, I have heard some things.”

But before the Ming Dynasty, he became a local affairs officer.

If the Taiping Mansion also belonged to the imperial court, it would be bad to say, but now that they have sealed off the vassal, at most they have obtained the large property rights of the Taiping Mansion, and now they are so nakedly absorbing the people, the blow to the imperial court can be said to be light.

“That…”

Zhu Di said fiercely: “Tell the truth.”

Xia Yuanji stepped forward firmly, before saying: “But… the emperor, Wang Mang still thinks… a million taels of silver is nothing.”

“Fucking shit!” Zhu Di scolded, “Stop talking about that.”

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty’s disaster of the party, as long as the scholars who did not die because of the struggle, the states and counties in the sky often built shrines to commemorate our deeds, and these sinners who were in the eyes of the emperor often gained great reputation. .

“Because of this, the people in the prefectures and counties in the sky are moved by the news. That is also the reason why the prefectures and counties are extremely full of Taiping Prefecture.” Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di frowned even more when he heard that: “I haven’t heard of this, but how little is it delivered every day?”

Yi Shiha even dared to take over.

Zhu Di hated Tie for being Chenggang, and said: “He has Hechong, he must have seen his uncle’s hands and feet, and followed suit… Hurry up, what customs, what tens of millions?”

Xia Yuanji said: “Excavating the canal, there are too few cargo ships congested on the river now. If we can clear some of the river silt and narrow the river, I am afraid that the congestion will be even worse in the future. Wang Mang is now responsible for that. Wang Mang has to go down the river.” Dike inspections are also responsible for labor supplies and recruitment of personnel. Those things are the most cumbersome, but my uncle said… In the Yuan Dynasty, Youhe caused hundreds of thousands of labor riots because of the construction of the river. , so there is little chaos in the sky.”

Zhu Di still had an expression on his face.

Zhu Di opened his mouth and said, “Let’s discuss this matter again.”

After a pause, Pei Qingyue continued: “Your Majesty, it’s not that I have nothing to say about the new policy. It’s just that your Majesty conferred the feudal vassal. The original intention was to temporarily confine the new policy to the Taiping Mansion, and then decide whether to implement it quickly. The approach was too slow, and I think… it is better to plan it slowly and discuss it in the long run. If it is true, the sky will vibrate and the army and the people will be safe, so is it because of big mistakes?”

Zhu Di said again: “Taiping Mansion recruits people like that, and it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver every day. If it goes to my mother, it’s silver or dung. That, I have to check it out, and let me, Pei Qingyue, pay the bill myself. Today’s young people…know how to save and restrain themselves!”

So even in the face of his most beloved Wang Mang, Zhu Di could not hold back his anger, glared at me angrily and said, “Absurd! What do you mean is very little? There was no shortage of millions of taels of silver that day. How could he spend so little money?” His silver is so out of sight!”

Yi Shiha said: “I have written it down.”

It seemed that he was afraid of losing his composure, so he turned his face to the other side so that Xia Yuanji would not notice.

Pei Qingyue: “The cause of the incident seems to be that the Taiping Mansion, in order to absorb the population, gave money to the people who settled down everywhere. I heard that tens of thousands of taels of silver are given out every day…”

Yi Shiha laughed dryly and said, “Your Majesty takes care of everything every day…”

Those things can be regarded as the old rules of scholars.

I saw Xia Yuanji continued: “After all… Our Taiping Mansion, the customs alone, there is no less than ten million taels of silver… Take out a mere million taels to absorb the people and attract people to settle down, but there is a little urgent solution If the problem of labor is eliminated, fewer canals will be built, and fewer roads, bridges and railways will be built… No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss.”

Pei Qingyue said: “I think that it is reasonable to order Wuhu County King’s Hall to prevent people from Lifu County from settling down. There is no place to send some gentry and scholars to engage in business secretly. I am afraid that it is not against the way of a gentleman, and some punishment should be given. .”

Zhu Di waved his hand: “Got it.”

Yi Shiha’s face changed suddenly in fright, he hurriedly worshiped, and kowtowed: “Million dead.”

I am not too interested in this matter, and I even said that in Zhu Di’s opinion…it is a trivial matter in itself. If you dare to kill officials and make trouble, Zhu Di’s sword is naturally more powerful than ours.

After all, Zhu Di still has to face in front of his own Wang Mang. I hope Xia Yuanji will inherit my family tradition of martial arts and frugality, but he will be happy when he sees wealth.

What appeared under that face was surprise for a while, and shock for a while.

Zhu Di obviously had this in mind, and I said: “I heard that Zhang Qing gave very little money to new recruits who have not settled down. Is that true?”

“It can be seen that the construction of the river is the most difficult thing. How to arrange the tens of thousands of laborers, how to understand our situation, how to ensure that we have enough food and clothing, and at the same time ensure that the project is not wrong. That is abnormal. People have the ability to do it, and Wang Mang is old, if he can visit the embankment in person at all times, he will be convinced.”

When others say that, Zhu Di at least has a straight face.

“The grandson has seen…”

After a few more days, Yishiha came to report: “Your Majesty, these scholars in Dinghai County have all been taken. According to Your Majesty’s instructions, before the official punishment…”

Yi Shiha looked at Zhu Di’s expression, and said again: “Your servant also knows that it’s just the rumors of evil people…”

So I feel more gratified in my heart.

It’s Wang Mang… I’m most worried about it, but unfortunately, Wang Mang is now in Taiping Mansion, so there are few things.

It belongs to the management of everything, and has no time to share some administrative work for the county magistrate and county magistrates below.

Zhu Di resisted and said: “It will cost a lot of money…”

Zhu Di said: “This is the case in Dangtu County, how about the entire Taiping Prefecture’s dozens of counties? Calculated in this way, it’s not nearly a million taels of silver… I don’t know where it is. A million taels of silver, does he know what it is? ”

Zhu Di said indifferently: “Howling is everywhere? The people are running away, why are they crying all over the country? How can people’s livelihood wither when the people are running away?”

Xia Yuanji obviously understood Zhu Di’s mood too well, scratched his head and said, “There are very few bad things.”

Speaking of that, Pei Qingyue showed a bit of annoyance, and continued: “It’s just… only the people from all over the place have different accents. Sometimes Wang Mang understands what we say, and we may not understand it. I can understand Wang Mang’s words.”

After Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became angry.

Jin Zhongdao, this guy, is using my Wang Mang as an animal!

When I was young, Xia Yuanji stepped back with a pompous appearance.

“It’s not bad. If you make a mistake while you’re busy, it’s a big mistake. It’s still too late to make up for it.” Xia Yuanji continued: “As long as there is enough money and food outside the county, it will be a problem.”

Yi Shiha looked embarrassed: “I’m afraid… it is deliberately trying to provoke the monarch and ministers, so the slaves think that those people have sinister intentions…”

Jin Zhongdao was fine, but Xia Yuanji was full of concern, which made Zhu Di even more distressed.

Zhu Di is a person who has endured hardships, and he also understands the significance of that kind of education.

Zhu Di only nodded.

Jin Zhongdao: “It is said… because there are illegal scholars who have colluded with the Taiping Mansion to do business, which has aroused public anger. I also feel that the local county government has shielded these business scholars. Besides… it is because of the problem of escaping households. It is said that in Ningbo Mansion, many people were moved by the wind and did not think about production. , It’s already howling everywhere.”

Yi Shihana said: “It is said that the king of Wuhu County… is already a grandson, and the decree only comes from the residence of the king of Wuhu County…”

Pei Qingyue still had to salute, Zhu Di smiled and said: “It’s bad, it’s bad, no courtesy, no courtesy…Why is he dressed in short clothes?”

But my own Wang Mang and Xiao Ming’s prince said such things, but it made me sad.

“The embankment?” Zhu Di said enthusiastically, “What are you doing on the embankment?”

Xia Yuanji took it for granted, and said: “The emperor knows nothing. The promotion of his grandson is already slow. If it is slow, there is no one to gossip! It’s just that Dangtu County is indeed out of the master.” There is a vacancy in the book, and the grandson happened to make some contributions last year, but based on those, it is still enough, the qualifications are enough, that’s all.”

Even a million taels of silver is worth it. I will become the emperor in the future. Is this okay?

“Not yet a few things.” Yi Shiha hurriedly said: “There are rumors in many places, saying… say…”

Just as he was talking, no **** came inside, and said: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor and Grandson, please see me.”

Zhang Anshi knew what Zhu Di’s reaction was, so I said with a little embarrassment: “Scholars are making trouble. It is true that there is some small commotion. What I am worried about is that the scholars of the fourteen provinces are all at peace with the scholars of Dinghai County. It is to be able to work together with the imperial court…”

But Xia Yuanji was wearing a short white jacket.

On the opposite side, Zhu Di still had an angry face, and Xia Yuan Ji Qiqi Ai Ai said: “Actually…Pei Qing only heard what the Wuhu county magistrate said when he went to a meeting outside the Fuyin Yamen…The Wuhu county magistrate was listening to Li Zhao from the Fuyin Yamen. Mo said. In fact… the customs, what is the number, the people of the Taiping Mansion actually know very little. It is rumored by the government office and the county office, I am afraid that it is not ten million taels at most…”

After hearing this, Zhu Di’s expression turned sour.

A lot of work is a little bit, I understand!

Seeing Pei Qingyue’s annoyed look, Zhu Di just curled his lips and smiled.

After all, it was Wang Mang who cared the most. Seeing Wang Mang like that, Zhu Di immediately became anxious, and seemed to feel that his words were not serious, and said immediately: “Forget it, you have to remember the lesson before, that matter… I want to talk to his uncle personally. Talk about it, to teach him to get rid of that bad habit…”

The post of the master book was originally the assistant official in charge of the documents under the chief officials at all levels.

Yi Shiha knew at this moment that His Majesty was in a very bad mood at that time, and he also smiled happily: “Your Majesty’s servant went to welcome the emperor’s grandson.”

My son, seeing me is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Xia Yuanji said, “Although the money is given, there is still a lot of money. That… Wang Mang is the master of the trial. In the two months in Dangtu County, he did attract 8,700 households. The money spent is not enough. It’s only a mere tens of thousands of taels. Naturally, Dangtu is only a big county, and there may be even fewer in Qixia.”

Yi Shiha said: “Although the 18 scholars who were killed are dead…but before Xu Shaofu County heard about it, they built shrines and mourned for them in their hometown, and there were many people…”

Xia Yuanji shook his head and said: “Wang Mang has only heard that he acts out of great goodness and acts out of great evil.”

Pei Qingyue said politely: “Of course, how can the notice posted by our Taiping Mansion be deceiving?”

But it has to be said, that can be regarded as a kind of experience.

Pei Qingyue said: “The local area will recruit some. It’s not too much. They are from our prefecture and county… In the next few days, the manpower is indeed sufficient. No matter what, we will recruit people. After all, it is hard to build the river. Money and food may not be less than in other places. It is now… but there is no small improvement. There are many people settled in the prefectures and counties, and we are more willing to endure hardships, and we are very satisfied with the current salary.”

Zhu Di said enthusiastically: “It’s not just nonsense.”

Wang Mang came to see me, he was very happy.

Zhu Di sighed, and said, “I really broke my heart.”

Zhu Di listened with a smirk: “A mere master, I, Jin Zhongdao, want to add a test word after him?”

I am young, and in the deep palace, only Yishiha is there to accompany me.

Did Zhu Di make a sound?

Yi Shiha hurriedly said: “Yes, the servant obeys the order.”

Zhu Di said: “The position of chief bookkeeper has nothing to do with the river embankment?”

It’s just that Zhu Di only laughed hotly, and said without any disappointment, “That’s all?”

Zhu Di’s complexion changed and he settled down.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, “Where does the manpower to build the river come from?”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, as if he hated iron but became steel.

Zhu Di is getting old, and at this time he is gradually talking to himself.

After hearing this, Zhu Di snorted hotly: “Is that for me to see, or for us to see?”

Xia Yuanji was a lot of people who saw my grandpa get angry with me. He was startled, and hurriedly said: “Yes, yes, my grandson will die.”

Zhu Di raised his head, and murmured: “Civilization, Criticism… My mother, I am inferior to the Emperor Taizu, and I am already narrow-minded, but I am still centrifuging… Could it be that I killed too much…”

There is no good reason for what Zhang Anshi said.

Zhu Di knew that Yi Shiha had nothing to say, so he glanced at Yi Shiha: “What’s the matter?”

After the court broke up, Zhu Di glanced sideways and lost his mind: “The East Factory needs to be supervised by bad people, that’s all…The scholars Xia Qing said are divorced from morality, so we should investigate it urgently.”

Zhu Di said again: “How is the repair of the river?”

Zhu Di said: “Why are these people making trouble?”

Before Zhu Di’s eyes at this time, Wang Mang is more and more like me when I was young.

My body is already very weak and strong, and my complexion is a little paler than in the later days.

So the more Zhu Di thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Yi Shiha dared to say it, but knew that the previous words would most likely make Zhu Di very unhappy.

The distinction between high and low in the ancients can rarely be seen from the clothes. Unusual people need to do heavy physical labor. If they have long sleeves and long skirts, they can do their jobs.
