Daming reckless man

Chapter 156

Chapter 156

When Tu Qiao impeached the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, all the ministers were shocked.

Everyone was thinking, what happened to Tu Qiao? I haven't impeached officials so much in the past few years. How come officials have been impeached so frequently recently, and they are often prefects and governors. This is fatal.

Hejian Mansion also belongs to the scope of the capital, and now I heard that Tu Qiao has gone to Daming Mansion.

Everyone thought, what a trouble, the prefect of the Daming Mansion is probably going to be unlucky again.

Soon, Jiajing received the impeachment memorial, which was unexpected but also very happy.

Tu Qiao is still able to handle affairs, and now another magistrate has been impeached.

Soon, Jiajing gave Lu Bing an order to arrest the prefect of Hejian Prefecture and come to the capital.

The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions of Dali Temple will conduct a joint trial to find out the problem of the prefect of Hejian.

In the evening, Zhang Hao returned to Danfang.

Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, I heard that those officials paid the money?"

"Ah? Well, the money was paid, did Lu Bing give the money?" Zhang Hao reacted as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked Jiajing.

"Well, I gave the money, I gave 120 million taels, and you, you have more than 200 million taels here, do you want to give it to me?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and said.

Now I have more money in hand, and recently I have enough confidence.

"Why? Why should we give you the money from Shuntian Mansion?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked.

"Hey, I borrow it!" Jiajing immediately emphasized borrowing money when he heard Zhang Hao say that.

"I won't borrow it anymore, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back!" Zhang Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"You, I am the king of a country, and you actually say that I can't afford it?" Jiajing is so angry, isn't this too contemptuous of himself?

"Don't you know how much the household department pays a year? You already owe me 300 million taels, which is almost half a year's income of the household department. Do you still borrow money? No!" Zhang Hao waved his hand immediately and said.

"No, no, don't borrow?" Jiajing never dreamed that Zhang Hao said no.

"Well, don't borrow, our Shuntian Mansion is very poor, and now the people are suffering, I still think about how to build houses for them.

I made a count today, and there are about 7 households that need to rebuild their houses. If earth bricks are used to build houses, the cost is mainly on tiles and wood, and the other is lime.

Today, I asked someone to go to the countryside to ask. Among them, the construction of a four-room house will cost about 15 taels of silver, which requires a subsidy of more than 100 million taels of silver.

If you want to count the blue bricks around the bottom, it is estimated that you will need 2 taels of silver, which is about 140 million taels in total. Therefore, what I mean is to encourage the people to build houses next year! Zhang Hao stood there, looked at Jiajing and said.

"You, spend so much money to build houses for the common people?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock and said.

"Of course, people can't live in ruins all the time, right? This is the capital, that's it? My Ming Dynasty is also a kingdom of heaven. Such a house is shameful. We must build a house.

Moreover, Your Majesty, if you want to get back the people's support for Daming, you need to improve their living conditions and living conditions!If the people here in the capital support me, Daming, then the people in other places will gradually support me too! "Zhang Hao nodded very seriously and said.

"Are you stupid? There has never been such a precedent. The court built houses for the people? You child!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said unhappily.

"Then let this be the first example, the people are like this, you don't care, that's your people!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said back.

"You, whoops, Zhang Hao, that's not how money is spent. Next year, you Shuntian Mansion will distribute seeds, farm tools, etc. You need money, but you don't need so much!" Jiajing persuaded Zhang Hao.

"I know, I've done all the calculations. I've set aside the money, and I'm starting to buy it now. This time we're going to buy 20 hoes, 20 shovels, and 20 plowshares. For the common people, seeds are also being purchased now.

I have about 500 million mu of farmland in Shuntianfu, and I need 8 catties of seeds per mu, that is, I need 4000 million catties of seeds, and I need 40 Dan. Now I have purchased and signed a purchase contract with several shops. It is expected that before the Chinese New Year, all The seeds will all go into the warehouse! "Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Hao very seriously and said.

"Hiss!" Jiajing was shocked when he heard what Zhang Hao said.

This kid is preparing now, he is a general, how do you know this?

"How do you know it's time to prepare now?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I have money, so I will spend it. If I don't spend it, you will borrow it again, hehe, so, I will spend it first!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Hey, you bastard!" Jiajing understood what was going on when he heard it. He was afraid that he would borrow his feelings.

"Anyway, I don't want to borrow the 200 million taels. In a few days, after the county magistrates are in place, I will go to inspect the reservoirs and canals. What needs to be repaired must be repaired, and the money must be spent. Anyway, this money cannot be given to you!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing proudly and said.

"Zhang Hao, that's 200 million taels, not 20 taels!" Jiajing said anxiously to Zhang Hao.

"I know, the 200 million taels belong to our Shuntian Mansion. Why are you thinking about it? Besides, it's a favor to lend you, and it's your duty not to lend it to you. You have to borrow it. You have already borrowed 300 million taels. Do you still want it?" Zhang Hao stared at Jiajing and said.

"Hey, you, Zhen!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao at this moment, not knowing how to refute, so he looked at Lu Fang.

Seeing Jiajing staring at her, Lu Fang felt dizzy.

"Tell me!" Jiajing stared at Lu Fang and said.

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Hao said is not unreasonable. No, is the Hejian Mansion also impeached today? The people are dissatisfied with our Daming. If Zhang Hao can improve the people's understanding of Daming, it will be good!" Lu Fang bit the bullet and looked at Jiajing and said.

When Jiajing heard this, he also calmed down.

"Your Majesty, I'm helping the people, you still miss my money?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said.

"I don't care about your money, um, but you're right, you always need to change slowly!" After hearing this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said.

As soon as Zhang Hao heard that he agreed, he stopped talking and continued to settle accounts.

Jiajing returned to sit on the Daotai.

"Your majesty, don't be angry. In fact, the servants still admire Lu Anhou a little, but there are not many officials who would think of the common people!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing when he came to Jiajing's side.

"I know, I just thought, if there are more people like Zhang Hao in my Ming Dynasty, it would be great? Can the people rebel? Would the Tatars dare to kill the Great Wall? It's a pity, there is only one!" Jiajing said Watching Zhang Hao settle accounts there, he couldn't help smiling.

"Yes, Your Majesty, look at this child, although his mind is not very bright, but he is sincerely doing things for the Emperor, and there are not many like this!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing.

Jiajing nodded and waved to Lu Fang.

Now he is starting to worry about how to manage the Hejian Mansion and who will take over. He is an official of the fourth grade. If he is transferred, he will be corrupt. What should he do?
And the county magistrates of the counties below Hejian Mansion, are they corrupt officials, should we sort it out together?
Jiajing is very worried at the moment, no one is available.

He doesn't dare to use the people recommended by the cabinet, and the magistrate is transferred from other places, and he doesn't know whether he is a clean official, and he needs to investigate.

"Come here, Li Qiu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, come here!" Jiajing thought about it and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Fang heard it and went out immediately.

On Li Qiu's side, Li Qiu was also worried. The right servant of the household department, the two household department heads, and the two household department doctors were all greeted now, even the three elders.

Now he didn't know what to do. Li Qiu had heard of the people they recommended, and they were not good officials.

After receiving the notice, Li Qiu went straight to Danfang, feeling very worried.

He knew that when the emperor asked him to go there, it was probably related to his official position in the household department.

If the emperor is dissatisfied with this matter, then the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is definitely not his own.

Soon, Li Qiu arrived outside the alchemy room, and immediately went in to salute Jiajing after hearing the announcement.

"Give me a seat!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang immediately went to move the stool, Li Qiu quickly took it and smiled at Lu Fang.

"The right servant of the household department, is there anyone to choose?" Jiajing asked first.

"Back to the emperor, there are five candidates in total!" Li Qiu said with cupped hands.

"There are so many candidates, well, let's find out who they are!" Jiajing asked after hearing this.

Li Qiu didn't dare to hide anything, so he put the two people he chose first, and put the three recommended by Yan Song and the others behind.

Jiajing frowned after hearing the names of the three people behind.

These three people have met in the notebook given by Lu Bing, and they are not good officials.

"Is that how you recommend people?" Jiajing looked at Li Qiu and asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiu immediately knelt down.

"Returning to the emperor, in terms of rank, the five people are all fourth-rank officials, or third-rank officials, and they have served for five years. They can be transferred, but they still need to be investigated!" Li Qiu knelt there and cupped his hands Said.

"Who do you recommend yourself?" Jiajing stared at Li Qiu and said.

"Returning to the emperor, I recommend Fang Dun, the left servant of the household department in Nanjing. During his tenure as the capital censor a few years ago, this person was upright and upright. He did not join forces with other officials in the court and impeached many officials!" Li Qiu said immediately, clasping his hands. .

"Fang Du, I know! Well, that's right! You are the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. Now you are in charge of the selection of talents for the Ministry of Officials. You should have your own opinions instead of following the recommendations of other ministers!" Jiajing looked at Li. Qiu said.

Jiajing also knew that the people behind were all members of the cabinet ministers.
