I am the king of the dead

Chapter 679 This stupid remark made me laugh!
Today is a happy day. Since seeing the first appearance of the Daming Treasure Ship, the smile on His Majesty's face has not stopped. Xing'an is actually not willing to disturb His Majesty's pleasure.

But the news that Xiao Huangmen rushed over was a big deal, and it was indeed something that should be taken precautions.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Lu Zhong, Yang Han and others led Tiqi to arrest and participate in the remnant crimes in Huichangbo Mansion. There are a total of sixteen clans involved, and all of them have been arrested and brought to justice."

"En." Zhu Qiyu nodded, he was very relieved of Tiqi's speed in handling the case, he took a sip, looked at Xing'an and said, "What else did Xiao Huangmen report?"

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "The water control of the Huangpu River."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Kanyu map. Both the Wusong River and the Huangpu River originated from Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

Before the Xiayuan Jizhi flood, Taihu Lake and Wusong River were unable to discharge floods. When the rainy season came, the Taihu Lake Basin was flooded and became a water town;
In the dry season, severe drought was caused by insufficient water storage in the Wusong River.

Poetry:

Unexpectedly, from June to July, there is no tide and no rain.

Desire for some water at 01:30, but blood in the farmer's eyes.

The surging Huangpu is like a ditch, and farmers fight for water like pearls.

Several cars cannot reach each other, and once the rice fields become sandy.

The main problem of the Taihu water system is the problem of river congestion.

During the Hongwu period, Xia Yuanji dug wide Fanjiabang, combining the three rivers of Shanghai Pu, Xiahai Pu and Lanni Pu into one, and finally flowed with the Wusong River to the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Xia Yuanji's plan was quickly implemented. The Shanghai Pu, Xiahai Pu, and Lanni Pu in the lower reaches of the Huangpu River were merged into one, and several rivers in the lower reaches merged.

Then Xia Yuanji presided over the excavation of Nanhuikou to solve the irrigation problem of Songjiang Prefecture and completely solved the dilemma of the people in Songjiang Prefecture.

The maturity of the water system has never been achieved overnight. Around the Huangpu River and Wusong River, Songjiang Governor Li Binyan has been dredging in Songjiang Mansion, and there are eight key projects.

The work of Xiaohuangmen is the No. [-] work site, which is located in Hengliaojing and Caijiabang on the upper reaches of the Huangpu River.

Of the eight waterway dredging projects presided over by Li Binyan, five of them were supervised by the imperial court, and three of them were purchased in Zhaojialou, Songjiang Prefecture, and the dredging was carried out by wealthy merchants.

Jinqiaoyin Road, dredging the waterway is also very oily.

A wealthy businessman named Ye Zhongxing obtained the qualification to dredge the Caijiabang section of Hengliaojing with an offer of [-] silver coins.

Ye Zhongxing started to organize the dredging after the successful purchase, but the budget was spent before the excavation was completed. Ye Zhongxing was afraid that the court would punish him, so he went out on a boat and ran away.

At present, the dredging project of the Caijiabang section is unfinished.

"When Xia Shangshu dug Fanjiabang before, how did you solve it?" Zhu Qiyu asked while looking at Kanyu map.

Xing'an said in a low voice: "There is no Fan family in Songjiang anymore."

"Then follow the old rules." Zhu Qiyu said after a little deliberation.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "The minister accepts the order."

Zhao Jialou rushed to buy it, and Ye Zhongxing quoted [-] silver coins. The price was not the lowest, but Ye Zhongxing's quotation was very reasonable. While making a profit, the plan was extremely thorough.

Ye Zhongxing has participated in the purchase of Zhaojialou many times, and has cooperated with the court many times. He has an excellent reputation. During the Zhoushan naval battle, he also undertook the purchase of food and salaries for the army, and the quality was high.

After the Songjiang Mansion shipyard caught fire, tung oil was in short supply. Ye Zhongxing raised nearly [-] barrels of tung oil and sold them to Songjiang Mansion at a fair price.

When Li Binyan returned to Songjiang Mansion, Lei Juntai from Songjiang Shipyard said that Songjiang oil was expensive, and Ye Zhongxing's cheap sale solved the urgent need of Songjiang Mansion Shipyard.

It was Ye Zhongxing who worked honestly and was forced to run away.

The reason is that the Caijiabang section of the dredging project, he can not continue.

The silting of the Caijiabang section is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The Cai family in Huating deliberately blocked the river, one for irrigation of the farmland near Caijiabang, and the other for the wind pavilion and water pavilion in Cai's house.

Songjiang is very rainy, and Cai's house is built on a high place. If Caijiabang is not blocked, the wind pavilion and water pavilion of Cai's house will have no water.

Ye Zhongxing took over the dredging work and started to lead the canal to ask Lifu to dredge the silt. At the beginning, everything went wrong. First, the river dike of the led canal burst, and then Lifu raised the price loudly.

After Ye Zhongxing realized that he had caused a lot of trouble, he found the root of the problem and went to the head of the Cai family to discuss it, but he didn't even enter the door. In the end, the Caijiabang section spent more than [-] silver coins, but failed to dredge it.

Ye Zhongxing was so sad and helpless that he had no choice but to go out to sea in a boat, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty, what about the dredging of the Caijiabang section?" Xing'an asked hesitantly.

Zhu Qiyu said without hesitation: "Since the Huating Cai family is willing to donate money, I will simply let him do it. After returning to the family, the money copied should be used for dredging."

"Your Majesty, the Cai family in Huating has already copied it..." Xing'an hurriedly said: "The head of the Cai family has only just participated in the case of the remnants of the Huichang uncle's mansion."

Xing'an said so, Zhu Qiyu understood the problem of Xing'an.

What Xing'an asked was not only the dredging of the Caijiabang section, the emperor already knew about it, but also for the sake of the waterway of Songjiang Prefecture extending in all directions, and for His Majesty's will, the Caijiabang section must be dredged.

Is it important whether there is water in the wind pavilion and water pavilion in Cai's house in Huating, or the emperor's face?

Xing'an actually asked about Daming's work-for-relief incident, how to deal with similar incidents.

The work-for-relief project is in full swing. If something like this happens again, what should we do?
Does the Ming Dynasty want all the court to undertake it?
Why did Li Binyan buy three work sites in Zhaojialoupu instead of all the dredging under the supervision of the imperial court?
Giving all the money to wealthy businessmen, is it because Li Binyan has a brain problem, or has Li Binyan been corrupted and become a moth of a country?
This is not the case.

In the Song Dynasty, because of the system of favor and shade, more than [-]% of the officials in the Song Dynasty came from grace. In the Ming Dynasty, there were three people in one hole, and in the Song Dynasty, there were thirty people in one hole.

One of the big problems of the Song Dynasty, which was redundant and two accumulated, could not be solved from the beginning to the end, and that was redundant staff.

The redundant staff in the Song Dynasty can be described as the evil of the country's subjugation, not only the financial pressure brought by the redundant staff, but also exacerbated the disaster of the party in the Song Dynasty.

Li Binyan chose to rush to buy because of the limited manpower of the imperial court. To do these five work sites, the whole Songjiang Mansion is already exhausted, day and night.

Li Binyan presided over a total of eight work sites, and Li Binyan had two solutions for the remaining three work sites, one was to expand the administration, and the other was to rush to buy merchants.

The administrative cost brought about by the expansion of administration is far greater than the profit of merchants after rushing to buy.

Moreover, expansion, in addition to the substantial increase in administrative costs caused by redundant staff, can easily form a group of meat-eaters who occupy the distribution position, which is what Li Binyan fears the most.

The reason why redundant staff can really be called the evil of subjugation is this group of meat eaters.

For example: the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Army who had begun to sleep and watch the gates during the Kangxi period, had low combat effectiveness and wasted a lot of money. Could the big Qing Dynasty not be able to support these hard-core crops?

Nature can afford it.

But those Belle Taiji who control the Eight Banners have stirred up a mess in the court.

After Yongzheng came to power, let these hard-core farmers only receive their salaries and ignore the affairs, which solved some problems and offended the nobles.

Yongzheng, who engaged in the integration of gentry and gentry, offended the Han landlords again. He offended the Manchu nobles in the front and the Han landlords in the back. Yongzheng eventually became disgusted with people.

Therefore, Li Binyan chose to rush to buy in order to reduce administrative costs.

Ye Zhongxing's ability is very strong, and his reputation in the court is excellent, but in the end he was still defeated by the powerful and powerful clan masters.

"Wait another day for Ye Zhongxing, and Cai's house will be ransacked." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion, Ye Zhongxing is considered a good businessman, it is a pity that he ran away if he didn't make black-hearted money.

"As for using work as relief, the imperial court is powerless, so they still rushed to buy it, and everything is business as usual." Zhu Qiyu's tone was quite playful.

"Ah, this?" Xing'an was a little confused.

business as usual?
Zhu Qiyu said earnestly and earnestly: "Replacing relief with work will cost a lot of money."

"Even I, when faced with more than [-] million silver coins, have to be careful every step of the way. Since someone is willing to donate all the wealth accumulated over several generations, he will contribute money and effort to Daming's work-for-work relief."

"Why should I stop it?"

Only then did Xing'an realize suddenly, bowed his head and said, "I understand."

If there are fish but no fish, His Majesty throws another shot.

Under the law, the administration of officials has been improved after several years. Substituting work for relief is a national policy. If something goes wrong, His Majesty's water monkeys, including Tiqi, Duntai Yuanhou, the supervisory censors, The governors of various places and the inspectors of various places can be dispatched to find charitable funds.

After the introduction of work-for-relief, the emperor's family had no food left.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, stretched his waist and said: "Let the inspection department find out where Ye Zhongxing is. I heard that he is from Zhejiang. Xia Shizheng was arrested. The two Zhejiang merchants are hanging in the air. Find him." , Send it to the business manager."

"Xu Chengzong is clear about this kind of matter, just let him do it."

Ye Zhongxing didn't mean to make Caijiabang Duan unfinished. Caijiabang Duan estimated [-] silver coins, but Ye Zhongxing spent [-] silver coins to get it done.

Ye Zhongxing is not incompetent, on the contrary, Ye Zhongxing's ability is very strong.

When Xia Yuanji was ordered by Zhongshu Province to excavate Fanjiabang, the Fan family in Shanghai obstructed Xia Yuanji and others. Xia Yuanji couldn't even recruit people, let alone start work.

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to go to Emperor Gao to file a complaint. Emperor Gao was too lazy to get used to them, and directly copied and erased Fan's name. This matter was scolded by Shilin for more than 600 years.

Is there water in the fields of the common people, and where is it important to have water in the wind pavilions and water pavilions of the houses?
Ye Zhongxing was able to start work, and managed to maintain it for a while, which is not weak.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu changed into his regular clothes and was about to go out. Ran Siniang wanted to stay in bed, but Zhu Qiyu pulled her up.

Three Maos and Nine Peaks is a famous scene in Songjiang Prefecture, and the Daming Soap Factory run by Ran Siniang is located under the Nine Peaks, and the Yiyingguan Factory in Songjiang Prefecture is also here.

A gathering place of people has formed near Songjiang Fuguan Factory, especially noisy, with painted boats humming and drums, overflowing the middle stream, embroidered curtains and thin forks, filling the road one after another.

From Zhu Qiyu to the shipyard to the soap factory, Ran Siniang, as the general manager of the soap factory, explained the soap making very thoroughly.

After leaving the soap factory, Zhu Qiyu and his entourage visited the Songjiang Weaving Bureau. The weaving bureau covers an area of ​​more than a thousand mu, which opened Zhu Qiyu's eyes. Most of the prostitutes in the book apartments of the old Songjiang courtyard were also housed here.

Ran Siniang frowned frequently in this land of Yingying and Yanyan.

After eating at the Weaving Bureau at noon, Zhu Qiyu went to the Lecture Hall, Maritime Hall, and Heroine Hall of Songjiang Mansion.

For dinner, Zhu Qiyu tasted bamboo shoots, a specialty of Sheshan. There are many bamboos in Sheshan, and the bamboo shoots produced have a fragrance of orchids. Sheshan is also called Lansun Mountain.

Li Binyan arranged for a group of senior citizens from Songjiang Mansion to meet him on the shore, and after Zhu Qiyu picked up Wanminbiao, they dispersed.

It can be said that Songjiang Mansion has taken advantage of the right time and place, exuding vitality everywhere, and the vitality of all things competing for development.

After dinner, Zhu Qiyu returned to the place where he was staying, and instead of resting immediately, he went to see Lu Zhong interrogating him.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has always had a question in his heart.

Xia Shizheng, the Renhe Xia family, has become the head of the two Zhejiang maritime merchants. If there is wind and rain, the Huating Cai family can force Ye Zhongxing to go boating and go out to sea, but they will not go to the Yamen of Songjiang Prefecture to ask Li Binyan for help.

Isn't it good for these guys to make good money?
Why do you have to seek death?
With such doubts in mind, Zhu Qiyu walked into the prison of Songjiang Mansion in ordinary clothes, wanting to hear the deepest thoughts of these guys.

"See Your Majesty!" When Yang Han saw Zhu Qiyu, he was also startled. This cell is a place of pickling. How can His Majesty, who is ninety-five years old, be treated lightly?
Zhu Qiyu signaled to Yang Han that there is no need to be polite, and said with a smile: "No courtesy."

Yang Han knew that His Majesty didn't like to kneel, so he just gave a half-respect. He was in a mess here, and he was completely unprepared. He said with a little panic: "I don't know that Your Majesty is here, and I can't meet him from a distance. I hope that His Majesty will make amends."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, your place is much cleaner than I thought. I thought I could see blood and blood as soon as I entered the door."

"I went to the Weaving Bureau of Songjiang Mansion today. Huang Yanniang has managed the Weaving Bureau of Songjiang Mansion in an orderly manner, which is very good."

Daming's interrogation is now mainly based on attacking the mind, and the warning from the Jiefang Court is the best way to break down the criminal's psychological defense.

Compared with His Majesty's cruelty, the punishment of the five poisons can be said to be the same.

Zhu Qiyu said to Yang Han: "You are busy, I just go around at will."

Lu Zhong still disliked Yang Han, and guarding against Yang Han was the same as guarding against thieves.

The interrogation continued, and Zhu Qiyu was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting aside, listening to Yang Han's interrogation.

"Xia Shizheng, what are you trying to do by hiding a powerful crossbow armor and colluding with the Xinghai Gang?...Follow the truth!" Yang Han was sitting upright. He was not so polite on weekdays, and he was not very proficient in his lines.

But His Majesty looked at it, it was not easy for him to use the punishment of five poisons.

Xia Shizheng's appearance was not mean, he was even a bit rich and gentle, but his voice was extremely harsh.

Xia Shizheng sneered and said, "I'm unlucky to be caught by you eagle dogs. It's really unlucky anyway, so I'll just say it!"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the only ones who are cheap."

"You are noble, so don't drink the wine brewed by the merchant, don't wear the clothes made by the merchant, and don't eat the food shipped by the merchant!"

"This Songjiang Mansion has changed three times a day. Farmland has long since disappeared, and it is all cotton fields. In this Songjiang Mansion, most of them are merchants."

"While we are desperately dredging the silted river, what are you doing?"

"While we are trying our best to build the mansion workshop, what are you doing!"

"Eat Lao Tzu's, drink Lao Tzu's, wear Lao Tzu's, live in Lao Tzu's, use Lao Tzu's, go to sea to earn some hard money, and pay taxes, and now I am still arresting Lao Tzu!"

"I see, it's not people's hearts that are cheap! It's not merchants who are cheap! It's the heart in your bones that doesn't treat us businessmen as human beings!"

"Pooh!"

Everyone in the prison of Songjiang Mansion looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Hahaha!" Yang Han is a rough guy, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Smiles are contagious, and the entire prison is filled with laughter and joy.

Even if he didn't want to read His Majesty's residence newspaper, Na Qiu Jun, as a scholar-bureaucrat, and as the champion of Jingtai for five years, put forward the labor value theory in "University Yanyi Bu".

Even if you have read the labor theory of value, you can't say such ridiculous words.

Most of the Tiqi in the prison were graduates from the Lecture Hall and Lecture Hall. When they heard Xia Shizheng's pointing at a deer as a horse, they were all surprised and grotesque, and then they leaned forward and back with a smile.

"What are you laughing at! Even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and this reason is also the same!" Xia Shi's face turned red, and he didn't know what these Ti Qis were laughing at.

Zhu Qiyu stopped smiling. In Daming, he is the only emperor who can be called the king of heaven.

He finally suppressed his smile, these guys always said these things are inconsequential, he smiled and said: "First of all, business status is not a low status, Fei Yiying won the Juren this year, and this year he is also a Jinshi. The reason why the merchants rank at the bottom is that they don’t do production, hoard goods and drive up the price of grain.”

"We ate orchid bamboo shoots today. Sheshan belongs to the imperial court, the farmers pick the bamboo shoots, and the pawn peddlers sell them."

"Whoever went to the city wall yesterday and came back full of tears and covered in silk is not a silkworm farmer."

"Xia Shizheng, let me ask you, the poor build houses for the rich to live in, and the poor weave for the rich to wear. Which brick is the rich move? Which thread is the rich spun?"

Xia Shizheng frowned and looked at the noble man who was speaking, and said suspiciously: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"

"Did the goods grow out of the shelves?" Zhu Qiyu asked cheerfully.

Xia Shizheng was speechless for a while, and asked loudly, "I've never seen you before, who are you?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Who are we, you ask? That's a good question."

　As the saying goes: a fisherman puts a long line and then throws fresh bait, and the rich know what to say.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.Snapped!Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
