I am the king of the dead

Li Binyan got off the Guanhai Tower, and then ran in the direction of Wu Tower.

A total of more than ten households had to be confiscated, but this Wuta Song family, because it was in Suzhou, Li Binyan had to go there in person. Or take a trip yourself.

Although he didn't make this trip, the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Suzhou can't do anything to him. After all, one is the governor with the Yongle sword, and the other is the governor of Songjiang who is called the governor. The governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Suzhou can only suffer from this sulking.

They are all in the officialdom. Today Li Binyan gave others face, and in the future, others will give Li Bin some face.

Li Binyan sat in the car, opened the window, and let the warm wind blow into the car. Outside the window was an endless cotton field. This is still the boundary of Songjiang Prefecture. There are many cotton farmers in Songjiang. The white cotton all over the place makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Binyan kept looking out of the window, and said to Chen Zongqing: "Cotton is showing in May, and cotton is drying in August. It's warm when the flowers bloom, and cold when the flowers fall. Although it's a few days late, the cotton is still blooming."

"When I was in the capital, Your Majesty asked me to go to Young Master Hu to learn how to be an official. Your Majesty likes to send us ignorant people to Hu Shangshu to have a better understanding."

"Master Hu taught me a lesson. He said that last year I was in a dilemma. One side impeached me, the other side praised me, and brought me to the forefront. Of course, some people are greedy for the huge profits of this maritime trade, but it's so big. I don’t know the world and I don’t understand the world, and I think that if you do an errand for His Majesty, you don’t need to give face to the local bureaucrats. If you say you want to take people, you can take people, and if you say you can do errands, it has a lot to do with provoking public anger.”

Chen Zongqing was full of envy. His majesty was able to send him to Shaoshi Hu to learn how to be an official. This is a blessing that cannot be asked for.

Hu Wei, a veteran official of the Six Dynasties, would speak admonition or two in a leisurely manner?Isn't it His Majesty's life?
Li Bin said leisurely: "I argued for a few words, and Shaoshi Hu took Yu Shaobao as an example. Yu Shaobao is such an upright person. This is Yu Shaobao's way of being an official."

"Your Majesty needs to show some face to the local bureaucrats at all levels when doing things. For example, this time the King of Joseon will follow Daming to go south to the West. Isn't His Majesty just looking at the shipping department of Jeju City? Lord Shouyang looked at Daming Yao, and he also supported North Korea. If you object, His Majesty will naturally repay the favor, isn't this exchange of favors just a exchange between you and me?"

"Young Master Hu taught you the lesson."

In the hearts of the traditional scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, since the King of Korea was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, it naturally belonged to the Land of Liuhe of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea was the place of the Ming Dynasty.

You come and go, it seems simple, but Li Binyan also summed up his style of doing things in the past, more than decisive, not smooth enough.

This is a really difficult place in the world. It is certainly not a good thing to say that a person is "unsophisticated", but it is also not a good thing to say that he is "deeply sophisticated". Yes, I understand.

Li Binyan's accompanying car drove into the ground in Suzhou, and the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Suzhou had been waiting for a long time.

This Li Binyan relied on the presence of the holy family in Long, and relied on the fact that the Songjiang Jingjun was stationed behind him. When they went to fetch people and said they were going to raid the house in Suzhou, they didn't even say hello.

The governors and magistrates of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fengyang, etc. dared not speak out. When the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Xun, took the lead to deal with Li Binyan, they were immediately overwhelmed by everyone. However, Li Binyan's backer was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It was too hard, so hard that the wall did not fall under the push of everyone.

Something unexpected happened to the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Suzhou.

Li Binyan went back to the capital, came back to work, and began to say hello. Since Governor Li said hello, the etiquette must be in place. No, Jiangsu local officials went to the boundary marker to greet him.

"I've met Governor Li." Governor Zhou Zhongda of Jiangsu brought a group of officials to the ceremony. The governor of Jiangsu Province was listed as the official fourth-rank rank of Qiandu Yushi, and Li Binyan was the left servant of the third-rank household department. Naturally, we must meet first.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't like to kneel, so there was nothing good about it. Who would kowtow to others?This meeting is always bowing, the body stands tall, both hands clasped fists, left hand on the top, palms down, and a slight bow is the etiquette.

Li Binyan replied with a smile and said: "Today, the official ship of the Ming Dynasty went to sea, and the etiquette was cumbersome, so it took some time. Please don't blame Governor Zhou."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Zhou Zhongda was also stunned, and hurriedly said, this face will be given back and forth, and you will have face. If you don't talk about face at all, I will lose face, and you will naturally have no face. You come to me. That's about it.

"Governor Li, if there is a need for the case of the Wuta Song family, Governor Li can speak up, and we on the ground in Jiangsu will definitely work together to solve the case." Zhou Zhongda talked about the business and fully supported Li Binyan's house raid.

The Song family of Wuta didn't spend less money, nor less entrusted relationships. If they want to follow Zhou Zhongda's path, they still want Jiangsu to report a famine, and spread the loss of the fried grain futures on the court. Anyway, It belongs to the public, and if it is lost, it is also a loss to the public, and you, Zhou Zhongda, will not lose anything.

Zhou Zhongda didn't dare to take a penny.

The accounts of the Baoyuan Bureau are all subject to cross-examination. The Song family's case only has less than 20 silver coins, but the combined deficit of these ten companies is more than 130 million. Can the word "disaster" be fooled?
Your Majesty is the Secretary of the Ministry of Households of Ming Dynasty. When the account book finally reaches the Heavenly Ting, officials at all levels who report the famine will have to eat His Majesty's iron fist. Your Majesty is usually polite, but when it comes to investigating corruption, he has never Unambiguously, how many people tried the method with their own bodies, and died after trying it.

If you, the Wuta Song family, pawned all your obscene clothes, or lost your clan, even if the court wanted to copy you, they would have no choice but to take your Wuta Song family.

But you, the Wuta Song family, did not pay back the money, and ended up losing money to the court. You played the trick of turning your left hand into your right hand, and wanted to report a famine?

The income of the Baoyuan Bureau is split between domestic funds and national funds. The loss falls to the court, which means it falls to His Majesty. Your Majesty is the emperor who only has one set of crown uniforms. You let His Majesty lose 130 million silver coins?

According to folk rumors, His Majesty the Emperor is so stingy that he would like to break a silver coin into a ten-petaled flower. You let His Majesty lose 130 million silver coins?

Zhou Zhongda dared not report the famine, and no one in Jiangsu dared to let His Majesty lose 130 million silver coins.

"I'm ostentatious, but I seem to be bothering you, but this case is being handled by various governments. It involves Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Yingtian, and Songjiang. It is supervised by a certain person. I have a duty, so I have to bother you." Li Binyan said quite politely.

Why didn't Li Binyan say hello to the place?
Is it because they are afraid that the local authorities will report in advance, or simply block the handling of the case, so they refuse to say hello?

But this time when he greeted Li Binyan, he realized that he should not regard his colleagues as enemies. We all served as officials in the same dynasty, and there were some taboos that Li Binyan dared not commit, and his colleagues even less dared to do so.

He Li Binyan said that the holy family is in Long, how many of these colleagues have the Yongle Sword?
Li Binyan is the only one who has such a precious sword as the Changpei Yongle Sword of the Ming Dynasty. He returned it several times, but His Majesty refused to take it back.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, it's just an unfeeling request from someone. Governor Li, can we officials on the ground in Jiangsu observe this case? It's ashamed to say that no one in Jiangsu really knows about this house raid. "Zhou Zhongda made a request, which is to observe and learn from handling cases.

To be honest, although Li Binyan handles the case, although he is unreasonable, no one can find fault with each case. His Majesty's family will not be an incompetent person. Apart from not being sophisticated enough, Li Binyan is indeed One capable minister.

Zhou Zhongda didn't dare to make such a request at first, after all, this is Li Binyan's unique skill, the foundation of his family's foothold, but after this contact, Zhou Zhongda found that Li Binyan was not such a difficult person as rumored, so he made a request. Kindly please.

"It's easy to say." Li Binyan replied with a smile without any hesitation.

Before Li Binyan had an argument with the inspector censor of Zhejiang Province and the Shipping Department of Ningbo City, it was Li Binyan who refused to share the experience of the Shipping Department of Songjiang City. Finally, the quarrel came before the emperor, and Li Binyan was willing to disagree after the emperor issued an order.

Li Binyan's temperament is very independent, and he seems to have little trust in anyone all these years, and he looks at everyone as if he was looking at the Kong family in Qufu.

The reason why Li Binyan regards his colleagues as enemies, and the reason why he is so independent, is related to his experience as the governor of Shandong. I'm calling him, once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, the emperor didn't blame Li Binyan for being independent, this is a different person with such an experience, and his temperament is also independent.

After so many years, Li Binyan finally came back to life and stopped hiding.

Zhou Zhongda was overjoyed and took a group of bureaucrats to accompany Li Binyan to Wu Tower.

Li Binyan took the Wuta Song family as an example, and explained the process of copying the house in great detail, but Li Binyan did not elaborate on the secret method of copying the house that he learned from Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong, the Zuo Dudu of Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, the sharpest knife in the hands of His Majesty is the No. What he learned there, even if Li Binyan didn't talk about those secret methods, what he shared opened the eyes of the ground bureaucrats in Jiangsu.

What Li Binyan didn't say is actually the key point. How to find out how many assets the target has, how many assets are held on behalf of others, how many left-handed and right-handed transactions, and how much Tibetan silver is there. It is not publicized if you want to find out. Secret, leisurely enough and outsiders also.

In Lu Zhong's words, ransacking a house is a meticulous job. If you dig up the money in the house and copy it out, that's not considered a skill. It's a skill to sort out and understand the intertwined assets.

And to know this, some methods need to be used, such as buying buyers, such as visiting private people, such as in-depth investigation, such as checking accounts, such as exploring bank channels, these are not clear in a few words, and need to be constantly in actual combat. Only by summing up experience and lessons can we achieve great success.

Li Binyan concluded in conclusion: "Young master Hu admonished me and said something to me: Since ancient times, people who rebelled all the time were farmers. How much money do they have? How much money can they squeeze out?" Drops of oil? Squeeze and squeeze the most peasants who are farming, and that is the time when the end of life is over."

"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han. If he hadn't tried to implement the well field law and forced the people to a dead end, the green forest and the red eyebrows had become a riot. How could the new vitality be only 14 years old? In the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army Stir the world, the world of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still the Liu family's world."

"Let's not talk about the merchants. It is impossible for the rich and powerful to rebel if they want to. For thousands of years, it is this vassal king who can make things happen. But it is difficult for Jing to win, and the Yan family is too."

It is difficult for the Yan Mansion to be quiet, and it is better for Lord Jianwen to cooperate, but if Lord Jianwen almost cooperates, it is unlikely that the Yan Mansion wants to take over the world. On the chessboard, the Emperor of Ming holds the Prince's Mansion, not Xing'an With a single move, Yu Qian, who had predicted the enemy before him, and Shi Heng, who was exhausted and fought again, could be defeated.

Just talk about local affairs in the local area. The biggest scruple in local house raids is to force people to turn against them, and they cannot explain to the court. But in fact, Li Binyan has copied for so many years, and he has never seen a powerful family who dared to rebel. of.

At best, the head of the culprit was taken away from the house. This rebellion has the heads of everyone in the family.

In the Western Han Dynasty, since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, for more than 100 years, wealthy households moved to guard the mausoleum, crop by crop, and no one who threatened the powerful family dared to rebel.

Li Binyan took a group of Tiqimen to ransack the house, and at dusk, he handled the matter cleanly, which made the local officials in Suzhou amazed. Li Binyan was able to do so cleanly and neatly, even with only half of Li Binyan's skill. concern?
Li Bin said that the family members are in Long, and while talking and joking, he handled such a big matter as ransacking the house neatly.

"Lee will leave now." Li Binyan looked at the sun and said with a smile: "Everyone stay here and don't have to go far."

"Governor Li, it's getting late, or you can stay in Wu Tower, and I'll do my best to be a landlord, and ask for advice." Zhou Zhongda was extremely surprised. Eating, drinking, having fun, Zhou Zhongda was ready to bleed heavily, and he even greeted the painting boat of Yangzhou Huakui. How could he imagine that Li Binyan would go back at such a late hour?

"Songjiang Mansion is like this. There are many things to do, and there are still some things to deal with when I go back, so I won't stay any longer." Li Bin said that he had decided to leave. He could be sophisticated if he was asked to be sophisticated, but he was really not good at being sophisticated. , he doesn't have that talent.

Seeing Li Binyan's resolute attitude, Zhou Zhongda didn't stay any longer, bowed his head and said, "Send Governor Li."

"It's easy to say." Li Binyan got into the car, and a group of people rushed back to Songjiang Mansion overnight.

Zhou Zhongda looked at Li Binyan's car for a long time before he said, "Governor Li finally understands how to be an official."

Yu Qian once suggested that Li Binyan should return to Beijing. Once the Northern Expedition of the Great Ming Army was wiped out, Li Binyan would be the one chosen by Yu Qian to replace him. .

Whether a minister is capable or not depends on his ability, and whether he is a good minister or not depends not only on his ability, but also on his reputation.

Li Binyan can't go to the sky to see, so naturally he has to do a good job of this official, make it transparent, and make it clear.
