The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Corruption and bribery, collusion with pirates, kidnapping the prince, drugging the prince, occupying farmland, blocking canals, smuggling salt, driving up salt prices... so many crimes are enough for those officials to die a hundred times.

But the problem is that there are too many officials involved, and almost all the officials from Nanjing Six Departments are in the list submitted by His Highness the First Prince.

Some people in the DPRK objected.

The law does not blame the public, besides, there is no one in the Six Departments of Nanjing, so who will do the work?
The emperor smiled and asked, "Why must there be people in the Six Departments of Nanjing?"

The court shook!

What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Do you want to abolish the Nanjing Six Departments directly?Abolished Nanzhili?

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, the Ministry of Officials has not yet drawn up a new list of officials from the six ministries of Nanjing.

The meaning is clear.

The seven cabinet ministers were also shocked.

Even Song Jianming was surprised.

This matter was actually brought up by Song Jianming.

He looked through the account books of the Ministry of Households over the years, and found that since Emperor Huizong moved the capital, the treasury's expenditure on official salaries has almost doubled.

The reason is not difficult to imagine, one court has become two courts, the number of bureaucrats in the central government has doubled, and the wages paid out will naturally increase.

When the number of officials increases, the families of these officials will receive donations and annex land, so that tax revenue will decrease.

One goes up and down, doesn't the emperor feel that the money is not enough?
After Song Jianming found out about this, he carefully asked the emperor twice whether he could find a way to cancel the Nanjing Six Departments step by step, so that the treasury could relax more quickly.

Song Jianming knew that the emperor had moved his mind, but he always thought that he would have to wait at least a few years before talking about it. Unexpectedly, before the New Year passed, Nanjing Liubu disappeared out of thin air!
Fortunately, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, otherwise, with the emperor's power of action, the country would have to be turned upside down by him.

The court was in turmoil, and Song Qingyue was also alarmed.

The next day, she called Mrs. Liang to the palace to inquire about the situation. As the eldest prince's concubine, she had to know what was going on in the court.

Seeing Song Qingyue, Mrs. Liang saluted Song Qingyue respectfully, and was immediately supported by Nanny Bai.

"Mom, stop being so polite, why didn't father let me know about such a big matter!" Song Qingyue frowned while pulling Liang Shi to sit down.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Liang smiled wryly: "Your father was still blaming you for being too strict last night. You didn't reveal such a big matter to your family."

"Daddy doesn't know either?"

Mrs. Liang shook her head helplessly: "Your father still said that for such a big matter, the emperor will not discuss it with the cabinet, and just do it."

After the two of them said it, they both couldn't laugh or cry.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Song family. The Song family has no connections in Nanzhili, so when the two of them discussed this matter, their tone and demeanor were quite relaxed.

But that's not the case in the court.

There are not a few officials who have relations with the officials of the Six Ministries in Nanjing.

Many officials even regard Nanjing No. [-] as a place to retire in the future.

The emperor canceled it when he said it would be cancelled. What will they do when they get old?
So most officials do not agree.

However, it was useless to object, and the emperor blocked them back with one sentence: "The officials from the six ministries of Nanjing teamed up with the Japanese pirates to kidnap the fifth prince, colluded with foreign enemies, and intended to rebel. Do you want me to tolerate it? Or say yes, everyone here is related to those rebels." ?”

The officials vomited blood!

It's a good thing to be labeled as "colluding with foreign enemies with the intention of rebelling", who else dares to say a word?

Did officials in Jiangnan resist?

Of course there is resistance.

But no matter how much he resisted, the First Prince had [-] soldiers from the Firearms Battalion in his hands.

In the face of cross-age weapons, the bravery recruited by some local tyrants in the south of the Yangtze River is simply like a mantis arm, vulnerable to a single blow.

The eldest prince Li Zhao was probably also influenced by Song Qingyue. After saving his younger brother, he asked Ning Yuan to send him back to the capital safely. run.

When you arrive at the place, send someone down to inform the people that if your property has been invaded, or you have been bullied or persecuted by the local rich and famous family, you can go to the magistrate's yamen to complain to the eldest prince, His Highness King Jin!
As long as one hears of a family that has forced people to death or robbed civilian women, His Royal Highness will immediately send someone to search the house.Then the acquired land will be returned to the small people whose land has been invaded.

As for those small people who volunteered to become tenants by offering land to the squire's home, they were all recorded.After the land was returned to them, they only had the right to use it, but not the right to buy and sell it, and the land belonged to the imperial court.They are still tenants, but they are not tenants of any family or surname, but tenants of the imperial court, and they need to pay twice as much tax as ordinary self-cultivating farmers.

Although this matter has not been clearly stipulated, but he did so, and once spread it to ten, ten spread it to a hundred, and some of the small people who were going to the Lord Juren's house to donate land hesitated.

Although most people still only care about the immediate benefits, but now that Li Zhao has taken the lead, the speed of land annexation will slow down.

It is a good thing for the country and the people.

What benefits the country and the people does not necessarily benefit officials.

Soon, memorials to impeach His Highness the First Prince flew to the emperor's table like snowflakes.

The emperor naturally ignored it.

Regarding Li Zhao's impeachment, Mr. Song also got through with Song Qingyue through Mrs. Liang in time.

Song Qingyue was worried, but not much.

This matter has not been written into a clear regulation, so it is still a small-scale pilot.

Those who impeached Li Zhao were also mostly from Jiangnan.

His own family has been affected, so he will naturally be impeached.

But the majority of people in this world just sweep the snow before their own doors and don't care about others. As long as Li Zhao's behavior does not exceed the border of Nanzhili, they will stand on the sidelines.

Anyway, Li Zhao is the eldest prince who has made great achievements.

The number one person in the world who can't be offended is that one.

~
On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Qingyue was crouching on the soft and warm couch in Baoguang Hall making obscene clothes for Li Zhao.

Li Qiushui sat on the side to learn arithmetic.

Song Qingyue plans to send Li Qiushui to Tianjin next spring, so she is training her recently.

In fact, it is extremely unruly for the female family members of the back house to stay in the front yard all the time.

But the rules are farting in front of Song Qingyue.

If you want to live your little life quietly, you can't stay in the backyard.

A few days ago, Liang Liangyuan in the backyard had a little conflict with Concubine Ning and was beaten by Concubine Ning. She wanted to come to the front yard to complain to Song Qingyue, but was stopped by Li Zhaoxia's guards.

When Nanny Bai found out, she pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't tell Song Qingyue, so as not to disturb her.

Li Zhao knew that he loved Song Qingyue too much, and there were too many women with status and status in the backyard, so it was inevitable that some people would have crooked thoughts.

In order to ensure Song Qingyue's safety, he simply let her live in his dormitory directly, and did not give the women in the back house the slightest chance to get close to Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue lived very comfortably in Li Zhao's territory, and she didn't even want to go back to her zongzi nest in the future.

When I have the energy, I give lessons to the maids in the house, or think about the telegraph.

She even made an electric bell experimentally between the back room of the Baoguang Hall and the side room where people waited.

The structure of the electric bell is also simple. There is a small motor inside the copper metal casing. Song Qingyue is already familiar with this kind of thing.

In the absence of insulating rubber, Song Qingyue ordered someone to brush a layer of resin on the surface of the copper wire used for electrification.

However, because there were no batteries with long enough life, she changed the switch that triggered the bell to a hand crank.

To put it bluntly, it is just connecting an electric bell to a small hand-cranked generator. Every time she wants the electric bell in the ear room to ring, she has to turn the hand-crank handle hard.

In this way, Song Qingyue found two difficulties - first, there was no stable power supply to power the telegraph, and second, the buzzer could not be made yet.

But don't worry, she can think about these two things slowly.

When she doesn't want to use her brain, she likes to do some manual work.

Bai Momo laughed that she didn't look like a mother: "The wife of the other family is making small clothes and trousers for the little one in her stomach at this time, and you are the only one who has such a big heart and wants to make them for His Highness."

Mohen said slowly from the side: "This is where our concubine is brilliant!"

After thinking about it, Bai Momo also laughed: "That's right, the little prince's things are made by old slaves, so the empress can just make His Highness happy."

Song Qingyue shook her head and said arrogantly: "Then you all guessed wrong. With my poor craftsmanship, how can I make it for Guaibao? The thread ends can't be collected well, so what should I do if I grind Guaibao? Your Highness is rough-skinned and thick-skinned , wear-resistant!"

Li Qiushui suddenly joked: "Your Majesty is soft everywhere, but her mouth is very hard!"

One sentence made everyone in the room laugh.

In the warm room, the master and servants were chatting and laughing, Xiao Zao walked in from the outside and said: "Princess, Mrs. Xing's family handed over the greeting card, saying that she wants to come to see the empress this afternoon."

"Come in the afternoon?" Bai Momo was surprised.

Generally speaking, invitations are handed out at least one day in advance, and where invitations are handed out in the morning, they will come in the afternoon.

After all, Mrs. Xing is a lady from a scholarly family, why is she so chaotic?

"This Mrs. Zhuangyuan is really good. Although the two families were close in the past, no matter what, we girls are already princesses now. We should be more polite, right?"

"Nurse, it's okay!" Song Qingyue looked at the greeting card in her hand, and her face lost the ease she had just now.

The Xing family is a big family in the Luzhou Prefecture of Nanzhili.

Xing Zhuangyuan is still a direct branch of the Xing family.

Song Qingyue didn't know if the Xing family was affected by this incident, but there was a high probability that such a big family would be found out.

Just talking about accepting donations, there must be too many people to be scared to death.

No wonder Mrs. Xing was so anxious.

Song Qingyue rubbed her forehead, this matter is not easy to handle.

Mo Fan was the first to understand why Mrs. Xing came to see the princess in a hurry, and she immediately said: "Madam, why don't you go back because your servant said you were unwell?"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "It's too cool to do so."

"That……"

"Let Mrs. Xing come over in the afternoon." Song Qingyue said.

Mo Fan frowned: "What does the princess plan to do when she sees Mrs. Xing?"

Song Qingyue sighed lightly: "Tell her the truth. Comparing my heart to my heart, if I am in her position, no matter whether it is good news or bad news, I always hope to have news. If she is willing to listen to me, everything will be easy to handle. If If she refuses to listen to me, that can't be blamed on me."

This matter is not without room for change,

She will not hide.
