Chapter 91
Master Ma knew that he had already impressed his staff, so he spoke harder.

"Actually, there is no need for Master Shangshu to do anything? After a while, several important officials of the court will jointly elect my master to be the prefect of Jiazhou. When the time comes, please trouble Master Shangshu to be a favor, so what if the officials don't recommend my master."

"Department push?"

"Don't push it! In this way, the Shangshu master will be preserved, and the responsibility of the official department will be given to the emperor. Why not do it!"

This is a way, after all, if you fight against the emperor, you will lose your head sooner or later.

Master Ma knew that he had convinced his staff.

"The rest depends on Brother Hanfu's good words."

"There is also a reason for this recommendation. Just the recommendation of the important officials of the court will not convince the scholars of the world."

What kind of scholar, isn't it the reputation of Shangshu?It's just being a bitch and wanting to set up a memorial archway.

"My lord has already submitted a letter to the imperial court to offer suggestions for the imperial court to open up financial resources to solve the shortage of Liao's salary. It will be announced to the world soon, Brother Hanfu, you can rest assured."

"Then wait for the good news from Brother Bond."

wait?That is looking.snort!As long as your master has the strength of a small family, he can't be the chief assistant.

After that, Master Ma didn't continue to entangle the matter with the minister's staff, and started toasting and bragging to each other.

After a few days, Mr. Ma couldn't wait for the news from the palace, so he was very anxious.I don't know which link is wrong.It wasn't until Eunuch Li sent someone to tell the chief assistant that he didn't believe that the briquette could bring benefits to the court.It has been procrastinating.

Now that you know where the problem is, it's easier to deal with it.

As for Shoufu's disbelief that briquette can bring benefits to the imperial court, fortunately Zhang Zongxian had already had this plan when he came to the capital.Then he explained how the master promoted honeycomb coal.

Carrying out gifts and trials in the newly opened banks in the capital will inevitably lead to the emulation of the people in the capital.You can also advertise for the Taiping Bank.

After choosing a date, Mr. Ma bought a house outside the city to make briquettes, and contacted a blacksmith shop to build a hundred special stoves.

On the chosen day, people first set up [-] stoves in front of the store to boil water continuously, and provide free hot water to passing merchants and common people.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people in front of the door, and neighbors in the neighborhood came to fetch hot water.

Li Ergou introduced the benefits of this honeycomb coal stove to the common people who came to see the excitement.There is also a preferential policy on site, as long as you buy 100 yuan of honeycomb coal, you will get a special stove for free.Limited to the first [-] customers only.

Living in Beijing is not easy!And the low-level officials of various ministries in the capital are the best at settling accounts.The Taiping Bank is specially opened near the residences of these Beijing officials.

One briquette for three pennies, and ten briquettes can be burned for a day and a night, which is much more cost-effective than buying charcoal.It can also boil water for cooking.

Soon eighty briquette stoves were delivered.

The people who were a step behind began to abuse, saying that the Taiping number was not particular, so only [-] were given away.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Master Ma immediately stood up and said to the people who did not get the briquette stove, "I have prepared [-] stoves in a hurry today, but today I only need to place an order to buy [-] briquettes. Once the stove is built, you can come and get it."

All the people living nearby are officials, so there is no shortage of this money.Nearly a thousand briquettes were pre-sold soon.Although I lost some stove money, the effect is very good.

Soon, imitation honeycomb briquettes were sold by the common people.Hundreds of officials in the court also began to discuss the convenience of this thing.

It's a pity that Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant, decided that it was the emperor who wanted to continue collecting mining taxes, so he wanted to delay it.

Master Ma didn't know what Shoufu was thinking, so he could only continue to wait.On this day, Li Ergou came to report and said:

In the past few days, the Guozijian and the places where scholars gather say that the officials have started to impeach the magistrate of Qingjian County again.It's all about the court, the county magistrate.

Mr. Ma thought to himself that he wanted to deal with you when the troops retired, but now that he is so ignorant, he can only blame you for his bad luck.

Master Ma first arranged for Li Ergou to collect the speakers who danced the most.I'm going to use these officials to make an example to others.

Soon three officials were locked in, all of whom claimed to be deadly admonitions.

First, bribe their family members to see if they can get any news.Then send people to their hometown to investigate to see if there is any bullying, buying and selling by force.

If not then create it.

Soon, I learned from a servant of the speech officer surnamed Li that he had been in chaos and abandoned the speech officer.When he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he was a poor scholar, and he was tied up with an outdated oiran.

The oiran provided for him to eat, drink and study. In the end, after this son was admitted to the Jinshi, it was for his own future.He actually sold that oiran to a brothel in a border area.

It is true that he is a bastard like Chen Shimei.

It's easy to say when you have a handle, this is the kind of thing that people love to watch.Master Ma immediately arranged for the two old men to pretend to be the parents of the oiran, and find the important person in the official's house.Be noisy and rowdy on the spot.It's best to let everyone on the street where Yan Guan lives know.

In the evening after the disturbance, Mr. Ma arranged for the troublemaker to commit suicide by taking poison at the gate of Yanguan's house.Master Ma gave the lives of these two old people who had enough money to buy them.

For a while, the biggest topic in the capital was the behavior of this speech officer named Li Chen Shimei.In the end, the speech officer surnamed Li had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown.

Then Master Ma dealt with the second one, a speech officer surnamed Wang.It's better to bribe his servants to check his personal moral issues.As a result, I learned a shocking melon.

It turned out that the speaker was an old pervert who actually insulted his daughter-in-law.The man's daughter-in-law is also from a family of officials.

After learning about this, Master Ma immediately made a plan.He began to spread this matter among the ladies of the official family, and he said it with nose and eyes.

First form the pressure of public opinion, and then arrange for a group of children to sing around the carriage when the daughter-in-law returns to her natal home: "The father-in-law is pressing down on the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is riding on the father-in-law."

Within a few days, it was reported that the daughter-in-law there had hanged herself, and her family made a big disturbance at Wang Yanguan's mansion.The daughter-in-law's natal family uttered a word, and vowed not to give up until the official was killed.

After solving the two officials, the third one surnamed Liu has never had anything to do with him. He has no problems with his personal morality in all aspects, and he even has a good name, which is not easy to handle.I am most afraid of such a real gentleman.He is also the most likely to really go to die.

After thinking about it, Mr. Ma finally came up with a poisonous plan.First, he arranged for someone to approach the speaker's father, and he continued to treat guests to dinner and stroll around the kiln.

He also gave the old man a lot of tiger wolf medicine, and arranged three girls to serve him every time he visited the brothel.The old man was forced to die in the brothel.

Filial piety comes first, and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has very high requirements for officials' filial piety.The speech officer surnamed Liu can only go home and keep his filial piety.

Wanli hates these officials the most, no matter how good they are, they won't steal their love from him.
