The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 353 Xu Da is a big liar. Go complain to Lord Ye. Lord Wu is great!

The early morning sunshine shines on the gate of Ningbo Mansion, which is even grander than the Royal Mansion.

The gilded stone lion eyes reflected dazzling golden light under the sunlight, as if they suddenly came to life.

At the same time, people from Ningbo Prefecture and business travelers operating here also came to the government one after another to do business.

The comfort and prosperity of Ningbo are in sharp contrast to the devastated Zhengzhou.

now,

The three elite soldiers of the Northern Army who had returned from Zhengzhou dismounted, ignored their horses, and rushed into the mansion.

At the same time, the doorkeepers led their horses to the stables.

No communication is needed for all this, they have already formed the tacit understanding they should have.

In front of the government office, in the study room of Ningbo Prefecture's office, Wu Yong was so busy that his feet were not touching the floor, but he could still be considered multi-tasking.

He should be consulted for court trials, decisions on important matters such as scholarship, agriculture, industry, and commerce should be consulted by him, and government treasurers should be consulted on him.

But now he has learned Ye Qing's tricks. Matters that he doesn't have to deal with will not be reported to him.

Overall, it was quite busy.

"Master Wu,"

"Master Ye wants you to send a car and ship to Zhengzhou."

After saying this main content, the veteran soldier held the kettle and started drinking.

While reviewing the documents from each county, Wu Yong said with a slight smile: "As expected of Mr. Ye, you can still bring back some local products when you go to a disaster-stricken place like that."

"What kind of local products are they? How much are they? How many vehicles and ships are they going to take?"

The elite soldier put down the kettle and said: "There are more than 4,000 yellow-flowered girls and more than 3,000 young and strong men."

"There are almost 8,000 people in total. How many cars and boats do you think we will need?"

Wu Yong just blinked and sprayed a sip of tea directly into the air, atomizing it evenly.

"What did you say?"

"The souvenirs he harvested turned out to be for eight thousand people?"

When Wu Yong said this, his hand on the table shook unconsciously.

But he quickly regained his composure. He could not act like the world was falling apart in front of his subordinates.

Although his heart is now shattered, there is no difference.

Wu Yong forced himself to calm down and said, "Did Mr. Ye tell me what the purpose of buying so many yellow-flowered girls and young men is?"

The elite soldier from the Northern Army who came back shook his head and said, "Master Ye said that after you send a car and a boat to bring him back, you can arrange them however you want, as long as you don't do anything that harms the country and the people."

Wu Yong nodded and said: "I understand, you go down and rest!"

But just when the elite soldier was about to go out, Wu Yong hurriedly stopped him and opened three reward slips worth ten guan for them to receive the reward.

After the elite soldier left, Wu Yong walked alone to the open space of the back office and looked in the direction of Zhengzhou in a daze.

But he was not in a daze, but trying to figure out Ye Qing's true intention.

"My Lord Ye, you are giving me a difficult problem!"

"Why did you bring back these young men and women among the victims?"

"Presumably, your big acquisition move has already reached the ears of Hu Weiyong and others."

"."

Wu Yong knew that Ye Qing must have thought of this too.

From Wu Yong's point of view, Ye Qing knew that his opponent would definitely know about such a big move, and he must have a reason for insisting on doing it.

And Ye Qing's reason is that he, Wu Yong, can definitely handle this matter perfectly.

And if you want to handle this matter perfectly, you must do two things.

First, these young men and women should be properly arranged to avoid officials taking advantage of the situation.

Second, let His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in Yingtian Mansion, know that Ye Qing brought these young men and women to Ningbo Mansion just to save them.

It was obvious that the young men and women bought by Ye Qing were all people who sold their bodies to bury their relatives, or they were people who really couldn't survive because of the disaster.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong immediately had an idea.

After he returned to the study, he immediately wrote the warrant.

Ningbo Prefectural Government Order No. 1: "Send vehicles and ships capable of carrying 8,000 people to Zhengzhou to pick up people." Ningbo Prefectural Government Order No. 2: "In Ningbo Prefecture, arrange 4,000 male positions in advance. Positions can be arranged. Officials Farming in the farmland, grazing in the government-owned pasture, resettlement in the government-owned industrial park and Donghai Mining Group, and then the Ningbo garrison will be arranged as appropriate."

Ningbo Prefectural Government Order No. 3: "The entire prefecture will conduct a survey of single men of suitable age, and select the best to be married to official wives. Priority will be given to those whose families have contributed to the development of Ningbo Prefecture."

Ningbo Government Office No. 4 Warrant: "Unsuccessful marriage women will be assigned non-brothel service positions."

Wu Yong looked at the four handwritten warrants, and after considering them again and again, he nodded with satisfaction.

He had done his best to arrange eight thousand men and women.

Men have their own livelihoods, and women must either marry a good man or arrange a legitimate business to support themselves.

Soon, Wu Yong made a copy of the four warrants again.

One copy will be handed over to the people below for execution, and the other will be handed over to His Majesty the Emperor for review along with his memorial.

After arranging everything, Wu Yong began to write the memorial again.

After writing the memorial, he immediately called the post soldiers and said: "It will be delivered to the capital within three days, and it must be handed over to Xu Da, the right minister of Zhongshu."

“Remember, it’s the Right Chancellor Xu Da, not the Right Chancellor Hu Weiyong!”

After the post soldiers received the memorial and the backup copy of the order, they just bowed and went directly to Yingtian Emperor City.

In the afternoon three days later,

Wu used the post soldiers sent to the capital to rush to Zhongshu Province, and directly met Xu Da, who occasionally came to Zhongshu Province to work.

The post soldier looked at Xu Da who was stretching his muscles in the open space, and ran forward to salute:

"Xu Shuai, the general judge of Ningbo Prefecture, Wu Yong, has submitted a report on behalf of Ningbo Prefecture Magistrate Ye Qing, and asked his subordinates to hand it over to you personally."

When Xu Da heard that he was playing on behalf of Ye Qing, and also pointed out that he wanted to hand it over to him personally, he quickly walked over.

After the postman handed the memorial to Xu Da, he handed the four warrants to Xu Da and said: "Master Wu said that this memorial should be read in conjunction with the warrants."

Xu Da immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that this Ye Qing was not simple, and the deputy who followed Ye Qing also had new tricks.

You actually want him to read the memorial together with the local administrative warrant?

"I know this, please go down and rest!"

The postman bowed, then decisively turned around and left.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw two elite soldiers of the Northern Army coming towards him.

"Didn't you follow Mr. Ye to Zhengzhou? Why did you come to Zhongshu Province?"

The postman asked.

One of the elite soldiers of the Northern Army said: "Master Ye asked us to send a bunch of memorials. He said that it was too important to use the post soldiers in Zhengzhou."

"By the way, brother, where is Hu Xiang?"

"Master Ye said that this pile of memorials must be handed over to Prime Minister Hu personally."

The postman immediately turned around to point the way, but before he could speak, he saw Xu Da coming towards him.

Just before, Xu Da was about to go back to his study to read the memorials and warrants when he saw this scene.

Moreover, he also heard Ye Qing's strange request of naming names and delivering them to Hu Weiyong.

In his opinion, this request is indeed very strange!

Don't give it to him by name, Brother Xu, who will definitely not harm him Ye Qing, but name him by name and give it to Hu Weiyong, who will definitely harm him?

Isn’t this the brain being crushed by a stone mill?

Thinking of this, Xu Da said solemnly and seriously: "Hu Xiang has a bad stomach. He will take leave today and leave it to me."

"This"

Before the elite soldier of the Northern Army could say anything, Xu Da immediately took action and grabbed the baggage containing a bunch of memorials.

"I will hand it over to Prime Minister Hu. You go back!"

Although the elite soldiers of the Northern Army were elite soldiers who fought in hundreds of battles, when facing Xu Da, the military god of the Ming Dynasty, they could only bow before turning around and leaving.

But before they had gone far, they heard Hu Weiyong's voice coming from behind.

"Xu Shuai, what are you holding in your hand?"

Xu Da casually said: "Ye Qing sent someone to give me a souvenir!"

When the elite soldiers of the Northern Army heard this, they just sighed and quickened their pace to leave.

They did not dare to file a complaint against Xu Da to Hu Weiyong, so they had no choice but to go back and file a complaint against Xu Da to Ye Qing!
