Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 337
Even after the construction is completed, Zhu Houzhao can learn from the methods of later generations and release the construction rights of the rail carriages, that is, contract them to individuals, and the road repairs will be paid for by individuals.

As for the repayment of this money, individuals can set up checkpoint charges.Similar to the toll booths of later generations, this is also a method from later generations, and later generations used this method to build countless highways.

Of course, when the arrears are paid off and the highway checkpoints still exist, the money will still be collected. This is another problem.

All the people present were shocked by Zhu Houzhao's big cake, can it really be done?

But their idea is also very simple, no matter whether it can be done or not, if 3000 million taels of silver is really invested, can they make a lot of money from it?
Thinking of this, everyone present became excited, and looked at Zhu Houzhao in a different way.

As for the ransacking of Zhu Houzhao's house and the arrest of people before, it has long been forgotten by everyone. I am not the one who was arrested. I am busy making a fortune now, so how can I care about it?
Of course, this is the northwest, so it's different in the capital.After various impeachment memorials entered the capital, the entire capital was in chaos in an instant.

Zhu Youtang looked at the memorabilia on the table, the expression on his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Sure enough, his son just didn't let himself worry.He arrested dozens of gentry, confiscated all their property, and escorted them all to Guyuan City.It is said that all these people will be dispatched to the grassland to build the city wall.

Zhu Youtang felt that when they finished repairing the city wall, it would be hard to say how many people would survive.

This is not the key point, the key point is that after the news reached the capital, it caused an uproar in an instant, and the impeachment of the prince flew into the palace like snowflakes.

The ministers were really scared this time, yes, scared.As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, who knows if he will be found out like this?
"Your Majesty, the memorial of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He Neng walked to Zhu Youtang's side, and said cautiously.

His Majesty is in a very bad mood these days, and the reason is naturally that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is far away in the northwest.Now that His Royal Highness has come to give the memorial, He Nengke knows what the consequences will be. Maybe His Majesty will be in a better mood, or maybe he will just be angrier!

"Bring it up." Zhu Youtang became angry when he heard the words His Royal Highness, and reached out to take the memorial presented by He Neng and began to read it.

After looking at it for a few times, Zhu Youtang's expression changed, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

The content of this memorial is very simple, Zhu Houzhao just wrote down what happened.Of course, the Huanyi Bureau will never appear in the memorial.

According to the memorial, Zhu Houzhao took people all over the Northwest to investigate and visit the refugees.Anyway, on the surface, Zhu Houzhao went out to deal with refugees.

During the investigation, Zhu Houzhao discovered that the Northwest refugees had a lot to do with these lawless gentry.In order not to scare the snake away, Zhu Houzhao cleaned up every family without finding them. Instead, after finding out everything, Li Ting swept the holes and arrested everyone.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Youtang to dismiss all the officials of the gentry's family who were implicated this time, and at the same time sent them to Guyuan City to repair the city wall.

"Building the city wall, you know how to build the city wall." Zhu Youtang scolded, but the expression on his face was not so angry.

At the end of the memorandum, Zhu Houzhao asked to play, and in the future, all such things will be handled accordingly; those who are not strict with the royal family will be dismissed.Anyone who has a big case at home will be assigned directly. To put it bluntly, it is a continuous sitting.

These days, everyone is no stranger to this matter, because even sitting in the law of Ming Dynasty is allowed.In the Ming Dynasty, the crimes related to family members being convicts were mainly treason, treason, treason, murder of three people in a family, harvesting and dismantling people, making livestock poisoning and killing people, etc.

When someone in an official's family commits a crime, he must hand in a letter of obeisance immediately to show that he is not strict with his family.

As for whether to be dismissed, it depends on the mood of the emperor.If the emperor is unhappy with you, then you have to go home; but if the emperor thinks that you are not bad, he will comfort you, and even issue an order to pardon the sins of the people in your family.

Zhu Youtang has done this kind of thing before, and it is a matter of convention.Of course, that's basically it. Resignation is the biggest punishment, and basically you won't sit still.

Unless it is a charge of rebellion, this is also an insurance that the scholars set up for themselves.

However, Zhu Houzhao's approach has abolished this insurance. In the place where the family is rampant, the officials will not only be dismissed from office, but will also be charged with the most serious crime, directly dragged to Guyuan to repair the city wall.

Who can stand this?Not to mention anything else, I know very well what is going on in my own home.

How did the family get rich? Who doesn't do something like destroy the family?Otherwise, how did those refugees come here?

They all say that their family is the heirloom of plowing and reading, but you have to have land for plowing and reading, right?Where did this place come from?It fell from the sky?Saved by farming?Or is it divided by the government?
It is not someone else's land.Why did you give other people's land to you?Either it was cast, or you snatched it.You just give it when you steal it?So much filth and sordidness in here.

If it was really revealed and condemned, wouldn't people like myself be condemned at any time?

Originally, it was dismissed from office at most, and it was not even necessary.Even if he is dismissed from office, he might recover after going back to stay for a few years. This is nothing more than a normal thing.

Now His Royal Highness is doing this, how can it work?
The welfare we have fought for ourselves for so many years, if you say overthrow it, it will be overthrown?

So the memorials naturally flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son's memorial, thinking about how to do this matter in his heart.This matter will definitely not work if it goes on like this, we have to think of a solution.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." Seeing that Zhu Youtang was still standing there, He Neng couldn't help but took a few steps forward, reminding him cautiously.

This made He Neng very curious about His Royal Highness' memorial, what exactly was written?How could His Majesty be like this?But He Neng didn't dare to ask!

Glancing at the sky outside, Zhu Youtang sighed, he was a bit dizzy, he knew that the morning court today might not be able to stop, and someone would impeach his son directly.

If it is really one-sided, what should I do?Could it be that he really brought his son back from the northwest?Then punish it?
Can't do that!

If you really do this, it will make your son's majesty disgraced, and at the same time let the courtiers override the prince.This is not the way to govern the country!

Even the son will harbor resentment in his heart, and he doesn't know his son's temper?If he really remembered the grudges of these impeached people, he might kill them directly when he succeeds to the throne.

Zhu Youtang never doubted whether his son would dare to kill someone.
