Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1043 Great Contribution

  Ouyang Zhi's memorials began to be presented, and Emperor Hongzhi put them on the imperial case.

  He murmured in a low voice, looking at each name seriously.

  Actually, the names in it...are very common and unheard of.

  Dingxing County Criminal House Secretary Zhang Jian, Dingxing County Criminal House Official Wang Yong...Dingxing County Lifang Secretary Wang Yong...Of course, there is also Household House Secretary Tian Jing...

   These names are so common that they cannot be more common.

  In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, he is really a dusty figure.

  For the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, it is not worth mentioning.

  Even if it is just any person, a doorman somewhere, walking outside is straighter than these people.

  But now...a group of such inconspicuous people appeared in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

   Behind each person, their achievements are recorded.

   Some of them were quick catchers and had captured big thieves;

  Some of them wore coir raincoats and patrolled in the storm in order to ensure that the work sheds under construction would not be lost during the rainstorm.

  Some have come up with a new method of accounting for money and food, which greatly improves efficiency.

  In order to guard the thieves who stole the warehouse, they squatted outside the warehouse for several days and nights.

  Some of these are trivial matters, and some of them are meritorious. But how much credit can these petty officials have?

  But the credits listed one by one are now placed in front of the emperor. Speaking of it...it's a bit funny.

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were very clear, and he didn't take them lightly.

  Emperor Hongzhi knew very well that this little 'little thing' was precisely the accumulation of little things that condensed the sand dunes.

  Emperor Hongzhi wrote down every name carefully.

  After looking carefully, he raised his head and said, "Tian Qing's family..."

   "In...in..." Tian Jing responded quickly. He didn't expect Emperor Hongzhi to call his name again, and he was still flustered.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "There was a water leak in the house, and a heavy rainstorm almost destroyed all the official documents of the house. You took the people in the house to climb up to the roof under the rainstorm and wanted to mend the leak. You fell off the roof and stayed in bed for half a month before you could get up, right?"

   "Ah..." Tian Jing was stunned, and then he understood why Emperor Hongzhi asked such a question.

  Emperor Hongzhi asked this question, it must have been written in the memorial.

  He didn't expect that Ouyang envoy still remembered this incident, not only remembered, but also reported this...to the emperor.

  This matter, in fact, even he himself almost forgot.

  At that time, I just wanted to keep the yellow books and books of the house, and I didn't think so much, but now...

  He subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Zhi.

  Ouyang Zhi still has an expressionless face, still so unpredictable.

But…

   At this time, Tian Jing's tears were blurred, and there was only gratitude in his heart.

Tian Jing is very clear about his identity. What is a mere official? Don't think he is great in front of the common people, but in front of the officials, he is not as good as a dog. Who would take your life and death to heart, let If you can't do things well, you'll just hit the board, and your skin will be torn to pieces.

  But Ouyang envoy him...

   "Yes... yes..." Tian Jing nodded excitedly.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, looked at Tian Jing expectantly, and then slowly said: "Also, when collecting taxes, you lead people around to clear the land and verify every account. For a month in a row, you only You can sleep for three hours, can't you?"

   "This... I've said... too much." Tian Jing hurriedly said: "Sometimes, you can still take a break during the break."

  Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, speaking of it, I seem to only sleep for so few hours, but unfortunately... no one will give me credit.

  However...Emperor Hongzhi still looked at this field mirror with admiration.

   "That's right, the most fearful thing in everything is seriousness. With the word seriousness, you can be called a capable official. This achievement in Dingxing County is not unrelated to your diligence..."

   "Your Majesty..."

  Hearing His Majesty's praise, even if it's just a word of diligence, is enough to make Tian Jing completely collapse.

  Damn it... Your Majesty praises me for being diligent, and the emperor praises me for being a capable official!

   Tian Jing suddenly felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, and even if he died, he would have no regrets. If you are going to die in the future, you have to record this event on your tombstone, and you can brag about it for eighteen lifetimes.

He was so excited that tears flooded out, he couldn't help hammering his chest, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This is all Ouyang Envoy's love, what is the matter of these things that the villain does, Ouyang Envoy... He...he is a good county magistrate, if he hadn't urged him, if he hadn't brought the little people, the little people...what are they, they are nothing..."

  Everyone looked at Tian Jing in unison, this mere official, his performance in front of the imperial court can only be described as ridiculous.

  But at this time, no one can laugh anymore, because...

  They looked at Ouyang Zhi, seeing Ouyang Zhi's dull look, his face was calm, but in their hearts... they were shocked.

   It's no wonder that Dingxing County was able to implement the New Deal. Everyone knows that reform is not easy, but Dingxing County can be so effective.

   Come to think of it, most of the guards in Dingxing County work for Ouyang Zhi when they are desperate. Who doesn't know that Ouyang Zhi is a modest gentleman, as long as he works with him, he can give you his heart.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Ouyang Zhi, feeling awe in his heart.

  Some people are like this, maybe his status is not high, maybe...he is still young...but this person exudes an aura of admiration from top to bottom.

   And Ouyang Zhi is such a person.

  Of course, his mentor... Fang Jifan, may also be!

  Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding his head in relief, and said, "Okay, the Qing family doesn't have to cry anymore. You are a hero, so you should be happy. Why are you crying?"

   After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi said again: "All the people in this credit book will be transcribed, copied and distributed to the residence newspaper, so that all officials in the world can learn from it."

  Xiao Jing on the side listened, and hurriedly said: "Your maid obeys the order."

  Na Tian Jing was even more excited and almost jumped up.

   Your Majesty's order...

  I am... going to be famous...

  A small official wants to become famous all over the world...

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, but he heard Emperor Hongzhi say: "Just now Fang Qing's family gave a report, saying that this is a pilot project of the new policy, which should be gradually implemented. What he said makes sense. How about the Qing family carrying out the new policies of the Baoding government?"

   "The minister complies with the order." Ouyang Zhi replied, he is not a person who is good at bargaining, he just tries his best to do what his majesty says, or what his mentor says.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued: "Then, let Zhang Chang, the magistrate of Dingxing County, take over the post of magistrate for you. The Qing family will rest in Beijing for a few days, and then go to Baoding Mansion to take up the post!"

"No." Ouyang Zhi seldom denied it, and continued: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate Zhang Chang has been complaining about illness. For more than a year, he rarely showed up in the county office. I don't have any prejudice against Zhang Xiancheng. It's just that... the new policy has a lot to do with it, and the chief officer must be familiar with the new policy, otherwise, if he is a little careless, his previous efforts will be wasted. Since your Majesty has ordered the minister to be the magistrate of Baoding, and to be in charge of the new policies of the counties in Baoding Prefecture, then please take your order back."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  This... the county magistrate is sick...

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then, how about the county chief?"

  Ouyang Zhi continued to shake his head: "Your Majesty, the Master Wang has also been suffering from relapses of his old illnesses, and he has also been sick for more than a year."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

  He suddenly understood that this was not just a simple complaint.

  It must be the master book and the county magistrate, who have a very bad relationship with Ouyang Zhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi grimaced and snorted coldly: "Then what about the officials and edicts?"

  Ouyang Zhi still... shook his head.

  In the hall, whispering voices have already been heard.

   Some people have heard about the events in Dingxing County.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was cold, and he couldn't help saying: "They are not complaining about illness, they are treating state affairs as a joke! Well, aren't they all sick? Come, order the imperial doctor and the medical students of Xishan Academy Let's go to Dingxing County together to find out their condition, if they are really sick, then I will cure them, but if they are not sick, then it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

   All the ministers suddenly turned cold, and their hearts froze.

  The crime of deceiving the king, this is death without a place to die.

That Tian Jing trembled in his heart, he and several assistant officials, it can be said that he looked up but did not look down, at this time, His Majesty made a decisive decision, their fate... I am afraid that it is already doomed, Tian Jing suddenly has a kind of Feeling blessed.

  Thinking back then, if I had not followed Ouyang Shijun, but had been in cahoots with those assistant officials, I am afraid that today...I would be torn to pieces.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and then said: "Then the Qing family thinks who is appropriate to appoint as the county magistrate?"

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a while: "Tian Jing, the household secretary, is familiar with every detail of the New Deal and has rich experience in governing the county. I think Tian Jing is the most suitable candidate."

what…

  Tian Jing was stunned for a moment... himself... a household clerk, came to serve as the county magistrate?

Ouyang Zhi went on to say: "In addition, Wang Yong, the official of the court, knows everything about the county well, and is quite responsible. He can be the magistrate of the county. Zhang Jian, the official of the prison... Can…"

   buzz buzz...

  In Fengtian Hall, there was complete chaos.

  Daming has extremely strict standards for officials, and fame is almost a rigid standard.

   Only those who have won the Jinshi, the lowest and the lowest, also need to have the status of Juren, can they have the opportunity to be an official.

  Especially local officials, since Emperor Taizu Gao, there has never been an ordinary small official conferring an official title.

   What's more, it is Dingxing County and other counties that pay 820,000 taels of silver to the treasury a year.

   Crazy... just crazy.
