Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

When the Jinyiwei reported these people's comments to Zhu Zhankan.

Zhu Zhankan felt very interesting. After a county magistrate was arrested, he received mixed comments from the people?

"Bring up the Yanshan County magistrate." Zhu Zhankan picked up a cup of tea, his eyes downcast, expressionless.

But this image looked very inconsistent on Zhu Zhankan, an eight-year-old child.

"Who is in the hall?" Zhu Zhankan ordered people to build a simple Jinyiwei plaque nearby.

"Unfair! Unfair!" When the Yanshan County magistrate saw Zhu Zhankan wearing the official uniform of the Jinyiwei Zhenfushi, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

Chapter 85 The ancestral hall was built, and the heroic spirit of the White Horse Yicong

"Who is in the hall!" Zhu Zhankan asked again calmly.

The Yanshan County magistrate was shocked that such a young grandson of the emperor had such a good heart.

"Yanshan County Magistrate Hu Yun." The Yanshan County magistrate answered truthfully.

"Sixth brother, is this the magistrate of Yanshan County?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked in a childish voice with a naive face.

Zhu Zhankan nodded.

When the magistrate of Yanshan County saw Zhu Zhanzhen and heard his words, it was obviously another grandson of the emperor!

The hope of survival may lie in this grandson who looks easy to talk to.

"Mr. Yanshan County, I already know your guilt. Are you still not going to tell the truth?" Zhu Zhankan sipped his tea and said in a light tone.

"Today I am honored to see the grandson of the emperor. Can you allow me to clean up?" The magistrate of Yanshan County asked carefully.

"When I try a case, there is a principle. If you confess, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you conceal it by force, you will die." Zhu Zhankan said.

"I really don't know what your highness wants to know. I don't know which colleague is framing me."

Zhu Zhanzhen said in a childish voice: "Sixth brother, since the magistrate said so, we don't need to interrogate him."

The magistrate of Yanshan County felt relieved.

"Just drag him out and chop him off!"

"Um...ah?!" The magistrate of Yanshan County looked up in disbelief.

Looking at the innocent Zhu Zhanji, how could such a handsome child say such cold words?

He was about to cast his eyes on Zhu Zhankan, the Jinyiwei Zhenfushi.

"Okay." Zhu Zhankan stood up: "Come on, drag him down and chop him off!"

What! Is he going to be beheaded?

The magistrate of Yanshan County was immediately panicked when he heard Zhu Zhankan's order.

Too careless! It's really too careless!

How can you just take someone to behead him like this!

Can't you ask a few more questions? Even if you ask one more question? Maybe I will tell you!

"It's unfair! I'm innocent!" The magistrate was a little panicked. If a Zhenfushi said he wanted to kill him, he really thought the other party was scaring him.

But who is the person in front of him? The emperor's grandson!

In addition, the emperor himself wanted to promote the reform of the salt policy.

If he is not careful, he, the county magistrate, will become a chicken to intimidate others!

He knows the bad things he has done, and there are many things exposed. If he fails, his whole family will be executed.

He finally got to the position of county magistrate in Shang County, and he has only been in office for two and a half years.

Of course he doesn't want to die! Even if he wants to die, he can't take his whole family with him.

"I will explain and cooperate! I beg you to spare my family." The magistrate of Yanshan County can only try to save his family.

"I can't implicate my family." Zhu Zhankan sat back, but I didn't say that I would definitely not touch your family.

Who knows how many people will be implicated in your case.

The county magistrate tactfully began to talk about the issue of salt administration.

Including how they submit petitions, how they connect, how they get in and out of salt permits...

"Has the court never interfered with this situation?"

The magistrate of Yanshan County replied with a bewildered look: "Isn't this what the court has always done? Give salt permits as a reward to various meritorious officials?"

And these "meritorious officials" who govern the local areas.

How much is the court's salary per year? That little money may not even be enough to support their own servants!

If they are Beijing officials, it's easier to say, at least they don't need to support a group of people under them.

But as a local official, it's not such a simple matter.

Although the court has assigned them a certain number of officials and clerks.

Including county magistrates, chief clerks, registrars, inspectors, teachers, instructors, and police chiefs, only these are officials supported by the court.

But to build a county, you still need auxiliary personnel such as clerks, yamen runners, coroners, lawyers, and police officers.

In addition to the part of the salary subsidy given by the court, the rest of the big head still needs to be paid by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate has no money, so he can only do it himself, and there are some jobs that the county magistrate cannot do himself.

In this case, he can only find ways to make money by himself!

Of course, there are also many people who are simply corrupt.

There is no great ideal at all.

The salt administration is naturally the best place to start.

As long as they take some of the money that leaks from the nails of those nobles and meritorious officials, it will be enough for them to make a fortune.

"Take him down first and keep him under strict supervision."

Several Jinyiwei took the Yanshan County Magistrate away, and the Yanshan County Magistrate was relieved.

As long as he is not directly chopped off, there is hope.

Zhu Zhankan frowned and thought, if you want to change the salt administration, you can't just shout slogans.

In the past, how did you extract refined salt from crude salt in chemistry class?

Stirring, dissolving, adding alkali, filtering?

This method can be studied by Big Brother.

Those craftsmen know the principle, so they should be able to figure it out, right?

It seems that limestone can have a purifying effect, right?

If the experience is really successfully created, it will be a revolutionary victory!

The so-called salt policy will usher in a complete reform!

Zhu Zhankan was planning to write down these methods and pass them on to Big Brother.

Suddenly found that the salt spirit seemed to be... eating salt?

And some salt particles seemed to fall out from its butt!

It looks like refined salt particles!

Tuanzi smiled awkwardly but politely, licked the coarse salt in his hand, and pulled out a handful of refined salt...

"What...what is the principle? Is the salt spirit a coarse salt filter?"

Zhu Zhankan saw this scene and considered whether to use the salt spirit as a filter directly.

However, when Tuanzi ate for a while, he carefully put down the coarse salt in the small backpack.

It seemed to say, I'm full, don't get close to me.

Zhu Zhankan gave up this tempting method and let it go to Big Brother.

At this moment, the system completed the task prompt sound again.

[Family achievement task: Family inheritance]

[Task goal: Build the Zhu family's ancestral hall and set up relevant configurations in the ancestral hall. The more complete the configuration, the richer the reward. ]

[Task completed]

[Configuration: sixteen good rooms, a tablet hall for ancestors, a retreat hall, a book loft...]

Although the construction period is in a hurry, the speed of construction is indeed unsatisfactory.

Zhu Zhankan nodded with satisfaction, and then cast his eyes on the reward.

[Task reward: The heroic spirit of the White Horse Volunteers]

[Note: A total of seventy-three houses were built, seventeen supporting functions were completed, and a total of seven hundred and thirty soldiers' heroic spirits and seventeen officers' heroic spirits were rewarded]

"Reward heroic spirits? Extract them, let me see what heroic spirits are." Zhu Zhankan muttered in his heart.
