My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 297 Great hero

  Yang Rong only pondered for a moment.

   Then, he glanced at Jian Yi and Zhang Anshi.

  He looked very calm, as if he was thinking about something.

  As if in front of him, these critical matters of countless lives have nothing to do with him.

   Then, he calmly said: "Your Majesty thinks which is right and which is wrong?"

  Zhu Di didn't expect Yang Rong to ask back.

   This made Zhu Di very disgusted!

  I am asking you, do you dare to ask me?

  Now Zhu Di is like an angry lion.

  Zhu Di said: "I ask you!"

"Actually, Your Majesty has no answer." Yang Rong said: "The matter of the Taiping Mansion is unprecedented, and I have never seen it in the classics and historical records. Therefore, Duke Wei's governance of the Taiping Mansion is indeed very effective, but it cannot be said that Mr. Jian is wrong. This is Because, according to the books Mr. Jian read, governing the world is really not what it should be. For these out-of-the-line officials, the minister thinks that... this is his good intentions."

  The corner of Zhu Di's mouth curled into a sneer, and then he said, "Good intentions?"

Yang Rong seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in Zhu Di's words, and said: "Yes, what Duke Wei did is unprecedented, and it will inevitably arouse the resentment of many people in the world. Yu Yi, isn't this a kind of warning and protection for Duke Wei? Let Duke Wei not continue to cross the thunder pool, so as not to become a target of public criticism, and stop his behavior...I think Duke Jian is kind."

  Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said: "What a fool!"

  Yang Rong still seemed calm and unhurried, and said: "Can your majesty please let your majesty speak to the end?"

  Yang Rong is really bold, but he does seem very calm.

He still said slowly: "I did not criticize Duke Wei, Duke Wei's achievements are real! I am also very happy with Taiping Mansion, and want to see... what kind of achievements this Taiping Mansion can achieve. Degree."

Yang Rong paused, then continued: "But Your Majesty... Wei Guogong is still playing with fire, and those who play with fire may not necessarily set themselves on fire. It's just that Wei Guogong is like this, which is equivalent to putting himself on the edge of a cliff. If he is not careful, he may For me, Da Ming, the success or failure of the Taiping Mansion is also related to the survival of Da Ming. If this is the case, then... why don't you just wait and see?"

  Zhu Di said coldly: "Taiping Mansion is already the crown of all the mansions in the world."

  Yang Rong shook his head and said: "This is not fair. The Taiping Mansion has indeed made many achievements, which are eye-opening, but the reason why it is today, I think there are several points that are inseparable."

"One is, after all, Duke Wei is an extremely personable minister. His prestige is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and Duke Wei is a dragon and phoenix among people. Isn't it easy for such a person to govern a mansion? Can Duke Wei be in the Taiping Mansion? What can be done, but let other people serve as magistrates, will it be successful?'

"Other magistrates, after all, their talents are far inferior to Duke Wei's, and their prestige is not comparable to Duke Wei's. As far as I know, many prefects have taken office, and even the little officials below them can't do what they say. He was deceived and concealed by the subordinate officials. But this will not happen in Taiping Mansion, no one dares to hide a Jinyiwei Commander."

  Zhu Di: "..."

Yang Rong continued: "So, what happened in Taiping Mansion, did it originate from Wei Guogong's great talent, or this set... If it is really usable, even more useful than the methods advocated by the ancient sages, it remains to be seen. Discuss."

  Zhu Di frowned, folded his hands behind his back, and became thoughtful.

   I have to say that what Yang Rong said at this time was very displeasing to Zhu Di, but Yang Rong... spoke very fairly, and also cut to the crux of the problem.

  So Zhu Di said: "What do you mean, you want to try this method in other prefectures?"

  After hearing this, all the officials wailed in their hearts.

   If this is implemented in their hometown, it will be copying their hidden fields and making them pay taxes!

Yang Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what the world is implementing now is an ancient method, so although there are many problems in various prefectures and counties, they are still in peace. What Taiping Mansion is implementing is I think it is not a safe strategy to rush to promote new things that have never been seen before, before discovering the problem. I have a strategy..."

  Zhu Di's tone is milder. There is a reason for his trust in Yang Rong.

  What Yang Rong said, whether he agrees or not, at least, Yang Rong always clarifies his position from the standpoint of Jiangshan Sheji. Zhu Di knew that he had a public heart and was not partial, so he was more willing to accept his words.

Yang Rongdao: "At the junction of Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, there is Ningguo Mansion, which governs Xuancheng County. This place is only a short distance from Nanjing. Duke Jian is a veteran of the three dynasties, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, minister of the world, No matter it is character or ability, it cannot be compared with it. How about... I invite Mr. Jian to go to the Ningguo Mansion and serve as the magistrate temporarily, and teach your majesty to see that I am a very important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and rule according to what the sage said , what can a government look like!"

"Duke Jian, like Duke Wei, is also extremely prestigious and able to control officials. After one year, if Ningguo Mansion does not pick up things on the roads, does not close its doors at night, and achieves great governance, then it proves that the reason why Taiping Mansion is today is not because of Zhang Anshi's method is right, it's just because...the Taiping Mansion has a Wei Guogong. But if the Taiping Mansion ruled by Lord Jian is far inferior to Taiping Mansion, it can be seen that the Taiping Mansion's method is indeed worthy of praise. At that time, which one is right? No, it can be clearly seen."

   "Your Majesty, doing this... has several advantages, whether it is good or bad, at least it can teach people to be convincing. In fact... I also have a selfish heart."

   "Selfishness?"

  Zhu Di looked at Yang Rong suspiciously.

Yang Rong smiled slightly and said: "If Taiping Mansion... is really better than Ningguo Mansion, it means that I, Ming, have found a new way. After all, in the past dynasties...although there were times of governance, there were times of chaos. How many days? The minister's selfishness is... hope that the Taiping Mansion can far surpass the Ningguo Mansion."

  Zhang Anshi stood aside, a little angry at first, knowing in his heart that Yang Rong was pulling sideways.

   But at this time, he began to admire Yang Rong.

  This guy is very good. What he said made people like Zhang Anshi not hate him, but felt that this guy... seemed to be biased towards himself.

  But for people like Jian Yi, he seemed to think that Yang Rong was his own. He said these words with great pains, obviously trying to win Jian Yi, and it was obvious that people like Jian Yi must be full of self-confidence.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, governing a small mansion in a small area, isn't that easy to grasp? Yang Rong is really a good man, under His Majesty's fury, he dared to offend His Majesty Nilin and tried his best to protect His Majesty's righteousness.

  So what about Zhu Di?

For Zhu Di, what Yang Rong said was fair. He stripped the whole thing away, raised all the pros and cons and his doubts, and governing the world is not something that happens overnight. It is a new policy. , Whether there are any hidden dangers remains to be seen, and...the idea of ​​Jian Yi to govern the Ningguo Mansion is definitely considered to be a bowl of water, at least...this is not a bad thing for the court and society.

  Zhu Di naturally felt that Yang Rong was a very safe person, a steady person who always cared about the community.

  Zhang Anshi admired it at first, and then he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This hanging hair... is really good at both sides. Is this the ability of the legendary "Three Yangs"?"

  Zhu Di still had a cold face, but looking at Yang Rong's face, it was not murderous.

   At this time, he turned his eyes, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "What do you think of Zhang Qing's family?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, I think... it's all right."

  Zhang Anshi has no objection. What Taiping Mansion has come to now is to find an opportunity to convince everyone.

  This kind of unprecedented national policy can never reach a consensus overnight. What the Taiping government has to do now is to try its best to prove itself.

  Zhu Di nodded, looked at Jian Yi, couldn't help turning cold again, and said, "Jian Yi, what do you think?"

  Jian Yi said: "Dare not to follow orders."

  Zhu Di said: "That's good, let's dismiss Jian Yi's Minister of the Ministry of Officials..."

   "Your Majesty." Yang Rong said at this time: "It would be unfair to depose Mr. Jian as a magistrate. After all, Duke Wei is the Duke of the country, and the commander of Jinyiwei is the same as the prefect."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials... Ren Zhifu?"

  Yang Rongdao: "Since the Taiping Mansion set a precedent, then...why not do it again?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "It seems that if it is not the case, you will not be able to stop your mouths. Since this is the case, Jian Yi, who is also the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Go to Xuancheng, the governing place of the Ningguo Mansion, to act as an acting government affairs officer, and as for the Ministry of Officials...don’t bother him for the time being.”

  Jian Yi burst into tears. Although he was ready to die, he never thought that he would have another chance.

  Who really wants to die if they can live?

  As far as he is concerned, the mere Ningguo Mansion is just a small test of the sword. In any case, he is still alive after the catastrophe, and even... gave him a chance to prove himself.

  He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di immediately said lightly: "Jian Yi made a big mistake, and he should not be forgiven lightly. Someone will come and take his family... to the prison... what crime should be, or what crime. Jian Yi... If you succeed in governing the Ningguo Mansion But if nothing happens...I think you are an old minister, and you have made meritorious service in serving Emperor Gaozu, so I will spare your life, but your family..."

  Zhu Di didn't continue talking about the following words.

  Jian Yi's face was ashen.

Zhu Di went on to say: "All the officials involved in this matter, except Ling Chi's Langzhong Liu Rong, the rest can also go to the Ningguo Mansion... Aren't they all very capable? Then let me see their skills, but... it's just a matter of time." For example, their family members are arrested at sea, and they are also detained and imprisoned for punishment.”

   "Long live my emperor."

  Zhu Di waved his hand: "Yang Qing's words for the country are my humerus. I heard that Yang Qing's family was in trouble when he was young, and it was not easy to live in the capital. I gave him a mansion and three thousand taels of silver for the repair of the mansion."

  Yang Rong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  Hu Guang: "..."

  At this time, Hu Guang finally knew the gap between himself and Yang Rong, and he couldn't help but think of Yang Rong's evaluation of him at the beginning.

  Sometimes, the court really needs an honest man...and he is such an honest man, so don't play tricks, because he doesn't have that brain.

  He sighed in his heart, faintly jealous of Yang Rong.

Immediately, Zhu Di walked up to Gao Xiang in front of everyone, the coldness on his face seemed to subside all of a sudden, and he said kindly: "Gao Qing's family, the officials are trying to harm you, are you satisfied with my handling? If not You can say it bluntly, but right now, to govern the world, there must be people like Gao Qing’s family and others. The Gao Qing family should stop calling themselves untouchables, and don’t refuse. The rest of the people in the mansion will also stay in their positions!"

"Zhang Anshi, after all, is still young. He is smart enough to act, but impatient. He always likes to opportunistically. You are all meticulous people. I will entrust Zhang Anshi to you today. I hope you will help him and fill in the gaps for him. , so I can feel at ease."

   Speaking of this, Gao Xiang couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and his face suppressed excitement.

   This is really smoke from the ancestral grave. If his ancestors knew that their children and grandchildren were treated with such courtesy by the emperor, no, they were treated as soldiers of the state, the coffin might not be able to hold down.

  Gao Xiang bowed down without hesitation, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty and Duke Wei regard the minister as their confidant, and the minister should do his best to do his best."

  The rest bowed down one after another, shouting long live.

  Zhu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "National supporters should be like this, not like some people who are killed by God."

some people:"…"

  Zhu Di was too lazy to look at other people, so he said coldly: "Let's leave it at that for today."

  It was getting late, so Zhu Di didn't stay any longer, and drove back to the palace directly.

  But what happened today is enough to shock the world.

  All the officials in the Taiping Mansion were promoted to two levels.

  Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, served as the magistrate of Ningguo.

  At the same time, Ti Qi took the driving stickers to Jian's house, and directly took Jian Yi's family members to the Imperial Prison for detention.

  In a short while, the capital was filled with mourning, and there were as many as 70 ministers affected, and the imperial prison was also full of people in a short time.

  Zhang Anshi summoned Chen Li.

  Chen Li arrived in front of Zhang Anshi, but he was the first to complain: "The people of this family, with their families, regard our imperial prison as a nursery. If this imperial prison is not expanded, what will happen?"

  Zhang Anshi asked: "There are more than seventy households?"

Chen Li said with a depressed face: "Yes, there are more than 2,900 people, up to 70 or 80 years old, and there are babies below, not to mention that there are many women. Let me scold you a little bit humbly."

  Zhang Anshi said tolerantly: "You scold me."

With Zhang Anshi's permission, Chen Li spit out the words he was holding back in his heart: "The one who entered his mother is the censor Jiangwen, and this guy has fourteen concubines alone. This old man is over sixty years old. Thanks to him And this interest."

  When cursing these words, Chen Li's face was full of contempt.

  Zhang Anshi didn't like this kind of person either, so he didn't want to waste his words on this kind of person, so he said, "Okay, okay, don't complain."

  Chen Li had no choice but to give up, and asked instead: "These people...how to deal with them? Do you want to..."

  Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Most of them are female relatives, and they are also angry. There is no need to torture them severely. You, take your hostility away."

   "Yes, yes, you will die for being humble." Chen Lidao: "Being humble just feels that...these people are against you, my lord..."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I have a way, and there is no need to imprison them in prison."

   "Your Majesty..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's arrange them in Eunuch Deng's farm! Anyway, I'm not afraid of them running away, just let a few Tiqi take care of them. Don't make things difficult for them, just teach them to separate the males from the old and the weak. The men are responsible for planting crops with Deng Gonggong, reclaiming the land, and giving them money and food according to their work. The old and weak, women and children are temporarily locked up in the farm. They eat and drink, and rely on the men to earn their own money. When they come out, it’s up to them whether they are hungry or full, whether they are dressed warmly or naked.”

   "Ah..." Chen Li hesitated, "I'm afraid Eunuch Deng won't agree."

"He will be willing." Zhang Anshi said firmly: "You don't know him well. If he knows that these people can be resettled, he will be willing. He will not teach me to clean up in prison. He must be afraid that I will offend people everywhere. dead, I would rather find a way to arrange them."

  When Zhang Anshi said this, he had a smile on his face and a rare warmth in his eyes.

  Chen Li seemed to have come to his senses suddenly, and said, "I am so humble that I forgot that Eunuch Deng watched you grow up."

"Hurry up." Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Distribute farm tools to them, and group them by household. If there are no males in the family, let the females do needlework. Except for those who are over sixty years old, there are also children under ten years old. The rest All...you must do what you can. The rest, just leave it to Eunuch Deng, and he will take care of it."

"Yes."

  Zhang Anshi sent Chen Li away, and then asked Gao Xiangren to wait.

  Gao Xiangren and others have bathed and changed their clothes, and put on their official robes again. The haggardness before seems to have been swept away.

  This time, although he stayed in the post and his official position remained the same, his grade was not the same.

  For example, Gao Xiang directly stepped from the fifth rank to the fourth rank. For the local parent officials, one step further, he may become a chief envoy, almost reaching the ceiling of the local officials.

Not to mention, after this incident, even His Majesty has an impression of them, not to mention Wei Guogong, the big celebrity in front of His Majesty, they are very clear that in the future...as long as there are no mistakes, the future will be fine. Visible.

  So when we saw Zhang Anshi again, everyone was very happy, but I don’t know who, suddenly the eye circles were a little red. After experiencing such a life and death honor and disgrace, I really felt a lot of emotions, and some people couldn’t help crying.

  Others seem to be affected by this, and they can't help but wipe their tears.

  Everyone said: "I have seen the father-in-law."

Zhang Anshi pretended not to see them wiping their tears, but said: "You already know the situation. That Jian Yi...is still not convinced, no, it is because many people in the world are not convinced, and think that Taiping Mansion can have today because of me. Because of Wei Guogong. If this is the case, then let them see how powerful we are! Being able to collect money and food is the first step. According to the rules of the court, when the money and food are collected, the government and the county can keep part of it. As expenses, in addition to sending the money to the court, we have to calculate how much money we have on hand, all in all, there should be no shortage of money and food in our mansion."

"After taking this first step, there must be a second and third step. Tax collection is not the purpose, but the purpose is how to spend it, and it has to be spent at a critical point. So starting today... the government will set up a government conference. According to the rules, I am the one, the other is the acquaintance, and there are Zhaomo and Tuiguan. Every few days, matters in the mansion are discussed. Everyone finalizes the matter, figures out what to do next, and then lets the subordinates do it. "

"Not to mention other things, I looked at the roads, and we need to repair them. We have to build commercial roads. Besides, there is the problem of schools. Children must study. All villages with more than 300 households have to hire a teacher , and have to hire a doctor to open the shop, these... can get subsidies for money and food. Of course, I am just starting, and then there is the problem of the land inspection department and the water inspection department. If they want to prevent theft, they must teach They are serious, not like a group of grassroots teams, they want to set up outposts in every township, inspection stations in counties, and inspection departments in government offices."

   "In short, money and food, repairing bridges and roads, people's livelihood, public security, and commerce must be taken care of everywhere. Where the government's money is still spent, and which areas need to be improved, let's take it step by step."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "I, Zhang Anshi, don't care what happens in other places, but in this Taiping Mansion, we have to have our own rules, and you have suffered too much. I know that there are many people outside, just waiting to see us It's a joke, and I even wish that we would be unlucky and have a big somersault. In that case, let them take a good look at it. It's a peaceful and prosperous world, and it's written in a polite way. I only have one thing, that is, everyone has something to eat, and everyone People have clothes to wear. If you do this well, you will have immeasurable merit and will last forever."

  Everyone is excited, and now everyone is thinking about it, what the **** is the rule of the arch, what is the way of governing the world, these **** things have no meaning except to use them for debate.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi said again: "Also, everyone has to submit a list of civil servants. If you want to make merit, our Taiping Mansion will make a special list for civil servants and military officials."

   "Catalogue?" Gao Xiang asked in surprise.

Zhang Anshidao: "Today's upgrade of the Taiping Mansion requires three bureaus, six divisions and nineteen institutes. These all need officials. In addition to the promotion of the original officials, some civil servants who have made meritorious service and effective work must also be added. By then I am here to recommend, and you, you can also recommend some candidates to me."

"Then there is this book-making. Of course, all official civil and military officials must make a book. All new officials in the future must also be formally inspected and inspected. After entering the book, use your life well and work for three years. As mentioned above, the Taiping Mansion also recognizes officials such as officials and chief officials among the officials, and pays salaries according to their seniority and official position. Everyone must follow the rules when they work hard."

  After hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
