Chapter 968: Queen Mother 8
Looking at the excerpts sent again, naturally some people honestly confessed, and some people held a fluke mentality and avoided the important and trivialized. Jiang Chan glanced at ten lines, and quickly went through all these excerpts.
Then he pondered for a while, and reported a list of names: "Father-in-law Xu, these people asked Qinglongwei to pay attention, collect the necessary evidence, and then send it to the Criminal Department." As for the rest ......"
"Let's talk about the rest in the court. "Look at the sky, it's time for the early dynasty.
Jiang Chan went out of the dormitory to the main hall, the queen mother is not so easy to be, the sky is not yet bright, and she has to go to the morning court. When the first emperor Zhao Xian was here, he was extremely diligent, basically every day, and Jiang Chan didn't think about changing.
Now that she has no real power in her hands, she thinks that if she rests and slacks, it will be even more disadvantageous to her situation.
In the court, Jiang Chan took out a few officials of the household department who were not so serious, punished them for a year, and gave them a verbal reprimand, and then said nothing more.
Several officials who were not named were even more worried, and recently they were also figuring out the temper of the queen mother. Now she has roughly figured out three points, and if she had a seizure at that time, there would be nothing to do later.
If she didn't mention it at the time, it is estimated that there would be a storm waiting for her later. Thinking of the folds they handed in overnight, the more I thought about it, the more empty my heart became.
Gonggong Xu squinted his eyes and took in all the reactions of these people.
Maybe Jiang Chan has just been listening to politics for two days, and his methods are too resolute. In addition, several of her newly promoted officials are also practical, and when they went to the court, everyone spoke simply, and there were not so many flowery rhetoric.
Jiang Chan is satisfied, it must be as simple as that.
After the court meeting, the officials went to their respective departments to work, and Jiang Chan alone called Sheng Yuanfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to the imperial study.
In the past two days, only the Ministry of Industry has been calm, who made the Ministry of Industry the last of the six?
Jiang Chan sat behind the imperial case, seeing that Sheng Yuanfu was still a little frightened, Jiang Chan didn't say much, for a high-ranking person, it is not impossible to make the courtiers afraid of themselves.
What's more, the age of the original owner is a hard flaw, but he is only sixteen years old, so it's better not to take the approachable route.
"Now that the spring ploughing has passed, the mourning family heard that it has not rained in the eastern part of the country for half a month, which is not a good sign. ”
Jiang Chan slowly organized the language, "The mourning family wants the Ministry of Industry to send a group of people to the eastern counties to carefully investigate and build water conservancy. ”
Sheng Yuanfu was relieved of Da'an, and he didn't want to accuse him of not doing his job properly. Go to the east, that's a coincidence, he was born in Qiye County in the east, and now this time, he can also go back to have a look.
"Niangniang, it takes a lot of silver taels to build water conservancy...... although this thing has to be done, but there is no silver, what can he do?
Jiang Chan also had a budget, and Father-in-law Xu quickly brought over a man dressed as a guard.
"This is Xu Qing of Qinglongwei, this time he will bring people to accompany you over, the household department distributes so many silver taels to the eastern counties every year, and the use of these silver taels must be well investigated. ”
The implication is already very clear, what are you afraid of if you don't have silver? If you find out a moth, you will have silver. Where is there really such an honest official? As long as you have the heart, you can find the way to make money.
Qinglongwei, hearing this word, Sheng Yuanfu was shocked, it turned out that the rumors were true. Unexpectedly, not long after the death of the first emperor, the queen mother took the power of Qinglongwei into her own hands.
No wonder she dared to argue with Han Xiang so boldly, her feelings were that she had someone in her hands, and she didn't panic at all.
Sheng Yuanfu also understood what Jiang Chan meant, okay, after Lingnan, the Queen Mother is going to take the eastern counties. In this way, it is long overdue for the atmosphere of officialdom to change.
"In addition, this is the distribution map of the eastern counties, and the direction of the river is on it, and this is a waterwheel drawing obtained by the mourning family, if the waterwheel is built in the upper reaches of the river, the pressure of irrigation for the people will be greatly saved. ”
Jiang Chan pushed over a few more drawings, and the parts of the waterwheel on them were all drawn in great detail. She had seen a waterwheel, and it was not difficult to draw the drawings as they were.
Sheng Yuanfu took the drawings and pondered carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt exquisite, "The minister must live up to his mother's expectations." ”
"Xu Qing, you go with Master Shan, be sure to ensure Lord Shan's safety. ”
After a few more words, Xu Qing and Sheng Yuanfu went out of the imperial study together.
Sheng Yuanfu is also a practical person, so he immediately returned to the Ministry of Industry, ordered more than a dozen officials, and set off with Xu Qing and nearly a hundred guards to the eastern counties.
The Ministry of Industry itself is at the outer end of power, and Jiang Chan confessed to this matter, but no official inquired about it.
Jiang Chan was still a little uneasy, and sent Father-in-law Xu to the British father-in-law's house again. The army now stationed in the east is the descendant of the British duke, and Jiang Chan is also in communication with the British duke.
After sending off Father-in-law Xu, the British Duke went back to his study and sat down, wrote a letter and recruited his henchmen, asking him to send it to the eastern garrison as soon as possible.
"Master, take a sip of tea, you haven't rested for a while since you came back from the last dynasty. "The Duchess of the Kingdom served tea to the British Princess, the British Princess, who was old, and she was quite distressed to see him so busy.
"Niangniang has important things to explain, and I always have to do my best. Leaning on the Taishi's chair, the British Duke sighed: "Wait, there will be great turmoil in the eastern counties." ”
"What do you say? It's almost the same as Lingnan? But I haven't heard of anyone in the east who supports the army and respects himself?"
"The Ministry of Industry said that now that spring plowing has passed, and there has not been a single rain in the eastern counties, officials have been specially sent to build water conservancy. ”
In this way, the Queen Mother is a practical person. ”
"I don't know if she can do practical things, but I know that if she really governs the eastern counties, then her reputation among the people will be extraordinary. ”
The British Duke sighed: "Wait and see, in another year or two, she won't have the final say in this court? Even Han Xiang's old thief is now living at home." ”
"In my opinion, Han Xiang's move was too bad, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation now. The Duchess sat down across from the Duke of England and took a book in her hand.
"He wants to play with the Queen Mother, and if he doesn't take advantage of the fact that he will press her down now, his position in the court will be more difficult in the future. Unexpectedly, An Guogong's daughter was so rigid that she actually agreed to his request to return to his hometown, so Han Xiang had no choice if he didn't go back. ”
The British public sees it very clearly, after all, the government and the opposition have been up and down for decades, and they can understand the meaning after a little thought.
